OUR STORY My Weekly Preview is a high-quality magazine delivering more of what matters to the Sunshine Coast. It features news, business, regular columnists, interesting facts and figures for that hot topic at the dinner table, motoring, socials, travel, health, lifestyles and more, as well as the most up-to-date information on local real estate. The magazine is 100% locally owned, which means we don’t just talk about being local, we are local, we live it every day. Delivered fresh every Friday. We’re also conscious of the environment at MWP – all our home delivered magazines are wrapped in biodegradable plastic.

hen Last Cab to Darwin debuted in Australian cinemas earlier this year, it captured the hearts and minds of audiences with its tale of a terminally ill man who travels halfway across the country for the right to die.

One Sunshine Coast man who paid close attention was euthanasia advocate Marshall Perron. In 1995 he introduced the only voluntary euthanasia legislation to pass in an Australian parliament. In this week’s cover story, he talks for the first time about the true story that inspired the movie, and the future of the euthanasia debate.

Also this week you can have a quick chat with radio funny man Todd Widdicombe, catch up with the woman behind the business named the best on the Coast, take a trip down the Mekong River, and be inspired by our best homes in our special feature on the HIA awards.

As always, there’s plenty of property including a close look at the village of Woombye.

Enjoy and I’ll see you next week.

QUICK CHAT

A WANTED MAN

Radio host Todd Widdicombe lives on the beach at Warana with his wife, four kids and a dog named after Iron Man’s girlfriend.

FIRST JOB?

BEST DAY IN YOUR LIFE?

Kmart selling shoes, then demoted to stationery. . . long story. Man, I used to dream of working in audiovisual.

Spent three weeks in sport and leisure until I got sacked.

Apparently my own leisure was not in the job description.

There’s too many to mention, from marrying my wife Michelle, to each of the awesome births of my four kidlets, to meeting John Farnham, to the everyday consumption of a bacon sandwich, to taking my dad to the MCG in 2006 to see our team, the Eagles, win the grand final.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON?

IS THERE A DAY IN YOUR LIFE THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A TURNING POINT?

Writing a kids book, have been for eight years, also researching the merits of micro breweries and developing ‘nachos in a can’.

My best mate Troy’s mum died when we were 13. I discovered mortality that day and have lived each day since then as best I can in case it’s my last. Although my mantra is still, ‘no pain, no pain’, I’m pretty happy to have a go at anything. Except hard work. Oh and risotto. That stuff’s just up itself rice.

YOUR FAMILY INCLUDES. . .

My wife Michelle, my four kids, Noah, Fynn, Nedd and Isla, my mum and dad, Jen and John and our 18-monthold puppy Pepper Potts. Named after Iron Man’s girlfriend.

FIRST CAR?

YOUR GREATEST REGRET?

Mitsubishi Scorpion (sporty version of the dodgy old Sigma). It leaked so much oil I thought the United States might invade my dad’s driveway.

Not inventing Facebook. Or worse, not being the guy who invented the clip-on necktie. That guy made a motza, then backed it up with the clip-on bow tie. Genius.

FAVOURITE BOOK?

WHAT FRUSTRATES YOU?

Pamela Stephenson’s Bravemouth (about her hubby Billy Connolly) it’s her second book about Billy and it’s a ripper.

I’m also bang up for anything by Ben Elton or Roald Dahl.

Crocs footwear. As we say, if Mondays were shoes, they’d be Crocs.

HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH IT?

WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW? Let Me Off at the Top!, the classy autobiography of anchorman Ron Burgundy. Just finished the chapter ‘The night I made love to Bruce Lee’.

I swear about Crocs a lot. I write anti-Crocs themed ballads and more recently, I’ve formed the Sunshine Coast anti-Croc militia.

FAVOURITE PLACE ON THE COAST?

BEST ADVICE YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN?

Dicky Beach. Best beer battered chips at Dicky Beach takeaway. Also Mooloolaba, the home of Bauhinia Chinese Restaurant, with the greatest garlic prawns and special fried rice of all time.

Always be yourself. . . unless you can be Batman. Then be Batman. Currently, I’m just myself.

WHERE DO YOU TAKE VISITORS WHEN THEY COME TO THE COAST?

HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED ON THE SUNSHINE COAST?

The airport.

FAVOURITE SONG? If I had to name one, Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah.

Nine amazing years with no plans to go anywhere. Sorry.

WHY DO YOU LIVE HERE? I could say it’s because the lifestyle is so ace, which it is.

But the truth is, I’m wanted in five other states for overdue video fees. Seriously, it’s gotten so bad I’m pretty sure Civic video in Perth have hired bounty hunters to track me down over a rogue copy of Point Break.

ADVICE TO YOUR 18 YEAR-OLD SELF? Invent Facebook dude. Or at the very least, a clip-on necktie. Retire at 37. Boom!

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ON THE COAST WHAT WOULD IT BE? Build a pretzel world. Surely if we can support the 93,000 coffee shops we have, then there’ll be enough love for gigantic salty pretzels.

YOU ARE HAPPIEST WHEN? The people around me are happy. . . and I’m eating cheese. Cheese makes me happy.

TEA OR COFFEE? Coffee, cappucino, obese milk no sugar. I don’t do soy milk or almond milk or goat’s or camel’s or Norwegian beaver’s milk or any other fancy milks. I just do full cream cow’s gear. Weird, I know.

NRL OR AFL? Both. AFL it’s the West Coat Eagles. Don’t mention this year’s grand final. In the NRL, go the mighty Cowboys! You can mention that grand final as much as you like. Well played Broncs, but hoorah the Cowboys. It was like, when the NSW blues are too easy to beat, Queensland decides to play themselves. Best NRL grand final of all time.

COVER STORY

MERCY AT THE END OF THE ROAD

Last Cab to Darwin is just what the doctor ordered, says Buderim euthanasia advocate Marshall Perron. Words: Leigh Robshaw

“We showed in the film both sides of the argument in a way, to allow people to make up their own minds”

Image: Michael Caton as Rex in Last Cab to Darwin,

by Wendy McDougall

A

ustralian film Last Cab to Darwin is easily one of the best movie releases of 2015. It has made more than $7 million at the box office, but its more enduring success lies at a deeper level.

Its stunning portrayal of Australia’s big red belly and charming, cringe-free characterisation of Aussies in the outback form an entertaining scaffold on which to raise some serious subjects, like friendship versus mateship, loneliness and belonging, interracial relationships and perhaps the most controversial – voluntary euthanasia.

Iconic Australian actor Michael Caton gives the performance of a lifetime as Rex McRae, a Broken Hill cab driver dying of stomach cancer, who drives 3000 kilometres to Darwin to receive voluntary euthanasia while it’s temporarily legal in the Northern Territory.

Caton, who was born in Monto and went to boarding school in Gympie, tells My Weekly Preview the role is “right up there” with the much-loved characters he played in The Castle, Packed to the Rafters and The Sullivans.

“It’s sort of unforgettable in a way,” he says. “At my age, to make that film and to do that journey and to be in the middle of a film like that, where you’re basically in every scene, it’s a rare gift. With a comedy

you just go home and forget all about it, but with a role like that, you were sort of living it a bit in terms of the journey from Broken Hill to Darwin – I had a hangover from it.”

While Australian audiences flocked to see breathtaking outback scenes on the big screen and watch the quintessential good bloke in the most compelling role of his career, what many may not have realised was the film took its inspiration from a true story, involving a chain of events leading back to a man living on the Sunshine Coast.

Marshall Perron moved to Buderim in 2006 after 58 years in Darwin. He was Chief Minister of the Northern Territory from 1988 to 1995 and a member of the Legislative Assembly since its formation in 1974. On February 22, 1995, he introduced a private member’s bill to legalise voluntary euthanasia, resigning from his position as Chief Minister on the morning of the debate, so as not to unduly influence the outcome.

The Bill was passed and became the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995 (ROTI). It was enacted into law on July 1, 1996 to become the first voluntary euthanasia law ever to pass parliament, anywhere in the world. Perron was delighted – the Australian Medical Association (AMA) and religious lobby

groups, not so much.

“I concluded during the course of my parliamentary life that if I was going to do something about voluntary euthanasia, I should do so while I was in office,” says Perron. “I thought, I’m in there, why don’t I try and make an impact on the subject?

