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.

he one time I was on stage at school was for a minor role where I managed to forget my only line. So I’m in awe of the 6000 students who are about to become part of the region’s biggest performance – the annual Sunshine Coast Junior Eisteddfod. This event gets no funding and is run by volunteers – so how does it manage to come together every year? We sent Candice Holznagel to find out – and that’s our cover story for this edition.

This week you also get to meet two extraordinary locals: 77-year-old Dr Gus Ferguson, who has just retired after dedicating his life to easing the chronic pain of his patients through revolutionary medical methods, and Brian Day, a Maleny man who has gone above and beyond to care for people with AIDS and advocate for gay rights.

There’s also plenty of property, fashions, news and views, and top tips on finance, beauty and life.

Enjoy, and I’ll see you next week.

TRUE COLOURS

Maleny’s Brian Day was recently honoured with an Order of Australia Medal for his service to the community through social welfare advocacy roles.

FIRST JOB?

CAN YOU NOMINATE A DAY IN YOUR LIFE THAT TURNED OUT TO BE A TURNING POINT?

Bank clerk in Ipswich.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON?

The day I met Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in Ipswich. It lead to my caring for people with AIDS. She took me under her wing. It’s interesting that she, who was world famous at the time for palliative care, decided I was suitable to do the training, even though I wasn’t a doctor or psychologist.

Gay ageing. There’s an ageing and diversity action group on the Sunshine Coast and I’m a member of that. The goals are to make sure LGBTI people get appropriate care and the staff of aged care facilities are trained to deal with the specific needs of LGBTI people.

YOUR GREATEST REGRET?

YOUR FAMILY INCLUDES. . .

Not getting to know my parents better. The sorts of things I would have liked to have known about them just weren’t talked about in those days – relationships, sexuality, cultural background. One lot of grandparents were migrants from Poland via Manchuria. I spoke Polish with my grandmother till I was 15.

Me and Ian.

WHAT ACHIEVEMENT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? My 34-year relationship with Ian.

DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME? IMAGE: TRACY NAUGHTON

Dulcie. In the ‘60s in the camp scene it was traditional for people to have a name from the opposite gender. It was an underground way of dealing with confidentiality and things like that.

FIRST CAR? Toyota Corolla. I was 30 before I got my first car. We didn’t have cars in Ipswich because just about everybody lived near where they worked.

FAVOURITE BOOK? Society and the Healthy Homosexual by George Weinberg.

FAVOURITE SONG? True Colours by Cyndi Lauper.

BEST ADVICE YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN? You can be anything you want – by my vocational guidance counsellor when I was 15. It sort of stuck in my subconscious and I think it was there well and truly when I started doing gay activism. I wanted to be a doctor and my father said we couldn’t afford it. I always thought I could go further than the limits placed upon me socially.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED HERE? Twenty-eight years.

WHY DO YOU LIVE HERE? Laidback social life, beautiful scenery, I can go to the beach, I can ogle the Glass House Mountains.

WHERE DO YOU TAKE VISITORS? Shelley Beach – it’s an old hangout from my uni days. I went to the University of Queensland and studied sociology. One of the women I went to uni with, her family had a holiday house just up the road from Shelley Beach.

In those days it was really quiet.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ON THE COAST WHAT WOULD IT BE? Duplicate the railway line and maybe put a light rail up and down the coast like they’ve done on the Gold Coast.

BEST DAY IN YOUR LIFE? The day I died for 17 minutes and came back embodied.

You go out of your body into the spiritual world and come back into your body. Death is nothing to fear, our soul lives outside time. There is an entity I call God. It’s impossible to describe – some people call it bliss. I’m inclined to call it joy. I also felt gratitude, just gratitude for being alive.

CARPETS

YOU ARE HAPPIEST WHEN? After good sex or talking with a good friend. I just like talking to people.

WHAT FRUSTRATES YOU THE MOST? My pigheadedness. If I have a fight with Ian, it’s usually because I’m not prepared to budge. Usually he’s trying to help me and I just don’t see it as that.

