Noosa Today - 17th July 2026

Noosa Concours d’Elegance returns to Hastings Street on Saturday 18 July and organisers are encouraging locals to experience the event at a time that best suits them, the individual.

As a free community event, Noosa Concours offers a different atmosphere throughout the day, from the excitement of the morning arrivals to the relaxed afternoon displays and the spectacular departure parade. Event Director Alesha Gooderham said one of the unique aspects of Noosa Concours is that every time of the day offers a different experience.

“Whether you’re captivated by the anticipation of the morning, prefer taking your time to admire the cars in the afternoon, or love the theatre of the departure parade, there really is no wrong time to visit, I would recommend the morning or late afternoon,” Alesha Gooderham said.

Bridge must be built: Council Concours coming

By Margie Maccoll

Noosa Council has determined Doonella Lake Bridge has reached its end of life and despite the impact to Noosa’s road network which was voiced loudly by the community, building a new bridge now is a project that can’t be delayed, but council says it is open to continual monitoring, discussion and finding ways to ease the pain where possible.

“We’re at the point that if one of the pylons fails it will become inoperable, we’d have to close it. We just can’t take that risk any more,” Noosa Council CEO Larry Sengstock told Noosa

Today on Monday.

“Unfortunately it’s a project that we have to do, It’s a project that requires quite a bit of time and effort and cost to do it and if we don’t do it now then we’re in for a much bigger pain later on,” he said.

The construction project began on Monday 6 July to replace the bridge built in 1969, with council initiating a one-lane open, one-way plan allowing traffic across the bridge from Tewantin to Noosaville and diverting traffic travelling from Noosaville to Tewantin via Noosa Eumundi and Beckman’s roads.

Experience Noosa Concours your way

From page 1

Early arrivals will witness Hastings Street transform as more than 60 remarkable vehicles arrive and take their place before the event officially opens at 10.30am. Many people are in Hastings Street from 8am building the morning buzz, which creates an exciting atmosphere that sets the tone for the day and the crowds certainly build until 11.30am.

For those looking for a quieter experience, organisers recommend arriving after midday.

As the morning crowds begin to disperse, visitors have more space to explore the Concours Collection, the Supercar Circle in Noosa Woods and the Brabham 60th Anniversary Collection at their own pace. It’s also the ideal time to chat with the event’s knowledgeable volunteer stewards, whose passion and expertise bring each vehicle’s story to life.

The afternoon also offers exceptional photography opportunities, with softer light and fewer crowds creating the perfect conditions to capture some of Australia’s most significant collector vehicles.

As the day draws to a close, anticipation builds once again as engines fire into life for one of Noosa Concours’ signature moments, the departure parade. Watching these rare and iconic vehicles leave Hastings Street is a spectacular finale that has become a favourite tradition for many visitors. “Every hour of Noosa Concours offers something different,” said Alesha.

“At the end of the day, whether you’re a passionate motoring enthusiast, a family enjoying a day out or simply someone who appreciates beautiful design, we’re all part of one community coming together to enjoy the sights, sounds and emotion these remarkable vehicles create. That’s what makes Noosa Concours so special”. Noosa Concours d’Elegance will be held on Saturday 18 July, across Hastings Street from 42 Hastings Street (by Rococo Noosa) to Noosa Woods. Entry is free, with visitors encouraged to make a day of it by exploring one of Australia’s most elegant automotive celebrations.

Lifeguards rescue seabird

By Steve Linnell

A Giant Petrel has been rescued from Noosa Main Beach after surf lifeguards spotted the distressed seabird sitting on the sand and alerted Wildlife Noosa.

Wildlife Noosa’s secretary Julie told Noosa Today the organisation treated the rescue with extra caution because of the possibility the bird could be infected with the H5 avian influenza virus.

“Due to the possibility the bird may be infected with the H5 avian influenza virus, Wildlife Noosa immediately contacted the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline and Noosa Council before responding,” she said.

She praised the actions of the Noosa Heads Surf Lifeguards, who kept beachgoers well away from the bird until trained wildlife rescuers arrived.

“The Noosa Heads Surf Lifeguards did an outstanding job keeping members of the public at a safe distance from the bird until Wildlife Noosa rescuer Will arrived,” she said.

“Wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE), Will safely contained the Giant Petrel before it was transported for testing and placed into quarantine at Twinnies while awaiting the test results.”

She said the incident highlighted the importance of the public avoiding direct contact with sick or injured wild birds.

“If you encounter a sick bird unable to fly, please keep a safe distance and do not attempt to handle it yourself,” she said.

“Instead, contact Wildlife Noosa on 0419 046 999 or the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888 so trained rescuers can respond safely and ensure the animal receives

the appropriate care.”

She said Wildlife Noosa was grateful for the support of the surf lifeguards, whose swift response helped ensure the rescue was completed safely.

“Wildlife Noosa extends its sincere thanks to the Noosa Heads Surf Lifeguards for their

professionalism and support,” Ms Bengtsson said.

“Their quick actions helped protect both the bird and the community while ensuring the rescue was carried out safely.”

The Petrel remains in quarantine while test results are awaited.

Noosa veteran celebrates 100 years

By Steve Linnell

A century of resilience, hard work and lifelong curiosity will be celebrated this month as Tewantin resident John “Jack” Walter marks his 100th birthday surrounded by family from across Australia and overseas.

Jack, who has called Noosa Banks Estate home for the past 15 years, has lived a life spanning the Great Depression, the Second World War, successful business ventures and a passion for gardening and local history.

Born in Natimuk, Victoria, on 10 July 1926, Jack was just 16 when he joined the Air Training Corps, the forerunner of today’s Australian Air Force Cadets.

In January 1945, with the Second World War nearing its end, he enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force. His commanding officer described him as “one of the best” in his squadron.

Initially training for aircrew duties, Jack was later re-mustered as a motor transport driver as the war drew to a close. His service took him to Morotai in present-day Indonesia, Labuan Island off Borneo, and eventually Japan with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force. Serving with No. 82 Fighter Squadron and later No. 481 Maintenance Squadron, Jack spent a year in post-war Japan, where witnessing the de-

struction left by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima profoundly shaped his outlook on life.

Jack was discharged in June 1947 with the rank of Leading Aircraftman.

Returning to civilian life, he built a successful career in sales with several well-known Australian companies, including Cottee’s, Tongala Milk Products, White Wings, Cobbitty Farm Bakeries and Windsor Poultry Service.

Jack married Elaine in 1950, and together they raised three children.

In 1991, while in their mid-60s, they established Sunrise Cyclamens at Sunrise Hills near Noosa, determined to stay physically and mentally active in retirement. After selling that business in 2003, they launched another successful venture a bromeliad plant nursery at Cootharaba, operating the nursery until 2011.

Still embracing new challenges in their mid80s, Jack and Elaine purchased land at Noosa Banks Estate in Tewantin and built the home where they continue to live today.

Away from business, Jack has been a prolific author, documenting the early history of Victoria’s Wimmera district. He also penned a book for his family titled: “Things I Wish I Knew When I Was 21”, passing on the wisdom gained over a remarkable lifetime.

A keen gardener and history enthusiast, Jack

credits his longevity to the resilience developed during the hardships of the Great Depression and the experiences of wartime service, along with maintaining a positive attitude towards his health and family.

Family members from around Australia and overseas will gather on 25 July for a celebratory lunch honouring Jack’s extraordinary milestone and a life defined by service, enterprise and an enduring optimism.

Video sought

Police are appealing for dashcam and CCTV footage as they investigate a serious three-vehicle crash at Noosaville that left a Tewantin woman fighting for life.

Emergency services were called to Beckmans Road about 3.20pm on Wednesday 8 July following the multi-vehicle collision.

According to police, initial investigations indicate a grey Nissan Pathfinder travelling east collided with the rear of a white Toyota Yaris before veering into the opposing lane and crashing headon with a black Suzuki Alto.

The driver of the Suzuki, a 48-year-old Tewantin woman, suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to Princess Alexandra Hospital, where she

remains in a critical but stable condition.

The driver of the Nissan Pathfinder, a 44-yearold Black Mountain woman, and the driver of the Toyota Yaris, a 74-year-old Cooroy woman, sustained minor injuries.

The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding the collision.

Police are urging anyone who witnessed the vehicles before the crash, saw the collision, or has relevant CCTV or dashcam footage to contact investigators.

Information can be provided to Policelink online at www.police.qld.gov.au/reporting or by calling 131 444. Anonymous reports can also be made through Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online

Boy burnt in campfire

The Sunshine Coast-based LifeFlight aeromedical crew yesterday airlifted a boy to hospital on Saturday he fell into a campfire.

The LifeFlight helicopter was tasked at 2.25pm by Retrieval Services Queensland and landed at a campground near Imbil in the Gympie region bringing a specialist medical team directly to the patient.

The critical care LifeFlight doctor and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) flight paramedic worked with local QAS paramedics to treat the boy for burns to the hands and back.

He was airlifted to Queensland Children’s Hospital in a stable condition for further treatment.

Bridge must be built: Council says on Doonella Lake replacement

From page 1

Less than a week later, and before they were able to monitor its impact, council abandoned its one-way traffic initiative, bending to an overwhelming community and business outpouring on the impact of the initiative on traffic congestion and local trade, particularly in Tewantin.

On Saturday 11 July council switched to a twoway bridge crossing using a traffic lights system which Mr Sengstock said allowed everybody to have a choice of travelling across the Doonella Lake Bridge or diverting via Beckman’s Road.

“Our network is unfortunately not able to cope with any sort of real issue like this. You’ve got to advise people while the bridge is the main piece it’s the whole network that gets affected by any change and we’re hoping people will be able to adjust their activities to cope with it.

“We’re sorry, but it’s a project that needs to be done and I think people accept that,” he said.

Mr Sengstock said council held initial discussions with the Tewantin Traders Association because they were the most obviously impacted group but after seeing its impact on the whole network on Monday met with broader associations.

“It’s not just the businesses, it’s people trying to get around to deliver things. We’re really looking at it right across the network,” he said.

Mr Sengstock said council would be having regular concierge-type meetings with the businesses to consider their problems and issues and what ideas they might have that council could help them with, while they continued completing the bridge build.

Mondays meeting followed a heated meeting between council and business owners last Friday evening, numerous social media posts and engagement by business associations.

Matt Sinclair, co-owner of Sum Yung Guys restaurant, posted on the meeting, saying about 60 to 70 business owners attended the Friday meeting, along with representatives from the Noosa Business Association.

He said emotions ran high as business owners expressed fears the impact the bridge works could have over the coming months.

“There were a lot of tears, a lot of aggression, a lot of frustration. People were generally scared about their businesses. We’re talking small businesses, family-owned businesses that have been a huge part of what keeps Tewantin buzzing.”

Mr Sinclair said council acknowledged short-

comings in how the project had been communicated.

“They said we have totally mismanaged the communication on this project and we apologise – but here we are.”

A Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry spokesperson said their representatives were in discussions with Noosa Council to ensure business and community impacts were clearly understood and that practical outcomes were considered as the project progresses.

A spokesperson said while the Chamber recognises the importance of essential infrastructure works, the current traffic arrangements are having a serious impact on local businesses, residents, staff, customers and the broader community.