“It was great to feel that I had achieved something that few politicians manage to achieve, and that is to pass a law that had a material impact on the social lives of your constituents. Whereas most politicians will spend 10 or 20 years in office and be part of building bridges and opening schools and hospitals and trying to create some employment here and there, few will retire from politics having materially affected the lives of their constituents in a real way and this was one of those rare occasions.”

Three-thousand kilometres south in Broken Hill, a 67-year-old cab driver by the name of Max Bell had heard the news and decided to take his last cab drive to Darwin, hoping to end his life legally.

Dying of stomach cancer and desperate for a fast and dignified death, the former professional golfer, boxer and bodyguard paid a high price for his six-day drive.

Arriving in Darwin in bad shape, Bell met with euthanasia advocate Dr Philip Nitschke, who admitted him to Royal Darwin Hospital while he attempted to

obtain the required signatures from a specialist and a psychiatrist.

Tragically for Bell, not one doctor was willing to break ranks with the AMA. He left the hospital three weeks later, tackling the epic drive back to Broken Hill, where he died the slow, painful death he’d dreaded. Nitschke partly blamed himself for not having warned Bell he might fail to garner the necessary support from his colleagues. He travelled to Broken Hill and stayed with Bell until his harrowing end.

Nitschke has criticised Last Cab to Darwin as disrespectful to Bell’s legacy, because the film is funny and lighthearted in parts. But director Jeremy Sims and the film’s producers explain while the film (based on the 2003 stage play by Reg Cribb) is inspired by Max Bell’s journey, it’s a fictional story.

In playing Rex, Caton says he didn’t feel the need to research Max Bell’s life and avoided watching documentaries about him (which are available on YouTube).

“There’s a danger of doing an imitation when you do things like that, so I’d rather just keep him alive in my own head,” says Caton. “Jeremy and the producers knew a bit about him, but we had no idea what Max Bell was truly like. Rex is just made up.

“I’m pretty much an instinctive actor. I myweeklypreview.com.au

read the script, and let it permeate and don’t think about it too much. In a couple of the scenes where I did overthink it, I really had to act it where I much prefer to be it. The hospital scene was the main one, because I’d gone over and over it in my head; I’d gone over it too much.”

Rather than dwelling on Bell’s pain while filming, Caton focused on the beauty of the surrounding country.

“I found the landscape part of the character. It’s such a diverse landscape, it just changed and changed. It’s just salt bush and this limitless horizon and nothing – that’s what affected me. I just love the Australian landscape.”

Perron is pleased the film has put a spotlight on the subject of euthanasia and has no issue with how the film was made.

“When I learned the producers were not depicting the film as Max Bell’s story, then I relaxed. The producers can produce the film any way they want. It’s a fictional film. If they had depicted it as the true story of what happened, then I’d be very angry too. It’s never represented as a true story, so I’m comfortable.

“I’ve had communications with people in the voluntary euthanasia movement in Australia who have seen the film and they all felt it fostered debate about voluntary euthanasia. It raised the issue and I think what’s also very important is Michael Caton has been quoted as being an advocate for voluntary euthanasia in his interviews post the film.

He’s an advocate for the movie to raise debate in the community. Anything that raises the debate in the community to me is a plus.”

Caton says the film is about more than euthanasia, but he’s happy it has helped reinvigorate the debate.

“We showed in the film both sides of the argument in a way, to allow people to make up their own minds,” Caton says.

“But I really believe we need to have the debate. I think you should have the right – whether you exercise that right or not I think would be another thing. I’ve just taken a couple of people through their

deaths and people tenaciously hold on to life, even though they may have expressed the opposite view. My heart goes out to that English guy with motor neurone disease who has had to go to Switzerland.

That’s a really tough way to go.

“I think if governments are supposed

tough as nails, forthright in his vocabulary.

I met him and sympathised with his plight. Max would have been dismissive of my sympathy.

“I think he used the phrase to Philip, ‘you haven’t done your homework boy’.

That was pretty cutting stuff to Philip. He

“I shook his hand. He was a real character, a classic outback Australian, tough as nails, forthright in his vocabulary” Marshall Perron to look after the will of the people rather than the will of the churches, they would get their finger out and start the debate.

It’s not compulsory. If your religious views are such, of course I respect them totally, but for those who haven’t got those religious views and at some stage might want to avail themselves from suffering, would you please get out of my life?”

It’s a sentiment strongly echoed by Perron, who says he’ll never forget the day he met Max Bell in Darwin in 1996.

“Philip asked me would I go to and meet Max in the Darwin Hospital,” says Perron. “He was so furious and cranky that Philip couldn’t get other doctors to see him. He asked to meet me, so I willingly went to meet Max and Phillip was there. Max was a fright to see, the poor man was in such a terrible physical state, but mentally very alert and very angry he had come to Darwin to die and Philip couldn’t get the cooperation of the doctors.

“I shook his hand. He was a real character, a classic outback Australian,

was really saying, you held yourself out to assist people with this law and you can’t.

That’s pretty severe stuff, when you can’t deliver, and Philip couldn’t. Putting yourself in Max’s position, just how angry would you be?

“He was abusing Philip for not getting the job done and he wanted to have a go at me as well. I didn’t have answers for him; I couldn’t ensure other doctors would see him. All that was being asked was to confirm Max’s diagnosis and prognosis, not to administer an injection.

Here’s a man who is obviously eligible for using the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act. He was suffering terribly, but completely rational mentally to make his decision.

But because of the intransigence of the AMA, he was going to die badly.”

Perron was devastated when the Federal Parliament nullified the ROTI on March 25, 1997, effectively taking away the territories’ rights to make laws around euthanasia – a move they couldn’t have pulled on one of the states.

Twenty years after he introduced his

historic bill, Perron hasn’t given up on the issue he sacrificed his job for.

“As long as I could remember, I had always believed that someone who was close to death and suffering and wanted to advance their dying ought to be able to be assisted,” he says. “I’m not quite sure what it was that made me feel that way; there was no tragic event close to me. It seemed a shame that people could be in a terrible state health wise and not be able to be assisted with drugs that enabled them to die quickly and peacefully.

“In my retirement from politics, I’ve remained involved ever since. I’ve been involved in all the bills introduced in Australia – there have been 32 private member’s bills introduced into state parliaments. Every state except Queensland has had more than one bill, South Australia has had about 17.

“Had the Federal Parliament not taken that unusual step of overturning the Territory’s legislation, I probably wouldn’t have been further involved. But I took offence at federal politicians who weren’t responsible for the Northern Territory electorate collectively deciding the Northern Territory shouldn’t have this right. I thought, I’ll get back involved till one of the Australian states legislates and the Federal parliament can’t overturn it.

“There are now nine places in the world where assistance to die is legal and they cover about 80 million people.

Eighty-five per cent of Australian adults support a law that would allow a person close to death to receive medical assistance to die.

“We’re still waiting for one of the states to get the legislation through.

It’s an ongoing process, we have supporters in parliament prepared to introduce private members’ bills when the time is right. To have a state leader as a sponsor is a huge step forward. In Tasmania it was defeated narrowly by two votes in the Lower House. Never mind, we press on.”

Last Cab to Darwin will be released on DVD on December 9.

DRIVEN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE Feda Adra of Tanawha didn’t know a word of English when she migrated to Australia at the age of six. Now, she’s the CEO of award-winning company ComLink and consults with government to steer community transport in the right direction. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw

F

eda Adra’s determination to succeed was apparent from a young age, when she started her own bank at home for her parents and eleven siblings and charged an admin fee for her work.

“I set up bank accounts for the whole family,” she says. “Everyone deposited regular money in there – real money. That was when I was eight or nine.”

Her business acumen has continued to serve her well. As CEO of ComLink, she has led her team in transforming a fledgling local organisation into the thriving statewide community transport service that recently took out the top prize in the Sunshine Coast Business Awards.

“I did not expect it,” she says. “Not because it’s not a great company, but it’s a not-for-profit – there isn’t any sexiness about aged care, but it was lovely to be recognised.”

