Spencer’s battle Ten year old Spencer Hitchen is continuing his David and Goliath battle to save Sunrise Beach bushland that sustains his beloved Glossy Black Cockatoo population against a Uniting Church development project that will clear five hectares of habitat to construct a 102-bed residential aged care home. Spencer has been watching and photographing the vulnerable species for the past few years. He has written to the Uniting Church to preserve the bushland and with Glossy Team Sunrise is supporting a petition containing more than 3000 local signatures to save the bushland. Last week Spencer, his mum Maxine and the Glossy Team Sunrise including Bob Carey and Desiree and Zoe Gralton, were joined by Mayor Clare Stewart to walk the perimeter of the Grasstree Court land earmarked for clearing.

Enforce STA law By Margaret Maccoll You make the law, you enforce it. That was the sentiment of one councillor during discussions to change Noosa Council’s short term accomodation laws on Tuesday. Cr Tom Wegener told the Planning and Environment Committee meeting that it was up to them to enforce the local laws. When the STA draft local law under the 2020 Noosa Plan was put out for consultation key complaints focused on a lack of local management, a lack of complaint resolution and a lack of regulation and enforcement. Cr Wegener said if Council saw it as its role to regulate where short term

accommodation could occur in the Shire and manage its impacts on the amenity of permanent residents then it was the responsibility of Council to retain that amenity. “The responsibility of enforcing the Code of Conduct rests with us,“ he said. Cr Amelia Lorentsen said as STA’s brought money and tourism to the Shire she suggested Council use money obtained through the tourism and economic levy to engage extra staff or contractors to monitor STAs. She said Council could follow the practice of Mornington Peninsula Council which contracts a security firm to go onsite to record data following a complaint. Council CEO Brett de Chastel said under

the current policy money obtained through the tourism and economic levy could only be spent on tourism and economic issues. In October 2019, to manage the ongoing effects of both existing and future short term accommodation Council publicly notified a draft local law for short stay letting. The draft local law was put on hold following public notification, pending the outcome of a state wide approach to managing short stay letting by the Queensland Government. With the advent of Covid-19 however, the matter was deferred. As part of Council’s adoption of Noosa Plan 2020, Council resolved to complete and introduce the local law for short stay letting.

A revised draft local law has now been prepared proposing a number of changes, having considered public submissions, legal advice, stakeholder engagement and internal staff review. The issue of compliance and regulation will be discussed at Council’s General Meeting next Monday along with a raft of amendments proposed to the revised draft local law. Among the amendments proposed is the requirement for home-hosted accommodation to obtain approval under the local law, the removal of body corporate approval for properties to operate STAs in community title schemes and no longer allowing properties with onsite managers to be exempt from the local law.

Zonta Club of Noosa’s International Women’s Day breakfast held at the Boathouse Restaurant on Monday was a standout and sold-out event. After some impressive background music by local musician Emma Tomlinson, the audience was awestruck by the morning’s guest speakers Dr Nova Evans and RN Sonia Goodwin from Sunny Street mobile outreach unit that provides healthcare for homeless and vulnerable individuals and families on the Sunshine Coast. Zonta Noosa president Margaret Fisher said the talented and inspirational women gave a dynamic presentation providing an insight into Sunny Street and the true extent of the challenges faced by the underprivileged in our community. “While homeless men account for the largest demographic, it was heartbreaking to hear that girls and younger women comprise the second biggest group of patients, many as young as eight. Incredibly, some older patients have not seen a doctor for over 30 years,“ she said. 2018 government data indicates that more than 116,000 Australians are homeless, 12 percent of whom are Queensland women. There are 1600 homeless estimated to be on the Sunshine Coast alone with the main causes of homelessness being poverty, unaffordable rents, and family violence.

Ms Fisher said she was excited by the feedback Zonta received on the work they are doing in the Noosa Community. “We see our support for projects like Sunny Street as extremely important. We also provide support to a variety of other community projects including scholarships for girls at our local colleges. It was great to hear two of the young students from Good Shepherd Lutheran College, Natasha Purcell and Katelyn Dyer, speak so eloquently today about the issues facing women in our communities. It was also great to have Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart with us, alongside Cr Amelia Lorentson and Cr Karen Finzel.” IWD is celebrated around the world. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic, or political. The UN declares International Women’s Day as “a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.” For more information visit http://zontadistrict22.org/district-22-clubs/zonta-club-ofnoosa-inc

International Women’s Day was celebrated on Monday by a group of 100 local women who enjoyed lunch at Fish Parkridge whilst listening to a panel of eight inspiring local female leaders. Brought together by Noosa businesswoman Josanne Falla the lunch celebrated women and their tenacity to succeed in the face of bias while raising $4,400 for local charity, Campsite Rescue. ?It is envisaged monies raised from the event will be put towards securing a safe car park space, industrial shed or land for homeless people with access to amenities. Event MC Robyn Cook took the opportunity to explore the theme ‘Dare to Challenge’ by asking panellists how they had ‘dared to challenge’ bias or the status quo in both their personal and professional lives. The resulting

discussion was not only eye opening and inspiring, but at times, shocking. Josanne applauded the panellists. “We are so incredibly fortunate to be able to listen to these powerful women, women who can motivate us all to be courageous in standing up to bullying and bias. They inspire us all to Dare to Challenge,” she said. The panellists included the 2020 Telstra Businesswoman of the Year and current advisor to the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Jeanette Allom-Hill, Mayor Clare Stewart, motivational speaker Catherine Molloy, Noosa LNP Chair Leigh McCready, Noosa Councillor Amelia Lorentson, Year 12 student and domestic violence advocate Angelique Hallett, local entrepreneur Kim Lloyd and former Noosa councillor Ingrid Jackson.

The editor’s desk It’s easy to become complacent living in Noosa where we have a woman as our MP and a woman as our Mayor and believe that women enjoy the same privileges men do. That it’s the first time women have held those roles is what is astounding. On Monday the world celebrated International Women’s Day and the UN marvelled at the unprecedented advances that humankind had made while noting that to date no country had achieved gender equality.Across the world legal restrictions have kept 2.7 billion women from accessing the same choice of jobs as men, less than 25 per cent of parliamentarians were women, as of 2019, and one in three women experience genderbased violence, still. In Noosa IWD was celebrated with social occasions and fundraising not the protests and calls for social reform that led the occasion more than 100 years ago. The first “Women’s Day” was held by American socialists in 1908, marked by protests, and was soon picked up by others worldwide. By 1913, it had reached Russia where one of its founders was Lenin’s wife, Nadya Krupskaya. In recent years the women who most want to protest are forbidden to do so. In the West where women are allowed to protest they don’t.

Ema Basic riding Jum Jum Silver Storm at Strlings Crossing, first across the line in the 85km event and best condition horse in the lightweight division. Picture: SARAH SULLIVAN

Dreams come true It was an emotional ride for Sunshine Coast endurance rider Ema Basic on Jum Jum Silver Storm at Imbil on the weekend. Ema, from Yandina, has made a comeback from a near-fatal injury in 2018 to record her first podium finish. And the horse she was riding, a 14-year-old arab gelding owned and trained by Celeste Manwaring from Cooroy, has also recovered from injury. Ema has been riding since 2015 but after a

kick from a horse three years ago was told she would never ride again. “Mind over matter, I came back in 2019 to ride in endurance as it’s my love and hobby,’’ she said. “Jum Jum has also had five years off with a leg injury. This was his first ride back in the game.’’ The horse and rider were first across the line at the Stirlings Crossing Endurance Club 2021 Starter Event at Imbil on the weekend.

They were also awarded best conditioned horse in the lightweight division. Ema has ridden 2000km competitively and she was always dreaming for a podium finish. “After my hospital stay I made a pact to myself - dream big. “I will be attending the Gobi Desert Cup endurance ride in Mongolia in 2022 - 400km over five days in which 15 entrants from around the world compete on Mongolian horses across the steppes.’’

Cameleers on a long trek to Birdsville A Gympie husband-and-wife duo and their caravan of camels is hitting the road once again, crossing through the North Burnett on their way west to Birdsville. Rob and Bernadette Sutton, a couple in their late 50s, are making the long trek from their hometown to the Simpson Desert on foot - camels and supplies in tow - stopping in towns on the way as they see fit. The Suttons, who were spotted walking with the animals on the side of the Burnett Highway outside Gayndah, said the 1558 kilometre journey to Birdsville on the SA border will take approximately four months. “We’ve only just started out again,“ Mr Sutton explained. “But we’re looking to go through the

[Simpson] Desert once we reach Birdsville,“ he added. The pair rarely announce their trips and simply travel for the fun of it, having first taken to the road around 20 years ago when Rob first purchased a camel, followed by a 4000km trip to Cooktown in 2006. They have since racked up close to 30,000 kilometres in their travels through the country and don’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. Their trek will likely see the Suttons traveling through Mundubbera, followed by a stint in Boondooma in the South Burnett before heading onward through the Western Downs region toward Birdsville. “We’re looking forward to seeing everyone along the way,“ Mr Sutton said.

Vaccine study As Australia rolls out COVID-19 vaccines, psychology researchers at USC Australia are inviting the public to share their views on how they feel about receiving them or not. Dr Karina Rune and Dr Jacob Keech have launched an online survey Investigating Attitudes and Beliefs about COVID-19 Vaccines in Australia, and aim to gather as many varied responses as possible to assemble a snapshot of public sentiment on the topic. Dr Rune said findings from the survey at this critical point in the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines could help inform communication campaigns that encourage greater uptake across the country. “To date, there has been a lot of discussion around the vaccines, but not as much detail provided to the public on the rigour of the scientific process involved in their development,” Dr Rune said. “For example, it might be that people are concerned about the speed with which the vaccine was developed, even though we know that the vaccines have demonstrated the high level of scientific rigour and testing required for full approval by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.” Dr Keech said their current study was based on a recent questionnaire completed by a diverse range of respondents from the Sunshine Coast, which has one of the lowest rates of vaccination uptake generally in Australia. The researchers plan to follow up those who participate once vaccines have been sufficiently rolled out across Australia to understand how early sentiment relates to the actual vaccine uptake. The survey is available at https://psychologyhealthresearch.com/

Noosa Council is keen to hear the community’s views on the revised draft local law for short stay letting and home hosted accommodation. “As part of Council’s adoption of Noosa Plan 2020, Council resolved to prepare and introduce the local law for short stay letting,” “The revised draft local law includes a number of changes from previous consultation, so we are now ready to conduct another five-week stakeholder engagement period in April,” said Acting Director Environment and Sustainable Development Anthony Dow. This week’s Planning and Environment Committee meeting will consider an agenda item to approve community consultation for a draft local law. Mr Dow said Council welcomes feedback from all interested stakeholders. “Staff will review the submissions and a final version of the Short stay letting Local Law will be tabled for adoption later this year,” Mr Dow said.

Drug blitz By Abbey Cannan

Sunshine Coast Detective Senior Sergeant Daren Edwards speaking about the investigation into indecent assaults at Pacific Paradise.

Search for creep By Abbey Cannan Two young women living together on the Sunshine Coast have woken to find an unknown man kneeling beside their beds touching them. Police are appealing for public assistance regarding the two recent cases of indecent assault following break-ins at Pacific Paradise. At 1.50am on February 17, a woman in her 20’s woke up to a man touching her inappropriately. After the she woke, the man ran from the house and the woman reported the frightening experience to police. Sunshine Coast Detective Senior Sergeant

Daren Edwards said police believe the man lives in the area. “He’s gone to some length to target that place again,“ he said. In the second break-in at the same home on March 7 at 11.20pm, another woman in her 20’s woke to find a man inappropriately touching her while she lay in her bed. She screamed before chasing the man out of the house and phoning police. “We’re looking at someone who has just moved into that area around February perhaps,“ Senior Sgt Edwards said. “If there are other incidents at other areas that have gone unreported, please bring that

information forward to police. “I would certainly suggest that it’s probably not the only place he’s targeted and this is a warning to other residents there to take some more security measures.“ Initial investigations suggest the man forced entry to the home via windows on both occasions. The man is described as Caucasian in appearance, about six-foot-tall, aged in his twenties with shoulder length curly brown hair. Anyone with information, CCTV or dash cam vision of suspicious activity from the Karome Street area is urged to come forward.

Lives lost on Queensland roads reach 50 Fifty people have lost their lives on Queensland roads after just 64 days, compared to 32 lives lost in the same period last year, as police continue to target dangerous behaviours of motorists. Of the fifty people, 19 motorcyclists have lost their lives compared to six across the same period last year. Acting Chief Superintendent Ray Rohweder has expressed his disappointment at the lack of responsibility drivers are showing on our roads. “Every day our officers see people making reckless decisions on our roads,” he said. “While police are on our roads deterring people from committing offences, it’s up to you to be accountable for your actions.

“Whether it’s making better decisions while driving or preventing your mates from getting behind a wheel, responsibility to make our roads a safer place starts with you.” It’s not only people taking risks that affect their own lives but also the lives of others. Just after 6pm on Sunday 28 February, a speeding driver was detected on the Ipswich Motorway at Wacol and was intercepted by police. On closer inspection of the vehicle, a seven-year-old girl was observed wedged behind the passenger seat of a single cab ute. “It’s this type of behaviour that would have catastrophic consequences if the driver crashed,” Acting Chief Superintendent Rohweder said.

“What makes this exceptionally selfish is the driver took the decision of the girl’s safety out of her hands.” Police will continue to patrol roads across Queensland to deter dangerous and reckless behaviours on our roads. Last weekend alone has seen 100 drivers detected for drink driving and 84 detected with drugs in their system. Since Operation Tango Anaconda began on March 1, 1,948 drug tests have been conducted with 297 drivers testing positive. Officers from the Road Policing Task Force are also conducting enforcement activities across regional roads targeting heavy vehicles, speed, fatigue, drink, drug and distracted driving.

Thirteen people tested positive for drug driving in an overnight blitz by the Sunshine Coast police as part of Operation Tango Anaconda. A total of 726 vehicles were intercepted as police diverted all northbound motorists off the Bruce Highway near the Glass House Mountains between 9pm Tuesday and 1am Wednesday. Acting Inspector Paul Algie expressed disappointment at the results from the operation so far. “On average, we’re still seeing one in every five drivers return positive results for drug driving,” he said. “If you’re driving with a drug in your system, you’re 10 times more likely to be responsible for a crash. Every decision you make on our roads has a consequence. “No matter where you are in Queensland, you can expect to see us.” Twenty random drug tests were conducted with 13 people testing positive. Ten of those were also found to be in possession of drugs, while three drink drivers were also detected. In addition to targeting drug driving offences, officers from the state’s Road Policing Task Force are working with local police to detect other dangerous driving behaviours on regional Queensland roads. While patrolling the Warrego Highway, officers detected a motorist travelling 136km/h through a 110km/h zone. The 62-year-old man submitted a roadside drug test returning a positive result. The roadside saliva-based sample tests for THC, methylamphetamine and MDMA.

Court for Save Yaroomba A contingent of Coast residents visited Brisbane on Wednesday 10 March to observe the Supreme Court hearing of their Appeal to save Yaroomba from a significant high-rise development. Spokesperson for the Save Yaroomba campaign, Kathryn Hyman, said it was a relief to finally have their day in Court. “In the past six months our volunteers have launched a GoFundMe page for donations, produced two videos, held events including a traffic impact display, a silent art auction, a trivia night, numerous sausage sizzles and sold merchandise at markets, plus run a social media and news media campaign,“ she said. “All of this was to raise the $100,000 needed for legal fees. We are close to our target, but still have a gap to fill.” A Council map of submissions received for and against the high-density urban develop-

on Page 871 of Council’s internal documents recently published under a Right to Information request.

Ms Hyman said the Save Yaroomba campaigners have been called a ‘noisy minority’ and generally disparaged in public by Sekisui and its supporters. “But we are far from that, and the Council map paints the picture quite clearly,“ she said. “The ratio of objections was three to one out of more than 12,000 submissions which was a record. “We want the Coast community to grasp that these written submissions were ignored by their Council, the planning department was ignored, the Town Plan was ignored and the project was approved. “Now we place full trust in our legal team and the Court of Appeals in Brisbane’s Supreme Court. Then the wait begins, as it could take several nail-biting months for the Court’s decision to be known.”

