Behind the fraud By Phil Jarratt
12497020-DL22-21
Less than a week before Christmas, Jodi Nuske should have been at home planning the festivities with her family: instead the Noosaville mum was being led out of Maroochydore District Court to begin a seven-year jail sentence after being found guilty of defrauding her former employer, Noosa’s high-end beachfront restaurant Bistro C, of more than $600,000. The verdict, delivered after less than two hours’ deliberation, brought to an end the 10day trial and more than three years of sensational claims and counter-claims since Nuske, now 44, was first charged with “stealing as a
servant” more than $1 million in July 2019 following a two-year investigation by Noosa detectives. While the size of the fraud was chipped back as the case went through two trials, from an initial $1 million to $769,000 and finally to just under $613,000, the owners of the restaurant, the Banks family, have claimed that the amount stolen from them over more than a decade was much higher. The length of the sentence – half the maximum 14 years – must have been a bitter blow for a mother of young children, although Nuske showed no emotion as it was handed down. The court as yet has made no decision on parole eligibility but Nuske should auto-
matically be paroled after three-and-a-half years, unless Judge Gary Long finds otherwise. Known to her high school friends as a smart, vibrant and fun-loving companion, and to her early employers (including over her first several at Bistro C) as honest and hard-working, Jodi Nuske took a wrong turn somewhere. How? Why? Born Jodi Louise Cashmore in Victoria in January 1978, Jodi and her older sister grew up with a strong work ethic implanted by father John, who owned a successful plumbing business servicing Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs, and mother Ann, who had a keen
eye for fashion retail. The Cashmores had family connections in Noosa and holidayed here frequently with cousins, aunts and uncles in the early ‘90s as Jodi entered her teens. During those vacations, Jodi made a network of friends through a cousin, so when the Cashmores sold the plumbing business and made a permanent move to Noosa, she was among friends when she enrolled at Noosa District High for the final years of her schooling. According to some of those friends, Jodi was academically smart but more interested in having fun than topping the class. Continued page 6

Disaster assistance is now available to help restore the heritage-listed buildings and places that were damaged by the extraordinary rainfall and flooding events of the 2021–2022 severe weather season. The $500,000 Heritage Disaster Recovery Grant program is jointly funded by the Albanese and Palaszczuk governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DFRA) and will be administered by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science (DES). Property owners in 39 local government areas impacted by severe weather events are eligible to apply, including Noosa. Federal Emergency Management Minister Murray Watt said grants of $10,000 to $35,000 will provide assistance for Queensland’s heritage listed places, and that funding can be used for projects such as restumping, reroofing, repairs to timber framing and weatherboards, repointing of brick or stonework, or painting. “Projects that will make heritage-listed buildings and their contents more resilient to future disaster events, such as installing damp-proofing systems or sacrificial linings to protect significant fabrics, are also eligible,” Minister Watt said. Queensland Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said a number of state heritage-listed places had been affected by rainfall, flooding or cyclones in recent disaster events. “These grants will help ensure Queensland’s significant heritage-listed places are restored and protected for further generations,” Ms Scanlon said. Applications for the Heritage Disaster Re-

The Sunshine Coast will be a hive of activity this summer with two AFL and two NRL teams coming to town for pre-season training. Port Adelaide Football Club was the first AFL team to arrive in early December, followed by Carlton Football Club at the end of January. The teams will base their training camp activities from Sunshine Coast Council’s Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex. The Brisbane Broncos will also spend a week on the Sunshine Coast for a training camp in between their two pre-season trial matches against the Gold Coast Titans and North Queensland Toyota Cowboys at Sunshine Coast Stadium in February. Tickets for the trial games are on sale at ticketek.com.au After the pre-season trial, the Cowboys will remain on the Coast for a training session with discussions with other NRL and AFL clubs ongoing for additional training camps. Sunshine Coast Council economy portfolio Councillor Jason O’Pray said the re-
gion had firmly established itself as an ideal destination for elite sporting clubs. “Four teams from two different sporting codes coming to the Sunshine Coast for pre-season training was excellent to showcase the region to the rest of the world,” Cr O’Pray said. “The popularity of the Sunshine Coast as a location for training camps is not only a direct reflection of our quality facilities such as the Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex and Sunshine Coast Stadium, but our beautiful climate and world-class beaches.” An open training session will be held at Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex for Carlton Football Club on Wednesday 1 February from 10am Fans can register to attend at tradablebits.com/tb_app/480866 Brisbane Broncos will also host an open training session at Sunshine Coast Stadium with details to be announced.

Carlton Football Club will train on the Sunshine Coast in February.
It was a hectic start to the New Year in Noosa. New Year’s Eve celebrations kicked off for us at Noosa Marina where The Sandflys were rocking the joint and people were joyful and ready to party. Sadly we had to move on to see what was happening in other parts of Noosa and found a throng of out-of-town teenagers had taken over Main Beach. It’s a mystery to me why they travel here to wander around in the dark on the beach. I know people say it’s what we did as kids - go to the beach and have a good time. But did you really go there with 5000 others? There was no entertainment for them and while some were happy to be there with friends, the mood radiated overall was not one of happiness. With beautiful summer weather during the days the beach has been the place to be, certainly for the 14,000 a day motorists (council figures) who have headed to Noosa. On Monday we parked at Noosa Junction and took a leisurely stroll over the hill to main beach, beating the free bus which was stuck in traffic, just to catch a glimpse of the action. Beyond the Cabanas the beach was spectacular. Welcome to 2023.

Big year ahead for Coco By Phil Jarratt Right now you could be forgiven for thinking that Noosa’s fastest rising surf star, just finishing a stellar year in which she became the Australian under 18 junior champion, and starting a year in which she is first pick for the Irukandjis team for the International Surfing Association World Juniors in El Salvador, might have stars in her eyes. On the contrary, Tewantin’s smooth as silk natural-footer Coco Cairns is putting her foot on the brake, anxious to slow down her forward trajectory to a sensible pace. “I’m not trying to get on the world tour tomorrow,” she tells Noosa Today. “I think I need to grow up a bit first.” It’s a great attitude for a 17-year-old to develop, since Australia’s surfing history is littered with child prodigies who crashed and burned. And at the start of last year California’s Caitlin Simmers passed on her qualification for the championship tour at 16 to give herself more time to mature. After a great year on the qualifying series, Caitlin has qualified for 2023, but Coco and her surf-mad family are wisely taking it one step at a time. Typically, asked to nominate her highlight of 2022, Coco goes not to her courageous victory at the Nationals in challenging conditions at North Stradbroke in early December, but to a month-long California sojourn with a few Noosa surf buddies. She says: “It was my first time there and it was just sick. We surfed [famed surf break] Trestles just about every day, but it was a girls’ fun trip, no competition. But we did get to watch the WSL finals series, when my favourite female surfer in the world, Steph Gilmore, won her eighth world title and surfed brilliantly. That was pretty cool.” The greatest of all time in women’s surfing, having surpassed Layne Beachley’s seven world titles last September, Steph Gilmore is a hero and role model for Coco, as she is for so many young surf girls on the way up. But over the past couple of years as Coco has developed as a surfer, stylistic comparisons with Steph have been made by several observers. Whether she’s free-surfing the hectic Noosa points or competing in crunchy beach breaks, Coco has the ability to smooth out the rough edges on even the most explosive manoeuvres, creating a flow to her surfing that is beautiful to watch. But as much as she admires her, Coco is no Steph clone. Something of a surf sponge, she says she takes ideas and inspiration wherever she finds it, whether it’s from local longtime rival and friend Lil Bowrey or fellow serial finalists in the junior divisions, like Keira Buckpitt and Oceanna Rogers. She’s also following the careers of the young qualifiers for the 2023 championship tour, like Molly Picklum and fellow Sunny Coaster Sophie McCulloch. She says: “I surfed quite a bit with Molly when I was young, like in the pro juniors, and she’s always been an inspiration. We surf very differently but I love her style, a bit like Tyler Wright. And Sophie McCulloch won at Haleiwa and qualified for the tour on the same day that I won the Aussies at Straddie last month. I was so stoked for her!” With South African-born parents Carol and prolific videographer Shaun Cairns, along with younger surfing brother Kaimana to keep her

grounded, Coco is not drawing a timeline to the top just yet. She knows that making the championship tour requires a lot of hard work and commitment as well as ability. She says: “Right now I’m just focused on improving my surfing, but I’m thinking of the free surfing option because I don’t want to put too much pressure on myself. I’ll just do the qualifying comps that are close by, like Cabarita.” With her final year of school coming up, that’s smart
thinking, but there’s also the World Juniors coming up in El Salvador in just a few months. Coco says: “I’m so excited about that, representing Australia, but I’m also excited about going free surfing with friends and improving by surfing different breaks. I really want to qualify for the tour, but in an ideal world I’d spend a year or two being a professional free surfer first.” And with several years’ experience as a Roxy Girl and a growing sponsor list that
includes surfboards from Noosa’s Campbell Designed, she is sure to get commercial support for that. But right now, Coco’s got her first car – a 1980s Jeep with a couple of hundred ks on the clock, just right for heading up the beach to avoid the crowds – and it’s summer time and there’s swell, and in the words of the old Cyndi Lauper song, “girls just wanna have fun”.

Police confiscate alcohol from teenagers at Main Beach.
Teens run amok on NYE By Margie Maccoll It’s appalling, was how one Noosa detective described the behaviour of teenagers, most from outside the shire, who set off a flare, threw bottles at mounted police, assaulted police and harassed passersby on Main Beach this New Year’s Eve. “Disgusting, drunken juveniles. It was terrible,” said senior sergeant Anthony Cowan who arrived in Noosa only a couple of weeks ago to take on the role of officer in charge. “Most kids aren’t from here. They come here with no supervision and run amok. A lot were 13-14 year olds. We were ringing their parents in Brisbane. “They were saying (their children) were going to stay with a friend. Some slept in cars.” One local 16-year-old who came to the beach to meet friends, surveyed the unruly crowd outside the surf club before telling Noosa Today, “I don’t like seeing Noosa like this” and left the area. As they have for the past few years thousands of teenagers from across South East Queensland congregated in front of Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Club on New Years Eve. There was no entertainment provided but still the teens came to mingle on the beach in front of Noosa Surf Club with police, ambulance officers and Red Frogs network maintaining order and providing support. Police from Noosa, Sunshine Coast, Child Protection and Investigation Unit (CPIU) and mounted police from Brisbane operated from a temporary base set up in Hastings Street alongside a medical unit set up by Queensland Ambulance Services officers and a base for Red Frogs Support Network. Police met arriving buses mid-afternoon, confiscating and emptying out large amounts of alcohol being brought in by underage teenagers. In a glassing attack about 10.40pm on Main Beach a 15-year-old boy was struck multiple times with a broken bottle. Two boys fled the scene but were located
Teenagers mingle outside the surf club. later in the evening, the second of the two, the last to be caught, about 3.30am. Detectives from CPIU charged two teenagers after the alleged assault. A 17-year-old Highgate Hill boy and a 16-year-old Camira boy have each been charged with one count of grievous bodily harm. The 17-year-old Highgate Hill boy was denied police bail and was to appear in the Maroochydore Childrens Court. The other boy was expected to appear at a later date.
Teens congregate in front of Noosa Surf Lifesaving Club. The 15-year-old boy from Victoria was transported to hospital in a stable condition with facial injuries and investigators are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or has relevant vison to contact police. Snr Sgt Cowan said it was lucky nothing worse happened. He said a number of juveniles were cautioned for being drunk and disorderly, public nuisance and for offensive language. Many tourists also travelled to Main Beach expecting to see fireworks at midnight but
were disappointed with what they found. “A lot of good people were waiting for fireworks. It was worse for them. They were good people having a terrible night watching drunken kids,” Snr Sgt Cowan said. “I felt disappointed for those people.” Snr Sgt Cowan said he would meet with local government authorities and organisations to discuss future action to improve the situation. “It can’t be encouraged,” he said.

Behind the Bistro C fraud From page 1 The Cashmores rented before coming to rest in the new estate of Noosa Waters where they built a comfortable family home while John bought a waterproofing business. At the start of her final year of school, Jodi was given a small car by her parents to get her to school at Cooroy, but once she started going out with a young Noosa boatbuilder, she would skip classes from time to time to drive out to his boatshed. Jodi loved having fun and she was developing a taste for expensive clothes and other creature comforts, but her friends say that there was no indication of an obsession with money nor any evidence of her bending the rules to get it. When she finished school and took a job as receptionist at the Noosa Crest Resort, the management trusted her to move into a villa and run the place during their short absences, a piece of good fortune she willingly shared with her circle of friends. The relationship with the boatbuilder blossomed and Jodi moved in with him, but as the boatbuilding business began to flourish the couple bought an expensive home in Noosa Waters. Friends from this period say that this was when Jodi’s extravagant tastes began to emerge. Others say that they worried that the couple were financially over-extended, which was possibly why one of them offered Jodi a part-time job helping keep the books at Noosa’s new “it” restaurant, Bistro C. Bistro C was the latest of a string of eating places started in Noosa by the enterprising Banks family since their arrival from Sydney in 1990. A lively Lancashire lass with an accent that seems to strengthen as the years roll by, matriarch Lorraine (known as Lori to most and Loz to close friends) had arrived in Perth in 1970 and backpacked her way around Australia and Asia, often working as a waitress to keep the wolf from the door. Moving to Sydney in the late 1970s, she worked in some of the

She also met and married Ian Banks, a young entrepreneur who had made a success of an international car leasing business, and in the ‘80s they moved to the relative tranquillity of the Northern Beaches peninsula to raise three daughters.
Then Di Heaney moved to Noosa and wrote to Lori of the many opportunities in the hospitality business. Soon the Banks family was on the move too. They talked local identity Eddie the Fisherman into allowing them to run the lunch business at Eduardo’s, a humble but charming beachfront cafe in the European style. Soon they had bought Eddie out
and taken in Heaney as the new partner, given the place a bright facelift and were cooking to packed houses. Lori’s zany front-of-house presence was matched by Di’s backroom savvy and kitchen skills, and when the Rusty Pelican restaurant closed down in the On The Beach complex a few metres along the boardwalk, the Banks team moved in, giving it a bright makeover and renaming it, well, Di-Lozo’s, offering stylish meals as opposed to Eduardo’s casual grub. Dilozo’s was a huge success, but when Heaney moved on again it was time for another reno and a rebranding, and Bistro C was born.