Former chairman of Caloundra Home and Community Care Mick Graham headhunted her for the position eleven years ago. It was a small organisation servicing Caloundra and had about 500

“I really didn’t think I’d ever have a career. I had ten years of being a housewife and mum”

clients. Under Adra’s guidance, the organisation became ComLink, which now operates out of six bases around Queensland and services 12,500 clients.

From just two part-time staff members, it now has 148 staff and 300 volunteers.

On a national level, Feda is the Chairman of Australian Community Transport Association, which is the central

body for government to consult with on issues impacting community transport across Australia. She has also been appointed to the Commonwealth Home Support Advisory Group, was awarded the Queensland Not-for-Profit Manager of the Year 2014 and was recently appointed Deputy Chair of Regional Development Australia, Sunshine Coast.

Adra moved to the Sunshine Coast from Sydney in 1995 and lives in Tanawha with her husband and three children.

Born in Lebanon, she migrated to Australia with her parents and tribe of siblings when she was six.

“You get thrown into school and you don’t understand a word of English, your neighbour takes you to school and you’ve only met them a few times,” she recalls.

“You just adapt. It was very daunting because I couldn’t understand the teacher and I couldn’t relate to the children. I sat very quietly and I was trying to comprehend what was going on. When I did learn English, I had to be the translator for my parents.

“I had mixed feeling about leaving Lebanon, because you’re leaving your friends and family behind. I don’t think we were ever allowed an opinion, you just have to go with the flow. It’s very different to the children I have – who are 24, 22 and 19. They were making decisions at two.

ready to buy my own house at 19.”

Adra says her parents could not be more proud of her and her siblings, who’ve built happy lives in Australia and made their sacrifice worthwhile.

“It was a very difficult decision for them to leave Lebanon,” Adra says. “Mum tells me about it. She was most hesitant but my father was very big on the move.

He said, I’m predicting there will be very unstable times. I don’t want to raise my children here.

“My dad had an olive farm and he was a policeman. He had to move from all that, had to work in a factory. I feel like everybody’s success now is the reward for all their hard work.

“You could imagine, coming from an ethnic family, we’ve got relatives all over the world. They say, did you send it to your uncle? Did you send this to your cousins? They ring everybody they know. I have been almost a prime minister in their eyes.”

Adra’s dad hated business and drummed into her the necessity of always paying debts and never owing money. Her mum was a housewife who loved cooking for her family, a trait Adra is happy to have inherited.

“I do attribute a lot to my father, who gave us the strength to always

think for ourselves and not conform. We were allowed to be free thinkers and very analytical.”

While she has a diploma in business, she places more emphasis on what she’s learnt on the job.

“One thing I’ve learnt is that people underestimate relationships in business.

For me in the role with ComLink, I make sure I’m part of the decision making at a higher level. I get involved as much as possible with bureaucrats, politicians, funding bodies and get to know what it is they’re looking for.”

As satisfied as she is with her business achievements, Adra is equally proud of having been a stay-at-home mum for ten years after her three children were born.

“I really didn’t think I’d ever have a career. I had ten years of being a housewife and mum and as rewarding as it is, it was the most challenging job I’ve ever done. Those ten years with my kids did them the world of good. But I felt like I needed to do more. There was a burning desire.”

“I think every time I see something that needs to be fixed, I have to fix it. I’m a fixer. I can get a bit bored if I’m not challenged. My biggest philosophy is we’re here to make a difference. I believe there’s a higher purpose for us.”

Peaceful sunset on the Mekong River

MEANDERING MEKONG

Silk worms, spiders and saffron-clad monks make the Mekong River a special place to visit. By Karen Bowerman.

M

y guide, Zdee, shakes a tiny ball close to my ear. “Hear that rattle?� he asks with excitement. “She’s still alive!� ‘She’ is a silk worm.

The industrious caterpillar has been weaving her cocoon for the past three

days. Now it’s time to transform into a pupa and emerge as a moth. Or at least, that’s what would happen in the natural order of things.

But here in Vietnam, where nothing’s wasted, the silk will become cloth and our worm, a snack. “So what does silk worm taste like?� I

ask. “Silk worm tastes like silk worm,� Zdee says, matter of factly.

We’re at a weaving workshop in Tan Chau in the southwest of the country where, in sweltering heat and a humidity that leaves you soaked in seconds, men work calmly at 150-year-old looms that clatter deafeningly around us.

Zdee suggests we go on to visit a rattan mat workshop nearby. Outside, two young girls present me with a posy of grasses they’ve made, expecting nothing in return.

For the past five days, I’ve been sailing on the AmaDara, a new riverboat.

It has 62 suites and 50 crew all eager to please.

The cruise takes us from Prek Thnot Dam in Cambodia to My Tho in Vietnam, although the first day is given over to a coach transfer from Siem Reap.

We break the trip at a market, where the brave try crunchy crickets and a child thrusts a live tarantula onto my chest.

On day two, we cruise down Tonle Sap, one of the Mekong’s tributaries, and moor at the small Cambodian village of Koh Chen.

The afternoon sees me squashed behind a desk among school children, devoting myself, in song, to Old McDonald.

AmaDara lounge Lessons over, I bump into the youngsters again and teach them a hand-clapping game. They just about master it as the AmaDara disembarks. I wave goodbye from the sun deck as two of them show off to their friends.

As with most of Southeast Asia, Cambodia is a Buddhist country. At Oudong, 32km north of the capital Phnom Penh, we spend the morning at the Vipassana Dhura monastery.

We gather, cross-legged, before saffron-clad monks in the temple. The monks chant quietly, praying that we might be blessed with happiness and long life. Then they shower us with fragrant jasmine flowers, which fall silently at our feet.

My last day in Cambodia is a reminder of its horrific past.

of the Khmer Rouge forcibly evacuated cities, marching everyone into the country.

It was part of political leader Pol Pot’s dream for an agrarian utopia. The educated were executed and arts, literacy and religion abolished.

In Phnom Penh, Tuol Svay Prey High School was turned into the largest prison in the country: S21. Classrooms became interrogation centres; the playground a torture zone.

In the grounds, I meet Bou Meng, a former prisoner who survived because he was able to mend a typewriter needed to document false confessions.

I ask him how he manages to return to a place where he suffered so much.

“If I’m here, I can tell the world what happened,” he says, “and explain the importance of peace.”

Many of his friends were executed at the Killing Fields on the outskirts of the city, bludgeoned to death with sticks so as not to waste money on bullets.

Beneath shady trees, dips in the ground indicate mass graves.

Strangely, I find picking my way through the marshy Xeo Quyt Forest in neighbouring Vietnam, even more disturbing. It was the secret base of the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War. Creepers hang everywhere, like giant netting. Narrow channels, choked with water hyacinths, snake through jungle, past bunkers and entrances to tunnels, which open like trap doors.

For years, Viet Cong commanders plotted guerrilla warfare here, just a mile from a US military base.

Back on the AmaDara, there’s plenty to lighten our mood: cocktail parties, cooking lessons and ample choice for dinner.

We cruise towards the Mekong Delta.

The river fills with ferries, sand dredgers and sampans (Chinese-style flat bottomed boats).

Soon it will split into nine channels, giving rise to its Vietnamese name, Cuu Long, the river of Nine Dragons.

Ruby Rose: GQ Woman of the Year o

PRETTY PALETTES These colourful makeup palettes will be released by the end of November, jjust in time for Christmas. Great for gifts!

Maybelline Baby Lips, $3.95.

Maybelline Falsies Mascara, $19.95 from department stores and selected pharmacies.

Australian actor, model and DJ Ruby Rose was recently named GQ Woman of the Year. Known for her androgynous beauty, she likes to enhance her eyebrows, eyelashes and lips. She keeps her skin clear with Cetaphil cleanser, SKII moisturiser and Kiehl’s eye cream and she never goes anywhere without Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm in her bag.

RUBY’S BEAUTY HACK: Ruby’s favourite mascara is Maybelline’s Falsies mascara. Her tip for applying mascara is not to start at the base and go up, but to start at the base and do a zigzag motion through your lashes, wait for it to dry, then do a second coat. She told The Glow: “By doing it the right way you can keep layering and layering and make it look like you’re wearing false eyelashes when you’re not – it gets every single lash and you don’t have to worry about clumping.”

