School rocks with Katie Although Eumundi’s School of Rock students aren’t being taught by actor Jack Black, fourtime Aria award winning singer Katie Noonan takes the same approach to letting their souls shine through music. Katie founded the school five years ago with the aim to provide free quality music education for young people in the area. The students are usually taught by an array of talented Sunshine Coast musicians, but since Covid-19 put a halt to Katie’s tour plans, she has been able to teach the kids first hand. “It’s been amazing and particularly beautiful to watch children go through such significant a stage of their life,” she said.

Driving us batty Noosa Heads neighbours being driven batty by bats came close to blows last week when tempers flared between residents attempting to disperse a bat colony and others wanting to protect them. A colony of grey-headed flying foxes that are listed vulnerable to extinction under the Threatened Species Conservation Act have made their camp in Pinaroo Park. A Toulambi Street resident who has lived beside the park for the past 45 years said neighbours didn’t want to harm the bat colony but they were making conditions for residents “unbearable“. “We have to keep all our windows and doors closed. Our back deck is covered in bat s**t every day. I have to scrub it. We have incense burning all the time,“ he said. He said bats began camping in Pinaroo
Park about 10 years ago. They arrive in May and leave in November, leaving behind a small colony that does not disturb residents. “In May they came back with a vengence. About a month ago another colony turned up,“ he said. “We are at our wits end. At night it’s a spectacle. The sky is black. You can almost taste it - the stench.“ “A few people get out there with pots and pans. We feel if the bats are disturbed enough
they will move.“ Last Thursday when residents were banging their pots and pans another resident approached them angered by their attempts to disturb the bats and a scuffle ensued. An Allambie Terrace resident said she didn’t know what council could do to move the bats “but surely they could do something for all the residents“. “The smell late afternoons when they take off and empty their bladders and early mornings when they come back and do the same is unbearable inside the houses,“ she said. Human wars on bats are not new in Noosa or across the country. As humans have taken over and destroyed their habitat bats have been forced to move into urban areas where they have been shot at, netted, electrocuted on powerlines and chased. When foremost bat expert Dr Les Hall visited Noosa in 2017 he described flying foxes
as smelly, noisy and offensive, but said it was hard not to admire their resilience, adaptability, intelligence and the role only they play in pollinating our native trees. “Flying foxes are quite often in the news. They’re quite good at making a nuisance of themselves,” said Dr Hall who spent a lifetime studying bats before he passed away in 2019. There are 26 species of bats living on the Sunshine Coast and 86 across Australia. There are three species of flying foxes on the Sunshine Coast, and each has a different breeding season. Their continual movement across large distances in search of food and their different breeding seasons, makes managing them in urban environments very difficult, he said. Flying foxes only stay in an area where there is food and have their babies where it is safe and there is food. Continued page 2

Driven batty From p1 Noosa Flying Fox Rescue spokeswoman Jan Davie said the grey-headed flying foxes in Pinaroo Park, like all flying foxes in the area, would be starving and the females would have been pregnant since May and due to give birth in November. She urged the residents to be more patient with the flying foxes, saying the stress from continual disturbance could cause the pregnant flying foxes to abort their babies and their actions were illegal. “A lot of the native trees like the paperbarks were burnt in the fires. They are very hungry,“ Ms Davie said. Since August the group have been supplementary feeding bats across the shire as well as picking up dead ones that have died of starvation. “The food source for them is zilch,“ she said. “They are our pollinators. If we lose them we lose our trees. If we lose them we lose our koalas.“ Ms Davie said she felt for the residents but called for their patience and understanding. She said flying foxes had 30 different calls and were very chatty and their odour came from their scent but she wanted to assure the residents they would not contract diseases from their droppings. There have been several studies on attempts to move bat colonies that have failed. One Griffith University study by Billy Roberts et.al. examined the consequences of attempts by government between 1999 and 2007 to relocate a flying fox camp in Maclean in northern NSW by subjecting the camp to continuous loud noise. The study found flying foxes returned to the original camp 23 times between those years, established a number of temporary camps and a new permanent camp near the town of Iluka. After almost a decade of dispersal attempts costing about $400,000 flying foxes had established camps over a wider area affecting an increased number of residents. Noosa Council’s Environmental Services manager Craig Doolan said flying foxes were a highly mobile and wild animal and the noise, smell and mess can be quite disturbing for residents. “State legislation prohibits the deliberate dispersal of flying-foxes from roosting sites and resident concerns over the action of using loud noises have been passed on the Department of Environment and Science for investigation,” he said. “The regular disturbance to the flying-foxes is making the noise and smell worse, amplifying the impacts on local residents,” he said. “If numbers don’t naturally decrease soon, we will look at what support we can provide residents. “We have previously provided car and clothesline covers and cleaning products to assist coping with the impacts in areas such as Wallace Park and Kin Kin,” he said. Mr Doolan said Pinaroo Park was not a new colony, but there has been a natural variability in numbers. “Advice from experts and the experience of other councils has shown any attempts to disperse flying-foxes usually fail, and can lead to further problems,” he said. Dr Hall suggested instead of trying to chase or deter them more time should be spent predicting the flowering of plants they ate and providing reserves for them. Flying foxes are the only species that pollinate at night when some native plants flower and across distances which maintain the vigour of trees and prevents inbreeding that could cause stunting or disease.
Enter the Biosphere Tourism Noosa chose animation instead of the usual tourist images to catch the eye of wouldbe visitors when it launched its new major marketing campaign this week aimed at inviting Australian travellers to explore the Biosphere. The campaign began last week with the release of digital teasers enticing visitors to ‘Get Ready To Enter The Biosphere’ before this week revealing the campaign - Enter the Biosphere. Tourism Noosa marketing and events lead Sonia Shillington said their research since March clearly showed what tourists wanted was to visit clean, green, natural open spaces. She said tourists were seeing nature as a life force, they wanted to go “forest bathing,” have an “environmental experience” and travel with
a purpose. “It’s an easy alignment with us in Noosa,” she said. With a limited budget and the challenge to compete against destinations around the country for an interstate and intrastate market Tourism Noosa got creative, using simple animated figures to mirror real-life experiences available in Noosa. Tourism Noosa CEO Melanie Anderson said the campaign tagline ‘Enter the Biosphere’ welcomes visitors to the Noosa UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, one of only two Biosphere Reserves in Queensland, and the only biosphere that joins another biosphere in the world, the Great Sandy Biosphere.
“We are taking visitors on a journey to discover the many and varied ways they can enjoy the region while sharing what it means to be a biosphere - where man and nature live in harmony and how the built environment was thoughtfully designed to enhance and preserve the natural environment of this beautiful destination,” she said. “The campaign tells the rest of Australia what we know, that Noosa is built around a tapestry of waterways, nature ecosystems and national parks. Complementing this are thriving local villages with boutique shopping, awardwinning restaurants, breweries and distilleries, accommodation to suit all tastes and plenty of adventure options just waiting to be explored.

Provectus Algae is an Australian biotech startup specialising in the optimisation of Algae to produce high-value compounds for use in a wide array of industries and applications.
$100,000 grant for Noosa ‘world first’ biotech startup Federal Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien announced a significant boost for a Noosa biotech startup, with funding for world-first technology to extract highly valuable compounds from algae. Australia’s first commercial algae processing facility Provectus Algae will receive $100,000 from the Manufacturing Modernisation Fund (MMF) towards a $350,000 project using algal photobioreactor capabilities to produce novel biologics and pharmaceuticals. The Noosa-based biotech start-up produces compounds made from algae that are used in a wide array of industries and applications, including biologic treatments for infectious, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases. Mr O’Brien said the support came at a critical time for the local manufacturing sector and would enable Provectus Algae to continue its
innovative work despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s more important than ever for Australian companies to look to unique opportunities like the biotechnology and to explore new business models, and I am pleased to see Provectus Algae is showing the world what can be achieved on Australian shores,” Mr O’Brien said. In addition to the Manufacturing Modernisation Fund grant, Provectus Algae has also received a $250,000 Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre grant this year, funded by the Australian Government as well as $40,000 through the Accelerating Commercialisation Fund in 2018 to further develop a revolutionary algae lighting system for the global aquaculture market
Should we name and shame all criminals or should their deeds and identity remain hidden as they largely are during the term of incarceration, if that is their punishment? If we do, should we provide lists of people who appear in court each week. What would it achieve? What about juveniles. When the fires were started at Peregian Beach last year there were many calls to name the teenagers charged for setting the blaze that destroyed so much bushland, wildlife and one house. Laws prevent their identification. Maybe rightly so. Everyone does stupid things as a teenager. Should we name thieves, rapists, fraudsters? And what of murderers? I’ve seen enough police shows on serial killers to know some seek notoriety. If crime is your career wouldn’t you want to be named? Of all the criminals it’s drink drivers that are often named and shamed as Phil Jarratt explores this week. Among our collection of stories this week is one on a plane crash that occurred 30 years ago claiming the life of a Kin Kin man. Families and friends were devastated emotionally and financially by the accident and the impact continues three decades on.

Students Javier, Karina, Ana, Akari, Daniel and Zuzana
Student loss felt widely By Margaret Maccoll The Noosa Lexis English language school has dropped its campus enrolment from 300 international students to less than 30 since Covid-19 restrictions were imposed in March and the effects have been widespread. Students aged mostly in their mid-20s used to arrive weekly from across the work particularly Switzerland and Japan. They invested in the area, buying meals, taking trips and staying in rented accommodation or with 400 host families across the region. When Covid-19 restrictions were imposed the school was forced to close its doors and go online. Lexis English Noosa manager Becky Cantor said the school had a week to transfer all their face-to-face courses online. “We managed it,” she said. “It was incredible.” Most students returned to their homes and continued their studies online but some stayed and have recently resumed classes. Spanish student Karina lost her job in a Hastings Street restaurant when it closed and has only recently returned to a few hours work a week. “I wasn’t able to find another job. I work in hospitality. It’s so difficult,” she said. Brazilian student Daniel arrived in Noosa
five months ago and has lived on savings, unable to find a job. He is “really worried” about his mother, 63, and his 92-year-old-grandmother in Brazil where the Covid-situation is “not good”. “Every day I message them,” he said. “At the beginning my mum was concerned if I was wearing a mask and washing my hands but I said the situation here is under control. Daniel hopes to travel around Queensland but thinks the risk of visiting other states is too great. Lithuanian student Zuzana arrived in Noosa in March on a visitor visa with plans to obtain a student visa to enable her to study and work part-time. “I had no job and the school was closed. I couldn’t work without a student visa” she said. “It’s gotten better now. The school is open again and there are job possibilities.” With limited choices it is difficult for her to decide her next move. “The difficulty is the borders are closed,” she said. “It’s difficult to make the decision to go home because you would not be able to come back.” Spanish student Ana travelled to Brisbane from Melbourne just before borders were shut. Not able to find a job she began making Spanish food and delivering it to people in her area. She wants to travel around Australia with her best friend who is now in lockdown in Melbourne but that is not possible. Noosa Lexis normally attracts a range of
students, Ms Cantor said. Some are long-term students on student visas who come to learn English before moving on to further studies at TAFE or university. Some are on working holidays. The largest group are Swiss who are attracted to Lexis English because of its Cambridge English exam centre certification. The school also attracts Japanese junior study groups from high schools. And at this time of year European teenage study groups on their summer school break visit Noosa to learn English in the mornings and enjoy activities in the afternoons. Ms Cantor said she missed the students and the vibrancy they brought to the area.The school is still conducting zoom classes to international students including an entire Japanese soccer team that is training for the Olympics. In addition to English classes the school has expanded its scope to offer small business courses which are proving popular in Noosa. “It’s phenomenally challenging,” Lexis English director Ian Pratt said. “We’re an industry based on bringing people to Australia. We have schools in the cities and beach-based campuses like Noosa. Mr Pratt praised the response of the Noosa Junction community to assist Lexis English students during the Covid-crisis. “It was un-
believably generous,” he said. “They made a commitment no student was going to go hungry. “These are people with no relationship with the school but they were going to look after these kids.” Noosa Junction Association president Michael Tozer arranged for restaurants to offer free meals and a lot of local people offered accommodation to students, he said. The school continues to do everything it can to keep its teachers engaged. Jobkeeper had been fundamental to keeping jobs, Mr Pratt said. “We have people who have been there for a decade,” he said. “There’s a real family feel to the school in Noosa.” With classes resuming the school now has 27 students attending classes in reduced numbers to ensure they meet Covid-19 restrictions, Ms Cantor said. The students continue to be assisted with weekly food parcels of frozen meals, fresh fruit and vegetables and snacks organised by Study Sunshine Coast, delivered by community group Urban Angels with the assistance of government funding. With their current plans disrupted by Covid-19 the students are uncertain what the future will hold.

Katie rocks the classroom By Abbey Cannan Although Eumundi’s School of Rock students aren’t being taught by actor Jack Black, fourtime Aria award winning singer Katie Noonan takes the same approach to letting their souls shine through music. Katie founded the school five years ago with the aim to provide free quality music education for young people in the area. The students are usually taught by an array of talented Sunshine Coast musicians, but since Covid-19 put a halt to Katie’s tour plans, she has been able to teach the kids first hand. “It’s been amazing and particularly beautiful to watch children go through such significant a stage of their life,” she said. “It’s all about the pure joy of making music and having a good time. As long as the kids are smiling, I’m happy.” Katie’s desire for music started when she was just a child, with her mum teaching music education from home. “It was music education 24/7 at my house because she taught every afternoon after school,” she said. “In our area, there’s not a lot of opportunity because we are so spread out. So, this is a way that brings kids from all walks of life together. “Music is just such a wonderful companion for everybody and unfortunately in Australia it’s not as valued as much as it should be in education. “I observed what was available for my children and thought, I’d like to improve that.” School of Rock costs $25,000 to run each year, so they are raising funds through gigs including their drive-in concert on August 29, as part of the Horizon Festival. “I really want to keep this school free so it’s available to everyone,” Katie said. “We’re encouraging people to donate to the GoFundMe page or buy a ticket to the drive-in. “The concert will be transmitted through your car stereo and we’ll have a full screen and you’ll be able to see everything from the comfort of your car.” Covid-19 has had a dramatic impact on the entertainment industry this year, with Katie reminding us that one good thing will come out of this time. “We’re all going to write some pretty amazing records that are going to be full of a lot of angst and heart ache,” she said. “It’s been really tough. I was three dates into a 25-date national tour that was sold out and that was my family’s income for the first half of the year. So that just disappeared in smoke within 24 hours.” Each day brought more cancellations, from her work curating music programs in Finland to an artist residency in a castle in France, Katie’s schedule emptied in an instant. “The positives of living in this country

Star appeal puts the school spotlight on environment By Margaret Maccoll Actor Lincoln Lewis gave a movie star touch to the launch of the Wave of Change program on Tuesday at Sunshine Beach State High School aimed at educating primary and secondary students on the importance of recycling and keeping plastics out of the ocean. Containers for Change spokesman Adam Nicholson said Sunshine Beach SHS was one of 50 Queensland schools to be given free access to world class educational resources thanks to a partnership between the state’s container refund scheme, Containers for Change, and environmental global foundation Plastic Oceans Australasia. Lincoln Lewis told students he had grown up around beaches all his life and hoped as ambassador of the program to engage schools so that future generations would be able to grow up with the kind of beautiful environment he’d been able to grow up with. He said how impressed he with with the environmental actions of morning beach walkers when the group hit the beach to shoot some film.

Actor Lincoln Lewis talks recycling with Sunshine Beach SHS students. within a few minutes people walking past were picking them up, he said. Sunshine Beach students are already familiar with the benefits of keeping the environment clean and recycling plastics.
Student Adara Curry said her involvement in turtle care had given her an insight into the impacts of plastic on marine life. “It’s so sad when you see turtles that have taken plastics that should have been recycled,” she said.
“It’s good to make people realise what plastics do and make people recycle to make the environment nice.” Year 12 student Zoe Gralton has become an eco-warrior at the school, instrumental in raising awareness of environmental issues. Having grown up in an environmentally aware home Zoe began from Year 9 identifying issues and working to make changes including the introduction of environmentally degradable packaging at the school canteen. “When you know about an issue, it’s hard to ignore it,” she said. Student Ockert Visser said the Containers for Change (C4C) program had been working well at the school as students learnt more about the environment and the importance of recycling. C4C has become easier for students since the P&C unveiled a custom-made trailer earlier this month. The grant-funded trailer allows eligible containers to be collected at the school and also at events with the money raised to be used for other environmental and student well-being initiatives at the school.

