Show time from today The countdown is over, the preparations are completed, and today the gates will open on another Noosa Country Show. On Friday 11 September (a public holiday in the Noosa Shire) and Saturday 12 September, Pomona Showgrounds will once again become a meeting place for our community for two days filled with animals, entertainment, competition, music, laughter and good oldfashioned country show fun. There is something wonderfully nostalgic about a country show. It might be watching a child meet a farm animal for the first time, cheering from the sidelines, admiring the talent of local exhibitors, catching up with someone you haven’t seen for ages, or simply enjoying the atmosphere with family and friends. This year’s Noosa Country Show celebrates the Year of the Horse, but the program stretches far beyond the arena. There’ll be live music and entertainment, rodeo action, woodchop, cattle and animals, classic cars, pavilion displays, sideshows, puppets, reptiles, Highland cows, rock climbing, archery and plenty to keep show-goers smiling. And, of course, Friday night wouldn’t be complete without fireworks lighting up the Pomona sky. Continued page 3

Billion-dollar boost By Steve Linnell Record international spending and strong domestic tourism have helped visitors inject more than $1.25 billion into Noosa’s economy in just 12 months. Tourism Noosa’s latest visitor forecast has revealed 2.154 million people visited the region in the year ending March 2026, generating a combined $1.256 billion in visitor spending. The figures reinforce tourism’s enormous contribution to the Noosa economy, with overnight visitors accounting for the overwhelming major-
ity of spending. Domestic overnight visitors contributed $931 million, while international visitors spent a record $179 million. More than one million daytrippers visited Noosa, contributing a further $146 million. While overnight visitors represented just over half of all visitors, they generated 88 per cent of total visitor spending, compared with 12 per cent from day-trippers. International tourism was one of the biggest success stories, with spending reaching a record $178.6 million for the year ending March.
That was a 45 per cent increase on the previous year and represented growth of 84 per cent since before the Covid-19 pandemic. International visitor nights increased by 10 per cent to 1.26 million, while average spending per international trip jumped 64 per cent to $1215. New Zealand was Noosa’s highest-spending international market, with visitors contributing $59.7 million, up 62 per cent on the previous year. The United Kingdom remained Noosa’s largest international market by visitor numbers, with spending reaching $33.2 million, an increase of
47 per cent. Noosa also increased its share of Queensland’s international visitor spending from 1.9 per cent to 2.2 per cent. The strong visitor spending figures come as Noosa heads into spring with accommodation bookings holding steady and in some periods running slightly ahead of last year. Forward bookings across Noosa Shire for September were sitting at 51 per cent as at 25 August, compared with 50 per cent at the same time last year. Continued page 2

Community picnic By Steve Linnell Sunshine Coast residents, including those from Noosa and surrounding communities, are being invited to celebrate culture, connection and belonging at a free community picnic at Cotton Tree Park later this month. The Welcoming Week Community Picnic will be held from 10am to 2pm on Sunday 20 September at Cotton Tree Park, Maroochydore, bringing together people from different cultural backgrounds for a day of food, storytelling, music and activities. The family-friendly event will feature food experiences, dance and music, storytelling, lawn games, face painting, henna art, weaving and arts and crafts. Visitors are encouraged to bring a picnic rug, family and friends and spend the day connecting with others from across the Sunshine Coast. Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the region was enriched by the many cultures, traditions and experiences that shaped its identity. “The Welcoming Week Community Picnic is an opportunity to come together in celebration of our shared love of everything that makes the Sunshine Coast a wonderful place for everyone to call
home,” Mayor Natoli said. Welcoming Week is celebrated globally each year and recognises communities working to become more welcoming and inclusive for First Nations peoples, migrants, refugees, people seeking asylum, international students and long-term residents. This year’s theme, Belonging is Everyone’s Business, focuses on the shared responsibility of creating communities where people feel valued, seen and connected. Strong Community Portfolio Councillor Taylor Bunnag said the picnic would provide an opportunity for people to build new relationships. “Belonging grows when people come together
to share experiences and learn from one another,” Cr Bunnag said. “We’re proud to work with multicultural communities, local organisations and community leaders to create opportunities where everyone feels welcome and included.” The event has been developed with multicultural communities, community organisations, the council’s Multicultural Advisory Group and emerging community leaders. The first 50 people to register will receive a complimentary traditional Turkish coffee. The free event is supported by the Queensland Government through the Celebrating Multicultural Queensland Program.
Noosa visitors give billion-dollar boost From page 1 October bookings were at 41 per cent, compared with 40 per cent last year, while November was unchanged at 30 per cent. The three-week spring school holiday period was forecast to average 50 per cent occupancy, marginally ahead of last year’s 49 per cent. The Noosa Triathlon weekend, from 31 October to 1 November, was also tracking ahead of last year, with forward occupancy at 65 per cent compared with 61 per cent. Tourism Noosa said spring bookings in Noosa were slightly stronger than those recorded across other South East Queensland local government areas. Winter also provided a solid foundation for the year ahead. Accommodation occupancy across Noosa Shire was stronger in June and July than the previous year, with July weekends averaging 72 per cent occupancy, compared with 67 per cent in 2025. Average daily accommodation rates remained steady at an average of $348 across June, July and August, matching the previous year’s figure. Visitors spent $144.1 million in Noosa during June and July alone, a 16.6 per cent increase on the previous year. That represented 46 per cent of all in-region Mastercard spending during the two-month period, with the highest-spending day falling on 4 July, coinciding with the start of the week
when Queensland, New South Wales and Victorian school holidays overlapped. Tewantin recorded the strongest increase in visitor spending among Noosa’s villages, up 34 per cent on the previous year, while spending in Noosa Heads increased 26 per cent. Sydney’s inner city, Melbourne City and Geelong were among the strongest-growing visitor markets outside the Sunshine Coast tourism region. Tourism Noosa’s report noted that changes to Tourism Research Australia’s domestic visitor data collection meant the latest domestic
visitation figures could not be directly compared with previous years. International visitor data, however, has continued to be collected using the same methodology, allowing the significant growth in overseas spending to be measured against previous years. The report shows Noosa continuing to punch above its weight as a tourism destination, with visitors contributing more than $1.25 billion to the local economy and international markets delivering record returns as the region heads towards another busy spring and summer season.

Sunshine Coast Water Police officer in charge Sergeant Kyle Bates retires. (QPS)
Water police give goodbye to leader
Vale former police commissioner Steve Gollschewski AO APM. (QPS)
Police mourn loss of former Commissioner The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is deeply saddened by the passing on Friday 4 September of former Commissioner of Police Steve Gollschewski AO APM, following a courageous battle with cancer. Across more than 46 years of service, Steve, a Peregian Beach resident, made an extraordinary contribution to policing, defined by principled leadership, integrity and enduring dedication. Acting Commissioner of Police Brett Pointing said Steve was a strategic and visionary leader, respected for his courage, professionalism and unwavering commitment to community safety. “Throughout his distinguished career, Steve
was a remarkable strategist and contemporary leader, disciplined in his thinking, measured in his decisions and guided by deeply held personal values,” Acting Commissioner Pointing said. “Steve was admired by many for his judgement, foresight and deep understanding of policing, and his impact will continue to be felt across Queensland, nationally and internationally for many years to come. “He will be remembered as an exceptional leader who used insight and innovation to strengthen the organisation and help keep the community safe. “Steve’s legacy of service, courage, integrity
and dedication will be remembered with great respect and gratitude by the many people and communities influenced by him.” With a career spanning more than 46 years, former Commissioner Gollschewski was the third longest serving police officer in QPS history. The QPS extends its sincerest condolences to Steve’s family, friends, colleagues and all who knew him during this difficult time. Former Commissioner Gollschewski was appointed Queensland’s 21st Police Commissioner on 22 April 2024 and retired on 20 February 2026.
Sergeant Kyle Bates has been piped out as Officer in Charge of Sunshine Coast Water Police last Friday, marking the end of four decades of service with the Queensland Police Service (QPS). After beginning his career in the Brisbane Bayside area, Sergeant Bates joined the Sunshine Coast Water Police as the Officer In Charge at its inception in 1995. He says he didn’t know much about Water Police when he was offered the opportunity, but he’s thankful it’s where he ultimately spent the majority of his career. “I was the search and rescue coordinator for the Sunshine Coast, so I was fairly extensively involved in many high-profile searches in the area, including the search for Daniel Morcombe.” Sergeant Bates said it’s hard to pinpoint career milestones, but the camaraderie and mateship among his colleagues are the highlight of his time with QPS. “The ranks disappear and the friendships you form in this job stick around, that’s what I’ll take away from my time with QPS,” he said. “Especially in the Water Police, these are people that have got your back when you’re out doing the jobs that are a bit tough.” As to what he’s most looking forward to in retirement, Sergeant Bates said he can’t wait to kick his feet up. “It’s going to be a whole new world not keeping an ear out for the phone in the middle of the night,” he said. “I’m excited to spend more time with my family, especially my grandkids.” At his piping out ceremony today, Sergeant Bates was also awarded an Exemplary Conduct Medal with an Officer in Charge Clasp.