IF YOU COULD TELL YOUR 18 YEAR-OLD SELF ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? You’re all right. I knew I was gay from the time I was 14. I also found out quickly I could be put in jail and a lunatic asylum, so I had to maintain the secret. I was very ambivalent about it. In one of my father’s books there was a statement that homosexual behaviour occurred in all mammals so I knew it was natural. I knew on the one hand what people were saying about me was wrong, but on the other hand, all these other things could be applied to me. I became an expert liar, which saved me a lot. I could disguise what was going on. People talk about leading a double life, in fact it’s two parts of the same life that you have to juggle. It’s a lot of stress.

TEA OR COFFEE? Tea: white with one – or sometimes two.

NRL OR AFL? Neither – I’m an individualist so it’s tennis or swimming.

“Local Bed Shop Will Give Away Over $600,000 In Discounts On His Inventory Of Beds, Bedside Tables, Bunks, Dressing Tables and Mattresses (10 days only) Because they are Over Stocked...”

IF you were waiting for the best time to invest in a new bed or bedroom suite then now is the time to act. Because you’ll get incredibly discounted prices right now...

HERE’S WHY...

SAVE UP TO 30% OFF POCKET COIL ENSEMBLES

SAVE UP TO 40% OFF QUEEN BEDS

Bed retailer, Dial A Bed, is on a mission to reduce their stock level by offering their beds at up to 47% of retail prices in order to clean up their warehouses. Their direct competitors will be outraged with this sudden drop in prices. In fact, some people may have been saying there’s been complaints made to local authorities about unfair trading practices. After all...

HOW CAN THEY SLASH THEIR PRICES BY UP TO 47%?

According to Steve, the owner of Dial A Bed: “It’s all really quite simple. We have been told by our government to tighten our belts as there is not enough money to go around.

Well, that has made a big difference to people’s spending. Normally this time of the year we will be extremely busy. We have built up a lot of stock for this busy period and now as a result of the slow down we have too much stock in our warehouse that needs to be cleared off. We have to clear all this excess stock. We would have in excess to $600,000 worth of beds, mattresses, bunks, tall boys, dressers and bedside tables.

Unfortunately we do not have the room to store this quality stock.

Therefore, we have decided to clear them at ridiculously low prices.

Sure it’s going to upset some of our competitors says the manager of the Sumner Park store. “But it’s perfectly ethical. In fact, all we’re doing is ‘bribing’ potential customers into our store so they can really understand the quality of our merchandise. While our profits are slashed dramatically, our hope is to clear all our stock and at the same time we will attract so many happy customers that they’ll refer us to their friends and family in the future.”

Seems fair, right?” That’s why for a limited time, Friday 15th July to Monday 25th July, you can get beds, mattresses and bedroom suites at up to 47% off.

That could save you hundreds of dollars of small purchases. Or even thousands of dollars if you are purchasing beds for your whole family.

These bargain prices are only just above wholesale, and this offer is only being made for a short time only. So in other words, if you don’t take advantage of this offer now — you may never get another chance to save so much money on your beds again. Anyway, let’s give you a sample of savings you’ll discover...

COVER STORY

YOUNG TALENT TIME

It’s no mean feat to stage a 20-day event involving 6000 students with no paid staff and no public funding. WORDS: Candice Holznagel

T

housands of students from right around the region are tuning their instruments and warming up their vocals in preparation for the 49th annual Sunshine Coast Junior Eisteddfod.

With 6000 competitors, 225 volunteers and 180 events, the competition is considered one of the most hotly contested eisteddfods in Queensland.

So, what exactly goes on behind the scenes to make this extravaganza of music, song and drama a success?

THE ORGANISER Jenny Thomas is one busy woman – there are programs to finalise, volunteers to organise and 46 schools to liaise with.

But that’s all part of the territory that comes with being the Sunshine Coast Junior Eisteddfod committee president – a position she is extremely passionate about.

You only have to take a look into Thomas’ past to see how the Eisteddfod has played an important role in her life.