There have been several landmark restaurants in the history of the Hastings Street precinct, places that captured the mood of the times and created indelible memories for tourists and locals alike. Barry’s On The Beach, Cafe Le Monde, Palmer’s and Sails with its near monopoly on the wedding trade spring to mind. A quarter of a century ago when Jodi Cashmore started there, Bistro C was achieving that status, and today it still has it, a bustling, happy place with spectacular views over Main Beach and a fine madness still presided over by Lori, who owns the business, with a lot
of help from her daughters, while former husband Ian remains the owner of the property. While being busy all the time can breed volatility in the kitchen and on the floor, one of the key reasons for Bistro C’s longevity is the familial relationship between management and staff, who tend to stay long and come back. Jodi was no exception to that. Hayley, the eldest Banks daughter, was just a year younger than Jodi. She told Noosa Today: “I think I first met Jodi the year before she started working for us, so 1997. She’d become friendly with one of my best friends, Eleanor,
our bookkeeper, so she became friendly with all of us too. She was Eleanor’s assistant for about four years until El went overseas and Jodi took over. My first impressions were that she was a nice girl and over the early years of working for us we became extremely close. As Mum said in court, she was like another daughter.” By all accounts, Jodi liked her job and was good at it, although Lori was puzzled that most of the systems that the previous bookkeeper had put in place were being dismantled and replaced by a new veil of secrecy over the ac-
counts department. Meanwhile, Jodi’s relationship with the boatbuilder was breaking down. The couple split up, each taking a small profit from the sale of the heavily-mortgaged Noosa Waters house. But it wasn’t enough to explain the designer dresses, luxury holidays and expensive lunches. When Eleanor returned from her international travels she told Hayley: “Something about this just doesn’t add up.” Next week: An extravagant wedding becomes the talking point of town, as Bistro C’s finances become harder to fathom.

The state of river boats With still a week to go to have your say on Maritime Safety Queensland’s river management plans, we thought it would be timely to reveal some of the detail of Noosa Integrated Catchment Association’s 2022 vessel management survey, recently published on social media, which revealed the extent of boat dumping on the river. The NICA survey, conducted on the lower river over 25-26 July last year, outside of any events or school holidays, was designed to provide a baseline for ongoing monitoring, enhancing similar surveys conducted in 2018 and 2021. While the gross number of vessels on the river at the quietest time of the year may seem insignificant compared to now in peak holiday time, what is significant is the number of vessels that really shouldn’t be on the water. As reported in Noosa Today last month, the 2022 survey found 186 vessels moored or anchored downstream of the North Shore ferry, excluding tenders and vessels at marinas or in Noosa Waters. Almost half of these (90) were considered to be incapable of exiting the waterway via the Noosa Bar. Vessels by type were 71 yachts, 51 motorboats, 61 houseboats and three other. The survey team also noted 127 vessels anchored from a total of 281 anchor points, and 36 moored with 29 vacant moorings. Intertidal, or vessels sitting on the seabed or foreshore, numbered 23. From the total number of vessels logged, 78 were found to be in good condition, 64 in fair condition, with 38 poor and six derelict and a risk to navigation, which means that more than two-thirds of the vessels considered to be in fair condition were

The Sunshine Coast’s LifeFlight helicopter crew has airlifted a woman to hospital after she fell from a horse while riding at Cooroy. It’s believed the woman, who is aged in her 70s, was riding on a private property when her horse reared up, causing her to fall backwards. Her head then hit the ground and she briefly lost consciousness. The rescue chopper was called into action, just before 9am on Tuesday, 27 December. Due to the undulating terrain, the pilot landed down a hill, about 150m from where the woman was being treated by local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) paramedics. The QAS paramedics, RACQ LifeFlight Aircrew Officer and QAS Flight Paramedic,
still incapable of crossing the bar. Assessing the liveaboard situation, the survey team found that 13 vessels probably had people living aboard, while a further 17 possibly did. An additional evening survey conducted on 27 July found that 92 vessels had anchor lights displayed, 94 did not. And finally the survey found that 14 vessels were causing disturbance to vegetation or were a foreshore hazard. The community consultation closes on 13 January.

Ferny Forest logging axed Sunshine Coast Environment Council (SCEC) and Save Ferny Forest have welcomed the announcement that an important 130ha section of Beerwah State Forest, locally known as Ferny Forest will not be logged. The Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF)’s plan to log the forest was strenuously opposed by SCEC, Save Ferny Forest and the wider community. Ferny Forest is located on Gubbi Gubbi/ Kabi Kabi country and includes popular mountain biking and walking tracks, homes for wildlife including the koala and other threatened species. Ferny Forest has now been taken off the timber harvesting schedule, and will be transitioned into the conservation estate by the end of 2024, DAF confirmed.
Sunshine Coast Environment Council liaison and advocacy officer Narelle McCarthy said, “This is a fantastic first step toward the protection that our Sunshine Coast native forests and wildlife need.“ “This win is testament to what can be achieved with people power. The community rose up to fight the planned logging, and fight for local people and visitors to enjoy this amazing forest into the future. “We have high conservation value state forest in the South East Queensland planning region, but more than 40,000 ha of this precious habitat is still on logging schedules. “Deongwar, Yabba, Benarkin, Squirrel Creek – each of these forests are full of hollow bearing trees and invaluable for wildlife. We must protect them now.”

Among the new measures are: Increasing the maximum penalty for stealing a car from 7 to 10 years’ imprisonment A more severe penalty of 14 years if the offence is committed at night, where the offender uses violence or threatens violence, is
armed or pretends to be armed, is in company or damages or threatens to damage any property Amend the Youth Justice Act requiring courts to take into account previous bail history, criminal activity and track record when sentencing Increased penalties for criminals who have boasted about these crimes on social media Extreme High Visibility Police Patrols A $9.89 million fast-track sentencing program in Brisbane, Townsville, Southport and Cairns so children spend less time on remand and more time serving their sentences The construction of two new youth detention centres The appointment within QPS of Assis-
tant Commissioner to the position of Youth Crime Taskforce Commander The increased penalties apply to adult as well as juvenile offenders. Young offenders will be in custody for longer to make sure they can complete requisite rehabilitation and reform programs set out by the courts. Legislative changes will be introduced in the new year. “All of the programs to divert children away from crime will continue but the community is demanding tougher penalties too.” Children and Youth Justice Minister Leanne Linard said more than two dozen programs to divert children away from crime will continue.
High visibility police patrols are among new measures to be introduced.

All options to be explored The State Government will bring together transport experts, stakeholders, and industry leaders this month for a road safety roundtable, after a tragic year on Queensland roads. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said he’s keen to explore all options to improve road safety. “The roundtable will include the likes of the Queensland Police Service, RACQ, Safer Australian Roads and Highways Group, Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety Queensland, and the Department of Transport and Main Roads.” Mr Bailey said the fatal five; speeding, drink/drug driving, not wearing a seatbelt, distraction and fatigue were still contributing to the majority of fatalities on Queensland roads. “Sadly, we lost 299 lives on Queensland roads in 2022, which is the worst since 2012, but well below the 331 lives we lost in 2009, and the 638 lives lost in 1973. “The majority of drivers are doing the right thing, using our roads in a safe way. “But I get reports through every time a fatal crash occurs on our roads, and in far too many instances’ drivers making dangerous choices on our roads are contributing factors to fatalities.” Mr Bailey said the roundtable will also be exploring other trends which have contributed to the number of lives lost including motorcycle registrations and extreme weather. “In 2019 we had 45 motorcycle deaths, compared to 74 in 2022,” he said. “Another big factor in the first six months of

The driver, a 20-year-old Little Mountain woman and her passenger, an 80-year-old Glass House Mountains woman, both died at the scene. The Forensic Crash Unit investigation is continuing.

Hastings Street very slow going.
No stop to traffic woes By Margie Maccoll Perfect summer weather last weekend had families jumping in their cars to head to the beach causing traffic gridlock which Noosa Council says could be alleviated by people leaving their cars at home and switching to alternate forms of transport. Traffic queues to Hastings Street and Noosa North Shore over the New Year long weekend were the worst ever seen, according to social media posts, with residents suggesting a myriad of solutions from shutting Hastings Street to all cars apart from Noosa Shire residents to increased river commutes and the construction of more bridges. On Monday all roads into Main Beach were at a crawl with traffic banked back over Noosa hill and along the entire length of Sunshine Beach Road through the Noosa Junction shopping strip, along Noosa Parade past Munna Point and along Noosa Drive past the Weyba Drive roundabout. Traffic to Noosa North Shore also had residents heading to social media with the queue to the car ferry stretching past the length of Moorindil Street, through Tewantin CBD and across the bridge on Memorial Avenue to Hilton Terrace. Noosa Council Infrastructure Services Director Larry Sengstock said council continues to proactively offer alternative travel options, but the sheer volume of vehicles accessing popular areas at peak periods creates congestion issues. “Our data suggests about 14,000 vehicles access the Hastings Street precinct during peak periods, so no amount of car parking will alleviate such numbers,” he said. “Council conducts annual traffic, pedestrian and bike counts on allocated days each year to help determine yearly counts, obtain accurate vehicle data and identify possible solutions. “Current data indicates that parking in Hastings Street precinct is usually at capacity from 7am onwards. “Free Go Noosa buses are provided seven days a week during the holidays plus a park n ride option at the Noosa AFL grounds on Weyba Road and parking at the J Noosa, “If more people took up these options, it would significantly ease congestion. “Council has also completed an extensive upgrade to Noosa Parade, providing wider pathways and dedicated bike lanes to make it

When it comes to Noosa North Shore traffic tidal times limit beach access which causes a back up of traffic accessing the ferry, Mr Sengstock said. “The current operator has limited capacity and operates as efficiently as possible, given the popularity of Noosa North Shore,” he said. A new ferry operator will commence in mid-2024, doubling the hourly capacity, offering digital ticketing and providing a modern barge fleet.

Reef Check checking reefs After being added last month to Noosa Council’s Specialised Supplier List, Reef Check Australia (RCA) proposes to undertake regular monitoring on five coral reef sites at three off Noosa’s shore at Jew Shoal, The Caves and Little Halls Reef. In a report to council officers said the reefs provide significant recreational benefits, are well-utilised for fishing, and for some dive tourism, but are also subject to the compounding pressures of increased visitation and climate change. “The health of the corals in Noosa provides an indication of the water quality in the region and the overall health of the catchment. Nearshore coral reefs are also important for coastal protection and species conservation. As such, long-term monitoring of these habitats is critical,” the report states. Reef Check Australia’s primary objective is to protect Australian reefs and oceans by engaging the community in hands on research and education. It is specialised in undertaking reef health surveys while engaging citizen scientists and since 2007 has monitored more than 20 reef locations across the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay/Quandamooka and the Gold Coast. Using a globally standardised protocol to survey the nearshore reef habitats of Noosa, RCA proposes to provide an early warning system for changes in reef health in our region and increase available data for science and management applications. Reef health surveys including data, underwater photographs and video will be obtained by trained volunteers and results provided following the surveys. Algae samples will be collected as a part of this ongoing project to better understand changes in the benthos of Noosa reefs over time and will be provided to Noosa Council for preparation and identification. This will help inform Noosa Council’s broader algae moni-

Findings will be provided as a part of RCA’s SEQ Regional Report, and delivery of a report of findings specific to Noosa monitoring locations and reef images will be uploaded to the Australian Institute of Marine Science’s ReefCloud digital tool, encouraging Noosa reefs to be ‘on the map’. Council officers said the Environment Strategy Implementation Plan specifies the
need for reef biodiversity surveys every five years, with the last occurring in 2011. The council staff report states the RCA survey will also support the implementation of the Coastal Hazards Adaption Plan and Council’s long-term Coastal Monitoring Program and is fundamental to our understanding of water quality and coral health in the Noosa region. “Nearshore coral reefs can also protect coastlines from the risk of coastal flooding and erosion, providing similar protection to artificial submerged coastal engineering structures. They also provide a natural source of sand
nourishment, which aids in beach accretion, over long timescales. The program presents a unique opportunity to better understand the condition of our nearshore reefs,” the report states. In addition the benefit of using RCA to conduct the survey means volunteer citizen scientists are automatically engaged in the process and able to promote the results with the communities they live in. Council officers said they would work with RCA to ensure the results are shared widely with the community and relevant stakeholders.