Aerial firefighters are ready for action By Steve Linnell Aerial firefighting crews based in Cooroy are on standby as Queensland’s bushfire season gets underway, with hot and dry conditions forecast across parts of South East Queensland. McDermott Aviation has prepared a fleet of 23 aircraft for the 2026 bushfire season, with aircraft positioned across five states and ready to be deployed as fire conditions change. The company’s Sunshine Coast base at Cooroy is home to one of three aircraft currently contracted for Queensland operations, while two others are based at Toowoomba. The aircraft can be rapidly deployed to fires across Queensland and elsewhere in Australia, providing aerial support to firefighters working to protect communities, homes, properties and the environment. The preparations come as temperatures are forecast to climb above 30 degrees across parts of South East Queensland this weekend and authorities warn of heightened fire risk in several regions. The Noosa hinterland, with its mix of forest, rural properties and bushland, is among the areas where residents are being urged to remain prepared as the warmer months approach. The national Spring 2026 Seasonal Bushfire Outlook has identified heightened fire risk across South East Queensland, northern and south-eastern New South Wales, north-eastern Tasmania, parts of Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria, as well as large areas of the Northern Territory. The Bureau of Meteorology is also forecasting above-average temperatures across most of
Australia during spring, while rainfall is expected to be below average across parts of southern and eastern Australia. McDermott Aviation founder and president John McDermott said preparation was the key to responding to what could be a challenging season. “Every fire season is different and our job isn’t to predict what is going to happen. Our job is to be prepared and to make sure we have the people, aircraft and support capability ready when we’re called on,” he said. The company will have five aircraft contracted in Victoria, five in Tasmania, nine in Western Australia and one in New South Wales as the season progresses. Its Queensland fleet includes Bell 214ST and Bell 214B heavy-lift helicopters, along with AS355 Twin Squirrels and Dauphins. The heavy-lift helicopters can carry large quantities of water for firebombing operations, working alongside ground crews to slow the spread of fires and give firefighters greater opportunities to contain them. “Our aircraft work alongside the firefighters and emergency services on the ground, helping them contain fires and protect what matters,” Mr McDermott said. “Ultimately, this work is about helping keep people and communities safe and protecting homes, property, critical infrastructure, livestock, native wildlife and the environment.” McDermott Aviation has been involved in aerial firefighting for decades and its operations are supported by in-house engineering and maintenance teams. Mr McDermott said the 23-aircraft deploy-
ment represented a major logistical operation involving pilots, engineers, ground crews, operations staff and support teams. “Having 23 aircraft contracted across five states is a significant operation, but there is a lot more behind that number than the aircraft themselves,” he said. “We have pilots, engineers, ground crews, operations staff and support teams working across the country to keep those aircraft serviceable, positioned and ready to respond.” With bushfire conditions capable of changing rapidly, the company’s specialist teams will continue to maintain aircraft and crews throughout the season, allowing aircraft to be repositioned as operational requirements change. For communities across Noosa and the Sunshine Coast, the aerial firefighting presence at Cooroy provides an important local capability should aircraft be required during a major fire. McDermott Aviation, established in 1982 and headquartered on the Sunshine Coast, is Australia’s largest privately owned helicopter operator. The company has a fleet of more than 60 aircraft and employs more than 300 people globally, with operations including aerial firefighting, heavy lifting, agricultural spraying, infrastructure support, emergency response, tourism and training. Mr McDermott said the company was proud to continue supporting emergency services and communities during fire season. “We are incredibly proud of the role our team plays during fire season and proud to continue supporting communities across Australia,” he said.
Speeding driver fined twice within minutes A 23-year-old Noosa man has received more than $3,100 in fines after being detected speeding twice within 10 minutes by State and local Highway Patrol officers. Officers from State Highway Patrol intercepted the man about 4.15pm, after observing him overtaking at 155km/h in a 100km/h zone on the Bruce Highway near Coles Creek. Police issued the man with a traffic infringement notice for the high-end speeding offence, carrying a penalty of eight demerit points, a six-month licence suspension, and a $1,986 fine. QP2601515919 refers. Upon intercepting man, the officers also noticed the vehicle had an illegally altered licence plate and the driver was fined a further $345. QP2601516102 refers. Less than 10 minutes after receiving the fine from State Highway Patrol, officers from Gympie Highway Patrol detected the driver travelling 90km/h in a 60km/h zone on the Old Bruce Highway near Traveston. The driver received a further traffic infringement notice for exceeding the speed limit by more than 20km/h, but less than 30km/h, and received a further four-demerit-point penalty and $777 fine. QP2601516062 refers. Acting Inspector Specialist Operations Paul Kelly said being intercepted for speeding twice in such a short timeframe demonstrates a severe disregard for road safety. “It is always disappointing to see a driver travelling at such high speeds. However, to be intercepted again for speeding just minutes after the first intercept shows a complete disregard for the law, the driver’s own safety, and the safety of other road users,” Acting Inspector Kelly said. “Speed limits exist to protect all road users, and choosing to ignore them is a reckless action which risks lives. “This behaviour is unacceptable, and police will continue to take enforcement action against those who choose to endanger lives on Queensland roads.

Hometown boy’s world views By Margie Maccoll Former Australian Prime Minister, US Ambassador and now CEO of Asia Society and founder of a think tank focused on US-Asia relations, Kevin Rudd, returned to his home town last Saturday as a keynote speaker at the Eumundi Writers Festival. Interviewed by Betoota Advocate editor Clancy Overell at the Imperial Hotel, Kevin spoke to a packed audience about growing up in Eumundi, even recalling Eumundi Primary’s war cry, before moving on to politics, his current role and a well-publicised encounter with US President Donald Trump. “It’s just good to be home,” he said. “Since I left political life I’ve been in America most of the time.” Kevin’s mum was born in Mapleton, his dad came from Wagga Wagga but after WWII was convinced by a mate to cut cane around the Bli Bli area and met Kevin’s mum at a dance at Valdora Hall. When Kevin was a boy, Eumundi “was a serious Country Party town”. His father was a member of the Country Party, also a member of Freemasons and president of the Bowling Club. Describing Kevin as a “great retail politician”, Clancy asked if his ability “to meet voters where they’re at” came from his country town upbringing. “Growing up in a town like this you become embedded in the local community. Engaging all those folks is natural, normal daily life,” Kevin said. “Australia is just that on a larger scale. If you can’t do that, you shouldn’t be in the business. “However people vote, most people are decent in this town. You just engage them as human beings.” When Clancy asked who gave him the belief he could be Prime Minister, Kevin said his primary school principal planted the seed in his mind one day saying “when Kev is Prime Minister ...”. His father had other ideas, asking him at age 10, as they rode horseback on the family farm, whether he’d made up his mind for his future - “beef or dairy”, but Kevin knew a career in animal husbandry was never on his radar. It was his mother who opened his eyes to the world and spiked his interest in China, through books. In high school Kevin wrote to then Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, asking: “I think one day I’d like to become a diplomat. How do I do that?” Gough writes back, telling him - first you should go to university, you should study a foreign language, then you should apply to join the department of foreign affairs. Relaying this story years later to Gough, he roared with laughter, Kevin said. “O Kevin, you Queenslanders, you always respond to authority”, he told him. But Kevin followed Gough’s advice, studied Asian language at university and was accepted into the Department of Foreign Affairs. Then he was sent to the embassy in Beijing, a job that first introduced him to China president Xi Jinping, who was then a vice-mayor. They engaged further when Kevin was Prime Minister. In 2022 he was awarded his PhD from Oxford University for his dissertation on Xi Jinping’s ideological worldview and in 2024 published a book, ‘On Xi Jinping’. Kevin was asked his view on the US and about a
Kevin Rudd with Clancy Overell at The Imperial at Eumundi. particular media conference he attended while US ambassador, with President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Americans for 10 years have been having a massive internal debate about two things - what sort of country they want to be, what role they want to play in the world, he said. The US is still full of good people. You see a lot
of extremism on media. We need to have patience while they work through their national debate. As an ambassador you have a job to do, he said. “The job was to prosecute our interests, defend our interests, protect our interests, make sure what we’ve been doing for last three-quarters of a century can continue into the future, for economic and core security interests. You work with the
administration of the day,” he said. “The day in question was a bucket load of fun.” Mr Albanese was meeting President Donald Trump and cabinet secretaries in a cabinet room next to the Oval Office. Kevin was also there. “Trump has this style, he brings you in, without having a conversation, he brings in the world’s media,” Kevin said.

“Trump has the capacity to pitch to these guys. Forty-five minutes into this, it’s going extremely well. This bloke from Sky says, ‘what about this guy here (that’s me) and the things he said about you.’ “Trump says, ‘I don’t like you, I never will like you’. “Very soon after, he calls an end to the conference. “He turns to Albo and says, ‘so who is this guy’. Albo says, ‘that’s Kevin, he’s our ambassador’. Trump leans across and says, ‘he looks like a nice guy to me’. Albo says, ‘he is a nice guy, that’s why I sent him here. He also used to be my boss’. “Trump says, ‘he looks like a nice guy. All’s forgiven. It’s fine’. That was within five minutes.” After three years as US ambassador Kevin decided not to continue in the role but to work on a think tank he’d founded with the Asia Society, focusing on US-China relations, working with administrations of countries on how you preserve the peace. Returning to domestic politics, Clancy asked Kevin how he avoided “the sugar hits”, delivering utopian policies such as - slashing immigration will make life better. Kevin said he chose to use reason instead. “When you look at this phenomenon. There’s always been a racist element in Australian society, about 5-10 per cent. “What’s caused it to change? One thing - people struggling with cost of living. “People sense their living standards are going backwards. They become susceptible to simplistic arguments, like it’s because of them - migrants. Vote for us and problem fixed. That’s simple logic. “What’s the biggest chuck of cost of living pressure - housing - young people, middle aged people not being able to buy a house, or rent a decent property. I regard the housing market in the last 15-20 years as the biggest example of market failure - the inability to deliver reasonable, affordable accommodation for people to rent or buy. “When Therese and I started out, we worked and saved, put a deposit on house. “Why are people angry? You can’t get a start. It’s a national market failure for which all levels of government have some responsibility. “If we could add a couple of hundred units a year, people’s standards of living would improve, and circumstances that give rise to populism
would be quenched and we would be back to 5-10 per cent racism. It’s a massive failure and governments must intervene. “The ultimate example of a successful economy in the region is Singapore, through massive government intervention. If they can do it we can too.” Kevin also blamed media for a rise in populism by focusing on sensationalist, negative views instead of providing people a balanced view of what’s happening in the community and across the nation. “The nation’s challenges are so vast at present. National security circumstances are changing at a pace of knots in the Indo-Pacific region, the strategic contest between China and US intensifies every day of the week, the AI revolution is unfolding. Climate change is not a fiction of someone’s imagination. Look at the fires in Europe, look at what’s happened in Nepal, look at extreme weather events. These things are happening. “What is necessary is for our political leadership to be given the space, the opportunity and the level of accommodation from national media to embrace these big challenges and engage them, rather than the day to day circus of minor scandal, because it trivialises our political discourse when these mega-challenges are out there trying to be wrestled to the ground. And I know a lot of good folk in Canberra are seeking to do that but the space allowed them to do that contracts, so therefore we need to have intelligent, grown up national conversations and the ability for national resolve and action. “We can do it. “When war broke out in 1939 we were in existential difficulty. Political leadership at the time, brought the country together rapidly and created national armaments manufacturing system capable, with the US, of defending the country. “We need an environment that enables political leaders to survive and thrive and tackle the big stuff not just be pulled down into the weeds every day because it’s the path to ruination and decline. “I look into the eyes of my granddaughter and think what the hell are we going to leave you, and that animates many of us to be active in public life however successfully or unsuccessfully our contribution may be.”

In harmony with nature In 2007, Noosa Shire became the first site in Queensland to be awarded UNESCO biosphere reserve status, because of its balance between environmental conservation and sustainable human development. Noosa Council established the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) in 2015 as a not-for-profit organisation to progress, here in Noosa, the global aims of the UNESCO Man and Biosphere programme. “Today’s challenges are significant with biodiversity loss, climate change and the increasing pressures on natural systems,” NBRF general manager Anna Macklin said. “The ‘Live Like you Love it’ campaign was recently rolled out to encourage great stewardship amongst locals and visitors. “For those of us who are fortunate to live in the Noosa Shire, it is our responsibility to ensure our Biosphere remains healthy, resilient and inspiring for future generations.” Anna Macklin, will be the guest speaker at the Tewantin Noosa Probus Club’s meeting on Tuesday 22 September. “With a background spanning tourism, education, events and strategic communications, Anna has called Noosa home for nearly 30 years. She has a deep personal connection to the community and the natural environment that makes Noosa so very special,” club president Joy Fenty said. “A large part of my role involves helping people better understand what it means to live and work and visit an UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. I work closely with partners across the wider region to strengthen Noosa’s position as a place where community, science, innovation and nature can work together,” Anna said. “I work with community groups, researchers, businesses, government and local organisations to help and strengthen Noosa’s internationally recognised UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. “Connecting young people with the Biosphere, supporting First Nation’s engagement, conservation projects and creating opportunities for community participation are initiatives I am particularly passionate about.