First COVID jabs delivered on Sunshine Coast “I want to thank those individuals receiving the vaccine in this initial phase for setting a fantastic example for the rest of our community.” Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said protecting those most at risk of exposure to the virus will make a significant difference in keeping everyone safe. “We want all eligible Queenslanders to have the best possible protection from COVID-19,” Dr Young said. “So, when you get the vaccine, it means your symptoms will be less severe compared to someone who isn’t vaccinated. “There’s still a long road ahead of us but I know together we can achieve big things and

Minister for Health Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Yvette D’Ath said it was another momentous occasion for the state. “We expect 125,000 Queenslanders will be offered the vaccine in the very first phase of the vaccine’s rollout, prioritising those who are the most at risk of exposure to the virus,” Ms D’Ath said. “Our vaccine journey is just beginning and the next step on that journey starts here today on the Sunshine Coast.

I will be ready to roll up my sleeve, when it’s my turn.“ Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service Chief Executive Adjunct Professor Naomi Dwyer said it was a privilege to follow suit in the state’s largest coordinated vaccination effort. “This is history in the making and to be part of the first phase of rollout is very special,” Adj Prof Dywer said. “We’ve got our processes and systems ready for this vaccine, and our staff are lining up and keen for the jab.” Member for Caloundra Jason Hunt said that the administration of the first vaccination on the Sunshine Coast was an important

step in keeping the community safe. “I’m thrilled to see the Sunshine Coast University Hospital starting their first phase of the COVID-19 vaccination program,” he said. “This is such an important step forward for our community and all of Queensland. Member for Nicklin Robert Skelton said that people on the Sunshine Coast could stay up to date with the vaccine’s rollout on the COVID-19 Queensland Government website. “We’ll be keeping the community up to date as we ramp up the vaccine rollout progressively,” Mr Skelton said.

Battle to save the glossies

CWA Tewantin ladies at the stall.

CWA help homeless The Tewantin-Noosa Branch of the Country Women’s Association fed hungry school children, Council staff and passing construction workers with delicious and nutritious baked goods displayed beautifully outside CWA Hall in Tewantin last week. “Craft items such as handmade tea towels, knitted blankets and baby clothes alongside embroidered toilet roll dolls and coat hangers made a colourful array on an overcast morning where clouds threatened but couldn’t stop the long-standing and popular local tradition going ahead,” CWA vice-president Leigh McCready said. “Several times each year, local CWA members hold stalls to raise money for local charities, with this stall’s proceeds of $818 going to Campsite Rescue, a charitable humanitarian

organisation that provides basic needs to the homeless the vulnerable and at-risk families on the Sunshine Coast.” “We’d love to welcome new members who are interested in joining us the Tewantin-Noosa CWA at our monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of the month at 1pm, but we are also looking to offer social events to connect working women after hours.” “We also have weekly craft sessions on Thursday mornings from 9am at the Hall, where women of any experience level can bring a project along and receive tips or assist other women become more skilled.“ For further information visit https://www.facebook. com/CWATewantin. For further information on Campsite Rescue visit https://campsiterescue.org/

From page 1 “The forest they want to clear is one of the most significant feeding, drinking, roosting and flocking sites observed on the Sunshine Coast. The glossy black cockatoo is listed as vulnerable and we need to save their food trees if we want to save them. I am asking the Uniting Church to be true to their word. In their own brochure ‘For the Sake of the Planet’ they said ‘It makes good economic and political sense to spend money ensuring the long-term wellbeing of our natural world - there can be no security for humanity without a healthy ecosystem. “We need the Uniting Church to come and talk to our Council so we can find a better location for an aged-care facility that doesn’t threaten the survival of the vulnerable glossy black cockatoo.“ Desiree said the group told Cr Stewart there was too much uncertainty surrounding the success of offset planting of the Glossies’ feed trees and no science to prove it would work. “This area also has cultural significance to the Indigenous people of this land, yet they have not been consulted about the destruction that is about to rip through their land,“ she said. Cr Stewart said that Council would be willing to meet with the Church to discuss options, but that the initial approach would have to come from their side since all Council approvals had been granted. Desiree said the group understood that approvals were made based on a historical decision to allocate that land to community use, and that the initial approval was granted by the amalgamated Sunshine Coast Council more than ten years ago. “Many things have changed in our local and global community, since the initial approval was granted by another Council,“ she said. “Our knowledge has grown on the impacts of habitat destruction which leads to loss of biodiversity and extinction of spe-

cies, especially vulnerable species like the Glossy Black-Cockatoo who rely on this habitat for their survival. “Our community is asking the Uniting Church to please listen to our community. We do not support this development on this highly biodiverse land which is crucial to the survival of many different species including Glossy-Black Cockatoos, Koalas, Ground Parrots and many rare plant species as well. “We are asking the Uniting Church decision makers to join us on a walk as our Mayor has done, so that we can show you what you are destroying before it is too late for all of us and our planet.“ However a Blue Care spokesman said they had “been greatly encouraged by the overwhelming support of the greater Noosa community for the development of this much needed community service at Sunrise Beach“. “We’re very pleased to deliver this new 102 bed Residential Aged Care Home as Stage 1 of the Sunrise Beach Integrated Development in partnership with Lendlease who has been appointed as the Development Manager of the Retirement Living village,“ he said. “The built-environment of Blue Care Sunrise Beach will deliver all of the benefits of Blue Care’s ‘Tailor Made’ care model for prospective residents, and will be the first purpose-built aged care home in Australia for this model of care that includes COVID-19 safe elements. “The Blue Care project team has worked alongside expert ecologists and Noosa Shire Council to agree an Ecological Management Plan (EMP) which will protect and enhance the local natural environment for generations to come.“ To sign the petition to save the glossies habitat visit www.change.org/p/unitingchurch-australia-save-our-sunrise-glossyblack-cockatoos

Care reform welcomed By Margaret Maccoll When the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety report was released last month it admitted its examination of systemic problems in the aged care system painted “a gloomy picture” that required “significant change”. “Many of the people and institutions in the aged care sector want to deliver the best possible care to older people, but are overwhelmed, underfunded or out of their depth,” the report stated. In its recommendations for a new aged care system moving forward the report called for a new Act, a new purpose and new principles that “placed people at the centre of aged care” and was based on the “entitlement” to the support and care required by each individual. After seeing numerous reviews in her 22 years in the industry Noosa Care CEO Megan D’Elton said she felt positive this Royal Commission would bring changes to improve the industry. “So many people have been affected by neglect and abuse,” she said. “We want to see change. We want people to be held accountable.” Ms D’Elton said while Noosa Care prided itself on the exceptional care it gave its residents and their facilities did not have a systemic problem, everybody in the industry was “tarred with the same brush”. “We’re all put into a category that we are all abusers,” she said. “That’s been hard for staff to read. We have to help staff work through that. We know our community can trust in us and we have a good

A pre-feed station used to lure the pigs.

Real time imagery tackles feral pig problem Noosa Care CEO Megan D’Elton reputation. They are delivering care and forming special relationships.” Ms D’Elton said the report had raised issues she had previously acknowledged that staff in aged care were generally underpaid and under-resourced. She said while Noosa Care paid above award wages she would like to see additional funding to increase their hourly rate. Ms D’Elton said a cultural change was needed that involved the whole community. “It’s important we have education for the public,” she said. The changes will not be immediate, however with the Commission indicating the recommendations be adopted through a five-year plan.

Real time imagery has played a pivotal role in dealing with a significant feral pig problem at Noosa’s Northshore Landing strip. Council’s Pest Management crew was called in amid growing concerns over damage being done to the airstrip and nearby properties. Pest and Vector officer Jason Sherriff and Land Protection Officer Cameron Jackson set up monitoring cameras and created a pre-feed station to lure the pigs to a location away from the airstrip. After a week of pre-feeding, the full extent of the pig problem had been identified and a trap installed. Within two days of installing an electronic “Jager” pig trapping system, they captured and removed 15 pigs, including three boars each weighing in excess of 100kgs. Environmental Services Manager Craig Doolan said the technology is a game changer in dealing with feral pests. “Council first introduced the trapping system in 2017, because it’s a much safer

option for our officers and usually results in a quick resolution to feral pig problems by reducing entire populations rather than individuals. “Using real time images, they are sent to the officer’s mobile phone where he can remotely activate to reset or close the trap with a simple texted code.” Mr Doolan said. Feral pigs are one of Queensland’s worst vertebrate pets and can do enormous environmental and economic damage, if not effectively managed. “Council works closely with landholders across the shire to control feral pigs on private and public land,” he said. Council currently owns two “Jager” traps which are in constant use throughout the shire. Since the initial capture, the Landing Strip trap has captured a further three solitary boars over the past four days. The trap will remain active for about another week to ensure the issue has been resolved”, he said.

Truck disregard Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart has called on Kin Kin Quarry operator Cordwell Resources to rethink its decision to send trucks through Cooran during school peak periods. After a significant increase in trucks driving through Cooran recently, Council approached Cordwells requesting that they avoid truck movements near the school during school drop off and pick-up times. “The reply was an emphatic no which is disappointing,” she said. “As a good corporate citizen, we had hoped that they would put people ahead of profits, but sadly that doesn’t appear to be the case,” Cr Stewart said. The request comes as Council issue another round of $27,000 fines for alleged breaches of the Quarry Management Plan, relating to truck movements. It takes the total in fines to $133,450 over a six-month period. Cordwell Resources are appealing the fines. The latest roundtable meeting was held at council on Wednesday (March 3) and as the truck activity increases on hinterland roads, so too does the concern and frustration in the hinterland community. Cr Stewart said the alleged breaches over truck movements are strengthening the resolve of all concerned.

Irish heritage

There has been a significant increase in trucks driving through Cooran due to the Kin Kin Quarry. “We remain united in doing what we can to address this issue,” she said. “Cordwells will continue to challenge the fines, but we will continue to issue them for alleged breaches because they have a corporate obligation to do the right thing under the QMP,” she said. “Residents are continuing to gather evidence in proposed legal action against the operator, and their efforts remain pivotal to the success of any legal challenge. “It’s an ongoing example of a communitycouncil partnership working to deliver a positive outcome for all concerned,” Cr Stewart added. Instigated by Mayor Stewart in August last year, the roundtable includes members from

hinterland community groups, Queensland Police, Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, Council staff and officers from Transport and Main Roads. Member for Noosa, Sandy Bolton has written to the Premier and relevant state government departments demanding further action for the safety of residents. Cr Stewart said “The ongoing impact of more than 200 truck movements daily at times means this issue remains a priority for all of us. We are awaiting the engineer assessments of the haul route and timber bridges by Transport and Main Roads,” she said. “There has been considerable progress since our first roundtable meeting last August and the united approach is the most effective route to find workable solutions.”

The conference message - share the waves and keep smiling.

Promoting safe surfing More than 20 representatives of local surfing groups and water safety authorities agreed at a Noosa Council roundtable last week to seek self-managed solutions to the growing problems of over-crowded surf breaks. The conference, convened by Noosa Council in conjunction with the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, and chaired by Council CEO Brett de Chastel, was almost unanimous in its decision to develop a code of conduct covering all kinds of surfcraft used on the numerous point and beach breaks within the World Surfing Reserve. In his opening remarks Mr de Chastel emphasised that despite a recent focus on the perceived dangers of fast-moving prone foils in crowded breaks, an effective code would have to include all forms of surfing. He said that Council’s role was not to regulate or enforce but to listen to the ideas and the solutions presented by the surfing community itself.

Noosa World Surfing Reserve president Phil Jarratt said that while bans had been placed on the use of foils at high-density beaches in recent years from Bondi to Biarritz and beyond, most of them had failed to solve the problem and had been phased out or moderated to busy seasons and selected sections of beach. “We don’t want to see bans or any other regulations placed on the use of non-motorised surfcraft within the Noosa World Surfing Reserve, but it’s up to us to promote behavioural change within our own surfing groups before the situation worsens. And this applies to longboarders not using leg ropes in crowded breaks as much as it does to anyone else, foilers included.” Kite-surfing representative Mat Colefax pointed to the success of a code of conduct introduced for kite-surfers using the Noosa river mouth more than 15 years ago. He was

backed up by Noosa lifeguard Isaac Smith who said that dangerous practices and injuries caused by that cohort disappeared “almost overnight”. “To me that showed that a code can be effective in changing behaviour if it’s adopted by the group leaders and the best surfers and passed down the line.” Noosa Boardriders Club president Paul Peterson argued that no code of conduct would work unless it was enforced by locals, but others, including risk management consultant Nat Bromley, countered that education could get the message across effectively and more politely. There was general consensus that overcrowding in the surf was the driving force behind anger and frustration that sometimes led to physical incidents, and a code of conduct would have to outline a different approach to sharing waves.

Guy Schroeder, representing the prone foiling community, said that foilers were already doing that, by focusing on using parts of the wave not used by other surfers, and by foiling when conditions were unsuitable for boardriding. The two surfing councillors present, Cr Amelia Lorentson and Cr Tom Wegener, both argued for greater awareness across all groups of surfers of the public safety aspects, but Cr Lorentson said that the conference should focus on making the conduct code “fact-based rather than fear-based”. Cr Wegener also noted that, given the fastincreasing number of female surfers in Noosa, a heavily male gender imbalance should be addressed before the next conference. The Safe Surfing conference will reconvene to create a template for a code of conduct later this month.

Wishlist Centre to address shortage One of the Sunshine Coast’s most respected charity organisations, Wishlist, has revealed its plans to deliver a four-level transitionary care facility in a prime location directly adjacent to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH). The project is supported by a grant of $12 million under the Australian Government’s 2019-20 Budget Measures, announced by Federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace in March 2019. After years of planning, Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe could not be more excited to share the details of this significant project for the local hospital foundation. “On completion, Wishlist Centre (Stage One) accommodation will support more patients and families/carers who may not otherwise be able to afford to stay close to Sunshine Coast hospitals during their ongoing hospital treatment or before or after treatment,“ Ms Rowe said. “Our Gympie residents travel the greatest distance to access Sunshine Coast hospitals and have the highest chronic disease levels. Over 74 percent of hospital patient referrals to our existing accommodation, Reed House and Wishlist House, reside in the Gympie Region. These patients have limited access to local health services and are experiencing financial distress or are often too sick to travel after treatment. “More than accommodation, the facility will be supported by not-for-profit, the public and private sectors offering a circle-of-care to patients and their families. We are currently seeking expressions of interest from like-

minded commercial partners for our ground floor tenancies, specifically in the medical, allied health and specialist services categories. “The circle-of-care will be Wishlist Centre’s point of difference, a consistent approach to care for our patients and families through every touch-point. We want our guests to feel supported, physically, spiritually, emotionally and psychologically. We will have experienced volunteers on-site, supported by the Wishlist team’s vast knowledge and strong relationships with hospital staff, working collaboratively with community partners who provide services that share our vision of a healing and supportive environment for patients and their families beyond the hospital bed.“ Andrew Wallace MP, Federal Member for Fisher, who has been involved with the project from inception, said that the facility would be a big win for the Sunshine Coast and surrounding areas when it opens in late 2022. “It is hard not to be passionate about the need for patient and family accommodation in our community, especially when you see first-hand the stress a health crisis places on a family. For those who are travelling from rural or remote areas, it can be a lifeline,“ Mr Wallace said. “Wishlist Centre will lighten the load financially and emotionally for patients receiving ongoing lengthy treatment and provide services that support their families. I am proud to have been able to deliver $12 million in funding to get this project off the ground.“ Brisbane couple Kyla and Jesse Winika experienced the benefit of using transitionary care accommodation first-hand when Kyla

had complications in her pregnancy during their first wedding anniversary celebrations on the Sunshine Coast. “I went into premature labour with baby Amaya, and because we live in Redcliffe, we were faced with having our baby at SCUH and being 75 kilometres away from home and our families,“ Ms Winika said. “Wishlist House (located a kilometre from SCUH) allowed us to stay close to SCUH, for our families to provide support and was a comfortable space for me to recover in after the birth. We are very supportive of Wishlist Centre, particularly because of the proximity to SCUH. It will allow more patients and their families, like us, the ease in travelling back and forth from the hospital.”In addition to the 20room transitionary care accommodation and support services, there will be opportunities in Wishlist Centre (Stage One) for patients, families, health professionals and the local community to assist with health research, handson clinical training and social enterprise. Wishlist Centre (Stage One) will start construction in mid-2021 and complement the two existing accommodation facilities owned and operated by Wishlist - Reed House adjacent to Nambour General Hospital and Wishlist House located within a kilometre of the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. Visit www.wishlistcentre.org.au for more information on Wishlist Centre (Stage One) to partner, tender or provide financial support to allow more patients and their families stay close during treatment at Sunshine Coast hospitals.