Case of the Pretties from Clinique contains four lipsticks, six eyeshadows and two blushes, $99.00 from Myer and Terry White.

Designer Brands D Snowflake eyeshadow palette, with multiple creamy, blendable shades, $9.99 (small) or $17.99 (large), from Price Attack.

Shiseido hiseido Festive Camellia Palette is a limited edition makeup palette featuring six shades inspired by the camellia flower, $70 from Myer and selected pharmacies.

CRAZY CONTOURING G Makeup maven Bobbi Brown has called for a stop to the contouring trend popularised by the Kardashians. She has been quoted as saying: “The contouring trend is so wrong because it tells women there’s something wrong with their face. There’s beauty in a full face, so I don’t like to paint in a cheekbone that doesn’t exist.” She suggests women highlight their natural cheekbones with a creamy blush, like these from Natio.

We lovee

Natio Cream to Powder Blush is a blush that accentuates the cheekbones with a dewy tint, $13.95, Myer and selected pharmacies.

Stop the clock Treat your skin to an anti-aging vitamin boost.

Intensive Daily Multivitamin is an elixir rich in restorative vitamin C, calming niacinamide (vitamin B3) and ultra-repairing retinol. Preservative free, it penetrates deep into your skin layers, delivering a high concentration of active ingredients to target fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, scarring, open pores and age spots, $79.95 from Brazilian Beauty Currimundi or brazilian beauty.com.au.

MY LIFE

Constipation, Stubborn Weight, Nausea or Bad Breath? Sinus, Headaches & Sneezing?

It May Not Be Allergies or Food After All!

THE SPICE OF LIFE

Do you suffer with sinusitis, hayfever, ongoing sneezing, and daily headaches (which may be worse in the morning) that don’t seem to be seasonally related? All could be part of a bigger health problem that is NOT associated with your allergies! Do you also suffer with short term or lifelong constipation, gurgling sounds in the gut, stubborn weight gain, nausea, or bad breath? These are all connected to the same underlying cause, and can last a lifetime if never detected.

One single underlying issue can cause all of these symptoms and may have been ongoing on for months, years or even decades. It may have previously been mistaken for allergies. To gain relief you may have resorted to the overuse of nasal sprays or antihistamines, doing little to help, and harming your sinuses. You may suffer just a few of these symptoms or perhaps all of them.

A sprinkle of turmeric a day keeps the doctor away, writes Cyndi O’Meara.

The cause has been found in the mucous membranes of the entire digestive tract…

It should be eaten with black pepper (to increase the bio-availability of turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties) and saturated fats such as ghee, butter, coconut oil or animals fats, as curcumin is a fat soluble compound.

I am often asked how to use turmeric.

I eat it most days but usually only use a half to one teaspoon of turmeric powder in my cooking – whether I’m making a soup, stew, curry, bliss balls or a dip – or I sprinkle some over my eggs.

Not all turmeric is the same, however.

Beware of supplements as they may include dubious fillers or additives. Make sure your turmeric comes from a certified organic producer who is committed to quality processes without adding chemical ingredients.

Find out more at changinghabits.com.au.

The cause has been found in the mucous membranes of the entire digestive tract from the sinuses to the bowel, and is not uncommon. An insidious infection from food that has been left out or food from street vendors may be the cause, though is often only detected in specialised testing. This specific infection has been found to burrow deep within the villi of your gut wall, a very hard to reach place, and has been shown to release a nerve toxin, paralysing the muscles of your bowel, causing symptoms of constipation and nausea. There may also be the secondary effects I’ve seen in some patients with chronic weight gain, fatigue and tender lymph glands in the groin and armpits.

It is rarely tested for, and is often mistaken for allergic rhinitis, or lazy bowel, so can go on for years undetected and untreated, causing irreparable damage.

Fortunately it is quite easy to address, with symptoms relieved when the infection is eradicated. I have seen patients who have suffered with fatigue, sinus headaches and weight gain for many years.

Despite watching them adhere to low fat and low carb diets, all with no results, after treatment for just a few months have improved out of sight, losing weight and feeling well.

These are not conditions with unknown cause like many believe, and can be resolved quickly when properly investigated with the right medical testing. Call the centre and arrange a FREE ½ HOUR CONSULTATION with one of our experienced and specially trained naturopaths to discuss your health further.

erbs and spices are incredibly nutrient dense. They are packed with many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but are often an overlooked way to optimise health.

Turmeric is one of my favourite spices.

I add it to my cooking as often as possible as it has many health benefits. It has anti-inflammatory properties; it contains antioxidants (to help neutralise free radicals in the body); it is antibacterial (to assist with liver problems and digestive issues) and contains manganese (required for digestion), iron (required for normal cellular function), copper (to help the body use iron) and potassium (an essential nutrient for fluid and electrolyte balance).

This highly-pigmented herb should be a staple in everyone’s pantry, not only for acute inflammation relief but also for long-term maintenance.

FACEBOOK ACTIVATES SAFETY CHECK FEATURE AFTER PARIS TERROR ATTACKS A Facebook tool that lets people check whether friends are safe will be used more widely in the future, especially after the terror attacks in Paris.

The announcement came amid criticism that the Safety Check feature was not activated for other bombings, such as Thursday’s blasts in Beirut that rank among the deadliest to hit Lebanon in decades.

“Many people have rightfully asked why we turned on Safety Check for Paris but not for bombings in Beirut and other places,” says Facebook co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg.

“You are right that there are many other important conflicts in the world.

“We care about all people equally, and we will work hard to help people suffering in as many of these situations as we can.”

Going forward, Facebook now plans to activate Safety Check for more human disasters.

Survivors seeking shelter and people worried about friends or families took to social media following a wave of attacks in the French capital late Friday that killed 129 people.

Facebook launched a Paris Terror Attacks check-in feature to let people

%AN 10T0 LI A R AUS MADE

signal that they were safe to friends and acquaintances on the social networking site.

“Quickly find and connect with friends in the area”, a message from the Facebook Safety Check service read. “Mark them safe if you know they’re OK.” The feature also allows people to check which friends in Paris who have not yet checked in as safe.

MY OPINION

TOO MUCH PAIN IN PARIS Paris is a place of fairytales, romance, art, wine and croissants. Its image in the eyes of the world as a city of love and beauty makes the terror attacks all the more frightening, writes Sami Muirhead.

P

ages of the greatest fairytale of all time were forever stained this past week. The terrorist attacks in Paris seemed to break everyone’s heart around the world. Here on the Sunshine Coast, every person I came across wanted to vent about their sadness and shock over so many innocents being slaughtered by strangers. In Paris. The most beautiful city in the world.

And it may be wrong to say it, but that seemed to make it so much worse because the Paris we all dream about is one of cobblestone streets and chocolate croissants and the Eiffel Tower twinkling with its flashing dress of fairy lights every night. The Paris that has so many of us spellbound is not this cowardly reality of slaughtering families and unsuspecting people just going about their lives.

The evil that is these extremists seems

magnified on a canvass of a country famous for its creativity and for savouring all the good things life has to offer. And when you go to Paris, the reality is every bit as good as the dream. It is as if you are down the rabbit hole in some magical universe where nothing bad could ever happen. But something very bad did happen. And that is why these violent killings have hit hard around the world: because Paris has always transfixed us and provided us with complete escapism from reality.

We all seem to be a little bit in love and in awe of Paris. Paris is about fantasy and frivolity. I am a Francophile and most days pour over French blogs seeing the latest shoes the Parisian women are wearing and when the lavender fields are coming into bloom in Provence.

I last visited Paris two years ago and had a giddy week of surreal sightseeing

and slurping the finest drinks and food in the world. We danced under the Eiffel Tower. My husband and I lazed in the Luxemburg Gardens and I got carried away at Coco Chanel’s original boutique as I sat there just bewitched by the actual staircase where Madame Coco would sit and chain smoke. We sailed the Seine, viewed Versailles, and marvelled at Monet’s Water Lilies painting. It was the best week of my life.

I cannot match up the ugly images from the past week with the memories in my head. I have no doubt the people of Paris will be stoic and gracious under this dark cloud. They are made of tough stuff.

ISIS and its deluded principles will not change the ending of this fairytale.