Beach rescue bravery By Abbey Cannan A visitor who went to the rescue of a man drowning at Noosa Main Beach in 2018 has been honoured with a bravery award. Mr Reece Kershaw APM, Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police presented The Royal Humane Society of Australasia’s Certificate of Merit for bravery to Michael Watt, of Fadden, ACT. At 5.55pm on November 28, Mr Watt was on Noosa Main Beach when he saw a man approximately 50m from shore floating face down in the water. “We were on holidays and just sitting out there in front of one of the restaurants on the boardwalk,” Mr Watt said. “It was just coming on sunset, so it was unusual for someone to be swimming out that far on such a rough day. “I just thought it looked a bit suspicious, and I also dragged somebody in prior to that, so I knew there were rips out there.“ The beach conditions at the time were treacherous and a northerly breeze was creating large waves onto Noosa Main Beach. The large volume of water pushing onto the beach created a well-known and regular sweeping rip. “I just noticed that he was bobbing up and down a fair bit and without too much notice, there was no actions of waving hands or rescue or anything like that going on,“ Mr Watt said. The beach at the time was not patrolled by life-guards. Mr Watt grabbed a boogie board and ran into the water and swam out to the man. “It was just one of those things where it’s quite surreal,” Mr Watt said. “You see something and you just go and rush out there.” An off- duty life saver from Noosa SLSC also swam out to the man.
Michael Watt being presented with The Royal Humane Society of Australasia’s Certificate of Merit by Commissioner Reece Kershaw APM. Both Mr Watt and the off-duty life saver turned the man over and put him on the boogie board to keep his head out of the water. The life saver attempted CPR on the man whilst Mr Watt held him onto the boogie board. Both men tried to return the man to shore but the current was too strong and the men were unable to make any headway against the rip. Another off-duty life saver went to help on her training board. All three then managed to get the uncon-
scious man onto the training board. The female off-duty life saver was then able to return the man to shore. Sadly, the man passed away at the scene. Mr Watt said he had mixed feelings about being honoured with the award, which he received on at a ceremony Friday 24 July in Canberra. “It’s sort of mixed feelings because the end result wasn’t that great,” he said. “When we left the Life Saving Club, it was pretty horrific, he was in a plastic bag and his
wife was standing over him. “It was really sad actually, we went down to the club and had a bit of a chat with the guy in charge of the police, Ben Carroll, he was the second person on the scene. “We had a bit of a chat and we had a debrief the next day and it was all pretty sad.“ Despite the terrible incident, Mr Watt said he was a regular visitor to Noosa and planned to return in September. “It’s one of my favourite places.“

Founder of Mumma & Co, Renee Bennett with her children, Lucinda and Aidan.
Mum’s road to resilience By Abbey Cannan Experiencing first-hand the lows of postnatal depression, a Noosa resident is now wanting to empower other mums by offering vital support through real, honest, and humorous viewpoints. “How do I keep this human alive?” is a question many first-time mums, including Renee Bennett, have asked themselves after bringing their newborn home from the hospital.
Renee said it was an overwhelming and confusing time when the “honeymoon period” of being in a private hospital with supportive midwives came to an end. “I experienced the highs, but mostly lows, of childbirth and early motherhood,” she said. “For a long time, I tried to convince myself that I was sane and everything was going well, when realistically it was a lie.”

Her first-born Lucinda was nine months old when Renee finally realised she was suffering postnatal depression. “It was a Friday afternoon, she refused sleep, she was overtired, which is the least I can say for me,” Renee said. “She cried, and all I could do was grip my hands at the cot and cry and cry. I gently succumbed to her stubbornness and my lack of control and put her in the pram and went for a walk. “I cried so loud and collapsed in the street when neighbours came rushing to me, I was saved. I will never forget my beautiful neighbours for this. I was heard. Finally, I felt I the carer was being cared for.” It’s just the baby blues. It starts right after birth. It goes away on its own. It only happens to women. It can be prevented. These are just some of the common misconceptions around postnatal depression (PND). “You won’t just get over it or snap out of it. PND is a treatable medical condition,” Renee said. “Support is vital for both mental and physical health of the mother and the family. “It helps reduce the stress and mum has a more positive attitude towards bub and the household.” After leaving her job as a Newborn Hearing Screener at the Royal Childrens Hospital in Melbourne to move to Noosa three years ago, Renee knew she wanted to work with mums and babies again. “Loads of research later I discovered there was limited postnatal support options in
Noosa for new mums,” she said. “Noosa is a transient market popular with interstate families with lack of family support and the vibe of a tribe. Unfortunately, most of the support services are inconveniently located further down the coast as far as Caloundra.” That’s when she decided to create a new service for Noosa, called Mumma & Co. “Whether you’re a first, second, or fifth time mum the challenges of the first months after baby arrives are uniquely different to any other time in your child’s life ... and your own,” she said. “Research shows that mums, dads, and babies (the whole brood) have an easier time with a transition into their new life if a good support team is in place. “Mumma & Co. will provide evidencedbased information on infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, mother-baby bonding, infant soothing, and basic newborn care. “While that’s all important, so is the selfcare of the mother. So aside from the practical and serious stuff, I will connect new mums to all the fun stuff that mums need for time out. “I want to engage and support newborn mums in an approachable yet professional manner providing resources, local services and advice from health professionals in Noosa and the surrounding areas here on the Sunshine Coast.” For more information on Renee and her new business, visit https://mummaandco. com.au

Plane crash pain persists By Arthur Gorrie The sheer ferocity of the air crash that killed Kin Kin father Ken Newton in 1990 is just one of the reasons no-one has forgotten the Wondai King Air disaster. It has held Australia in a kind of low key but grim and persistent fascination for 30 years. Then there are the conspiracy theories, the claims of a “secret mission” and the shameful treatment his family seems to have received from the state government and the life insurance company that refused to pay out on Mr Newton’s policy. His widow, Patricia died of cancer in 2013, virtually penniless, relatives said this week. The house she and Ken wanted to build never happened. She lived out her years in the only accommodation on the property, a packing shed and caravan. But she kept the Kin Kin land, on which her daughter Belinda still lives today. “A secret mission,” some said. “A private journey,” said the insurance company which had only covered Ken’s life for commercial flights. And because the family received a small third party pay-out from the pilot’s insurance, the government made them pay back Ken’s workers compensation. But it was a commercial flight, Belinda’s sister Bonny Giddings said this week. Ken was at work and was on his way to Camden, New South Wales, to advise those involved in what might have been a significant new venture, a game meat export abattoir and integrated grazing operation at Mareeba. Bonny and her husband Steve have since moved to Victoria, where the coronavirus lockdown prevented them from attending a 30year commemoration of the crash. The commemoration was held at Wondai on 26 July, the 30th anniversary of the crash that devastated all six families of those on board.
Wondai resident Winston Burrows recounts the moment he saw the plane go down during the 30-year anniversary memorial of the Wondai Plane crash at the site on Sunday. Sadly, Covid-19 restrictions meant descendents of Kin Kin crash victime Ken Newton could not make it down for the Picture: JESSICA MCGRATH service. 212010 The crash forged a strangely unexpressed bond among the victim’s families, one which only became obvious through social media in the lead-up to the commemoration, Bonny and Steve said this week. Passengers on the Beech King Air did not apparently know the pilot had wrongly logged the flight as private, even though its purpose was clearly commercial. Ken, an agricultural consultant, was advising those involved in the planned new business. They had landed at Wondai, refuelled the aircraft and had just taken off with a full load of fuel when the plane began descending on full power, ploughing into the ground, witnesses have recalled. It was a dark night with no horizon and some believe the pilot may have experienced a well-known kind of disorientation, where he
may have mistakenly thought he was climbing. The fireball formed a traumatic image still seared into the memories of those watching the take-off from the ground. Steve Giddings said the commercial nature of the journey might have been established in court, had the victims’ families possessed the money needed to take on the insurance company. He and Bonny, who was 28, said the aircraft crashed just after take-off and ploughed what looked almost like an extended runway through the bush adjacent to the aerodrome. The couple, married relatively recently at the time, attended the crash scene two days later and report that much of the aircraft had been destroyed by heat, leaving lumps of molten aluminium scattered over the ground. “You could see why no-one at Wondai aero-
drome that night could ever forget it,” they said. Patricia found out about her husband’s death in the very early hours of 27 July, when Bonny’s sister, Belinda saw people with torches in the darkness outside. She feared intruders but, worse than that, it was Gympie police officers, lost on the long driveway to her Neusavale Rd, Kin Kin home, coming to tell Patricia the tragic news. The coroner could not determine whether the aircraft or the pilot was at fault, the plane not being equipped with a black box recording device. “I got a phone call from my father that night (as the plane approached Wondai),” Bonny said. It was to be the last time she ever spoke to him.

By Margaret Maccoll Lock your cars and doors including garage doors is the message from Coolum police after thieves roamed streets around the northern end of Peregian Beach on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, stealing what was easy pickings on their travels. Police are investigating the spat of thefts around Persimmon, Calliandra, Lancewood and Pavonia streets and have returned to the owners some property that was retrieved from nearby the scenes of the crimes or recovered by other people. There were no break-and-enters with access gained through unlocked doors and gates, police said. The burning of a car in Pavonia street has also been linked to the thefts, police said. About 7pm on Saturday neighbours heard explosions coming from a car on fire in a resident’s driveway and rang 000. Three Queensland Fire and Emergency Service units attended and extinguished the burning car, preventing it from spreading to the house or surroundings. Neighbourhood Watch was working at its best over the weekend as neighbours kept a close eye on each other and informed the police of suspicious behaviours. Over the weekend on Friday and Saturday
Car burnt out in Pavonia Street, Peregian Beach Neighbourhood Watch Area 2 Noosa sent out alerts to local residents to inform them of intrusions and thefts and reminded them to lock up and remain vigilant. Neighbourhood Watch reported two intrusions on 24 July - one in Lancewood St was a vehicle where nothing of value was stolen as the intruder was either interrupted or did not
find what they were looking for and the second in Persimmon Drive was the theft of a lemon tree from a back garden. They advised residents who reported finding discarded items on their footpath to take them to Coolum police. Information can be reported to Police Link 24 hours a day on 131 444.
You will be seen if you drive and phone Transportable, mobile phone detection cameras start rolling out across Queensland this week in an evaluation trial which runs until Christmas - part of a concerted, on-going bid to stamp out dangerous and illegal mobile device use while driving. In an Australian-first, the cameras use artificial intelligence to scan drivers to detect if they are using a mobile phone and will also capture people failing to wear a seatbelt. The trial of the specialised cameras that can monitor vehicles across multi-traffic lanes had to be postponed in April because of the Covid-19 outbreak. Their trial deployment here now follows a successful roll-out in New South Wales where just a handful of cameras snapped 21,000 drivers using handheld devices in their first two months of operation alone. The high-tech cameras can be installed on overpasses and bridges or simply operate from trailers at the roadside. Earlier this month, legislation was passed by State Government to permit the cameras to become a vital and permanent tool for road safety enforcement right across Queensland. Since the $1,000 fine for distracted driving took effect in February, more than 2,300 of-
fences have been detected and fines totalling $2.3 million issued. These drivers also receive four demerit points. But, eight of those fined have also been booked again for illegally using a mobile phone while driving and have lost a further eight demerit points. Having been caught twice within 12 months they face a loss of licence for a one year ‘good driving behaviour’ period. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the message was simple: just put your phone away. “Using your mobile phone when you’re be-
hind the wheel is as dangerous as drunk and drug driving,” he said. “33 Queensland lives were confirmed to have been lost in 2018 alone due to driver distraction, while another 1,359 people were hospitalised.” This year 132 lives have been lost on Queensland roads, 18 more than last year. However drivers caught doing the wrong thing during the six-month trial won’t be fined or receive a photograph of their illegal behaviour. “Initially, we are simply evaluating the cameras effectiveness,” Mr Bailey said. RACQ spokesman Paul Turner said the Club supported the trial with driver distraction the fastest growing problem on Queensland roads. “Mobile phone detection cameras give police greater ability to catch those doing the wrong thing, risking their lives and everyone else on the road by using their mobile phones,” Mr Turner said. “We have to wake up to ourselves and understand driver distraction is as dangerous as drink driving.” For more information visit https://www. qld.gov.au/transport/safety/road-safety/mobile-phones
Arrest over replica gun By Abbey Cannan A man has been arrested at Sunshine Beach last Friday morning after allegedly confronting police with a replica weapon. Officers attended an address on Park Crescent to conduct a welfare check at around 12.45am. It will be alleged that as police entered the unit, a man presented what appeared to be a semi-automatic rifle and pointed it at the two officers. Police retreated out of the residence and commenced negotiations with the man before calling for further assistance. It is further alleged that a short time later the man opened the front door and pushed the barrel of the weapon through the opening. A male senior constable immediately pushed the man back through the door, forcing him to drop the firearm. Officers then successfully deployed a taser, and as they went to restrain the man he allegedly slashed the male senior constable on the hand with a knife. His partner, a female senior constable, successfully disarmed the man and he was taken into custody. A further search of the unit uncovered a second lookalike rifle, determined to be a replica, and two knifes were seized. A 44-year-old Sunshine Beach man was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital for further assessment and is currently assisting police with inquiries. The 43-year-old male senior constable was also transported to hospital for treatment to a wound on his hand. Investigations are continuing.
Man killed in 4WD rollover One person died and another was seriously injured after a four-wheel-drive rollover on Fraser Island Sunday morning. Preliminary investigations indicate the vehicle was travelling along 75 Mile Beach at low tide when it lost control and rolled around 1.5 kilometres north of Eli Creek around 7am. The driver of the vehicle was pronounced deceased at the scene. A rear passenger in the vehicle also suffered significant injuries and was airlifted from the island for further medical treatment. Two additional passengers were treated on scene. The four occupants of the vehicle are all international tourists. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.

PHIL JARRATT chucks off the doona and meets the crowd at Meetup
Get up, gear up, meet up Is it like Tinder for old people? I ask indelicately. She laughs. “Oh, God no, please don’t suggest that! Ours is just a healthy lifestyle group for like-minded people who like to get out and about, having fun doing activities together. Over the three and a half years since I set the Noosa group up, a few romances have blossomed, but we have just as many married couples who come along. Meetup is just about making connections, making friends while having fun and staying healthy. I just love seeing people meet up and thrive.” Meetup was founded in New York in 2002 by a guy called Scott Heiferman, primarily to help people of similar interests organise events online. Its application proved so broad and so popular that the startup was eventually sold to WeWork in 2017, but its community-based values remain essentially the same. Ronnie Porter started out using it to assist her wedding organiser business, but it soon spilled into just wanting to bring people together to share her interest in healthy living, so Noosa Healthy Meetup Group was born. The Noosa group is now one of the biggest in the country, and, despite having several other organisers on her team, Ronnie finds herself working on it almost every day of the week, whether she’s leading a walk or a yoga class, or planning one of the group’s bigger social activities, like a healthy lunch. Says Ronnie: “For our social events we avoid noisy and heavy drinking venues, let’s keep it healthy.” Meetup membership is free, as are virtually all of its activities, and it’s a private group so no spam. And if you need further convincing, Meetup internationally is doing great things in support of racial and social justice. Find more info at https://www.meetup. com/en-AU/Noosa-Heads-Healthy-LivingMeetup/ or find them on social media at Noosa Healthy Meetup Group.

Meetup’s Ronnie Porter with her walkers. 12453581-FA28-20
It’s a chilly winter morning outside the Boathouse on Noosa River and I’m astounded as I approach the meeting place to discover a large crowd of senior folk who, however active they might be, you would expect under these conditions to be taking a cuppa and a buttered crumpet back to bed for another glorious hour under the doona. Wrong. Noosa Healthy Meetup Group has more than 350 members of all ages (a concentration between 40 and 70, concedes founder and organiser Ronnie Porter) who walk, swim, cycle, kayak and stand up paddle in groups all year round, when they’re not enjoying meditation, yoga and healthy meals together. It looks like it might rain, but Ronnie’s our guide this morning and she says it won’t, so right, listen up, fast pace, slow pace, doesn’t matter, we’ll have someone front and back so you won’t get lost, let’s discover secret Noosaville! So, it’s a brisk walk if you want, a leisurely amble if you don’t, and plenty of chats along the way. In truth, I like to reflect while I ramble, so this kind of group therapy is not really my cup of chai, but soon enough I find myself engaged in some fascinating conversations with all kinds of people from all walks of life, united perhaps only in this one purpose - enjoying the beauty of Noosa while forming friendships. Against the grain, I actually find that I’m enjoying the banter as much as the exercise. And suddenly here we are at secret Noosaville! Well, actually it’s just Noosa Waters but there are quite a few in the group who are discovering the tranquil parklands that border the estate for the first time. As our walk concludes, the sun breaks through and the river glistens while some head off for work and others without such concerns repair for restorative coffee. I seize the moment and grab founder Ronnie before she heads off to organise the next Meetup.

Vinnies still here to care By Abbey Cannan In a crazy year where it is normal to keep at a long arm’s length from others, some things remain the same. The St Vincent de Paul Society which runs the affectionately known “Vinnies” Op Shop, is still reaching out to those in need. President of the Noosa-Tewantin branch of the Society, Beryl Rowan, is keen for people to know that while the Society’s Family Support Centre in Eumundi Rd, Noosaville, is closed temporarily, the work of the Centre that supports the needy, lonely and isolated carries on. “The pandemic offers us a new way to reach out to people and delivering a lot of food parcels means we are getting to know the area much better,” Beryl said. Instead of seeing people at the support centre, Vincentians are keeping touch with them by phone and arranging meetings in the open air. They are not only helping those affected by the lockdown and loss of jobs, but also offer continued support for families, individuals and the homeless. “Outreach and advocacy are important parts of what we do; many people feel isolated and we keep in contact with them,” Beryl said. “Others need advice and we offer help to anybody who is struggling to deal with issues of electricity, housing or insurance. We can also help with form filling.” Vincentians at the Family Support Centre know of various local resources and can refer people to appropriate services as well as arrange help with money matters and housing options. They also offer help with child and adult education for those on low income who qualify. “Your way out of poverty and into employment may be to do a course in aged care or forklift driving but the cost has stopped you.
Beryl Rowan giving food parcels to two young people who are currently out of work and living in a car. Apply to us and we may be able to help,” Beryl said. St Vincent de Paul Society also supports the Hub - a one-stop shop for the homeless and needy on the coast. The Hub operates from Tait-Duke Cottage,
Earl St, Tewantin, on alternate Tuesdays from 10 to 12.30 and includes a medical service, housing advice, Services Australia (previously Centrelink), the Red Cross and other providers. If you would like to be a part of assisting those who need a hand up, there are several
ways you can help. Food or financial donations are always welcome. You could also volunteer to work in the Vinnies Op Shop in Eumundi Rd, which helps fund the work of the St Vincent DePaul Family Support Centre.