It was as an enthusiastic and young eight-year-old that Thomas first took a seat behind the piano to play for an 12 My Weekly Preview | July 15, 2016

audience and adjudicator.

The Eisteddfod was in its early days and competition was held in Nambour’s Masonic Hall across six days.

Today, it encompasses 20 days of competition, with events spread across four different Sunshine Coast venues.

“I’ve been on the committee for 34 years,’’ Thomas says, reflecting on the time she has committed to the youth program.

“To see it grow to what it is now is amazing. That’s partly because the instrumental groups on the Coast are very strong. The large ensemble section has 46 schools involved and that’s just from the Sunshine Coast area. They can enter in things like the primary concert band section or the string section. It’s

open to primary and secondary groups.

“Over 6000 kids walk across the stage. That’s unbelievable growth. It was about 15 years ago when we started the large ensemble section. Before that, we only had individual, duets or up to 12 players in a group. The schools pushed for a competition that they could enter big groups in and it just blossomed

COVER STORY

THE COMPETITOR

St Andrew’s Choir to keep going. It’s difficult to get sponsorship. It’s mostly from the program and entry fees, which we’ve tried to maintain at the same level of $6 for a long time because we don’t want to make it unaffordable.

“When you think there are 6000 kids walking across the stage, and all local, it would be good to have some support.”

At the end of the day, the committee hopes to continue the Eisteddfod for another 50 years to provide opportunity to the local children.

“The music industry is a very closeknit one here on the Coast,’’ Thomas adds.

“People don’t realise the depth of talent. All the adjudicators have said, across all sections, that not only do we have a large number of entries in all sections, but large quantities of good quality.’’

There is a thrill of nervous anticipation and excitement that anyone who has competed in an eisteddfod knows well.

It happens in those moments as you stand out of sight in the darkness of the theatre wings. The stage comes alive under the bright lights and you feel the exhilaration coursing through your veins. And then you step into the spotlight and all those hours of practise come to fruition.

It’s an exciting experience that lives on as a childhood memory for years to come. For any child or teenager, the chance to share what you love on stage in front of hundreds of people and your peers, is a terrific experience.

It’s a feeling 16-year-old Nicole Holland knows well.

The Year 11 Matthew Flinders Anglican College student comes from a talented family. She plays the clarinet and piano; her brothers, twins Karl and Justin, 13, sing and play the piano, trumpet and saxophone.

The Holland children are familiar faces at the Sunshine Coast Eisteddfod.

They have been performing in a range of sections since primary school.

On the day we speak, with the Eisteddfod only weeks away, Nicole is sitting in the family home practising her clarinet. Playing music is something she

speaks passionately about.

“I try to practise at least five times a week but getting into senior years it’s a bit harder to do practise and work,’’ she says.

“I think it (the Eisteddfod) is a good opportunity to practise and perform in front of people. Young people don’t get many opportunities to do that.”

Holland says despite years of performance, she still feels nervous when she competes.

“I think I definitely do, but it has become easier. The feedback from the adjudicators is helpful to boost your confidence. Having the audience there is both nerve-wracking and exciting. It is a really good opportunity to perform. I would encourage as many people as possible to enter.”

THE EVENT The Sunshine Coast Junior Eisteddfod will be staged from July 21 through to August 8. It will kick off with the four-day piano competition at Lifepoint Centre on Wises Road.

The brass and woodwind events and speech and drama sections will begin on Friday, July 29 at Matthew Flinders College and continue through the weekend.

The popular large ensemble section, also to be held at the College, will take place from August 1 to 3.

The strings events are on August 3 to 5 at the Seventh Day Adventist Hall, Nambour and finish on Saturday, August 6 at Nambour Christian College.

Vocals begin on August 5 at the Lifepoint Centre. Full programs are available throughout the Eisteddfod.

Audience entry to events costs $5.

QUEENSLAND GARDEN EXPO Nambour Showgrounds, July 8–10 Novice gardeners and seasoned green thumbs formed part of the record crowds that descended on Nambour Showgrounds as part of the 32nd annual Queensland Garden Expo.