“Businesses across Tewantin, Noosaville and surrounding areas are reporting reduced trade, cancelled bookings, staff delays, delivery disrup-

tions and customers avoiding affected areas due to extended traffic delays,” the spokesperson said.

The Chamber is also gathering further information and data to better understand the full impact of the project, not only on local businesses, but also on broader community access.

“This includes impacts on Noosa Hospital, medical services, schools, staff movement, customers, residents and essential daily travel across the region,” the Chamber spokesperson said.

“The Chamber’s priority is to ensure the business community has a clear seat at the table as decisions are made about how Noosa moves forward during this disruption.

“We understand the need for infrastructure upgrades, but the economic and community impacts must be properly recognised, measured and managed.

“Our role is to listen to members, gather evidence, work constructively with Council and advocate for outcomes that support both business continuity and community access.”

The Chamber encourages affected businesses to document specific impacts, including lost trade, cancelled appointments or bookings, staff delays, delivery issues and additional costs and will provide further updates to members and the wider community as more information becomes available.

Noosaville Business Association has launched an online survey on its website for business owners to have their say on the Doonella Lake Bridge traffic flow.

“The bridge affects every customer who can’t reach you. Make sure Council hears local business first. Traffic chaos is hitting hard. Help us push for solutions that work for Noosaville/Tewantin businesses,” a spokesperson said.

“Your voice could save hours of lost trade – take 30 seconds to tell Council what businesses and customers really need.”

Mr Sengstock said council had considered a variety of options to mitigate impact early in planning, including the use of a temporary bridge which was deemed impossible due to too narrow landings, and were looking at other opportunities including the use of ferries.

“When we monitor it we’ll understand who’s really impacted, whether it’s workers coming here, or visitors or both or residents and we’ll work out a system to help as well,” he said.

Mr Sengstock said the current arrangement would be reviewed as required to assist traffic flow and ensure community safety and project delivery objectives were maintained.

Council advised the new traffic arrangement would result in disruption to some Translink bus services.

They urged passengers to check Translink service updates and plan their travel accordingly and encouraged motorists to allow extra travel time and consider whether journeys can be undertaken outside peak periods.

Mr Sengstock said now the bridge work was underway they planned for it to be completed by December but were looking at things to do such as increasing night works to have it done before that.

“The shorter the time the better but we also need to make sure we do it within the safety risks,” he said.

No more paid car parks

By Margie Maccoll

The Noosa Heads Lions Park will remain a park these Christmas holiday and not be transformed into an overflow paid car park as it has in previous years after the majority of councillors voted in favour of staff recommendations at its general meeting last week.

The Lions Park was one of a suite of items contained in council’s Go Noosa report on the program that aims to reduce reliance on private vehicles while encouraging active and sustainable transport options, manage congestion, improve safety and enhance the local transport experience.

A key part of report was on the use of Noosa Heads Lions park for overflow parking with the report recommending the arrangement not be continued on the basis it contributed to congestion and was contrary to the use of the land as a park.

Staff said traffic consultants showed it was queuing on Noosa Parade to enter the Lions park carpark that caused the most significant congestion at Noosa Heads and also that the majority of car park users were there long term and could ideally park outside the area and bus in.

The report suggested staff put more effort into increasing the use of under utilised satellite parks in other parts of shire and free up congestion at Noosa Heads.

Councillors raised concerns over the loss of paid parking at Noosa Heads Lions Park including the loss of paid car parking funds going to the Noosa Lions Club, the pressure its removal would put on Hastings Street businesses and the lack of a viable alternative for car parking.

Cr Amelia Lorentson said the community needed a balanced choice and ending the parking

arrangement outright was not a balanced choice.

She said discontinuing it would hurt residents, kids and small businesses that employ them and keep the town running and she asked council to consider the park continue to be used for overflow parking for three weeks a year during the Christmas holiday period.

Cr Lorentson said local businesses were genuinely struggling and those in Hastings Street would also have to deal with other happenings in the shire including the Lake Doonella Bridge rebuild and future development of the Noosa Heads surf club and Main Beach seawall.

She said the argument was raised every year and feedback was always divided on the use of the Lions Park for paid car parking, but what would solve the issue would be a viable alternative, which was yet to be developed.

Computer scam warning

Noosa residents, particularly older members of the community, are being urged to remain vigilant after a string of sophisticated phone scams across the Sunshine Coast left elderly victims out of pocket by tens of thousands of dollars.

Sunshine Coast police have issued the warning following several recent reports of scammers targeting older residents by pretending to be computer technicians or bank employees.

In one common scam, fraudsters tell victims their computer has been infected with a virus before convincing them to install remote access software. Once connected, the scammers gain control of the victim’s computer, access online banking and transfer large sums of money from their accounts.

Police have also received reports of offenders posing as bank staff, falsely claiming suspicious activity has been detected on a customer’s account. Victims are then persuaded to transfer their savings into a supposedly “safe” account, which is actually controlled by the scammers.

Police say the scams have resulted in victims losing substantial amounts of money and are urging Noosa residents to be cautious of unsolicited phone calls requesting personal or financial information.

Residents are advised to question anyone who contacts them unexpectedly, particularly if they

claim to represent a bank or technology company. If the caller becomes evasive or pressures them to act immediately, police say they should hang up.

Police also remind people never to disclose banking passwords or PINs, never to allow remote access to computers or mobile devices, and never to transfer money at the request of someone who has contacted them unexpectedly.

Anyone who believes they have transferred money to a scammer should immediately contact their financial institution and report the incident to the Australian Cyber Security Centre through ReportCyber.

People who receive a scam call but do not lose money are encouraged to report the incident to Scamwatch to help authorities track emerging scams.

Police are also urging family members, friends and neighbours to check in with older relatives and discuss common scam tactics, as awareness remains one of the best defences against increasingly sophisticated fraud.

Anyone with information about suspected scam activity can contact Policelink through the Queensland Police Service online reporting portal or provide information anonymously to Crime Stoppers. Call 1800 333 000 or report online at www.crimestoppersqld.com.au

Mayor Frank Wilkie said council made the decision to discontinue parking in Lions car park on long weekends and some school holidays when Covid ended and in the face of many objections the results have been positive.

“Despite warnings it would kill prosperity and no one would visit, removing car parking in Lions Park did not reduce numbers of people visiting but reduced congestion at couple of roundabouts, returned green space to families, with more getting there by alternate means,” he said.

“Transport modelling demonstrates Lions car park does not solve congestion it adds to congestion and was not needed as car parking to enable record numbers of people accessing Main Beach.

Cr Wilkie said for many years the use of car parking delivered funds for Tewantin Noosa Lions Club, and while the club must be recognised

for the good work they do, council’s report proposes fairer and more transparent approach where charitable and community organisations can participate through procurement and Expression of Interest processes for funds.

Initiatives included in council’s Go Noosa program include the sustainable transport levy, free holiday bus, temporary park and ride locations, Main Beach Drop-Off Zone, behaviour change initiatives, community transport services as well as the overflow paid parking at Lions Park.

The staff report found key wins of the program included increasing patronage on the 065 go free bus, particularly by residents and an increase in people using public transport instead on cars.

A survey conducted during the Easter holidays found parking demand remained the most significant issue raised.

Staff said the survey showed there was strong support for free buses, park and ride free services, council making decisions in best interest of community, such as pedestrian priority areas as well as ongoing concerns about road maintenance and congestion and the need for investment in infrastructure.

A final decision on paid car parking at Noosa Heads Lions Park will be made at council’s ordinary meeting.

Science must lead shark safety decisions: Bolton

By Steve Linnell

Noosa MP Sandy Bolton has welcomed a new $2.4 million Queensland Government research project into shark populations but says the State must urgently deliver its long-promised framework to assess alternatives to shark nets.

Ms Bolton said while improving scientific knowledge of shark behaviour and populations was an important step towards making Queensland’s beaches safer, the Government had yet to release the promised Shark Mitigation Alternatives Assessment Framework more than a year after announcing a new Shark Control Program.

“While research to improve our understanding of shark populations is essential for greater safety in our waters, it is disappointing that more than a year after the new Shark Control Program was announced, the promised Shark Mitigation Alternatives Assessment Framework is yet to be released,” Ms Bolton said.

“This framework is vital to progressing evidence-based alternatives that are proven to protect swimmers and reduce interactions with sharks, particularly as growing evidence suggests shark nets are not as effective as once believed.”

The State Government announced the world-first $2.4 million research project as part of what it describes as the largest investment in Queensland’s Shark Control Program.

The project, now underway, will examine the biology, genetics and population structure of key shark species, including bull sharks and tiger sharks, with researchers also assessing how

the Shark Control Program has influenced shark populations since it began in 1962.

The first stage of the project, due to be completed by February 2027, will analyse DNA from breeding populations and investigate how shark

populations respond to fishing pressure.

A second stage, expected to conclude in 2028, will focus on bull sharks and pigeye sharks using acoustic tracking, tagging and stable isotope analysis to better understand movements, breed-

Whale watching season hits full stride

Noosa’s annual whale watching season is in full swing, with thousands of humpback whales expected to pass the region over the coming months and new experiences giving locals and visitors even more opportunities to witness the spectacular migration.

Up to 40,000 humpback whales are expected to travel along the Queensland coast during their annual journey from the icy waters of Antarctica to the warmer breeding grounds of Tropical North Queensland.

The migration, which runs north between June and August before returning south with newborn calves from mid-August to November, has become one of the Sunshine Coast’s signature winter attractions, drawing thousands of visitors and delivering a welcome boost to tourism operators across Noosa and the wider region.

This season, Noosa Ocean Adventures has expanded its fleet with the addition of the new commercial vessel Noosa Flyer and two experienced skippers, while a new Sunshine Coast operator, Whales Sunshine Coast, has launched tours from Kawana Waters aboard The Explorer, Australia’s largest jet-powered whale watching vessel.

Visit Sunshine Coast chief executive Matt Stoeckel said whale season remained one of the

region’s most remarkable natural spectacles.

“Every winter we’re treated to one of nature’s greatest migrations right on our doorstep, and it never gets old,” Mr Stoeckel said.

“With another whale watching experience available this year, visitors have even more opportunities to get out on the water and experience these incredible animals, while supporting local tourism businesses during the winter months.”

Whales Sunshine Coast captain Allan “Shorty” Short believes this year’s migration could be one of the best yet.

“It’s going to be phenomenal,” he said.

“It will be, without a doubt, the best whale season we’ve had in history because of the numbers.

“It’s the largest animal migration on earth. I started whale watching in 1992, there were about 4,000 in the population. That increases by about 11 per cent per year.”

Designed specifically for whale watching, The Explorer offers faster access to whale activity and more time on the water. Its jet propulsion system eliminates exposed propellers, while stadium-style seating provides passengers with uninterrupted ocean views.

“It’s the biggest, fastest commercial jet boat in Australia. We’ve got stadium seating so every seat

gets a view of the ocean,” Shorty said. Noosa visitors have no shortage of options to experience the migration, with whale watching tours departing from Noosa as well as Mooloolaba.