The awards celebrate the individuals, schools, community groups and businesses doing inspirational work across the Noosa Biosphere Reserve.” The meeting will be held on Tuesday 22 September from 10am, for morning tea ($6), presentation at 10.30am at Tewantin Noosa RSL.

Doonella Lake Bridge Upgrade An Eat, Shop, Love Tewantin campaign is giving a boost to the village while bridge work progresses. (Supplied)
Expect delays, plan ahead, use alternative routes where possible.
July - December 2026**weather permitting Built in 1968, this bridge requires work to strengthen the structure and extend its life by another 50 years. A single-lane closure is in place until December. Some night works are also planned to minimise disruption.
During works, the bridge will operate under traffic lights, allowing TWO-WAY traffic over a single-lane between Tewantin and Noosaville. Marine access will be closed. Pedestrian/cycle walkway remains open.

Tewantin is buzzing with Eat, Shop, Love Entries are flooding in for the Eat, Shop, Love Tewantin campaign. Businesses have embraced the concept, where shoppers spend $20 at any store in Poinciana Avenue, Noosa Marina and Hilton Terrace to go into the draw for the chance to win $500 vouchers to spend at one of the three precincts. Manager Economic Development Lynne Banford said the response in the first week has been overwhelming. “It’s put a real focus on what’s available in Tewantin including the great shopping, dining and services,” she said. “Trade at some shops has been impacted by the ongoing bridge works and other factors, so we’re hoping through this campaign, the com-
munity shows its support and continues to shop local,” she said. The Eat, Shop, Love Tewantin initiative runs until 11 October. Competition details are available on the council website or at participating stores. The upgrade to the bridge is making good progress, as contractors take full advantage of the fine weather. The retaining wall base slab on the northern lane is in place. They’ve continued the hydro demolition of defective concrete, which involves using high-pressure water jets to remove deteriorated concrete on the piles. They’ve also started more encasement work on the existing piles.

Police are honoured for courage By Steve Linnell More than 130 Queensland Police Service members have been recognised for outstanding service, courage and dedication at the Sunshine Coast District Honours and Awards Ceremony. The ceremony, held on Thursday 3 September, acknowledged officers and staff from across the district, which includes the Noosa region, with awards recognising everything from exceptional bravery and life-changing injuries to decades of service to the community. Recipients were presented with the National Medal, National Police Service Medal, Assistant Commissioner Certificate, District Officer Certificate, Russell Sheehan Memorial Award, Blue Heart Medal and Queensland Police Service Medal clasps recognising between 15 and 40 years of service. Among the most poignant moments of the ceremony was the presentation of two Blue Heart Medals to the families of late Senior Constable Shayne Gill and late Constable Les McCosh, who were both killed while serving in the line of duty. Former Senior Constable Leonard Elliot was also recognised with a Blue Heart Medal after suffering life-changing injuries while working at a random breath testing site at Beerwah on 18 April 2014. Senior Constable Elliot was struck by a motorcycle and sustained serious injuries, resulting in the loss of his lower right leg.
A Blue Heart Medal was also awarded to Senior Protective Service Officer Paul Rohweder, who suffered severe injuries after being deliberately struck by a motorcycle rider attempting to evade police on the Sunshine Coast in August 2000. Detective Senior Constable Katie Tomlins, from the Sunshine Coast Child Protection Investigation Unit, received the Russell Sheehan Memorial Award for her professionalism, dependability, work ethic and contribution as a team member. The award honours the memory of late Detective Senior Constable Russell Sheehan, who died in December 2015, and recognises detectives from the Sunshine Coast District Criminal Investigation Branch and Child Protection Investigation Unit who demonstrate similar qualities. Sunshine Coast District Officer Superintendent Craig Hawkins said the awards provided an important opportunity to acknowledge work that often went unnoticed. “Bravery, tenacity, and professional conduct are qualities reflected in many of the decisions and actions taken every day by our police in the face of tragedy, senseless acts of violence, disasters and more,” he said. “Today is a chance to recognise the contributions and commitment of these outstanding officers in keeping the Sunshine Coast community safe.” Superintendent Hawkins said he was proud to lead and work alongside the award recipients.

Keeping Noosa smiling For families across Noosa, great dental care shouldn’t mean a long drive down the highway or a different clinic for every treatment. On Gibson Road in the heart of Noosaville - look for the blue signs above Harvey Norman - Noosaville Family Dental has become the practice locals recommend to their neighbours: a place where a child’s first check-up, a smile makeover and a grandparent’s denture care all happen under the one roof. Having expanded and relocated in 2018 into a purpose-built, state-of-the-art clinic, the practice is a true one-stop shop for every dental need. The clinicians behind it are among the most experienced on the Sunshine Coast, collectively covering many dental disciplines, and every dentist undertakes continual professional development to stay at the forefront of the field. What patients notice first, though, is the wel-
come. This is a practice built on truly personalised service: the team listens, understands, and explains options in plain language before anything begins, shaping a custom treatment plan around each person’s needs, budget and timeline rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule. Nervous patients are welcomed with particular care, and questions are encouraged at every step. The aim is simple - patient-centred care that leaves people feeling valued, understood and respected, with visits patients can genuinely enjoy. Behind the relaxed atmosphere sits serious technology. Intraoral cameras and on-site OPG and CBCT scanners mean patients no longer need a referral — or a trip out of town — for indepth dental X-rays, while EMS Airflow equipment delivers gentle, non-invasive gum treatment and care; Noosaville Family Dental is the
only dentist in Noosaville to offer it. Together these tools allow the team to plan, diagnose and treat in a way that is streamlined, comfortable and convenient. Prevention comes first: the practice encourages everyone to visit regularly for a check-up and clean, because keeping your natural teeth healthy is always the preferred option. Beyond that, the service list reads like a one-stop shop - comprehensive check-ups and cleans, mercury-free fillings, children’s dentistry, hygiene services, root canal treatment, wisdom teeth removal, crowns and bridges, veneers, teeth whitening, dental implants, denture stabilisation and emergency care. First-class treatment without compromise, for every dental need now and in the future. Affordability is part of the care. Quotes are honest and transparent, HICAPS claims are processed on the spot, and the prac-
tice works with all major health funds as well as the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Flexible payment plans through Humm and AfterPay split treatment into manageable amounts, and eligible children aged 2–17 are bulk billed under Medicare’s Child Dental Benefits Schedule. The friendly front desk team is always happy to talk through the option that suits best. New patients are always welcome. Phone (07) 5449 8619, book online at noosavillefamilydental.com.au, or visit the practice at 4/7–9 Gibson Road, Noosaville, Monday to Friday, 8:30am– 5pm. Whether it is time for a routine clean or for treatment long put off, the team looks forward to meeting you - and to keeping Noosa smiling for years to come.

Wishlist carnival delivers Wishlist Spring Carnival has delivered a big win for women’s health. With more than $415,000 raised last Friday Wishlist can now order lifechanging and lifesaving equipment. This will help diagnose and treat women with breast cancer and endometriosis – as well as deliver other high needs items on the Wishlist – as identified by medical staff and patients. Wishlist CEO Brendan Hogan said the 17th Wishlist Spring Carnival has achieved its aim to deliver vital medical equipment and make health care for local women even better and close to home. “I’d also like thank our sponsors whose
support made this iconic event possible – including major sponsors Pacific Land Rover and Travis Schultz & Partners, alongside Poole Group, Toomey Family Law, Billy J, KPAT Hotels, Loanright Financial Services, Ray White Maroochydore and Buderim, and proudly supported by Event Sponsors Sunshine Coast Convention Centre & Encore,” Brendan said. “Wishlist is the Sunshine Coast and Gympie’s local hospital charity and proceeds from the Wishlist Spring Carnival go towards improving our five public hospitals.” Top of the list is the Sentimag surgical guidance system, shared between Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) and Gympie Hospital, which will use magnetic fields to locate
tumours and lymph nodes. Clinical Director Surgery and Critical Care for Sunshine Coast Health, Dr. Emilia Dauway said the surgical tool will be a gamechanger for patients. “This new technology is going to transform the breast cancer journey for our patients at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, and Gympie Hospital,” Dr Dauway said. “This new Sentimag will allow our surgeons, with precision, to remove less breast tissue, preserving the breast.” The funds raised by Wishlist Spring Carnival will also support the purchase of Myosure and hysteroscope equipment to assist with the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis —
enabling minimally invasive procedures with shorter surgical times, fewer complications, and faster recovery for local women. Wishlist Spring Carnival Chair Dan Sowden said Wishlist was built on one simple but powerful question, asked of our medical teams: “How can we help, and what do you need?” “And while the needs of our health workers will continue to grow, so too must our efforts. Wishlist Spring Carnival has no finish line.” To attend next year’s event go to Wishlist EOI Spring Carnival 2027 To be involved as a sponsor, please contact Simone Bell at Wishlist 0401 620 077 simone. bell2@health.qld.gov.au
Donation kickstarts new Sunshine Coast Community Fund By Steve Linnell The Buderim Foundation is expanding its philanthropic reach across the Sunshine Coast with the launch of a new permanent investment fund designed to support community organisations for generations to come. The Sunshine Coast Community Fund will operate alongside the Foundation’s existing Buderim Community Fund and Thompson Charitable Fund, broadening the organisation’s ability to provide grants to groups and initiatives across the region. Buderim Foundation chairman Rick Woods said the new fund built on more than $10 million already invested through the Foundation. “Since our first grants distribution in 2008, we’ve awarded more than $3.17 million to local organisations, and the new Sunshine Coast Community Fund will help us grow that impact across the region,” Mr Woods said. The new fund will accept tax-deductible donations and distribute investment earnings as
grants to eligible community organisations. Under the Foundation’s model, donations and bequests are professionally invested while the principal capital is preserved, allowing investment earnings to be returned to the community through ongoing grants programs. Mr Woods said the structure was designed to turn today’s generosity into long-term benefits for Sunshine Coast communities. “This is really exciting for us as one of Australia’s leading regional community foundations which specifically focuses on Buderim and the Sunshine Coast,” he said. “The Buderim Foundation connects your generosity with community impact through a philanthropic model built for sustainability.” The Sunshine Coast Community Fund will also broaden eligibility for grants by supporting some non-registered charitable organisations undertaking charitable activities, potentially opening opportunities for sports, recreation and other community groups. Donors making larger contributions will also

(Supplied) 576208_02 be able to establish sub-funds targeting grants to particular Sunshine Coast towns and communities. The new fund has already received a significant boost, with long-term Sunshine Coast residents Rick and Lynne Bronson contributing $100,000.
Mr Bronson said the couple had been impressed by the Foundation’s philanthropic model and governance. “The new Sunshine Coast Community Fund is the perfect vehicle for us,” he said. “It ensures our current donation and future bequest will support worthy local communities in perpetuity.” The Thompson Charitable Fund will continue to support organisations assisting people experiencing hardship, including through emergency housing, food and other essentials. The Foundation has also unveiled a refreshed visual identity to coincide with the launch. Mr Woods said the new branding remained grounded in the Buderim Mountain landscape while representing “optimism, energy and growth”. “Together the new fund and our refreshed visual identity show how we, as a community and Foundation, are committed to providing a brighter future and helping Sunshine Coast communities thrive,” he said.