Jampacked week Queensland Women’s Week 2021 (QWW) kicked off on Monday with a jam-packed program of events aimed at celebrating Queensland women and girls and supporting them after a challenging 2020. Minister for Women and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence Shannon Fentiman said this year’s QWW was more important than ever as Queenslanders need to do all they can to recognise the achievements of women and girls. “We know women were disproportionately impacted by COVID; their economic security was hit hard,“ she said. “Women endured the double impact of working in many of the continuing frontline jobs such as health care and cleaning and being concentrated in industries most impacted by shutdowns such as retail and hospitality.” The theme for this year’s Queensland Women’s Week is ‘Celebrate our present. Own our future’, acknowledging the achievements of women in a year that was heavily impacted by the risks and challenges of COVID-19, as the community strives to move forward. Tragically the COVID-19 pandemic has also seen an increase in violence against with almost one in 10 women in a relationship experienced domestic violence during the COVID crisis, with two-thirds saying attacks started or became worse.

The price of ink regret By Margaret Maccoll Tattoo regret is so real in Noosa that tattooed locals are each week visiting tattooists to have their tattoos remodelled or tattoo removalists to have them erased. Tattoos have been recorded in use by civilisations for various reasons for about 5000 years. In recent years they have become increasingly popular and more socially acceptable in western culture and whether people get them as a dare, a form of body art, to signify a particular event, a loved one or to identify with a particular group many discover the forever art just isn’t for them. Tattoo Junction owner Karl Swallow is asked once or twice a week for a tattoo redo. The tattooist said the most common reason was to change the name of an ex-partner. “If they want a name we always advise to get kids or family names,“ he said. Karl said there were a few other common reasons people want their tattoos redone. They may have a skull or dragon they had done when they were young that they no longer want. Others come with poorly executed tattoos or poor quality tattoos, often done overseas, or they just want a change. “We can cover up pretty much everything,“ he said. Karl said the redo generally needs to be larger than the original, although some people first have their tattoos lasered to fade or remove them before a redo. Removing tattoos by laser is a full time occupation for Alex Dalitz of Out of Space Tattoo Removal and while a large portion of his customers want a tattoo faded or removed before a tattoo redo there are many more reasons why people want tattoos removed. The process involves using a laser to shatter the tattoo pigment injected into the dermal layer of the skin which breaks up and makes its way to the lymphatic system to

Others just simply don’t like it anymore. They got it when they were younger or styles have changed.“ Alex sees ex-prisoners who want amateur tattoos received in prison removed and he provides a service for juveniles who want to get rid of a tattoo that was poor judgement at the time. Some people have medical tattoos they no longer need and others want a tattoo removed in order to obtain a particular job, he said.

Karl Swallow covered up an unwanted devil and angel tattoo with some beautiful flowers. Alex said tattoo removal had improved over the years but some colours were easier to remove than others, it can take a number of laser sessions to fade or remove a tattoo, not all tattoos can be removed and the process does hurt. He said there are many variables including the type of ink, its composition, its depth in the skin that determine the success of removal. “If getting a tattoo is five out of 10 (on the pain scale), removal is seven out of 10,“ he said. A study in the British Journal of Dermatology that surveyed almost 600 people aged 1677 with tattoos at the Royal Blackburn Hospital found almost 40 per cent of those surveyed regretted their tattoos but for most their regret came almost 20 years after getting the tattoo.

The study found males were more likely to regret their tattoos and the likelihood of regret increased if they were very young when they acquired them. Tattoos on the upper body readily visible to others were the tattoos most likely to be regretted. A poll conducted in 2012 in the US by Pollster Harris Interactive showed 14 per cent of the 20 per cent of people in America with a tattoo regretted having it while a Danish study found 20 per cent of people were dissatisfied with their tattoos. The tattoos most regretted by the Danes were those of images or names of loved ones or those acquired while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The studies show that like people around the world a significant number of Noosa locals who acquire a tattoo will end up regretting their decision.

Launch of pilot to pay farmers for biodiversity Farmers in six different trial regions have the chance to diversify their farm income and improve their drought resilience as part of a new Australian Government trial launched on Friday. Speaking from Bunya Grove Produce in Amamoor south of Gympie, Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud said the Carbon+Biodiversity pilot, being delivered under the government’s Agricultural Stewardship Package, will see farmers being paid for biodiversity benefits of mixed-species tree plantings as part of their carbon projects. “Farmers have been doing biodiversity and carbon work for decades and it’s time they were paid for it,“ he said. “They can already participate in carbon markets under the Emissions Reduction Fund, but today we will start trialling a new approach that will also see them paid for the

biodiversity benefits they deliver. “We don’t want to lock up land - we want this work to go hand in hand with a productive farming enterprise. Our farmers produce some of the best food and fibre in the world and we want to reward them for delivering positive outcomes for the community, while also improving the financial sustainability of their own farm business. “I don’t care who believes in climate change or how much, because I know farmers believe in economics and numbers. Farmers can be part of the solution and this pilot will prove that.” As part of the pilot, the Australian National University has created the processes and protocols that measure and reward farmers for undertaking the plantings, delivering a system which will be respected by international markets.

ANU Professor Andrew Macintosh said planting blocks or shelterbelts of 20 metres or wider using one of the lists of native plant species created for this pilot would see farmers paid for both biodiversity and carbon gains. “The system delivers rewards for farmers that are achieving measurable biodiversity gains,” Professor Macintosh said. “If planting areas include mature trees, are near watercourses, or provide good habitat for threatened species, this gives the project a higher biodiversity benefit score. If a bushfire comes through and the trees do not naturally regenerate, the farmer is expected to replant but does not need to pay any money back.” Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O’Brien said the pilot program had potential to deliver a win-win solution for

farmers and the land. “We know that Wide Bay farmers like Bunya Grove Produce’s Mick and Kylie Carr love the land, they look after it, and they understand it better than anyone,” Mr O’Brien said. “This program offers a unique opportunity to support the work they are already doing, and build upon it, in a way that will benefit biodiversity, the environment and future generations.” Cattle Council CEO Travis Tobin said nearly 80 per cent of Australia’s agricultural land is cattle country, and beef producers have indicated biodiversity is a priority for them. “Cattle Council supports opportunities to diversify farm income while improving onfarm biodiversity. “This pilot is for producers that want to be rewarded for their environmental work and it respects the producer’s right to choose.”

Hungry to learn Noosa District State High School 2001 graduate Zane Hacker visited his former school this week and ran a workshop on writing for a Year 9 English class. Chef and food author, Mr Hacker has worked a number of stints over the past decade in Antarctica, feeding the scientists and researchers based in Australian camps on the frozen continent. Mr Hacker assisted the students with their short story assignment by providing the class with an informative and educational lesson on his Antarctic experience and the writing process he undertook to write his memoir. He spoke to the students about the importance of writing every day in order to retain memories. “In Antarctica, I would keep a diary and write down everything, be it a page or simply a few sentences,“ Mr Hacker said. He advised the class to read widely to become better writers.

Journalist recalls most bizarre law cases Noosa District State High School 2012 graduate Lexi Kehl spoke to Year 12 Social and Community Studies students about her life postschool, including working in the world of law. This semester the Year 12 students are completing two units of work on legal studies, and they enjoyed discovering some of the realities of criminal law through Ms Kehl’s anecdotes. She completed a Bachelor of Journalism at the Queensland University of Technology in 2017, embarking on a career in the journalism industry for a few years; work with Channel 7 Sunshine Coast and Channel 9 News (regional) as a producer and reporter, before a change in career direction. Ms Kehl advised the Year 12 students to make wise choices about their careers and university studies. “If you don’t like the degree, it’s a big waste of money. You could end up with a huge HECs debt for nothing,” Ms Kehl said. Ms Kehl used her journalism training to work as a PA and media advisor for a criminal defence barrister and discovered she had a fascination with the law. A Bachelor of Law at QUT seemed like the logical choice for Ms Kehl at the time, and she enrolled in the degree while working full time. This new job led to Ms Kehl meeting some questionable types of people, but inadvertently, it also set her up to meet her partner who was working as a journalist covering a rape trial involving a police officer who Ms Kehl’s barrister was representing in court. “It was a pretty unusual way to meet a partner, but we’ve been together ever since,” Ms Kehl said. Ms Kehl shared the details of some of the most bizarre cases she researched, including some drug-affected criminals who locked their mate in a freezer and forgot about him, and the infamous Tostee Tinder date matter. Now working for the Queensland Law Society as a PR & Media Executive, her career has

I could see myself doing this forever,” Ms Kehl said. Ms Kehl advised the students who were considering a career in law to develop a thick skin fast and to realise there are very bad, mentally ill people walking around within society. “I was a bit naive at first, thinking that everyone is good. They are certainly not,” Ms Kehl said. The students found the presentation to be highly interesting and engaging, with Year 12 student Luca Thomas commenting that the presentation made law come alive for him. “Lexi has made the law feel pretty real for us all now. It’s different to reading about it in a textbook,” Year 12 student Luca Thomas said.

Lexi Kehl spoke to Year 12 Social and Community Studies students.

A teacher pledge Noosa District State High School Sport Coordinator Ron Greentree has pledged to shave his head next Friday if the school raises $1000 to support the Leukaemia Foundation’s Shave for a Cure. Mr Greentree’s wife, Eumundi State School teacher Colleen Greentree, was diagnosed with breast cancer last November and has started to receive treatment that has resulted in the loss of her hair. Mr Greentree addressed the Year 11 cohort at their parade this morning and passionately implored the students to support his fundraising efforts. “My wife found losing her hair a very traumatic experience, and I want to do something to show my support,“ he said. “I really like my hair too, so I won’t shave it off unless $1000 is raised by next Friday.“ The annual Shave for the Cure event raises funds for medical research into finding a cure for blood cancer. Leukaemia diagnosis is fairly commonplace with 4527 new cases diagnosed in 2020; many NDSHS students and staff have personally witnessed the toll cancer has on those battling it and the sense of despair and helplessness experienced by close families and friends. The staff and students at NDSHS, upon hearing about Mr Greentree’s wife’s cancer journey are keen to support the cause. “I felt I really needed to do something this year,“ Mr Greentree said. Year 10 Deputy Principal Timothy Robinson announced at the Year 10 parade that he would donate $100 towards Mr Greentree’s cause. You can help Mr Greentree reach this goal by making a donation at the NDSHS front office. “Even the smallest donation would mean a lot, but could mean the world to those affected by cancer,“ Mr Greentree said.

Noosa gets cleaned up By Margaret Maccoll By foot, by boat and even scuba diving, volunteers ventured into the rivers and lakes and roamed the land and islands to collect rubbish on Clean Up Australia Day last Sunday. Artist Maureen (Mo) Riggs headed to the mouth of the Noosa River while the tide was high about 6am Sunday morning with her scuba gear and collected fishing tackle, plastic waste and even a mobile phone below the surface. Mo said she would use the material collected in an art installation she planned to create for the Floating Land exhibition in October. NICA volunteer Peter Hunnam was thrilled to have the biggest turnout ever at the Tewantin boat ramp clean up site with representatives from Tewantin State School, Ozfish, Unitywater and Tangaroa Blue Foundation, an Australia-wide not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the removal and prevention of marine debris. The team separated the rubbish and Peter collated the haul to add to ongoing data which he will share with students once completed. Peter said finding rubbish at different locations provided a connection for students to understand how the rubbish arrived there. Rubbish found next to the boat ramp came from someone in a boat chucking it out and some from the stormwater drain washed there from neighbouring streets. It shows where we have to do some things better, Peter said. Tewantin State School deputy principal Rick Cass said it was the fourth year of participation for school students with their biggest turnout of about 40 students and their parents. Mr Cass said since 2017 the school had become very involved in environmental education and practical programs including the annual clean up. Through their cash for cans program the

They replaced plastic bags with bags they made out of old tee-shirts and have transformed a dead space in the school with a permaculture and native bee centre. And over the years they have been recognised for the achievements, having won a number of awards in the Sunshine Coast Council’s Kids in Action environmental program, Mr Cass said.

A rough ride for turtles By Margaret Maccoll Only about three per cent of turtle nests hatch during daylight hours so it was a rare occurrence last week when a Double Island Point resident spotted some hatchlings making their frantic dash to the ocean on Noosa North Shore. The resident stopped their car and flagged down oncoming 4WDs so the hatchlings could make their way safely to the ocean. Cooloola Coast Care president Randy Owen said this was the second year the group had monitored turtle nests from Rainbow to Inskip Point where there had this season been 34 turtle nests but little was known about the turtle nesting on Noosa North Shore. “There’s about a dozen nests we know of there. We don’t patrol the beach regularly but we encourage people if they see turtles to take photos and send GPS coordinates. We have a couple of volunteers who make the trip to watch the nests if they’re close to running,“ he said. Randy said group members found one nest below the high tide line and moved it to higher ground and two women chased away a goanna snacking on a nest and managed to lead six or seven turtles safely to the ocean. Turtle researcher of 50 years Dr Col Limpus told the group any data they could record on the turtles nesting from Sandy Cape to Noosa North Shore would be valuable. The volunteers are trained at Mon Repos

A hatchling makes the journey to the ocean. Turtle Centre to monitor the turtles. “It takes a lot of work to dig up a nest,“ Randy said. Last week when they dug up a nest they discovered out of its 152 turtle eggs 141 turtles had survived. “This nest was just down on the high tide mark. It would have had hundreds of vehicles drive over it,“ he said. Randy said the nest was 60cm or deeper and because of its large size and depth would have been made by a big turtle. “There were car tracks right next to the nest.

The hatchlings struggled to climb up the tyre tracks and kept falling backwards.“ Randy said the turtles climb on top of each other as they make their way to the top of the nest before making the run to the ocean together. “In 20 minutes it’s all over. It’s a tough ride for them,“ he said. With loggerheads listed an endangered species and green turtles threatened Randy said the group’s volunteers records of the turtles, their nests and the unhatched and undeveloped eggs remaining after the run formed an

important part of their data collection. He said the small hatchlings have enough energy to paddle to the water and swim out until they reach the currents where they float on their journey across the oceans, eating what comes their way. About 30 years later they return to lay their own eggs on the same beach. Only about one in a thousand turtles makes it to maturity, he said. The Department of Environment and Science issued a warning last Friday to drivers on the beach to be aware of hatchling emerging from their nests. Drivers should also be aware that taking their vehicle above the high tide mark or into dunes increases the risk of driving over turtle nests, compacting nests and causing erosion leading to loss of eggs, they said. Randy urged motorists particularly those on the beach at night to keep an eye out for hatchlings or turtles looking for a place to nest. “Kill the headlights and just wait,“ he said. “Lights will spook (the adults). If they don’t find a place to lay their eggs they may not lay them. If they see hatchlings just stop and warn others.“ The hatchlings are attracted to light, a reflection of the moon on the water, to lead them to the ocean and can be waylaid by headlights, but people could use torchlight to lead them to the ocean if this occurred.For more information visit www.cooloolacoastcare.org.au

Unusual hybrid sea turtle released on Sunny Coast Sea Life Sunshine Coast Aquarium has marked World Wildlife Day with the release of an unusual hybrid sea turtle at Mon Repos Turtle Centre. The unique turtle has the carapace colour and head of a loggerhead turtle but the underside of a flatback turtle. He arrived at the Aquarium in February 2020 as part of a research study in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Science, and the team named him Iluka, which means ’by the sea’ in the Bundjalong language. Over the past year, the Sunshine Coast team has been working with the Department of Environment and Science to better understand how hybrid turtles develop over time in order to assist with the identification of these turtles in the wild. They have been closely monitoring Iluka’s growth patterns, which included regular weighing, measuring, gathering photos, and noting changes in shape and colour. According to Brittany Attwood, Veterinary Nurse at Sea Life Sunshine Coast, the team has grown very fond of Iluka during his stay and it was bittersweet to say goodbye. “I have loved working with Iluka and watching him grow and develop over the past 12 months,“ she said. “He came to us as a tiny hatchling and is now over 32cm long.