Katie Rose chair retires By Jim Fagan A casual remark seven years ago has blossomed into a story to touch your heart and the hearts of many others in Noosa and the Sunshine Coast. Since Katie Rose Cottage Hospice in the Noosa hinterland opened in 2016 more than 300 people have chosen to spend their final days peacefully, surrounded by the love of their families in a serene, home away from home environment. And the support by the community for the “haven on the hill” has never been warmer and more apparent. Carol Raye, of Doonan, has been board chairperson during those years. She retired at the end of last year and this week she met Noosa Today to talk about her time in the chair plus the exciting plans the hospice has for future expansion. Carol was a volunteer fundraiser at a hospice in Adelaide before she and her pilot husband John decided to retire to Noosa. Previously, she had been working in fundraising and marketing for not-for-profits like the St John Ambulance. “Years ago my mother had passed away in a very clinical setting and for that reason I wanted to get involved with a hospice. “I noticed there was one in Doonan at Eumundi Noosa Road so I went there and for more than two years I worked as a volunteer. “It closed through lack of funds and other reasons and, when it ended, the volunteers used to meet at the Doonan Cafe, especially the gardening group. “It started with two or three and ended up with 15 or 20 people. “After a couple of months we were all still lamenting and somebody asked what we were going to do and I said, “Why don’t we start another one?’ “This was in 2015 and the idea just fell out of my mouth. Everyone said, ‘We can do it. We know what we’re doing,’ and John Gabrielson, who is now our CEO and who had been the volunteers’ manager-co-ordinator at the previous one, said he would help with a strategic plan. “We used to meet every week at Acres Coffee Shop in Noosaville and spread out all our papers on the table. It was our office for the first couple of months as we formed the company and got a charity licence. John was the volunteer CEO for the first six months and I’m very grateful. “We also had a public meeting which we advertised and we outlined our plans to the 200 people there. We asked if they would support us. The J was full and Ralph Rogers, the owner of Acres said, ‘I’ll give you funds to get started.’” Carol believes people who are terminally ill should be able to choose to go to a place, a nice environment which isn’t clinical. “Hospitals are wonderful and they save people’s lives. A hospice, however, is a beautiful place for them to choose to spend their last days.” She dismisses the thought that hospices are depressing. “I think you need to have empathy and compassion to understand the meaning of life and the meaning of death. After a while you feel it is a privilege to be around the families and the guests during their last journey. “To think that here in Noosa we have this magnificent facility we should be so proud of because it is a home away from home, a beautiful environment where the nursing is so professional. Some of the nurses have said to me many times it is wonderful to be a nurse here because we can truly take time to nurse. “I would really like to say, apart from our beautiful nurses and our fabulous volunteers, we have been successful because of Noosa philanthropists Peter and Mac Williams and their fantastic donation of the million dollars which enabled us to buy the house and land. That gave us the security and a home base that we needed. “The house is magnificent and it embodies the perfect home environment. It is a free service to families and guests and they find it incredible that they can come to us without being charged.” Carol said this coming year would be one of expansion for Katie Rose. It now has the Federal grant of $1.5 million which means it 16 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 January, 2023

will now have five guest rooms with a sixth room as a multi purpose space until needed for guests. “The grant was specific for the purpose of adding more rooms. We worked on it with Lew O’Brien’s (Federal Member for Wide Bay) office for three years.” The hospice is also working with Queensland Health on an Outreach Palliative Care Service in the Noosa area. “Because of Covid and other issues, it is not off the ground yet but it will be in the next few months.” There is never a perfect time to leave so why is she leaving? “It is just timing. It’s been seven years getting it set up, six years as chairman and working almost full time as a volunteer. It’s been a good six years. We are a very new charity and there has been a lot to do to keep it going. “There have been some hard times, some fun times and there were sad times. It is now time to bring in someone else.
“It is important for a board not to get stale I think I’ve given it as much as I can. I have loved every minute of it and it will always be part of me.” Carol will still have a connection with the hospice. She is staying on as chairman of a small fundraising committee. One of the new projects in 2023 will be a raffle of an 18-carat white gold bracelet packed with diamonds and other precious stones like pink tourmaline, rose quartz and amethyst. The bracelet, valued at more than $30,000, is being donated Noosa Civic jeweller Eliahi Priest, 41, of Priest Jewellers. He and his family were greatly moved by the level of compassion and care his wife, Kristy-Elle was given at Katie Rose when she died from cervical cancer last May. Carol said: “All of us at Katie Rose are especially touched that Kristy-Elle’s family felt our care and support worthy of such a magnificent prize for our next lottery.”
“I would like to say I haven’t done this alone. The driver of an organisation always needs someone to lead, a desire to make it work. I could not have achieved what we have if we didn’t have the volunteers and the op shops which make a huge donation. They are a huge part of our income. “Our CEO John Gabrielson has said many times, “Every day about 50 people get out of bed and come to volunteer for Katie Rose. And they all love it, too. It is really a community driven charity and it is very special. “We have some great sponsors and it would lovely to recognise all of them. We are grateful for the community support in services as well as people.” She said retired accountant and current board treasurer, Les Godwin, will assume the role as chairman for an interim period and the board will work through the replacement process. “He has been on the board since the beginning and helped us get the charity set up.

Model flyers left in limbo By Margie Maccoll After 23 years running their organisation by the book and meticulously maintaining their premises, mostly with their own money, the men of Noosa Model Flyers feel they have been left in limbo by a Noosa Council decision to relinquish trusteeship of the Teewah Landing Ground to the State Government. The Department of Resources wrote to Council on 11 July 2022 advising the Department of Environment and Science (DES) was seeking to acquire the Noosa North Shore Aircraft Landing Ground Reserve for inclusion in the surrounding Great Sandy National Park and sought confirmation council would relinquish it. Five months later at its ordinary meeting before Christmas councillors voted in favour of transferring trusteeship of the land to DES and requested the department consult with the community and resident clubs regarding future use of the reserve and its suitability for flying activities and emergency operations. A report prepared by council officers determined “the trusteeship transferring to DES would serve a greater public interest and deliver broader community benefits. The transfer will also likely assist the anticipated reinvigoration of the campaign to re-nominate the Cooloola section of the Great Sandy National Park for World Heritage Listing”. The report states the 428ha lot located 3km south of Teewah has been gazetted as a landing reserve since 1948 with three runways established in the 1970s. The reserve has two resident clubs, the Sunshine Coast Sports Aviators and the Noosa Model Flyers and is regularly used as a helicopter training ground by McDermott Aviation. Leases for both clubs expired in November 2021 but both were in negotiations to renew their licenses. Council notified the resident user groups of the proposal to transfer trusteeship of the reserve to the state government in November 2022, giving them only 11 days to respond. Noosa Model Flyers president Wayne Cambie said the Teewah Landing Ground was the ideal place for the club which has benefits to members it likens to Men’s Sheds with the addition of its involvement in national and international competitions and benefits to the community as a model flying site. Wayne said members were heartbroken at the idea they may have to leave their base with nowhere else for them to go and upset at mention in the council report the well-maintained grounds had been used as a dump site. Wayne said he could only guess the dump material referred to a couple of white-painted tyres, which are used as runway markers, which were damaged in a recent practise burn off and two concrete-filled 44-gallon drums which are used for practising helicopter heavy lifts by McDermott Aviation which says it is the only area in the shire where it can practise the procedures needed when extinguishing bushfires. “We’ve always looked after the place. “We would prefer Noosa Council retain trusteeship. We have direct contact with them

and staff are really helpful. If there’s any problem we can get on to it straightaway,“ Wayne said. Wayne said he had purchased a grader, operating it himself to maintain the track into the landing ground and members had recently upgraded a toilet and shower block onsite at a cost to themselves of about $4000. Wayne has completed safety training with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) which has accredited the landing ground, endorsing the club with a 1500ft flying ceiling height, the envy of other clubs, due to its lack of conflicting uses such as buildings or residential areas. Sunshine Coast Sports Aviators president Steve Beale told council the landing ground was ideal for their operations and there would be difficulty relocating their sport which requires a significant amount of land for safe operation, noise that could impact other parties and safety, free of infrastructure encroachments, needed for the sport. State and local governments have long approved the continued operation of the landing reserve. In 1992 a State Cabinet Decision approved
will not be expanded and the airstrip will ultimately be closed“. In the 2019 bush fires the landing ground provided an essential base on the north shore for aircraft fighting the fires and the evacuation of people as well as providing a fire break that protected the township of Teewah. Wayne said 13 fire trucks were stationed onsite during the fires and aircraft used the site not only for landings but used their water resources to extinguish fires. “Without the runways the fire would have ripped straight through to Teewah,“ Wayne said. McDermott Aviation chief executive officer John McDermott agreed the landing ground was “an essential staging post“ which, given the huge public usage of north shore, would provide a “safe emergency assembly and evacuation area in the event of another bushfire emergency“. “Teewah forms a small, but essential component of the preparation of aircraft and crews associated with our emergency services work,“ he said. “We see the need for it becoming more important with the increasing park usage and increasing use of helicopters for high risk emergency services operations.“
the declaration of the Noosa North Shore Landing Ground as National Park on the proviso the areas required for emergency landings or ultra light purposes were retained. The Great Sandy Region Management Plan 1994 – 2010 stated the landing reserve would be added to the Cooloola Section of Great Sandy National Park with the continued use of the area by ultralight aircraft permitted. In 2003 the Noosa North Shore Management Plan included an action to transfer the landing ground to National Park “on the proviso that areas contained for emergency landings, ultralight purposes, helicopter training and model aircraft use be retained as a reserve for landing ground purposes or that the whole area be transferred to National Park provided documented evidence is given that the use of the landing ground be allowed to continue“. In 2019 Council adopted the Regional Facilities Plan for Difficult to Locate Sports recommending “that access to the North Shore Landing Ground be retained (Ultra-Light use); pending outcomes from the review/ update of the Great Sandy Region Management Plan“. But a year later the Noosa Plan 2020 stated “use of the Noosa North Shore Airstrip

State population growing By Alison Taylor You might have thought that things were getting busier, as Australia emerges from the Covid-19 induced fog of the past few years - and you would be right. New figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics give some insight into where all that busy-ness is coming from. A large part is due to the recovery in the number of people arriving from overseas. In the year ending June 2022, nearly 171,000 more people arrived in Australia from overseas than the much smaller number who left. This addition to our population is considerably higher than in 2021 when, in the grip of the pandemic, 85,000 more people left Australia than the very small number that arrived here. Of course, the number of arrivals to Australia has a long way to go to reach the highs of the 2000s or even the pre-pandemic years of 2019 and 2020 when overseas migrants added between 200,000-250,000 people to Australia’s population respectively. This, in part, explains why there are few workers for food and hospitality jobs, jobs that have traditionally been filled by backpackers or overseas students. Although, these numbers suggest a return is underway. But what exactly is happening in Queensland? In 2020, in the early days of Covid-19, Queensland grew by just over 80,000 people but by 2021, growth slumped to less than 43,000 largely due to the nearly 13,000 people who left Queensland to return overseas as their visas ran out or they returned home. However, in 2022, Queensland’s population was again supplemented from overseas migration with almost 23,500 more people arriving from overseas than those who left. This helped Queensland record the third highest annual growth of the past 40 years of
Queensland’s population topped 5.3 million at the end of June this year. over 104,000 people over the 12 months ending June 2022. This population growth was well ahead of Victoria (nearly 66,000) and NSW (nearly 60,000) with Queensland also getting the gong for the fastest growing state or territory in Australia. As a result, Queensland’s population topped 5.3 million at the end of June this year. While this is still behind the two big states of NSW (8.2 million) and Victoria (6.6 million), Queensland’s population was about the same as the remaining states of South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania combined (5.2 million). The two territories together were home to only 700,000 people. So, are there really people flooding to Queensland from NSW and Victoria? The short answer is yes. Over the past few years, Queensland has been the destination of choice for many escaping lockdowns and high numbers of Covid cases in the southern states.
Alison Taylor.
In 2022, Queensland recorded a net gain of more than 55,000 people from other states and territories. This is the highest number for the past 40 years. But, when you’re looking at these numbers, it’s important to remember that some people move to Queensland, and others move away. So, there’s a lot of churning of people moving here, there and everywhere else. Lots of people follow work, some move to be able to buy an affordable home, others move to start university or to retire. There are many different reasons that people move. However, it’s undeniable that Queensland is currently the hot destination for people deciding to move within Australia. In 2019 before the pandemic, 108,000 people moved to Queensland. In 2020, there were slightly fewer arrivals, but by 2021, there were almost 110,000 people who decided to move to Queensland from other parts of Australia. Queensland was perceived as an attractive
place to live out the Covid years. This is also supported by the smaller number of people who left Queensland for interstate locations in 2020 and 2021. But in 2022, something shifted. Queensland recorded a record number of interstate arrivals with over 142,000 people moving here. While the number of people leaving Queensland (perhaps some of those earlier arrivals) also increased, the total result of all this movement was the biggest net contribution from interstate migration to Queensland’s population in 40 years (over 55,000 people). If, as is expected, overseas arrivals to Australia continue to increase closer to pre-pandemic levels, Queensland’s population will swell even further. And those places that are popular and sought after destinations – like Noosa, will feel the pressure of the demand from that growth. How will we respond?

The Guide CAMILLA’S COUNTRY LIFE ABC TV, Friday, 7.30pm
PICK OF THE WEEK Fresh start: The hosts of The Project, from left: Sam Taunton, Sarah Harris, Michael Hing, Waleed Aly, Hamish Macdonald and Georgie Tunny.
Filmed before Camilla (pictured) became the Queen Consort, this polite exposé of King Charles’ wife hints at her playful side. Filmed to mark Camilla’s 75th birthday, it also commemorates Country Life’s 125th edition. We follow along as Camilla guest-edits the glossy, goes about her royal duties, reveals her charity work, visits her grandparents’ stately mansion and, of course, chatters about her love of gardening (“the countryside is not all buttercups and daisies”). CALL THE MIDWIFE ABC TV, Saturday, 7.30pm
Lovable characters and heartwarming, poignant stories are the bread and butter of this long-running, femaleled British stalwart. The secret to the show’s success may be that the storylines broaching social issues are wrapped up in a cosy nostalgia. Season 11 premieres this week with an Easter-time setting in the year 1967. Festivities are afoot for the Easter bonnet parade, while Cyril (Zephryn Taitte) and Lucille (Leonie Elliott, pictured) settle into married life. HOME AND AWAY Seven, Monday, 7pm
THE SUNDAY PROJECT 10, Sunday, 6.30pm
Comedians Sam Taunton and Michael Hing will no doubt help deliver on The Project’s promise of “news delivered differently” when they join the popular panel show’s line-up for 2023. The quick-witted comics will sit alongside Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris, Hamish Macdonald and Georgie Tunny to unpack the day’s issues. A regular on the comedy festival circuit, Taunton is looking forward to making his mark on the show. “It’s a fresh cast and we’re all looking forward to creating something new and energetic that I think people will really respond to,” he said. “I’m also excited to steal Waleed’s opinions and use them as my own at dinner parties.”
It wouldn’t be a soap opera worthy of our attention if a pair of beloved characters got hitched without a hitch or two delaying their walk down the aisle. When we last saw bride-to-be Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) and her bridesmaid Eden (Stephanie Panozzo) they were speeding towards danger in a ute with tampered brakes. When news of their subsequent crash reaches the rest of the wedding party, shocked groom Tane (Ethan Browne, pictured) leaps into action.