I am still processing what has happened in history in the past five days. I know it makes me appreciate our freedom and our wonderful way of life. It makes me love our country. It

makes me want to live life to the fullest and spend my days with those I love doing what I love. It also makes me scared. Scared that people can brutally murder strangers. Scared for my children’s future. And this makes me angry, because that is the exact plan of these extremists.

The word ’terrorism’ has terror in it.

It is part of the grand plan. A quote I love from a movie sums up what many of us are feeling. “I’m tired, boss. Mostly I’m tired of people being ugly to each other. I’m tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world every day. There’s too much of it. It’s like pieces of glass in my head all the time.” John Coffey, The Green Mile.

MY OPINION

FED UP WITH THE BRUCE?

RECLAIMING CALOUNDRA

Journalist and media advisor Richard Bruinsma says a class action over the inadequate Bruce Highway isn’t such a crazy idea.

I

almost jump out of my skin in anticipation of when a hip lawyer launches a class action against the Federal Government, over the inadequacies of the Bruce Highway between Caloundra and Brisbane.

The lawyer would sign up all the tradies, the business people, the tourists, all those who’ve driven to catch flights at Brisbane Airport, and anyone else who has suffered loss due to problems and delays caused when travelling The Bruce.

A class action is not as dumb as it sounds. There is High Court case law that suggests an authority responsible for the maintenance of a road is also responsible for damages if that maintenance is knowingly not kept up to standard.

And I’d suggest the Bruce Highway has not been upgraded to keep up with the increased demands of the population growth of at least the last 25 years.

The current workload of this section of the Bruce Highway is well in excess of what was intended.

This major highway is today below an acceptable standard. And the authorities responsible for keeping it

at an acceptable standard are fully aware of that.

A class action would be fascinating. To test that legal precedent would draw interest from all over Australia.

Imagine seeing a crowded courtroom, full of tradies who had lost valuable work hours, business people who had lost revenue due to missed meetings and travellers who had missed flights, taking up the fight with those, it would be argued, were responsible for those losses.

It would provide a fascinating examination of government liability for losses occurred by inadequate public infrastructure.

The outcome of such a case could create legal imperatives for government authorities around the nation.

But best of all, observing such a court battle would be fun. It would be dramatic and entertaining.

And the ballsy lawyer would become famous.

I can’t wait for that day.

Oh, by the way, any curious lawyers who might be thinking of giving it a go, I’m happy to flick the relevant case law to your inbox.

Caloundra’s history and unique cultural identity should be celebrated, writes Bill Darby.

I

n recent times, there’s been a general feeling throughout Caloundra’s local community that our town has lost some if its unique identity. As an amalgamated regional council, the Sunshine Coast is a united front with all its future focused economic goals – and I’m all for that. A by-product of this regionalisation, however, is the loss of individuality and uniqueness that encapsulates the spirit of Caloundra. To me, this is a great loss.

Not much has yet been said about this, but on August 1, 2017 the Sunshine Coast will officially celebrate its 50-year anniversary. It was on this date in 1967 that the name ‘Sunshine Coast’ was gazetted as the new name for our region loosely known to all at the time as the Near North Coast. What many new residents to Caloundra may not be aware of is that Caloundra has a history far richer than that of its coastal neighbours to the north.

In 1885, Nathaniel Alder’s house in Shelly Beach was transformed into Caloundra’s first hotel. This was closely followed in 1888 by Caloundra’s’ first guesthouse, Sea Glint, which sat proudly on a ridge overlooking what is our present day Moffat Beach. The S.S. Dicky, whose remnants have recently been removed, wasn’t shipwrecked until 1893. No wonder we’re good at tourism, we’ve been at it for 130 years.

Putting things into perspective, yes it’s important we celebrate the 50 years of the Sunshine Coast, but what is being said about the centenary of

Caloundra in the very same year? I’m not sure what has happened to our identity as we move toward this milestone, but it seems to have been diluted.

A number of us in Caloundra have started having these conversations. Why? Because the history of a community defines the character and the authenticity of a town that so often drives visitation and community benefit. We’ve started looking at the cultural elements that make Caloundra unique and how we can translate these attributes into a story that attracts people to our destination. Of course, it’s important we contribute to the regional narrative, but the best way to promote the Sunshine Coast is to add a point of difference that complements the overall message told.

Over the years, Caloundra has experienced periods of staggering growth followed by disappointing periods of stagnation. Urban decay is becoming evident in some of our retail precincts.

I for one would like to see Caloundra as the leading light of the Sunshine Coast come 2017 – the centenary of our town centre. We have the geographic advantage of six amazing beaches, a deep history with a rich surfing culture and a proximity to the Coast’s biggest and best infrastructure projects. There’s much to celebrate.

O

rd Minnett has recently seen most companies provide reports for the 2015 financial year and as such it is worthwhile reflecting on the progress of corporate profitability.

It is notable that profits for the market in aggregate have shrunk by around three per cent against the prior year.

Thankfully many companies were able to grow profits. Among these were Aristocrat, Bank of Queensland, Caltex, Cochlear, Lend Lease, Macquarie Group, Orora, Sydney Airport, Tassal Group, Tatts Group and Transurban.

Most of the aggregate decline in profitability is attributable to repeated cuts to resource company profitability, which in turn, has been a function of persistent commodity price weakness.

For example, profits in the materials sector - which houses mining stocks fell more than a third.

The energy sector is experiencing a similar erosion in profitability.

Perhaps it is worthwhile then to consider how profitability has varied over a longer period of time.

In this case, financial planners consider the path of earnings since the financial crisis and see some surprising results.

By way of background, profitability for the market in aggregate moved swiftly higher immediately prior to the financial crisis as companies borrowed excessive amounts of money to fund acquisitions.

This boosted profit growth in the near-term, but proved unsustainable in the longer term.

Many companies then had to raise

scpergolas@me.com

Brendon Maddock BSA 51514

PATIOS

Bank of Queensland grew profits in the 2015 financial year. significant amounts of equity to restore order to their balance sheets.

The dilutionary effects of these raisings, as well as falling profitability from a weaker economic environment, produced a large fall in earnings per share through 2008 and 2009.

From 2009 earnings per share shifted higher over the next couple of years.

Since 2011 though, aggregate profits have made little progress with several years of small contractions – one step forward, two steps back.

Based on consensus estimates, it will be a few years before the peak of pre-crisis earnings will be scaled again.

The decline in resource-related profitability highlights the cyclical nature of the sector’s operating environment. Defensive sectors – consumer staples, healthcare, telecommunications and utilities – have shown the most consistent profit growth over time.

Send your news to: mytime@myweeklypreview.com.au

5 MINUTES WITH...

My Weekly Preview catches up with Andrew Foster, chef and owner of Sunshine Plaza’s newest eatery Made. and how do you use it?

I love our country and our farmers. The produce we have is some of the best in the world, so we aren’t short on good suppliers. From our Gold Coast Hinterland Free Range Chicken to our Diddillibah Free Range Eggs, our customers tell us they can taste the difference. . . and we love that.

Q. Why did you decide to open Made and what is the philosophy behind it?

Made was born from the demand of consumers. I could see the fast food casual dining sector developing rapidly due to consumers becoming more and more health and good food conscious.

So I wanted to give people a truly fresh choice.

Q. What were you doing prior to this new business?

In short, Subway. I took what is the non-traditional road these days. Out of high school, my brother and I took the plunge and bought our first Subway store together. He had been working as a manager for some time and knew the system inside and out. The numbers looked good so we pooled our money to get started. From there we continued to add stores, eventually owning seven, before I decided it was time to move on.

My brother is an amazing guy, we came to an arrangement with him buying out my half so I could look at the next chapter of my life and see what I could do.

Q. What’s your favourite local produce

34 My Weekly Preview | November 20, 2015

34.indd 1

Q. What’s the best advice someone ever gave you?

Live with integrity. Character is more important than success and people are more important than possessions.

Q. What do you enjoy most about working on the Sunshine Coast?

The Coast is booming. There is so much happening here with the resurgence of Maroochydore and the new CBD on the horizon.

Q. Talk us through the process of creating a new dish?

In short, flavour and real ingredients. At Made we believe if you respect yourself enough, and those you serve and work with, you have to have enough integrity to do it with all your heart, mind and soul. It’s why we chose the name Made.