When pain’s a constant By Margaret Maccoll Playing sport and studying long hours Sunshine Coast landscape architect Rebecca McDonald just thought her lethargy and aches were the result of overdoing it so a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 23 was “absolutely devastating”. Rebecca said at one point her condition was so debilitating she relied on friends to cook her meals. She had wrist braces, ergonomic chairs, was using a shower chair to wash and while living in a two-storey house, was sleeping on the couch downstairs, unable to climb the steps. She was determined her illness wasn’t going to stop her from working or playing netball which she loves and she is now learning to manager her condition and chronic pain and work full-time.“My GP made a big difference from the beginning,” she said. “She believed what I was going through.” Rebecca got a medical team in place that included a rheumatologist, physiotherapist, personal trainer, a dietician who helped her with an anti-inflammatory diet and is planning to visit a pain psychologist. The National Pain Survey 2020 results reported a worsening in relationships between people in chronic pain and their GPs and pharmacists.The annual survey conducted by Chronic Pain Australia, the grassroots voice of Australians living with chronic pain, involved 1200 people from across the country and was released to mark National Pain Week from 27 July-2 August. When asked to rate how people felt their GP was managing their pain the average score was 5 out of 10 and when asked to rate their pharmacist’s performance managing their pain, the average was 4 out of 10. In 2019 the average response to these questions was 8 out of 10.“It easily demonstrates that health care professionals need to improve their approach towards how pain is managed in Australia and importantly, how people in pain are treated,” said Chronic Pain Australia president Jarrod McMaugh, who is also a pharmacist. Chronic Pain Australia executive director Akii Ngo said living with chronic pain can be one of the most debilitating and hopeless things anyone can experience. “As someone who has lived with it for as long as I can remember, sometimes so severe and so agonising that I’ve been hospitalised for weeks or months at a time, it can be extremely isolating and terrifying, especially without the support of good doctors and health professionals who understand, believe you and want to help. A dedicated doctor can truly make all the difference to your quality of life and hopes for the future,” she said. People in pain reported through the survey that they often felt unheard, not believed, and generally stigmatised when they visited their GP and pharmacist. Being suspected of being a drug seeker was very commonly reported and likely has contributed to the poorer relationships between people living in pain, GPs and pharmacists. Chronic pain affects more than 3.2 million Australians of all ages and is one of the fastest growing medical conditions.Pharmacist
Rebecca McDonald is tackling life with chronic pain. Kate Gill has had chronic pain for the past 10 years following an appendicectomy. Every six or seven months she has a nerve near her scar cauterised which helps relieve the pain until it regrows. Kate said having chronic pain had changed the way she interacted with her customers and she now took the time to discuss treatment options with them. “I’m less judgemental. I spend a lot more time with them,” she said.“I think a lot of pharmacists do try their best but there’s not always that compassion there.” She said pharmacists also have a legal ob-
ligation to ensure drugs are legitimately prescribed.Mr McMaugh said the extra pressure and challenges Covid-19 placed on health care professionals had brought positives and negatives. “It has been difficult accessing the medical professionals they are used to seeing face-toface, but the majority are happy with telehealth options,” he said. It has prevented many from accessing self-management options such as hydrotherapy, massage, swimming pools and gyms but many respondents reported benefits from selling-isolation and working at home ar-
rangements due to the respite it has given their bodies as the pace of life has slowed. Chronic Pain Australia is encouraging all Australians to learn about pain, how to manage it, as well as better understand what it is like to live with chronic pain. They have launched a video series called Faces of Pain, which tells the stories of everyday Australians living with chronic pain and a booklet titled ‘Understanding chronic pain’ to explain what pain is and how best to manage it. The National Pain Survey results are available at www.nationalpainweek.org.au.

More grants up for community groups Local community organisations now have the chance to give their projects a real boost, as Council opens the latest round of Community Grants. In a sign of the current times, these grants will now also assist projects that include Covid-19 recovery initiatives. Community Development Manager Alison Hamblin said these grants couldn’t be more timely. “This Community Projects Grant provides a great opportunity to support local organisations that have events, programs or infrastructure projects in the pipeline or on the go. “Given the current climate, funding will be prioritised for those projects which support either the organisation or the community in the COVID-19 recovery process.” Community projects may include, but are not restricted to events or festivals, programs, and building, maintenance or infrastructure projects. Kerri Watson from Noosa Community Gardens said their successful grant funding in last year’s round made a huge difference to their gardens and to community members’ morale. “Being successful in getting that grant funding made a huge impact to the garden because it enabled us to put in place the infrastructure that we needed, such as replacing the old garden beds, and it has really transformed the garden. “It’s not only provided that capital boost of $4000 but it has renewed people’s enthusiasm for becoming involved in the gardens and it’s created a real comradery, which is fabulous.”
Kerri Watson of Noosa Community Gardens The Noosa Council Community Development team will host two online Q&A Zoom sessions on 30 July to answer any general grant-related questions. “These online Q&A sessions will replace the regular Grants, Nibble and Network Nights
that we usually host, but have postponed due to restrictions. The Community Project Grant closes at noon on 27 August. To register for the online Q&A Grants sessions, visit www.noosa.qld.gov. au/community/grants/council-grants
Terrace out for blacktop Motorists travelling along Hilton Terrace should prepare for slightly longer delays, from Wednesday, as the final stage of work on the $3M road upgrade begins. “We’ll be carrying out asphalt works through the new roundabout on Wednesday and Thursday this week, but it will be during the night to reduce the impact on the community,” Council’s Project Officer, Cody Johnston, said. “Asphalt works will continue on Monday and Tuesday of next week during the day along Hilton Terrace so there may be some longer delays while the contractors complete the job.” Mr Johnston urged motorists to allow extra travel time. “We’ve really appreciated the community’s patience while this major road upgrade project has been under way, and now we’re on the home stretch the traffic disruption won’t be for much longer. “Laying the new road surface is the final stage of major work, and it will complete the construction of the new roundabout at the Hilton Terrace/Ernest Street intersection.” Contractors will need to close one lane while the asphalt work is underway, with traffic controllers to manage traffic flow in each direction. Council reminds motorists to observe the signs and adhere to the reduced speed limits through the roadwork zone. Once it’s complete, the new roundabout will improve safety while helping to keep traffic flowing through the intersection, even during peak times. The Hilton Terrace/Ernest Street intersection is one of the busiest in the shire.

Trails off limits due to harvest Trails seven and eight of the Noosa Trail Network are closed to public access to allow for plantation harvesting in the Yurol-Ringtail Forests. Council’s Principal Environment Officer, Peter Milne, said signs were in place to remind bushwalkers and other forest users to stay clear of the harvesting areas. “Unfortunately, a number of people have entered these areas, despite the warning signs. It’s putting their safety and that of the forestry workers at risk,” he said. “It’s very important that people comply with the warning signs and avoid the areas that are closed for harvesting.” Mr Milne said plantation timber had to be removed to allow native vegetation to naturally regenerate. It’s part of the broader Yurol-Ringtail State Forests Conservation Project. In some areas, additional native trees will be planted to assist in restoration of natural vegetation. “Queensland Koala Crusaders and Noosa & District Landcare have already held a community tree planting day to kick-start revegetation at Ringtail State Forest,” Mr Milne said. “But until harvesting is complete, all forest users must be aware of closures, observe the signage regarding trail closures, and check Council’s website for further details.”
Noosa turned on a magnificent day on Monday to welcome Today Show weatherman Tim Davies as he filmed the weather live to the show from beautiful Main Beach. It was the first visit to Noosa for Tim who met with a few locals on the beach, even striking some yoga moves with Evie Plasier. Locals turned out to welcome the show including Aloha Active Noosa Yoga instructor Jackie Harris who took a class on the beach attended by students from primary school age to seniors. “We got a call from Tourism Noosa,” Michael Bowers from Aloha Active Noosa Yoga said. “Our community sprung into action. We had Cafe Le Monde put coffee on. “The surf club did a sausage sizzle. There were personal fitness classes and yoga classes. “You couldn’t have had a better day to showcase Noosa.”

Gearing up for bike safety Research is now underway at USC that could lead to a much better understanding of the risks facing cyclists on our roads and what’s required to improve their safety. Lead researcher Professor of Human Factors Paul Salmon said a new approach was needed because collisions between cars and cyclists remained a persistent road safety issue in Australia and worldwide. “Research has shown that cyclists can be up to 12 times more at risk of death than car drivers and, in Australia specifically, cyclists make up one in five of all people injured on our roads,” he said. “Despite significant progress in enhancing cyclist safety, vehicle-cyclist collisions remain poorly understood, partly because there is no valid and easily accessible cyclist incident reporting and learning system in Australia.” Professor Salmon and fellow USC academics Dr Scott McLean and Dr Adam Hulme plan to develop, trial and implement a new online cyclist incident reporting and learning system - the Cyclists Report of Incidents Tool (CRIT). This will then be used in a 12-month study of cyclist crashes and near misses to provide a better understanding of why these incidents occurred. “The CRIT will enable reporting and analysis of cyclist collisions and near miss incidents and, in turn, enhance our understanding of the contributory factors involved in cyclist collisions,” he said. “This enhanced knowledge will support the development of new interventions designed to enhance cyclist safety and behaviour.” The $153,000 research project is supported by a $99,489 grant from the Australian Government’s Road Safety Innovation Fund. Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace, who is a keen cyclist, congratulated the USC researchers on gaining Government funding for this important project.
Professor Paul Salmon and fellow USC academics plan to develop a new online cyclist incident reporting and learning system. “There were 104 applications for funding under this program, and USC’s project was one of only 13 that were successful,” he said. “That’s because this research represents the very first attempt worldwide to develop a way to report these dangerous incidents and learn from them online using the most up to date knowledge
about how and why accidents happen. “We know the life-changing consequences that come from accidents involving cyclists, and anyone who regularly gets on a bike knows what it is like to have a near miss. “This project is going to make a difference to understanding why these accidents hap-
pen, and how we can stop them happening in the future.” Mr Wallace said the Road Safety Innovation Fund was one of many ways the Australian Government was investing in road safety, with information on other initiatives available at www.officeofroadsafety.gov.au

ers and parents as critical partners in their child’s schooling,” Mr Robertson said. “Maintaining learning outside the physical school environment forced rapid change, including to the ways schools and parents traditionally interact. In doing so parents and teachers developed a new-found appreciation for each other’s roles,” he said. Mr Robertson said the webinar was part of a broader joint project by ISQ and the Queensland Independent Schools Parents Network (QIS Parents Network) to support community and parent engagement in inde-
pendent schools and the second event with Griffith University. Griffith University Bachelor of Education Program Director Dr Linda Willis said the home learning period elevated parent engagement to the forefront of school thinking and considerations. “Not only did it put the engagement of parents in their child’s learning centre stage, but also the important role technology can play in bringing them together in new, positive and parent-friendly ways,” Dr Willis said.
Boat deaths alarming Queensland recorded an alarming increase in recreational boating deaths in 2019, sparking calls for an increased focus on water safety. Eighteen people died in Queensland waters last year in reported marine incidents. Of the 14 who drowned or went missing, only one was known to be wearing a lifejacket. Maritime Safety Queensland received 332 marine incident reports in 2019. The reported incidents involved 412 Queensland registered recreational vessels and 31 Queensland registered commercial vessels resulting in 109 injuries, including 37 people who were admitted to hospital. The most commonly reported incidents were collisions between ships, collisions with objects, groundings and capsizes. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said the findings of the 2019 Marine Incident Report to be released today marked a grim milestone for the state. “Last year was the worst in Queensland for decades, in terms of the number of lives lost on the water,” Mr Bailey said. “One particularly tragic event saw a group of five family members and friends lost at sea in the Torres Strait. “The number of reported marine incidents and hospitalisations last year was slightly down on the previous year, but sadly, there were four serious incidents that claimed multiple lives. “Human factors were the significant contributor to most of these incidents, which frequently happened on smooth water, with good visibility in clear weather.” Mr Bailey said the report showed boat users needed to pay more attention to safety messages and commit to routine use of lifejackets. “Of the 113 people who have drowned during marine incidents in Queensland over the past 20 years, only five were known to have been wearing a lifejacket,” he said.

Lessons from the Covid-19 home learning period for school-family relationships and parent engagement headlined a webinar featuring Queensland independent schools and leading academics on Monday. When learning moved from the classroom to the dining room for the majority of Queensland students for part of Term 2, many parents and carers became engaged in their child’s education like never before. From weekly check-in calls to families, to virtual parent-teacher interviews, online community wellbeing hubs and virtual cross-country events involving entire school communities, independent schools and their families re-imagined how to connect and interact. Two Queensland independent schools - St Andrew’s Anglican College at Peregian Springs and Concordia Lutheran College in Toowoomba - shared their experiences and lessons from the home learning period during a webinar facilitated by leading Griffith University-based researchers on parent engagement, Dr Linda Willis and Professor Beryl Exley. Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ) executive director David Robertson said more than 50 years of research proved students do better academically, socially and emotionally when their teachers and parents partner to support their learning. “The Covid-19 home learning period cemented the value of education as a national priority, teachers as frontline essential work-

Clearing the air over Covid By Abbey Cannan Due to the risk of airborne viruses such as Covid-19, a Noosa dentist has recently invested in negative pressure rooms to keep their patients safe. Townsend Family Dental Care principal dentist and owner Dr Richard Townsend said they endeavoured to keep up to date with the latest dental technology and hygiene for the benefit of patients. “Dental procedures involving drills and scalers produce aerosols containing the patient’s saliva, these aerosols can stay in the air for up to four hours,” he said. “Negative pressure rooms provide strong ceiling ventilation/suction to change the air in the room up to 30 times an hour resulting in a much safer environment for our patients and dental team, extracting all residual aerosol. “Combined with stringent PPE and cleaning protocols we can provide you with the safest environment to maintain your dental health in these stressful times.” During Dental Health Week in August, Dr Townsend said there were some important steps to take in preventing gum disease. “Brushing your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to help strengthen enamel, for at least two minutes each time,” he said. “Choosing a low sugar diet and rinsing your mouth with water after eating sugary foods always helps. “Flossing once a day to clean the sides of
your teeth that your toothbrush cannot reach. “Using a smaller toothbrush head, making it easier to brush those hard to reach places.” Other oral health tips included replacing your toothbrush every three months and cleaning your tongue to prevent plaque buildup. “We have a wonderful team at Townsend Family Dental including our friendly reception, nurses and dentists, Dr Hamish Caithness, Dr Andrew Tran, Dr Sarah Higham (our sedation dentist) and Vivienne Cunningham (our therapist/hygienist),” Dr Townsend said. “To receive excellence in dental care for all, reserve your appointment on 54498619.”

Focus on DENTAL WEEK
A sugar hit in shopping By Abbey Cannan During Dental Health Week in August, a Noosa business will be teaching the community exactly how much sugar is hiding away in their trolleys. Gentle Dental Noosa Civic will be in the Little Community Space (next to Woolworths) giving a free presentation for both kids and adults on Wednesday 5 and Thursday 6 August from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. Surgery manager Jo Goldsworthy said Dental Health Week was a fabulous initiative raising awareness about the importance of preventative dental services. “It’s teaching people that prevention is the best method for ensuring you have healthy teeth throughout your life,” she said. “This is especially important when talking about getting children into the right oral health practises. “If kids get off on the right foot, it’s getting them into the habit of maintaining good oral health throughout their lives.“ Jo said this Dental Health Week they were focusing on raising awareness to the hidden sugars that are in our shopping trolleys. “Everyone’s aware that there is sugar in things like chocolate and orange juice but some people aren’t aware of the sugars in things like muesli bars and common children’s snacks,“ she said. “So that’s why we wanted to do the stall where we’ll be showing parents and kids particular foods and their sugar contents. “I think it’s really important, especially in
children’s softer teeth which are more prone to tooth decay.” Jo said they were grateful for the community’s support after recently opening their new surgery next to Suncorp Bank in Noosa Civic Shopping Centre. “We’ve been very lucky to have received tremendous support from the community since we opened,“ she said. “Obviously opening our new surgery during the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve had our challenges, but we’ve adapted well.” Jo said she believed services had boomed
since people were no longer able to travel overseas for medical trips. “I think it’s relatively busy for this time of the year, but we’re also mindful of what’s due to happen in September, and it just sort of depends on how things go with Job Keeper,“ she said. “The dental industry has been pretty lucky when you compare it to the hospitality and other entertainment industries.” For more information on Gentle Dental’s stall during Dental Health Week, visit www. gentledentalnoosacivic.com.au

Timeless Arthurian legend spun again Cursed, Netflix Just how many times can the Arthurian legend be remade for television and movies? Well how long is a piece of string? This time around the tale is told through the eyes of Nimue (pronounced Nimway). Often also called Viviane, she is the Lady of The Lake in the legends and sometimes the mother of Sir Lancelot. This time around Nimue (played by Australian Katherine Langdon) is a kick-arse teenaged heroine with a mysterious gift (and vines that grow on her face when she’s riled up). She is believed to cursed by the people of her village after being attacked by a demon as a small child and surviving. Nimue is part of the magical people the Fay - slowly but surely being killed out by the Red Paladins (who look suspiciously like Christian monks) and their King Uther. When her mother is killed during a raid our young heroine is assigned the task of getting an important and ancient sword to Merlin (Gustaf Skarsgard - who seems to be pretty much playing his Viking character Floki again). She is joined on her journey by a young mercenary called Arthur (Devon Terrell). Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Tom Wheeler and Frank Miller, who
Australian actress Katherine Langdon. also adapted it for the screen, Cursed features plenty of graphic images interspersed with the action and although a bit confusing and slow