Iluka was microchipped, tagged and genetic tested before his release. “After a short walk down to the beach, I released Iluka into the ocean,“ Brittany said. “This was a very slow process as Iluka spent about five minutes sitting and then moved slowly across the sand. Eventually a wave came in and the tide took him out into the ocean. “This was a bittersweet moment for me. I’m so happy for Iluka to be back in the big ocean but I will miss seeing his sweet little face and his cheeky personality.” Iluka’s release coincides with World Wild-

World Wildlife Day is also a reminder of the need to fight against the human-induced reduction of

species, which have wide-ranging economic, environmental and social impacts. Until his release, Iluka was residing in Sea Life Sunshine Coast’s Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, which is behind the scenes at the Aquarium.

Mary Earnshaw speaks with Shawn Kelly of Paradise Seaplanes on International Women’s Day.

“I certainly had a few of those, that was the attitude ’She must be really weird, she thinks she can fly an aeroplane’, well guess what, she did do it and proved them all wrong. “International Women’s Day is just that, it’s a day that recognises the achievements of woman over the decades and where they’ve come from; from being the stay at home wife that has the babies, and the man that went out to work. “That’s history. It’s recognising where

that’s come from to where it is today.“ Mary has just been asked to write a series of articles for Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) and is excited about having the opportunity to share her enthusiasm and her stories with a nationwide audience. “I’m going to be going to be concentrating on articles which focus around my passion which is general aviation and more specifically the flying training,“ she said.

Australia’s first woman Chief Flying Instructor (CFI), and first female CASA designated Pilot Examiner, has rekindled her spirit for flying on International Women’s Day. Firsts are things that Mary Earnshaw seems to do with finesse, wiith over 10,500 flying hours in her logbooks she has a deep passion for all things aviation. Mary, who now lives on the Sunshine Coast, was born in regional WA and pursued a flight career in her 20s. She became a Grade 1 Flight Instructor at the Royal Aero Club in Perth in the 80s and continued up the ladder to become Australia’s first female Chief Flying Instructor. “At the time it was a big honour,“ she said. “I wasn’t suppose to be flying an aeroplane because women just didn’t do that. But I don’t think it made much of a difference to me. I would always get ’Oh, you’re the office girl. Where’s the pilot?’ and that was a good joke to me and I would say, ’I’m the pilot’. It was funny to see the look on people’s faces when they hopped in the plane.“ Mary said she was generally well accepted in the field as time went on. “Women in aviation now is not as rare as it was 30 years back,“ she said. “Today was just a look back in history for me. I’m still very proud of what I achieved.“ She has not been flying, teaching or examining for some time and Shawn Kelly of Paradise Seaplanes thought it was high time she received some recognition and enjoyed a seaplane adventure. “It feels good that I still have the ability to relate to an aeroplane because that’s what it’s about when you’re a pilot, and the passion is still there, which is even more surprising because I haven’t done it for such a long time,“ she said. Mary may claim she has flown “pretty much everything” in general aviation, but she hasn’t flown in Australia’s only Wilga 80 seaplane. “It was a big adrenaline rush for me,“ Mary said. “Initially there was a fair amount of nerves but I did the take off and once I got up in the air it all started to come back. It’s like riding a horse or riding a bike I think, you’re a bit wobbly but you soon get the idea.“ Pilot Shawn Kelly said, “Mary was a formidable force in aviation and responsible for many people realising their dreams to fly.“ On International Women’s Day, Mary encouraged young girls to follow their passion no matter how unique the career path. “The world has become not so much a male and female world, it’s a more unified world,“ she said. “But if a young girl or woman feels that they can’t do something because only boys can do it, I would say put your heart and soul into whatever you want to do. “It might be a long road, but the reward is at the end when you achieve your goal.“ Mary said although there are still some career paths that are quite male dominated,

Aus Identities: Who’s Who at the Zoo, is a system based upon four ancient Temperaments that were brought into modern-day use by American Psychologist Dr. David Keirsey. These temperaments are then linked to the characteristics of four well-known Australian Animals; the Eagle, the Dolphin, the Kangaroo and the Wombat, creating a fun and userfriendly system. Creator of Aus Identities, Michael White aligns his personality profiles with core values, natural gifts and talents and everyday behaviours. “Who’s Who at the Zoo is two hours of fun, relaxation and enjoyment where we get to laugh not only at each other but ourselves,“ Creator of Aus Identities Michael White said. Sunshine Butterflies is excited to partner with a local business to showcase their new space. “I did a job about three months ago for all of the Sunshine Butterflies staff and I was just blown away by what they’re up to out there and wanted to help out,“ Mr White said.

100 jobs up for grabs With the Sunshine Coast unemployment rate at 6.8 per cent, job seekers will now have an exciting new opportunity with Suncare Community Services as the not-forprofit organisation launches more than 100 jobs on their careers’ website. Demand for Suncare Community Services is increasing - particularly with support workers, volunteers and clinical care roles - as more people in aged care decide to stay in their homes for longer. The Federal Government has predicted a surge in people wanting to stay in their homes, which is why Suncare Community Services is stepping up and encouraging job seekers to begin a rewarding career in the industry. Suncare Community Services CEO Russell Mason said the launch of these jobs is a great opportunity to help our aging population but also for those who are looking for fulfilling work. “We have more than 100 jobs across Queensland, mostly on the Sunshine Coast but also in North Brisbane, Rockhampton and the Wide Bay,” Mr Mason said. “We have just celebrated our 50-year anniversary and we’re proud of the employees and volunteers who show up to work every day to make people’s lives better and now we’re looking for some special employees to join our team.” “Suncare Community Services values people who are dynamic, forward-focussed and genuinely builds relationships with customers, employees and stakeholders.” Following the release of the findings of the Aged Care Royal Commission this week, the Federal Government announced $17 million to enhance oversight of the Home Care Packages Program and Ted O’Brien MP, Federal Member for Fairfax is pleased to see local providers such as Sun-

care Community Services actively recruiting to meet this demand. “Since the 2018-19 Budget, the Federal Government has invested a total of $5.5 billion in new funding to deliver more than 83,000 additional home care packages,” he said. “The more people we have delivering home care the better, not just for those who have found meaningful jobs, but for those who want and need support in their homes.” Across the country, more than 1000 organisations hold contracts to deliver Home Care Packages and Suncare Community Services is one of those organisations. Suncare Community Services Senior Care Coordinator Shayli Burgess said it has been a privilege working for the not-forprofit organisation, especially when you hear the incredible feedback from customers. “They love the effort and personalised service we give them. Whether they need a chat, a coffee, a shopping companion or someone to help them surf, we’re ready to help where we can,” Ms Burgess. “It’s a daunting experience for some people who are facing the prospect of what to do as they head into their later years in life and to make that experience welcoming is an honour. “I get to go home every day knowing I have made a difference in someone’s life by giving them the independence and ability to stay in their home for longer.” One in five people are deciding to access aged care while living at home, which is a surge of 74 per cent over a 10-year period.

DEATH IN PARADISE ABC TV, 7.30pm

SUNDAY

MINISERIES: FLESH AND BLOOD 7TWO, 8.30pm

Secrets, lies and betrayal are embellished with an enjoyably humorous and sunny twist in this stylish four-part British thriller. The plot follows three grown-up siblings. Their lives slowly begin to crack apart after their recently widowed mother falls head over heels with a retired GP who, of course, arises suspicion. Starring Imelda Staunton (pictured, Vera Drake), it becomes apparent that the siblings’ idyllic childhood, growing up in a gorgeous home on the Sussex coast, wasn’t their golden ticket to happiness.

SUNDAY

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING 7MATE, 8.30pm

FRIDAY From the opening scenes that masterfully detail the back story of J.R.R. Tolkien’s tale, to the seamlessly integrated special eﬀects, director Peter Jackson presents a powerful and thoroughly engrossing tale that never lets up on its frenetic pace. Managing to keep the heart of the novel, with only minor tailoring to trim the mammoth detail, Jackson presents a marvellous realisation of mythical Middle-earth. However, the real triumph lies in the casting: Elijah Wood (pictured above) is a revelation as the reluctant hero, hobbit Frodo, Ian McKellen revels in his role of the enigmatic wizard Gandalf, and Viggo Mortensen’s consummate depiction of Aragorn/Strider, the noble kingin-waiting, consistently threatens to steal the show.

RHOD GILBERT: STAND UP TO SHYNESS SBS VICELAND, 8.30pm

Public speaking is often ranked as one of the biggest fears we can imagine, but for most of us in daily life, standing up and talking in front of large groups of people is not a regular occurence, so we can get on just ﬁne. But for a surprisingly large portion of society, small group interactions – even just one-on-one – can be equally as terrifying and debilitating. Comedian Rhod Gilbert (pictured) is no stranger to the stage, but it masks his crippling social anxiety and shyness that is no laughing matter. Here, he attempts to get to the bottom of what makes him so shy in the ﬁrst place and what the experts suggest can be done to reduce its impact.

Kind of like the Doctor Who of detective series, we get a new DI every few seasons of Death in Paradise, which keeps this entertaining and not-too-gruesome British comedy-crime drama ticking along just nicely. In series nine, DI Neville Parker (Ralf Little) has landed on the island of Saint Marie, but his debilitating allergies, creepy-crawly phobias and general neurosis has meant this plum job in paradise is more of a living nightmare for him. Luckily, there is always plenty of work to keep him busy. Tonight, Parker and the team investigate after the leader of a survival training course is found dead in the remote forest of a neighbouring island, aptly named ‘mosquito island’.

Ralf Little is the new detective in Death in Paradise.

BUSINESS IN FOCUS NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Tint a Car’s birthday bash A Sunshine Coast businessman, Barry Schefe and his wife Carleen have been running Tint a Car franchisees on the Sunshine Coast for over 17 years. “We started with the Maroochydore store with two workers, then acquired the Noosa store 11 years ago and the Caloundra store we took over five years ago,” he said. Sitting talking with Barry about Tint a Car, it’s easy to see why after 17 years in the business he and his team are so successful: there’s passion, pride and attention to detail in everything they do. Barry said Tint a Car has been in Noosa for 30 years. No business awards were held last year and looking for opportunities to better ourselves. Not only in what we do at work but outside of work as well,” he said. Barry and his team are proud of what they have achieved. “Tint a Car Sunshine Coast has won Franchise of the Year for Tint a Car Queensland for seven years and has entered the Sunshine Coast Business Awards twice and been a finalist both times”. Barry said, “I could not have achieved any of that without having a great team that is reliable and has the best interest of the business at heart.” Barry said one of the hardest things to remind people is that they are more than just a tint shop. “A major part of our business is Rust Protection. We are the biggest Rust Protection service on the Sunshine Coast. Elite X is the Premium Ceramic Coat Protection for your paintwork on your vehicle that Tint a Car offers along with Paint Protection Film, Interior fabric protection, and also headlight rejuvenator,” he said. “Vehicles are not the only thing we tint. We are the only Tint a Car Franchise in Australia

Ramil and Lizz working hard at the Noosa Tint a Car store that have a dedicated Home Tint team that all they deal with is Home/Office Tinting. “The team will come to your home, office or work place around Noosa to help you choose the right film to suit your needs and we have specialist installers that are full time doing this work. “We have more than 100 different films available for you to choose from with different levels of protection.” So you can tint or protect most things. “If it is glass and we can get to it, we can tint,

frost or apply a film to it,” Barry said. Lizz, who has been in the automotive industry for more than 15 years, manages the Tint a Car Noosa site. Lizz can help you with all your needs in store. “Lizz came to us when Covid first hit when she was stood down in a role at a dealership and we took her on because of her experience and knowledge in the automotive industry,” Barry said. “We are celebrating Tint a Car and Tint a

Home Noosa second Birthday in our current location at 3 Lionel Donovan Drive in the hyper store alongside our Battery World Store which celebrates two years in Noosa as well, it’s very exciting,” he said. Barry said it felt amazing to have community support for his family business as it continued to grow over the years. “We try to give back to the community in any way we can,” he said. “We support Noosa Car Club, Nathan from Wild Reaches (a Noosa local) and try to involve local people in our local business.”

Chat to someone about window tinting at Tint a Car Noosa. “One thing a lot of people don’t think about is when we tint your home, tint will actually double the life of your curtains, your carpet, your floor coverings and your furniture inside just by blocking the UVs,” Barry said. “A tint over the period of five years will more than save you the cost of it, just by saving what is inside your home. “It’ also has a safety factor, if a glass breaks in your car or home, the tint will hold it together rather than have lots of pieces of glass shattering.” You wouldn’t go to a birthday naked, so why would you drive naked?

BUSINESS IN FOCUS

Business owner Barry Schefe with Tint a Car’s awards.

Be sun smart in your car with the help of Tint a Car Noosa. It’s no secret that you can get a sunburn while driving long distances in your car. So it’s important to make sure you’re always protected from prolonged exposure to the sun by applying sunscreen and wearing sun smart clothing. Getting your car windows tinted can also protect you from skin damage as they substantially reduce the amount of UV radiation that’s transmitted into your car. All of Tint a Car’s exclusive films block up to 99 per cent of UVA and UVB rays and are cer-

tified by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA). Barry, I know this is about Tint a Car, but I have to ask? What is the link with Battery World? “Battery World allowed us to have a business that complimented what we do,” he said. “There is no crossover or conflict between either brand. In fact, they have been like two gloves, both businesses work closely together with the same custom. All cars, boats, 4WD, Motorhome etc need a battery and all can be tinted. It is a service driven business just like Tint a Car. In fact, it has gone that well we have expanded this business model onto Marooch-

A very full and happy life By Julie Walker Like many of the old-time farmers, Stan Pearce did a lot of things in his life. Stan’s grandparents, James and Martha Pearce, settled on a 50 acre (20ha) block at Oakey Creek, Gheerulla in 1897 and ran a few dairy cows and bullock teams to cart the plentiful supply of timber coming from the area. This would always be known as the “starter block” and members of the family later moved to Walli Creek closer to Kenilworth where a six bedroom home with wide verandas was built to accommodate the large Pearce family. Stan was the youngest of seven children born to Jack and Mabel Pearce on 28 June 1930 at Sunny Brae Hospital at Eumundi.

He then grew up on the family farm at Walli Creek with his siblings, Florence, Adele, Glenna, Jean, Beryl and Norman. Stan left school at 13 to help his father on the farm, his teacher, Harry Welch, sent him off hoping that his father could teach him a thing or two. Stan married Jean Heather Moon at the Church of England in Nambour on 30 June 1951 at the age of 21. They moved into Walli Creek and started a dairy and beef farm on part of the home property. His parents retired to Tewantin shortly after. Stan and Jean lived in a shed for 18 months while Stan and Norm pulled the original homestead down and divided the timber and iron between themselves and in December 1952 they built a house next to the shed for Stan, and a

house for Norm on the original homestead site. In 1955 Stan and Norm bought a crawler tractor and were timber cutters; snigging and dressing logs for electric light poles. Stan would take the logs to Landsborough on a Chev Blitz. These logs had been ‘crowned’ by overseer, Charlie Moorland, after whom a well-known camping area is named. When Stan was 22 a 2“ (5cm) nail went into his eye while building a pig pen. The doctors were worried that he was going to lose the sight in both eyes - it was so lucky that he didn’t. Stan and Jean raised four children on their farm in Walli Creek; Suzanne, Maree, Gavin and Julie. Gavin still resides in Kenilworth close to his mother Jean.