There is nothing more honest than when something is made. Not manufactured or manipulated, but really made, from scratch, using resources that are made with the same respect.

Q. What do you think Sunshine Coast diners are looking for?

I think they are looking for a healthy lifestyle. A big part of this is real food

without the junk that goes into our processed foods. By making our products from scratch on premises it allows us to do something no-one else in the fast casual industry is doing.

Q. Piece of equipment you can’t live without?

Absolutely love my combi-steam oven.

Because we cook so much in-house, we rely on it heavily and it delivers perfectly every time.

Q. Who is or was your inspiration?

I have amazing people around me that I couldn’t live without. They inspire me everyday.

Made Fine Sandwiches is on the Riverwalk at Sunshine Plaza. It is open seven days a week from 10am.

Have you played at a festival like Woodford before?

We’ve played at similar festivals in Europe, but nothing quite so big.

A

group of 19 internationally renowned Macedonian Romani (Gypsy) musicians will come to the Sunshine Coast for the first time in December to play at the Woodford Folk Festival, as well as one show at Maleny RSL hall. My Weekly Preview spoke with Milo Destanovski, band leader for Etno Malesh, who is coordinating the tour with his friend of 38 years, local musician Linsey Pollak.

How are you and the other musicians feeling about your visit to Australia?

Everyone is happy and excited to be a part of the festival.

How did this tour come about?

The tour is the result of a long friendship with Linsey Pollack, who has visited and performed with us many times over the years in Berovo. This is something we’ve wanted to make happen for many years and we’re thrilled that it’s finally becoming a reality.

Where will you stay?

We will be billeted in nine different homes scattered around Maleny from December

What is daily life like in your town?

It’s a quaint little town and has a lot of tourists in warmer months. It is quiet in the winter, but in the summer there are always weddings, celebrations, and concerts going on.

What would you like people to know about you and your music?

We are pretty sure our music will be unlike any other music presented at the festival and we hope everyone enjoys it.

How would you describe the part music plays in your life?

RETIREMENT PROMOTION

CUP RUNNETH OVER

Community spirit was the winner as the over 50s celebrated the Melbourne Cup at Nature’s Edge.

I

n the space of a few short months Nature’s Edge master-planned gated community for the over 50s at the foothill of Buderim continues to grow in popularity with more homes under construction, new residents moving in and a strong sense of community already emerging.

Nature’s Edge Sales Manager Lyn Morrison says all of the residents came out to celebrate Melbourne Cup recently and it was clear that strong friendships, camaraderie and a sense of belonging have already emerged.

“What we are finding is that so many of our residents have a similar positive outlook on life, they are vibrant and enjoy being active. It was great to see so many people who now call Nature’s Edge home come together and enjoy a great day out socialising, sharing stories and enjoying the big race.

“Not everyone picked the winner on

the day but I’m sure they all walked away feeling like winners knowing that they have chosen to live at Nature’s Edge,” Morrison said.

Morrison says enquiry and sales have risen considerably over the past few months as the project continues to take shape with a mountain of civil works in progress and more slabs and frames underway in order to meet the strong demand from buyers.

“We have been very busy with the release of The Rise with two thirds already sold in this premium elevated

release which boasts panoramic views and untouched rainforest as a backdrop as well as a magnificent three-metreplus high rock feature wall. Most of the contracts in this release are unconditional as those buyers are keen to secure the best vantage spots within the community.

“We even have some buyers putting down deposits on the next stage so they don’t miss out and we have our first residents in The Boulevard release due to move in early next year. In order to meet this demand, our construction team will

Queensland manager of Lendlease’s retirement living business, Greg Little says living in a retirement village can mark the start of a fantastic journey of fun and friendship.

“Moving into a village is a time of renewed freedom, because you leave behind the worries of maintaining the family home,” he says.

“By the time you’ve moved to a village, you’ve done the hard work of downsizing. All you can do is enjoy the social life, leisure facilities and garden environment.”

On the Sunshine Coast, Allora Gardens in Maroochydore hosted a cabaret-dance event with a difference.

Olivia Nelson, President of the residents committee at Bellflower Retirement Resort says the edgy cabaret performance at Allora was amazing.

“The festival is a lovely way to celebrate village life and to catch up with

be working right up to Christmas to ensure new residents can move into their new home as early as possible in 2016.”

Morrison says excitement was building among residents for the $2 million state of the art Nature’s Edge Leisure Centre with construction expected to commence next year.

“There was a lot of chatter over the Melbourne Cup event from residents keen to know how the final plans were looking and when construction will commence. Active, maintenance free living is what it’s all about at Nature’s Edge so the ability to use resort facilities every day has strong appeal to our residents.”

To arrange an inspection call Lyn Morrison at the Natures Edge sales office on 1800 218 898 or visit naturesedgebuderim.com.au.

SPRING FESTIVAL Retirement certainly created the best vibe in town recently when the Lendlease Spring Retirement Festival hit South-East Queensland.

Rhonda Burchmore kicked off the festival with a sold-out show at The Gardens on Lindfield on the Gold Coast.

Looking incredible in a full-length sequinned gown, she sang favourites from shows she has starred in over the decades.

More than 1500 people attended 12 festival events from Bundaberg to the Gold Coast, including one of the best Elton John tribute performers in the business.

The Elton John Tribute Band performed at Keperra Sanctuary in

fellow residents as well as welcome people in from the surrounding communities”.

Les Femmes Brule dance troupe performed a burlesque-style stage show at the village, to the live sounds of the Gavin Hamburger Band.

“It was all glitter and tassels, with a few umbrellas and top hats too.

“After the show, the dancers hopped off the stage and taught the not-so-old in the audience some new dance tricks.”

MOTORING PREVIEW

UTE BEAUTY Peter Atkinson from AAP reviews the NISSAN NAVARA NP300 ST-X

“N

ICE UTE.” Two words I never expected I would hear from the lips

of my wife.

She’s usually ambivalent towards the vast array of machines that arrive on our driveway over the course of a year.

Some pique her interest – mostly the sporty, occasionally the luxurious, or those that offer the chance for some openair motoring. But never a ute.

My wife’s only interest in this type of vehicle is that it’s usually the catalyst for me spending some all-too-rare time cleaning out the garden.

Utes tend not to draw compliments, though. At least not until now.

The object of her unexpected praise was Nissan’s newest entry into this burgeoning work/play vehicle category, the NP300 Navara ute.

It’s a big, relatively handsome and surprisingly posh looking thing, but still

not a machine I’d expect to turn my wife’s head.

Of course, the idea of a work ute doing double duty as a family recreational vehicle is hardly a new concept. Toyota HiLuxes and Nissan Navaras have been as common on beach tracks as on worksites for decades now.

But the whole notion has stepped up a notch or two in recent times with a new, highly-evolved range of all-wheel-drive psuedo-work machines.

This ‘democratisation’ process means our poor old tradies don’t have to go without creature comforts when they’re on the worksite, resulting in an ever-more urbane, ever-more luxurious competition in this segment.

How popular have these quasi-work machines become? Well, of the ten top-selling vehicles in Australia last year, three of them (yes, three) were all-wheeldrive utes.

Nissan can expect plenty of that action with this all-new, much-improved Navara.

The Navara badge has earned a loyal following and this new third-generation model seems likely to grow that fan base.

It may well be the most refined, car-like ute we’ve driven to date – although the new HiLux is bound to challenge that status.

MOTORING

We drove the Navara in its highest form – the ST-X King Cab with a turbodiesel engine and Nissan’s newest seven-speed auto. It delivers levels of refinement and finish hard to reconcile with a machine that, if you believe the advertising at least, will spend most of its time on worksites.

Three things particularly impressed us. The 2.3-litre, twin-turbocharged diesel engine is satisfyingly smooth in its operation – quiet yet delivering sturdy, linear acceleration the instant you demand it. Its torque (450Nm) suggests it will be equally capable grinding through a weekend’s worth of mud and slush.

Yet at highway speeds it’s almost silent (very un-ute-like). With the slick sevenspeed transmission playing a part, it’s barely ticking over at 1200 revs per minute while matching the speed limit.