Event manager Marion Beazley said estimates show that between 38,000 and 40,000 people had embraced the winter sunshine and attended the three-day expo, cementing the 2016 event as the largest to date.

“Roughly six out of 10 attendees journeyed from outside the region, which has had a really positive impact on the local economy,” Beazley said.

“Taking factors like accommodation, food and other discretionary spending into account, we estimate this year’s Queensland Garden Expo has generated an economic benefit of more than $4 million for the Sunshine Coast.”

Attendees were wowed by the variety of new plant releases on display, with some eager green thumbs rising early and queueing at the expo gates to get the first sneak peek at new varieties such as the popular rainbow eucalyptus.

REVIEW

THAT’S THE SPIRIT – USC SPARTANS COMMENDED The University of the Sunshine Coast Spartans finished last week’s Northern University Games on a high, taking out the Spirit of the Games award for sportsmanship. The shield is one of the tournament’s three major awards and is presented to the team that best displays team spirit, fairness in competition and exemplary behaviour throughout the event. More than 2,000 students participated in this year’s games, which were held on the Coast from July 3 to 7. The Spartans finished fourth out of 11 teams, winning gold medals in women’s futsal, surfing and golf, silver in men’s futsal, and bronze in golf, volleyball and hockey.

OUR FASHION FESTIVAL SPAWNS STARS The Sunshine Coast Fashion Festival has secured its reputation as a breeding ground for European catwalk stars. The festival’s 2014 and 2015 ambassadors, Breanna Mackay and Shannon Guthrie, have joined agencies in Milan. Meanwhile, the festival’s current ambassador, Tayla Spier will head to Europe in January to join both 2Day Models in Milan and New Models in Greece, while 2016 runner-up Anja Christofferson Tayla Spier has since signed with a Netherlands agency.

The festival will be held at The Events Centre, Caloundra on October 22.

PROFILE

PIONEERING RADIOLOGIST RETIRES

Interventional radiologist Dr Gus Ferguson says farewell to his team and patients after a remarkable 49-year career. Words: Leigh Robshaw

IMAGE: TRACY NAUGHTON

T

he decision to retire is not always easy, but it’s particularly difficult when you know people are relying on you to keep them out of pain. It’s why Dr Gus Ferguson, an interventional radiologist with Sunshine Coast Medical Imaging, has had mixed feelings about signing off – even though he’s about to turn 77.

Ferguson is an unsung hero on the Sunshine Coast, having virtually pioneered a pain relief technique that has made life worth living for more than 3000 people. Born in New Zealand, he graduated from the University of Otago in 1963 and went to Britain in 1967, where he completed a fellowship in radiology. It was there he witnessed the world’s first CT brain scan at the Atkinson Morley Hospital in London in 1971, on a prototype scanner which took eight seconds per slice and did away with air encephalograms forever.

He came to Australia in 1974 and began working in Brisbane. It was in 1990 that he began performing radiofrequency neurotomy, also known as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which is designed to coagulate the nerve sheath and disable those nerves that transmit pain signals.

“As far as I know, no one was using CT guided radiofrequency in Australia at that time,” says Ferguson. “To my knowledge, we have probably led the way using CT for guidance. I was first asked to consider doing this back in 1990 and I initially used fluoroscopy, like the pain specialists, until I realised that having a CT scanner provided great precision.

“I’ve often been amazed it hasn’t been utilised more often and isn’t more widespread. Even two years ago, it wasn’t being used in South Australia at all.”

Radiofrequency ablation is used to treat certain types of neck pain, thoracic pain and lower back pain. It is also used to treat certain types of headache,

including occipital neuralgia and post whiplash neuralgia. Sacroiliac joint pain can also be treated, as can Morton’s neuroma in the foot, plantar fasciitis, stump neuromas in amputees and a number of other conditions.

In carefully selected cases, the success rate is around 75 per cent and it takes about 30 minutes.

Those 30 minutes can mean the difference between living with chronic pain, and being able to enjoy a pain-free and active life again.