Drama comes to Seven Between Two Worlds, Sundays, Seven/Prime, 8.30pm Australian television guru Bevan Lee (A Place To Call Home, Always Greener) has always been the master of great open honest family drama with a twist of humour. But this time around his creation Channel Seven’s new Between Two Worlds is something different - high concept melodrama. Focused on two seemingly very different families - the Sydney-based Walfords headed up by vicious business tycoon husband Phillip Walford (Philip Quast) and the Greys of Melbourne headed up by Sophia Grey (Sara Wiseman). A tragedy slowly but surely brings the two worlds together in a show full of flashbacks and slowly unwinding revelations. The first episode feels highly stylized, sparse in it’s story telling - the Walfords’ world - Phillip, his wife Cate Walford (Hermione Norris - Cold Feet) and son Bart Walford (Tom Dalzell) - is shot very much in black and white. The Greys’ Sophia and her children Bella (Megan Hajjar) and Danny (Alex Cubis) are shot more in colour. The dialogue is clipped, delivered in short sharp bursts. Although as it goes along the colour starts become brighter and the bursts of dialogue a little longer though still a little oddly robotic. The MVPs are the side characters - Victorian football coach David (Aaron Jeffery) and Phillip’s nurse Sandra (Blazey Best) both warm, funny and engaging and somehow bringing a humanising element to the show. - Tania Phillips

The Old Guard excites The Old Guard Starring Charlize Theron, Matthias Schoenaerts and KiKi Layne Rated MA15+
Mark Seymour and Teh Undertow - performed live on the firt episode of The Sound.
Lifeline for the music Aussie industry The Sound, ABCTV, Sunday, 5.30pm Remember when Sunday evenings on ABCTV meant one thing and one thing only Countdown. The monolithic music show that brought Australian music to the record-buying public across the country and furthered the career of many a wannabe rock star. With going to gigs off the table in most regions at the moment ABC - with a lot of help from Mushroom Vision are bringing The Sound. Hosted by Jane Gazzo, Zan Rowe with a guest host (first week it was Bryan Brown). 22 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 31 July, 2020
And how nice was it to have music back after so long - unlike Countdown which had international acts this is all Aussies and Kiwis but like that legendary show it is a mix of clips and live (crowdless of course) performances, short interviews, as well as a classic (from the Vault) clip and a tribute to an iconic Aussie Track. Fittingly the tribute in episode one was Mental As Anything’s Live it up, dedicated to the late great Mental As Anything, and featured Men At Work’s Colin Hay and a whole slew of newer local talent. It was great to see new young performers
and old stagers like Mark Seymour back to back. Actually it was just great to see Aussie music on television again, to actually see what is out there. That’s what I really miss the most - being able to keep up with the music scene, hearing new music from new artists and old favourites. It is currently only slated for six episodes but hopefully it will be embraced by audiences and television executives alike. In the words of the legendary Countdown host Molly Meldrum - do yourself a favour. - Tania Phillips
Based on the comic book series by Greg Rucka, The Old Guard follows a team of invincible warriors as a ruthless pharmaceutical corporation seeks to steal their regenerative ability, and has fantastic character depth driving its action thrills. The fast-paced, streamlined plot explores themes of loss, regret and brotherhood. Charlize Theron is a compelling lead as Andy, the team’s stoic millennia-old leader and an immortal tired of life. The performances feel very natural, and the film has morally-grey villains and intriguing dashes of lore. Nile (KiKi Layne), the team’s latest recruit, undergoes a fascinating character arc, as she adapts to her immortality and her fear and suspicion evolve into intense loyalty to her new friends. Luca Marinelli and Marwan Kenzari provide some touching levity as a couple who met on opposing sides during the Crusades but are now passionately in love. The gruesome action scenes are quick-cut and frenetic but well-shot and easy to follow. While the warriors can shrug off fatal injuries, the film maintains strong suspense through their internal struggles and the cruel, efficient organisation hunting them, and the revelation that their invincibility eventually wears out adds a further layer of risk to the battles. The Old Guard is a remarkably polished supernatural thriller full of heart, and is available for streaming on Netflix. - Seth Lukas Hynes

SEAL OF APPROVAL $3.1M roads program to focus on hinterland About 11 kilometres of roads will get a makeover in the next 12 months, as part of a $3.1 million reseal program, signed of by Council. Eighty-ive per cent of the work will happen in the hinterland, with Cooran and Cooroy set to see a large slice of the action. Asset Planning Manager Bryan O’Connor said over 30 projects are on the radar. “This work will restore and improve the safety on some highly used roads in the shire,” he said. “Resealing remains the most economical and
Scott Anderson, Alex Neville and Steven Deschamp of Council’s Infrastructure Services team are ready to roll out this year’s$3.1M road reseal program.
TURNING THE TIDE Noosa Spit erosion ix aims to restore dog beach and maintain central channel at river mouth Council has set aside $300,000 this year to design, and start work on, a solution to the erosion issues at Noosa Spit. Project Coordinator Daniel Wishaw said the modelling carried out last year would inform the design process. “Expert consultants have analysed the coastal dynamic of the entire lower Noosa estuary, all the way back up to the ferry crossing. They’ve also
reviewed historical data on the river’s movement. This is necessary to ensure that anything we implement at the Spit doesn’t adversely impact other areas,” he said. Mr Wishaw said the ix would focus on maintaining a central channel through the river mouth. “Building the dog beach back up and linking it to the central sand island will help reinforce the central channel and alleviate pressure on the beach.”
efective way to protect the shire’s road network. “It’s primarily replacing the deteriorating part of the road and waterprooing the surface to protect the pavement and maintain the life of the asset,” Mr O’Connor said.

due to water damage and sanding and re-sealing of the entire inside looring.
One of the bigest jobs is asphalt resealing a large section of Maple Street in Cooroy from Overlander Avenue to Mary River Road.
The lower level decking timber has been replaced with beautiful non-slip spotted gum hardwood, much needed due to white ant and water damage.
While we wait for more easing of restrictions before full theatre shows can start, The J is now taking bookings for its meeting rooms and smaller events in the theatre.
Emerald St also gets improvement work as part of the project. Over two kilometres of Junction Road at Cootharaba is on the list and much needed work on Memorial Avenue in Tewantin.
An automatic lift to the theatre’s loading dock has been installed, additional storage has been created under the ramp, looring in the upper foyer replaced
The J is also set to gain new seating. The $100,000 project is provided as part of $4 million funding Council has received from the state government.
“We certainly aim to have much of the work completed before the new year,” Mr O’Connor said.

million from the State Government.
IMPROVEMENTS ON THE WAY FOR EIGHT FOOTPATHS
United Synergies General Manager, Homelessness, Darce Foley, said the laundry and showers were in demand and needed a revamp.
It’s going to be easier for pedestrians and cyclists to get around, thanks to a series of pathway projects.
“We’ve really noticed that people who are experiencing hardship and are strugling to pay their electricity and water bills are using our services just to try to alleviate some of that pressure,” he said.
Council plans to improve up to eight pathways this year and install better lighting along the Noosa Main Beach boardwalk.
New facilities to help Noosa locals who are doing it tough Those in need will soon have access to fresh new laundry and shower facilities in Noosa.
The irst Councillor Community Chat session will be held today, 10am to 11.30am. Mayor Clare Stewart and Cr Frank Wilkie will be at Mountain Stop Café, Reserve St Pomona. Meet Cr Brian Stockwell at Cooroy RSL Café, while Cr Amelia Lorentson and Cr Joe Jurisevic will be at FOMO, Duke Street Sunshine Beach. Come along and have a chat.
“Our shower, in particular, is really starting to run down and wear out so we’re really grateful for the Council grant to be able to upgrade those facilities.” A major upgrade of the Pomona Memorial School of Arts Hall amenities is also set to kick of. The funding is an initiative of the Queensland Government. To contact United Synergies, call 5442 4277. Darce Foley, of United Synergies, has welcomed the funding to upgrade the laundry and shower facilities for use by the community.
“It’s all about improving the accessibility and safety for residents,” Ed Hamill, Works Coordinator said. The current lights are past their useful life, and will be replaced with new energy eicient, LED lights to provide a greater lighting spread and handle harsher weather. Eumundi Noosa Road, Paciic Avenue at Sunshine Beach and Cooroy’s Myall Street are among those set for footpath improvements. 12455902-CG31-20

Does anyone really have a mandate? At July’s special meeting of Noosa Council a rare cry claiming a ‘mandate’ was heard. Rare for Noosa, but it had an important Federal ring. So one can presume some political advantage was sought. A political mandate occurs when a candidate promises voters that, if elected, they will undertake certain commitments and that - being duly elected - they are authorised to honour those promises. So let’s see how that worked in Noosa in mid-July. By claiming a mandate and some dubious arithmetic, a Noosa councillor was in effect using the number of votes he and three others received to insist all his colleagues should honour the ‘mandate’. It’s a kind of “mine is bigger than yours, so I win” brag. But, if you accept this numerical benchmark as valid (which I don’t), it could be argued that there is only one councillor with a true mandate - and that is the mayor. After all, in a two-horse race mayor Clare Stewart’s 15,080 votes put her on top. In the councillor election with an enormous field of 20 candidates, even the deputy mayor Frank Wilkie did well to finish in the lead with only 13,940 votes (out of 27,991 formal ballots). So no contender other than Mayor Clare could use the number of votes cast their way to claim a mandate that their policies should be given effect. On this basis, Mayor Clare had a mandate when she voted against the Noosa Plan (on the short stay accommodation issue) and against the Oyster Reef project plan (because of the lack of good data). But the mayor made no such claim. In taking her stand, Mayor Clare was simply voting in line with her campaign commitments and was true to the large number of Noosa residents who elected her. But she did not claim a mandate. And was not given one either, as she was on the losing side in both these votes. At the meeting, Cr Amelia Lorentson said her vote in council was true to her campaign promise on short term accommodation and the 10,600 [sic] residents who voted for her. Cr Brian Stockwell then decided to trump this by claiming a mandate by adding together the votes received by the four councillors who were in favour of the Noosa Plan making short term accommodation inconsistent at residential houses. They had 49,000 votes, Cr Stockwell said. But now things were just getting plain silly. That was not 49,000 voters. There are not even 49,000 voters in the shire and, as each voter had to choose six candidates, the same persons may have voted for all four. In any event, no one asked why precisely these voters voted the way they did. Had she wanted to employ the mandate as a political weapon, Mayor Clare did have the numbers, but she was too smart to use such a dubious tactic. It’s time the notion of mandate was restricted to referendum questions which do ask individual voters their preferences on particular issues.

has shown a complete lack of logic, in claiming firstly, that by not allowing open slather on STAs, this would drive up house prices. Why? Surely house prices would increase if people could get a higher income from their property? Piggybacking on this idea, she added that not allowing more STAs would mean less affordable housing for people who are renting. Again, this does not make sense. People are allowed to provide STA inside their homes, but using detached dwellings for STAs will be limited. Surely that means that these granny flats and similar dwellings would therefore be available for more permanent rental, making more affordable accomodation available for people working here. The government has sensibly asked for a two-year period to monitor STAs. Why is Cr Stewart opposed to this? Instead she wants to rush changes immediately. It was fortunate that in the same issue, Cr Frank Wilkie gave a broad overview of what the Noosa Plan is really about, showing that it has been thoroughly researched, to give maximum benefit to our shire. Crs Stewart and Lorentsen both need to broaden their focus, to the greatest benefit for the greatest number, rather than pushing the barrow of a limited few. Joy Ringrose Pomona
No real solution Last week: Lots of self congratulatory back slapping over the new Noosa plan and lots
of talk about solving the problems caused by “STA”s such as Air bnb. But no really effective solution was presented. Why would STA owners, who may only rent to people who are not causing issues, be singled out while other people may have regular noisy parties? The solution is a noise complaint hotline regardless of whether the affected property is an STA or who is renting it. Yes, there would be some work to do to get this legally sorted since at the moment the police do this job, with their wonderful response time of about two hours. Most reassuring as you wait, not sleeping, until after midnight for them to possibly turn up and interview you! A system that actually works, and quickly, will remove the need for all this STA nonsense. It may also work wonders for the dog noise complaints you presented impressive statistics on. On the spot fines via mobile credit card machines may slow up the noise makers. Consequences? So Noosa will become known as “not the place to go for an air bnb holiday party”. So? Priority obviously goes to residents, not to opportunistic Air bnb hosts if they can’t maintain a reasonable level of behaviour in their guests. If they can, then no problem and those doing it in the low density areas or any area for that matter can continue doing so. The current set up doesn’t protect neighbours in any other area other than low density either. John W, Doonan

On The Soapbox Phil Jarratt PHIL JARRATT asks why some drink-drivers are photographically shamed in the media and not others.
Named, shamed and shown At the beginning of July a local media organisation “named and shamed” four people who had recently been convicted in Noosa Magistrates Court of various charges related to drink driving. “From drink-driving with kids in the car to breaking into a vehicle for $8, it’s good to know these people are off Noosa’s roads for a while”, was the click-baity introduction. Nothing new in that. Naming and shaming has been a media staple, beaten up in some organisations more than others, for decades, with reporters generally picking up the shaming list from court officials at the end of the day so they might avoid the endless repetition of court procedure. The list of names and offence details would then be published in its entirety. Says media veteran Peter Owen (now this paper’s golf columnist): “It was always all or nothing, the only way you could approach it.” But what is relatively new is the new and selective level of shaming employed by some digital news platforms through “borrowing” photos from social media accounts so they can shame by sight. In this, the selection process seems to be more related to youth and attractiveness than to the severity of the crime. Put it this way: if you’re a middle-aged businessman who blew a biggie, it seems you’re less likely to see your wrinkled prune on display than, say, a wild young thing or a young mum behaving badly. And, of course, if you don’t have a social media profile, there will most likely be no photo for the media to “borrow”. So it was that on 7 July two local women, aged 36 and 20, found themselves named, shamed and pictured in an on-line newspaper, while another woman (whose blood-alcohol reading was the highest of the group) and a man both avoided photographic identification. The best that could be said about the 36-year-old who committed the high-range offence while driving with her two children in the car is that she was foolish and irresponsible, and the 20-year-old was a repeat offender arrested after a police pursuit. They were not little angels and they deserved to have the book thrown at them. But did they deserve to be selected for public pictorial humiliation? And who makes such determinations? Back in the late 1970s Peter Owen was editor of the Queensland Times in Ipswich. He recalls: “I started running the names of drink drivers because I thought it might be an effective deterrent. Back then, the road toll was much higher than it is now, and drink-drivers hated the thought of their name appearing in the paper. Our commitment was to run the name, fine and reading of every convicted drink-driver - even, I’m ashamed to record, my own name when I was picked up one night with a .09 reading. The police and court offi-
On the job. cials were very keen to cooperate as they, too, considered it to be a deterrent.” (And a disclosure here: this writer has also been before the local court on a drink-driving charge, and although he may well have deserved shaming, received none. He did, however, learn a lesson.) Peter Owen also takes responsibility for introducing the DUI shame file locally. He says: “When I got to the Sunshine Coast in 1990 I introduced the idea to the Sunshine Coast Daily. There was never a selection process involved - every conviction was recorded and I’m not aware that such a policy was ever changed. I reckon a system of selection would be unfair and open to all sorts of allegations of favouritism. Nor do I think there’s any useful purpose in running photos - from Face-
Picture: COURTESY QUEENSLAND POLICE SERVICE book, or anywhere else.” Although he would not be drawn into specific comment on media shaming, Noosa’s senior sergeant Ben Carroll told Noosa Today: “Making young people the media targets in relation to this is simply not in line with the facts. Noosa does have a very high level of drink-driving offences, but the majority are drawn from our older demographic and from older tourists. Younger people tend to be more aware of options like Uber when they have a night on the town.” The last word on shaming should go to one of the world’s leading experts, Professor John Braithwaite, founder of the School of Regulation and Global Governance at the Australian National University, who has been researching and writing about shaming and its societal im-
pact for more than 40 years. He told NT: “It’s very hard for any form of media shaming to be reintegrative (into society) because of the short grab character of all mass media - social, public or private. Yes, there are documentaries and opinion pieces that are exceptions, but even with the latter we know the evidence is that most people just read the heading and the first few paragraphs. That makes reintegration much harder than it is in a two-way or multi-way, face-to-face conversation. “Perhaps the best thing the media can contribute is to publicize rituals of reintegration. For example, at the site on an Indigenous massacre. Or a restorative justice conference outcome about apology and forgiveness for visual shaming in the media.”
Whale watching operators supported through Covid The State Government will waive the annual commercial whale watching fee as part of a support package for operators who have been affected by the global economic headwinds of Covid-19. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk made the announcement while in Hervey Bay - one of the world’s best destinations to go whale watching and the first ever World Whale Heritage Site, a recognition awarded for the region’s commitment to conservation and protection. “The tourism industry has been one of the hardest hit industries from the global pandemic here and around the world and that’s why we’ve made sure it’s been front and centre of Queensland’s recovery plan,” the Premier said. “Among other support measures for
Queensland’s tourism industry under the $6 billion Unite and Recover for Queensland Jobs plan which includes the ‘Queensland You’re Good to Go’ domestic marketing campaign, we’re also waiving this year’s commercial whale watching fee. “We know that every little bit helps
to keep businesses running and to keep Queenslanders in jobs so we’re waiving the annual commercial whale watching fee of $6,045 for local operators for the 2020 season. “That means the 18 operators across the state will save $110,000 which includes more than $91,000 for the 15 operators in the Great Sandy Marine Park. The Premier encouraged Queenslanders to make sure they included a whale watching experience on their next holiday. “July to November is the peak season for whale migration as humpbacks and their newborn calves travel along the Queensland coast on their annual 6,000-kilometre migration to and from the Antarctic,” the Premier said. “Last year more than 83,000 tourists enjoyed a commercial whale-watching trip to
see the humpback migration, so it’s an important tourism driver for our state. “When you back our tourism industry, you back jobs.” Fraser Coast Tourism & Events general manager, Martin Simons, said the Government’s decision was welcome. “This will give operators a positive boost as they worked hard to rebuild revenue lost during the COVID shutdown,” he said. Under the $6 billion Unite and Recover for Queensland Jobs plan, more than $80 million has been committed to the tourism industry to help businesses keep running and employees in jobs.