That combination, in turn, delivers impressive fuel efficiency as low as seven litres per 100 kilometres on the official combined average. Our week-long test included mainly around-town running – yes, including several visits to the local tip – yet we managed very frugal figures of 9.2 litres per 100 kilometres for our 300-odd kilometres.

Another lasting impression of the Navara was its ride – feeling almost as

car-like as its very stylish, soft-touch cabin might suggest, and without the usual stiffness and roughness we’ve come to expect from these ruggedly-built commercial machines.

Nissan says a five-link rear suspension system, as well as great attention to reducing noise and harshness, has delivered a much-improved ride and handling experience. The Navara’s sure-footedness is supported by a full suite of electronic safety aides.

Finally, we couldn’t help but be impressed by the quality of the Navara’s interior. It has a crisp, smart instrument panel, well laid-out dash configuration and comprehensive centre stack boasting a colour touch-screen with satellite

navigation and reversing camera, dual-mode airconditioning and a high-end audio system.

The ST-X’s driveaway price of $58,873 might scare a few tradies away. But even for that money you still get seven airbags, along with reversing camera (ST trim upwards), rear air vents, Bluetooth, three 12-volt power outlets and iPod connectivity.

So even in their most basic form these psuedo work utes are becoming more like plush family cars with some additional storage space at the back, rather than utes with a family bent.

Which brings us to the question of Navara’s supposed purpose in life – the ‘utility’ part. I can confirm that we made the obligatory visit to the local tip. More than one, in fact.

And during one such visit, parked beside a bloke in a Toyota HiLux, came the inevitable question: “How are you finding the new Navara, mate?”

Easily answered. “It’s a nice ute. Even my wife thinks so.”

NISSAN NAVARA NP300 ST-X HOW BIG? Bigger than any Navara to go before it, and a very substantial piece of metal. Yet it steers, rides and stops with surprising assuredness. The tray in our king-cab model was smaller than in other variants, but still perfect for some heavy-duty gardening.

HOW FAST? Again, we were surprised by the twin-turbo diesel’s acceleration and smoothness.

HOW THIRSTY? Here’s the big bonus – with a seven-speed auto it sips a very frugal 7L/100km in diesel trim.

HOW MUCH? The entry-level model, with twowheel-drive, six-speed manual transmission and a four-cylinder petrol engine is a bargain at $19,490 plus onroads. If your wallet stretches that far, though, the flagship ST-X comes with all the bells and whistles.

NAVARA WINS 5 STARS

NEW CARS UNVEILED AT LOS ANGELES AUTO SHOW

T

he Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) has awarded the Nissan NP300 Navara a top five-star safety rating when fitted with Nissan genuine accessories steel and aluminium bullbars.

The NP300 Navara, which has already been awarded a full five-star safety rating from car safety watchdog, earned this latest top safety score after separate frontal crash testing of the vehicle with Nissan’s genuine accessories steel bullbar fitted.

Nissan Australia’s managing director Richard Emery says many customers fit various types of accessories to their vehicles but the bullbar is the most popular.

“Nissan’s steel and aluminium bullbars have been carefully designed and engineered to work in complete harmony with all of the NP300 Navara’s structural elements and onboard safety systems,” he says.

Nissan has developed four separate bullbars to work specifically with its all-new NP300 Navara range – two made from steel and two from aluminium to suit both the standard and wide-body cabin designs.

Motoring enthusiasts are gearing up for the annual Los Angeles Auto Show, which kicks off today, with the promise of new release vehicles unveiled to the public.

Jeep is the latest to announce it will debut two new, special-edition models – the Grand Cherokee Night and the Wrangler Backcountry.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Night blends ultimate performance with a Nissan spent two years developing its NP300 genuine accessories bullbar range, with engineering and design work completed in conjunction with the vehicle’s final development prior to its market launch this year.

“Safety, quality and durability don’t occur by accident,’’ Emery says.

“These bullbars for the all-new NP300 Navara definitely show that genuine is best when it comes to vehicle accessories and parts.”

premium black appearance that includes a unique black roof and lightweight performance wheels.

The Wrangler Backcountry delivers a winter-themed Jeep that will get them wherever they want to go with a host of Wrangler’s most capable off-road features.

Head of Jeep Brand FCA Global Mike Manley spoke ahead of the launch.

“Jeep enthusiasts anticipate and truly appreciate special-edition models that deliver a customised Jeep SUV right from the factory,” he says.

“The Grand Cherokee SRT Night and Wrangler Backcountry both offer a distinctive appearance, while delivering an array of prominent performance and capability features.”

AUDI ON TOP Audi has started the fourth quarter of 2015 with further sales growth. In October, global deliveries increased year-on-year by two per cent to around 149,200 cars. Since January, around 1,497,150 customers around the globe have purchased an Audi, representing 3.6 per cent growth compared to last year. Cumulative sales exceeded the 2014 figures in all regions around the world. From January through October of this year, Audi increased sales substantially in Australia by 19 per cent to 19,079 vehicles, making it a record October result.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS Woombye combines a rural lifestyle with a rich history. Words: Dorothy Whittington

INVESTOR LENDING FALLS

and continued steadily until the 1990s when it really took off as a desirable place to live.

Perceptions by this time had changed so that “rural” translated to “Pleasantville” rather than “Hicksville”.

Today, Woombye is a popular place to live thanks to its relaxed and quiet village atmosphere. It is also located close to the busy centre of Nambour, which boasts a new shopping centre, award-winning RSL Club, schools and restaurants.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2011 Census the population of Woombye was 2775 living in 1119 dwellings with an average household size of 2.6.

IN SUMMARY:

O

nce called Cobbs camp because of its strategic position on the Cobb & Co route between Brisbane and Gympie gold, the pleasant rural township of Woombye is perfectly located for commuters on the main northern rail line and the Bruce Highway.

It has a terrific little town centre with a supermarket, butcher, baker, pharmacy, and newsagency as well as takeaways, specialty stores and a growing number of sidewalk cafes.

Surrounding hillsides produce not only perfect pastoral pictures, but historically well suited the pineapple industry, on which its prosperity was

built.

During the 1960s it was a busy bulk-loading centre for the Golden Circle cannery and in 1971, the Big Pineapple, which is within its boundaries, opened.

Providing a town centre for the many fruit growers meant housing originally spread from the main street to the surrounding farms. Many of these have long since found a new purpose as residential estates.

While this has opened up more living choices, there are still small acreages and plenty of opportunities to enjoy rural peace while being only 15 minutes from Maroochydore.

The first burst of real population growth came after the second world war

Woombye has evolved from farming to a prime residential area that enjoys the township infrastructure that comes with being a prominent part of local history.

This includes its shopping centre, a wide choice of state and private schools, sportsgrounds and train station. It’s a country lifestyle handy to everything.

AGENT’S TIP Elders Palmwoods principal Mike Burns shares his advice on the Woombye property market…

IS THE MARKET STRONG? It is. Activity is really good and there are plenty of buyers around. We see some things go for great prices… but some are struggling. Buyer inquiry is still solid.

Rental return is so good here on the Coast. We haven’t got any vacant properties and as soon as they are listed for rent we are inundated with applications.

WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BUY IN THE AREA? The buyers are extremely educated and come along (to view properties)

with comparative sales data and valuations. Buyers are extremely savvy and educated.

Woombye is such a cool place to live. These little railway towns have a great village atmosphere.

They still have that country feel and have great schools. You walk down the street of Woombye and everyone says G’day.

Buyers get more bang for their buck. You are 15 minutes from Maroochydore… it’s a great place to live.

ending to investors dropped sharply in September while lending to owner-occupiers increased modestly according to housing finance figures released this month by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Housing Industry Association economist Geordan Murray says after reaching $13.1 billion in April, the aggregate value of lending to investors purchasing established homes has been tracking along at around $12.5 billion per month.

The latest result shows lending to investors fell by 7.8 per cent to $11.7 billion in September, making it the lowest level of investor lending in more than a year.

“As the major lenders have implemented changes to their mortgage lending practices in response to APRA’s guidance late last year, the risk posed by a spell of pro-cyclical growth in property prices and investor lending appears to have moderated,’’ Murray says.

“The total number of loans (seasonally adjusted) to owner occupiers, excluding refinancing of established dwellings, increased by a modest 0.7 per cent in the month to a level 6.8 per cent higher than a year ago.’’