“I’ve done over 1000 in the neck and 2000 in the lumbar spine since 1991,” Ferguson tells My Weekly Preview. “The technique in the cervical spine is one I have refined over the years and it’s a particularly elegant technique. It’s safe and is done under local anaesthetic, without the need for any tranquillisation.

“It’s designed to coagulate the nerves

which transmit the pain impulses to the brain – the nerves that come from the facet joints. So it doesn’t treat some sorts of pain that comes from the neck and it doesn’t treat discogenic pain, but it is a very helpful and useful technique for virtually eliminating the pain from the facet joints for up to two years, and then

“As far as I know, no one was using CT guided radiofrequency in Australia at that time”

it can be repeated.

“There are very few complications,” he says. “I’ve never had a major complication. It’s not to be taken lightly, however. The neck is more challenging because of the proximity of major vessels, but overall it’s a very safe technique in the right hands. You have to be very precise putting in the electrodes it must be done with great care. That’s why under CT

guidance it’s very safe.”

Another technique Ferguson specialises in is pulsed radiofrequency of the dorsal root ganglion in the spine, which has been very successful. With this technique he’s able to use pulsed radiofrequency to modify the pain response from anterior primary ramus nerves.

With almost half a century of pain relief work to his credit, it was a tough decision to leave behind his rewarding career, but he’s passing the reins to very capable hands.

“My decision to leave has been made so much easier with the enthusiasm and emergence of Dr Sally Johnstone as my exit strategy,” he says. “Sally has been working with me for the past 18 months and I am so impressed with her skills.”

Ferguson said goodbye to the team at Sunshine Coast Medical Imaging on June 29 and a week later, headed overseas with his wife for a much-deserved holiday.

After visiting Scotland, Orkney, the Shetland Islands, Spain and Portugal, he’ll head home to Mount Ninderry and make the most of his newfound free time by indulging in his passion for woodworking, piano and golf.

And he’ll have plenty of time to reflect on a long and successful career in which he was able to make a difference to many lives.

“The rewarding part has been the feedback I’ve had from a large number of patients who have had very significant pain relief, sometimes for many years,” he says. “One patient came back every two years for 22 years. It really is quite amazing and very gratifying to see that the technique works so well for so many.”

These procedures will continue to be carried out by Dr Johnstone at Sunshine Coast Medical Imaging at the Sunshine Coast Private Hospital.

MY OPINION

WIGS FOR KIDS

FOCUS ON OUTCOMES

A little girl with no hair has taught Sami Muirhead it’s not how nice your hair is, but who you are, that makes you beautiful.

E

lla is a nine-year-old Palmwoods girl who loves to dance and reminds me of a sprightly fairy.

The plucky girl is always smiling and nimbly gliding around the place in a full flight of joy.

I have learnt a lot from this little girl in the past few years and I am always fascinated by the way she is the first to help much younger children. She is clearly a kind and compassionate soul.

But Ella has come a long way from the days when her self-confidence was low due to the other kids at kindy asking her why she has no hair and no eyebrows. Ella has alopecia. It is a rare autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks the hair follicles. There is no cure and most people are diagnosed before their 20th birthday.

Ella lost all of her hair at a tiny 10 months of age. Ella and her family are thankful to Variety, which helps families pay for life-changing wigs for kids.

It is Alopecia Awareness month. The wigs cost around $6000 and last around two years, so it would be feasible for a family to spend $50,000 on hair pieces to get their little ones into adulthood.

Ella’s mother, Alanna, says: “You just want your child to have the best life they can have, and seeing Ella so happy and confident wearing her wig has brought us so much pride and joy. The cost of the wig was beyond our family budget, and we are

grateful to everyone who has donated money to Variety to help Ella and so many other children in need.”

I have a special soft spot for Ella’s mum. My Iittle boy wears glasses. Her little girl has no hair. We often chat about how kids can be cruel and we hope and pray other children are kind to ours.