Riding tall in the saddle By Erle Levey The past year for endurance riding has been much like the sport itself … be ready for the unexpected, be able to address the challenges, and enjoy the good times when they come along. The times, when horse and rider are in perfect balance with each other and the environment for an experience like no other. It has been year impacted by flooding and unseasonal wet weather as well as further outbreaks of Covid-19. Queensland Endurance Riding Association had to contend with 11 events being cancelled, one cancelled part way through and others rescheduled. Despite all the difficulties caused by weather this year, ride organising committees provided 27 QERA events that supported a total of 1932 entries. Queensland riders competed successfully at the 2022 Tom Quilty Gold Cup at Tooraweenah in western New South Wales. Gympie and Wide Bay riders won three of the four Queensland state championship titles at Herberton on the Atherton Tablelands. Added to this, four riders achieved the Triple Crown - the same rider-horse combinations completing the two major titles and a QERA marathon in the same year. Riders are now excited about what 2023 holds including the re-creation of the historic Winton to Longreach ride, Queensland hosting the Tom Quilty 2023, and the state championships later in the year. The Tom Quilty Gold Cup is Australia’s national endurance championship event. The 160km ride is held throughout different states each year. In 2023 it was due to be held in Victoria but just seven months out, the host club decided they could no longer hold the event. Stirling’s Crossing Endurance Club has now been invited to hold it on June 23-25, after successfully hosting the event in 2019. This is a massive task. Most clubs have 18 months to organise a national event of this standing yet Stirlings Crossing has 213 days. The club is committed to supporting the local area and anticipates 250-300 competitors, each of them bringing a support crew. Over the coming months the club will be calling for support including volunteers for all sorts of activities. After all, who wouldn’t like to be there at midnight waiting for 300 horses to come racing past them. Reflecting on the year, Stirlings Crossing club president Kim Moir said that when the heavens opened in March, many rides in South East Queensland including the Stirling Starter, were a washout with the forestry tracks severely damaged or simply too dangerous for horses and riders. “As tracks and ride bases were repaired, more than 300 competitors attended the club’s traditional Easter Carnival and similar numbers at the Stirling’s May event. “The season ended on a high note when the 2023 Tom Quilty was awarded to the Stirling’s Crossing Club after the Victorian Endurance Riders Association announced it was unable to host the event. 26 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 January, 2023

“After a few years of disruptions with Covid, and then the bad weather this season, we’re really looking forward to a successful 2023. “There’s a lot of excitement building as we head towards such a showcase event in our sport like the Tom Quilty Gold Cup.” ALL THE RIGHT MOVES The past year saw the second education weekend at Stirling’s Crossing Endurance Centre attract about 60 enthusiasts from all ages and all backgrounds, all skills and proficiencies from five-year-olds to those of seven decades and more. They were record numbers attending the weekend in January - from experienced young riders to 60-year-old first-timers. There were strappers, handlers, veterinarians, horse owners, breeders and trainers. During the course of the weekend participants are assisted in many aspects of endurance - from care and preparation of horses to different facets of how to get the best out of events. Truly inspiring this year was Geoff Monk
from Bribie Island, who is blind. Yet that was not going to stop him from embracing this exhilarating sport. Experienced endurance rider Virginia Barber had been assisting Geoff for the four months up to his first endurance riding experience. “I’m an absolute newbie,’’ he said. “Virginia was quite keen to take on a blind rider ... it was a risk but the risk was all mine. “For a blind person it’s spectacular.?’’ The Education Weekend will be held on January 28-29 at Stirlings Crossing, it will offer a 10km and 20km introductory ride and possible a 40km as well. PRETTY IN PINK There are a few equalisers in this life ... and cancer is one of them. Nearly everyone is touched by this disease which comes in many forms. The 2022 Pink Ride for Breast Cancer at Bony Mountain mid February provided people with the chance to learn more about equestrian endurance riding and take part in a
number of events. It also provided the chance to dress up in pink and have fun - but the overriding thing was the support of breast cancer awareness. More than 150 riders took part over the two days at the Bony Mountain recreation reserve and polo club, near Warwick. They took part in everything and anything from 6km rides to 20km and 40km. There were so many stories about people being personally touched by cancer and those who have survived, wanting to take part in remembrance of those who lost the battle. Of all the uplifting souls encountered at the Bony Mountain Pink Endurance Ride, every one had a personal story. A mum, friend, auntie, sister, grandma ... all touched by breast, or another form of cancer, at some stage. But these riders also shared a common desire to cherish the fun side of life, to celebrate lives, and loves, lost, or show support for those travelling a tough path through their cancer journey now.

Riding tall in the saddle From page 26 They also want to show gratitude for the doctors and scientists who are fighting to find a cure for this disease. The efforts to ’have fun’ ranged from the outrageous and creative - pink tutus and hand-painted horses - to the subtle and reflective, such as a pink shirt or socks and commitment to the ride. They were seeking to either support, or be supported, by being present and actively participating in a beautiful and meaningful event. The Pink Ride enabled riders of all ages and levels of experience to be there for each other. The brainchild of Warwick Trail and Endurance Riders Club secretary Jenny Noffke, it is named in honour of Anne Jones ... a great endurance rider and secretary of Queensland Endurance Riders Association (QERA) for 17 years as well as being involved with the Australian Endurance Riders Association. EASTER RIDE GOES AHEAD The annual Easter at Stirlings Crossing endurance horse ride was a welcome return to the sport, after the devastating floods that impacted much of southern Queensland and coastal New South Wales, right down to eastern Victoria. Restrictions had been placed on most states due to the flare-up of the Covid-19 pandemic since late last year. Just getting to the starting line was an achievement in its own for the organisers of the event and the band of willing volunteers. The four-day event based at Stirlings Crossing Equestrian Centre saw more than 300 riders attend for the series of 12 rides through the forest and around the picturesque Mary Valley town. The floods had left their mark on roads, creek crossings and infrastructure. That’s what these endurance challenges are all about - it’s what makes them so endearing. The relationship between horse and rider. The trust, confidence-building, care and consideration for each other. Kelsey Irvine was first across the line and overall winner of the 240km marathon, riding Karma. Kelsey has been a consistent performer at Stirlings Crossing, having taken out the 100km event last year on Karma as well as winning the 2019 State Championship in the 160.0km ride at Bowen. Karma, which took out best managed horse for this year’s marathon, was the last mare bred by Kelsey’s late grandfather Alwyn Torenbeek. Alwyn grew up in the Rockhampton area and became a bush legend as drover, horse whisperer, endurance rider, bronc rider and author. BEAUTY OF THE BUSH Waking in the Australian outback before the birds rise is a serene experience. As winter approaches, fog lies low in the valleys, shrouding the already mystical surrounding hills with a special kind of magic. As dawn’s first light stretches through the valleys, the fog lifts to reveal a way forward for the horses. These moments in endurance riding are often what brings the riders back time and time again. That was the setting for the 2022 Stirling’s 28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 January, 2023

Georgie Barber and Ellie-Rose Bowden start out together in the 160km event ... and finished in exactly the same position as equal first juniors at the state championships. 297363 Classic equestrian endurance ride at Imbil. The weekend was a matter of persistence and commitment as organisers and riders looked to the skies. It was on, then postponed due to a persistent rain and flooding. Then it was rescheduled but only if the weather improved and if enough veterinary specialists were able to attend. The vets are needed to check the health and fitnesses of horses during the events. By the Tuesday evening it was decided to go ahead. Stirlings Crossing Endurance Club president Kim Moir said the tracks were drying as the week progressed. “The main thing was getting the vets,’’ she said. “To get them at the last minute was difficult. “They had committed to the initial ride earlier in May but then when we had to postpone it they may have been on roster or had made other plans.’’ The numbers were good for the 120km Stirlings Classic, with 63 participants in the 120km event and a 76 percent completion. The 40km event on the Saturday saw 18 riders and 100 percent completion. Virginia Barber and Mark Nimon were equal first in the Stirlings Classic, and as middleweight and heavyweight riders. Line honours went to Kaylea Maher as first rider in, but also winner of the lightweight division on Shardell Jaegers. Emma Ireland was best junior, riding Stirling’s Django, while Neeve Whittaker was second on Drumlin History, and Modena Schofield, third, on Amarin Brindi. Best conditioned horse in the heavyweight division was La Belle Amour, ridden by Mark
Nimon. Winner of the best conditioned middleweight, but also the the Banjo Memorial Trophy for the best of the best conditioned horse was Burralga Athena, ridden by Virginia Barber. WONDERFUL WIDGEE It was one of the final chances for endurance riders to compete before the Tom Quilty 2022 was held at Tooraweenah in New South Wales later in July. And Wunderful Widgee lived up to its name in many ways. It was the second ride after a break of six years at the endurance club and the event was held in near-perfect conditions. Kim Moir of Widgee Endurance and Trail Riders Club said the number of participants was good, considering it was so close to the Quilty. As well as 40km and 80km events, there was a 20km ride as an educator - a chance to experience endurance riding. The event highlighted that having a great volunteer base makes it so much easier for officials. While the course through Widgee and Brooyar State Forests was challenging at times, due of the climbs through the ranges, the track was firm underfoot. This saw good completion rates in all events - the 80km saw 42 entrants with a 92.6 percent completion.First in the heavyweight division was Arron Turnbull of Wyreema, riding Danic Park Mackenzie (best conditioned), from Ed Jones on Zara te and Angela Waldock riding Concord. Sarah Carroll was first in the middleweight division, riding My Name is Earl, with Fiona Fenech second on Sweet Honesty Molleeh
(best conditioned), and Jo Barsby on Dumaresq Warrior in third place.? Line honours went to Karen Winkel on Shardell Azeem, who won the lightweight division. In the juniors, Gympie rider Tahlea Lochtenberg was first, on Matta Mia Kassanova, from Glenvale rider Mary Duncan on Flemingo Klaus (best conditioned), and Indra Hofstee riding Royal Rose Malibu. TQ 2022 HELD DESPITE WEATHER For the past two years endurance riders have battled the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. This year it was a series of rain events that led to trail damage and flooding throughout Australia’s eastern states. So it was with enthusiasm and apprehension that riders set off for the 2022 Tom Quilty Gold Cup at Tooraweenah in western New South Wales. Queensland Endurance Riders Association (QERA) members were well represented in what is regarded as Australia’s most prestigious endurance event, with about 30 percent of the 186 participants coming from Sunshine State. Winter rains threatened to postpone the ride but the decision was made to go ahead. It saw a completion rate of 69 percent for the 160km ride. This was the highest in a long time and, while the course was challenging, indicated the care the riders took with their horses. Times were much slower than usual but at the completion riders were happy with their achievement. Roy Barsby, from Wyreema on the Darling Downs, took out the heavyweight division riding Dumaresq Suleiman. Renee Kelso from Bonnybrooke Stud at Curra was third in the middleweight division, riding SB Defino. In the Standard Restricted Teams event the High Spirits group of four riders was placed second. The High Spirits riders consisted of Renee Kelso (Medium Weight) riding SB Defino, who was placed third in her division; Mary Duncan (junior) riding the young gelding Bonnybrooke Samarai, and placing sixth junior overall; Victoria Bice (lightweight), riding OSO Meeka (mare), was placed seventh in the lightweight division; and Peter Holmes (middleweight) who, riding Spot (stallion), retired at the 144km mark when hit with illness.

Riders and horses navigate the creek crossing at Inglewood. 307873 Imbil father-and-daughter team Olly and Tahlia Lochtenberg had a wonderful ride in the 81km event, finishing in the winner’s circle in both their divisions - heavyweight and junior. “They had not held a ride for three years,’’ Olly said, “and they finally managed to get a ride on the calendar even though the grounds had been under water twice this year from the flooding rains.’’ Heavyweight: 1. Olly Lochtenberg, Matta Mia Dayimi. Middleweight: 1. Matthew Sample, Stirling’s Thor. Lightweight: 1. Karen Winkel, Shardell Azeem. Junior: 1. Tahlea Lochtenberg, Matta Mia Kassanova. 1. Neeve Whittaker, Dumaresq Warrior. FLAT, FAST COURSE AT CHARLEVILLE Riders experienced a different set of conditions at Charleville early this month with a flat and fast course that tested riders and horses. Whereas horses in coastal regions are trained for hilly conditions, in the red dirt of Western Queensland required them to use a different set of muscles.
· · · ·
There were 20 starters and a 75 per cent completion in the 80km event. However, it was an unexpected encounter on the course between horse and wallaby that saw Joey Long riding Maverick being vetted out on the second leg. The wallaby literally ran into the horse and although he completed the second leg Maverick had developed an ache after cooling down.So while Joey was taken out by a joey, winner of the middleweight division Laura Axsentieff of Longreach was riding a horse named Joey. Wondai’s Mark Nimon took out the heavyweight division while Kilkivan’s Shelley Chapman was first in the lightweights. Eadie McWilliam from Toft Endurance won the juniors. SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME The final Queensland Endurance Riders Association (QERA) event for 2022 at Inglewood in November provided the chance to look forward to an exciting new year. The Bremervale Justice Challenge 6 at Inglewood Showgrounds was hosted by Oz Endurance. It saw a good attendance and fine
weather with rides starting in the afternoon and continuing into Saturday night.What the weekend provided was the opportunity for riders to participate in Federation Équestre Internationale (FEI) events in order to qualify to compete internationally. The event also provided the opportunity for officials, riders and strappers to experience a travelling checkpoint, a new experience to many and one that will need to be completely understood for the Winton to Longreach event in July 2023. The iconic ride is being revived for one year only on 29-30 July to celebrate 100 years of the Queensland Country Women’s Association.The first ride in 1980 featured some great endurance names such as R.M. Williams, Jack Makim, Jeff Marshall and artist Hugh Sawrey, along with eventual winner Carmen Batterham. The rides through the 1980s were to engender support for the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame and Outback Heritage Centre at Longreach. Riders covered 200km on the first day and a further 50km on the second. No whips or spurs are used and any inhumane handling or abuse of horses results in immediate disqualification. Everything is done to protect the horses. Veterinary check points are established every 40 kilometres along the track, as are compulsory rest periods for horse and rider. While the 2023 ride will honour those early events, the main reason for its re-emergence is to celebrate 100 years of the Country Women’s Association (CWA). Under that format riders are travelling point-to-point instead of the more popular format of riding in out-and-back loops or legs and returning to a base camp at the end of each for the compulsory veterinarian checks on the health and condition of the horses. The Winton to Longreach ride is 250 km over two days with course stewards, vets and support crews for competitors setting up new camps along the way. The Inglewood event was to give riders and administrators an indication of what is done and the requirements of a travelling checkpoint.