Stan bought Norm out later, and the family moved down to Norm’s house and continued dairying until 1965 when they moved to Watson Rd in Southside, Gympie. Stan started work in the pine plantations snigging logs with draught horses - and continued working there for three years. Later they sold the house in Gympie and bought some more cattle, two tractors and other farm equipment and moved back to the farm at Walli, and started dairying and beef again. As people may be aware Stan used to organise mini rodeos on the property and he built an arena where he used to raise money for many and varied community groups. There were also roping and dogging schools held at the grounds. Stan loved his rodeos and travelled the local area with his horses and would rope, haze for doggers, and compete in ribbon races, cow hide races (maybe the first in Australia), and gymkhana events. Even with his one eye he could still rope very well and won numerous roping events. Stan loved the Kenilworth Rodeo Committee and worked tirelessly on the rodeo grounds for the Annual Kenilworth Rodeo held each September. His interest with Australian stock horses started with breeding them and he then setup a stud name for his property which he called Waterloo. Some of his favourite horses were Paddy, Midnight, Bundy, Walli Mountain Princess and the horse his children all learnt to ride, Creamy, just to name a few. Stan’s other passion was fishing. He tried to take the family, once a year, to Burrum Heads, camping in a large canvas tent. A few nephews almost always came up, which added to the fun. Because money was tight, Stan had the “Living off of The Land”, ethic, so for breakfast, dinner and tea, plus morning tea and afternoon tea they ate fish and if you were hungry you ate fish. He was always into growing his own fruit and veges. He always said, you should never plant a tree unless it bears fruit. In his later years he bought a block of land and then a house in Tin Can Bay, but the sandflies drove him to live in Goomboorian where he had a bit of land for a house cow. He started wood-turning and making bowls to sell at the markets with his fruit that he grew in the rich soil. He loved travelling around in his beloved Triton 4x4 Ute and even drove to Uluru and the Cape. Later Stan decided that it was time to find a place in Gympie to live, with the help of his family. He moved to Oxford Crest on the Southside of Gympie. Stan made numerous friends whilst living there, especially Val, who became a great companion and joined him on a cruise around Australia. Sadly Stan’s body and memory started to deteriorate, and a decision was made to move Stan to the Douglas Wing at Japara Aged Care Facility in Tewantin. The staff always enjoyed talking to him about the “Old Days” and made him as comfortable as possible. They played his favourite country music in the background to help him relax in his final days. Many thanks go to the staff at Japara for their tireless work and commitment. Stan passed away peacefully on Sunday 21 February 2021 leaving a legacy behind him in his beloved Kenilworth.

Stan Pearce loved his life on horseback.

The house of bamboo By Phil Jarratt Becky Dart’s Big Heart Bamboo may not have won the recent Weekly Times Coles 2020 Farmer of the Year award – it was a highly-praised finalist – but with the edible bamboo shoot market rising as fast as the bamboo itself as chefs look for a competitive edge, and cooks at home loving her range of gourmet bamboo condiments, Big Heart looks like having a very big year. No surprises here. It’s in her blood. While Becky is a fairly recent entrant into the gourmet foods market, she grew up on a Belli Park property (west of Eumundi) hearing the magical sounds of the bamboo stands creaking and groaning in the breeze, speaking to her father as he worked in the shade of his natural cathedrals. “I’m here, I’m growing!” Durnford Dart, now 84, laughs at the memory of his imagined conversations with bamboo, first revealed nearly a quarter of a century ago when our family-run magazine, Noosa Blue, ran an article on his relatively new Bamboo Australia plantation and nursery. Back then, he was the Australian pioneer of this remarkably versatile and sustainable crop, and he remains the patriarch of the Dart house of bamboo, although Becky, 36, is now making edible bamboo her own. He also has impressive credentials as one of the bamboo world’s leading gurus, thanks in part to his late ‘90s Bamboo Handbook, published around the world, his consultancy work for major Third World sustainability projects, and his service on the boards of several international industry associations. In a major report on the global bamboo industry last year, Researchandmarkets.com named Belli’s tiny Bamboo Australia as one of the top 25 players in the world. Durnford (“Durn” to his mates, including many members of the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, where he was commodore for five years) first became enchanted by bamboo as a little boy, walking through Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens with his mum while dad was away at World War II. He says: “I was only six or seven, but I remember seeing this amazing thing hanging over the pathway, quite beautiful. The impression stayed with me, and when dad came home from the war, and we sold up in Melbourne and moved to a farm on the NSW central coast, I was delighted to find that our neighbours had a stand of bamboo, and we’d go in there and cut it to make fishing rods and kites.” Much later in life, Durnford had a successful wrecking yard and auto parts business in western Sydney when he stumbled into a huge bamboo grove while on a business trip to Japan. He recalls: “A light misty rain started and it was so peaceful and quiet in there that I thought I should try to grow this stuff at home. I already had 40 hectares of land here at Belli Park, so I did a bit of research and decided that bamboo would be feasible to grow, initially for the edible shoots. I saw an opportunity because there were no fresh shoots being marketed in Australia, they were a prohibited import as a green product, and there was a growing demand for them. So that added up to a business plan.”

The fresh bamboo shoot product. There are 1500 species of bamboo and Durnford researched about 60 of them that would potentially thrive in the subtropical climate of the Sunshine Coast, but since about half weren’t available in Australia, he went looking for them in China and Thailand. He says: “About half of the half I imported survived a very strict quarantine, then the neighbours wanted my bamboo declared a noxious weed, so I had to fight them and the government for two years. The odds were stacked against me, but eventually, in the early ‘90s, we started production of edible shoots, with poles as a sideline, but the poles turned out to be the major seller.” This was just as well, because growers on the Adelaide River in the Northern Territory swamped the shoots market and the price slumped. The incredible diversity of bamboo would become the heart of his business, but back then it was almost his undoing. “I was spread too thin with poles, nursery plants and developing benchtops and flooring products, and I took my eye off the ball with the shoots, and we had to let it go,” he says. It’s taken a generation and a quarter of a century, but the edible shoots are back big time, and may well be the future of the Dart family bamboo enterprises. Becky Dart confesses she wasn’t very interested in bamboo as a child, despite, or perhaps because of, growing up in a grove. Her real love was wildlife, and after finishing an applied science degree at the University of Queensland, she travelled in Asia, working with the tiny elephant population, almost wiped out as a result of massive deforestation. This in turn led her to the deforestation of bamboo and the effects that was having. When she came home to Belli and took a temporary job with her dad, she thoroughly researched all aspects of bamboo so she’d know what she was talking about when trying to make sales. She says: “The more research I did, the more I began to understand dad’s passion for bamboo, and to share it. There’s a greater focus on sustainability and demand has increased for food sources and building materials that are eco-friendly and sustainable. Bamboo ticks every box. It’ll last forever, it creates habitat, it sequesters 150 percent more carbon than an equivalent broadleaf forest, and you never have to till the soil and release carbon.” Becky’s eyes light up. “I kept learning about all these great things, and that got me into

Durnford and Becky Dart at their bamboo “cathedral”. shoots. I started to become passionate about edible bamboo and I got where dad was coming from. I researched the health benefits for humans and found that there were 25 different vitamins and minerals, plus really high fibre so good for gut health. It also has aphrodisiac qualities. Bamboo is a remedy for the planet!” While Becky was having these revelations, Durnford was plodding along with about a million applications for his crops, including providing green pole fencing for festivals such as Woodford and Womadelaide, building two kilometres of fencing in dry Blackwater to settle the dust around mining camps, circling caravan parks at Noosa North Shore and Yeppoon to cleanse effluent, and sending poles to three Australian station in Antarctica for biodegradable expedition markers. The range of bamboo applications is quite staggering (I’m wearing a bamboo tee shirt as I write) but little is known about the true size of the industry, in Australia or globally. A 2012 study by Business Insider estimated a global market of $25 billion, but last year Researchandmarkets.com had it at $90 million in 2019 and growing at 5.5 percent. That’s quite a discrepancy, and probably indicative of statisticians playing catch-up with an evolving, although ancient industry. Durnford Dart says that in Australia it is almost impossible to package all of bamboo’s applications under one figure. He estimates a few million for nursery plants and about the same for poles. Fortunately, there are only about five serious players in Queensland, and while he shares the plants business, he owns the poles. Whatever the real numbers are, a big chunk of the future is going to belong to the gourmet foods sector. Says Becky: “When dad did the shoots first time around the market was noth-

ing like it is now. I think social media has created a much greater awareness that you can use locally grown bamboo shoots in your cooking rather than the tinned stuff from Asia. There’s been a lot of pressure on chefs to stand out from the pack, to find their niche, and using fresh bamboo shoots has really made a difference for some of them. Locally, it’s changed a lot from when there was just a very small market for fine dining restaurants like Wasabi. Now there’s Asian and fusion cuisine everywhere and they’re all looking for that point of difference.” Although Wasabi has sadly passed into Noosa’s culinary history, executive chef Zeb Gilbert remains a satisfied customer of Big Heart at exclusive Makepeace Island. Other restaurants in the region using Becky’s fresh produce include Embassy XO, Sumi Kitchen and Spirit House, where her fragrant bamboo tea has been turned into a cocktail. In Brisbane Donna Chang and Same-Same are on her client list. For its fresh produce Big Heart Bamboo has been recognised with a Snail of Approval from Slow Food Noosa and was a 2019 and 2020 Queensland winner in the Delicious Produce Awards, but preparation of the edible shoots is long, laborious and labour-intensive, and delivery is usually seasonal, so Becky is focusing on the Big Heart condiment range that now includes pickles, relishes, chutneys, toppings and fragrant refreshing teas, and recently won her first export client. With the two family businesses working side by side at Belli Park, the future looks good for the Darts’ house of bamboo. Says Becky: “I dream of the day when I don’t have to be the one chopping up the shoots, but we’re not quite there yet.”

Wyld e-choppers in Noosa.

Inokim electric scooter.

Hey, easy rider Exciting new easy-riding transport options will be a feature of the free Noosa Electric Vehicle Expo, with everything from e-scooters, chopper-style motor scooters and powerful electric motorbikes on display. “Personal electric transport is no longer just about cars and e-bikes,” said Expo coordinator Vivien Griffin. “E-scooters are transforming our transport options and the range of vehicles now available can provide for sitting or standing travel, and distance range up to 70 kilometres, depending on ride mode chosen. They are lightweight, affordable, and can be folded to take on public transport or into the workplace. “Expo visitors will have the chance to have a test ride in a safe, dedicated space. Queensland legislation limits their speeds to 25 kph, and they may be ridden on footpaths

and on local roads of up to 50k speed limit.” On-road electric scooter transport now includes the eye-catching “Easy Rider” chopperstyle motor scooters, which are challenging our concepts of what a motor scooter looks like, with both the NKD and Wyld vehicles getting a lot of interest. Maximum speed for the Wyld is 50 kph, and only a standard driver’s licence is required. It has a range of 80k and a removable battery for easy recharging. The Fonzarelli electric NKD comes in three different models, with maximum speeds from 50kph to 100kph and a range up to 200k. Both will be on display at the Expo, as well as the silent but powerful Evoke motor bike. The Expo will be held on Sunday 21 March, from 10-2pm, at the Noosa Transit Centre Car Park, Lanyana Way, Noosa Junction. Further information at noosaevexpo.com.au.

The powerful Evoke.

Figures released last week by the Electric Vehicle Council show Australian electric car sales are stagnating at a time when the rest of the world is hitting the accelerator hard. In 2020, there were 6,900 electric cars sold in Australia, a 2.7 percent increase from the 6,718 sold in 2019. But the 2020 figures show electric cars account for just 0.7 percent of total Australian car sales. By comparison, electric vehicles in the European Union increased their market share from 3.8 percent in 2019 to 10.2 percent in 2020. In the UK, it was 3.1 percent in 2019 against 10.7 percent in 2020. In California, market share went from 7.6 percent to 8.1 percent. And in Norway, it rose from 56 percent in 2019 to 75 percent in 2020. Electric Vehicle Council chief executive Behyad Jafari said the baffling Australian anomaly needed to end. “Australian drivers are ready to join the exciting global electric car transition, but our politicians are yanking the handbrake,” Mr Jafari said. “We have no targets, no significant incentives, no fuel efficiency standards – and in Victoria we even have a new tax on non-emitting vehicles. If we follow the rest of the world and look to accelerate the shift to electric vehicles, we will be rewarded with clean city air, reduced carbon impact, enhanced fuel security, and a renewed manufacturing sector.”

As the evidence is mounting Council is putting pressure on the quarry in the form of fines

for breaches of its Quarry Management Plan (QMP). At a roundtable meeting last Friday Council announced quarry operators Cordwell Resources had been issued a further $27,000 in fines, bringing the total over the past four months to $80,000, none of which has been paid. To assist in preparing Council’s legal case, residents have volunteered to complete a 30-question survey. It asks them to detail the current environment, the nature of the impact of more than 200 truck movements daily,

dust problems in the area, plus it seeks their thoughts on the best way to address community concerns. Mayor Clare Stewart said residents were best placed to describe the environment, noise impacts and other amenity issues which relate directly to the quarry’s truck movements.Kin Kin Community Group president Jan Bonsall said depression and anger were rife in the community because of the impact of the trucks. “It’s ruined paradise,” she said. The majority of us went to live in Kin Kin to get out of

suburbia. We didn’t go there to have it inflicted upon us. If you think of 200 trucks a day, that’s fairly disruptive. It’s not consistent with the idyllic life you want to take up.” Ms Bonsall recalled a recent incident where a mother taking her young children to school over the range was forced to swerve over to the edge of the road when she met a truck on a corner. “She’s terrified,” she said. Ms Bonsall said the community was appreciative of the effort being put in by council and Ms Bolton. Continued on page 5

No excuses on aged care This Royal Commision report on aged care is a blight on past and present goverments. There is no excuse they can come up with to exonerate themselves. Even our current Prime Minister was not surprised. Money required and to train extra professional staff to work with the elderly doesn’t have to be a problem if they reduced the prize money from some of the Lottery first division prizes. Some of 60 or 80 million dollars could be put to good use. Who would know as we believe what they tell us now what the prize money is. I am led to believe Queensland once had a Hospital Lottery. Why not one for homes to spend our final days or years in, One we all perhaps may need one day. Not one run by private companies. Ernest Wright, Sunrise Beach

Oh, there is a requirement that there will be a planting of koala food trees elsewhere. I hope the koalas are able to diet for 15 years before the trees are old enough to provide food and habitat. Breathtaking hypocrisy. The plans for the Civic site contain all the usual weasel words - vibrant, innovation, business, village - which translates into the cheapest possible unimaginative construction, minimal greenspace, trees which are eventually removed and more of the same franchise shops.

No waste gardening Being a gardener that enjoys propagating all type of plants I recently found myself with far too many to tend to. The Salvation Army eased the burden somewhat but I still found an eccess that still needed to be given away as its a hobby not a business. Today I approached Acres Garden Center and asked if they would be interested. It’s now 5pm and true to their word my eccess plants have been taken care of by 2 very pleasant and helpful ladies from Acres Garden Center. What has become the icing on the cake is the knowledge they are not ending up at the tip which was my next plan and that they are going to be sold and all the money is going to Katie Rose Hospice. How good is that? I might add and took note as I walked through to the Garden Center how pleasant and well set out is Acres to have a coffee and bite to eat before or after a browse through the other shops.

Energy Uplift Program Case study: future proofing your business When award winning Australian interior designer Di Henshall talks about “future proofing” her business she is talking about her decision to install solar power. In 2016 Di designed and built her custom design studio and factory at 32 Gateway Drive Noosaville. As a Greensmart Builder, Di built the premises to maximise performance output and sustainability. Integration of a solar system was a commonsense approach to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy bills and costs. She says: “Having a big roof area, after installing the 32 KW solar system, an added bonus was our greatly improved energy efficiency with the solar panels acting as insulation for the factory floor. Whether renting or as a building owner, installing solar is about future proofing your business. As a manufacturing business, using a lot of machinery and power, we owe it to our community to reduce our impact on the environment. However, it is not just about reducing our impact on the environment, it is a very sound business decision as it reduces our quarterly operating costs substantially. “I am a strong advocate for solar, and advise other businesses to consider investing in a solar system. For added reassurance, choose a local solar installation company for quick after sales support and a system with remote performance monitoring capabilities,” Di said. Di Henshall Interior Design has been in business on the Sunshine Coast since 1988. Her premises include Di Henshall Interior Design and Resident Hero Custom Furniture, which manufactures high quality contemporary furniture, and Kitchens by Resident Hero, which manufactures cabinetry for homes and well as multi-residential projects.