Local operators include Noosa Ocean Adventures, Noosa Oceanrider, Noosa Wave Boating Adventures and Epic Ocean Adventures, while visitors can also choose from dedicated whale cruises, ocean kayaking adventures and guided humpback whale swimming experiences elsewhere across the Sunshine Coast.

Visit Sunshine Coast, the region’s official tourism organisation representing Noosa, Sunshine

ing patterns and population structure.

Primary Industries Minister Tony Perrett said the project would provide the most comprehensive understanding of Queensland’s key shark species ever undertaken.

“This is the first study of its kind for shark management in Queensland, and it will give us the most complete picture of these species we’ve ever had,” he said.

“I have said time and time again, the best science must inform our actions when it comes to fisheries.

“Under the State Government, we’re backing world-leading scientists to understand how sharks behave and how our management measures are affecting them.

“Importantly, this research contributes to our government’s strong view that swimmer safety must take priority over all other factors.”

For Noosa, where shark management has long generated debate because of the region’s iconic beaches and strong environmental values, Ms Bolton said research must be matched with action.

She said the delayed Shark Mitigation Alternatives Assessment Framework was critical to ensuring future decisions on swimmer safety were based on evidence and considered emerging technologies and proven non-lethal measures alongside traditional shark control methods.

The research forms part of the Queensland Government’s Shark Management Plan 20252029 and is expected to help shape future shark management decisions across the state’s coastline.

Crackdown on e-bikes

More than 100 dangerous and illegal e-bikes and e-scooters have been seized under the state government’s tough new e-mobility laws, with offenders warned the crackdown is only just beginning.

A total of 103 illegal e-mobility devices have been seized by police and 420 traffic infringement notices have been issued to riders across Queensland under the new laws introduced on 1 July.

The laws target dangerous riding behaviour, illegal high-powered devices, speeding, drink riding, helmet offences and other unlawful conduct, and give police the ability to seize and destroy illegal devices, conduct random breath testing of riders in public places and issue tougher penalties for dangerous offences.

Minister for Police and Emergency Services Dan Purdie said there was no excuse for riders who ignored the law.

“The free ride is over - if you’re riding an illegal e-bike or e-scooter, putting pedestrians at risk or treating public spaces like your own racetrack, expect to be caught,” Minister Purdie said.

Minister for Transport and Main Roads Brent Mickelberg said the reforms struck the right balance between supporting responsible riders and targeting dangerous behaviour.

“The Crisafulli Government’s reforms are practical, enforceable, and get the balance right between keeping Queenslanders safe from those doing the wrong thing, while backing those who do the right thing,” he said.

“We said we would make the tough decisions to deliver our nation leading e-mobility laws, and the early evidence shows those decisions are already starting to pay off.

Queensland Police Assistant Commissioner

Rhys Wildman said that the results highlighted the importance of the operation’s strong presence across the State.

“Operation Surety is about detecting, intercepting and deterring dangerous riding behaviours, and making it clear to Queenslanders that unsafe behaviour will not be tolerated,” he said.

“It is disappointing to see more than 400 riders charged for reckless behaviours in just under two weeks; however, this reinforces how important it is that our officers are out every day disrupting these dangerous behaviours and ensuring riders understand their responsibility while making our roads and public spaces safe.”

Garden show delights

By Margie Maccoll

More than 20,000 visitors wandered across the Queensland Garden Show last weekend to learn more about gardening from the experts, view displays, find the latest in gardening equipment or buy from the 60,000 plants available from specialist nurseries.

Nambour Showgrounds was a hive of activity with more than 360 exhibitors and Australia’s biggest gardening speaker program delivering more than 90 presentations and demonstrations across five stages.

Some of Australia’s most popular gardening experts including Graham Ross AM, Sophie Thomson, Jerry Coleby-Williams, Phil Dudman and Kate Wall were in attendance alongside celebrity chefs, newcomers and growers.

In one demonstration Noosa chef Matt Golinski joined Roslyn McCarthy, producing a three course meal showcasing the cumquats she grows in his delicious dishes, happily enjoyed by the audience. As he cooked, their discussion touched on the challenges faced by growers including financial return, available markets and the need to diversify.

Roslyn said to make a living on her 300-acre property her family could not rely on cattle and had diversified into products including cumquats and ginger and planned to move into agri-tourism with the addition of a farm shop.

Celebrity gardens Ross Wilson, having spent more than 50 years working in horticulture as a teacher in the largest horticulture college in the world and a television and radio presenter, spoke about his love of gardening and how he had built a family enterprise and life around it.

Along his journey Ross delivered 2300 episodes of Better Homes and Gardens, won several prestigious accolades and established an enterprise taking people on gardening tours across countries including England, Japan, South America and China.

The 79-year-old said working seven days a week along with a good genetic makeup had given him a sharp mind and memory so good

a neurologist contacted him in 2024 to find out why.

“It turns out I’ve been working seven days a week since I was 11, and he said that helps,” Ross said. “You’re using your brain. Most peo-

ple use about 40-50 per cent, you’re using 7080 per cent,” the doctor told him. Ross attributed gardening to his active brain.

Speaking to a full audience Ross told how he fell into the media game after retiring from teaching and being told by his accountant he needed an income.

He was asked to write an article for a magazine called Good Gardening. After three copies were produce he was asked to find publicity for them.

Listening to his favourite radio program one day he decided to front up to the radio station with an aim to speak on the program of his favourite presenter Mickie de Stoop.

In 1980 accessing the station was an easier proposition than today and after finding his way inside he ended up leaping from her show to his own. “And that’s how it all started,” he said.

Some time later Ross and his wife and co-worker Sandra began gardening tours after advice from television present Bernard King, the life of a presenter was short-lived.

“800 tours later the tour company is a monster. We now have 15 staff, have three tours overseas at the moment. Sandra escorted likely more tours than anyone,” Ross said.

Ross said the long held working arrangement with Sandra was a result of the respect they held for each other.

“It’s been fun. It’s been amazing. We’ve been married 54 years this year,” he said.

Chief Executive Officer of Greenlife Industry QLD Colin Fruk said what makes the Queensland Garden Show so special is that it’s not just for passionate gardeners. Whether you’re taking your first steps into gardening, looking for inspiration around the home, wanting a fun family day out during the school holidays or simply enjoying the atmosphere, there really is something for everyone.

“And the inspiration extends well beyond the speaker stages, with a host of free hands-on workshops giving visitors the chance to pick up new skills and get creative,” Mr Fruk said.

Diverted traffic intolerable

The diverted traffic onto Eumundi Road from the Tewantin Bridge renovation is intolerable. We cannot be expected to put up with the traffic being backed up from Beckmans Road to Goodchap Street for the next six months. It will get even worse when tourists arrive for the Sept/ Oct school holidays, Triathlon and the December peak holiday season.

The current situation is a dangerous free-forall at each roundabout on Eumundi Rd and it’s only going to get worse.

Council hasn’t thought out the impact of this project on residents and businesses. There needs to be a helpful traffic management plan implemented as soon as possible, even if it involves temporary traffic lights. The traffic chaos far more than residents of Noosa Shire should be subjected to. Do something NOW!

Grandmotherly Advice

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to sit at a kitchen table with a grandmother you’ll know they dispense advice the way Italian nonnas dispense pasta: generously, confidently, and with absolutely no regard for whether you’re full already.

You’ll be minding your own business when Nan casually drops a life lesson that rearranges your entire worldview. It’s never dramatic. It’s

never prefaced with “Now listen carefully.” It simply arrives—like a seagull after your chip — uninvited but undeniably effective.

Grandmothers have a particular genius for truth telling. They don’t sugar coat. They don’t hedge. They don’t “circle back” . They simply say the thing, often while buttering a scone, and somehow it lands with the weight of ancient wisdom.

My own favourite came from a friend’s gran who once told her teenage grandson, “Sweet-

When Lesley Downie returned home after a three week absence she discovered a pair of seagulls had built their nest at the end of her jetty, tucked behind a plant pot away from the strong southerly wind, and despite ones injury, remained dedicated to their duty.

While the female sat on her nest, nearby hovered her ‘husband’ , rotating the nest-sitting task when necessary, Lesley said.

“On closer inspection I found he had a double hooked fishing lure solidly embedded in his hob-

bling foot. He can still fly ok, and sit on the nest, but is struggling just standing,” she said.

“During a brief break in their sitting duties, I was able to sneak in to catch a glimpse of a clutch of 3 eggs…such parental determination.”

On love, they’re ruthlessly practical, A mate’s once said. “Choose someone who makes you laugh - looks fade - humour doesn’t unless she’s dull, in which case run.” On money, they’re even sharper: “If you can’t afford two, you can’t afford one.” This is usually said while slipping you a $20 note “for emergencies” , which you both know means coffee.

Yes, A grandmother’s advice is usually delivered as a love letter addressed with a zinger punchline.

And if you’re very lucky, you’ll hear it while sitting at a kitchen table, sipping tea that’s far too strong, and feeling—just for a moment—that someone in the world knows exactly what you need to hear.

Fractured country

I fear for my poor country

Where nature weeps as coal waste seeps to rivers and the sea, To blanket reefs And cause more grief

On agricultural plains.

The old growth trees and forests Are bulldozed to the ground and animals and small orchids are nowhere to be found.

The sun bleached reefs, the algal blooms Are there for all to see; the floods, the fires, the rains And droughts are here for eternity.

Regional architect inspires

By Erle Levey

The design of buildings inspires as well as enriches life in and around what has been created.

The winners of the Australian Institute of Architects’ 2026 Queensland Architecture Awards have been announced, with projects from urban and regional communities recognised for their ambition, public generosity and response to place.

Jury chair professor Michael Keniger said that the winners comprised a number of adventurous and ambitious commercial and community buildings that have contributed to the revitalisation of Brisbane’s CBD by offering a high degree of public generosity.

One such project was 205 North Quay by Hassell, REX and Richards and Spence, a commercial tower in Brisbane that received the prestigious Queensland Architecture Medallion, the Beatrice Hutton Award for Commercial Architecture, and the Art and Architecture Prize.

Keniger added that, in the residential categories, the jury observed architects challenging conventional ideas of the traditional Queenslander and embarking on ambitious new typologies.

He noted that some of the most adventurous houses were located in regional areas, where they attracted “significant attention” for the quality of their construction.

Regional Project of the Year was the Hinterland Adventure Playground Cooroy by Robinson Architects and Form Landscape Architects.

Also commended for Small Project Architecture and winner of The Hayes and Scott Award, the project has seen timber and steel shade structures and play elements reference the industrial character of the surrounding Mill Place precinct, anchored by a Rocketship built from repurposed council infrastructure.

Among the awards for Heritage Architecture was the Warwick Police Facilities Upgrade by Phillips Smith Conwell Architects

The built design of the Queensland heritage listed c.1900 Warwick Police Station illustrates that a substantial increase in accommodation across existing and new buildings over the site can be provided, which reflects the requirements of modern-day policing, integrates operations across buildings of various periods, improves the place’s amenity for staff, public access and street .

Among the Public Architecture Awards was Rockhampton Garden and Zoo Visitor Hub by Cox Architecture with Design and Architecture.