RIDING HIGH AT STATE TITLES Wondai rider, trainer and endurance horse breeder Virginia Barber took out the Queensland Endurance Riding Association State Championship in August. Not only does Virginia encourage other riders to participate in the sport, she is now a state champion Held at Tepon Equestrian Park, Herberton, on the Atherton Tablelands, the championships saw strong representation and results from southern Queensland riders. For Virginia, riding La Belle Amour, they won the 160km middleweight division, best conditioned horse, and state title. It was a double, double success as her daughter Georgie, and fellow Mainstreme rider Ellie-Rose Bowden were equal first in the junior division. Kilkivan’s Shelley Chapman of ShanelliPark Endurance, won the lightweight division, riding Box Hill Nitro, and also won best conditioned horse. The championships also saw four riders achieve the sought-after Triple Crown - Ellie-Rose Bowden riding Silver Centurion, Georgie Barber riding Concerto, Tracey Eastaughffe riding Moondarra Elton and Alana Simpson riding Meea. In order to earn the Triple Crown, one rider, one horse combination must complete a QERA affiliated marathon event, the Tom Quilty Gold Cup and the QERA State Championships all in the one year. What made it more remarkable was EllieRose and Georgie were placed in each event. HORSES FOR COURSES It was a matter of horses for courses as endurance riders were faced with different conditions at Charleville and Murrumba Downs events. After three years and two last-minute cancellations, the Murrumba Downs endurance ride finally got under way. And organisers have already started to plan next year’s ride for the same time - the second weekend of August. As opposed to the flat and fast Charleville ride earlier in the month, Murrumba was held in near-perfect conditions.

Traffic woes worse When is Noosa Council going to show some common sense? The Noosa Parade upgrade has not made an ounce of difference. If the council provides paid parking at the Lions Park then people are encouraged to drive there. Free buses are stuck in a traffic jam. The money gained from parking will have to be spent on park restoration. Signage should say ‘No parking in Hastings St precinct’. Visitors must be advised that park and ride is only available from the Junction, AFL ground or Tewantin Marina. Rate paying locals should be given stickers to enable them car access to Hastings St. Stop the paid parking and get the tourist traffic away from the precinct. Judy Davies, Noosaville

Traffic gridlock I recently purchased tickets for the Endeavour Lottery in Tewantin. If we win it I am considering turning it into a Half Way House for travellers this time of year. Shopping in the Civic Monday I had a phone call to warn me not to drive home through the Main Street of Tewantin to get home because of traffic congestion. Later on my phone I saw the reason why. Congestion you can move with a cough. This was more like Exodus. The traffic on every road attempting to get to Noosa North Shore by the Ferry was more like the Israelites trying to get out of Egypt. Moses would have been out of his depth today. I take my hat off to residents in and around Moorindal Street Tewantin this time of the year. In the past it was more like New Year when this was expected. Why a day later? Ernest Wright, Tewantin
Too many visitors I am writing to you in the hope of possibly shining some light onto the subject of protecting Noosa North Shore and limiting the amount of vehicles that are accessing the region. The amount of visitors to the region has boomed over the last two years and so has the amount of vehicles lining up for the ferry. On Monday the traffic line waiting for the Moorindal street ferry in Tewantin was backed up all the way from the ferry itself to the town centre and beyond. This amount of traffic needs to be brought to the attention of our local government to help fix this issue. The amount of vehicles headed over to Noosa North Shore can be limited by the amount of permits granted by Queensland Parks and Wildlife, but the permits aren’t currently limited to a sustainable, responsible number and this is causing great devastation to our local flora and fauna on our beaches, especially during turtle nesting season (NovMarch) which are peak times. The increase in visitors to the region has seen an increase in damage to our dunes, increased rubbish and biological risks from human waste. Limiting the amount of visitors to the area will help rejuvenate our beaches, allow wildlife to return (we saw this happen when beaches were closed during Covid) will reduce the risk of accidents on the beach and drastically reduce the traffic problem in the local area. Residents on North Shore cannot access their properties easily due to extreme queues as well as residents who live around or on Moorindil Street in Tewantin. Solutions from locals are: Build a bridge- open to local residents/emergency services and limited day permits only. People pay a membership each year through QPWS and receive a couple of day permits annually. Ballot system could be implemented the same as the Double Island Point lighthouse. Booking system for ferry time slots. No access to 4wd on the beaches trial Please help to protect and conserve our local environment. Jenna Degan, Noosa

Missing the carols We were saddened by John Terrell’s letter in last week’s “Noosa Today”. 30 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 January, 2023
Glenda Robinson is pictured here with Moon Flowers at Doonan. They only flower one night a year, but are worth the wait, she said. If you have a Lenscape please email to newsdesk@noosatoday.com.au
Some at least of the “poor people of Noosa Waters” share Mary Xmas’ distress that carols no longer emanate from the boats in the Christmas flotilla, but they know it isn’t because “people don’t do that sort of thing here.” Mary, tell your dad that the flotilla developed from the event we called Carol’s Carols, started some 20 odd years ago by Carol and John Symington. The carols were an integral part of the event, the local radio station broadcasting carols and the people on the boats, and on the shore, joining the singing. One year the lead boat even had a live angel Gabriel as a figurehead. The ownership of homes, the sense of community and indeed the Noosa Waters Residents Association itself have changed over the years and most of the early residents have died or moved. We do hope Mary availed herself of the Noosa Waters Canalside Christmas Music event on 21st December held in the heart of Noosa Waters with many attendees both on boats and in the Saltwater park. Everyone sang! To our knowledge, no one complained. Gwenyth Yuill and John Deshon AM, Noosaville

Inconvenient Truths Why are CABN and the State Government ignoring several ‘inconvenient truths’ regarding the Great Cooloola Walk Ecotourism Project? The government’s webpage on the ‘Cooloola Great Walk ecotourism project’, updated less than two weeks ago, reveals: Each of the five commercial accommodation sites will contain a number of structures. The current proposal is for six small ecotents at each of the three remote sites and 10 small cabins at the two less remote northern sites, plus a communal structure that includes kitchen and dining facilities at each site. Also included will be raised boardwalks between these structures, power, water and wastewater
infrastructure, and rainwater storage tanks. These structures will likely be considered sacrificial in the case of bush fires, to avoid reliance on unacceptably large firebreaks. Key approvals Site plans and structure designs for DES approval have not been finalised and are currently being developed by CABN. Exact specifications for wastewater management systems are still in development. The project still requires several key environmental approvals, most notably local government development approvals under Noosa Shire and Gympie Regional Councils, and final approval under the Nature Conservation Act 1992. Nevertheless, the project is expected to be completed by early 2024, depending on these approvals being granted. Visitation According the website, the Cooloola Great Walk is greatly under-utilised. On average, less than five visitors stay the night. What is the reason for this? Is weather a factor? Are walking conditions unpleasant and/or difficult during wet weather, and hot and humid conditions? Are insects a factor? Is the walk just not that interesting? How will visitation rates be affected by the heat and rain predicted for this area due to climate change? Where are the workers? Tourism businesses in the Rainbow Beach area have reduced operating hours over this Christmas period, due to staffing shortages. If this situation continues, will workers be available to maintain and service these cabins and tents and infrastructure? Where are these workers coming from and where will they live given the shortage of affordable accommodation? Feasibility Study This project was conceived in 2019 or earlier, before the adverse effects of climate change and covid-19 on SE Queensland became more evident. Future construction, maintenance and servicing is likely to be delayed by inclement weather, heat and covid waves, with the result that the project may not be economically feasible. The government must carry out a feasibility study before proceeding further. Julia Walkden, Cooroy
Real elephant in the room Your correspondent, Brian Ford (NT 23 Dec) follows the Angus Taylor and Matt Canavan script pretty closely. In summary: Burning fossil fuels might bring horrible consequences for humans on this planet but the solution has some problems so let’s just forget about it. You are right, Brian, it will not be easy to
achieve the absolutely necessity of stopping the burning and production of fossil fuels, and some people realize this and are worried enough for the next generation (even this one) to be inconvenient and draw attention to it. If we hadn’t squandered the last decade in denying the truth about global warming it wouldn’t be so expensive to find a solution but, as warned, the longer we put off a solution, the more expensive it will become. It is a bit like delaying maintenance on your house or car. The longer you put it off the more expensive it becomes. The main difference is that delaying action on climate disruption will be deadly, in the way it is manifesting all over the world right now. I don’t feel as much like the Danish King Canute, to whom he compared me, but more like the American Paul Revere. It isn’t the Red Coats that are coming. It’s climate change. And folks like you are just standing around unworried by it, to the peril of us all. I must remind Brian that protests are definitely not a first world problem. There have been over 400 protests in 132 countries in the past few years, many of them lasting many months or even years. Protesting has achieved a number of important outcomes including women suffrage (suffragettes used violence and many were jailed), black suffrage, end to the Viet Nam war, opening of society in China after shut downs due to Covid and many others. It is sad that I have to bring these to his attention. Brian’s fears seem to be based on a conservative point of view that all change is bad and, on this basis, I feel safe to say that in this era where our lifestyle is having an enormous impact on our ecosystem, a conservative perspective is dangerous. Brian is also somewhat ignorant about the solutions. Cutting out a meat is a small solution but it won’t require anyone to eat insects. I was a strict vegetarian for over 3 decades but over the past few years, I have eaten meat about once every 5 or 6 weeks to maintain my iron levels. I regularly ride a bicycle for errands and exercise and cover between 50 and 160 km a week. I don’t need meat for that. Brian quotes Angus Taylor as saying that “subsidies for weather dependent renewable energy would reach $22B by 2030”. This statement makes no sense to me, but sounds much like the garble the ex-Minister often let out to the press during his service. No, the elephant in the room is the biomass of climate change deniers (road bumps) inhibiting our rush to avoid the real inconvenience of climate change. Steve Hall, Cooroy

NBRF opens membership At the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation AGM in December, the NBRF constitution was changed from members consisting only of Directors and ex-Directors to also allowing individuals or bodies corporate to apply for membership. Although no longer the tightly closed shop that the Council-funded NBRF has been to date, the application process appears rather constrained. Applications can only be considered once a year at an Annual General Meeting of members (not at interim general meetings
or by the Board). The selection criteria are not clearly defined, other than being “in the opinion of the members, supportive of the purpose of the company”. And an application requires nomination by a current member. So politicisation or favouritism are not ruled out. But a transparent process of selection is a possibility to be hoped for. Another major change is that ordinary NBRF membership is now only for three years, after which the person or entity has to
Nevertheless the cautious opening up of membership is a positive first step towards potentially allowing more community involvement in NBRF decision-making. This could lead to something good by facilitating synergies with experts and organisations which have compatible objectives. But we await the AGM next December, as only at AGMs will the proof of the pudding be in the eating. Gaining acceptance for change is never easy and those who worked to make this change happen deserve appreciation.
re-apply. This applies to both new and existing members (all of the latter being ex-Directors). I note that the NBRF purpose is still only defined as “protecting and enhancing the natural environment”, not the socially, culturally and environmentally sustainable economic development envisioned by UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Program. When as councillor I asked why, Noosa Council’s former CEO asserted this limitation was due to requirements of the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission.
Security tips for staying in multi-residential properties The Sunshine Coast hosts an influx of visitors around the Christmas period. When it comes to high-rise residential buildings and apartments, security is essential. Sunshine Coast police are encouraging residents and tourists to be proactive in ensuring their units and cars are properly secured over this busy time. On 5 and 6 December, it is alleged that four units in Fiji Court, Parrearra had items stolen from outside their units and from inside their unlocked vehicles. A 14-year-old Parrearra boy and a 14-yearold Beerwah boy were charged for these offences.
The 14-year-old Parreara boy was cautioned under the Youth Justices Act. The 14-year-old Beewah boy was charged with possess dangerous drug, five counts of enter premises and commit an indictable offence, breach of bail, fraud, attempted stealing, two counts of stealing, unlawful use of a motor vehicle, possess stolen property and three counts of trespass and has been remanded in custody. On 12 December, it is alleged unknown offenders entered a holiday apartment through an unlocked sliding door in Alexander Heads. The offenders stolen keys and a wal-
let from kitchen bench. This is a friendly reminder to place all items of value out of sight and in a secure place. Avoid storing excess belongings and valuables in garage areas and lock-up garages. If you are visiting the Sunshine Coast, it is a good idea to become familiar with safety procedures and simple courteous considerations within the accommodation you are staying. How will common areas of the building be supervised? What can people do if they don’t know the person entering the building behind them?