Separating fact, fiction Social media continues to be a fabulous arena, though sadly still full of disinformation and misinformation that is disempowering people and our communities. Even though the recent tree clearing at the Civic may be deemed a Council matter, the comments posted recently on Facebook demonstrated a lack of knowledge around the roles of representatives, levels of government, planning schemes, Noosa’s Biosphere status and our individual responsibility. Clarity brings greater understanding, and I hope the following ‘digging around’ and simplification assists in your dinner table discussions! The current works relate to an approval given by Council in August 2020 on a site that is referred to as Stage 2 in a Masterplan, which was developed back in the 1990’s. This designation was endorsed by two planning schemes for business services including vet clinics and dentists as examples, as well an enterprise zone to accommodate emerging businesses and residential accommodations for workers in key industries. This, to meet the demand our community drives in some way, including jobs for our kids through diversification and services sought. Back in 2016 the site owner Queensland Investment Corporation, submitted an application to build, and incorporate retail into Stage 2 which was rejected by Council as it was outside the designated use in the planning scheme. As a result of this refusal Council defended its decision in court which was successful as it could support the rationale for the original designation. That the most recent application was approved, indicates it complied with the designated use and conditions including what trees could be cleared. All documents and data we refer to in relation to Noosa Civic is publicly available through Noosa Council’s website www.noosa.qld.gov.au or phone them on 53296500. Any loss of any habitat is saddening, and we get many complaints including when individual houses are built on vegetated sites. However, the works of people and organisations has ensured that loss through planning scheme designations has been counteracted in the last 40 years by additions to the National Parks as well as considerable increase in land protected which sits at around 45%. More instruments have been provided through State legislation such as Special Wildlife Reserves that individual property owners can submit to, safeguarding their properties well into the future. Noosa had been a dedicated flora and fauna reserve for many years, and in 2007 UNESCO saw how the community had grown and prospered while not allowing unfettered destruction. Instead increasing its environmental ‘kudos’ which led to our being awarded the “Man in The Biosphere Reserve“ status. Why?

40 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 12 March, 2021

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton Because this community had demonstrated a genuine desire to plan and live with nature at its core and work towards offsetting our impacts. We still have much to do, and more ‘digging’ is available at en.unesco.org/biosphere/ wnbr

This is not a conversation about whether certain approvals are right or wrong. It is to simplify what is complex, as the complexity leads to misunderstandings and much anger. Legislation set by State Government has processes, policies and procedures including

environmental to adhere to, with local governments formulating their own within this. Representatives such as Councillors and MP’s must make lawful decisions within their level of government, its jurisdictions and their roles. To not do so can lead to great costs for ratepayers and taxpayers. We must ensure when in court to have the base from which to succeed, and our planning schemes and associated instruments reflecting the vision and requirements of our community. This is why we are always posting to get you involved through submissions to master plans and planning schemes, with organisations who work in these spaces, as well to ‘have your say’ when development applications are submitted. If it is State legislation or other instruments letting us down, we must work on identifying which, and how to rectify. That is where my role comes in, and where you can help! Previously I have stated my theme for this year is ‘responsibility, accountability, and consequences’. In response to our fabulous Year 6’ers ‘Q & A’ session this week at St Thomas More when asked regarding Noosa Civic, I shared an inconvenient truth. We have all contributed to habitat loss and we all need to understand how we contribute. Whether we are asking for hospital expansions or aged care facilities, carparks or extra sporting fields, there are consequences of doing, or not doing. The convenient truth is that every day we can effect change through what we seek, what we share and what we do! That includes our social media contributions. Our youngsters are increasingly ‘savvy’ regarding credible online information, with our high schoolers taught a method of checking the objective reliability of information sources. It is called CRAAP, an acronym not hard to forget? It stands for CURRENCY (most recent), RELEVANCE (selfexplanatory), AUTHORITY (who provided, and is it a credible source) ACCURACY (Can you verify claims via other sources, and is the information in its entirety, or only a portion out of context?) and PURPOSE (is it to entertain, inform, educate, push an agenda, or create havoc?) It would be fabulous if we all could take a leaf out of their book, as well as take some of our ‘diggings’ into your thoughts, café chats and online comments. Contact those who can relay the ‘how’s’ and ‘whys’ and take these forward in your discussions . For local government matters, our Councillors, myself for State and Llew or Ted O’Brien for Federal. If we do not know, we can refer to a source that meets the ‘CRAAP’ criteria. At times different levels of government are all involved, and that is when we get together to untangle. Sound easy? Not always, however that is for another time as I think this was enough in one sitting! Enjoy the beautiful start to autumn everyone, and happy ‘digging’? Sandy

And that all contributes to wellbeing and happiness - something we all deserve to feel in this topsy-turvy time.” “It’s also about performers having a chance to engage together again, earn some muchneeded money and remember what it feels like to play live again,” Katie said.

WHAT’S ON… NOOSATODAY.COM.AU

Single for Noosa artist By Abbey Cannan A Sunrise Beach singer, electronic producer and multi-instrumentalist is set to release her latest single, taking listeners through a journey of the “sacred feminine“. Lulu Madill, known as artist Syren, will release her new track ’Sacred Body’ on Friday 19 March at the Coolum Civic Centre Show as well as on all online platforms. Syren said ’Sacred Body’ was more than a song, but a movement. “It’s pretty exciting,“ she said. “I wrote the track last October in just 12 hours when I was going through a pretty rough time living down in Byron Bay. “It’s a healing song that really got me through that time of separating with my partner and I sold my home and moved back home to Noosa. “We filmed the video clip in Kenilworth and that’s a really special vision that I had. It’s three women of three different nationalities coming together and meeting at a sacred waterhole. “I grew up riding horses in Kenilworth, so I needed to film this symbolic video clip here on the Sunshine Coast. “I think it’s a really special time, especially today being International Women’s Day.“ Lulu was born in Gympie and fell in love with music from the beginning of her life as her parents Gayle and John Madill were a part of birthing the Gympie Country Music Muster. She was surrounded by music from age one, at age seven playing the violin then progressed to the classical piano. In 2004 Lulu enrolled at S.A.E School Of Audio Engineering Melbourne where she did six months of the Audio Engineering Course before she began the planning and building of her own recording studio Preston Melbourne 2006. At Buttons Touching Studio’s, she recorded

Lulu Madill was born in Gympie and fell in love with music at an early age. over 25 artists from Pop, Hip Hop and Rock music. In 2008 Lulu traveled to the Northern Territory to work on music projects in remote Aboriginal communities for seven years. “I was living in Melbourne at the time, I was running my recording studio and I had an awakening one day and I realised that I had no real connection to the Indigenous people of Australia,“ Syren said. “I got this amazing gig as a sound engineer on tour going through Arnhem Land. “We would go to remote communities and do workshops during the day and concerts

during the night and work with the Indigenous community to record their music. “The work I was doing was to preserve the languages in remote Aboriginal communities in creative ways. It was just incredible and very life changing.“ Her sound is a melting pot of Earthy, Trip Hop ’n’ Trap through to Conscious Electronica mixed with Ancient Tribal Bass Music. Syren’s new live show Sacred Body brings the mystical experience of her music to life with her raw and powerful vocals as she performs with her original beats and majestic Harpist Hayley with live strings.

Noosa artist Syren will release her new single ‘Sacred Body’ on Friday 19 March at the Coolum Civic Centre Show.

Tucker With Trevor Restaurant Review

Tasty pasta and bat show By Trevor Pepys Trevor Pepys reviews Noosa Italian As regular readers will know, Trevor has always been wary of eateries with too-smart names. Even more so if they become franchises. Thai One On and Thai Me Kangaroo Down spring to mind. If they’ve got to be that clever to get you in the door, chances are the tom yum will be tasteless. Margaritaville is an exception, a clever name and a highly successful franchise where you walk in strummin’ your six-string and you walk out full of tequila and corn chips, knowin’ it’s your own damn fault. The eating experience and the song are one and the same. But Trev’s preference is for the no-frills, know what you’re getting yourself into kind of name. The Toolshed bar in Sydney’s Oxford Street is a perfect example. No surprises there. A joint Trev remembers in Tijuana many years ago called Sexy Mexy Taqueria had topless waitresses serving the tacos and beers. Well, duh. A friend of Trev’s in Bali has a place called Bali Eco Stay which is about as uninspired as you can get but apparently ticks all the algorithm boxes for Google searches and is always full. Equally uninspired but eminently sensible is Noosa Italian on the Noosa Marina. You’re not going to go there looking for a vindaloo or a moussaka, are you? Well, it’s Noosa so maybe you are. Anyway, Trev and the missus walked in the

The arancini.

Squid ink pasta, star of the show.

other night looking for some pasta and a decent dry white and we weren’t disappointed. We even got a sunset bat migration in widescreen Technicolor chucked in for free, and wasn’t that something! Okay, there are many vantage points along the river to ignite your Bruce Wayne fantasy, but very few have the

unobstructed wide view that the Marina restaurants offer. If you’re a bit batty, it’s perfect. Because we’d been drinking since late morning (only spritzers until the sun was over the yard-arm, you understand), we decided to take a breather and enjoy a sparkling mineral water ($9.50) while we waited for Robin to

join us. Sorry, sorry, there is no Robin! Trevor needs to move on from this Batman fixation. We sipped the sparkly while we surveyed the menu, which is quite extensive, but we had already decided to stick to the starters and pasta choices. We elected to share the smoked salmon arancini ($18) with romesco aioli and Ora King roe, before moving to share plates of squid ink tagliolini ($32) tossed with baby calamari, Moreton Bay bug, garlic, chilli, cherry tomatoes, basil and rocket, and Porcini mushrooms pici ($30) with Italian porcini and Swiss brown mushrooms, fontina cheese, white wine and rosemary pangrattato. We paired this with the Villa Chiopris Pinot Grigio ($52), a very decent quaffer from Friuli, up in the north east where they’ve never made a bad one. This arrived with a smile just in time to see off the bats and get serious about the tucker, which was good all round, with the arancini starter being a bit predictable and the squid ink tagliolini the undoubted star of the evening – pasta cooked just so, the ink just putting a nice edge on the combination of seafood and vegetable flavours. The verdict: After a few visits now, Trev is putting this joint on the good and dependable list. Without being sensational, Noosa Italian delivers good service and good food with a river view. Tough to beat that trifecta. Noosa Italian, Noosa Marina, Tewantin. Phone 0434 190573.

Hook, Line and Sinker Davo’s Tackle World

Amanda Bissell won the $100 Davo’s Tackle World/ChaseBaits Fish of the Week prize with the colourful coral trout she caught at Sunshine Reef.

Picture: WWW.FISHINGNOOSA.COM.AU

Get ready - it’s tuna time Since the start of autumn, there has been a noticeable change offshore. The start of the tuna has happened and the bays and coastline now feature schools of mac tuna along with longtail and a mix of school and spotty mackerel. Although not big in size, these fish are proving a lot of fun on light gear combos. If you have 4-5000 sized reels and a snapper rod or similar then you can chase these speedsters with a mix of metal lures. Look at the range from Gillies and Arma and grab a pack of single strand wire should the mackerel show up and snip you off. Bottom bashing out on the reefs has been providing good-sized snapper, pearl perch and tuskies. If you are on anchor then a light burly trail will not only bring in the snapper but also the mackerel. It is important to keep your burly trail light as you don’t want to attract sharks. Look at our various oils, burley pellets and frozen burly bombs. Soft plastics also work very well on reef fish and if you are new to soft plastic fishing then give some Berkley gulp a try as these are perfect for the first timer especially in

pearl white 4 inch. Beach fishing has been a little quieter with the rise in swell, however there are some great gutters all along the coast right now. Some have some really nice-sized dart in them around the 40cm mark and on light gear these will go off and run hard! You can try small metal jigs like the Majorcraft Jigpara and rip them in quickly through the wash for the bite. Let these fish run or they will bust you off and keep lines around 4kg for the best casting and presentation. The Noosa river has some really nice flathead in the drop offs around the mouth. The upper reaches have been quiet this past week so stay lower. The jacks have been slightly quieter, but as we move toward a new moon phase you can expect some exciting things to happen, not only at night but first light too. As the tides begin to build the morning high tides will see some great action from trevally smashing the bait. Who knows, we may even see tuna in the river mouth! For trevally give small metal lures a throw if you are on a budget as these work very well. Smaller soft plastics like the

Remember that Lake Macdonald is an electric or paddle power only. If you are looking to get into kayak fishing then come in and browse the range of Viking kayaks that hold a 30-year guarantee which is great piece of mind. We also have a great range of sounders and electric motors, even ones for kayaks. Now, for all the latest information, log on to www.fishingnoosa.com.au for up to date bar and fishing reports, and don’t forget to drop into Tackle World Noosa, Noosa Boating and Outdoors and Northshore Bait & Tackle in Marcoola for all the right equipment, bait and advice to get you catching. Be sure to follow us on Facebook, and remember - Tight lines and bent spines!

Keitech Easy Shiner is the perfect baitfish profile and with its super soft construction they swim like no other and certainly get the bite. Try these around the Woods Bays and the Dog Beach as schools of fish frequent this area on the hunt. Freshwater has been fishing both well and slow. If you are a keen bass fisho then atmospheric pressure can effect these fish. A rising or stable barometer can indicate a great time to go fishing if you have the chance to decide when to go. For the rest of us, it is a case of trying a mixture of soft plastics and suspending jerk baits. The bass in MacDonald have been hard to find so you will need to keep sounders running and flick any schools of fish balled up.

Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club celebrates 72 years.

It’s a sport for everyone Long gone are the days of crisp stark white bowls uniforms, women’s skirts at a certain length, and men in long white pants and shirts. Today, lawn bowls is a mix of colour, excitement and a social or competitive sport with friends. Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club has grown from a small living room-sized clubhouse to a fabulous facility housing three grass greens, and this year celebrates being 72 years young. The land was purchased for 316 pounds and 18 shillings with 40 men prepared to act as guarantors for the loan, some of whom still have relatives who visit the club. Crosscut saws and a bulldozer were used to clear the paperbarks and mangroves that covered the area as social bowls had far outgrown the small one rink private bowling green that local Alf (Pop) Spriggett had at his house at 85 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin. Tewantin Noosa Bowls Club is very privileged to honour a 51-year membership with Kevin Manthey, and not far behind with 47 years’ membership is another local Lindsay Pateman. For anyone with Commonwealth Games ambitions, their resident mentor Rick Dickson, at 92 years young, is out on the greens most days imparting his amazing knowledge of the game. Rick coached local Kelsey Cottrell, bringing

her through the ranks of junior to international superstar. The club is growing a junior bowling program, with free coaching and membership for kids looking to join a new sport. One of the most popular pastimes for all ages is Barefoot Bowls, and the intensity is increasing each year. From Christmas parties through to hens and bucks groups, family groups and community groups, there are always barefoot bowlers out on the greens. On Wednesday nights in Autumn and Spring is Corporate Bowls - a six week networking and social competition for local businesses.