Volunteer expo By Steve Linnell Noosa residents looking for a way to give back to their community will have plenty of opportunities to explore when more than 50 local not-for-profit organisations come together for the inaugural Noosa Volunteers Connect Expo. The event will be held at the Noosa Leisure Centre on Saturday, September 26, from 10am to 2pm, giving potential volunteers the chance to meet organisations face-to-face and find out how they can get involved. Local sporting clubs, environmental groups, emergency services and community organisations will be among those represented at the expo, with a range of volunteer roles on offer. Noosa Council Community Connection Manager Alison Hamblin said the event was designed to connect people who wanted to help with organisations that relied on volunteers. “Dozens of local organisations, including sporting clubs, environmental groups, emergency services and community organisations, will be there to talk about the different ways people can get involved and support their community,” she said. Ms Hamblin said volunteering could provide much more than an opportunity to help others. “If you’ve been thinking about volunteering, whether it’s to give back, learn something new, meet people or support a cause you care about, this is a great place to start,” she said. The benefits of volunteering are being demonstrated by Noosa teenager Gracie Springer, whose experience with the State Emergency Service has helped shape her career ambitions. Gracie joined the SES in January last year while she was in Year 12 and was unsure about what she wanted to do after finishing school. She recently was named the 2026 SES Young Member of the Year for the North Coast region. “I joined the SES because I wanted to get involved in the community and help people out in times of need and it really helped me decide to pursue a career as a firefighter,” Gracie said. Weekly SES training has given her practical
(Supplied) 575826_01 skills and experience while also providing an opportunity to work alongside people of different ages and backgrounds. “Volunteering with the SES I’ve gained more confidence and learnt more about teamwork and people of all different ages and experiences,” she said. “It’s been so rewarding being a volunteer and being able to help my community.” Gracie encouraged other young people – and anyone considering volunteering – to simply take the first step. “If you’ve been thinking about it, just do it,” she said. “You’ll always be learning useful skills and everyone is willing to chat and share their knowledge and experiences. Volunteering is so rewarding and also very fun.” For Noosa Men’s Shed volunteer Michael Barrington, volunteering has been a way to pursue his interests while building new friendships. Michael joined the Men’s Shed more than two years ago, initially wanting to learn more about amateur radio, metalworking and woodworking. But he soon discovered the social benefits of being part of the group. “I’m fairly introverted and spend a lot of
(Supplied) 575826_02 time working from home, so it was a great opportunity to meet people and be around others with similar interests,” he said. Michael has since helped with IT support, amateur radio activities and projects around the Shed. He said he had been surprised by how welcoming the organisation was. “There are people from all sorts of backgrounds with a huge range of skills and experience and everyone is very happy to share what they know or help someone learn something new,” he said. Michael said volunteering did not have to mean making a major commitment. “Just give it a go. You can get involved as much or as little as suits you,” he said.
“Even if you join because there’s something you want to learn, you’ll probably find opportunities to help other people along the way.” Research has also linked volunteering with benefits including improved wellbeing, reduced social isolation, increased confidence and a stronger sense of purpose. Visitors to the Noosa Volunteers Connect Expo will be able to speak directly with volunteer coordinators, learn about available positions and register their interest, with some organisations able to begin the onboarding process on the day. The expo is open to anyone interested in volunteering, while Noosa-based not-for-profit organisations wanting to take part can contact commdev@noosa.qld.gov.au

Healthy smiles in Noosa Don’t wait until you’re in pain to visit the dentist. Life gets busy. It’s easy to put off a dental appointment when your teeth feel fine, but not all dental problems have obvious symptoms in the beginning. Problems such as tooth decay and gum disease can happen quickly without any noticeable issues and can really become a problem if you’re not visiting your dentist regularly. We recommend regular dental visits so your dentist can catch any changes early and provide advice or treatment before a small concern becomes a bigger one. In many cases, early intervention can mean simpler treatment, less discomfort and fewer unexpected interruptions to your busy schedule.
Good habits are important. Preventative dental care is also important at home. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes, flossing daily and being mindful of how often you consume sugary foods and drinks all contribute to a healthier smile. Making good oral health habits part of your everyday routine can make a big difference. We also recommend visiting us for regular hygiene treatments so you can keep your teeth and gums healthy and fresh. Professional hygiene cleans can help to remove plaque and tartar that can be difficult to remove by brushing and flossing at home. Make dental care routine. Let’s face it, we’re all more likely to stick to something when it becomes part of our rou-
tine. Just like regular exercise, looking after your teeth is something that benefits from being consistent. At Maven Dental Noosa Junction our team provides comprehensive dental care for the whole family, with a focus on helping patients maintain their oral health for the long term. Whether you’re due for a check-up, it’s been a while since your last visit, or you have a concern you’ve been putting off we can help you stay one step ahead. Conveniently located in the heart of Noosa Junction on Lanyana Way, Maven Dental Noosa Junction makes it easy to fit dental care into your routine. Book your next dental check-up with us and keep your smile ready for whatever the Noosa lifestyle brings.

With so much to enjoy in Noosa, the last thing anyone wants is a dental problem getting in the way. At Maven Dental Noosa Junction, we’re all about preventative dental care and helping our patients stay on top of their oral health with regular dental check-ups. Keeping up with regular dental check-ups can help identify potential problems early, before they become painful or require urgent attention. As a local dental practice, we’re proud to care for the smiles of our Noosa community and help our patients enjoy a healthy smile for years to come.

The Guide DEATH VALLEY ABC TV, Friday, 8.20pm
PICK OF THE WEEK
In deep water: Sydney Harbour Cops highlights the work of NSW Police’s Marine Area Command.
This witty take on the manymurders-in-a-quaint-British-village genre stars Timothy Spall as John Chapel, a retired actor best known for playing TV detective Inspector Charles Caesar. When one of his neighbours turns up dead, the reclusive star devises a theory that an ulterior motive is at play and gets roped into helping solve the reallife crime. Acting as his perky foil and dragging him into the case is detective Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth, pictured with Spall), who also happens to be Chapel’s biggest fan. An especially enjoyable entry into the cosy murder genre, this Welsh series bubbles along thanks to a bristling chemistry between its leads, even if the set ups do get a trifle ridiculous at times.
MEL GIEDROYC: UNFORGIVABLE SBS2, Wednesday, 9.35pm
SYDNEY HARBOUR COPS 10, Tuesday, 7.30pm
It may sound like the plot of a high-octane Hollywood thriller – shark sightings, drug smugglers, missing persons, boat fires and dramatic rescues – but that’s all in a day’s work for the NSW Marine Area Command. The elite unit of officers patrols Sydney Harbour and NSW’s waterways, and this new observational series shadows them through life-or-death emergencies, surprising situations and unique investigations. Whether they are managing the thousands of boats that descend on the harbour for New Year’s Eve, deploying sonar to search for sunken vehicles or teaming up with Taronga Zoo to release rehabilitated sea turtles, it’s an unpredictable look at what happens beyond the postcard views.
Audiences familiar with Mel Giedroyc’s sunny and wholesome persona as the original co-host of The Great British Bake Off might be slightly shocked by the comedian’s edgier approach to this panel show. Inviting celebrities to confess their most unforgivable acts, shameful anecdotes and embarrassing moments, Giedroyc sits on a throne and assigns points as her utterly unpredictable sidekick Lou Sanders (pictured right with Giedroyc) keeps score. Graham Norton gets the ball rolling in this premiere, revealing a lie to his mother that went too far, while Desiree Burch and Alex Brooker also share mortifying mishaps. It’s essentially just another chat show, but with a silly and saucy twist that makes it worthwhile.

Priceless value of volunteering President and Lions Eye Health Program District Chair Nick Cooke to share the benefits of being part of something bigger and helping make the community a better place. “Among the many highlights of volunteering for me include being part of the historic King of the Mountain, the Pomona Night of Lights, and projects close to my heart like the Lions Eye Health Program, which has helped hundreds of children locally with their vision,” he said. Volunteering with community radio station Noosa FM has struck the right chord for Tyler Harford, giving him a creative outlet to share his passion for music and people.

Did you know there’s a simple way to boost your physical and mental wellbeing, meet new people and find greater purpose in your day-to-day life? More than 9.5 million Australians have discovered it through volunteering and you can explore the possibilities at the Noosa Connect Volunteers Expo on 26 September at the Noosa Leisure
Centre from 10am-2pm. The free event will bring together more than 50 local not-for-profit organisations, creating a onestop shop for residents to explore volunteer opportunities with sporting clubs, environmental groups, emergency services and community organisations. It’s a chance for volunteers like Cooroy Pomona Lions Club
“One of the highlights has been hearing from listeners who enjoy the music or who are learning of new styles and music that I play. It’s also been great getting to know other volunteers who are passionate about what they do,” he said. “I’d encourage anyone who’s thinking about volunteering to jump in. You never know who you’ll meet, what you’ll learn, or where the experience might take you.
In Brief Living foreshore work underway Work has begun on the Hilton Esplanade Living Foreshore Pilot, following community feedback that strongly supported protecting the river and foreshore. At a community pop-up on 20 August, Council shared more information about the planned revegetation and sand nourishment works, which will trial nature-based approaches to improving foreshore resilience. The pilot is being delivered as part of the Living Foreshore workstream within Council’s Hilton Esplanade Street Improvement Project. The project is supported by QCoast2100 funding from the Queensland Government, delivered by the Local Government Association of Queensland in association with Noosa Council.