Variety needs more hair to make more wigs. If you want to donate your hair, check out variety.org.au – it must be the length of a ruler and can never have been dyed with hair colour. Spread the word, as your hair can change a child’s life.

On a personal note, meeting Ella has made me stop and rethink the comments I make to my daughter about hair being so beautiful. Our society places so much emphasis on the femininity of hair.

Barbie, Princess Ariel, Cinderella and the Frozen sisters have thick lustrous hair.

It is a strong message that equates beauty with fine flowing locks. Anyone who has lost their hair to cancer would agree that hair is just a physical attribute, and we must teach our kids that message.

Better to be kind and full of courage than have Jennifer Aniston’s locks. But I guess it is easy for me to say, as I have a full head of thick hair.

Communications specialist Rebecca Grisman says a collaborative approach from the outset can avoid 11th-hour discord.

T

here is nothing wrong with robust discussion, dissent, opposing opinions, or even not agreeing to disagree.

Any kind of change can be extremely challenging for many people; humans are geared to seek and create routines and patterns, so even good changes are disruptive for a time. Historically, Australian culture has been averse to radical change, despite being a young and relatively isolated country.

Communities have a right here to be consulted about change.

Yet public debate is generally unpopular and reserved for last-minute, last-stand contexts when naysayers rally to demonstrate. It’s rare that public debate takes place in a staged way to genuinely enable all sides to share their perspective. It’s also extremely rare here that supporters will rally in any way to voice their positive position. It is more common to see a range of pro-groups in other countries who advocate for more or better governance, education, infrastructure, and economic and political change.

In my own experience, especially in regional Australia, when councils, government, industry, unions, development or any major project management representatives take a longer-term approach to be inclusive in making major change, the effort is met

with suspicion. People often question the process over the content and scrutinise why you’re knocking on their door, why you’re staging public meetings and information displays, creating websites and distributing mailouts. This judgement creates a circular, protracted and often combative process.

Other nations like New Zealand, Canada and Germany do it much better by requiring community involvement up front and shared commitment to resolutions. It doesn’t necessarily require more time or resources, just a change in thinking, from every stakeholder.

The real challenge is when everyone’s focus is on the problem or the impacts, rather than on potential outcomes.

It is the very basis of community consultation and engagement to involve as many people and interests as possible, to gather input from the outset. The more people involved, the more ideas are raised and examined, and it enables conflicting views to be raised early.

It’s not the purpose of community engagement, however, to please everyone. The purpose is to offer opportunities to communicate and contribute. It’s surely a responsibility of communities to demand opportunities for debate, then to stand up and get involved when they happen.

Focusing on the outcome beyond the process is key.

APP OF THE WEEK

$575,000 RAISED FOR WATCH-SIZE SUBWOOFER The creators of The Basslet will have no problem fulfilling orders with the gadget achieving 790 per cent of funding in a Kickstarter campaign.

It was hoped the wrist gadget would raise $73,000 but crowdfunding has gone above and beyond with the campaign securing more than $575,000.

Who would have thought that a watch-size subwoofer for your body could be so popular? The Basslet promises to provide powerful bass anywhere you go for gaming and music.

It is completely silent to the outside world – and despite the size, the creators say it makes you feel like you are surrounded by sound.

The Basslet will be shipped worldwide later this year. Visit kickstarter.com.

POKEMON GO

Pokemon Go, a new smartphone game based on Nintendo characters like Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise and Pikachu is taking the world by storm.

According to AAP, the “augmented reality” game, which layers gameplay onto the physical world, became the top grossing app in the iPhone app store just days after it was released in Australia, New Zealand and the US last week.

To play, you trek to local landmarks centre – represented as Pokestops – to gather supplies, and it has created a huge following with players seen everywhere from parks to shopping centres.

Darwin police have even asked players not to waltz into their station, which is a Pokestop in the game.

The app is free and available on iOS and Android.

IT’S YOUR

NEW PLANET WITH THREE SUNS DISCOVERED

Astronomers have discovered a planet unlike any other ever found, one that loops widely around one star that is locked in a gravitational embrace with two others in a triple-star system, creating a curious celestial ballet.