A perfect time to find form For a man known to be one of Noosa’s busiest and most successful real estate agents, it’s a wonder David Conolly can find the time to accommodate his passion for golf. But the game is really important to him and provides a much-needed balance to his corporate life, and David does his best to line up in the Tuesday Club competition at Noosa each week, and again for nine holes with his mates on Friday afternoons. These past few weeks he’s also managed to get in a few early morning stints on the practice range, smacking dozens of wedge shots and honing his swing as the sun gets up. It was this unscheduled practice that David reckons came to the fore when he played in Noosa’s Stableford competition last Tuesday and had, in his own words, ‘just a great round’. Playing off a handicap of 11, David had three birdies, five bogeys and nine pars in a round which could have been even better had it not been for the very last hole. David pushed his tee shot to the right, hoped it was still in play but hit a provisional anyway, and found his first ball inches outside the boundary. He played the provisional and scored a double bogey six. A total of 43 points, however, is good enough to win on most days, and so it proved. David was particularly pleased because the day honoured the memory of Noosa stalwart John Piercy, who founded the Smile for a Child charity, ran many golf charity days and, in its early years, ran the Jack Newton Celebrity Classic tournament Jack Piercy’s son Gregg is a close friend of David’s and, though he was unable to attend the presentation because of work commitments, David was quick to send him a screen shot of the leaderboard to remind his mate of his memorable round. Born and raised in Wagga Wagga, David moved to Sydney, where he entered the real estate industry, and moved to the Sunshine Coast 20 years ago after his aunt died. “I came up to spend time with my uncle, liked the area very much, and decided to stay,” he said. David didn’t know anybody but landed a job in real estate and found success when he linked with David Hay to form the Century 21 partnership now known as the Conolly Hay Group. Together they operate agencies at Noosa, Sunshine Beach, and Peregian Beach, and are responsible for some of the region’s biggest property sales. David is honest about the state of his golf game, though his handicap has been as low as seven. “I don’t chip particularly well and my driving can be erratic,” he said. “But when I hit it straight and find the green with my approaches, I can score pretty well.” Coco might just be the best Moore of all Coco Moore is the youngest of a remarkable trio of Noosa golfing sisters who continues to impress everybody with the diligent, yet joyful, approach she takes to golf. Just 11, Coco has been a regular contender in competitions at Noosa Springs since she gained an official golf handicap little more than a year ago. In October, for example, she won a Saturday competition - scoring 41 Stableford points while playing off a handicap of 25. By last Saturday, her handicap had dropped to 22. But that didn’t stop the ever-smiling Coco taking the Noosa Springs Monthly Medal, scoring a nett 71 and beating a field of women all older than herself. She can add that victory to a resume that is already impressive and includes last November’s Monthly Medal and last year’s C Grade club championship, which also won her the trophy for the best overall nett score. Her sister Sunday, just a few years older, already owns a handicap of seven, and finished just behind the placegetters with a nett 75 on Saturday. She also won this year’s Peter Heini-

Eldest sister Naomi was a champion junior when playing at Noosa Golf Club a few years ago. Tooman in form in Victoria Noosa veteran Simon Tooman shot an outstanding five-under-par 67 to finish second in last weekend’s Legends Pro-Am at Victoria’s Gardiner’s Run golf course. Tooman was just one stroke behind Victorian David McKenzie and continued a consistent run of form for Noosa district golfers on the over-50s tour. Tooman finished fifth at Portsea, 14th at Northern, and 11th at Settler’s Run since the Legends Tour began its Victorian swing, while Yandina’s Brad Burns was fifth at Settler’s Run, and not far away in the other tournaments. Sunshine Coast star Glenn Joyner began the swing in great style, winning at Settler’s Run and Northern. Ladies take centre stage at Noosa Springs If you’re a female golfer, chances are you already know about the Noosa Springs Ladies Golf Series, where golf and glamour get together three times a year. It’s when the ladies play 18 holes of golf in the morning, and follow up with a gourmet lunch, complete with glass of sparkling wine. And there’s also the chance to win a half-day session at one of Australia’s best day spas. This year’s series - back to its full threeround schedule - begins on Tuesday, 20 April, followed by rounds on 6 July and 7 December. Those who play in both legs will be in the running for the major prize - a Half Day Spa Escape, which includes a Thermal Suite Experience and a choice of massage, facial or sugar scrub, plus four rounds of golf in an electric cart. The cost for golf and lunch is $39 for Noosa Springs members, $94 for social and reciprocal members, and $104 for visitors.

The big question is: am I actually getting better? If we aren’t getting better we must review how we practise. Here is an excellent way to look at it from one of the best performance coaches in the world, MBE PhD Dave Aldred. He identifies three types of practise - ‘Repair’, ‘Train’ and ‘Match’. In my opinion, most people get stuck in the Repair mode, also known as fix or fiddle mode. When you make a change to get better follow this principle - 20 per cent Repair, 50 per cent Train and 30 per cent Match. So, moving into Train you start to group balls in piles of five or 10 and set a plan for each. This practise has a purpose. Finally, you get to Match mode. This is when you go on-course with one ball and put the training you have done to the test. If it doesn’t work, repeat the three steps. It might seem a slow way to approach it, but getting better takes time and it will be worth it. Good golfing.

The TNT fifth grade team heads for the finals.

The last ones standing By Randall Woodley Overall, it was a disappointing semi-final weekend for the four Thunder cricket teams but the fifth grade side will be playing its grand final next weekend at Read Park. FIRST GRADE: During the season the first grade team has played 21 matches and scored 3777 runs. But on the weekend it ended up just 23 runs short, which would have seen it play in next weekend’s grand final. Playing the Maroochydore Swans at their home ground in the semi-final, the TNT boys spent most of Saturday in the field bowling against a stubborn team of batsmen who appeared to want to bat for two days. However, all the Thunder bowlers stuck to their tasks and wickets fell regularly. Just after 4pm the last Swans wicket fell at the score of 144 in the 77th over. The best of the Thunder bowlers was spinner Dom Taylor who took 4/24 off 18 overs and Scott Aufderheide 3/48 off his 20 0vers. With a dozen overs to bowl, Thunder openers Jake Dennien and Alex Bennett started strongly and at stumps the team was in sound position at 0/27. Overnight rain delayed the start on Sunday and left the Thunder to bat with a very slow outfield. The Swans struck early and the visitors were soon down three wickets. All the Thunder batsmen found it hard to score runs on the dead wicket and the only one able to pass 20 was Chris Wright (21). Despite some defiant stands, the Thunder team fell short of

the target - all out for 122. Next weekend the Swans will play Caboolture in the grand final. They surprisingly defeated Glasshouse who were on top of the table. The season has ended for the team and although gutted after yesterday’s loss they should feel proud of their efforts during the season with 16 wins and a draw from 21 matches, and only four defeats. This would be one of the best season results for some years. THIRD GRADE: The team travelled up the range to play Maleny in their semi-final at the showground oval and batted first. Veteran Jason Toohey dug in and provided an innings for the other batsmen to play around. After losing a couple of wickets he was joined by Nigel Webster and they began consolidating the innings until Webster was out to what was considered a poor decision. The Thunder went to lunch at 4/38. Toohey was out soon after lunch but cameos by Troy Dennien (20) and Harrison Lea (15) helped the team to a competitive total of 96. Bowling late in the afternoon, the Thunder appeared to be on top of Maleny and at stumps they were 7/69, still 27 runs behind. The best bowling figures were from Harrison Lea with 1/5 off six overs, Ben Giddy 1/11, Brett Fordyce 1/10 and Jason Toohey 1/19 off 12. On day two the team began the day feeling optimistic about a win but their hopes were dashed as the Maleny batsmen defied the bowling and kept batting. They were eventu-

ally all out for 130. Both teams batted a second time but at the end of the day the team from the mountains was the winner. This was a good season for the boys with new skipper Nick Bennett and with the team spirit within the group very obvious they are set to go one better next season. FIFTH GRADE: Playing the Maroochydore Swans at Caloundra the Thunder were asked to bowl first. The boys picked straight up from where they left off from last week and bowled the Swans out for 74. Ben Shaw was the pick of the bowlers, taking 4/16 off 10. Mike Thomson, at his usual best, took 2/27 off 13 and the team’s real-life Viking, Luke Anstey, knocked off 3/16 in his 12 overs. Dave Baker running late saw TNT turn to young gun Cooper Lea to keep - a masterstroke that saw Dave Baker at first slip taking three absolutely incredible catches that made a big difference. Batting second, the Thunder finished the day leading by 25 on the first innings at 6/99. The best scores were from Tony Watson 32, Cooper Lea 26 and Steve Hill 25. Day two saw the TNT innings fold early all out for 108. Maroochydore batted a second time and declared at 2/159 going for an outright win. TNT struggled in the second innings but was able to hold out and at stumps was into its grand final next Saturday. It seems that the match will be played at Read Park starting at 10am. Supporters are encouraged to turn up to cheer the only remaining Thun-

der team to a championship win. SIXTHS GRADE: The boys almost pulled off Mission Impossible over the weekend in their semi-final against top team, Palmwoods. With most of Saturday washed out, the TNT team began batting again on Sunday at 4/27. They struggled to score runs and were eventually bowled out for 74 with the top scorers Shane Gesell 28, Brendan Chaplin 19, and Justin Talbot 17. Palmwoods, batting second, did not start well losing a wicket in the first over to be 1/0. Youngster Finn Mayo opened at the other end and after conceding a run off his first ball, clean bowled the Palmwoods skipper for a golden duck with his second - 2/1 off two. Palmwoods found the going just as tough as had TNT but started to tick over the scoring to be 27 in the 11th over before Wayne Moore took his first wicket. With the wickets continuing to fall, Palmwoods found themselves at 9/56 with 22 runs still to be scored. Their tailenders then got them over the line for the win. The top wicket-takers for TNT were Wayne Moore 4/23, and Shane Gesell 2/4 with Talbot, Mayo and Brendan Chaplin taking a wicket each. It seems that this was the last match for Joe Jurisevic in TNT colours. He retires after racking up 123 matches, 1038 runs, 46 wickets and 40 catches and the odd run out over 10 seasons with the club. Next season is set to again see this team inside the top four.

Kicking goals for community footy across Queensland Community AFL clubs across Queensland will be the big winners of a new $8 million partnership announced between the State Government and the Australian Football League (AFL) to increase participation and support the delivery of new facilities. The partnership will see the AFL match the Palaszczuk Government’s Grand Final Infrastructure legacy funding dollar for dollar. Community clubs, schools and local councils can apply for funding to support the delivery of venue improvements such as sports lighting, female friendly change rooms, new AFL fields, or upgrades to existing fields. Member for Nicklin, Robert Skelton MP, said sporting clubs on the Sunshine Coast are the heart and soul of our community. 52 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 12 March, 2021

“In a Covid-impacted world, community sport is more important than ever before. Football clubs bring people together and provide an environment to not only keep Queenslanders healthy and active but tackle the challenges of mental health, social disconnection, and digital disruption,” he said. “This is a great opportunity to back AFL in Nicklin. “Alongside our funding to help clubs be ready for sport and our FairPlay vouchers, this is another exciting step in supporting more locals get into sport. “In 2020, Queensland played a critical role in helping the AFL deliver the 2020 premiership season and now we want to see our community football clubs, their volunteers and players benefit through improved facilities.

“Since 2014 there has been a massive shift in the profile of players with 42 per cent of all participants now female so it is important we work together, and with other levels of government, to improve community facilities to cater for all users.” AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan said having good facilities was key to helping clubs attract and retain players. “Across Queensland, more females are playing footy than ever before yet in some regional areas just over one quarter of venue facilities are female friendly and less than 45 per cent have adequate lighting,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if your club is in Cairns, Coorparoo or Coolangatta, we know that if facilities are not up to scratch it makes it

more challenging to attract and retain players. “We are an inclusive sport, our female pathways now run from Auskick through to the elite game, and we need to continue to improve this imbalance while delivering new greenspace in areas where growth is occurring. “Off the back of the historic year that saw Queensland become the unofficial home of the AFL, it’s fantastic to be partnering with the Queensland Government on this initiative which will deliver benefits to many clubs over the coming years. “On behalf of the AFL, I want to again say thank you to the Queensland community who threw their support behind our game in 2020.”

Yolandie is raising the bar Yolandie Weir is a shining example of both USC’s High Performance Student Athlete (HPSA) program, and the 2021 International Women’s Day theme of ‘Choose to Challenge’. Weir, 34, is an Australian record-holding weightlifter in three under-49kg women’s categories, despite chronic medical conditions that hospitalised her several times last year. She’s also a single mum of two boys aged nine and 10, working as a personal trainer on the Sunshine Coast and in strength and conditioning at the Brisbane Lions’ youth academy. And she’s a full-time USC Sport and Exercise Science student who showed such adaptability in balancing university with her other commitments during the Covid-affected 2020 that she has just been awarded a new bursary. The Bokarina resident last week received USC’s inaugural David Norris Bursary, designed to encourage student athletes with academic potential and financial need to complete tertiary education to achieve their academic, sporting and career goals. Weir said she was honoured “beyond words” to receive the bursary and delighted that her two sons were on campus at USC Sunshine Coast to witness the presentation. “It’s this type of generosity and support from donors and the HPSA program that make it possible to successfully juggle life as an athlete, full-time student, business owner and single mum,” the third-year student said. Her goals are set high. She intends to become an exercise scientist, study to a PhD, and fulfil a dream to build a gym and research facility on a rural property where people with chronic illnesses can be treated with innovative exercise methodologies. In weightlifting, she is training for a place in the 2022 Commonwealth Games in England. And in life, this former elite boxer, powerlifter and marathon kayaker wants her children to see what mums can do. Weir said Choose to Challenge was the perfect theme for women on Monday, 8 March. “Last year threw me a curve ball, with everything from home schooling to my renal failure and heart issues, but I didn’t defer. I soldiered on. I only had to ask for one extension and I got a great grade point average,” she said. “When I fell pregnant years ago, there was lots of negativity about how I’d be limited as a mum in what I could achieve, and I did question whether I should be making these time and financial sacrifices. “But I realised that I’m setting my boys an awesome example. They see me working hard to have a career I’m passionate about. It’s for our future.” Of course, there’s also the fact she lifts more than her body weight, after six weeks ago winning three national titles for clean and jerk (73kg), snatch (55kg), and total lift (128kg). She also came third in her category of the 2021 Pacific Islands Email Tournament, where 590 lifters from 20 countries in the region competed online. “I think for so long women were underesti-

They’re pushing boundaries and setting examples for the younger generation.” The David Norris Bursary has been established by Dr Rae Norris in memory of her

late father, an Australian springboard diving champion selected in the 1948 Olympic team. Weir was one of 11 student athletes involved in USC’s HPSA program to receive scholarships and bursaries last week during orientation.

Migrant swimming program is ready to make a splash Registrations are now open for migrants ready to jump into the Migrant Learn to Swim and Beach Safe program run by Sunshine Coast Council and Royal Life Saving Society Queensland. The popular classes are designed specifically for migrant men and women and will be held at Goodlife Community Centre, Buderim (women only), Nambour and Caloundra Aquatic Centres, plus Bulcock Beach, Caloundra, for seven weeks from 20 March. Indian migrant Monika Manot lives with her family on the Sunshine Coast and participated in the program last year. “I always had a fear of water and I didn’t know how to swim when I first came to Australia,” she said. “The lovely instructors gave us lessons on how to be comfortable in the water, what to do and what not to do when you panic. I enjoyed the lessons, they gave an opportunity to meet other migrants as well. “If you’re thinking about learning to swim

or coming down to the beach make sure you give the program a go.” Sunshine Coast Council Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said people living healthy and active lifestyles was a key goal of council’s Sunshine Coast Community Strategy 2019-2041. “This is a great opportunity for migrants to build their confidence in the water and at the beach and make new connections with others,” Cr Law said. “The program is aligned with the Swim and Survive program, which is Australia’s only swimming program aligned to the National Swimming and Water Safety Framework, and also the only program endorsed by Education Queensland.” Royal Surf Life Saving Society Queensland Executive Director Paul Barry said for people born overseas, the beach was the second most common place to drown. “Beach safety is paramount and the program can accept people who may have very

little swimming skills,” Mr Barry said. “The program is not just swimming lessons, but also includes water safety and survival components. “This includes things such as floating, wearing lifejackets, survival techniques and aquatic fitness. During the beach components, participants will learn about the ocean including things such as rips, currents, lifeguards, and safe and unsafe swimming locations. “This is also about encouraging people to become active and enjoy the water in a safe manner. Research has shown that a fit and healthy lifestyle helps reduce social isolation and for those who may be new to Australia, social inclusion into the Australian lifestyle and culture becomes a way of life.” Registrations close soon. A welcome day will be held on Saturday, 13 March and sessions run from 20 March until 8 May (excluding Easter Sunday).