The number of loans to owner occupiers purchasing or constructing new homes increased by three per cent in September but was still 3.8 per cent lower than a year ago.

“A widening in the interest rate margin between investor loans and owner occupier loans should see growth in the owner occupier market outperform the investor market over the months ahead,’’ Murray adds.

ARBOUR VILLAGE IN DEMAND

NO HASSELLS PLANNING

D

esign practice Hassell won the Best Planning Ideas – Large Project Award in the Queensland-wide Planning Institute of Australia’s 2015 Awards for Planning Excellence at the weekend.

The company was recognised for its collaborative and innovative approach to engaging with the community on the Sunshine Coast Light Rail ‘Shaping Our Future’ Project.

Planning Institute of Australia State president Kate Isles says the project recognises the potential of light rail as a catalyst for urban improvement on the Sunshine Coast, while improving accessibility and integration across the coastal settlements with sustainable transport options.

eveloper Stockland has brought forward the release of 20 home sites in the highly sought-after Arbour Village precinct at Bells Reach due to strong buyer demand.

The newly released blocks in the Olive Land release range in size from 320 square metres to 840 square metres, with land prices starting from $221,500.

Stockland project director Adrian Allen says the exclusive selection of lots were located close to Lamerough Creek conservation reserve and the new nature-themed Arbour Park.

“Arbour Village has struck a chord with homebuyers looking for a great place to raise a family.

“There are a good variety of lot sizes to suit a range of buyers, it’s within walking distance of high quality education and childcare facilities, the Bellvista Marketplace is just minutes away and it’s a short 10-minute drive to

D

the Caloundra CBD and local beaches.

“Added to this, the new Arbour Park playground is a real drawcard for residents with its flying fox and timber fort.”

Arbour Village also connects to kilometres of cycle and walking paths for the active family and is located on the doorstep of Aura, Stockland’s future master planned city.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

OK peeps I’m back from uncrowded perfection in North Sumatra. Three to six foot most days with cold Bintangs to help you sleep. I can confirm getting smashed in the face by the rail of your board does hurt quite a bit. Now back to reality - it looks like Sunday may be a little fun, but little it will be. Full report on the Sumatran adventure coming in the next few weeks.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Jew are working under Chambers Island Bridge and upriver to Eudlo Creek with live herring the best baits on the night high tide. Mud crabs are moving into the deeper channels when the current runs strong, whether the tide is in or out. Flathead, whiting and bream are around Goat Island and in the mouth of the Maroochy canals.

SURF: Chopper tailor and bream are taking baby blue pilchards along Maroochy North Shore and down to Pincushion. Sand whiting are being taken on the rising tide along Maroochy Beach using worms and pippies.

OFFSHORE: When conditions allow, The Gneerings are returning parrot and sweetlip on squid. Kingies are still hanging around The Gneering’s shoal blinker. Both the Barwon Banks and Caloundra Wide have been firing for snapper, pearlies and cobia using pillies.

Mackerel are moving around, so you need to hunt for them.

FRESHWATER: Lake Baroon is the place for bass and some oversize spangled perch with plastics and lures trolled along the weed line returning fish. Lake Maconald is also firing for bass, Mary River cod and jew on baits and lures. Somerset Dam seems to be overloaded with bass at present with shiny lures such as wobblers jigged through schools returning the better quality.

ARIES [Mar 21-Apr 20] This week’s stars boost your rambunctious and restless ram nature. You certainly have the passion to get projects off the ground. If you don’t adopt a more practical and long-term view, then your enthusiasm for a current project (or person) will gradually evaporate.

TAURUS [Apr 21-May 21] This week’s stars shake up your Taurus comfort zone – which is a good thing, as it forces you to view a current situation from a totally different perspective.

Wednesday night’s full moon fires up your money zones, and a financial matter may become increasingly complicate.

GEMINI [May 22-Jun 21] Geminis are full of fabulous ideas, as the full moon lights up your sign and your enthusiasm for projects goes into overdrive.

But, if you take a sharp detour into fantasy-land, then Saturn will bring you back down to earth with a thud. Projects need to pass the practicality Test.

CANCER [Jun 22-Jul 23] Expect an emotional rollercoaster this week, as the full moon unsettles you and stirs up unpredictable moods. So avoid making important decisions until things settle down, and don’t expect to achieve much of practical value.

LEO [Jul 24-Aug 23] When it comes to relatives, neighbours, social media, study and travel, the more proactive and positive you are, the better the outcome will be, however, on Wednesday and Thursday a lack of focus and direction could temporarily side-track and confuse you.

VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23] This week, Mercury conjuncts Saturn and then squares Neptune, which could prompt you to be very self-critical and somewhat confused. Believe in yourself Virgo! With Jupiter jumping through your sign, have confidence in your unique and varied talents.

LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23] Librans love things to run efficiently and smoothly. But there’s unpredictable full moon energy about this week, so drop the perfectly planned schedule and just take things as they come. A relationship with a loved one could veer off in an unexpected direction.

SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22] The full moon shines a spotlight on financial matters (especially the resources you share with others). Money matters look confusing, as extra expenses surface or cracks appear in a financial partnership. If you can’t sort it out yourself, then find a professional who can.

SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21] Dubious daydreams will get you nowhere and promises are cheap! Under the influence of Saturn – make sure you keep yourself grounded and walk your talk. The full moon falls in your relationship zone, so you can expect dramas in Sadge Love Land.

CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20] Life looks tricky this week, as the Neptune/Saturn square confuses communication and you are driven by strange, irrational moods. The best way to handle this disorienting transit is to adopt the KISS principle – Keep It Simple Sweetheart.

AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19] At the moment there’s a fine line between being spontaneous and successful … and being hasty and foolhardy.

Also, a cherished goal or dream may require much more planning than you originally thought. That’s okay.

PISCES [Feb 20-Mar 20] Prepare for a reality check.

When it comes to a project, plan or current situation, it will suddenly dawn on you that, one, you haven’t done all the preparation required, two, your idea or attitude was completely unrealistic to start with or, three, your confidence has gone.

THE LAST WORD

LESSONS FROM THE TREE OF LIFE Satisfaction is when a daily father-son ritual begins to bear fruit, writes Richard O’Leary.

“T

he chickens, the chickens,” my boys chorus as I ask what to do with the black and white caterpillar I have pulled off the green leaf of the grapefruit tree. I had given them two options: release it over the back fence, or feed it to the chooks.

There is only one answer for two boys.

Most days after work I check on my fruit trees with my five- and seven-yearold. We search for bugs and look at the silk traps set by small spiders. We find the grasshoppers and creepy-crawlies that munch the leaves and pick them off. It’s a ritual that brings me some peace, and gives my boys some valuable life lessons: patience, perseverance and acceptance.

We have planted all the fruit trees, with the exception of the mango tree, and there have been some disasters along the way. The three orange trees in one has never really been a success, and the same can be said for the tree with the two

varieties of lemon grafted together.

But the mulberry tree fruits a couple of times a year and this season’s nectarine crop is bursting through its protective netting. But it’s the apple tree that takes

“With barely a twist of the wrist, my seven-year-old sets it free and takes a big bite” pride of place.

We’ve fertilised, pruned, bugwatched, leaf-inspected and watered when nature didn’t deliver.

Last year’s crop was disappointing.

Isaac Newton’s discovery of The Universal Law of Gravitation would have been a miracle in our garden, as there was just one apple, and it was picked early to

avoid the heartbreak of possum theft.

But this season is different. The white petals blossomed early and often and our near barren tree is now bountiful. There are dozens of green apples hanging heavy from its still thin limbs. But it’s the first taste that’s most special and it’s with great satisfaction I take my eldest son to this tree of life one night after work.

I show him how to rotate the stalk to see if it is ripe. If it comes off easily, it’s ready to eat. With barely a twist of the wrist, my seven-year-old sets it free and takes a big bite.

“How is it?” I ask.

“It’s good,” he says.

I grab an apple and bite into it. I have to agree with him.

Of course, fruit tastes better when you grow it yourself, which is why I don’t have the heart to remind him he only eats red apples. Thankfully, he doesn’t mention that I don’t usually eat apples at all. roleary@myweeklypreview.com.au.