Noosa’s first council, 1910. James Duke centre, front row.
Picture: NOOSA HERITAGE LIBRARY
Origins of ‘bridge of sighs’ James Duke Bridge, Noosaville and Duke Road, Doonan James Duke gets a bridge and a dress circle hinterland road named after him largely owing to the fact that he became the first chairman of the newly-created Noosa Shire in 1910. Born in Liverpool, England, in 1841, Duke had worked his passage to Australia in 1863 as an able seaman on the Everton, but the ship was caught in a gale and wrecked on Moreton Island. Nothing about Duke’s subsequent life in what was to become Noosa Shire ever quite matched the excitement of his arrival, but he rose to the position of general manager at timber giant Dath Henderson and Co, owned the first building in Cooroy, raised a family in Tewantin and developed considerable landholdings in what is now known as Doonan. When elected chairman he was 69 years old (add 20 to that in today’s life spans), and he was seen as a caretaker with a safe pair of hands for the short time it would take to get the council on track. Noosa had been part of Gympie-based Widgee Shire since 1879 when the colonial Queensland government created 10 local government divisions, but by the new century talk of separating from Widgee was a constant around the gentlemen’s lounges of Tewantin, particularly at Dan Martin’s Tewantin Hotel, and within days of hosting Walter Hay’s wake in 1907, Martin, the Noosa representative on the Widgee board since 1895, found himself voted off, presumably in an attempt to quieten the separatists. It didn’t work. In November 1909 the Home Secretary’s Office served notice on the Widgee Shire Council that it intended to form the Shire of Noosa. The proclamation set forth “that the election shall be held at the Federal Hall, Cooran, on the 31st March, 1910”. There were 15 nominations for the nine councillors required, and with fewer than 700 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 31 July, 2020

ratepayers eligible to vote, the results were fast and decisive. At the first meeting of the Noosa Shire Council on May 11, 1910 (also held at the tiny Federal Hall, Cooran, to comply with the proclamation) the councillors elected James Duke as their founding chairman. The first major business of the new council was to divide the shire into divisions, and it was decided to create three divisions, with the roads leading into Cooroy, Pomona and Cooran forming the boundaries, with each division having three representatives. But if creating the divisions had seemed relatively simple
and pain-free, choosing the site for the council chambers was to be anything but. Cooran’s term as the seat of the shire was always meant to be temporary, but at the first council meeting its residents made sure it was one of four centres that vied for the permanent honour. Cooran, Tewantin, Cooroy and Pomona all nominated and Cooroy won the final vote and started hiring contractors and buying timber from the Cootharaba mill to build the shire chambers. But within a few months the decision had caused uproar throughout Noosa, with rep-
resentatives of the other divisions presenting a petition to the Home Secretary demanding that Pomona be selected because it was more central. In a referendum on March 11, 1911, Pomona pipped Cooroy by just 11 votes. As builders were sacked and timber sent back to the mills, Noosa Shire moved onto the more pressing but less entertaining business of the day. The Shire was broke. Discussing the issue of a new bridge for Cooran, shire clerk Edgar Edwards did not hold back: “The Financial aspect of this matter is enough to turn all the Councillors grey. The Council have nothing, absolutely nothing, if I want a piece of India rubber in the Office I have to go out and buy it, there is not a pick or a shovel belonging to them, there is all the initial expense of getting things, there is the problem of more miles of bad roads or worse than bad roads, no roads, to face, than I care to think of.” This was enough poppycock for old Jim Duke, who handed the robes to Frank Conroy, a sawyer who lived in a humpy near Cooran with neither power nor running water, and saw out his term on the back bench as a councillor. He died at Tewantin in 1921. READER REQUESTS This column makes no guarantees, but readers are welcome to enquire about the origins of their street names. We’ll do our best. Wantima Street, Noosa Heads Grant Linkhorn asked what we knew about Wantima. An easy one to start, thanks Grant. Wantima is the Kabi Kabi word given to the Noosa headland, meaning “rising up”, as it does, particularly when viewed from the campsites in the scrub along what is now Hastings Street, an area known to the Kabi as Gnuthera, meaning “shadow” or “shade of a tree”. The name Noosa is believed to be a corruption of Gnuthera.

Flexibility is the key As I put pen to paper, Covid-19 is at the forefront of many people’s minds as we watch with distress and concern about the evolving issues our southern neighbours are encountering. With this in mind, we must continue to be vigilant in our hand washing, our social distancing and maintaining Covid safe practices at all times. At a Council level, we have had to throw out the playbook, ensuring flexibility is key as we continue to support our residents, our businesses and our jobs. The formation of the Business Round Table has been crucial in our response and our engagement with business owners at a grass roots level. The 9-point recovery plan formulated from this round table and continued consultation and support for our business owners will be crucial in our economic recovery. Council staff have been working tirelessly to help our community organisations and not for profits through the pandemic via a range of measures. I must congratulate all the hard working volunteers from our sporting and community groups who have managed to get sporting activities up and running. Just this week, our local community organisations now have the chance to give their projects a real boost, as Council opens the latest round of Community Grants. In a sign of
Mayor Clare Stewart officiates at a citizenship ceremony earlier this month. the current times, these grants will now also assist projects that include COVID-19 recovery initiatives. The Community Project Grant closes at noon on 27 August and I really encourage groups to lodge their applications. The Noosa Town Plan will be gazetted at the end of the month and as part of the Minister’s conditions was to provide a Short Term Accommodation Guide. This will be available on Council’s website from 31 July. On Friday, Councillors kick off their first Community Coffee Chats. When the idea of a Community Hinterland Engagement Offi-
cer was flagged, all Councillors jumped at the chance to be involved and thought the whole Shire was the place to start. With the financial restrictions of covid-19 bearing down, Councillors are taking it upon themselves to bring Council to the community. The first of our monthly Councillor Community Chats kicks off this Friday at 10am in Cooroy, Pomona and Sunshine Beach. No need to RSVP, just remember social distancing as you chat one on one with your local councillors in a relaxed and informal setting. Further details are on Noosa Council Facebook page. Finally it was back to business at the Noosa Chamber of Commerce networking event last week. It was terrific to see so many business owners and operators in the same room once again. Being able to network is crucial for most businesses and it was tremendous to see such positivity in the room. The results of our business survey paint a grim picture but the one thing that stands out is that 80 per cent of our businesses remained open during the height of Covid. That demonstrates resilience, courage and a ‘can do’ attitude and I think it’s one that we as a community should be incredibly proud of. I know I certainly am proud of how our community has and continues to rally through an incredibly tough time. The notion of #weareallinthistogether has never rung more true. Until next month, stay safe.

Books put to public test A book by a USC History academic delving into the muddy waters of flooding in South East Queensland and a mystery novel by a USC graduate set in 1940s Brisbane are among eight books nominated for an annual statewide people’s choice award. Dr Margaret Cook, whose A River with a City Problem focuses on Brisbane’s destructive floods, and Dr Melanie Myers, who wrote Meet Me at Lennon’s for her USC Doctor of Creative Arts, are in the running for the $10,000 Courier-Mail People’s Choice Queensland Book of the Year. “I am very excited to have my book recognised for this award, particularly because it’s judged by public vote. It’s such a strong field of finalists,” said Dr Cook, who lives at Ipswich and works at USC Sunshine Coast. “The book, published by UQP, is about southeast Queensland flooding since 1893. It tells the stories of the people of Ipswich and Brisbane, revealing how these traumatic events affected their lives.
“I wrote it in the hope that we can learn from history and do all we can to reduce the devastation of floods in the future.” Dr Myers, who also previously taught at USC, won the emerging writer category of the Queensland Literary Awards in 2018 for the manuscript that became her historical novel, published by UQP last year. She said it amplified the voices of women who entertained American soldiers in Brisbane during World War II, with a plot focusing on a university student investigating the murder of a woman found on the banks of the Brisbane River. “It’s an honour and a thrill to be nominated for this award,” she said. “Meet Me at Lennon’s has sold beyond both my publisher’s and my own expectations and this is a reflection of that.” Voting for the award, via the State Library of Queensland website, will close on 17 August. The winner will be announced on 4 September.
USC Sunshine Coast Lecturer Dr Margaret Cook, of Ipswich, has been nominated for A River with a City Problem, which focuses on the history of southeast Queensland flooding, particularly Brisbane’s destructive 2011 floods.
Utopia Avenue’s on song By Annie Grossman of Annie’s Books on Peregian UTOPIA AVENUE by David Mitchell (Hachette $33) David Mitchell is a bestselling British author who has brought us such delights as CLOUD ATLAS and THE BONE CLOCKS. His novels are always large and consuming, and you can expect just a small touch of magic realism. UTOPIA AVENUE is the story of a band who emerges from London’s psychedelic scene in 1967 and blazes a journey to stardom. The action moves from the dingy London bars to the stadiums of America as the band rises in popularity, and during the course of this rise the reader encounters many of the great musical luminaries of the day who are cleverly woven into this fictional story. The musical references are authentic and the band’s story could be the story of many bands of the time. The crux of this novel is the power music has to connect us all, whether our dreams can actually be realized, and are these dreams really what we hoped for. Whilst reading this wonderful book , I found that the band members of Utopia Avenue walked with me through my days, and stayed with me until well after I had finished the book. This is a terrific read, particularly for music lovers. 32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 31 July, 2020

Grant supports export jobs A Sunshine Coast fingerlime orchard that lost its export and national markets to the Covid-19 pandemic is rebounding with a grant under Queensland’s economic recovery plan. Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner said Green Valley Fingerlimes successfully applied for a share of the State Government’s $500,000 Market Diversification and Resilience Grant Program. “Like other economies around the world, the Covid-19 pandemic hit Queensland businesses hard,” Mr Furner said. “We are continuing to manage the health response well and that means we can start to deliver Queensland’s plan for economic recovery. Mr Furner said the $7500 grant to buy vital new equipment will help Green Valley Fingerlimes, which employs two people and regular seasonal workers, to survive and thrive. “The grant will be used to buy a new blast chiller and freezer room, allowing the business to diversify from fresh only to frozen finger lime products for Australian and overseas markets. “Green Valley Fingerlimes is a prime example of a Queensland agribusiness building resilience and finding opportunity from adversity.” Company Director Jade King said the current season of at least two tonnes of finger-
Green Valley Fingerlimes. limes could have been lost without the new equipment to freeze the fruit. “With funding support from the Queensland Government, we can salvage some product, and also be able to look at selling frozen product into various export and national markets, for the first time,” Ms King said. “We’ve had to turn away enquiries for frozen fruit because we could only meet fresh market demand, so the freezers will give us the opportunity to break into new markets including Japan and the United States that only accept frozen product. “Diversifying our business operation through new product lines will make us more resilient to changing circumstances in the future.” Green Valley Fingerlimes exported fresh finger limes to Italy, Singapore and Hong Kong and supplied the domestic restaurant market, until the coronavirus pandemic struck.

Auditions are on 11th August at 6pm at Noosa Arts Theatre. ‘Flight of Fancy’ romantic comedy by Robert Selzer - directed by Sue Sewell. Two people are seated next to each other on an interstate flight - their minds or alter egos sit alongside, saying the sorts of things never uttered in polite conversation. The couple are initially attracted to each other until one of them discovers that the other took her sister to the cleaners in a divorce case and the other counters with an opinion that all romantic relationships are flawed and all lawyers do is clean up the mess. Their alter egos watch from the sidelines voicing their true thoughts and desires.

Take home ‘Crowlers’ from Eumundi Brews After requests from beer lovers keen to take home Eumundi Brewery seasonal craft beers, The Imperial Hotel Eumundi has come up with a solution with the introduction of take home ‘crowlers’. So what is a crowler? Essentially, a crowler is a giant, 946 ml or 32 oz aluminium can. Manager of The Imperial Hotel Paul Thomas said the crowlers will put a big smile on the dial of many customers. “Our two flagship beers - Eumundi Lager and Eumundi Pale Ale - are available for purchase in cartons, but until now there has been no way for customers to take home our limited release and seasonal beers,” he said. “The crowler changes that - enabling the small batch seasonal beers we brew on site to be canned and taken home. “The aluminium packaging of the crowler helps keep beers fresh and maintains the quality by creating an absolute barrier to light and oxygen - so when you get that crowler home, it will taste as our brewers intended - with the flavour profile intact. “We want our customers to be able to drink the beer in the exact manner that our brewers intended for us to drink it, and the crowlers are the answer.” Paul said a limited number of crowlers will be available each day in the current line-up of seasonal beers - Cannabock, Mojo Berry and Ginger Beer. “If there’s something you’re after in particular, best to phone us on 5442 8811 and preorder your crowler in your favourite seasonal beer,” Paul said.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review
A good, honest Thai feed Trevor Pepys reviews Thai Square, Noosaville It was a rare, rainy night in Noosaville, and, as he schlepped along the glistening pavement in the dark, Trevor burst into song, hoping to ward off the blues, not to mention the skateboard thugs who seemed to have been tailing him since Quamby Place. As he quickened the pace over the Jimmy Duke Bridge, the tune and the lyrics tumbled out: When you’re down and out When you’re on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you* And lo and behold, a distant but comforting beacon of light shone through the drizzle, and he followed it all the way to Thai Square, where pretty young wait-persons guided him to a corner table and set him up with a heater to dry his wet clothes. Trevor ordered a Tiger beer and a pinot gris chaser ($7) and scanned the menu (even though he was familiar enough with the place to order without looking) while he waited for his dining companions - the bride, of course, and the famous Sydney food critic, on her last night in town to finish their rampage along Hastings Street, buying expensive, and completely inedible, items of clothing. The first thing to say about the family-run Thai Square is that it has a very sensible name. Sure, Thai Me Kangaroo Down and Thai One On were funny the first time, but now that there’s a Thai on every suburban strip mall trying to be amusing, the joke has worn a bit thin. I like the no-nonsense approach that Thai Square has been bringing for years now, not just to its geographically precise name but to its service, presentation and its food. Take the fish cakes ($6.50), for example. I certainly did, and when the companions finally arrived, laden with shopping bags, I ordered another, along with the golden prawns ($8.50). Let’s face it, if you can’t do a decent fish cake, you’d better give your Thai a funny name and hope for the best. The kitchen at Thai Square knows its way around a fish cake - crispy on the outside, succulent inside with a little spice - and does a golden prawn to die for. Next, having drunk them out of the pinot gris, we moved onto a passable Oyster Bay chardonnay ($34 the bottle) as the mains arrived, share plates of the roasted duck curry ($18.90) and the stir-fried lamb pad khing with ginger and vegetables ($14.90). Thai Square also knows its way around a quacker, and a confession here: Trevor would normally order the duck stir-fried with ginger, but on this occasion, Trevor was overruled. Fortunately for the others, the duck curry also proved to be excellent, sweet and succulent.
Fish cakes and golden prawns starters. The main menu at Thai Square is commendably simple - just a variety of curries and stir-fries, and choose your beast, veges or seafood. You really can’t go wrong, but for the slightly adventurous, Trev suggests a spicedup jungle curry gang pha, which he and his mate Norm usually tuck into over their Tiger Beer-fuelled long lunches. Now, did I mention the patience and good humour of the charming staff? I think I need
to, since on this occasion Trevor stumbled while paying the bill and emptied the contents of his final glass of wine over our waitress, who smiled and thanked him for coming ... and leaving. The verdict: good, honest Thai tucker at very reasonable prices in a pleasant setting one block off the river.

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, Mayor Clare Stewart and CWA Tewantin Noosa committee members
SOCIAL SCENE
Connie Beausong and Joy Coulson
CWA, a lifeline for women By Margaret Maccoll Knitting jumpers for penguins rehabilitating from the affects of oil spills, making rugs for retirement homes, providing care packages to women’s refuges and Christmas hampers for families in need are just some of the contributions Tewantin-Noosa Country Women’s Association (CWA) make in the community. Last Friday the group announced its new committee including re-elected president Marcia Dorricott at its 93rd annual general meeting held at Tewantin State School with which the group has formed a collaborative partnership. “We try to help anyway we can,“ Marcia said. Former CWA state president Joy Coulson congratulated the group on the “tremendous work“ they do. “Keep doing the good work you’re doing supporting the community with all your knitting, crocheting and cooking,“ she said. Noosa MP Sandy Bolton said the knowledge they imparted and care they showed to the community and each other was very important. Ms Bolton recalled when she moved to a million acre property in the Northern Territory and had her three children the CWA became her substitute family. “I didn’t know anyone up there,“ she said. “I didn’t know anything about being pregnant. These adopted mothers and grandmothers became my lifeline. “What I got was help through their sharing of knowledge, their unconditional love and someone to talk to.“ Ms Bolton said she’s never forgotten their tips on cooking. On her property where the only thing she could grow was chokos and passionfruit she learnt how to make chokos taste like apples and how to preserve a vine of passionfruit that all ripened at the same time. She talked to the group about the challenges in her current position as local MP saying the one goal she had yet to meet in her term was the provision of affordable accommodation for people, particularly women aged over 55 years, who found themselves homeless in the community. Mayor Clare Stewart recalled the important role the CWA played in the life of her mother when as a child her family moved to Mt Isa. Knowing no-one there when they arrived the CWA provided her an important source of knowledge in their cookbook and a place where friendships were formed.Ms Stewart also spoke about her current role saying as Mayor the biggest challenge was not being able to get everything done. She praised the work of the CWA women and their potential, borrowing the words of Margaret Mead who said, “never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has“.