The findings, published last Thursday in the journal Science, challenge current notions about what makes a planetary system viable.

With three stars in the system, the massive planet would experience triple sunrises and triple sunsets during one season and all daylight in another. Since the planet’s orbit is very long, each season lasts hundreds of years.

“Depending on which season you were born in, you may never know what nighttime is like,” Kevin Wagner of the University of Arizona says.

The planet, called HD 131399Ab, is about four times bigger than Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, and is orbiting in a three-star system about 340 light years from Earth in the Centaurus constellation.

CHINESE WHISPERS Beijing is a fascinating gateway to a world of Chinese art and culture. By Diana Plater

I

ts 8.30am and freezing cold but astonishingly beautiful as we arrive at Mutianyu, at the Great Wall.

We have the choice of hiking up to the Wall or taking a rather dodgy-looking chairlift, but the latter gets our vote. We are the first on and there is almost

nobody else here, except for the sweepers and stall owners. It’s eerily quiet as we look up at the 23 watch towers on this segment of the Wall, some of which we later reach after climbing the imposing steps.

I decide winter is a great time to visit a site that has always been on my bucket

list, with snow on the distant mountains.

My hotel, the Sofitel Wanda Beijing, has organised the day tour for me and my fellow tourists are an interesting bunch of businessmen from all over the world. On the way back we visit a jade factory and a silk showroom, the compulsory stops that always seem to

get slipped into tour itineraries. But I enjoy both, in particular talking to the saleswomen about their lives.

The next day, back in Beijing, I am lucky enough to get into the last group of the morning to visit the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong and see his embalmed body.

Later I visit the converted stateowned factories of the 798 Art District to the northeast of the city in the Dashanzi area.

Teeming with art lovers, the complex is named after Factory 798 which originally produced electronics. But from 2002 artists and cultural organisations began to divide, rent out, and remake the factory spaces, gradually developing them into artists’ studios, design companies, restaurants, bars and galleries. While not as edgy as the early days, its still a very cool place to wander around and drop in on openings.

The art coming out of China today is said to be some of the most interesting and compelling of our time, made known to many in Australia via the White Rabbit Contemporary Chinese Art Collection in Sydney.

Some of the credit for the international knowledge of this exploding art scene over the past 25

years must be given to Brian Wallace, originally from Taree, NSW. In the late 1980s there was no traditional market for the art, so artists would exhibit in their own homes or the hotel rooms of foreigners. Wallace would mix with them and help them organise showings.

Some were teachers from the art academies where they had been strictly trained in drawing, sketching and other techniques.

Wallace opened Red Gate, the first private contemporary art gallery in China in 1991 in the historic Southeast

Corner Tower at Dongbianmen, one of the few Ming dynasty towers to survive the destruction of the city wall.

He explains that for nearly 30 years now he’s witnessed young people really observing and explaining what’s going on in contemporary China in this space that is changing so fast. How do you make sense of it? How do you be critical?

How do you analyse it? They’re doing all those things.

Another Australian, Luise Guest, an art educator, writer and artist, who has been travelling regularly to China since

2011, was the recipient of a Red Gate writers residency in 2013.

Although Beijing has terrible pollution and apocalyptic traffic, that combination of grey walls and roof tiles, and the red gates and willow trees, it has grabbed her heart, Guest says.

She is the director of education and research for Judith Neilson’s White Rabbit Collection, and believes contemporary art in China is unlike anything in the rest of the world. After meeting many female artists, she felt their stories were not being told. She has righted that with her new book, Half the Sky, which contains interviews with 32 women artists.

On my last day, I take a slow walk through the Forbidden City, peering through windows into its closed rooms, and then go on to some of the hutongs, the narrow alleyways where people still live and which give a taste of old Beijing.