Cruising into the past Odyssey director Christopher Nolan took movie-goers on a trip into Greek mythology and history and Viking would like to do the same. The cruise-line has a 15-day Ancient Mediterranean Antiquities voyage from Istanbul to Rome and Visa Versa. It’s a chance to delve into Greek and Roman history – to kind of travel back in time. The cruise visits legendary ports of three fascinating countries that combines Ancient Mediterranean Treasures and Journey to Antiquities. Overnight in historic Istanbul, where East meets West along the Bosphorus Strait. It’s a city that exudes a fascinating mix of Western and Eastern cultures. Its strategic locale led to its role as a significant center of trade— eventually becoming a cultural crossroads along the world-famous Silk Road. One of the city’s stunning centerpieces is Hagia Sophia, founded as a basilica, converted to a mosque, then a museum; it is now a mosque again and features exquisite mosaics and frescoes. The city’s Grand Bazaar offers a rich taste of Turkish culture, from a vast selection of carpets and fabric to luscious dates and the local sweet favorite, Turkish Delight. Marvel at the well-preserved ruins of ancient Troy or visit the battlefields of Gallipoli and enjoy two nights in iconic Athens. Sail the fabled Ionian Sea and discover the cultural splendors of southern Italy. Stop at Çanakkale a region that was an object of desire dating back to the ancient Greeks. Today, the nearby ruins of Troy, once a powerhouse of Asia Minor, provide a glimpse of the region’s former glory. The remarkably preserved structures of this UNESCO World Heritage Site offer hints of life here in the days of Alexander the Great and the later Roman Emperor Augustus. But it is the fabled Trojan Horse that is most prominent here. In Homer’s Iliad, the wooden steed gave ancient Greeks entry to the city during the Trojan War, and its legend is still very much alive today. And of course Athens has been called the “birthplace of democracy.” Its legacy looms large from atop Acropolis Hill, the pinnacle of ancient Greece. This open air museum is an astonishing repository of once-mighty structures. From its colonnaded Parthenon—built more than 2,600 years ago—revered Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle formulated new ideas of government and debated its role in civic life to captivated audiences. Remnants of spiritual life are also here in the several temples to Athena and Zeus.

Idol winner makes return Australian Idol winner Marshall Hamburger has returned to the Sunshine Beach school where his musical journey began, joining the judging panel for St Thomas More Primary School’s annual Arts Night. The former St Thomas More student came full circle this week as a guest judge for St Thomas More’s Got Talent, with the school community gathering for a night celebrating creativity, music and performance. With a red carpet, spotlights, sizzling sau-
sages and a media wall setting the scene, the event opened with student artwork transforming the venue into a colourful gallery showcasing the talents of young artists. The St Thomas More Band then set the tone with a lively performance of ABBA’s Mamma Mia before 20 finalists took to the stage. Marshall joined former St Thomas More music teacher Phil Cowen and current teacher Rachel Wilde on the judging panel as students competed across singing, dancing, instrumen-
tal music, drama and original performance. While the judges considered their decision, families enjoyed a dance showcase featuring performers from St Thomas More Catholic Primary School and St Teresa’s Catholic College. After what was described as a difficult decision, Daisy was named Junior Champion and Annabella took out the Senior title, while Maya and Kyrie were runners-up. The evening ended on a high note when
Marshall returned to the stage to perform his original song Thought of You, along with Beautiful Things, the performance that helped secure his Australian Idol victory. For Marshall, the visit marked a return to where his journey began. For the next generation of St Thomas More performers, it was a reminder that even the biggest dreams can begin on a small school stage.
The Sing Thing to perform By Steve Linnell
12890683-AM35-26
A Noosa choir giving people living with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions the chance to strengthen their voices, build confidence and connect with others is preparing to take centre stage at this month’s Noosa Show. The Sing Thing will perform on the main stage at 11.15am on Saturday 12 September, bringing classic songs, colourful polo shirts and plenty of community spirit to the annual event. The choir is led by speech pathologist Edwina Kruizinga and provides a weekly combination of voice and speech exercises, singing and social connection for people living with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions. Held at Tinbeerwah Hall, The Sing Thing offers members an opportunity to exercise their voices while enjoying the simple pleasure of singing with others. Ms Kruizinga said the group was about much more than music. The sessions include speech, voice and swallowing-strengthening exercises, followed by singing and afternoon tea, creating both a therapeutic and social environment for participants.
28 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 11 September, 2026
The group’s activities are guided by evidence-based speech and voice practices, with a focus on helping people maintain confidence and communication while managing the challenges associated with neurological conditions. The Sing Thing’s Noosa Show appearance will give the wider community a chance to see the choir in action while helping spread the word to others who may benefit from joining. For members, the choir also provides an important support network, bringing together people who understand the challenges of living with Parkinson’s and similar conditions. The weekly sessions are held on Monday afternoons from 1pm to 3.30pm at Tinbeerwah Hall on Sunrise Road. New members are welcome, with the group open to people living with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions. The choir will perform for one hour at the Noosa Show, accompanied by a guitarist and harmonica player and featuring a selection of well-known classic songs.

Mozart Magic show By Jim Fagan Mozart and the magic he created for the clarinet will be featured at the popular Noosa Chamber Music concert later this month at the Good Shepherd Hall, Noosaville. Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet was one of his last compositions, and, according to group leader and clarinettist Sacha Gibbs-McPhee one of his best. “The clarinet was not a popular instrument when the composer was young. It had only recently been invented and was slowly being adopted by European orchestras.
“I have named the concert Die Zauberklarinette, which is a pun on Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), one of Mozart’s operas. Mine translates to The Magic Clarinet.” He said. “Mozart was an admirer of the clarinettist Anton Stadler, once saying of his playing: ‘I have never heard the like of what you contrived with your instrument. It has so soft and lovely a tone that no one can resist it.’ “It was for Stadler that the first great piece of chamber music for clarinet was written. “Beethoven never wrote a clarinet quintet, but his friend Anton Reicha did, and we will
be playing his Op.89 Quintet. Also on the program is a short rhapsody by English composer Herbert Howells written just after the First World War. Sacha lives at Peregian Beach and joining him on stage are well-known Sunshine Coast performers, violinists Vera Marcu and Anna Moores, violist Dan Williams, and ‘cellist Jane Tallon. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Hall, Noosaville, Saturday, September 19, 4-5.30pm, Tickets $40, concessions $35. https://www. sachagibbsmcphee.com/dzk
Faberge eggs are considered by jewellery experts to be “the Mona Lisa of the decorative art world,” one selling recently at a London Christie’s auction for $A42million. Craftsman Peter Carl Faberge and his company created more than 50 of the eggs for Russia’s Imperial family between 1885 and 1917, Czar Alexander III starting a tradition by presenting an egg to his wife each Easter. They are still today considered some of the finest and most decorative works ever created. The tiny eggs took one to two years to complete. Often, they could be opened to reveal a surprise, a miniature portrait or a clock. Later this month ArtsNational Noosa members will hear how, as well as the eggs, Faberge produced a sophisticated body of work focussing on naturalism and artistic experimentation. This illustrated presentation by international speaker Clare Blatherwick explores Faberge’s use of naturalistic detail with particular focus on lesser-known Art Nouveau influences, finely carved hardstone animals and botanical studies. The speaker is an independent jewellery consultant and historian based in Scotland, with more than two decades of experience in the international jewellery trade. Formerly head of jewellery for Bonhams in Scotland, she has travelled extensively sourcing significant pieces for auction. She has appeared on television in the UK and United States, and is a member of the Society of Jewellery Historians. Naturalism in Faberge, ArtsNational Noosa, St Mary’s Church, 17 William Street Tewantin, Saturday 19 September 3.45pm for 4pm start. Visitor’s fee $30pp includes catering after the presentation.

Emerging artist prize winners announced A painting titled Coffee Time Reflections by Tinbeerwah artist, Mary Zouglakis, is the winner of the inaugural Pomona Railway Station Local Emerging Artists Prize. Lisa Mitchell took the Encouragement Award with her piece, Still Seeing/Reflect. Judges, Noosa Regional Gallery Director, Michael Brennan and local artist and art educator, Pam Miller, had the difficult decisions to make from 45 pieces submitted and selected from about 100 artists, all living within a 50 km radius of Pomona. The Emerging Artists Prize was part of the gallery’s 25th anniversary celebrations this year. Local businesses contributed more than $4000 in cash and other prizes for the winners. Mary, a member of the Tinbeerwah Art Group, who has previously exhibited only in the group’s annual exhibition, took the $2000 major prize from sponsors Noosa Hinterland Real Estate Mary says she enjoys capturing reflections in her work as they bring to “life” otherwise still objects in her acrylic works. “The objects in this painting are centred on a daily ritual and represent both artefact and escape. The background is deliberately plain, allowing them to float in stillness. Life beyond them is in their reflections,” she says. Lisa’s biro on paper work is also a reflective piece. While loving art since high school, she has not previously exhibited. Her $1000 prizemoney was provided by Eumundi Rotary/Eumundi Voice. The exhibition will remain in the Pomona Railway Station Gallery’s Carriage and Signal Rooms until September 23. Pomona Railway Station Gallery is a nonfor-profit gallery, managed and operated by volunteers. The gallery opens from 10am – 4pm Tuesday to Friday, and 10am to 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Bach ‘first’ for Oriana Choir One of the most important works in the whole of the history of western music is coming to the Sunshine Coast. In a first for the acclaimed Oriana Choir, the ensemble will perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s monumental St Matthew Passion on Sunday, 8 November. Running from 2pm to 4.30pm, the landmark performance will be held at Venue 114 in Bokarina. Under the baton of acclaimed conductor Kim Kirkman, this extraordinary performance featuring double chorus and double orchestra brings together the rich voices of Oriana Choir, the Sinfonia of St Andrews, a special appearance by the Sunshine Coast Youth Choir, and distinguished soloists Michelle Bull (soprano), Anne Fulton (alto), Liam Jackson (tenor), and Jason Barry-Smith (bass). Bach’s great work will be sung in English, allowing audiences to experience the unfolding story and emotional power of the text with an immediacy rarely possible in its original German. The timing is especially significant as 2027 marks 300 years since the St Matthew Passion’s first performance in Leipzig in 1727 – three centuries of a masterpiece that has lost none of its extraordinary power to move, challenge and inspire. It takes us on a huge emotional journey - the last days, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Even though St Matthew Passion tells a dramatic story, there are no surprises in the plot: Jesus is betrayed, he is convicted, and the hero of the story will die in the end. However, because the plot is so well known, Bach can dwell on the emotions of the story. The music pulls listeners into reflection, allowing them to delve deeply into the story’s emotions. It’s a big piece in so many ways … it’s quite long and includes so many players. A very challenging composition for the choristers and soloists. For this, the Oriana Choir is divided into two and invites us to join in the remembrance of the the telling of this story. Bach’s music serves as a radical challenge to
Oriana Choir artistic director and conductor of Bach’s St Matthew Passion, Kim Kirkman. (576189) our habits. It does not accommodate our restlessness. Instead, it invites us to slow down and listen. The first action sets up two themes. First, Jesus is preparing himself and his disciples for his death; and second, the Pharisees are plotting to arrest and kill Jesus. The Pharisees were an ancient group of Jews, written about in the Bible, who believed in obeying religious laws very carefully and separated themselves from the ordinary people. M Previous artistic director and life member Fay Baker describes it as “a demanding work but magnificent.’’ St Matthew Passion can be compared with Handel’s Messiah as a supreme choral masterpieces. While Messiah is performed often, this is an opportunity to experience Bach’s work. “This is a very dramatic work.

Choir 1 is the disciples while Choir 2 is the commentators of the story. We are doing double the work, and will be using the youth choir. Everybody is going to love it. For me, it’s the music. How he’s written it. People will be talking about it. The choristers will not have done anything like it in their lives. Everyone will get so much from it. We all know that whatever has been offered to Oriana, we have always loved it by the performance. We have dedicated singers. We will get there. One of the bassists is from Kings College.