Looking back on big year To our Noosa Shire community, it’s hard to believe that another year has passed and a new one awaits us all. As we go forward into 2023, I’d like to take the opportunity to look at everything we have achieved together in 2022. It was a year of triumphs and tragedy, but through it all, we have worked tirelessly to support each other. Of that, I am incredibly proud. Noosa Council was very fortunate to appoint Scott Waters as the new chief executive officer. After his appointment, Mr Waters tabled a report on the organisation. A health check of the organisation was something I flagged in 2021 and was very much needed and warranted. The report details recommendations and outcomes that will lead to council’s improved service delivery to the community. The floods in early 2022 were unprecedented, causing one major landslide, 28 landslips, two water crossings and damaging over 100 roads in the Noosa Shire. The repair bill for the two flood events in 2023 is near $40m, creating the largest reconstruction program in the shire’s history. Repairs and reconstruction are ongoing and I would like to thank the community for their support, patience and understanding as we continue to recover from this natural disaster. I stood on a platform of increased fire mitigation and resilience, which this council has taken huge strides in. Among many initiatives, Noosa Council is the first council in Queensland to partner with US tech company Pano AI to trial cutting-edge technology to detect fires early, verify their location and provide real-time intelligence. Council will continue to put a significant focus on fire initiatives to lead the way in fire management and mitigation to support community resilience in 2023, as we move out of the La Nina weather pattern and into a period of potentially drier weather. With more than 5000 short-stay properties now in the Noosa Shire, this council ratified and introduced a new Short-Stay Letting Local Law in response to calls from the community. A two-year monitoring report shows that this council has only approved 18 new shortterm accommodation dwellings over a period of two years, and all were consistent with the 2020 Noosa Town Plan. All other applications which were approved had existing use rights. This council, as it promised, stood by hinterland residents to launch legal action against the quarry operators. We will continue to stand with the community on this matter. I was privileged to be involved in the Mingle with the Mayor Ball, organised and supported by community, raising funds and awareness for domestic violence in the Noosa Shire. Supporting Noosa’s DFV response is a council priority. This council provided another land parcel for Shine Houses for the construction of more transitional housing accommodation. Council also partnered with Youturn Youth Support, for two tiny homes for transitional housing. The personal commendation from the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) for local leadership for DFV prevention and awareness work is grateful recognition of the work we, as community are doing and advocating for. Noosa Shire continues to face a housing emergency that is having an impact on the economy, on our businesses and affecting the liveability of our communities. In response to Mayoral Minute, in December 2020 a housing needs assessment was undertaken to inform council’s Housing Strategy. This strategy is the most aggressive and progressive step Noosa Council has taken in this space and we will focus on the implementation of some of the ideas in the strategy this year. In July 2020, this council has taken again the most proactive step in the management and sustainable use of the Noosa River and its catchment by forming the Noosa River Stakeholder Advisory Committee in conjunction with Maritime Safety Queensland. As a mayoral candidate, Sunrise Beach Shopping Centre was a priority. So I am thrilled 32 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 January, 2023
Hinterland Adventure Playground at Cooroy is completed.
Mayor Clare Stewart and CEO Scott Waters an IGA supermarket has opened in the anchor tenancy space at the Sunrise Shops. A huge win for all. Support of local sporting and community organisations was another priority so I am delighted this council is contributing $800k, with $1m in grant funding, towards the construction of a new multipurpose facility at Noosa District Sports Complex which will be completed in June 2023. A focus for 2023 is building on this and enhancing our sporting facilities across the Shire. In the 2021-2022 financial year, this council delivered $35m worth of capital projects to our Shire, the most in a 12-month cycle. With a record capital infrastructure budget, this council delivered projects such as the Hinterland Adventure Playground, Noosa Parade upgrade, Beckmans Road roundabout, Peregian Community House and replacement of three hinterland bridges: Wahpunga Lane Bridge, Cooroy Belli Creek Road Bridge and Tablelands Roads Bridge B, Cooran and a $5m Road Reseal Program in this year’s budget to fix roads across the Shire. Delivering grassroots projects to the community is a focus for this council. Connectivity is also a priority and a package of pathway improvements to fill the missing links in our footpath network are being delivered across the Shire. This council also made a financial commitment of $1.1m in the budget to upgrade the Noosa Trail 5 network and an additional $250k
Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart to upgrade trails of high ecological value. This council will continue to focus on liveability including the maintenance of environmental lands and outdoor spaces in 2023. Noosa Council has more environmental land now than ever before. This council has continued to secure conservation land, with 40.8% of land in the Shire now secured for conservation, compared with 34.75% in 2018. I strongly advocated for Noosa Council to join the Council of Mayors (SEQ) and received full support from all councillors. By joining CoMSEQ, the Noosa Shire has received a commitment of $3.58m in funding from the first round of the SEQ City Deal to kick-start liveability projects across Noosa. It also includes more than $105m to improve waste infrastructure across South East Qld, building on the Council of Mayors (SEQ) Waste Management Plan. Waste is a huge focus for this council this year, and already we are looking at a collaboration with neighbouring councils for a waste strategy to help reduce emissions. Another positive of being on the Council of Mayors (SEQ) is the opportunity to meet with federal and state ministers to advocate for Noosa. To have a voice we must sit at the table. A lot of this work is done behind the scenes. I was privileged to secure the support of the Council of Mayors (SEQ) to represent South
East Queensland councils on the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee. Again, another opportunity for co-operation and advocacy. These are just the highlights for this council of 2022. There is more and none of it would have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our councillors, council staff and of course our community. This year we will continue to focus on the basics; roads, rates, rubbish; the continued support of community groups and sporting groups; accessibility; better facilities and lifelong support for all residents. Moving residents and visitors in peak periods around the Shire is another major focus for this council. We have already taken steps in this space and we believe this council is the first in Queensland to implement free weekend buses until February 2024 and all councillors are committed to this. Implementation of our Corporate Plan will be our guiding principle for the next five years with an incredibly strong focus on environmental assets. We are indeed different by nature and that needs to be protected, maintained and enhanced at all times. As we go forward into 2023, may our relationships, hopes and common goals unite us all. I look forward to working with and for you in 2023.

Noosa FM needs a hand Radio is not only entertaining and informative, it’s good for your health, according to recent research, but to ensure our own community radio continues Noosa FM needs help to fund its upgrade to bring it up to speed. Research conducted in 2020 by Townsville and Melbourne universities found as well as enjoyment, listening to the radio improved survey participants well-being, making them more relaxed, improving their mood and increasing their feelings of comfort and community. Another UK study determined listening to the radio helped reduce the risk of developing dementia. Noosa FM 101.3 president Sibylle Reisch said their own research conducted last year on listeners provided some interesting information on who is listening to the local radio station. “Our core age group of 50 per cent of listeners are 30 to 55 years-of-age, 25 per cent are between 15 to 30 years and 25 per cent of all our listeners are over 55 years,” Sibylle said. “Noosa FM has 51 per cent male and 49 per cent female listeners, 76 per cent are listening in the car and 50 per cent at home with an average of five hours listening time per day. “Our youngest listener, that we know of is 10 years of age and according to his mum loves Noosa FM and records all programs – he may be our next generation radio presenter in the making. “We have many regularly listeners, like Paul McCaul and call us every week to leave their feedback, which we love.” Paul so appreciates Noosa FM he decided recently to give them a helping hand with a $999 donation to support their work, volunteers and to keep them on-air. “Noosa FM is good to listen to when working or moving around,” Paul said. “They play a great variety of good music with minimal ads and minimal talk shows which are ok if interspersed with good music like the presenters on
Noosa FM do.” Sibylle said Noosa FM was financially sound thanks to our members, volunteers, community subscriber and sponsors, but there were big expenses expected this year. “In 2023 we have the big task to refurbish our on-air and training studios which are in need of updating and this will be a big financial extra for our volunteers of over $130,000 will have to find,” she said. “Thanks to a grant by the Noosa Council last year, our tech-volunteers were able to start. However, we need help and support to achieve this big goal which is needed greatly to move into the future and to keep improving the sound of Noosa FM 101.3.” Noosa FM is all self-funded, staffed and operated by volunteers who we call our time philanthropists, Sibylle said. The station has been broadcasting full time since 1997 and was awarded a new five-year community radio broadcasting licence by ACMA in 2022. Among its presenters are three teenagers, Lola, TJ and Reuben who all successfully produce and present their own programs. Sibylle said the teens all had lots of followers and received lots of compliments. All three were awarded the “Noosa FM Youth Presenter Trophy” at the AGM in December 2022 for their great success, she said. Sibylle thanked all their sponsors and everybody who was supporting them and donating to them like Paul McCall from Eumundi. She urged people to visit their website and Noosa FM Facebook page to support their big Radio Raffle for 2023 and pointed out the notfor-profit organisation was registered as deductable gift recipient (DGR) making all donations 100 per cent tax deductable. You can visit members of Noosa FM 101.3 at the Australia Day celebration at the Lions Park, Gympie Terrace when they will be broadcasting the event live for our community.

The Audreys heading here Americana/alt-country darlings and multiple ARIA award winners The Audreys are back and will be taking to the stage in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 28 January for a night of beautiful music, supported by Tobias Band. Led by sultry songstress Taasha Coates, The Audreys have graced almost every major festival in Australia and played more gigs than they can count. They’ve rocked festivals and clubs in Europe and North America, sold songs to films and TV shows far and wide, written music for live theatre, won awards, hit the charts, gone gold and pawned their very hearts for rock and roll. The Audreys began as university buddies and songwriting duo Taasha Coates and Tristan Goodall, forming in Adelaide in 2004. They released their first album Between Last Night And Us in 2006. The album went on to win that year’s ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album and was certified gold for record sales, catapulting them onto the national stage. Singles, Oh Honey and You and Steve McQueen, received high rotation on Triple J, and over the coming years the band played blues and roots festival, Falls Festival, Port Fairy, Splendour and everything in between. In 2008 they released their follow up album, won a second ARIA, and began touring in North America. In 2011 they released their third album Sometimes The Stars, picked up yet another ARIA, and scored a major synch placement in the US show One Tree Hill. In 2014 The Audreys made a music video with Adelaide dance troupe Restless Dance Theatre. That year’s album Till My Tears Roll Away was again nominated for an ARIA but lost to John Butler. In 2016 Taasha released her first solo album Taasha Coates and Her Melancholy Sweethearts, recorded with fellow musician Shane
Americana/alt-country darlings and multiple ARIA award winners The Audreys. Nicholson. Tristan helped write the album, so they kind of considered it the fifth Audreys album. In July 2022, Tristan sadly passed away from a long illness. Before retiring from touring, Tristan had given Taasha his blessings for her to continue what they started, and she has been touring with a new line-up who’ll join her in Eumundi with Tom Kneebone on guitar, Beej Barker on drums and Felicity Freeman on bass. The Audreys have been back in the studio and are ready for a new release in 2023, so be
the first to hear some of the new songs - along with all the old favourites of course. Indie/folk pop artist Tobias has been described as “Beck meets Paul Kelly meets War On Drugs“. After two decades performing on the international stage, Tobias has playing alongside Missy Higgins, Jen Cloher, Archie Roach, Fanny Lumsden, Mark Seymour and Shane Howard. Known for his exceptional breadth, craftsmanship and songwriting ability, Tobias comes to life in his live performances with his band. His single ‘When The Sun Come Up Again’ be-
Indie/folk pop artist Tobias. came AMRAP #1 in Australia in 2017. Prior to Cov, Tobias had toured for the past five years living on the road building audiences around Australia, performing at festivals and organising drought relief concerts in towns throughout Western Queensland.

Thattil to release new book What would you change in your life if you could silence the voice that tells you you’re not enough, keep quiet, you can’t do it, or there is no space for you? One of Australia’s boldest voices, Maria Thattil was propelled into the spotlight when she was crowned Miss Universe Australia in 2020. She placed in the top 10 of the international competition in 2021 and was only the third woman of colour to represent Australia in the pageant’s 69-year history. As a queer child of South Asian immigrants growing up in suburban Melbourne, Maria knows what it is like to struggle with belonging, to have confusing, disparate identities, none of them fitting traditional ideas of worth, power or success. In her upcoming book set to be published by Penguin Random House Australia (PRH) in February 2023, Unbounded, Maria shares galvanising stories of what she has lived and learned through experiencing racism, sexism, financial hardship, intergenerational trauma, homophobia and mental health challenges. Leveraging her degrees in psychology and human resources management, and current training in neurocoaching, Unbounded is part inspiration, part memoir, offering a 10-step resource for people who wish to explore their own identity, free themselves from limiting beliefs and inspire change in their own life. “Writing my first book Unbounded was a process of me baring my soul on pages,” she said. “I have never shared so much. It was a deeply personal journey to pen the moments behind the highs, lows and everything in between. “But I wanted readers to feel like they’re in the rooms with me, when these defining moments in my life happened. I wanted them to feel like they’re sitting on a couch with me, talking to a loving friend who gets it.
Media personality, activist, writer, and speaker Maria Thattil.
Penguin Random House Australia set to publish Unbounded by Maria Thattil.
“And while reliving trauma and sharing so many honest, unfiltered parts of myself is raw, it was something I knew I needed to do because people connect with stories, and it’s how I can share what I’ve learned about living beyond limits. Turning my own pain into power, has been my superpower. And now I want to help others do the same. “Unbounded is the most rewarding and fulfilling thing I’ve ever done.” As a media personality, activist, writer, and speaker, Maria has created a media platform fiercely advocating for inclusion and equality.

Oriana Choir joined with Brisbane Chorale and the Sinfonia of St Andrews to present Haydn’s The Creation at Venue 114, Bokarina, and Brisbane City Hall. 311925
LIVE
Rehearsals for The Creation at Brisbane City Hall. 311925
A fabulous year of music By Erle Levey It was a fabulous year of music making for the Sunshine Coast Oriana Choir in 2022 – with some amazing performances planned for 2023. The highlight was the performance of Haydn’s classic The Creation in front of more than 1000 at the Brisbane City Hall and Bokarina’s Venue 114. With standing ovations and numerous callbacks on stage, the performances combined Oriana with Brisbane Chorale and Sinfonia of St Andrew’s in the presence of Queensland governor Jeanette Young. If 2021 was Oriana’s ‘Covid Comeback’ year, 2022 has been a re-boot. Following two great seasons last year, in which the choir delighted audiences with Mozart’s masterful Requiem, Ola Gjeilo’s sublime Sunrise Mass, and Come to the Woods, a superb programme of songs by American composers. Preparations were well under way for Dancing Queen: A Tribute to Abba & Queen. This had already been previously put on the back-burner, and sadly had to be shelved again, when Covid once again closed the choir’s rehearsals down, and it was with considerable regret that Season 1 for 2022 had to be cancelled. But this setback was more than made up for by what was achieved in Seasons 2 and 3. Under the guidance and tutelage of Ten Tenors founder Kim Kirkman, Oriana presented three performances of Faure’s beautiful Requiem, and two performances of the dramatic, spectacular Nelson Mass by Joseph Haydn, accompanied by the Sinfonia of St Andrews. Season 3 was a first for the choir; Oriana joined forces with Brisbane Chorale, under the leadership of Emily Cox AM, and a combined ensemble of more than 150 choristers presented Haydn’s The Creation to a total of nearly 1000 delighted music lovers at Venue 114, Bokarina, and Brisbane City Hall. Accompanied once again by the Sinfonia of St Andrew’s, this was an immensely popular, and highly successful event, and an Oriana career highlight.
Bringing an historical and monumental oratorio such as The Creation to life was an extraordinary honour for the choir. The meaning behind what this work conveys for so many was encapsulated in the standing ovations received from both nearcapacity audiences at Kawana and in Brisbane. The presence of the Queensland governor highlighted to the choristers, the value of the work that is put in to bring this music to life hundreds of years after its original composition, and share it with such appreciative audiences. Extra-curricular performances throughout the year included: A small ensemble of Orianians singing at the Buderim Dawn Service; A weekend workshop with the brilliant music conductor/educator Graham Abbott; The annual ‘Sing with Queensland Symphony Orchestra’ at the ABC Concert Hall, Brisbane; Christmas Carols with the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir on a Noosa River Cruise. It was quite a year. And through it all, Oriana’s artistic director, Fay Baker OAM, has been a tower of strength and an inspiration to the whole choir. It is Fay who plans the repertoire for each season, and she’s always thinking at least two years ahead. Her passion for Oriana, her musicality, and her dedication to excellence are largely responsible for creating and maintaining the choir’s reputation for presenting beautiful music, exquisitely performed to a very high standard. Oriana delights in 2023 will include: Season One – Oriana Sings – Mozart Vespers and the Music of Ola Gjeilo; Season Two – Beneath the Southern Cross – a Celebration of Australian Music; Season 3 – Handel’s Messiah – the beloved, perennial favourite. WHAT’S MUSIC GOT TO DO WITH IT? Music is a phenomenon in life we can all relate