A pets guide
Sculpture’s a ton of fun
As lockdowns ease and many Queenslanders who worked from home return to the workplace, we need to be mindful of pets who may suddenly find themselves home alone. Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner said some pets may experience separation anxiety if nobody is around during the day. “One thing that many people have actually enjoyed during these difficult months has been spending more time at home with their pets,” Mr Furner said. “Dogs in particular crave human company, so owners who will be spending more time back in the office will need to condition their pet into feeling positive about time alone. “The simplest approach is to give your dog time out for brief periods. Leave them alone for a few minutes, five minutes, ten, then 20, then 30 and so on, so they’re not left feeling isolated for long periods.”

The infectious laugh of our native bird has been cheering people up in its travels across the state. Born in Iran, Daliri studied sculpture in India before migrating to Australia.
The giant laughing kookaburra, a 750kg sculpture created by artist and academic Farvardin Daliri dropped into Noosa on Monday. Noosa MP Sandy Bolton snapped this shot of the artwork when it stopped by the river on its journey around Australia spreading joy and happiness.

Hoskins pair show talents Gil Hoskins and his wife Sandi often play golf together at Noosa Springs, and there is always a wager riding on the outcome. The winner has to pay for that evening’s dinner. Last Wednesday Gil, a retired businessman who once served on the board of the Hawthorn Football Club, had notched up 22 stableford points on the first nine holes, and was on pretty good terms with himself. But Sandi, who takes her golf far less seriously than her husband, rallied strongly on the back nine and when they tallied their scores at the end of play they found they’d each scored 39 points. That was good enough for Sandi to take the ladies’ trophy. Gil, however, shared the lead in the men’s competition with Allan Carter, and ultimately lost on a countback - a result that Sandi quickly suggested should determine the outcome of their private bet. Irrespective of who picked up the dinner bill, it was an outstanding achievement for a husband and wife to play so well, and figure so prominently, in a competition contested by nearly 100 golfers. Gil and Sandi are Victorians - Gil a member of Metropolitan Golf Club and Sandi of Kingston Heath - who usually spend six weeks at Noosa each summer. This year, though, they opted to sit out the Covid-19 pandemic in Noosa rather than return to Melbourne - a decision they’re now very glad they made. “We love it here but we’re looking forward to getting back to Melbourne when we can,” Gil said. “We have a lot of friends and family there.” Adam Scott ready to play in US PGA ADAM Scott, the world No 9 golfer who remained at his Sunshine Beach home while the US PGA Tour was suspended because of Covid-19, is back in the States, ready to tee it up in next week’s PGA Championship in San Francisco. Scott has taken a longer absence from top golf than any other leading player, not absolutely convinced of the security of the PGA Tour’s health and safety plan. Scott, who has an alternate home in the Bahamas, may stay in the US until at least September, and perhaps even to November, when the US Masters is played, an event he famously won in 2013. Scott has been a regular on Sunshine Coast courses during the past few months and often practices at Noosa Springs. He twice played nine-hole competitions with friends - at Maleny and Caloundra - in recent weeks, which he streamed live around the world. He lived on the Sunshine Coast as a teenager and honed his golf game as a junior member of Twin Waters and Headland. Scott has often spoken about how much he’s enjoyed spending extended time with his family in Noosa during Covid-19. He won the Genesis Invitational in February and is 31st in current FedEx Cup standings. The former world No 1 golfer has played in just seven events this season. Taught by experts Noosa golfers had a chance last weekend to learn from one of the best when veteran pro Terry Price took his golf school to Noosa Golf Club. Price was there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, providing one-on-one Trackman sessions focusing on swing analysis, ball flight analysis and club distances, as well as clinics on driving, long iron play and the short game. Sunday Series back With Covid-19 restrictions eased in Queensland, Noosa Springs’ popular Sunday Series is back providing golfers with a chance to win a year’s free golf at two of the state’s most outstanding golf courses. The Sunday Series is a weekly stableford competition, with prizes for the day’s best scores. The male and female golfer with the best score each month qualify for the December final, where the winners receive unlimited golf, including the use of an electric cart, for a year 40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 31 July, 2020
Swingin’ in the rain – Gil and Sandi Hoskins at Noosa Springs at the weekend. at Noosa Springs and Links Hope Island. The competition is open to members and visitors, with local golfers - those who live on the Sunshine Coast, in Noosa and in Gympie eligible for the Locals Only special green fee of $79, including a cart. Bowditch’s battle continues Steven Bowditch, the former Noosa champion who is trying to resurrect his golf career in the US after injury and loss of form, continues to struggle. He finished last - 14 over par after two rounds - in this week’s Price Cutter Charity Championship in Springfield, Montana, on the secondary Korn Ferry Tour. His attempt at qualifying for the final 36 holes was doomed with a second-round double bogey seven on the 8th hole and a triple bogey seven on the 12th. In his first-round 81 he had seven bogeys and three double bogeys. Bowditch, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, is making enough birdies and pars. He just seems unable to eliminate the bad holes from his rounds. Low cost golf at Cooroy As specials go, this is about as good as it gets. Golfers can now play at Cooroy for just $16. The Noosa hinterland club’s Afternoon Special allows golfers to play nine holes - or 18 holes if they’re quick - for $16 as long as they tee off after 2pm. During summer the starting time drops back to 2.30pm. Bookings in advance are required during Covid-19 restrictions. There is also a two-player special on Tues-
days and Sundays. It provides 18 holes of golf, in a motorised cart, for $90. Tickle finds early form Popular Noosa pro Mark Tickle warmed up for the return of the Legends Pro-Am Tour when he shot a commendable one over-par 55 to be tied 20th in the Bulimba Pro-Am on Friday. Tickle, a regular on the Over 55s circuit, finished six strokes behind winner Michael Wright over 18 holes on the par three circuit in east Brisbane. The Legends Tour resumes at North Stradbroke Island on August 19. Noosa players in state title Cooroy golfers Marc Bright and Peter Kennedy, and Noosa Springs’ Rob Mowat are part of an 18-strong Sunshine Coast contingent about to compete for the Queensland men’s senior amateur championship at Mount Coolum. The 54-hole event, restricted to golfers aged 55 and over, will be played from August 2 to 4. The event is run in conjunction with the state women’s senior amateur championship and the Queensland women’s mid-amateur championship, which is contested by women aged 30 to 54.

Cobia from a recent Trekka 2 charter to Double Island Point.
Noosa River rich in trevally With the pearl perch and snapper closure in full swing until midnight on the 15th of August, anglers have had to venture to new ground in search of different species. Large grassy emperor have been recorded in the shallower reefs off of Noosa such as Sunshine and Halls with anglers picking up fish up to 4kg on both plastics and flesh baits. For those wanting to throw a plastic, these fish cannot resist a natural presentation. Plastics such as the Z-Man 5’’ Jerk Shad have been the crowd favourite. North Reef hasn’t skipped a beat this week with anglers boating some large Maori cod and tusk fish with sweetlip again in the mix. Tusk fish can be a hard species to work out, but the trick to maximising your catch is to downsize hooks so they can fit the whole bait in their small mouths. The best results have come from fishing slab baits on well-presented gang hooked rigs. Baits such as mullet fillet and bonito fillet have been the predominant successors. In the deeper reef patches around The Hards and Double Island regions, anglers can expect some quality cobia, estuary cod and the odd red throat emperor to land on deck. These fish are structurally orientated so
finding good ground is a large factor to finding fish. For the red emperor tragic, the lone bombies and ledges off of Double Island and south Fraser have provided anglers with some good fishing with most fish being taken on slab baits including mullet and hussar fillet. Beach fishing is on an upward slope with tailor and mulloway season in near full swing. Anglers have been presented with some harsh weather over the last week however have prevailed with some quality catches including metre plus mulloway and chopper tailor. The Peregian Beach stretch have been the pick for mulloway anglers with large fish being caught after dark on the full and new moon periods. For those fishing lures, the Rapala Extreme action slash bait has proven itself as a worthy part of the tackle box and for those bait fishing, you simply cannot beat a well presented strip of mullet fillet. The Double Island rocks has seen some action over the last week with a school of kingfish hanging off the headland. These fish are around the 80cm mark and provided lure fishos with an action packed fight. Lures such as the Halco Twisty in chrome and the Rapala Long Cast stickbait have landed
some awesome fish. The Noosa River always excels this time of year with the trevally fishing being the best on offer in nearly all of south east Queensland. These high speed predators can get huge in our river and it is essential to have the right gear in order to convert a bite to a capture. Lures are the most effective way to target these guys with prawn presentations such as the Storm 360 Coastal Shrimp being an evident worker. With the water being a chilly 19 degrees on average, trevally have been swimming in schools to keep warm so when one is caught, it is usually a clear indicator that there are more in the area. For those wanting to soak a bait, switch the plastic prawn for a real one. A light weight running sinker rig paired with a peeled prawn has been the most successful way to catch trevally for the past week with some quality golden, giant and diamond trevally being caught. The most success has been found around the woods bay region. For those targeting a humble bream or flathead the dog beach has been the pick with a mixture of baits working.
The freshwater has been on fire this week with some cracking bass and saratoga being caught at both Lake Macdonald and Borumba Dam. Saratoga have been feeding in the warmer parts of the lakes with shallow banks and structure heavy areas being the pick. These fish will hit a surface lure such as a popper or surface walker yet with the cooler surface water, a shallow running diver has been a very valuable lure to have in the boat. Fishing the edges at Borumba has been an effective method with the Jackall Squirrel 67SP in both Banana and HL Black and Gold being the two colours producing good numbers. A twitch, twitch followed by a short pause will give anglers the greatest chance at success.

2020: The strangest year History will reflect on 2020 as a year of unwanted sporting firsts and this week the AFL enters a course of very unchartered waters. Some 33 games will be played across 20 consecutive days and as the sun sets on this week’s deadline the fun starts on Wednesday night with the Western Bulldogs and Richmond going head to head at Metricon as Queensland becomes the AFL Mecca. For some, it is Christmas in July. For the AFL and Gil McLachlan, it will be either a masterstroke or an ill-conceived experiment. There is common sense and rationale behind the radical move. As the COVID situation shows no evidence of slowing in Victoria, teams are safely ensconced in hubs - and importantly for Victorian teams, away from Victoria. In club land the mood is one of, “Let’s get on with it”. So rounds nine through 12 are whirlwind. Five-day breaks a luxury. It’s not “Eat, Sleep, Pray”. It will be ‘Eat, Sleep, Play’ with a touch of praying given the pitfalls that may lay ahead in 20 straight days of football. The format of rounds 13-16 is yet to be decided as 2020 continues to be a fly by the seat of your pants season. More than likely be more of the same. By virtue of what the AFL is trying to achieve, the draw is less kind to some clubs than others. Clubs will be on high alert for a spike in injuries and fatigue. They must to plan how best to keep their playing group healthy. The answer could be resting players en masse. The AFL hierarchy and club officials are thinking on their feet. This radical plan might work. It might not. Either way, it is going to be one hell of a ride. It could come as welcome relief for some Queensland rugby league fans sick of watching a Broncos team that apparently feel a 48-point thrashing as acceptable because, “they played better for 20 or 30 minutes”. The Titans and Cowboys doing marginally better. For those fans Santa has just delivered an unexpected Christmas in gift in July. The Lions at the top of the AFL table and a banquet of AFL worthy of an Christmas feast. In Queensland? Who would have thought Strange year 2020. - Casey
SHOW SOME LOVE TO TEAL AND PINK Football kicked off for many on the Sunshine Coast last weekend. Unfortunately it was not an auspicious start with many games cancelled due to the wet and soggy state of the fields due to the heavy rain. As the season gets underway, players, officials and supporters are reminded that referees wearing teal shirts are in their first year of refereeing. Any referee wearing pink arm bands are under 18 years of age. These are excellent initiatives by Football Queensland to easily identify first year and younger referees. While all referees should be shown respect, it is hoped that these new and or young referees will be encouraged and supported in their endeavours. It is early days for these referees who are still learning about the game. Learning the intricacies of the rules of the game. They are developing the skills to manage a game and managing players on the pitch but they are the future of refereeing. It is a timely reminder to everyone that without the man or woman in the middle with the whistle there is no game. Good luck to all the newcomers this season. If you would like more information on the teal shirt initiative head to the Football Queensland website .

LIONS KICK ON The Noosa Lions were back in action last weekend. Both the Men’s Premier and Reserve Grade sides were coming off good games at their previous outing. The Men had a 4-0 win over Kawana and the Reserves played a 2-2 draw against Caloundra. There was plenty of confidence as they took on the Beegees (Beerwah United) on their home patch in conditions better suited to ducks than footballers. The Men’s game was a torrid affair and not without drama. Addison Brader suffered a fractured ankle during the game. Hopefully it will be a speedy recovery and he is back in back in action before season end. It was an unfortunate incident but he was well looked after by the Beegees’ match day medical staff. Despite the wet conditions there were some great goals scored in a game that swung from end to end. Each team had their chances. After an exciting first, scores were locked up at two all at half time. Matthew Thompson was outstanding scoring a double. Oli Williams also found the back of the net. The Lions were gifted a goal when the Beegees scored an own goal. The Beegees goals came from Cameron Nairn who scored a double while Tim Lawson and Giacomo Mellino each found the back of the net. The final score Beegees 4 Noosa 4 The Premier Reserve Men’s game was also a tough game but there was no joy for the Lions who went down 1-0 to the Beegees’ Ressies. The winning goal was scored by Beegees. player Josiah Green. Players and supporters will be hoping for better conditions next Saturday night when the Premier Men host Coolum. -Kick off is 6.00pm. The Premier Reserves also play Coolum with a 4.00pm kick off.
BROAD AND POMS ON THE CUSP No crowd no problem for Stuart Broad. Even without a crowd at Old Trafford, Broad added a sense of drama to the final over on Day Three. Broad almost stole the show on a day where
Conditions were tough for Pirates players on Saturday but everyone was pleased to see Rugby League back in action.
England dominated. With one ball of play remaining Broad needed one wicket for to reach his 500th Test wicket. He had his hands in the air as he nipped the ball past the outside edge. West Indian Shai Hope just retracted his bat in time, leaving Broad to sleep on 499 wickets and then cool his heels on day four as the rain tumbled down and play was officially abandoned. Day five the weather forecast looks more promising for play but even Gordon Greenidge and the 1984 Windies musketeers would struggle to knock off the 389 more runs West Indies require to win. England is eight wickets short of victory, with maximum of 98 overs to be bowled on the final day, (Tuesday evening our time) a 2-1 win for the Poms looks the likely scenario. Of course you can’t count your chickens and all that but there should be that crowning moment for Broad when he finally joins that elite 500 club. It would be a fitting close to what has been an entertaining series. Members of the elite 500 club:- Muttiah Muralitharan (800); Shane Warne (708); Anil Kumble (619); James Anderson (589); Glenn McGrath (563); Courtney Walsh.
TIGERS MEN REPEL HORNETS The Noosa Tigers got home by just three points in their round three clash against the Aspley Hornets in the QFA Hart Cup. At the end of the first quarter the Tigers held a slender one point advantage. The score, Hornet 2.2-14 - Tigers 2.2-15. Tigers, first quarter goal scorers were Liam Kenny and Maverick Pettigrove. Despite goals to Rogers and McDonald in the second quarter the Tigers trailed 5.7-37 to 4.4-28 at the half time break. Goals from O’Dwyer and Mc Donald and a behind in the third saw the Tigers take a slim 5.9-39 to 6.5.41 lead into the final quarter. The Tigers opened the final quarter with a goal to Daniel Stevens and in a thrilling finish held the Hornets at bay to grab the comepitition points in round three. The final score Hornets 6.10-46 - Tigers 7.7-49.
Fitzpatrick, Buntain, Laskey, Maher, Meredith all played well while McDonald the best with the boot for the Tigers. In the Reserve Grade game the Tigers went down to Aspley 8.5-53 to 7.6-48. There was more joy for the Colts who had a 13 point win in their game. In round five, on Saturday Noosa host Coorparoo. The Colts kick off at 10.00am followed by the reserve grade at midday with the main game commencing at 2.00pm.
PIRATES AHOY After months of “will there, won’t there” be rugby league junior Pirates teams hit the paddock on Friday night and Saturday. If the COVID entry requirements didn’t make things difficult enough, heavy rain Friday night and Saturday morning made things even more challenging for players officials and spectators. However rugby league fans showed their support and despite the conditions there were good crowds at games in Cooroy and Tewantin. The boys under-15 side had a 32-16 win over Nambour. As the saying goes the real winner was Rugby League with every one pleased to see the mighty Pirates back in action. This would not have been possible but for the efforts of the committee members, coaches, managers and the support of parents carers and family members. Everyone has gone above and beyond to get players back on the paddock. The support of club sponsors throughout this testing season has been unwavering and the Club is planning to hold a function when restrictions allow to show their appreciation. With the help of everyone the Club nailed the new Covid entry requirements - Thanks to the army of volunteers including Sandy Bolton MP who popped into the canteen for a stint to help kick off the season. Next week the majority of games are away with only a handful on Friday night at Tewantin.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt
Protecting our patch My colleagues on the stewardship committee of the Noosa World Surfing Reserve and I have been working over the past couple of months to help build the framework for proposed State government legislation to protect Queensland’s two World Surfing Reserves, Noosa and the Southern Gold Coast. The legislation was flagged by the Premier at the launch of the Global Wave Conference on the Gold Coast last February, but then along came Covid-19, and suddenly we find ourselves with backs to the wall, trying to deliver a working model in time for legislation to be drafted ahead of the State election at the end of October. And what further complicates this process is that we are reaching into the unknown. Although specific legislation to protect surfing areas exists in other parts of the world - notably New Zealand - in Australia, while we have laws governing marine reserves and bathing reserves, we have none that cover surfing reserves. And protection in this context means both from within and without. When Noosa became a National Surfing Reserve in 2015, and then a World Surfing Reserve earlier this year, we established the designated area for protection, covering the five world class point breaks and four beach breaks between North Sunshine and the Noosa River mouth. About half the shoreline access to these breaks is within the Noosa National Park, which already offers a degree of protection from development and commercial activity, but the Noosa Bathing Reserve, the jurisdiction of council lifeguards and Noosa SLSC patrols and water operations, covers only from Access 9 to Access 25 - effectively from the river mouth groyne to the National Park gates. The majority of people on our committee want the legislation to extend the bathing reserve so that it covers the surf breaks within the National Park, not to increase the duty of care of the lifesavers - although they frequently ignore the boundary in order to save lives on the outer bays - but so that all of the surf breaks within the World Surfing Reserve have the same protections from boats and personal water craft. This is not to suggest that we seek to ban either, just limit their use so that they don’t impede the use of our surf breaks for all surfers, in the same way that they are limited in the existing bathing reserve. The surfing community is not quite of one voice about this - some hero surfers demand the right to tow in (only remotely possible on Noosa’s points on a handful of days a year anyway) whenever they want, no matter how many paddle surfers are in the water. Let’s hope that this issue can be resolved to the satisfaction of all, because the Noosa World Surfing Reserve does not want to see our point breaks become a dangerous circus like Kirra on the Gold Coast every swell event. There are many other issues that we’re working through at the moment but the rules needed to create safe surfing zones for all seem to be the most vexing at the moment. If you’re a surfer with an informed opinion that you want to share please contact me at phil.jarratt@noosatoday.com.au When Noosa went pro Jane Harding, our Noosa Heritage co-ordinator, this week shared a classic piece of Noosa surfing history, which will be seen for the first time ever by a whole generation of local surfers. Jane wrote: “My colleagues in Gympie have just finished a project to digitize some old Channel 7 news footage, including approximately five minutes of a 1969 surfing competition at Noosa. I’m pretty sure it’s the same competition that the library has still images of, courtesy of Bill Griffiths.” Correct, Jane, and the few images shot by Sam, dad of Bill and founder of the Noosa News, back in 1968, were pretty much all we had of this historic event until the emergence