“People will come to see this. “It’s so clever … he uses music to demonstrate an emotion. “This requires a massive thought process. What an experience it will be. “The telling of the story is the difference. “So many choirs sing it in German, but this time in English so the choir and the audience understand. “It’s only a few days in the life of Jesus but it’s critical to understand the story. It’s a different dramatic work. I’m glad we are doing it in English. American conductor, composer and music director Leonard Bernstein describes how the unexpected notes make you wonder what will happen next. “It’s just amazing. How did he do it? How did he write it all?’’

art Stage set for youth Coolum exhibition Student rock bands playing Nirvana, AC/DC and the Red Hot Chili Peppers took to the stage at St Andrew’s Anglican College last weekend, as part of a new live music initiative bringing young musicians together from across the Sunshine Coast. Headliner Amped 2026, hosted at the Peregian Springs school on Saturday 5 September, brought together student bands from Kawana State College, Good Samaritan Catholic College, Good Shepherd Lutheran College and St Andrew’s Anglican College for an afternoon of contemporary music, live performance and community. For St Andrew’s Director of Music Rohan Hardy, the event reflects a simple belief: schools have a real part to play in creating authentic performance opportunities for young musicians. “If we want to see a thriving live music scene in the future, we have to give young musicians somewhere to start,” Mr Hardy said. “That means giving students a stage, a crowd and the chance to experience what it feels like to perform live, and to understand that there are livelihoods in the music industry.” The event was also about widening access, opening the stage to schools and music programs of all kinds across the region. “For us, this is about building community through music,” Mr Hardy said. “We wanted to create an environment where young musicians from different schools could come together, perform, support one another and celebrate what they can do.” Headliner Amped arrives at a moment when live performance opportunities matter more than ever for emerging Sunshine Coast artists. As the region’s venue scene continues to shift, schools are well placed to offer young bands a first stage, a real audience and a genuine sense of what performing looks like beyond the rehearsal room. “For a young band, getting on stage, plugging in, playing to a crowd and hearing people respond is completely different from rehearsing in a classroom,” Mr Hardy said. “Those experiences build confidence, resil-

Students start to see themselves not just as someone who plays an instrument, but as a musician.” Headliner Amped was presented by The Headliner Collective, a St Andrew’s program running since 2023 that is open to students in Years 5 to 12 with experience in, or enthusiasm for, contemporary music performance. The Headliner Collective program sits alongside the College’s concert band, orchestral, choral and strings programs as another way into music making. Students move freely between them. A violinist might play in a string ensemble on Tuesday and a band on Thursday. Choral singers often front the very groups that take the stage at Headliner Amped. The College’s aim is a program broad enough that every student finds a place and is connected enough that the pathways feed one another. The timing of Headliner Amped is significant, with St Andrew’s preparing to open its new $37.5

million Performing Arts and Administration Precinct later this year. The new facility will expand opportunities for students across music, performing and creative arts. For College Principal Karen Gorrie, the most important part of the new facility will be what happens inside it. “The new Performing Arts precinct is an incredible investment in the future of our students, but ultimately it’s not about the building,” Ms Gorrie said. “It’s about the opportunities it creates for community building. It’s about the student who discovers they can write a song, the band that forms in a rehearsal room, the young musician who finds the confidence to step onto a stage for the first time, or the student who discovers a whole new pathway into making music.” Headliner Amped also featured a guest performance from up-and-coming Sunshine Coast surf rock and indie band Soleil.

The Ironman event will take place at Mooloolaba on Sunday. (Alex Polizzi)
Ironman heading to Mooloolaba Athletes from home and abroad are preparing to hit the course at a sold-out IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast this Sunday 13 September. This weekend’s event will see more than 2,000 athletes take on the 1.9km swim starting and finishing on Mooloolaba Beach, a 90km ride taking in the Sunshine Motorway and a 21.1km run finishing on the Mooloolaba Esplanade. Leanna Ali, Regional Director for The IRONMAN Group Asia-Pacific, said that the team was excited to welcome athletes back to the ever-popular Sunshine Coast event, with this year’s edition a sell-out. “IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast is a popular event for athletes from home and abroad and we look forward to having a sold-out field of athletes on course this Sunday,” said Ali. “The Sunshine Coast is the perfect setting for an event like this and we’re thrilled to be bringing athletes back to the region for the 13th running of IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast. “We’re also set to welcome some of the top professional athletes in the region back to the Sunshine Coast with a strong women’s and men’s field which is sure to feature exciting racing,” she said. “Saturday will also feature an IRONKIDS event meaning that there are plen-
ty of opportunities for the whole family to be involved in IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast.” Member for Maroochydore Fiona Simpson MP said the sold-out event was another win for the Sunshine Coast and the Crisafulli Government’s plan to cement Queensland as the events capital of Australia. “The Sunshine Coast continues to cement its reputation as one of Australia’s premier destinations for major events, attracting competitors and visitors from around the country while showcasing our region to a national audience,” Ms Simpson said. “This year’s event is expected to inject $8 million into the local economy, delivering a significant boost for accommodation providers, cafes, restaurants, retailers and tourism operators across the Sunshine Coast. “The Crisafulli Government is focused on securing more world-class events to support local jobs, create opportunities for businesses and help cement Queensland as the events capital of Australia.” Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast continued to showcase the region as one of Australia’s premier destinations for endurance sport. “The Sunshine Coast provides an exceptional backdrop for IRONMAN 70.3, with ath-
letes able to experience our stunning coastline, active lifestyle and welcoming community, while taking on one of the sport’s ultimate challenges,” Mayor Natoli said. “We’re proud to welcome athletes, supporters and visitors from across Australia and around the world as they come together for this iconic endurance event. “IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast is an important part of our Major Events Strategy, helping drive visitation, support local businesses and strengthen our reputation as a leading destination for sport and events. “Events like this deliver lasting benefits for our region, while creating unforgettable experiences for competitors and spectators alike. They also provide our residents with the opportunity to witness world-class sporting achievements right here on the Sunshine Coast.” IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast is supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland. The Sunshine Coast Council supports IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast through its Major Events Sponsorship Program.

Noosa is set to welcome trail runners from across Australia and beyond in 2027 for the Noosa Ultra-Trail, an event showcasing some of the region’s spectacular hinterland landscapes. Entries are now open for the event, which has established itself as one of the premier events on Australia’s trail running calendar, offering competitors the chance to tackle the varied terrain of the Noosa Trail Network. With trails ranging from relatively short distances for newcomers through to challenging ultra-marathon courses, the event is designed to cater for runners of different abilities. The 2027 program will feature the Forest 15km, Cross Country 25km, Pomona Sundowner 30km, Mountain Marathon 45km and Out’N’Back 50km. For experienced ultra runners, the event will also offer the epic Hinterland Traverse 80km and 100km Ultra-Trail. The trails wind through the Noosa hinterland, combining challenging terrain with fast, runnable sections and providing competitors with an opportunity to experience an often less-discovered side of the Noosa region. The event is also officially recognised as a UTMB Index event, adding an international dimension to the competition and making it a potential drawcard for serious trail runners. Organisers are encouraging participants to make a weekend or longer trip of their visit to Noosa, with the region’s beaches, restaurants and tourism experiences providing plenty of opportunities to unwind after the run. For those new to trail running, the Forest 15km provides an accessible entry point, while the longer courses offer increasing challenges for runners seeking to test their endurance. With its combination of challenging courses, spectacular scenery and Noosa’s tourism appeal, the 2027 Noosa Ultra-Trail is shaping up as a major date on the region’s sporting calendar.

Surf farm plan rolls along Surf Farm, the major surf and lifestyle development planned for the Sunshine Coast, has taken another significant step forward after confirming an ongoing strategic partnership with Australia’s leading wave park developer and operator URBNSURF Partners. Surf Farm director Chris Salmon said the partnership enables the project’s commercial plan to be tested and refined against real, live performance data from URBNSURF’s own parks which are located in Melbourne and Sydney. “This is an important partnership to rigorously assess our commercial projections and operating assumptions against actual figures on how Australian and international tourists are using, booking and returning to wave park experiences in Melbourne and Sydney on a daily basis. “Our team is working alongside URBNSURF to test every material assumption in the project’s commercial model, including demand and pricing to membership, events, seasonality and catchment. “Because we are testing it against URBN’s re36 NOOSA TODAY Friday, 11 September, 2026
al-world data, the largest wave pool operator in the world, we can give each assumption a confidence rating and a clear next step, so the project team, investors and the community alike can have confidence in the project’s feasibility,” Mr Salmon said. URBNSURF’s Melbourne and Sydney parks have become two of the most in-demand leisure destinations in their respective cities, attracting surfers of all ages and abilities and proving there is a strong, sustainable market for world-class wave parks in Australian communities. Mr Salmon said both parties continue to work together through its commercial process, reviewing investor materials, helping prepare for capital partner discussions, and joining stakeholder conversations both remotely and on the ground in order to bring the project closer to the finish line. Surf Farm will be located on a 10-hectare site at Glass House Mountains on the Bruce Highway leading into the Sunshine Coast. Once built, the attraction will feature a Wavegarden Cove lagoon configured with 62 modules which is capable of

Beyond the wave pool attraction, Surf Farm is planned to include food and beverage offerings, retail, community gathering spaces, events programming and spectator areas, positioned as a new year-round destination for the region while supporting local jobs, tourism and community life on the Sunshine Coast. Mr Salmon said he expected preliminary earth works to commence on-site early next year. For more information, visit surffarm.com.au

Dolphins women champions By Taylor Ryan And just like that the Ray white Noosa Dolphins have finished their year proud, with our senior woman taking out the 2026 premiership. These woman have battled all year, nothing has come easy for them, yet the will, the push, the friendships and the want to work for one another has been impeccable. Their determination to make the finals, and then to take the win, was unbelievable to watch. From the sideline there was no stand out individuals, all 23 players played as woman of the match for the patch and for the player beside them. The girls scrums were a thriller. Each time a scrum was called the Noosa crowd roared, hoping that the girls would push the Nambour Toads backwards and each time they did, with penalty after penalty to Noosa for square and dominant scrums. They marched down the field for more
points. Nambour to their credit did come back just before half time and caused a nail biting 15 minutes into the second half with some good attack and panicked defence, holding Noosa back from a few much needed metres. Tess Evans captained the girls in the final. Her communication and direction on the field most definitely caused a ruckus for a quiet Nambour team, The senior woman’s team have done the Ray White Noosa Dolphin’s proud this year with how they have held themselves again in this club and competition to win the 2026 championships. Thank you to our loyal supporters and sponsors that have stood by us again this year, we truly appreciate your support and voice from the sideline, we can’t wait to see you next year! We sign off for 2026, stay tuned for and exciting 2027 season and we’ll get back with more club infor about games in late March. Swim the fins.