Commendations included Beaudesert Courthouse by Phillips Smith Conwell Architects, and Bundaberg Aquatic Centre by Arch (Suters Arch)

Located within the Bundaberg Health Park, the $89 million aquatic centre features a 50-metre, 10-lane competition pool, two 25-metre indoor pools, and climate-responsive architecture.

Residential Architecture – Houses (New) saw a commendation to the Airlie Beach House by Glyde Bautovich Architecture and Urban Design.

In Educational Architecture, The Jennifer Taylor Award went to Suncoast Christian College Primary Precinct at Woombye, by M3 Architecture.

The Primary Precinct is a three-storey, openplan learning facility that replaces traditional classrooms with flexible, interconnected spaces designed to facilitate team-teaching, learner agency, and inclusion.

The design elements highlight a strong connection to the local region and its agricultural heritage.

The Robin Gibson Award for Enduring Architecture went to the Sunshine Coast University Library by Lawrence Nield and Partners Australia with John Mainwaring and Associates.

Initially a recipient of the RAIA 1997 Sir Zelman Cowen Award, the library is the centrepiece of the university campus and has endured the changes in learning over three decades.

Instead of predominantly shelves of books it is now a hub for discussion of ideas, both within the building and through technology.

A tribute to Australian woolsheds as well as paying tribute to early indigenous shelter, this is a piece of architecture with an idea, an identity and an intellectual content which reflect both the relaxed open-air character of Brisbane’s North Coast and the aspirations of a new centre of learning and research.

It is a sophisticated building at many levels, and is strong enough to not just conform with the masterplan but to redirect and redefine its intentions.

In the masterplan, the library was to be a monumental blockage to the axial avenue. But the architects argued, with scale models, for a reevaluation of this idea.

Although the site was fixed, they felt it preferable to allow the avenue to flow ‘through’ the library – along a great open verandah.

Of great importance was the idea that the library should project itself outwards, making connections with the university and the new community which is progressively encroaching on this site from the horizon.

While many libraries present themselves as fortified and internalised boxes, this building reveals itself and its contents to the surrounding world through a variety of peeled-away edges which invite occupation and curiosity.

From the great slatted entry porch, with its long “university seat” providing views out to the surrounding landscape, to the skilfully shaded transparent external walls and the many undercrofts and reading nooks, the building insists upon active connection with life around it.

It is remarkable how much life there is around the edges of this building, and how many people are attracted to its terraces, half-landings and undercrofts as places to meet and chat and, to the surprise of even the architects, use as venues for cultural and social events not necessarily connected with the library.

This is the mark of a true public building: to foster a public life within its own orbit.

REGIONAL PROJECT OF THE YEAR

The Hinterland Adventure Playground completes a new civic precinct for Cooroy, translating regional ecological and cultural narratives into a choreographed landscape of play.

In collaboration, Robinson Architects were responsible for the architecture, Form Landscape Architects the play elements.

The project integrates low-scale, materially expressive structures that stitch together the Lower Mill precinct and Cooroy Library.

A series of parabolic timber and steel forms create a unified architectural language, balancing industrial references to Mill Place with the tactility of timber and off-form concrete. The composition maintains visual permeability, embedding amenities, shade structures within the terrain.

A locally fabricated Rocketship - designed and constructed from old discarded Council infrastructure anchors the site as a playful landmark.

Delivered within a regional budget, careful material choice, prefabrication and robust detailing sustain heavy public use. The Playground is Cooroy’s civic heartland where architecture,

landscape and community converge to create a unique and harmonious sense of place.

EDUCATIONAL ARCHITECTURE

The Jennifer Taylor Award for Educational Architecture went to Suncoast Christian College Primary Precinct by M3 Architecture

The three-storey, open-plan learning facility replaces traditional classrooms with flexible, interconnected spaces designed to facilitate teamteaching, learner agency, and inclusion.

The design elements highlight a strong connection to the local region and its educational philosophy.

The building’s long glasshouse-like form and steel mesh wrapping pay homage to the site’s history as a former pineapple farm.

Seasonal Theming: The facility is divided into zones reflecting the four seasons (summer, autumn, winter, spring), with materials and acoustics tailored to match each stage.

Each learning stage supports 150 students across a rich variety of spaces - bleachers, maker spaces, kitchens, lounges, and studios - tailored for individual, group, and whole-stage learning.

Space Transition: Spaces transition intentionally from lively, active ground-level play areas to calm, productive learning zones on the upper levels.

The facility is an award-winning project, having taken home the Gabriel Poole Award for Building of the Year at the 2026 Sunshine Coast Regional Architecture Awards and being named a joint category winner at the 2024 Learning Environments Queensland Chapter Awards.

This project is the result of a deep consultation with Suncoast Christian College about their unique culture of learning to create a building that reflects this vibrant community.

Woolworths’ new look in Tewantin

Woolworths has relaunched its Tewantin store today, with an expanded fresh food experience, convenient shopping options and value at the heart of its offering. The new look store now offers a large range of Australian fruit and vegetables, with additional grocery products to choose from including a selection of plant-based protein and a dedicated range of gluten-free goods.

The upgraded store, located in the Poinciana Place Shopping Centre, also offers artisan style breads, 100% Australian beef from Aussie farmers and an array of fresh, local seafood from the deli department.

Tewantin Store Manager, Bryonie Jupp, who started her career at Woolworths 19 years ago, can’t wait to show off the new look to Tewantin locals.

“We were excited to see the renovations wrap up and there have been lots of changes to help our customers get the most out of the shop, whether it’s finding a larger range of groceries across the store or the improvements made to all our fresh food departments” , Bryonie said.

“This refurbishment has been a number of years in the making and it’s been great to be part of the supermarket’s transformation. The new

look store will significantly benefit our team members, customers and the local community”

“Another great part of this renewal process has been growing our team, with 15 new members joining in the past few months, bringing the total number of team members to over 90” , Byronie said.

The new look store also offers a new “Dinner Made Easy” section, offering a variety of readyto-go meals that includes everything from fresh pizzas and pastas to salads, soups and BBQ favorites.

Shoppers can now also enjoy an upgraded Direct to Boot service, which features five new underground car park bays. After placing an online order, customers can simply pull into a bay for a quick, convenient grocery pickup.

Woolworths Tewantin is also proud to support the community by providing food donations to Ozharvest and Noosa Church’s The Hub.

Opening hours for the Tewantin Woolworths are:

open 7am - 9pm, Monday to Saturday and 9am to 6pm Sunday.

The store is located at Poinciana Place Shopping Centre, 94 Poinciana Ave Tewantin.

Peregian surf club open day

On Sunday 19 July from 9-11am, Peregian catchment residents will have an opportunity to find out more about joining their local Nipper Program or becoming a Peregian lifesaver. Potential members and their families are also invited to join Peregian Surf Club members to take a tour of the new member area renovation at the clubhouse.

Leigh McCready, Club President, said “We are very keen to give our community the chance to find out more about how they can give back by becoming a lifesaver or to volunteer for one of the many other roles which are available at the surf club, including radio operation, first aid, gear maintenance, fundraising or Peregian Markets BBQ staffing.”

“There is really something for everyone at the Club! From school-aged children to young adults, parents and grandparents, there are so many ways to get involved.”

“We are very proud of our new member area, which was funding through a grant from the Queensland Government and Surf Life Saving Queensland. Within the Club, the project management work was donated by local firms Altum Property Group and Stanford Consulting Engineers, and many other volunteers gave their time to ensure the project was delivered on time and on budget.” continued Ms McCready.

“We are looking forward to welcoming Minister for Police and Emergency Services Dan Purdie MP on Sunday to officially ‘cut the ribbon’ on our new facility.”

“Our new member area has a dedicated in-

ternal First Aid Room for the first time, a training room and member relaxation space plus separate changing areas for our nippers. We think it’s a really lovely space to gather and connect with fellow members, while also providing an office where our Admin team are based, which is accessible to the public on the ground floor. Come in and say hi to find out more about courses and programs.” Leigh concluded. For more information about the Peregian Beach SLSC and Open Day, please email hello@ peregiansurfclub.com.au or check out our socials. Our next Bronze Medallion and Surf Rescue Certificate course starts on 7th August.

Eight years of trust, care

Anglicare Southern Queensland has been named Australia’s most trusted aged care and retirement villages provider for the eighth consecutive year, while also receiving recognition for its home care services.

The organisation claimed top honours in the Aged Care and Retirement Villages category in the 2026 Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands Awards and was also highly commended in the Home Care – Queensland category for the fifth year running.

The recognition comes as demand for aged care and specialist dementia services continues to grow across Queensland, including the Sunshine Coast and Noosa region, where many residents rely on home care and residential aged

care services.

Anglicare Southern Queensland Chief Operating Officer for Aged and Community Services

Kane Singh said the award reflected the dedication of staff supporting older Queenslanders through a period of significant change in the sector.

“To receive this recognition for an eighth consecutive year is an incredible honour and speaks volumes about the trust Queenslanders place in our people and services,” Mr Singh said.

“Year on year, our staff continue to deliver exceptional care to those we serve, and during a period of significant change and reform across the aged care sector, they remain focused on keeping the dignity, independence and wellbeing of older Australians at the forefront.”

Mr Singh said the recognition was particularly significant as Anglicare expanded specialist de-

mentia support services across the state.

Following the opening of its first Specialist Dementia Care Program unit in north Brisbane in 2020, the organisation has since established additional units in Brisbane South and the Gold Coast, with a fourth planned for Toowoomba.

He said the organisation had also expanded interim bed accommodation in partnership with Metro North Health and The Prince Charles Hospital, helping older Queenslanders transition safely between hospital and permanent aged care.

“These services are playing an increasingly important role in helping relieve pressure on families and the broader health system,” Mr Singh said.

*The first draw will take place at midday on Saturday, 4th July. The second draw will take place at midday on Saturday, 11 July

The final draw will take place at midday on Saturday, 18 July. The winner must be present at the draw to claim their prize.

Online entries close at midday on the Friday before each draw. Paper entry forms close at midday on Saturday, 18 July. See www.noosafairshopping.com.au for full terms and conditions. 12870511-EB27-26

He said Anglicare’s home and community care teams had continued supporting clients through ongoing Federal Government aged care reforms, enabling more older people to remain living independently in their own homes.

“This award is a testament to the compassion and professionalism our staff show every day, whether that’s supporting residents in our residential aged care homes, delivering specialised dementia support or helping older people remain connected to their communities through home care services,” he said.

“Weknowtrustisearnedthroughactions,consistency and genuine care, and I want to sincerely thank our staff for the outstanding work they continue to do across Southern Queensland.”

National Tree Day

Leaf behind your busy schedule and put down some roots for the environment at Council’s National Tree Day planting event on Sunday 26 July.

Held in partnership with Planet Ark, the free community event will run from 9am to 12pm at Bagnalls Bushland Reserve, 152158 Cooroy Belli Creek Road, Cooroy. Noosa Council Bushcare Officer Renata Neumann said National Tree Day was a terrific opportunity for the community to branch out and make a lasting contribution to the local environment.

“We’ll be planting more than 2000 native trees, shrubs and groundcovers on National Tree Day as part of an ongoing revegetation project, so everyone who volunteers their time at this event will be part of something very special,” she said.