Troy was a good organiser and within a few months he and a committee of surfers presented Australia’s first “professional” surfing contest, the Noosa Heads Open, which boasted over $1,000 in prizes and cash -astounding for the times - and was taken out by Gold Coast goofy footy Graham Black. Not surprisingly, the 1969 Noosa Open, won by Sydney superstar Ted Spencer, featured many of Australia’s leading surfers. (Butch Cooney won the junior mens, Phyllis O’Donnel the womens.) I’ve pulled a few screen shots to show you in print, but if you go to the digital Noosa Today or find this column on our Facebook page, you can see the link to the Youtube footage.

Rugby spirit not doused By Doug Toms, Eumundi Dragons Rugby Union Club president Pouring rain couldn’t dampen the rugby spirit which was alive and well this weekend on the fields and in the canteen at the Eumundi Dragons Rugby Union Club home on Black Stump road this weekend. It was a fantastic club effort to kick off the 2020 junior Rugby Union season. Once again our coaches and managers did a sterling job and players seemed to relish the wet conditions with ALL teams putting in outstanding performances. Welcome to our two new members, Matthew in the U11s and Oscar in the U9s, who fit in nicely with their respective teams. Seems as though we need to flood our fields for future home games so the teams can perform at such a high level! Only joking, as I’m sure our wonderful caretaker David wouldn’t be impressed with the state of the fields after another full day of wet weather Rugby. Here’s hoping for a season of fine weather, great games and fields that are green and fast with games to match.
Dragons at play.

U7’S MATCH REPORT After months of uncertainty in an everchanging world what is more apt than the young Titans of Eumundi Dragons and Flinders meeting in the colosseum of rugby union. The mighty U7’s Eumundi Dragons presented on a rainy day to light up the eyes of onlookers and they did not disappoint. With young Nixon running in for numerous tries, Spencer on debut taking man of the match and honourable mentions to Isla, Henry, Nate and Patrick, these young Dragons are sure to delight this season. Thank you to parents and guardians who braved the weather and to the formidable competitors Flinders. - Megan Youd
U11’S MATCH REPORT Rain and a wet field were the order of the day as the Under 11 Eumundi Dragons met the University Gold team on Saturday afternoon at Eumundi. The weather certainly didn’t dampen the energy or speed of the Dragons as they ran in their first try within a couple of minutes. The tries continued in the first half with Jett Herbert scoring a hattrick of tries and kicking
four conversions. The second half was a grinding game in the wet with both teams working hard for possession of the ball and making good ground. The Dragons won impressively with a team game where all team members played with intensity. The Dragons were lucky enough to be loaned some Uni teammates for the game -
so thank you to Henry, Taryck, Riley and Connor. The Best Team Mate was awarded to Max Thompson-Johnson who had a brilliant game both in defense and attack, scoring two tries of his own and as always, his support play. A fabulous way to start the season Dragons. - Pamela Campbell-Jones
Tigers take two from two By Julian Pitts
NOOSA AFL
The Roccoco’s Bar and Bistro Noosa Tigers have overcome a strong and defiant Aspley by 3 points in heavy conditions in Brisbane last Saturday. After an enthralling and highly skillful first quarter by both teams the constant rain made for a very slippery and hard fought contest with the Noosa side prevailing and making it a perfect start to the season thus far. “It was a really hard slog out there and I’m very happy we came away with the four points,” senior coach Adam Bovalino said. “They defended heavily number wise and we just couldn’t get through it in the conditions.Good tough game.” Harry Maher was again the best for the Tigers racking up 29 touches across half back with usual suspects Fitzpatrick, Laskey and Buntain involved the entire day and pivotal once again to a positive result. Star recruit Brett Meredith also showed the skills that saw him play 16 AFL games for the Sydney Swans. The Tigers are back at home to face Cooparoo this Saturday from 2 pm with the game being live

Mates eye Cup double By Garry Howe Noosa and Gympie part-owned Vow And Declare last year had to overcome a crack international field to win the country’s most famous horse race, the $7.3 million Melbourne Cup. This year the Danny O’Brien-trained stayer will have to overcome a global pandemic in a quest to become only the fifth horse to go back-to-back in the big Flemington two-miler. Part-owner Bob Leitch told Noosa Today that Vow And Declare was back in work and thriving in a campaign again aimed to culminate at Flemington on Tuesday 3 November. He said all was going to plan - or as much as you can plan in the middle of a pandemic. The campaign is set to kick off in the Makybe Diva Stakes over 1600m at Flemington on 12 September, then progress to on to the Turnbull Stakes, also at Flemington, over 2000m on 3 October before tackling the 2400 metre Caulfield Cup, a traditional lead-up race, on 17 October. O’Brien said after last year’s Cup win that Vow And Declare would be a better horse next spring. The signs are he was on the money. “Danny O’Brien us really happy with him,” Leitch said. “He’s a bigger, stronger horse than last year, but he will need to be to carry the extra weight.” Vow And Declare, who carried 52kg to win last year, is based at the stable’s 13th Beach facility at Barwon Heads, near Geelong in Victoria. “They’ve actually had him working harder down at the beach than he would if at Flemington,” Leitch explained. “He’s due to have a jump out in a couple of weeks and from there will do a bit of extra work.” One thing in their favour this year is that there is unlikely to be an influx of internationals, due to the worldwide virus crisis. Racing authorities are pulling out all stops to help international runners make the trip, seeking a Federal Government travel exemption so trainers and their staff can travel. But it needs to be sorted by mid-August at the latest and is becoming more and more unlikely as Covid-19 figures spike in Melbourne, where Flemington is considered a hotspot for infection. Vow And Declare flew the Australian flag last year, as the only locally bred horse in the field - and also had local solely local owners, trainer and jockey. For some, it rekindled their interest in the race. “I spoke to a lot of racing people afterwards and they said it brought back a lot of interest in the Cup - that it’s not just a race for the internationals,” Leich said. “It shows that the average Joe Blow can

invest in a horse and still win the Melbourne Cup.” For some of Vow And Declare’s 13 owners, it was their first foray into racehorse ownership, including Leitch. By US sire Declaration Of War out of Geblitzt, Vow And Declare was bred by Noosa businessman Paul Lanskey, who after unsuccessfully trying to offload him at the sales hawked him around friends and family. Among those to take up the offer was his nephew, Gympie State High School principal Anthony Lanskey, who also got his two sons, Lachi and Ben, into the ownership. Anthony is president of Australian School-
boys Rugby League and had spoken to a couple of great mates also tied up with the schoolboys about one day getting into a horse. They were Leitch, his colleague at Gympie State High and the former deputy mayor, and Kort Goodman, principal of Assumption College in Warwick. Goodman and Leitch are former schoolboys rugby teammates and Lanskey was team manager of a side Leitch coached. They’re pretty close. Leitch was turning 50 around the time the shares were being hawked around and wife Correne asked him what he wanted for his birthday.
The schoolboys rugby league mate embrace after the big win. He says the subsequent share in Vow And Declare is the gift that keeps giving. They realize how fortunate they were to share on of Australian sport’s greatest prizes and one that has eluded so many icons of the sport over the years. Take Vow And Declare’s jockey Craig Williams as an example. Williams grew up in a racing family - his grandfather and father were both trainers of note - and it was his 16th ride in the race. He had ridden over 50 Group 1 winners all over the world, yet made no secret that the Melbourne Cup was his Holy Grail. To go back-to-back would rank Vow And Declare alongside the Cup’s first winner Archer (1861-62), Rain Lover (1968-69), Think Big (1974-75) and Makybe Diva (2003-05) as the only horses to achieve that feat. The big question is whether the schoolboys rugby league mates will be at Flemington alongside the other owners to soak it all up again. “It’s pretty frustrating,” Leitch said. “We’ve already booked flights and accommodation. “I don’t imagine we will get to the earlier races, but one of the ideas is for owners to go in prior to the race and then be gone by the next race. We’d probably take that. “There is a fair chance we would have to be isolated because Flemington is a (Covid) hotspot. “You just don’t know. But we will be there if we get the opportunity.”
Noosa paddlers contest Beach to Beach Ocean Race The annual Beach to Beach Ocean race for surfskis, prones, SUPs and outrigger canoes was held on 18 July. The 16km race from Moffat Beach, Caloundra to Mooloolaba is an anticipated event, and this year even more so after months of Covid-19 restrictions. With the weather forecast predicting to be sunny and with a good southerly breeze of 20 knots the excitement of getting on the water to race was palpable after so long. This was the first event after the lockdown and paddlers were in the hundreds, all aware of and adhering to social distancing and hand sanitising requirements, demanded by the organisers, Mooloolaba Paddlers, the Outrigger man and Paddle Queensland. Conditions did not quite live up to the forecast wind strength, much to the disappointment of a few but the sea was still running South to North in the direction of the race and it offered some good surfing runs. Fortunately the shore break at Moffat Beach, which can be tricky, was calm so everyone got on the water without getting too wet.
The surfskis set off first at 09:00 followed by the prones and SUPs and then the outrigger canoes at 10:00. The course took the craft out to sea for about 1.5km, around a buoy then straight to Point Cartwright before finishing on the beach at Mooloolaba. As it turned out, the final turning buoy was some distance seaward than most expected and the advertised race distance of 16km ended up to be more like 17.5km. Everyone was up to the challenge. Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club (NOCC) had representatives in a number of race divisions and were well up in the age group placings. They were: Bill Ridderhof, 9th Surfski 60+, in 1h 36’ 41” John Goller, 2nd OC1 (outrigger canoe) 50+, in 1h 24’.37” Bodo Lenitschek, 8th OC1 50+, in 1h 35’32” Cathy McKee and Manuela Frank, 2nd OC2 Open, in 1h 36’01” Des Mabbott, 1st OC1 60+, in 1h 30’24” Wendy Mabbott 1st OC1 60+, in 1h 50’42” Everyone agreed that the event was a wonderful return to paddling in South East

Talking Sport Ron Lane
The Outriggers of Noosa According to Noosa Outrigger club historian Craig Harris, it was in the year 1985 that a gentleman named Evan Gartrell, while working on Hamilton Island, first became aware of the sport of outrigging. Immediately captivated, he took up the sport and began paddling with the open men’s team, taking part in inter-island races. So engrossed was he in the sport, that at years end he travelled to Molokai to compete in this very historic, but in Australia, little known international sport of the Outrigger. In 1987 Evan shifted to Noosa. During a visit to Main Beach in 1991, the fact that he was wearing his souvenir Molokai T- shirt, drew the attention of a lady named Zandra Brown (nee D’Amboise). The lady was from Hawaii and as a teenager had represented one of the local outrigger clubs competing at Molokai. Standing in front of the Frenzy Ice Cream Van, they began to discuss their experiences while contesting the various events: after a short time, they agreed that it would be a great thing to have an outrigger club in Noosa. With this in mind Evan decided to investigate the possibility of forming such a club. As luck would have it, his old team captain from his days on Hamilton Island, happened to be the President of the Australian Outrigger Canoe Racing Association (A.O.C.R.A.). Evan made contact and in a gesture of good will to assist, the president offered to loan, for a period of three months, one of his own “Malia” canoes. The Mooloolaba club (which was the first to be formed on the Sunshine Coast in 1990) lent a trailer: this solved the problem of transporting the canoe to regattas. Regarding the paddlers, they came from amongst friends and relatives of Zandra and Evan: and the necessary paddles, they made themselves. “They trained” said Craig, “in mixed men and women’s teams and borrowed canoes to compete in. The sport started to take hold and soon they had enough men and women paddlers to form their own teams for competition.” The Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club was on its way. The A.O.C.R. A. was formed in 1988. With the Noosa club being formed (in 1991) it was essential that affiliation with the governing body, be top priority: this enabled the paddlers to compete. Then in 1992 they became incorporated, thus giving official recognition to their committee. First Point to Point race, a 42km change over event, from Mooloolaba to Noosa was organised and Hamilton Island came down to compete. On arrival, Evan was informed that they had a second hand canoe for sale for $4,OOO: he decided to buy the canoe with the agreement, that the club would reimburse him by fund -raising. At that time one of the women paddlers was Lisa Doherty and her parents were the owners of the North Shore Beachfront Wilderness Camp. Stepping in as sponsors, they purchased the craft and Noosa had its first canoe. As they had no clubhouse, in order to protect the canoe from the weather, covers were obtained from the Hamilton Island team on an exchange bases; one carton of forex for one canoe cover. The club continued to grow. In the following year, Sunshine Coast Developer Mal Pratt, having an interest in seeing both the sport and the club continue to developed, suggested that Evan approach Bill Freeman, the Principal of the Noosa Outlook, to discuss sponsorship. Over the phone an agreement was reached: they contributed $5000 toward the purchase of a new canoe, with the remaining amount of $1900 to be raised by the club. This was to be the start of a major sponsorship deal. Over the following two years a further substantial amount, which enabled the Noosa club to purchase three new canoes, was made. Now some 30 years on, the Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club is going strong with 21 canoes and a membership of 170: for a relativity new sport, the future is looking good. The first ever outrigger club in Australia 46 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 31 July, 2020
Noosa Outriggers Men in action was formed on the Gold Coast in 1978 and in Sydney their first was 1989; this was also the first time that an Australian championship was ever held. In 1990 there were only 11clubs in Australia, the majority of which were based in the Whitsundays: but by 1991 they had doubled to 23.At present we have 68 clubs around Australia and a membership base of 38,000 In competition, distance for events takes two forms, sprints and marathons. The sprints are in 500 to 3000mts and the marathons 5 to 30 kl: their canoes are 6 person canoes OC6, 2 person OC2, and solo OC1: the rules for these races were created by the Hawaiian Racing Club. The age categories go from juniors, 8-18, opens, then masters 30-50, senior masters, 50-60,golden masters 60-70 and platinum 70 plus. When speaking of competition, two of the biggest outrigger events of the year would be the Sydney Harbour Challenge and the National Sprint and Marathon titles held on the Sunshine Coast: both always contested by our Noosa crews. “As you can see,” said Craig, “we cater for a wide range of people and this makes us a very proud and successful club. Our organisation nurtures respect for the heritage and Polynesian culture from which the craft originated. This we show, by performing the blessing of a new craft, prior to the launch.” Over the years the club has grown and earned representation in all divisions of the regattas: in the process achieving excellent results racing in the OC6 and OC1 events. The major goal for these proud athletes, coaches and families is now to obtain a block of land on which to build a clubhouse. Presently, their place of assembly is in Chaplin Park, Mill Street Noosaville. The difficulties that they endure by not having a clubhouse are insurmountable. To form a club in a relatively unknown sport and achieve success is to say the least outstanding. When the Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club presented Evan Gartrell, foundation member, with its first ever Life Membership, his virtues were many. For his loyalty and achievements, both as an administrator and competitor, it would have been an honour well deserved. Well done to Evan Gartrell and all involved.