Dolphins Women season battle has won them the premiership. (Alfie Hill Photography)
Women downed at final hurdle By Julian Pitts The Rococo Noosa Tigers Senior Women’s team has gone down to defending Premier Caloundra by 10 points in the AFLW Div 2 Nth Grand Final in Brisbane last Saturday. And whilst the Noosa girls keeper was pushing forward with far more inside 50 entries than the Panthers, it was Caloundra’s defence that was just outstanding. Along with champion onballer Rachel Cracks influence in the middle of the ground, the continuing rebounding by the Caloundra back three in particular was the reason behind them going back to back Premiers in this division. For Noosa there was no one was better than teenager Maya Bovalino whose attacking play and ball use was a treat to watch all day. The girl they call ‘George’ with a famous surname at the Tigers has had a wonderful first year of full time Senior footy and will surely be one of the favourites for this years Senior Womens best and fairest. Ex skipper Kellie Barker was a constant the entire game in defence and across the centre whilst champion on baller Ragen Mills had plenty of impact also. In fact just a terrific effort from all involved especially Mick Williams who with such a young and inexperienced list did a wonderful job. The future certainly bright for Senior Womens footy at the Noosa Tigers. The 3 Senior Men’s grades had their respective vote counts last Sunday at the club with Jared Moss, Zion Kendall and Benny Blackwell polling strongly up until four rounds to go. The remaining rounds and count will continue in all four Senior grades on our annual Presentation Night at the Villa Noosa Hotel on Friday 18 September. Finn Collison, Cian Mallon, Stanley Brentnall and Cooper McPherson are all in the hunt for a reserves champion trophy whilst gun onballer Sam Willoughby a massive standout in the senior men’s count with four rounds to go. Which really did not surprise anyone. Billy Shanks and teenager Rory McKenzie look like fighting it out for second place whilst fellow teenager Archie Shannon has polled very well to this point also! A big congratulations to Sam Willoughby, Billy Shanks, Rory McKenzie and skipper Rhys Free for making the initial 44 man squad of the WAFL team of the year which will be announced at the Grogan medal this Sunday at the Gabba!

From U6’s to U10’s the Dolphins had an amazing morning of rugby at home, excited to play a new team from outside of Sunshine Coast region. The Junior Noosa Dolphins sides all played with great spirit: it was a pleasure to sing the team song one more time this season. The Barabarians were fantastic visitors, and it was pleasure to host them.

Outriggers active in Singapore A flyer from Noosa Outriggers spokesperson Colin Jones, tells us that a few of our paddlers represented Australia in the World Sprint Championships in Singapore. ‘While the Noosa Club has been in hiatus over winter, a few of our paddlers represented Australia in the World Sprint Championships in Singapore.’’ The 75+ Noosa crew albeit with some ringins fared well at the World Sprints, with a silver medal in the 500m straight sprint and bronze in the 500m turn event. The crew consisted of Rod Townsend, Carl Johnson, Mike Williams, Rod Hall, Graham King and Michael O’Callaghan. ‘’We were up against teams from Hawaii, Canada, USA and NZ.” Club Legend Sandra Kennedy joined the 80+ crew from Cairns and bought home the Gold while Rose E, who paddled with Mooloolaba, also medalled. It just goes to show that some of the sports are not just for the young at heart. Pickleball is also on the up and up with the Masters group. Rugby League. On the home front it’s great news for Noosa Pirates Rugby League.

Pirates U14 Boys were Premiers and Undefeated. (Supplied) season with some silverware. First up were the Girls looking to prove their qualifying finals loss to Maroochydore, when they were forced to play with just 13 players and no interchange bench, was nothing more than an aberration. This time - full strength ready to go - and the girls looking for a little finals revenge. Both were nervous - early dropped ball - however Noosa settled down and scored and converted to make it 6-0, and Pirates took control. In the 19 minute another converted try, and it was Pirates 12-0. Girls struck again and converted, 18-0 half time. However, Maroochydore came back hard and scored on the restart, margin of 18-6: but from there it was all Noosa. Maroochydore lost their discipline with a player being sent off. From then it was all Noosa, with the U15 Girls crowned Premieres for 2026 with a 36-6 victory. Then it was time for the undefeated, U14 Division 2 Boys to go out against powerhouse club,
the Caloundra sharks, who to their credit, had an incredible 11 team competing across the 13 Grand Finals on the day. But the Pirates were hot to trot. After three minutes it was Noosa leading 4-0. However, Caloundra hit back strong and after 15 minutes it was leading 12-4. Pirates hit back strong, just on half time - Caloundra 12 Noosa 10. Then after seven minutes of the second half, it was Noosa back in front 16-12. But with eight minutes remaining Caloundra crossed to regain lead 18-16 with three minutes to go. However, from the kick off Caloundra knocked on, giving Pirates one last chance to come back. Good back line move saw Pirates feed the right winger, who scored the match winning try-Pirates 22 Caloundra 18. Not only were the U14 Boys Premiers but also undefeated. Two Grand Finals two trophies. However, there was one game to go, the U19
Men vs Kawana for a place in the Grand Final. First half it was all Pirates- half time 20-0. Another quick try it was 24-0, then Kawana scored 24-8, with both scoring: however, Noosa stayed in front for a final score of Pirates 30 Kawana 16. This put Pirates U19 into the Grand Final this Sunday: Sunshine Coast Stadium kick off at 9.50am. It was an incredible weekend that saw Pirates win two Junior Premiership trophiescan the U19 make it three? To say that 2026 has been an incredible year for junior sport in the Noosa community, would have to be the understatement of the year. With the outstanding success of our youthful teams, at the International Golden Gloves the National Jiu-jitsu Championships and now two Junior Grand Finals in Rugby League plus other sports, it says a lot for the standard of coaching within our community. We also now have young people in our surf lifesaving clubs stepping up to take on important—and sometimes dangerous—roles. They are getting off the streets and into gyms, onto playing fields, and onto the sands of Noosa and Sunshine Coast communities. Surf Lifesaving. As we head into the 26/27 Patrol Season, both Noosa and Sunshine Directors of Surf Life Saving, Raphael Ozsvath of Noosa and Russell Quinn of Sunshine will certainly give all active patrolling members a reminder regarding patrol commitments. With the volunteers back on the beach 7am on 19 September it will once again be up to the volunteer clubbie, plus our Lifeguards to ensure that a high standard of Vigilance and Service is maintained. As visitor numbers at Noosa Main Beach continue to rise, the task will remain challenging. Best wishes to the Noosa Heads and Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Clubs. Our patrolling members are the backbone of the organisation, remaining vigilant and serving those in need.

Cole’s lap of honour. (WSL) eight plus for his wave in the same set. Medina set to score a high six for victory in the dying moments, and the wave didn’t come. All power to Cole Houshmand who outsurfed Medina tactically and physically to win the event, but in my memory bank this Cloudbreak spectacular will always be about Gabriel Medina’s glorious return to career best form and put himself in touch with yet another world title. After the excitement of the Fiji Pro it’s hard to get too excited about the Lexus Pro at Trestles, which starts tomorrow (Saturday) our time, but I suppose I’ll keep an eye on it.

Cloudbreak didn’t let us down, providing some absolutely magic moments to close out the 2026 WSL Fiji Pro and the South Pacific leg of the world tour. Reputations were made and shredded on the couple of days when Cloudy reached triple-overhead and wild and woolly proportions, but in my mind there was one clear winner, even though she took the final on a forfeit. Fresh from a stunning victory in Tahiti, 19-year-old Erin Brooks, rookie of the year in 2025, came out with guns blazing in Round 2 of the women’s, scoring a perfect 10 on a deep, deep barrel which I raved about on this page last week. After a couple of lay days, Erin came our blazing again on a new swell and looked like a winner from the quarters. If there was one person who could get in her way it seemed likely to be a personal favorite of mine, former Sunny Coaster Isabella Nichols. Bella, not previously known as a backside charger on meaty lefts, had used the break after Tahiti wisely, making a strike mission to Fiji to sort out her approach to Cloudbreak. When the comp started she used her smooth, flowing style to dispatch Euros Nadia Erostarbe and Yolanda Hopkins to reach the semis, where she met Brisa Hennessy, a Fiji veteran. Again, Bella seemed to have her number, but stretching to make a long, steep and deep barrel to extend her lead, she failed to emerge, finally popping up from the reef holding her ankle and clearly in pain. Bella spent the last couple of minutes of the semi paddling in circles, not knowing what to do. Filling in dead air later with the commentators, during an expression session which took the place of the women’s final, she mused that she considered using priority to belly-board down the face and block Brisa from a winning wave. “I wasn’t sure how the judges would react to that,” she joked. Erin, meanwhile, had taken down her hero, Carissa Moore, in the other semi and was ready to take on Bella, her mentor, in the final. In the morning of finals day, however, Bella was unable to stand unaided and was out of the comp on doctor’s orders. All that was left for Erin to do was raise the trophy and praise the Lord, as she does. Her second consecutive win saw her advance in the rankings to #8, with Bella Nichols’ second place slotting her at #9. The best four surfers in the men’s draw all made the semis, and if I was to add an Aussie for luck, it would be hard-charging Callum Robson, a smart competitor who never gives up, but was taken out in the quarters by the technical brilliance of Leo Fioravanti. Griffin Colapinto took down Connor O’Leary – another event standout – in their quarter, to face Gabriel Medina in the semis. And this is where it got very interesting on finals day, with the best of the backsiders taking on the sheer mastery of the frontsiders, Cole Houshmand taking on Leo, Medina versus Griff. Big Cole had already gone excellent in the quarters to dispose of Yago Dora, but my attention was focused on Gabe, who prowled the lineup like the Cloudbreak expert he is, and got better with every heat. Houshmand beat Leo fair and square, but Gabe and Griff was next level, with Medina securing his spot in the final with an unbelievable barrel that was judged near perfect, then backing it up with another amazing 9.27. Griff didn’t depart lightly, getting smashed on the reef and breaking three boards in the process, but to me it looked like the Medina show was just getting started. Stylistically, the bloke from San Clemente with the funny coloured hair isn’t in Medina’s league, but he knows how to get barreled and how to win heats. But I couldn’t see him getting past Gabe in this transcendent form. And then Cole scored a well-deserved 8.5 and Medina seemed to lose his spark mid-heat. Had he peaked a heat too early? But hold the phone, here’s Gabby way up the reef, paddling into a long-lining closeout. He can’t possibly make this, but he power surges down the line, pulling through section after section along the ultimate barrel, then coming out smiling at the spectators on the boats and holding up 10 fingers. The judges were quick to agree. But Gabe’s glory was short-lived because Cole’s numbers were coming in with another

PROPERTY NEWS
POSITION, PRESENTATION, AND PRIVACY PROPERTY MATTERS ERLE LEVEY IT was a good example of how an auction works - establishing the market price and bringing about a result. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-car house at 22 Angler St, Noosa Heads, attracted an interested crowd and three registered bidders. Luke Chen of Tom Offermann Real Estate was the marketing agent, and saw an opening bid of $4m. Strong competitive bidding took place between two Victorian parties, attracted by the position, the outlook and the privacy of the house. With a filtered ocean and North Shore view, and leafy outlook into the valley, it was an easy walk down to Hastings St. The floorplan afforded good separation for the extended family or guests. Enjoying a Noosa National Park backdrop and idyllic north-east aspect, the multi-level home sold at $4.325m. “Both bidders had a plan,’’ Luke said, “and were looking for a retreat to enjoy the winter sunshine. “The parents of the successful party were in attendance, providing an overjoyed response.’’ Being launched later this month will be a three-bedroom apartment on the river at Noosaville. With remarkable views, the top-level apartment in a boutique complex is expected to have an auction date in October. SPECTACULAR SETTING With a sales success list in Peppers Noosa Resort as long as your arm, Chris Miller of Tom Offermann Real Estate has a two-bedroom, twobathroom, one-car apartment set for auction this month. The ultra-chic apartment embraces its position, seemingly perched amongst the rainforest trees of Noosa National Park.