to. It can motivate us, make us sad, happy, energised, melancholy, inspired. It can transport us instantly to another time, a moment in our lives where an artist or group now represent something important – a feeling, an event, a relationship. For Oriana president Melissa Innes, the recent Oriana Christmas Dinner celebrating the year passed – offered an opportunity to reflect. “Taking a moment to reflect provides an opportunity for us to stand back from the day-today, to consider our own and others’ roles in the big picture – and to consider the important things … little and big.” It seems for Oriana, like so many other organisations, this year has been all about the great come-back. But not just a return to what was before … the need to consider what the differences are. How, as a community organisation they’ve travelled through one of the strangest, most challenging life events in our history, a time of transformation for many families, businesses, and community organisations. “It’s too early to say ‘Wasn’t Covid dreadful’ or ‘Isn’t it great to be on the other side of that!…’ “We all know we would be naïve to consider Covid isn’t here to stay in one form or other – but what I hope we can say… is that we’ve grown with Covid.” Oriana, like many organisations, has grown in its resilience, in its ability to adapt. And it’s been a time where support of each other has been crucial, the role that Oriana plays not only in members’ lives – but in the lives of those they sing for, family members, members of the Sunshine Coast community – and beyond. As Sharon Fitness, long-term committee member and life member recipient at the choir’s Christmas dinner explained: “Through the passion and commitment we as Oriana members bring to this organisation, our singing and events create a ripple effect that spreads through the community – like a
stone cast into the water.” Sharon’s volunteer commitment to the choir over the past 17 years in her roles as publicity officer and concert logistic manager is reflective of the great pride Oriana’s members take in being a part of something they value greatly as members of the Sunshine Coast community. One member recalled “…the tears and genuine appreciation of some of our audience members who stand at the completion of our performance – seemingly enraptured – and encouraging others around them to do the same… that’s why I love what we do.” Melissa highlighted this sense of being a part of something special – that enables members to give back a little to their fellow Sunshine Coasters. “Oriana offer its members an escapism from the hectic world of work and family life … but for many Oriana means friendship, companionship, or an extra family.’’ Melissa said the organisation aimed to create a strong sense of belonging – something Oriana members can take great pride to be a part of – a family they’ve come to rely on when life throws them a curve ball. More Sunshine Coast families are realising the benefits of singing for their children too. The last term of the school year alone saw 15 new younger members join Oriana’s youth choir – the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir. Director Annie Wilson was proud of what these talented and passionate youngsters achieved in just a few short rehearsals ahead of their end-of-year Memorable Musicals concert. “It takes the hard work and dedication of each of the children every week to achieve the performance standard they did for their final concert – some of these children have never performed in front of an audience … or read music before in their lives. “It’s a huge accomplishment and we’re very proud of all of them.’’ For further details on Sunshine Coast Oriana Choir search oriana.org.au/

Meet world chamion, Sade By Abbey Cannan The Noosa community has plenty of sports stars to look out for, and world champion waterskier Sade Ferguson, 19, is certainly one of them. She was born in Roma, outback Queensland, in 2003, and began competitive water skiing at age six. “I’m a country girl at heart,” Sade said. She won her first national title as an eight year old and by the age of 12 was competing in her first international tournament in the disciplines of slalom, trick and jump. “My parents were always social skiers and when I was six, they took me and my siblings to a come and try day, and from that day on, I loved skiing,” Sade said. “I loved training alongside people who pushed me, so I entered my first tournament when I was eight. I won a small state competition and from then on, I became obsessed with pushing myself to be better.” She won her first national title in 2014 at the Australian Junior Masters, and by 2019 she had set seven Australian junior records across various disciplines. She also collected five Junior Moomba Titles and a Junior World Title in the jump discipline, as well as taking out the title of Australian Open Women’s Jump, Trick and Overall Champion while still young enough to compete as a junior. Her skills and consistent training then earned her bronze medals in the overall at the junior world titles and she made the finals at the 2019 Open World Championships competing against adults while still a junior. 2019 provided even more success when she was crowned Junior USA Masters Jump Champion. By the end of 2019, Sade was ranked no 1 in Australia and the world at junior level and number 2 at national senior level, and has been honoured with the Maranoa region Australia Day Junior Sports Award. “I moved to Noosa three months ago, to get

Sade said being recognised as a recipient of the SAHOF Scholarship Program was definitely an honour. “I train five days a week on the water and after work every night I go to the gym. I base my training around how my body feels,” Sade said. “I plan on heading to America in the end of April start of May in 2023, to train and prepare myself for the worlds in August.”
By the end of 2019, Sade was ranked no 1 in Australia and the world at junior level and number 2 at national senior level. Sade said her greatest achievements so far included: Sports Hall of Fame Scholarship Holder. 2018 Jnr World Champion. Open Women Slalom, Trick and Overall National Champion. 2019 U21 Bronze Slalom and Overall World Champion. 5 x Moomba Jnr Slalom and Overall Champion.

It’s pony heaven at the Thunder cricket teams heading for finals’ action Tewantin Noosa Pony Club By Randall Woodley Now that the calendar has turned over into 2023 each of the Tewantin-Noosa Thunder Cricket teams are training and planning for the Sunshine Coast Cricket Association’s season’s finals to be played in March. Depending on the grades there are only 4 or 5 matches remaining and every run scored, every wicket taken, and each games won or lost will be vital to the outcome of the season. Players in every club will be desperate and will be striving to ensure their team is there in the March finals fighting to bring their respective premiership cup home. On the current positions on the competition ladder it is quite possible that four of the Thunder’s five senior men’s teams could be in the top four in their grades. Situation for each team as at January 1 are as follows:FIRST GRADE: Caboolture - 96 points Maroochydore - 89 points Tewantin-Noosa - 86 points Gympie - 57 points One win or a loss can make a huge difference to the points table and the Thunder are confident they will either be No 1 or No 2 when March rolls around. In the sixteen matches played so far in the season the team have scored most runs in the competition (2738) and taken the third most wickets (140). In the individual season statistics, Ben Laughlin is 4th highest run scorer in the grade with 469 whilst Jarrod Officer is just behind with 464. The teams young opening bowler, Tom Stewart has taken the second most wickets of all the comp’s bowlers with 26 wickets to his name so far.
· · · ·
Next Saturday and Sunday (7th & 8th January) the team will be playing Caloundra at their ground and will be aiming for another outright win. SECOND GRADE: The team showed some real spirit in December but currently they are sitting in seventh place in their grade. However, they are looking forward to the remaining matches to establish themselves as a danger to the teams above them. The team has next Saturday off but will resume their season on Jan 14th when they play Palmwoods at their ground. THIRD GRADE: The team is currently in 5th place but only a few points behind 3rd and 4th place and with a couple of consecutive wins they will be in the crucial four. They are playing well and figuring in the finals is their goal. They start their run to the finals against Palmwoods at home on January 14. FIFTH GRADE: The boys are on a roll and sit 3rd on their grade’s ladder They have a “5 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses” record and on form should finish second or third when the finals teams are announced. The team will front up to USC at Read Park next weekend (7th & 8th January) in their quest to add more points to their total. SIXTH GRADE: The team finished strongly in 2022 and are well situated in 3rd spot. They have a strong team ethic and believe they will be right up there in March when the final match of the season is played. The boys have a big weekend coming up playing Cooroy-Eumundi at Dale Officer Oval next Saturday and Sunday.

Outriggers up for challenge Noosa Outrigger Canoe Club. They say that there is no rest for the wicked. So, therefore what say you of the Noosa Outriggers Club. Colin Jones has informed us, that over the Christmas period the Noosa Outriggers Club trained hard in preparation for the Sydney Harbour Challenge. This event will take place on the 25 February, with expectations being that Noosa will have at least eight crews from the club participating and the makeup being men’s, women’s and mixed. “The event involves a 22-kilometre paddle. Starting in Rose Bay, then east out through the Heads, the course will see them travelling outside South Head for a distance of 1.5kl, before returning for a run up the Harbour, past Fort Denison Shark Island, to the Opera House and back to the finish at Rose Bay. Such is the reputation of this race, that many of the 102 outrigger clubs in Australia are expected to be represented at this formidable endurance event.” The events prior to the Christmas break in which Noosa teams took part, saw them perform well. So, if their continued Christmas training is not too vigorously interrupted by their celebrations, then anything is possible. This is yet another club that is making a great contribution to the sporting fraternity of our community. With membership catering up to the 60 plus age group, it can’t help but create a happy friendly atmosphere. And this is a great foundation on which to build a successful club. We wish them all the very best for the season ahead. Noosa Barbell Club. Now is the time that a lot of our clubs look back on the year that was, celebrate their achievement with festivity, and following this, plan for what lays ahead in 2023. One such club is the Noosa Barbell Club. Woogie Marsh is coach of one such club. “It was a long season of weightlifting for our club, and we finished off the year with our annual Christmas lift off. This is when we got together as a community, dress up in Christmas outfits and had in-house competition. It was great, and showed great family spirit. A great indication for the year ahead. Winning on this occasion is not of course a priority: its main aim is getting all our members together, celebrating another fantastic year, and above all thanking our club supporters, the Chartists, for their massive contribution to the club.” The Chartists (whose charter consists of stock markets and financial education) have been successful in getting us to where we needed to be regarding financial support and positive role modelling. They have been an amazing supporter of Barbell and the sport of weightlifting. Also, to Rick Kelly from CrossFit 4566/Noosa Barbell Club, for his continued support of the club and facility.” This year poses to be even bigger with the season starting in early February: with the U 23 state titles and other events running through the year, until December 2023. “We are looking forward to seeing many new faces standing on the winners’ platform at our annual Youth and First Timers’ competition. This will take part in mid-February.” However, good news this week for the Barbell club. Coach Marsh, has been informed that two members, Jack Lafferty and Kaiya Marsh, have been selected in the Australian Pathways Squad to compete against the New Zealand’s Pathway in Auckland. This will take place on 16 February. “This is really great news. Both are good members and have been training hard. But what makes this even better, is that 7 of the 14 team members selected from all over Australia, come from the Sunshine Coast. To think that 50 per cent of the Australian team comes from our coast, tells we must be doing a lot of things right. Also, it shows our community that we have top coaches available for young people wanting to take up the sport of weightlifting: and 42 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 6 January, 2023

something for parents to remember, it is an Olympic sport.” Comment. Throughout the year it has become quite apparent that within our shire there is an outstanding number of athletes, from outside the world of football, whose ability has taken them right to the top and from here they are chosen to represent their state and or country. And they are many in number. Since the year 2014, many of our locals have reached these levels and as a result received the high honour of representing Australia: travelling overseas to such places as Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, Japan, China, Finland, Spain, England and Ireland. And of course, there is the ultimate- the Olympic Games. Many have returned having won medals. Above all, the invaluable experience gained at such a level of competition, could set them up
for selection in the years ahead. This will see them living a life that, had it not been for their sporting prows, would have been beyond their wildest dreams. Some of us, understand the hours required for training and the sacrifices made in their personal life. Then there is the parent contribution: in time, family life and of course the big one. Finance. And therein lays a major problem. If their sport is relatively unknown and media attention is limited, the battle to achieve sponsorship will of course be difficult. Recent achievements, by some of our local athletes have resulted in overseas travel: and this really brings the matter of finance to the for-front. Then, because of the lack of sponsorship the burden will often fall on the shoulders of the families. For example, when a member of the Noosa Athletics Club, was chosen for national representative honours at the 2018, U20 world athletic championships in Finland, it came at a
cost of $5500. The cost to represent his country fell squarely in the lap of the family. To add salt into the wound, it became even harder to accept on arrival in Finland. On meeting team members from European countries, they were astounded to learn the number of athletes that had all expenses paid, by their proud country. This, believe me, is just the tip of the ice berg. From 2014 to 2022 total representative costs to a group of our families in Noosa Athletics, (whose sons and daughters have made Australian selection) comes to $42,000. Recently in discussion with a group of highly respected coaches from various sports, they agreed that the current situation has to be addressed. As we don’t wear football boots, we know that it will be hard. But try we must and try we will. And remember who they are. Our kids, our families, our country. We will keep you informed.