RACHEL Sellman at Century 21 Noosa is getting a lot of interest on high-end properties at Noosa’s eastern beaches. “At the higher end, there is virtually nothing to buy,’’ she said. “People realise this is the best place, so they are getting their money together to make it work. “Everything is getting a lot of traction. “In general, prices have not come down at all. We just have less stock available.’’ A stunning three-bedroom, threebathroom house at 316 David Low Way, Peregian Beach, is under offer after being listed at $2.95m. The house, a stunning display of modern design and flawless luxury on 759sqm, attracted multiple offers. Interest came from Singapore, Brisbane and the buyer had relocated from Melbourne before the shutdown. The residence was designed by Cube Proudly Australian Owned & Independent noosatoday.com.au

A stunning three-bedroom, three-bathroom house at 316 David Low Way, Peregian Beach, is under offer after being listed at $2.95m. homes with the layout expertly crafted to take full advantage of the expansive water views. Another to get immediate attention once listed has been the three-bedroom, threebathroom house on 524sq m at 18 Pelican St, Peregian Beach. “We got a lot of interest as soon as it came onto the market this month. “Listed at offers over $1.60m, the house had ocean views as well as western outlook. “It was tenanted, and there was plenty of opportunity to value-add.’’ The property sold within about three days, Ms Sellman said. “Due to the timing it was mainly Queenslanders who could act. “Someone from country New South Wales had sent people on his behalf and was willing to buy sight unseen. In the end it was a Brisbane family making it their holiday home.’’ A two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit at 2/20 Nebula St, Sunshine Beach, is also under offer after being listed for sale by negotiation. Brisbane buyers were able to respond quickly while Melbourne interest was hoping to get up when the borders opened but could not act. Just listed is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with two-car accommodation at 59 Seaview Tce, Sunshine Beach. “It’s on the high side of street, not

since September last year. The owners, their children and grandchildren grew up with it. Yet the decision was made to holiday let then sell it. “Being an older style apartment, it is big, with a massive deck and dual living areas. “On the high side of the street, the garage is big enough for surfboards, and it is just 50m to the shops.’’ Mr Gage said Covid-19 has been the catalyst for what he believes is a micro trend in Noosa. “The southerners have been thinking to buy in the next five years, but the hot spots in the cities means they are bringing forward their decisions “It’s a micro trend that will hang on til Christmas. “It’s a case of grouping together a whole lot of purchases that may have been done in future.’’ RIGHT IN THE PICTURE The auction of the renovated two-bedroom unit 4/33 Picture Point Cres, Noosa Heads, showed that Noosa shines in all weather. There was strong interest right from the outset of the campaign run by Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate. On Saturday morning, despite the misty conditions, the expansive northerly views from the boutique apartment were a source of amazement - over Hastings St, Laguna Bay and to the North Shore. Gordon Macdonald was the auctioneer and there are three registered bidders - two on the floor and another on the phone. “It was about 40 years ago when it was built and the developer had the pick of the properties,’’ the auctioneer said, “and this is the pick of the units. “Even on a rainy day the views are amazing. “It’s called Picture Point Terrace, and it’s no wonder why they named it.’’ Bidding started at $1m and continued with the two in the room to $1.460 when the phone bidder joined in. The property was called on the market at $1.461m and after 29 bids was sold to the Brisbane buyer at $1.481m.

beachfront but such popular spot,’’ Ms Sellman said. “First time on the market since built … that would be about 30 years ago.’’ Another great house coming up is at 6 Stevens St, Sunshine Beach, described as “a lovely David Teeland design.’’ OCEAN VIEWS, SUNSHINE TO START THE DAY Stephen Gage at Zinc Noosa Real Estate has reported the highest sale price for an apartment in Sunshine Beach so far this year. It sold within three and a half weeks, sight unseen, at the tail-end of the Covid lockdown in Queensland. The spacious, split-level, three-bedroom penthouse is at Waratah in Crank St, and sold in the high $2m range. “It’s an older building, only three in the block,’’ Mr Gage said. “It’s 350sq m, so house sized. “It’s been held in same family for more than 20 years. “On the top level, you get the sunshine each morning and ocean views from most rooms. From the deck you can see the sand.’’ Zinc Noosa were about to launch the marketing campaign just as the Covid-19 pandemic was about to happen. “We called the vendors and said it might not be the best time to market it as the buyers could be southerners. “We held off, but the opportunity came up for property magazine cover in May. “It was agreed to put it on the market a month and then take it down if it did not sell. “We did everything - walk-throughs, videos - and ended up selling sight unseen to a Melbourne buyer. “Yet the sale was not seamless. There was a lot of backwards and forwards, answering questions, such as how big is the garage, and what about the view? “Photos do not always give a great indication. People like to get the feel of it.’’ The buyers had been coming to Noosa for 20 years on family holidays, always looking to make a purchase. They booked it themselves.

FLEXIBILITY AND LOCATION It’s a striking house in a street that many locals do not know about. And it offers flexibility of the floorplan as well as the location. Warren Evans at Laguna Real Estate has listed the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house with pool at 9 Goodchap St, Tewantin, that he describes as a beach house in the poinciana-lined avenue near the river. “We call it Little Goodchap St,’’ he said, “as it’s where the road turns after it becomes Earnest St. “Most think Goodchap is a through road but it has a no-through bend in it. “There is a canopy of poinciana trees. When they come out in blossom it is simply stunning.’’ Balcarres is on the high side of the street and has a northerly aspect. “It presents like a modern-day beach house with a terrific portico or deck. The outdoor kitchen interacts beautifully with the galley-style kitchen and living area. “That in turn overlooks the wet-edge pool. “There is an open-plan lounge/dining with cathedral ceilings. But the kitchen is the focus of the home. The hub. “Clerestory windows bring in a lot of natural light and ventilation.’’ Mr Evans has been receiving a very good response to the property, listed at $1,575,000. “We are getting people from interstate, even from Victoria. They are trapped here ... they love it. “Locals are looking - downsizing to something in the trees. Brisbane people are coming up and looking, thinking of retiring.’’ The house, on 1004sq m, features four large bedrooms plus office/alternate tv room. It offers flexibility of the floorplan, and the location. There is an additional living area or walkthrough office, while the main bedroom at the front overlooks the pool with backdrop of the trees. PEACEFUL WATERFRONT POSITION Open for inspections at the two-bedroom, two-bathroom waterfront apartment at 4/7 Peza Ct, Noosa Sound, took off with a bang, according to Rebekah Offermann of
Tom Offermann Real Estate. The property, in a block of six, goes to auction on Saturday, August 1, at 10am. “We have been getting Brisbane people, and, locals who are considering it as a residence. “Others see it as a holiday property and investment opportunity,’’ Ms Offermann said. “It’s a peaceful location, and there is a sandy beach. “From the top floor you feel like you are floating on top of the water. “It is a really wide water view ... east south east … across to a treed council reserve. A beautiful morning light comes across the property. “Due to the elevation it has privacy.’’ Ms Offermann said many southern buyers were happy with the on-line inspections being offered. “Covid has forced their hand. “They are seeing Noosa properties being snapped up while they are unable to get here. “We are seeing higher than normal amounts of friends or family inspecting on site or on-line. “Many people are familiar with Noosa, provided they can get the facts they need. “This involves images, Face-time viewing ... I can talk to people, give them a personal showing.’’ POTENTIAL AND VIEWS A 4806sq m block with a three-bedroom house circa 1999, smack in the centre of town … who wouldn’t be interested in that. Especially when it has development approval to split into three lots. Carol Dolan of Noosa Hinterland Realty is taking the property at 125 Memorial Dve, Eumundi, to auction on Saturday, August 15, at 2pm. “We had a half a dozen groups through on Saturday,’’ Ms Dolan said, “And despite the mist they could get a feel of the property. “Having the DA in place to subdivide certainly piqued interest. People liked the potential as to subdivide or have a big home with fabulous views. “It’s a very interesting property.’’ Interest has been from locals as well as Brisbane interest. “They are thinking of relocating. I feel there is an influx of people escaping the city.
“Work from home has shown it is very appealing. They have found you can work from anywhere now. “The locals love the aspect and views … that’s a big drawcard.’’ BUYERS DECIDE ON LIFESTYLE A high level of buyer demand but a low level of stock in Noosa has put the market back in favour of sellers, according to Angela Wood of Dowling Neylan. “It’s an incredible market at the moment,’’ she said. “Such a tight market. “Buyer demand, especially from Brisbane, is coming from people reevaluating the way they live since the coronavirus outbreak. “They have been forced to work from home and have found it works quite well. Now they are looking for a sea change to get work and lifestyle in balance. “Noosa is the place of choice. “The market is exceeding all expectations. At the start (of the pandemic) we were unsure how it was going to move, but it’s incredible.’’ Together with Sam Plummer of Dowling Neylan, Ms Wood is marketing 26 Wyona Dve, Noosa Heads, a five-bedroom, threebathroom house with pool. They are looking for interest above $1.395m. “Cooloola Hill is such a sought-after area,’’ Ms Wood said. “A pure residential pocket, so it’s been creating a fair bit of interest. “The property is elevated so it gets natural breezes and offers exceptional privacy. “The gardens are established, and it is a north-facing home with flexible design, so there are a couple of different entertaining areas. “It’s a great family home as well.’’ Set over two levels, the ground level comprises of two separate living areas, spacious kitchen, substantial main bedroom and ensuite all overlooking the outdoor terrace area and in-ground pool. There is also a study/fifth bedroom and guest bathroom located on this level. The upper level comprises a further three bedrooms and bathroom. “It’s still very much a seller’s market,’’ Ms Wood said. “The prices being achieved reflect that. “Buyers initially thought they could move in (on the market). Yet they now know they

need to make decisions and act, otherwise there will be another 10 buyers behind them. “Facetime inspections have been providing for the Victorian and New South Wales markets. We are finding people have been coming to Noosa for years and doing their research, looking at the market for some time. “Quite often they have friends or relatives to act on their behalf. “The state borders have not held a lot of buyers back from physically being here.’’ AUCTION ACTION FRIDAY, 24 July Noosaville 2/19 Production St: High span factory/ warehouse on two separate titles, Tracey Ryan 0421 981 490 David Brinkley 0448 594 361 Ray White Commercial Noosa and Sunshine Coast North.

ON THE COVER
EMBODIMENT OF RAVISHING PENTHOUSE EXUDES 5-STAR WITH sparkling almost 360-degree views, dramatic sunrises and salty air, the magnetic pull of this ultra-luxe penthouse is undeniable. Poised north, there’s no finer position, even from the roof terrace jacuzzi, to capture the most incredibly wide panorama of the Noosa River, the Noosa National Park and hinterland, plus the Coral Sea, where it laps the sands of Double Island Point. On the south and west sides, it is more about hectares of established parklands and waterways. The magical location on the coconut palm-fringed waterfront is complemented by the building’s curvaceous architectural lines. Indoors emulates this ravishing quality and adds a nod to Palm Springs. Eyes are immediately drawn to the wrap-around balcony off the generous and dynamic gallery-style living spaces with soaring walls of glass. Soak up postcard pictures of pleasure craft on the main arm of the Noosa River, sun devotees in the dazzling pool and on the private white-sand beach, before turning around to experience a ‘sigh moment’. Central to the design are lofty ceilings, however making quite the statement is the grand, almost sweeping-style staircase and domed glass-ceilinged atrium which ‘washes’ the interior with natural light. Upstairs is certainly the piece de resistance. The rooftop terrace, read multi-purpose
living and alfresco spaces, encapsulates almost 360° views, and includes a bar, jacuzzi, and everything sun and cocktail party lovers, barbeque fanciers, sports fans and star gazers will adore. There’s even enough space for kids to have their own zone. The over-generous king master bedroom with walk-in robe and exquisite marble-tiled bathroom, also has access to the balcony and is on the main level, while a hallway distances two queen-size suites in the south wing. They share a marble bathroom which features a walk-in curved-wall shower plus a balcony. The neutral-hued chic kitchen with stone benchtops, breakfast bar, glass splashbacks 2-pac cabinetry and premium appliances has built-in seating. “It’s a short walk to Quamby Place with its nationally known restaurants and world-famous Hastings Street with its sophisticated shopping and Noosa Main Beach is a little more than 2kms away, so the location is second-to-none,” say Tom Offermann Real Estate agents Michael McComas and Chris Miller, who are taking the penthouse to auction. “The area bursts with amazing natural assets and Noosaville ‘wears’ many hats. From the playground of the rich and famous to the locals who call it home and enjoy the lifestyle, investing in properties like this, is totally secure.” ●

BREEZY BEACH RETREAT HITS A HIGH MARK AN enviable lifestyle awaits the fortunate, when centre stage right out front, are striking panoramas of the Coral Sea, white-capped waves rolling onto Peregian Beach and a coastline stretching beyond Mooloolaba to Point Arkwright. So easy to get lost in the moment. Adding to the easy-breeziness of this coastal gem, which is partially perched on an escarpment and is in a boutique complex of five, is its proximity to toes-inthe-sand, including the doggy beach, plus diverse local offerings such as the lively Peregian Beach village which is only a 900m stroll away. Unwinding comes naturally throughout; however, it is the upper level which is the most exciting. Banks of sliders open off the generous high-ceilinged open plan living and dining spaces in a seamless fashion to the oh-so-wide, eco-timbered balcony. This is strategically orientated to capture not only those uninterrupted views but mesmerising moments such as being almost eye-level to hang gliders and in awe
of humpback whales in season. On the north-side, the large master bedroom with built-in robes and ensuite, also opens out to the balcony. It goes without saying that waking to unbelievable
sunrises and the sound of the surf are daily occurrences. The contemporary kitchen with 2-pac cabinetry, stone-look topped benches and breakfast bar plus premium appliances,
would suit every enthusiastic cook and entertainer. On the level below is a bedroom, also a media/lounge room which could easily be a fourth bedroom. Both open to the balcony on the ocean-side of the apartment. Another bedroom is on the eastern side as is a family bathroom with a spa and next door is a laundry. A back door opens to a very private, palm-fringed back garden. There’s ample room to create a vegetable patch and for the kids to play on the lawn. “What a sage investment opportunity on so many levels including the very quiet yet popular location,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Tracy Russell. “It’s only 150m to the beach, so close to the Peregian Beach Surf Club, and the village with on-trend boutiques, a patisserie, artisan baker also cafes and restaurants, where you can take your four-footer to breakfast. There’s also an abundance of nature such as hectares of the Noosa National Park with dedicated walking tracks and of course there are those magical ocean and coastal views.” ●

HOME FOCUS
TROPIC LUXE AT SUNSHINE BEACH COCOONED amid lush tropical gardens, this luxurious Sunshine Beach home exudes individuality, chic style and privacy. Everywhere you look, you see beauty. A 5-minute stroll (700 metres) to the patrolled beaches of Sunshine Beach and vibrant Duke Street village with its exceptional restaurants and bars, boutiques and the newly refurbished Sunshine Beach Surf Club. Hastings Street, Noosa Main Beach and the Noosa National Park are only 5 minutes away by car. The soon-to-be-completed Sunshine Coast Airport expansion is only a 25-minute drive away, and sure to make visiting easy. The unique home has been lovingly rebuilt in two stages, transforming this home into an elegant and sophisticated tropic luxe residence suited to both family living and entertaining. Featuring antique hand-carved Indian entry doors, stacked stonework, expansive concrete beam structure, Australian hardwood timbers and custom-made Moroccan lace accent panels that radiate
beauty…the interplay of these elegant features makes this home a showstopper to passers-by. The renovation was designed in consultation with Gerard Smith of Mojo Design Studio, Noosa Heads, one of Australia’s award-winning Architects. Impeccably presented, the calming aesthetic of neutral colour palettes, layers of elemental textures and pearl white interior is perfect for seaside living. Bi-fold doors,
hidden screens, glass panels and clever use of plantation shutters, bring understated beauty and elegance to the generous rooms which deliver an intuitively appealing space this home just keeps giving. The sprawling open-plan living areas awash with natural light and airflow conveys comfort in every room. A choice of two bedrooms on the lower level is complemented by the shared bathroom featuring modern colour tones of sand and chocolate, floor to ceiling tiles and floating cabinets with Caesarstone tops. Ascend the staircase to the upper level and you will see what makes this retreat so special. Step inside another light-filled living area with warm timber floors and beautiful cross breezes, complete with cafe bar for that early morning coffee. A glass louvered office leads off this room and is ideal for a work-from-home business or client meetings. This level is also home to a further three bedrooms, including the master, and two more fabulous bathrooms. The main ensuite
features a luxurious hydrotherapy massage spa for two, surrounded by Italian tiles. With a range of indoor and outdoor areas, functionality abounds throughout. Effortless entertaining is achieved with the large covered alfresco area with a servery from an impressive chef`s kitchen, allowing for seamless integration between inside and out. Soaring ceilings surrounded by high glass louvers sets the tone for this expansive kitchen. With marble island, polished timber bench tops, Miele dishwasher, Ilve 900mm oven and 5-burner cook top with a Schweigen commercial range hood, the kitchen is a chef’s dream. The abundant 2-pack cabinetry and large pantry has been well thought-out and is able to house as many kitchen appliances, flatware and glassware to accommodate two families. The beauty and elegance of this spectacular home and unbeatable location will take your breath away. Contact Anita Nichols to arrange your private inspection. ●