2 NOOSA TODAY | Friday, 11 September, 2026
Scheduled for auction on Friday, 25 September, is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 2 Sittella Ct, Noosa Heads. NATURAL APPEAL The appeal of Noosa is natural, and people recognise that. Rick Daniel at Coastal Noosa said the region continues to attract people because of the environment and climate. He is taking a four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 11A Sarena Ct:, Sunshine Beach, to auction on Saturday, 19 September, at 1pm. An advocate of auctions, Rick said the point was to establish the market price, get expectations right and to promote what was available. “A lot of interest comes from Sydney and Melbourne. Many have just sold and their timing is right. “They either see a property, and attend the auction or realise the opportunity is there to put an offer in prior.’’ Rick said the Sarena Ct property was a good story. The location and expected price range appeal, but so does the presentation and the single-level floorplan. “When it was launched to the market, more than a dozen groups came through the first open house. “The property presents so well. It’s a credit to the vendors. “The key point is they have listened and were willing to do everything needed.’’
In a family-orientated neighborhood, close to schools and recreation facilities, the house has the ideal configuration for all types of buyers. From families to those downsizing, single or professional couples. The house is extremely low maintenance and comes with a beautiful heated pool, raised and with mood lighting in private garden setting. Renovated and meticulously finished, the house offers a balance of style, luxury, comfort and convenience. There are light-filled interiors, a wide hallway, and a floorplan designed with excellent separation between the bedrooms and main living areas. Chill-out zones are found both inside and out, yet at the heart is a large, cosy lounge adjoining the beautifully-appointed kitchen featuring expansive stone benchtops, quality appliances, good storage and statement lighting. Air-conditioning and ceiling fans have been installed throughout, while a second living area opens to the resort-style outdoor spaces. The spacious main bedroom suite offers a peaceful retreat with a walk-in robe, luxurious ensuite and direct access to the outdoor. The home’s recent finishing touches reinforce its completely turn-key appeal, including fresh internal painting throughout, a brand-new laundry and freshly finished epoxy garage flooring. The large double lock-up garage provides secure parking for two vehicles, with additional space for two more cars.

With secure undercover parking and lift access, Rise Noosa’s facilities include a heated 20-metre wet-edge pool, spa and landscaped gardens. “The buyers stepped forward early,’’ Rick said. “It was then a matter of working with them and the vendor to arrive at an agreement. “The auction process assisted by having a deadline. We then needed to establish the price.

HOME FOCUS
NAUTICALLY INSPIRED ELEGANCE BY DESIGN ONLY one so utterly inspiring nautically edged design statement, impossible to date and like no other on Noosa’s eastern seaboard, is spliced with intimations of absolute beachfront living being the ultimate prize. Picture endless bright blue skies, a swell of natural charms, swimming and surfing in the ocean swells of the mega-watt lustrous Coral Sea, squeaky white sand on your doorstep and sweeping 180 degree eagle’s eye views which are never compromised, from Lions Head in the Noosa National Park to the north, Mooloolaba and beyond to the south. There’s something powerful about the sight and sound of water, and here it’s on full show with white water vistas having starring roles. Sequestered confidently within the dune, it really is mere footsteps after the path to the foreshore. The acutely desirable beach house has retained its original contemporary status thanks to renowned architect Colin Loel, stretches across three levels all bathed in washes of natural light and is complemented by botanical-like gardens designed by gardening guru Felix Adena. From the street admire the façade of brise soleil slats and corrugations, the wide arboured pandanus in the front garden, then push aside the statement custom timber pivot door into the foyer. Behold a bright beachy nautically inclined aesthetic with cool river stone flooring and oh-so high ceiling. Be drawn up a few easy steps where sunlight shadow dances across seemingly endless polished blackbutt flooring in the living and dining spaces of varying scale and
mood. A large wood burning fireplace trimmed in Moroccan fossil marble, undoubtedly grabs everyone’s attention on cold nights. Thanks to almost disappearing doors, indoors morphs to outdoors where the expansive covered terrace with all-weather plantation shutters on the south side, views to sigh for, and the sound of waves breaking onshore, whet the appetite for entertaining whatever the reason and season. Thinking special celebrations? Easy! The sizeable designer kitchen has a lengthy Fossil Marrone marble and stainless steel-topped island breakfast bar and open under storage, while the main benches have stainless steel topped creamy cabinetry, numerous high-end appliances, walk-in plus pull-out pantries and many other accoutrements needed by a budding Jamie Oliver to create culinary sensations inspired by the seaside views. Windows also open to a servery for the main terrace. The lower level takes a more casual approach to lounging. It has custom wall cabinetry, kitchenette and plantation shutters while doors slide away to the north side herb and water gardens, also path to the beach. Another door opening to a second expansive terrace with views to match, is also accessible from two sizeable bedrooms with built-in robes and shutters. There’s a white mosaic-tiled bathroom with single basin cabinetry as well as a powder room. The fully equipped laundry is adjacent. Sweet dreams are inevitable, plus why not
wake up to an amazing sunrise every morning from the premier suite retreat, which is next level nautically inspired with a balcony and lustrous timber cabinetry including a chest of drawers. There’s a walk-in robe and the generous ensuite design remains as fresh today as yesterday with white mosaic tiles and subtle aqua feature. Drink in those ravishing ocean views from the bathtub which has a Fossil Marrone marble surround. A study with custom desk and storage is adjacent. “There’s so much to love about the impressive residence on so many levels and how it remains absolutely relevant to today,” comments Tom Offermann Real Estate marketing agent Tim McSweeney. “Similarly, the magnificent garden, which stemmed from having water ostensively flowing down to the sea from the curving path seen from the terraces, plantings to attract native birds such as honeyeaters, yet meld with the nature reserve between the property and the beach. “The exemplary design with an inspirational nautical edge has lustrous timbers, natural materials, form and functionality. It’s where summery vibes linger year-round, and easygoing days are always high on the agenda. In the almost lost-world tradition of a safe, secure unrivalled lifestyle, here it’s possible to lose yourself completely.” Insider Intel: Land/Frontage: 716m2/20m reserve & beach frontage Internal: 295m2 approx External: 87m2 approx incl 8.8mx3.7m &

EFFORTLESS BEAUTY - BRAND NEW DUPLEX CENTRALLY positioned within a leafy enclave of Noosa Heads is Alabaster Sands, two newly built, dual-level residences crafted for a refined Noosa lifestyle. Just moments from Noosa Junction’s dining, retail and entertainment precinct, and only minutes from Laguna Bay and Hastings Street, the location delivers exceptional convenience in a coveted coastal setting. Each home enjoys its own private street frontage. Residence 2A is accessed from Banksia Avenue and Residence 2B is accessed from Jan Street, which ensure absolute independence. Abundant natural light, accentuating the interplay of warm natural finishes and clean architectural lines. Interiors are understated yet sophisticated, anchored by premium materials and meticulously considered detailing. A fluid layout enhances the connection between indoor and outdoor living. The northfacing poolside terrace provides a sunlit space for relaxation, while a sheltered rear terrace with BBQ and built-in seating creates an inviting zone for alfresco dining. The central kitchen,
appointed with Smeg and Bosch appliances, extensive bench space, and a dedicated bar with wine fridge, forms the heart of the ground floor living and entertaining areas. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and two refined bathrooms form a private retreat away from the social spaces below. The premier bedroom includes its own secluded terrace and is thoughtfully separated from the additional bedrooms by a breezeway, heightening privacy and comfort. Designed to suit downsizers, professional couples, small families or investors seeking strong returns in one of Queensland’s most tightly held postcodes, these residences balance contemporary design with enduring appeal.

ON THE COVER
COASTAL DISTINCTION SOME homes are built. This one was composed. A rare, architect-designed residence where every material, every line and every vista has been deliberately considered, 2/27 Hilton Terrace is coastal luxury distilled into its purest form, a home that rewards those who appreciate quality over quantity and substance over show. Step through the entry and the home reveals itself slowly. Burnished concrete floors ground the space with quiet strength, ceilings soar overhead, and natural light pours generously through every living area, shifting in character from the soft glow of morning to the golden warmth of late afternoon. Blackbutt timber flooring brings a rich, organic warmth to the interiors, while Brazilian natural stone benchtops command attention across the kitchen and bathrooms, a considered palette of raw, honest materials elevated by genuinely exacting craftsmanship. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen anchors a sprawling open-plan living and dining space, designed for effortless entertaining and everyday family life in equal measure. Fitted with a suite of premium appliances, it’s a kitchen built for those who take real pleasure in cooking, hosting and gathering the people they love around it. Four generous bedrooms and three and a half designer bathrooms give this home the scale and flexibility for multi-generational living, a growing family or a house regularly full of guests. Two master suites, positioned for privacy and separation, each feature their own walk-in robe and private ensuite, delivering a genuine sense of retreat within the home itself. Beyond the glass, the outdoor space performs like a private resort. A sculpted pool is framed by elegant crazy-paved stone, a gazebo offers a shaded escape for lazy afternoons, and a firepit sets the scene for
cooler evenings under the stars. Lush, fully established gardens wrap the property in privacy and calm, creating a true sanctuary that feels a world away while remaining moments from everything Noosa has to offer. This is a home built for those who notice the details others overlook, and who want a place to live that reflects the way they live. At a Glance 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms including dual master suites with walk-in robes and ensuites Architect-designed layout with soaring ceilings and generously proportioned rooms Burnished concrete flooring, Blackbutt timber and Brazilian natural stone benchtops throughout Chef-grade kitchen fitted with premium appliances Resort-style outdoor entertaining with pool, crazy-paved surrounds, gazebo and firepit Private, fully landscaped gardens offering rare privacy and serenity Footsteps to the Noosa River, Noosa Marina, parks, cafes and shops Minutes from the region’s best beaches, schools and lifestyle precincts 2/27 Hilton Terrace isn’t just a place to live. It’s a standard to live up to.