“Every tree we plant helps create habitat, improves water quality and supports the health of our local ecosystems for generations to come.”

“Bagnalls Bushland Reserve is located within the Mary River catchment and features Upper Six Mile Creek running through it. This will be a long-term revegetation site, which is exciting for our Bushcare volunteers and the Environmental Services team more broadly.”

In addition to planting activities, there will be plenty of reasons to stick around and enjoy the morning, including face painting, live music, plant identification sessions, weeds and wildlife talks and environmental education activities.

Adults can also enjoy a free small coffee and a hot chocolate for children from the on-site coffee van while taking in the festivities.

No prior planting experience is necessary and all plants, tools, gloves and guidance will be provided. Volunteers are encouraged to wear enclosed shoes, longsleeved shirts and long pants, and bring their own drinking water.

Book your spot to join the planting crew here on Eventbrite.

National Tree Day Community Planting is on Sunday 26 July, 9am–12pm at Bagnalls Bushland Reserve, 152-158 Cooroy Belli Creek Road, Cooroy Cost: Free Bookings: Via Eventbrite

KITCHEN CABINET

ABC TV, Tuesday, 8.30pm

In the 15 years Annabel Crabb has been catching up with Australian politicians for a personal sit-down in this popular interview series, she’s broken bread with prime ministers past, present and future – but one kitchen has escaped her reach: The Lodge. The journo jumps at the chance to visit the Georgian revival mansion in Canberra, where Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (pictured with Crabb) has offered to host her for a lunch of orecchiette pasta with broccolini and anchovies. Their playful chat, while Albo cooks in the grand home’s commercialstyle kitchen, covers his childhood in Camperdown, his downtime with wife Jodie and how 30 years in federal politics prepared him for the country’s top job.

Fresh faces, same old country heart

Pomona Bakery has long been a place where locals catch up over coffee, families grab fresh bread for lunches, and visitors make a stop on their way through our beautiful hinterland. We feel incredibly privileged to now be part of that tradition.

As local business owners, we purchased Pomona Bakery because we saw something special—not just another great bakery, but a business at the heart of its community. Our goal is simple: to honour what people already love while continuing to invest in the bakery, our team and the quality of everything we produce.

We’re passionate about supporting local jobs and creating a welcoming place where

everyone feels at home, whether you’re a Pomona local, visiting from nearby towns or exploring the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

One thing we’re especially proud of is our team. We were fortunate to retain our experienced bakers when we took over, and we’re equally passionate about helping train the next generation of bakers. We believe traditional baking is a trade worth preserving, and we’re committed to giving local young people the opportunity to learn, grow and build a rewarding career.

As our bakery continues to grow, we’re always on the lookout for enthusiastic people who share our passion for great food and great service. Whether you’re an experienced baker

or a local looking to start an apprenticeship, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re excited about what the future holds for Pomona Bakery and look forward to continuing to serve the town for many years to come.

If you haven’t visited us recently, we’d love to welcome you in for a coffee, a fresh loaf of bread or one of our homemade bakery favourites. We look forward to seeing you soon.

The Butchers of Noosa

Butchers of Noosa is more than just your local butcher shop,it’s a place built on family, passion, and a genuine love for quality food.

Proudly family owned and operated in the heart of Sunrise Beach, we’ve created a space where old-fashioned service meets exceptional quality.

As qualified butchers, we love sharing our knowledge, helping customers choose the perfect cut, and making every visit a friendly and memorable experience.

We’re incredibly passionate about supporting Australian farmers and carefully source the finest organic, grass-fed and free-range meats from around the country.

Every product in our cabinet reflects our com-

mitment to quality, sustainability, and bringing the very best to your family’s table.

We’re honoured to have been awarded Australia’s Best Pork Sausage, but what means even more to us is the wonderful community that continues to support our small business every day. It’s the familiar faces, the conversations across the counter, and being trusted to provide food for your family that inspires us to do what we love.

Whether you’re planning a weekend barbecue, a family roast, or an easy midweek meal, we’d love to welcome you into Butchers of Noosa and help make it something special.

From our family to yours, thank you for supporting local. Shop. Gather. Feast.

Good food, generous servings and warm smiles

Long before they became business partners, Effie and Fiona were friends. Four years ago, they took the leap together and became the faces behind Miss Effie’s Kitchen, combining traditional cafe favourites, amazing coffee and homemade Greek food with the kind of warm, friendly service that makes a local cafe feel like home.

Miss Effie’s Kitchen is proudly a little old school.

We believe food should be fresh, generous and affordable. We believe sandwiches should be made fresh to order, portions should leave you satisfied, coffee should be excellent, and you should always be greeted by friendly faces who are genuinely happy to see you.

Alongside your cafe favourites, you’ll find Greek food that has become a big part of what we’re known for — homemade baklava, spanakopita, moussaka, along with our much loved lasagne, sandwiches, breakfasts, lunches and take home meals.

Pop in for breakfast and a great coffee, grab lunch with us, or pick up one of our take home meals and let us take care of dinner too.

Over the past four years, we’ve been incredibly blessed to build a wonderful community of regular customers who keep coming back and we think that says more about Miss Effie’s Kitchen than anything else ever could.

Great food. Generous portions. Amazing coffee. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Come in, say hello to Effie and Fiona, grab

a coffee and something delicious. You might arrive as a customer, but it won’t take long before we know your name.

India ticked off the bucket list

Few destinations stir the imagination quite like India. The Taj Mahal glowing at first light, the pink ramparts of Jaipur, lamplit evening rituals on the banks of the Ganges — it is a country that has sat at the top of bucket lists for generations.

Yet many travellers hesitate at the final step, unsure whether the experience on the ground will live up to the dream.

Inspiring Vacations (inspiringvacations.com) has set out to remove that hesitation entirely. The company’s newly released India collection lifts every core journey to carefully selected four- and five-star accommodation — heritage properties, palace stays and premium comfort throughout — directly answering the single biggest reservation travellers have held about visiting.

At the heart of the range is the 17-Day India’s Northern Heritage Small Group Tour, a journey connecting three of the country’s most captivating regions — Rajasthan, Amritsar and Varanasi — in one thoughtfully sequenced itinerary. It is a combination rarely offered together; until now, seeing all three has typically meant booking two separate tours. Here they unfold in the right order, from the forts and palaces of Rajasthan to the Golden Temple of Amritsar and the ancient spiritual heart of Varanasi.

Just as important is how the journey moves. Itineraries have been deliberately paced so travellers can settle into each place rather than rush between them, with longer distances eased by internal flights and a relaxed rail passage carrying guests to Agra and the Taj Mahal.

“India rewards travellers who give it time,” says Paul Ryan, CEO and Co-founder at Inspiring Vacations.

“We’ve re-engineered the classic India journey to go deeper and further than the typical itinerary — but at a pace that lets you actually absorb it, staying in properties that are experiences in their own right.”

The collection reaches well beyond the north. The Eight-Day Kerala’s Backwaters Small Group Tour drifts through the palm-fringed canals and spice country of India’s serene south, while the 23-Day India’s Northern Heritage and Kerala Small Group Tour joins north and south in a single sweeping journey.

For those drawn to the mountains, the 26Day Nepal and India Northern Heritage Small Group Tour begins amid Kathmandu’s temples, Himalayan vistas and the wildlife-rich plains of Chitwan before flowing into the northern circuit. A new Sri Lanka itinerary has also been designed to pair naturally with India — a muchloved combination now returned to the range.

“This is the most connected India range we’ve ever offered,” Ryan says.

“North, south, Nepal, Sri Lanka — the itineraries are built to link together, so travellers can shape a journey as broad or as focused as they like, with the comfort question answered before they even pack.”

The result is a quiet promise: that India’s colour, history and humanity can finally be experienced in real depth, without a single compromise on comfort along the way. Small groups, expert local guides and seamless logistics take

the right way to say yes to India, this may well be it.

School of Music marks 10 years

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Kate Miller-Heidke will headline the Eumundi School of Music’s (ESOM) 10th Anniversary Mini Festival, joining some of the region’s most promising young musicians for a special celebration at the Eumundi School of Arts on Saturday 22 August from 4 –10pm.

The mini-festival will showcase bands formed by the young rockers who have won scholarships to the Eumundi School of Music (ESOM) this year, along with alumni bands. The evening will culminate with a special performance by songbird Kate Miller-Heidke, who will close out the celebration alongside alongside some of ESOM’s exceptional young performers.

Kate said she is delighted to be part of the school’s milestone celebration.

“It’s always inspiring to see young musicians finding their voice and discovering the joy of making music together. The Eumundi School of Music has created something really special over the past 10 years, nurturing creativity, confidence and community through music. I’m thrilled to be part of this celebration and can’t wait to share the stage with these incredibly talented young artists.”

ESOM was founded in 2016 by five-time ARIA Award-winning artist Katie Noonan and a team of passionate Sunshine Coast professional musicians, who shared a vision to create a music mentoring and tuition program that would ignite a passion for live music performance in students already playing music.

“We set out to mentor these young musicians, give them expert tuition, and help them develop stagecraft and live performance skills,” Katie said. “A vital part of the program is bringing our young rockers together in bands, with the opportunity to collaborate, create and experience the magic of making great music.”

Katie said she was incredibly proud of what ESOM has achieved over the past decade.

“Seeing ESOM flourish over the past 10 years has been enormously rewarding, and it’s some-

thing we’re all deeply proud of,” she said.

“To see more than 300 young people come through the program, forming bands, building confidence and developing lifelong friendships through music, is incredibly moving. ESOM has always been about community, creativity and the joy of making music, and I’m thrilled to celebrate this milestone with our students, alumni and supporters.”

“The incredible Kate and her husband and collaborator, Keir Nuttall, bring extraordinary

Rights of ageing Aussies

Tracey MacLennan has worked for more than sixteen years in the aged care industry with both private and not-for-profit organisations gaining extensive experience across a range of government funded programmes. She is currently a Senior Care Advisor with Local Guardians for the Noosa/Buderim area. She is a strong advocate for choice, dignity and independence.

“I spent several years leading large aged care teams, but my greatest passion has always been working directly with clients and helping them understand their rights. Building meaningful relationships and ensuring every person receives the best care available is my passion,” Tracey told us.

“Tracey will be guest speaker at the next meeting of The Tewantin Noosa Probus Club on Tuesday, July 28th,” said Club President, Joy Fenty. “We meet at 10 o’clock for morning tea ($6) at the Tewantin Noosa RSL. Tracey’s presentation will begin at 10.30. If you would like to know more about your aged care rights, you are welcome to

attend our meeting.”

“I believe that older Australians have the right to be heard and to make decisions about the support they receive. Local Guardians doesn’t employ its own workforce or deliver services. Instead, we help our clients choose the care team that best suits their needs, preferences and budget. This enables our clients to maximise the value of their funding, while retaining the freedom and flexibility to select the people who provide their care.

This means we are free to focus on what matters most, helping older Australians get the right support from the right people at the best price.

I am passionate about empowering older Australians to understand their options and rights, so they receive the care and support they need to continue living independently and with dignity,” Tracey explained.