Life of Brine Phil Jarratt - philjarratt.com
Keep Film Archive alive Jolyon Hoff’s ambitious and immensely worthy Surf Film Archive project is entering its third year of finding, scanning and restoring Australia and New Zealand’s lost surf film footage, and the job is only just getting started. “The deeper we get, the more important we realise this cultural history project is,” says Jolyon, a documentary film-maker originally from Adelaide and back living there now. “The film is fading away and it’s getting lost or mouldy. The filmmakers are getting older and their children don’t know what to do with those rusty old film cans. We have to do this now, before it’s too late.” That’s more or less what Jolyon had told me when he visited me in Noosa right at the start of Covid. I’d first met the guy about a dozen years earlier when he’d interviewed me for his first surf-related doco Searching For Michael Peterson, a well-crafted film that enjoyed considerable success, and also alerted Jolyon to the revelation that veteran film-makers like Dick Hoole and Russell Shepherd were sitting on a fast-rotting treasure trove of historic footage. It might have been then that Jolyon started to formulate his archive concept, but in fact he embarked on a human rights awareness campaign that truly showed the measure of the man. Living in Jakarta, Jolyon met a group of Afghan refugees, waiting on longshot opportunities to start a new life. This led to The Staging Post, a vivid and moving rendition of their story, released in 2017. But as good as it was, The Staging Post struggled to find mainstream distribution, so Jolyon took it on the road, showing it in pubs, clubs and town halls, wherever he could draw a crowd of people interested in human rights injustices. It was hard work for little reward, most of which he and his Afghan associates poured back into refugee schools, but the whole time he was road-showing, he kept thinking, this was what the old surf movie guys used to do, so it’s good enough for me. Another film, Watandar, My Countryman followed, telling the story of the Afghan cameleers of South Australia, but by 2020 Jolyon was also totally invested in saving Australia’s cinematic surf history from extinction. By 2021 he had set up a network of surf film veterans who supported the concept and shared it with all the “backyarders” who had trained their old cameras on the action from the beach or a rocky outcrop, purely for their own entertainment. By 2022 he had a restoration team working full-time on the project and last March, he and the team brought the first taste of their efforts to the Noosa Surf Museum for a screening during the Noosa Festival of Surfing. By the end of the year he was screening beautifully remastered ‘60s and ‘70s classics like Bob Evans’ 1965 High On A Cool Wave, the Sheppard Brother’s A Winter’s Tale and David Sumpter’s On Any Morning at festivals and surf gatherings around the coastline, accompanied by live bands. Says Jolyon: “These films are a one-time record of a never-to-be-repeated era in Australia’s history. It has influenced so many of us, and who we are as Australians. No-one else captured this era with the raw and authentic honesty of the early surf filmmakers. We have to make sure their contribution to Australia’s modern history is valued and recognised.” The business model for The Surf Film Archive is fair and simple – screening rights over remastered films are shared between the creator and the Archive. But the project is a long way from break-even point, and it needs all the help it can get from surfers and surfcos who want to see our history preserved. A pre-Christmas fundraiser with a Bob McTavish Plastic Machine one of many great prizes in the draw helped raise around $15,000, and commercial support is growing, but it needs the support of common or garden variety surfers like us. If you need convincing, visit thesurffilmarchive.com.au and have a troll around the restored works. It’s free. Having a lazy afternoon recovering from a hectic session on the

points these holidays, I found myself laughing out loud watching the Double Island snippet from High On A Cool Wave, with narrator Bob Evans saying gravely, “Just getting across the Noosa River in the creaky old punt is an adventure in itself.” Yes, but in 1965 you didn’t have to queue for half a day! I also loved the backyarder footage of the late great Trevor Elms (Currumbin Kruby) and
David Sams tearing it up with forgotten style on the Oahu North Shore. There’s so much good stuff here it can keep you away from the Big Bash.

The year-long project of adding another level of customer lounges and meeting rooms to the Tom Offermann Real Estate office at Quamby Place on Noosa Sound office was completed in September, just in time for 30-year celebrations. The new space was well received by clients, especially the centre-piece Sardinian marble staircase bathed in sunlight streaming through the glass roof. Tom Offermann Real Estate maintained its leading position on the Sunshine Coast. Tom thanks his clients for contributing to this success saying “they entrusted their

properties to us knowing we consistently produce superior results such as the Noosaville and Sunrise Beach suburb price records, smashed a month ago. “Now holding the title of highest Noosaville purchase, a waterfront home at 21 Dolphin Crescent sold under the hammer for $12 million, and just a few days earlier we negotiated a higher price record for Sunrise Beach with a sale immediately post auction of an epic beachfront site at 56 David Low Way. “The buyers have been clients of our office for a long time, which is the case of so many.” The market has not been immune to the interest rate rises, with the market peaking in April and median prices across every suburb softening six percent to 12 percent by year end. These price adjustments are
relatively minor compared to the huge price escalation over the past few years. Auction clearance rates remain high around 80 percent with the rest mostly selling soon afterwards, and the number of bidders is averaging around three to four instead of eight to 10 a year ago. The backlog of buyers is back to normal levels, and it is expected the number of properties available to increase, and return to normal levels early in 2023. “This will result in a more balanced market with more modest price movements. “Whether that is up or down remains uncertain.” “The upper end of the prestige market is driven by forces that are different to those that form the basis of median prices. “There was an unprecedented 23 sales over $10 million during the year which averaged $17,270,000. “Tom Offermann Real Estate negotiated 18 of these, and two were private sales.’’ In welcoming holidaymakers and clients for a long awaited and well-deserved breath of sub-tropical salty breezes and vitamin sea, Tom asked where else could you enjoy such a safe environment overflowing with natural assets, the world’s most amenable climate, and to top it off, friendly people.

QUICK OFF THE MARK If there’s one thing I’ve noticed over the Christmas-New Year period is the activity of holidaymakers this summer. They seem to have been highly-engaged in everything - from days at the beach to inquiring about property. And it has been right from Boxing Day. Roark Walsh at Tom Offermann Real Estate has been busy throughout the past couple of months, and has a strong list of properties going to auction in January. “I’d sold everything by October,’’ he said, “then gathered some listings and took time to prepare them for marketing. “There have been so many inquiries at the weekend. “Interest in Noosa property hasn’t dropped away.’’ What stands out is the diverse listings Roark has - even a striking house on two acres in Coolum Beach in an elevated position. A duplex apartment in Park Cres,
Sunshine Beach, is virtually beachfront as it has a private beach access. Meanwhile a two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhome in Hill St, Sunshine Beach, provides an entry into the sought-after community with the possibility of dual living. The five-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool on 0.74ha at 4 Godilla St, Coolum Beach, goes to auction at 11am on Saturday, 21 January. Built over four levels including two-street access, almost everything is on a grand scale including the tree-top outlook. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom, twocar beachside duplex apartment with pool at 2/38 Park Cres, Sunshine Beach, goes to auction at 11am Saturday, 28 January. “You are literally overlooking millionaires row,’’ Roark said. “There is your own beach access, and white-water views from the bedroom as well as the lounge. “Yet it is private, with a lush tropical backdrop overlooking your pool.
“Built over three levels, it has been well designed and features a great pool area. “A Noosa developer built it for his own use so the quality is evident. Nothing will deteriorate. “There is a guest suite with a second lounge on the ground level and an Italian domestic lift, so it is perfect for the retiree or downsizer. “Both duplexes were built like houses, so there is complete privacy.’’ Featuring European oak and Carrara marble floors, the open-plan living space comes with fireplace and custom cabinetry. The galley-style kitchen is fitted with stone-topped timber cabinetry and the very latest appliances. The main bedroom suite on the top level comes with ensuite and magnificent ocean view. There is an additional main bedroomstyle suite on this level. ACCESS TO EVERYTHING A two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhome at
1/9 Hill St, Sunshine Beach, is scheduled for auction at 12pm on Saturday, 28 January. It provides entry level into into Sunshine Beach, Roark said, with access to everything. Over two levels, the townhome sits back off the street with a private courtyard. The bedrooms are away from the street with the lounge at the front. It offers the possibility of dual living, Roark said. The townhome comes with timber floors throughout the generous spaces including two living areas. Attention has also been paid to natural ventilation and protection from the weather thanks to zincalume awnings over the four terraces. A fully-fenced rear garden helps offer private, house-sized living without the maintenance. ●

ON THE COVER
50 YEARS LATER, LITTLE COVE COTTAGE SET TO GO WORLD CLASS PICTURE irresistible Little Cove where the Coral Sea meets rainforest, albeit the forever verdant Noosa National Park with its world-class surf breaks. Just 600 metres from the celebrated Upper Hastings Street, sophisticated Hastings Street meets laidback Noosa Main Beach as well as Laguna Bay, and it is 700 metres to toes-in-the-white sand of Little Cove Beach. Finally, after 50 years of multigenerational family celebrations, the modest little green and cream cottage with frangipanis out the front, and a rear garden melding with the Noosa National Park reserve, the time is ripe to demolish, develop and make the move to first class. This opportunity is a tour de force. From the street, imagine perched trophylike amongst the trees, embracing the full width of the 686m2 land, a masterpiece of contemporary design, perhaps residence, apartments or duplex, all subject to Noosa Shire Council approval, and within high density zoning of a 12-metre height allowance. Expect views of the Noosa River and beyond to the Coloured Sands and Mt Cooroy from the upper levels.
“The location is second-to-none,” says Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Nic Hunter who is taking the property to auction on Saturday 14 January. “Almost next door is the start of the dedicated pathway through the Noosa National Park to Morwong Drive near Hastings Street, opposite Noosa Main Beach and near to the Noosa Heads’ Surf Life Saving Club. “There is no place like Noosa Heads, and this really is an extraordinary opportunity for a savvy developer to own a slice of paradise in Little Cove, known as a jewel on Australia’s eastern seaboard.” Facts & Features: Land Area: 686m2; 39.6m x 16.9m House Area: 122m2 About: Modest timber cottage originally built in 1972 with timber floors; enclosed front verandah with view to Hinterland; French doors to terrace; frosted glass sash/louvre window; two queen-size bedrooms; bathroom with shower and WC; kitchen/dining w new Hisense fridge; stove/cooktop; fans; lower-level with laundry, two store rooms, WC plus carport with steps to upper level ●

RIVERFRONT HAMPTONS-INSPIRED LIVING BLESSED with a breathtaking position, simply dazzling 180-degree uninterrupted views, embracing the waterfront on a salubrious stretch of the Noosa River, dotted with bobbing boats, pelicans gliding above, and kids building sandcastles on the white-sand beach below, is a stunning apartment. From the entry way, the coastal-cool Hamptons’ inspired aesthetic beguiles, bright morning sun bathes the generous and defined open plan living and dining areas with a sumptuous grey sofa and armchair, timber dining table and chairs, and accessorised with seaside art and mirror. There is a seamless connection to the north-facing wide terrace. Relax and admire the waterways including the Noosa Spit and Noosa North Shore, as well as beyond to the Noosa Hinterland, where sunsets are undeniably spectacular and sundowners are appropriate. Brilliantly renovated, it is an object lesson in proportion while exemplifying the magical location, are wispy grey linen sheers, pale grey porcelain floor tiles, and
VJ-panelled walls in the living as well as the designer kitchen with white stone-topped two-pac cabinetry and breakfast bar. It has all the latest appliances and every necessity needed for any enthusiastic cook wishing to create a feast, or just salads for a barbecue. Delightful fresh bedrooms with louvres and pops of blue echo the overall aesthetic plus have built-in robes. The master has an ensuite and the twin bedroom has an adjoining bathroom. A fully equipped
laundry is nearby. Whether every day’s a holiday or just a fabulous home for the holidays, enjoying casual lunches on the terrace, being a sun devotee or napping on a sun lounge in between eyeing off pleasure craft catching the breeze, this is the good life. “It is a short walk to Quamby Place with its well-known restaurants, and Noosa Village,” enthuses Tom Offermann Real Estate agent Roark Walsh, who has the
property slated for auction on Friday 27 January. “Hastings Street with its boutiques, galleries, cafes, bars and restaurants on Noosa Main Beach, is about 2kms away, so the location is perfect. With a warm amenable climate and a town brimful with natural assets turns holidaymakers to property buyers, and it is not going to stop Investing in properties such as this, which has back-to-back bookings, is much soughtafter and totally secure.” ●

NATURE’S SPLENDOUR, FRONT AND CENTRE NATURE’S splendour is undeniable. Picture tranquil clear Weyba waterways on your doorstep, and the Noosa National Park with abundant bird life and occasional kangaroos at your back gate. And in between, a residential gem of timeless integrity with beautiful gardens filled with bird-attracting natives, befitting the natural character and address of Lake Weyba Drive, which runs parallel to Lake Weyba, and is considered by locals as a well-kept secret. All this and so much more. Opening the front gate into the pretty-as-a-picture all year-round, sun-splashed garden of this privileged address immediately evokes elation. From the wide covered terrace, note how outside coalesces naturally with indoors thanks to multiple French doors in every downstairs room opening to a courtyard or terrace, the latter ultimately wrapping over three sides of the residence. The generous living space with art-adorned walls, custom cabinetry including an integrated console with auto-disappearing smart television has high raked ceilings attracting natural light which bounces across the travertine-toned flooring. Positioned fortuitously with a northerly aspect is the kitchen. It has a dining space with doors out to the western terrace, where capturing the imagination is a storage shed which would easily convert to a summer room with a pond and a stacked rock feature wall covered in brilliant crimson bougainvillea. The terrace joins up with the large frangipani-fringed courtyard off the kitchen, another alfresco entertaining option, breakfast in the sun or just relaxing. In between, the galley-style heart of the home has stone-topped two-pac cream cabinetry with a breakfast bar, glass splashbacks, numerous pantry options and every high-end appliance required by a
wannabe culinary superstar. There are three bedrooms with built-in robes. Of the two downstairs, the larger has doors out to two terraces, one of which is undercover. The bathroom featuring river stones and sandy-hued tiles also opens to
the huge rear lawned garden with mature macadamia and mandarin trees. A big bonus is a back gate opening into a maintained section of the Noosa National Park, where wildlife such as kangaroos frequently visit.
Note the chandelier in the void of the stairs to the master-style bedroom. It has views over the gardens and bushland, plus an ensuite with a cleverly disguised doorway and all the bright features of the main bathroom. ●

HOME FOCUS
BLUE-CHIP OCEANSIDE JEWEL ON SUNSHINE TUCKED away in one of Sunshine Beach’s bluest of blue-chip neighbourhoods is this double storey, rare oceanside jewel, on a leafy 616m2 block, showcasing coral sea views to the north-east from the upper deck - absolutely ripe for a re-imagining through renovation, or remove and build anew your lifestyle masterpiece. This passion project is just literally footsteps to the sand and surf! Across two levels, the home comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms, separate living areas including huge rumpus, lightfilled kitchen, expansive upper deck, covered patio on lower level, laundry/bathroom combo, and double lock up garage. While the home is in need of some love and attention, it is not without its own original character and warmth, with existing features including raked timber lined ceilings and timber floors on upper level, timber staircase, ceiling fans, built-in brick bar in rumpus, ceiling fans, and direct deck access from master bedroom. The gardens are a blend of tropical and
native vegetation, including the coconut palms planted by the first owner - they create a sanctuary-like ambience that enhances privacy, and could also benefit from a green thumb to truly maximise appeal as well as ocean outlook. Direct beach access is just 100 metres away - and its only 550 metres to the surf club and 600 metres to the iconic village dining and shopping hub, as well as walking distance to a dog-friendly stretch of beach where you and your furry family member can make new friends. Noosa National Park with its resplendent natural beauty and variety of walking trails, is also walking distance. Investor owner has held since 2006 and has now made the discerning decision to sell. The Sunshine Beach property market is among the most desirable along the eastern seaboard, and properties with the potential of this one attract masses of attention. You cannot overcapitalise in this prestigious pocket - get creative and reap the lifestyle rewards, along with assured capital gain across all market conditions. l