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt

Mal season is underway This weekend’s sixth annual Noosa Logger contest marks the slightly belated start of the competitive longboard season, usually a time for festivities and reunions as much as for fierce rivalry in the water. Of course, with the uncertainties of Covid-19 still with us, it won’t be quite the same this year, with fewer interstate competitors and almost no internationals, other than those who have seen the light and now live here. But it’s great to see the events back even in a reduced form. The last longboard comp held in Noosa was the Noosa Festival of Surfing and the WSL Noosa Open, back in February 2020, just before the pandemic took over our lives. The 2020 Logger had to be cancelled, so the fact that it kicks off our emergence from the big, black hole this year is a bonus for hosts, the Noosa Malibu Club. Everyone from groms to grandpas will be rarin’ to go. The open men’s field, led by defending champ and former world champ Josh Constable, is red hot, with all of Noosa’s highachieving longboarders in the mix, including Harrison Roach, Zye Norris, Nic Brewer, Dane Wilson and Matt Cuddihy. Other Sunny Coasters include Bowie Pollard, Alex Bullpitt and transplanted internationals Husni Ridwa from Java and Connor Griffiths from Wales. The local contingent in the open women’s division is led by sisters Emily and Charlotte Lethbridge, alongside Rosie Locke, Kirra Molnar and Jade Gower, with Hawaii’s Mason Schremmer (attending university here) the lone international. There are hot fields in both girls and boys junior divisions, with the Smales brothers, Landen and Kaiden heading up the boys and pocket rocket Luca Doble looking good in the girls. The full-to-the-brim age divisions are also looking highly competitive, with seasoned local talent like Glenn Gower, Wally Allan and Reid Johnson featuring, while the codger events look like battles to the death, with the two Micks – Corcoran and Vaisnys – lined up against Ian Borland and your humble correspondent in the over 60s mens, and Peppie Simpson, Marnie Morat and Kate Perry flying the local colours in the over 45 women. No doubt there’ll be time for a brew or two at the Heads of Noosa Tap Room, the venue for Friday’s signing on and Sunday’s presentation, with surfboards by locals Creative Army, Classic Malibu, Thomas and Andrew Warhurst to be won. All that’s missing at the time of writing is the surf, but a few prayers might fix that, hopefully allowing the Logger to run at First Point. Right after the Logger, many of the competitors will be heading straight up to Agnes Water for the longboard classic, this year a five-day event with pro divisions and plenty of social activity enlivening the village. (Life of Brine will be on hand to report.) And midMay sees the return of the Noosa Festival of Surfing. Now free of the Covid restrictions on major events, the festival is expected to draw big crowds over its nine days of surfing and beach partying. Knocking the festival back into May, largely due to Covid considerations, may have seemed like a risky move, but the way the autumn surf season has been shaping so far, it might turn out to be very smart. Let’s hope we see a couple of swells flush out the banks at First Point and a long run of consistent east swell for May. Meanwhile, down south… While we’re waxing up the longboards in Queensland, the World Surf League’s qualifying series in NSW has been giving the tour pros an opportunity to limber up for the start of the Australian leg of a very different-looking WSL world tour in Newcastle from 1 April . With the first of four Australian events that could well decide the 2021 titles for men and women just weeks away, the homegrown stars were all getting their feet in the wax at 54 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 12 March, 2021

Luca Doble, 2019 Logger. the Sisstrevolution and Vissla Central Coast Pro events at Avoca Beach last weekend in heavy, challenging surf. By finals time many of the big names, including our own Julian Wilson, had been eliminated, but Sally Fitzgibbons made the women’s semis and young star Macy Callaghan finished second to local Molly Picklum in an exciting final. In the men’s WA’s Jacob Willcox went down to former world tour surfer Matt Banting, after the veteran grabbed a keeper in the dying minutes. The WSL internationals arrived by chartered aircraft this week (minus Kelly Slater and Caroline Marks) to begin their 14-day quarantine in NSW ahead of the Newcastle event. Contests at Sydney’s North Narrabeen and WA’s Margaret River and Rottnest Island will follow over a two-month season that is like no other, with Coolangatta’s Super Bank and Bells Beach out of the mix for the first time since the pro tour began. For the WSL, this could be a make or break year, so let’s hope that all of the tour events are blessed with good waves.

NOOSA AFC TIGER TALK 202103085735_1-SG12-21

All happening at Tigerland By Julian Pitts We’re getting close to the start of the QAFL season with plenty happening at Tigerland. There’s a newly-formed committee both at senior and junior level, new coaches, new recruits, a new general manager, new helpers, new sponsors, new supporters, and a working bee! These are just the catalyst to signify the start of yet another exciting Aussie Rules season for the Rococo Bar Noosa Tigers. It starts this Saturday when the first official practice matches take place at Weyba Road, Noosaville. The Tigers take on the 2020 QAFL flag winners Morningside in what should be a ripping contest and a baptism of fire into the QAFL (don’t tell the Noosa boys it’s just a warm up match). The main game starts at 2pm with the Reserves and Colts preceding and the premiership-winning women’s team following the senior game. Senior coach Adam ‘Bova’ Bovalino is looking forward to the contest. “Yeah really exciting to test ourselves in a practice match against one of the state’s perennial heavyweights,“ he said. “Our pre-season has been terrific and I could not have asked if more of the boys. “Aside from the on-field stuff, I reckon our connection off-field has been awesome. “Our players camp last week at The Shed was one of the best days and nights I’ve ever been involved with.” When Bova was asked who has stood out over pre-season he said, “Buntain has been super and is in terrific shape. I rate him as one of the top defenders in Queensland and I’ll think

Tigers players flying high. the Tiger faithful will see this in 2021. Our skipper Laskey of course, he hasn’t put a foot wrong whilst I’ve been super impressed with young Angus Smyth who has dominated match practice thus far. Recruits Aaron Wilson and Ben Fleming have shown why they were so sought after, and Ben Guthrie and Dylan Godwin who have just arrived have also been impressive.“ Noosa has had some great turn-outs to junior training as well, plus Auskick is going great guns on a Friday afternoon (with over 100 kids). The junior committee is working hard to get everything organised for what will be another huge junior footy season. For anyone interested in signing up for junior footy

this year, the club is still taking registrations. Just head to: https://play.afl/club-finder, type in “Noosaville”, and follow the links. The footy season is back, you little beauty! President Rob Purves has done a wonderful job working with the fantastic club sponsors and getting the club ready for a huge season on and off the field. The Tigers’ committee has also employed a new general manager in Matt McEwan, who has come across from Queensland Cricket. The club also continues to be at the forefront of Covid-19 compliance, which will continue this year.

The club’s president’s luncheons are returning for six home games and Noosa is in the process of locking in Footscray legend Doug Hawkins, Essendon great Terry Daniher, Carlton larrikin Jimmy Buckley and Sunrise sports reporter Mark Beretta. Stay tuned for more info for the 2021 luncheons. Noosa’s media team has been working overtime in providing up to date information through Tiger TV, and the Facebook page. Just search for the Noosa Tigers Facebook page for all you need to know and find out what’s happening in Tigerland. See you at the footy on Saturday!

PROPERTY NEWS

TOP END CONTINUES TO SOAR PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY DESPITE warnings a year ago the Australian property market would fall off a cliff due to the outbreak of Covid-19, the opposite has happened. Regional areas such as Noosa have thrived due to the services available, the lifestyle on offer and the confidence buyers have in the market. In times of stress people turned to a name they could trust... Noosa. Analysts say the strength of the market is due to a combination of recordlow mortgage rates, a strong economic recovery, and buyer demand being strong against relatively low levels of stock. The tightness of the market and the quality of product on offer is critical in Noosa’s case with prices on the rise as buyers leave the cities and head for coastal areas with dreams of working from home.

Gordon Macdonald calls the bidding while Sunshine Beach Real Estate’s Rob Spencer works behind the scenes for the auction at 48 Bryan St, Sunshine Beach, on Saturday. 230647

A penthouse apartment at Infinity on Gympie Tce, has sold for $5,500,000 – a record price for an apartment in Noosaville. 230647

buyers in the market around $12m-$14m mark. Most interest at the moment is coming from Sydney and Melbourne, a lot from Brisbane and locally. During the Covid lockdown in the southern states people were happy to trust the Noosa market. They felt very comfortable to buy... especially the top-end properties. “People are seeing Noosa as a safe bet,’’ Kate said. “They cannot go overseas, they cannot spend, so they are putting their money in what they see as a safe bet. “Noosa is seen as safe... it’s clean, it’s safe, it’s sunny. “They know the beaches, they know the restaurants.’’ And those with money love the privacy Noosa offers through its geography - water everywhere with the river and the ocean, the national park. “It all links up. Interesting houses and interesting people. “People love what is going on around them, whether it is listening to the birds, the sound of the waves at the beach, or the breeze through the trees.’’ One segment of the market that is really hot is holiday houses, Kate said. Anything that can be holiday-let to create an income. RIGHT ON SONG Going to the auction Saturday of 48 Bryan

St, Sunshine Beach, really jogged my memory on how good the area can be. The beautiful three-bedroom, two-plus bathroom beach house was being marketed by Rob Spencer and Pip Covell of Sunshine Beach Real Estate. It had a real sunshine village feel to it. You know, the cottage hidden away among the trees and a short walk down the street to the village and surf club. I’m not sure of how many parties we would have been to in Bryan St through the years but mornings such as last week reminded me of its prized position. This original Stephen Kidd-designed house has undergone a significant renovation by Carole Tretheway of Noosa’s ctdesign, and fitted into the landscape perfectly. The renovation was carried out in consultation with Stephen, to ensure the integrity and character of the home was protected. The views are surprising from this ridgeline, stretching from the national park and along the coast towards Coolum. With Gordon Macdonald calling the event, it saw a $2m start and the auctioneer looking for a rise to $2.50m. The question was asked from the deck of $2.6m. “What about 2.7?’’ The auctioneer asked. “Six,’’ was the reply … 2.6, 2.7, 2.75.

The view from the renovated Stephen Kidddesigned house at 48 Bryan St, Sunshine Beach, that went to auction on Saturday. 230647

“All eyes are on you … and the view,’’ the auctioneer challenged the bidder on the deck. That saw 2.8, 2.850 then the auctioneer go to $3m on behalf of the seller. “You won’t hear from me again,’’ he said. “At $3m... with this view.’’ Bidding reached $3.025m then after a pause it went to $3.2m. That’s when 45 minutes of negotiation by Rob Spencer saw the property sell to Sunshine Coast interest for $3,550,000. It was a very healthy result for the character home with big ocean views.

ON THE COVER

WHERE NOOSA RIVER MEETS THE CORAL SEA THE striking grand designer residence known as Eden, is set amongst the trees and botanical-like native gardens on one of the largest waterfront reserve parcels on the Noosa North Shore. A safe, secure, stunningly beautiful oasis, ideal for highflyers seeking an unrivalled lifestyle. It simply has it all. The sweeping praise-worthy facade of the modernist marvel has geometric lines, a palette of strategically placed hanging gardens, natural stone, timber, and glass, plus the water’s edge is ostensibly an extension of the front garden, all adding to the cultivation of a sunny state of mind, and the notion of island-style living. Nature is omnipresent throughout the estate, especially around the stunning river and creek-fed lake. The most formidable 180-degree views however encompass the north-easterly aspect, where the Coral Sea meets the Noosa River, stretch across the Noosa Spit, Noosa National Park, Noosa Parade, the meandering blue-green Noosa River foreshore with its bevy of classy restaurants, and beyond. From the portico and atrium entrance lobby, everything is generous to a fore, evokes a timeless aesthetic with clean lines, finishes such as marble flooring throughout are high-specification, light pours down the staircases in both wings, and walls of glass offer panoramic water and garden views. Symptomatic of the residence are suites reminiscent of a boutique hotel. On the ground floor the guest suite has a sitting room, ensuite and walk- in robe, while upstairs the mega space is devoted to a 2-bedroom 2-bathroom master retreat with a doublezone living/bedroom/flexi area, affording those magnificent water views. In the separate north wing, it’s about boutique hotel-style with added sumptuosity in the king master suite. Wake up to wide views of the Noosa River mouth and Noosa Heads, enjoy tea on the balcony, and languish in the freestanding bathtub, which is part of the open bathroom. The walk-in robe/dressing room is designed for a fashionista, and there is a dedicated study area. The major living spaces are also on-song with luxe and seamlessly open out on three sides to terraces, sun decks, a gazebo plus an exceptionally long, multi-angled pool with Balinese volcanic rock tiles. This is next-level outdoor living. Entertaining options are aplenty, so one would expect the kitchen to be commensurate. With an oversized butler’s

pantry, ditto the marble-topped island bench/breakfast bar, and so much more, of course it is. The natural flora-filled parklike garden at the rear, is filled with birdattracting native shrubs, palms, statuesque gum trees, and is often visited by fauna such as kangaroos. “What a pristine, peaceful, undeniably outstanding, yet private location,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter. “Paddle to the Noosa River mouth or to the Everglades at sunrise; reel in whiting from ‘your’ sandy shore; discover stunning local beaches nearby with topnotch fishing and surfing; remember it is only 5-minutes by boat across the river to Noosaville’s Gympie Terrace, and a little further on is vibrant Noosa Heads with its world-class national park, beach, restaurants and shopping. “The world really is your oyster at Eden, on the waterfront of Noosa North Shore.” Facts and Features: Land Size: 1.61ha House Size: 1049m² Pool: volcanic Balinese stone; long multi angled design Garaging: 3 + workspace internally; 3 car/boat in purpose-built shed About: NE aspect; organic materials such as natural stone and timber; ducted aircon/fans; 5m high ceilings; electronic glass louvres; floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors Kitchen: marble bench tops incl 6m island/breakfast bar; appliances in kitchen/butlers pantry incl Miele dishwasher, espresso machine, double ovens, cooktop, microwave and double height wine fridge; Fisher & Paykel dble fridge; banks of storage and soft close drawers Security: sensor alarms External: botanical-style garden incl hanging gardens designed by award-winning Grow Collective; fully irrigated; bio-cycle stem in place; river/creek-fed lake/dam w pontoon; approval for artist’s studio; stands of palms incl coconut, eucalypts, bird-attracting natives; 7Kw solar system; 70,000L underground water tanks filtered from roof Location: peaceful pristine Noosa North Shore w National Park surrounds; regular vehicular ferry service from Tewantin w short drive through rainforest; nearby beaches with top fishing and surfing; Hastings Street less than 700m away by boat; 5 mins to Gympie Terrace; 30 mins drive to local airport w capital city connections; 90 mins drive to Brisbane ●

THE ULTIMATE RESIDENCE ON 31 ACRES IT’S near impossible for those who have a love of equestrian but also a love for the surf to find a property that allows them to enjoy both. It’s often a case of living in town but having to pay for horse agistment elsewhere - or, living in the hinterland to accommodate farm life, but with a 20-30 minute drive into Noosa everyday to get the kids to school, or to get to the beach (if there’s ever any time to enjoy it with day to day schedules). What if we told you that you could have both, PLUS a 4566 Noosaville address. 12.52 flat and useable fenced hectares, an existing two level, north facing residence constructed with a steel frame and double brick exteriors, as well as a fantastic pool area just ready and waiting for Summer use. With perks such as the “Noosa Par 3” golf course as our neighbour, “Bunnings” and the Noosa Civic just 2 minutes away, and the Noosa River and Hastings Street another 10 minutes from there - all this in just one property is unheard of.

HOME FOCUS

REAP THE REWARDS ON LARGE ALLOTMENT NOOSA River makes its tranquil passage to and from the glistening waters of Lake Weyba mere fifty metres from the rear boundary gate of this secluded Noosaville address. Leafy gardens frame the single storey brick and tile home as it squares to the curve of the peaceful avenue, with a small footbridge over an entry pond connecting a full width patio under a timber pergola. Straddling the north facing waterside allotment the home captures breezes and a desirable aspect, with the delightful bonus of a private outlook across the riverside park. Sliding and fixed glass windows and doors draw light, while a traditional floor plan of the day places all living and kitchen areas to the east, with bedrooms bathroom and laundry stepped along the hall. A single lock up garage is under roof and the boundary setback provides room for the old carport and garden shed. Built in the day when bricks and concrete were standard issue in construction, the home is as solid as the day it was built and would readily lend itself to remodeling, extending or, if the desire for a new home is high on the wish list the land will readily accommodate. Overwhelming demand for rental properties on the Sunshine Coast is sure to facilitate a steady return whilst you decide the properties future. A river breeze from the south and natural light from the north is always a great way to start the day. You can let your imagination run wild to suit the generous land content. With the weekly farmers market a stroll through the park and a morning walk to catch up with mates at the

After 18 years successfully selling properties in Tewantin, Noosaville and the surrounding areas I still feel privileged to assist people to sell their biggest asset and to achieve the best outcome. Numerous client testimonials attest to the analytical advice, personal support, marketing skill and negotiation finesse I apply to maximise the sale price. Here's one of my recent testimonials.

Roger makes selling a hassle-free and an enjoyable experience and he gets results! Roger went above and beyond to stage our house appropriately and to give us guidance at every step of the sale process. We found Roger to be organised, reliable, very honest and ultimately the results speak for themselves - our house sold sight unseen within a week of it being advertised for sale. We can’t thank Roger enough and would highly recommend him as a trusted performer in the Noosa region. Call me today is discuss your property requirements.