If you would like to hear Tracey’s presentation, please phone Christine on 5442 7397 so she can save you a seat.

Wildlife of North Shore

Jo Brown has been a permanent resident of Teewah Village, Noosa North Shore for 6 years and has been exploring the Cooloola Recreational Area for around 35 years. She has been a wildlife rescuer for many years and had a rehabilitation and rescue facility for injured/sick seabirds, koalas and other wildlife at a family farm in Noosaville. It was a facility where wildlife could be assessed and cared for until transferred to places like Australia Zoo, Sea World or Twinnies.

Now, years later, Jo is based in Teewah and a volunteer with Noosa Wildlife, Teewah Turtle Trackers, Noosa Bushcare and a Rural Firefighter. She picks up any injured wildlife reported or found along Teewah Beach then transfers to relay rescuers at Tewantin side of the ferry. The turtle team monitor marine turtle nests, and rescue injured and stranded turtles alongside Noosa Council crews. Jo witnesses many species of seabirds, sea snakes, turtles and other marine life along the local beaches.

Teewah is a close-knit community who cares deeply about the local environment and who document the fauna and flora of the local area on a website called Teewah Naturally.

On 24 July, Jo will be sharing what is special

about this unique environment in Teewah and her work as a wildlife rescuer.

Oz the Movie - 50 years on

Fifty years on, one of Australia’s pioneer music film clip makers, now local resident Chris Lofven is reviving ‘OZ - A Rock’n’Roll Road Movie’ , a film he created and released in 1976, for a 50th anniversary screening at The Majestic Theatre, Pomona.

The film takes us on a trip down the highway with country runaway Dorothy as she journeys to the city to catch the farewell concert of rock superstar, The Wizard.

It’s Oz in the ’70’s with a seminal Australian soundtrack by Ross Wilson (Daddy Cool).

The film won critical acclaim with renowned movie critic David Stratton describing it as “one of the most inventive and enjoyable of Australian films - clever, brash, noisy, gutsy and uninhibited”. Rick Bennett of the Sunday Observer said it was “one of the most exciting, vibrant Australian movies yet”. Join the experience to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the World Premiere of this iconic Australian film at The Majestic Theatre, Pomona on Thursday 30 July at 7pm. Tickets are only $15. Book online at The Majestic Theatre website.

Orchestral organ concert

By Jim Fagan

“Ask the average person what an organist does and I suspect many will immediately think of something you see or hear from a horror film, all hands and feet flying, or maybe they’ve gone to Granma’s funeral but, really, the organ is a fantastic instrument and a whole orchestra in one.”

That’s the view of one of Australia’s leading organists and church musicians, Christopher Trikilis, who will be in Noosa for a concert at Sunrise Beach Uniting Church on Saturday, July 25.

Forty-one-year-old Christopher is Director of Music at Brisbane’s Cathedral of St Stephen, one of Australia’s busiest churches, and his love for sacred music has been with him since he was nine and singing in a cathedral choir in Melbourne.

“As a young boy I had exposure to some really wonderful, high-quality music from across the centuries. I was inspired by the tone of the organ and what it could do,” he told Noosa Today.

“I certainly didn’t ever guess I would do what I’ve done in music. It opened my eyes to a very different world. Live sacred music has an underlying beauty that is impossible to

capture anywhere else.” He specialises in the pipe organ, and before playing in the Cathedral in Brisbane was director of music at Our Lady of Victories Basilica at Camberwell, in Melbourne, and at St Patrick’s Church, Mentone, for almost 10 years. Before that, Christopher was organ scholar at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne. He has also performed in concerts and played in churches and halls across the world. “One of my biggest thrills was playing in Zagreb Cathedral in Croatia, an amazing building built in 1094. We just don’t have that sort of history in Australia.” In September he will again play overseas- this time in New Zealand. This is his first visit to the Coast and his concert at the Uniting Church will include a selection of music which “will show the rich colours of the organ.” It includes J S Bach’s Fantasia in G, Theodore Dubois’s Grand Chorus and Toccata, Domenico Zipoli’s Elevazione and a selection from American composer and organist Paul Manz.

Organ Recital, July 25 at 3pm. Sunrise Beach Uniting Church, 6 Grasstree Court. $20 cash only, includes refreshments. RSVP Ruth 0421540347 or book online noosacoastaluc@ gmail.com

Dolphins’ wins and losses

By Taylor Ryan

Noosa Dolphins started the weekend on Friday night with its third grade squad heading down to Kawana to play a stacked Brothers team - the team opposite in more than one way, big, burley and fast against the speed youth and game smarts of Noosa.

Noosa executed a simple game plan and raced out to an early 14-0 lead. Brothers bruised their way back into the contest to get close before a late first half try gave the Phins a bit of breathing room.

The frantic pace of the opening stanza left little in the tank of the men in blue and white. The second half saw a choking style of rugby from the visitors, two more tries and three 3 pointers let the 44-15 score line tell the story.

Special mention the lads who not only played without a bench, but lost two soldiers in the second half to finish with 13 men.

Top of the table clash at Dolphins this Friday night to kick off John Currey round, like the battles of old vs our great foe Maroochydore.

On Saturday the Noosa Dolphins produced a comprehensive performance on Saturday, recording a victory over USC at USC’s home ground in Sippy Downs.

Both sides were affected by injuries, and credit to USC for their effort and for repeatedly putting their bodies on the line despite the scoreline. While the result was decisive, the team remains grounded and focused on continual improvement.

Taylah Mendhan and Lilly Doherty were standouts in the forward pack, with their strong work rate giving the backs quality ball. Captain Imy McLeod pulled the strings from fly-half, directing play and managing the game effectively as the backs found space and finished well. 0-91 the score line - keeping the girls on top of the ladder Reserve grade came in composed and

Trades &

looking to amend for last weeks first lost of the season.

With some returning older heads and dynamic young prop Ritchie Bourne, Reggie’s team was far more balanced and ready to get stuck in.

A greatly worked team try lead to Fletcher Fairbanks crossing over. This would be our only score in the first half as we went into half time down 10-5.

Noosa’s scrum pack absolutely dominating every scrum leaving Uni no other option to try take goal points or quick taps.

The second half started cleaner and saw Noosa really assert their dominance on the game, with more spectacular play making by Louie Griffen and Max Russell, and fullback Callum

Phillips attacking the line hard, scoring 3 tries and running away with the game, Uni only scoring a consolation try at full time. (17-25)

A grade - with a few injuries lurking the squad the team was pumped and ready for a massive game against Uni, our biggest rival over the last five years. Tai Ford had a great game, carry after carry into a relentless defensive line, along with prop Brad Jensen doing some tough hard yards in the middle.

Uni scored the first try down the sideline with some serious pace and footwork.

Second half performance was much better with intensity and brute force by Noosa allowing the team to get some much needed points on the board, leading 7-5. With some unlucky calls and good mauling by Uni they saw them selves back

over the line another two times.

Nearing the end of the game it was sure Uni would win, but a sensational try in the dying minutes from Noosa saw a potential come back. Scrumming hard and great lineout balls by Harry O’Connor saw Noosa marching back up the field to, hopefully, another try but an unlucky penalty stopped Noosa’s momentum. Uni re gained the ball and ended the game giving A grade its second loss for the season with an underpowered team due to some injuries, 10-17 to Uni, This week game on 18 June is the John Curry Cup, which brings huge crowds to either venue for the game. This will be Noosa’s third last home game for the season. Be sure to come and support the Dolphins - the bigger the crowd the better.

Tigers get there in the end

By Julian Pitts

The Rococo Noosa Tigers have kept their spot in the QAFL final eight after a tightly fought victory over Mt Gravatt at Weyba Rd last Saturday. Whilst the Noosa boys jumped the vultures early to open up at 6 goal lead at qtr time the bottom of the table Vultures dominated the next two qtrs cutting the margin to only 2 points at the final change with most of the Tiger faithful biting their fingernails in nervous anticipation. However the high pressuring locals, who amassed a whopping 88 tackles for the day came away in the final stanza to record a 23 point victory ahead of an enormous clash with long time rivals Maroochydore this Saturday at Fishermsns rd. Across the board nearly all of the Noosa boys had their moments and as mentioned earlier their tackling and harassing efforts all day was elite. Hard as nails on baller Sam Willoughby continued his magnificent season with another stirring performance in the middle. Willoughby had 33 touches , a massive 18 clearances and laid 12 tackles to be easily the best player on the ground. In form running half back Billy Shanks again had plenty of the footy amassing 35 possessions whilst key defender Tait Winter continued his good vein of form with another super impressive stopping game. Both McKenzie brothers impacted the game with skill and flair throughout with older brother Will in particular playing a massive part in Noosa establishing such a strong first qtr lead. Skipper Rhys Free kicked 4 up forward whilst small forwards Mure and Colombo were busy and bagged two apiece. Youngster Riley Mackay was again among the tigers best in just his second game with his skill and courage not at all lost on the Tiger faithful!

As mentioned earlier it’s the ‘green slime’ this week and seriously the stage is set for a belter! Senior Men’s game starting at 2pm.

The Reserves had a good solid win against the Vultures to further enhance their position in the 8 and will be looking to beat Maroochydore for a second time this season from 11.30 am this Saturday.

Kalan Shanks and Kooper Airey Bamback the best for the Ressies last week.

The colts dropped one they really shouldn’t have and have a pretty tough road leading into the business end of the year. They do get 2025 premiership player Farran Cooke back and will look to Jared Moss, Zion Kendall and Liam Grant to get them over the line this weekend!

Our Senior Women are at home to Gympie this Saturday from 2pm. The top of the table Tigers have only lost one game in 2026 and that in fact was to Gympie earlier in the sea-

Junior tennis flourishing

Launch Tennis Coaching is helping drive a resurgence in junior tennis across the Noosa region, with participation continuing to grow and Term 3 shaping up to be the biggest yet.

Just three and a half years ago, Tewantin Noosa Tennis Club had no junior fixture teams. Today, the club is celebrating four junior teams reaching the finals last season, including one premiership-winning team, and is aiming to field a record eight junior teams in the upcoming season.

The growth reflects a strong focus on junior player development, structured coaching and creating clear pathways for children to progress from beginner through to competition tennis.

The recent appointment of Pete Taylor, a Tennis Australia Master Club Professional, as Head Coach at Good Shepherd Lutheran College has further strengthened Launch Tennis Coaching’s presence across the Noosa region. In its first term delivering the school’s tennis program, overall participation has increased by almost 60 per cent, driven by growth in weekly coaching and the successful introduction of holiday tennis clinics.

“It’s been incredibly rewarding to see so many local children getting involved in tennis. Watching the program grow from no junior teams to eight teams this season shows what’s possible when children are given a fun, supportive environment and a clear pathway to develop. Our goal is to help every child enjoy the game, build confidence and stay involved in sport for years to come,” Pete said.

Programs are designed around small structured group coaching, ensuring every child receives quality instruction while progressing through the Tennis Australia recognised Red, Orange, Green and Yellow Ball pathway. The emphasis is on developing skills, confidence, friendships and a lifelong love of tennis in a fun and supportive environment.

With Term 3 enrolments now open, Launch Tennis Coaching welcomes primary school children of all abilities, from complete beginners through to competitive players, with programs starting from just $20 per lesson.

Another Impact Boxing win

TALKING

Once again, Cooroy Impact Boxing and Fitness Centre has produced another Australian champion. This time the title goes to Theo Rivera who won Gold at the 2026 Australian Under-19 Championship: thus, earning him, the title of Australian Junior Male 63 kg Champion boxer in Australia. Theo delivered an outstanding tournament from start to finish.

In the quarter final he defeated his South Australian opponent with a Round 1Tko. This he capped off with a semi-final win by stopping his Victorian opponent with a TKO in the second: and made the title his with a third- round knockout, over a worthy New South Wales opponent. His style bought the crowd to its feet.

His outstanding performance throughout the tournament, earned him the award for Best Junior Male Boxer. Theo’s success is a testament to the countless hours of hard work, discipline and dedication he has invested behind the scenes.

Early mornings tough training sessions and unwavering commitment have all led to this incredible moment. Seeing his hand raised as Australian Champion was the ultimate reward for the effort he put in.

Mika Davey also had an exceptional tournament in her first Australian Under 19 Championship, bringing home a Silver Medal, after a highly competitive final against Victoria’ Belle Spicer, the current three-time Australian Champion. For Mika to reach the final, and win silver so early in her boxing career, against such an accomplished opponent, is an outstanding achievement and one she should be incredibly proud of.

Not to be outdone Jackson Davey produced another fantastic performance. At just his second Australian Championship, it earned him a Silver Medal, after meeting two- time Australian Champion, Nash Wall from New South Wales in the final.

“All three athletes exceeded all expectations displaying exceptional boxing skills, ring 1Q and composure throughout the championships. As a coach I couldn’t be prouder of what they have achieved. They represented Queensland with pride on the biggest stage in Australia amateur boxing, and did themselves, their families and our club proud.

‘’A huge thank you all of our teammates, families, supporters sponsors and everyone who has been part of this journey. Your encouragement and belief mean the world to our athletes.”

Congratulations again to Theo, Mika and Jackson. The future of Impact Boxing and Fitness Centre is incredibly bright, and we can’t wait to see what comes next” . This coach has a total of some 100 or more Australian titles, to his credit and it all started in a back yard in Cooroy some 21 yrs ago: his ability to relate with the youth and above all, in -still a feeling of self-confidence is second to none.

Ably supported by wife Kylie as a corner person, it definitely makes for a great team. In the gym itself, there is also a feeling that can only serve to make our kids feel at home. And above all, puts our families -feeling at ease!

Rugby League

Pirates Secretary Tim Burger tells us that it was a mixes bag of results across the weekend for the Noosa Senior sides, but there was plenty of determination and grit on display in every grade.

Congratulations to our U19 Men’s, Open Women and A grade men, who all came away with impressive victories, to keep their finals aspirations firmly on track.

The U19 Men continued their strong form with an outstanding 30-14 victory over Gympie Devils. It was a complete team performance with the young Pirates playing with confidence and showing the improvement that has been building throughout the season. C Grade Men found Mary Valley Men to strong going down 44-6.

While the results were not what the team was after they’ll regroup, put in the hard work on the training paddock this week, and be ready to respond in the next round.

The Open Women battled through a physical contest to defeat Stanley Rivers 26-12 The girls showed plenty of character to grind out the win. Injuries affected both teams throughout the match, making it a tough afternoon for everyone

involved. A special mention goes to the Stanley River Women, who have improved enormously this season. Theyb are a tough and resilient side, and the Pirates have nothing but respect for the effort they bought to the field.

Reserve Grade Men fought hard all afternoon but couldn’t match Stanley River eventually going down28-16. There was plenty of positives to take from the performance as the side continues to build towards the business end of the season.

A Grade Men capped off the day with a 30-22 victory over Stanley River in a hard- fought contest. It was a physical encounter from start to finish, but the Pirates dug deep when the game was on the line to secure another valuable two points.

The season is now entering its final exciting stretch for both our Senior and International junior competitions. After returning from the school holiday break, our junior teams have just five rounds remaining to secure their place in the finals- which begin in late August.

Our senior sides also have just five rounds left with every match carrying enormous importance in the race for finals football. This weekend promises to be one of the biggest of the season for the Noosa Pirates. Action begins on Friday night at Cooroy, where our U15 Boys, U15 Girls and U17 Girls, will be in action, before the focus shifts back to Pirate Park at Tewantin on Sunday.

The day kicks off with eight junior fixtures from 8.30am before a huge afternoon and evening of senior rugby league. C Grade opens the senior schedule against Beachmere at 1. pm, followed by the U19 Men’s taking on Coolum at 2.30pm, Reserve Grade at 4.00pm and the A Grade clash at 5.30pm.

Saturday will be also a special occasion as the club celebrates Old Boys Day, welcoming back the 2006 A Grade and the Reserve Grade premiership winning teams, for their 20-year reunion, while also recognising the 50-year anniversary of the 1976Reserve Grade Premership.

The feature A Grade match against Coolum, will once again be played for the prestigious

Richter-Cavanagh Shield, adding even more significance to an already afternoon of football. Before A Grade kicks off, the club will pause to honour one of its true pioneers, holding a minute’s silence for the late Col Christensen. Col was a founding member of the Noosa Pirates whose passion, commitment and contribution help build the club into what it is today. The club invites all members past players and supporters to join together in paying their respects to a man whose legacy will forever remain a part of Pirate history.

The Noosa Pirates encourage all supporters past players and the wider community to come down, enjoy a fantastic day of rugby league and help create a memorable atmosphere as our teams continue their push towards the finals.

Martial Arts

Early this month Grappling Industries helped promote Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the Sunshine Coast by supporting a major tournament at Buderim and our local club, CAZA BJJ, attended and once again under the coaching of

Professor Yoshie Hasegawa, the results were outstanding.

A total of 363 athletes from 37 teams competed. Noosa’s CAZA Club was represented by 27 athletes—17 juniors and 10 adults—and, according to club administration, returned with 34 medals: 16 gold, nine silver and nine bronzes. Gold tally tells us that 11 members won single gold and 5 won doubles.

Club members are now in full training as the Qld state championships will be held on the Gold Coast on the 25-26 July. This will be followed by the Australian National Championships, in Melbourne from 14-16 August. The CAZA Club plans to have big teams for both. We wish them well. Between the flags

At Noosa Heads SLSC, 16-year-old Phoenix Bailey has been appointed Junior Club Captain for the season—a positive example of young people stepping forward. He is well presented and speaks confidently. Anya Bourne has also been appointed Youth Development Officer. We wish them both every success. More next week.

The GOAT is back at Chopes

When the WSL world tour resumes at Teahupo’o in a couple of weeks many questions will be asked about who has or has not lost momentum over the month-long midseason break.

Will the struggling Aussie men (Morgs Cibilic at 16, Jack Robbo at 13) come back refreshed and renewed and ready to crush some Pacific bombs? Will. the girl wonders (Vahine Ferierro at 19, Erin Brooks at 18, Tya Zebrowski at 15) finally get to show us what they’ve got in waves of consequence? Of course it’s still too early for a longrange forecast, but Chopes and Cloudbreak back to back in swell season would be pretty good bets.

And while it may be inconsequential to the world title race, my biggest question is what will we see from the world’s oldest active professional surfer, 11-times world champ Kelly Slater, surfing as the sponsor wildcard for his own brand, Outerknown? If you know anything about surfing, you know that Slater does not shirk a big barrel, so if they come, anything could happen. But these days the GOAT is playing in uncharted waters. At 54 and a half he is the oldest surfer to compete in a WSL world tour event. If we leave aside lawn bowls and golf, he is getting very close to the oldest athlete to compete at the highest level of any professional sport, nudging Satchel Paige, who pitched in his last Major League Baseball game at 59.

Kelly hasn’t competed in anything in over a year and had hip surgery late in 2025 which kept him out of the water for several months. But keep in mind that he won at Pipeline in 2022, got a fifth there just last year and another fifth at Chopes in 2024 as a wildcard. And for good measure, he looked in pretty good shape when he did a demo heat on the Gold Coast with Occy senior and junior recently.

When I was putting together Kelly’s book, For The Love nearly 20 years ago when he was a mere 35, we got a bunch of fans to send in their questions. One of the better ones was, “At what stages of your career did you feel you were at your peak?”

Kelly responded that he peaked as a competitor the first time between 1996 and ’97, then again, inspired by Andy Irons, between ’03 and ’05. Then he added: “I think any athlete who reaches a certain age will start to feel the increasing physical challenge of what he does, but I believe the emotional and mental side of it is even more important. People who keep raising the bar as they get older generally do so because they keep themselves emotionally and mentally young and are aware and open to change. That’s how you keep it fresh and exciting.”

Slater will surf against Eli Hannemann in Round 1. The Tahiti Pro runs run from August 8 to 18.

Finding True North

This is another of the very special offerings being made at next month’s Noosa International Surfilm Festival.

Directed by Matty Schweitzer, this short feature chronicles the extraordinary journey of Josh Bogle—from a career-ending snowboarding injury and life-threatening struggles with addiction to discovering healing and purpose through adaptive surfing in Hawaii, ultimately transforming into the first quadruple amputee surfer with prosthetic legs, and an inspiring voice for resilience, redemption, and the power of nature.

Looking around for further background on Josh, I found a fascinating profile by Lisa Schell in Maui No Ka Oi magazine, which begins:

“One spring morning 11 years ago, a nurse entered a room in the ICU ward of Maui Memorial Medical Center. She drew back the curtains. [Mount] Haleakal towered in the distance as she queued up Bob Marley’s ‘Three Little Birds’ . Don’t worry about a thing/ ’Cause every little thing, gonna be all right.

“She knew her patient, Josh Bogle, loved reggae music. The former competitive snowboarder, who had been in a medically induced coma for more than a week, tried to sing along with the reggae classic despite the breathing tube in his throat.

“’There was this little spark, this moment when I knew I had a choice. I could stay where I was, or I could wake up,’” said Bogle. ‘The Hawaiian word for breath and life is ‘ha.’ I was given my ha back, and I knew everything was going to

be all right.’”

It’s a powerful opening to a powerful story, but unfortunately it would take another decade for Josh to emerge from his long nightmare, powered by what he calls his “radical optimism” , and, alongside his Jack Russell-Chihuahua medical assistance dog Maya, build a new life as a champion adaptive surfer and powerful advocate for amputees.

Watching the trailer for True North, I was reminded of another powerful advocate and adaptive champion, my good mate Mark “Mono” Stewart. I’ve never met Josh Bogle, but I sure would like to.

Finding True North will be part of the festival’s Courage and Persistence session on Friday 14 August. Full program and tickets are available at nisff.com.au.

THE HEART OF THE MATTER

PROPERTY MATTERS

ERLE LEVEY

FOR so many, the first vision of Noosa Heads is while coming over the rise near the Reef Hotel. There, right in front of you is the glistening blue waters of Laguna Bay and the golden stretch of the North Shore beaches as a backdrop.

Yet the real love affair starts once you trek around the boardwalk - past First Point and the secluded Little Cove beach to the Noosa National Park.

This pocket is very much the essence of Noosa. It was what held such special appeal for me in those days before leg ropes on surfboards or wet suits for winter.

Saying that, one of the Little Cove originals has come on the market. A property that goes back to those wild and wonderful days.

A three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house on 685sq m at 2 Allambi Rise, Noosa Heads, goes to auction Saturday, 25 July, at 2pm.

“This is a special one in such a great spot,’’ Rebekah Offermann of Tom Offermann Real Estate said. “It’s exciting to be offering a piece of Noosa’s history.

“The house has a lot of charm and quite the vantage point with Noosa River views and some snippets of Laguna Bay.

“If it happens to be the end of the line for this Robert Froud cottage, which was built in 1970, then someone could build something extra special there - perhaps a new landmark home for Little Cove for decades to come.’’

On a plum 685sq m corner site, the high-set cottage was designed by renowned foundational modernist, Brisbane architect Robert Froud, who also had a direct formative link to Hastings Street and Little Cove.

Today the land carries the lion’s share of the value, and the calibre of homes recently completed, rising and planned along this exclusive escarpment, will underpin this prime

investment in location.

“This is the beach cottage everyone quizzes me about so often,“ Rebekah said.

“Do you think they’ll ever sell with an emphasis on ’ever’ is common.

“Not surprising given the appeal is obvious ... amid palms and ancient native vegetation, 100 metres down the staircase to Hastings Street, or a shady road walk to Little Cove Beach.“

The original two-level beach cottage has retained many of its features including internal timber panelling and flooring, blonde brick features also windows looking into tropical rainforest.

The open-plan lounge and dining have slideaway doors to the terrace and a north-facing aspect.

The kitchen has white-topped timber cabinetry and appliances; there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and undercover parking for two cars. Side and rear gardens meld with the Noosa National Park.

A two-bedroom, one-bathroom, one-car townhouse 1/16A Kauri Street, Cooroy, is for sale at offers over $799,000. (561966)

After 56 years of multi-generational family celebrations, the time is ripe for another chapter to be written in the story of Little Cove.

FAMILY FAVOURITE

It’s a fabulous family home ... really substantial with wonderful outdoor living areas.

Melanie Butcher of Laguna Real Estate has a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house, pool, at 34 Neptune Cct, Noosaville, she is taking to auction Saturday, 1 August, at 12pm.

At its heart, the well appointed kitchen features stone benchtops, a large gas cooktop and overlooks the open-plan living and dining areas.

Upstairs comprises four spacious bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms, while an additional bathroom services the ground floor.

A separate study or home office with its own entry provides an ideal work-from-home space.

Additional features include storage sheds, a fully-fenced yard, solar panels, and airconditioning throughout.

There is a double lock-up garage with drivethrough access to the rear, and plenty of room to accommodate a boat or caravan.

Tradies would love the sheds, Melanie said. The house has been refreshed and is in a great location.

Within a stroll of the vibrant Gympie Terrace and Noosa River, the property is in a circuit with a park at the end of the street.

OPPORTUNITY

IN HINTERLAND TOWN

An end unit in a block of six, a two-bedroom townhouse in Cooroy enjoys natural light and fenced as well as grassed back yard.

Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano at Hinternoosa, Unit 1/16A Kauri St is for sale at offers over $799,000.

With one bathroom and one garage, the townhouse is set back from the road, making it very quiet while enjoying low body corporate fees.

Interest has been mainly from those coming to area and wanting to downsize.

“It’s hard to find anything in Cooory that is not $900,000-plus,’’ Jeanette said. “This is a great opportunity for those wanting to keep it simple.’’

There’s a warm and inviting feel with timber internal stairs, timber floors, and raked ceilings.

The main bedroom is upstairs with built-in robe, air-conditioning and ceiling fan.

As for the main bathroom, it is fresh and light with bath plus direct access to the main bedroom.

The newly-renovated kitchen comes with stunning benchtops and slimline electric appliances, plus the laundry has had an upgrade too.

Upstairs, a big balcony captures the blue-sky outlook, and there are now solar panels on the roof.

Downstairs is the second large airconditioned bedroom with built-in robe and a second toilet.

The single lock-up garage has an epoxy coated floor, remote control door, EV charger, plus some shelving.

ULTRA PRIVATE, PROFOUND BEAUTY

THE Estate. Sparkling indulgence and understated glamour of global standard, bear the signature traits of an elite hotelier’s experience in design excellence, significant virtues and minimalist architecture. Ultra private, profound natural beauty - this is a paradisical oasis where endless blue skies meet the squeaky white sand of Noosa Main Beach, ten minutes away.

Admire the lengthy creeping fig wall, disappearing gate, and revel in the dramatic circular driveway wreathed by nature’s verdant offerings of beautiful trees such as the sublimely perched centrepiece, an autumn-toned maple.

From the forecourt, step into the vast vestibule. And sigh. There’s a sense of indisputable splendour, fashioned with class and integrity reflecting the same designer precision as its exterior, yet an emphasis on balance, functionality, and a cleverly restrained palette.

It’s all cocktail-cool with an after-five air in the main residence. It sets the tone as the effervescent and vital backdrop of boundless living and dining spaces in perfect concert with the open-plan layout, thus creating a feeling of absolute warmth and invitingness.

Reminiscent of a gallery of modern art and design is a fine assemblage of decadent everything from exclusive luxury furniture, bespoke accessories and textile accents.

Easy to be besotted by the lofty ceilings and liberal use of disappearing full-height walls of glass across the width of the residence, including the exquisite ‘living’ picture window, enticing a harmonious view that morphs with the seasons.

Abundant northerly light invites itself in, to shadow dance across seemingly endless stone polished concrete floors, whilst blurring the lines to multiple spirit-stirring terraces.

The heart of this extraordinary property is framed by pavilions and lush grounds with a luminescent deep pool. There’s something more powerful about the sight of water when it’s on full show with water vistas and organic light patterns, having starring roles. Coupled with the subtle use of water in between the numerous terraces, there is an innate sense of serenity to the showstopping expansive water court.

Naturally life alfresco and indoors, invite a multiplicity of entertaining options whatever the reason!

The hub of serious culinary creations and social interaction is undoubtedly the ever-so chic moody-toned kitchen with sleek benchtops. Space and sensibility are intertwined with latest designer storage ideas, as well as incomparable high-end appliances from double height wine fridge and commercial ice maker to Pitt

integrated gas cooktop and a raft of Miele’s latest.

Each pavilion draws inspiration from contemporary architecture offering its own sanctuary, meticulously and individually curated to achieve harmony and balance, while seamlessly blending smart-home technology with sustainable design.

Slip into blissful dreams with 5 prodigious options. The east wing pavilion, occupied solely by the sumptuous premier suite retreat, is all about next level luxe, privacy and breathtaking incomparable everything else. Glass walls frame the garden view; the walk-in robe is every fashionista’s dream; and the spa-like ensuite has a freestanding soaking tub, premium fixtures and dual rainwater showers.

The west wing pavilion suite retreat is of a similar style, and as per all the bathrooms has designer fixtures and premium fittings in all wet areas, tankless toilet suites with bidets. Freestanding cabinetry has integrated backlit mirrors; glassless open showers have full height tiling; and the toilet is separate.

With private access and secluded positioning around the water court are the three independent guest suites, each with integrated robes and ensuites fitted with luxury finishes, glassless showers, freestanding cabinetry and bathtubs.

The pool house pavilion is currently a dedicated gym and beauty therapist’s treatment space however with a wet bar and bathroom, the options are numerous. The laundry pavilion is commercial standard.

“The Estate is indisputable uber sophistication and luxury on tap,” exudes marketing agent Peter Te Whata, “there’s simply nothing like living or investing in a dazzling gem, so close to cafe central on the Noosa River and a few minutes more to Hastings Street, also Noosa

“The future owner is securing a home never to be repeated on a scale & intensity of The Estate’s fundamentals; guest pavilions, beauty spa, dual lane lap pool, circular driveway, gated entry & privacy.

HOME FOCUS

HEIGHT OF ELEGANCE: INDESCRIBABLE MOOD OF NATURE; CLOSE TO COSMOPOLITAN NOOSA HEADS

STEP into a world beyond the ordinary, the height of elegance and the serenity of living in a slice of paradise - a house-sized apartment in a prized location.

Expect unmissable good times, somewhat cosseted by Nature, albeit the scintillating nature reserve spilling out before your eyes and looking over the pool. Also remember it is only a four-minute stroll to a jetty on the Noosa Sound waterway, and within walking distance to Noosa Main Beach and Hastings Street.

Admire the lush gardens and pathway, and inside the powder-white curvaceous and fluted walls of the foyer and hallway. There is certainly an emphasis on capaciousness, a relentless commitment to design supremacy, craftsmanship and innovation, uncompromising sophistication as well as a vivacious personality and ageless beauty. Everything to suit the most discerning.

Balance and symmetry are accentuated by light-filled intuitive spaces, superlative finishes, a primarily neutral palette, and lashings of sheen in the high-ceilinged prodigious living and dining areas, also a leisure space, or is it a study or media room. Your choice.

Sunshine shadow dances over the Italian porcelain flooring thanks to a wall of almost disappearing doors maximising the coalescence to the main terrace with outdoor kitchen.

There are lots of entertaining options, whatever the reason or season - indoors or out where nature rules, imposing its quiet strengths through the trees, and the local birdlife trill choruses of delight.

An intelligent kitchen design is paramount especially for a culinary aficionado and serious entertainer. Think galley style with white curved stone-topped tallowwood look cabinetry incorporating an island breakfast bar, lengthy wall bench/upper cabinetry, roomy walk-in pantry, marble look splashback, also the very latest Miele appliances from wine fridge, induction cooktop, ovens, and integrated dishwasher, plus an integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge.

There are three carpeted bedrooms. The very chic premier suite retreat accesses the main terrace, so perfect for an early morning cuppa, has a fashionista-style walk-in robe, and ensuite with white stone topped two-basin tallowwood look cabinetry, also a free-standing deep bath for soaking away the blues, after a long day on the golf course.

In the north-west wing are two bedrooms with built-in robes. One has an undercover terrace with a secure gate to walk the dog or go to the residents only pool and recreational area. The main bathroom has similar styling to the ensuite, and a hidden powder room is nearby.

“The Tallow complex with 22-ultra luxury apartments is the final Settler’s Cove release,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agent Rebekah Offermann. “Designed

by Blackburne Jackson architects, it has an eyecatching entrance, lush sub-tropical landscaping with resident’s only facilities such as a heated pool and outdoor spa, fully equipped gym with change facilities, plus an undercover entertaining area with outdoor kitchen.

“First impressions do count, however with the latest smart inclusions and secure below-ground garaging for two cars, plus a lock-up store, there is so much more on offer than what meets the eye.

“The location in the cosmopolitan heart of Noosa Heads is also a huge bonus. Walk six minutes to Noosa Junction with its vibrant restaurant, cafe, and bar scene, also Noosa Main Beach, Noosa National Park and did you know the jetty is a four-minute walk away? Forget the car and book the water taxi to your favourite restaurant near or on the Noosa River.”