Dusty bicycles lean against grey walls and red doors open into captivating courtyards I would love to enter. I begin to understand why people are entranced by this sprawling, polluted but wonderful city. * The writer was a guest of the Sofitel Wanda Beijing.

by US scientists recently? They were experimenting with new materials that could be used in electronics applications and stumbled upon a vivid new pigment, which they named YInMn Blue after its chemical makeup.

DRAPING IS THE NEW STROBING First it was contouring, then it was strobing. Now a new makeup trend is emerging to sculpt the face using a blend of blushes to give a healthy, natural colour. The trick is to use a variety of blushes to ‘drape’ the cheekbones, temples and above the eyes in complementary tones to give a softly defined look. Achieve the look with Marc Jacobs Air Blush Soft Glow Duo, which will be available in Sephora later this year.

MY LIFE

DESIGN YOUR DREAM LIFE Jodi Chapman says when things don’t go to plan, don’t wallow for too long – dust yourself off and make a new plan.

Y

our beliefs, how you’ve imagined your future, is at the core of every decision you’ve made to arrive at the present you have today. Sometimes, unexpected events deliver twists and turns in your journey, leading to places you may never have imagined, some good, some great, and sometimes not so great.

When what we believe our plan should be doesn’t come to fruition, you have two choices. You can choose to review your beliefs, and make an adventure on a new path, or you can get caught in that place between belief and reality indefinitely, which may bring on feelings of grief and loss, anxiety, and sadness for a while, though if you stay too long, may lead to depression, poor health, fatigue, insomnia and possibly a downward spiral toward a difficult path.

Letting go of lifelong beliefs and

designing your new future can be an exciting adventure. Seeing new opportunities rather than loss may be difficult at first, but with a little planning, seeing a positive future is not that far away.

Vision boards can be a powerful tool to change the beliefs that may not be serving you. Make a list of all the things you always wanted to do, learn, or see then start planning them into your day, month and year. Include getting fit with a new sport, travel ideas for near or far, new hobbies, and look after your health. Eventually you’ll meet likeminded people and your new life will surround you before you know it. You can make the choice to design your life a better way.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE

SUPER UNCERTAINTY Troy Davey is from Ord Minnett in Buderim.

R

egardless of your political persuasion, the recent Federal Government election has provided even more financial uncertainty.

For those of you who follow politics and investment markets, you will know all too well that markets do not respond well to uncertainty.

Without going into too much detail, the Senate will be heavily influenced by independents and minor parties. This throws up a number of challenges for those of you who are saving for retirement or are currently retired.

The 2016 budget proposed a number of changes to the superannuation system. The main proposals included changes to the non-concessional contribution limit,

the (controversial) retrospective application of the non-concessional contribution limit, the concessional contribution limit, the $1.6 million cap on pension accounts, and the taxation of transition to retirement pensions.

By way of background, these changes were proposed in the budget, but have not yet been passed into legislation.

Since the budget, professionals within the superannuation industry have been in a state of flux.

Many advisers and accountants have treated the proposed changes to the superannuation system as implemented, as the penalties can be somewhat onerous and complicated to administer.

As you can appreciate, the independents and minor parties will have significant influence and the proposed changes to superannuation will most likely be revisited by the incoming government.

The government will be required to negotiate its legislation through the

“I am sure you will agree with me when I say this situation is a complete mess” parliament. This includes the federal budget, which will need to be negotiated through the lower and upper house of parliament.

For the time being, any strategy which involves superannuation savings

will need to be carefully considered prior to implementation.

Currently, the old rules apply, however, in many cases where you apply these old rules, you may be penalised if the proposed changes do eventually get through.

I am sure you will agree with me when I say this situation is a complete mess.

Engaging a professional to assist you in making decisions around your superannuation strategy moving forward will provide you with peace of mind in these uncertain times.

CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY

onstruction on Halcyon Lakeside, the third lifestyle community on the Sunshine Coast by Australia’s most awarded over 50s lifestyle developer is forging ahead with framework going up on the first release of homes.

The new, gated community is framed by natural bushland on a unique 13 hectare site within the master planned Parklakes II community at Bli Bli. Halcyon Lakeside overlooks two lakes with 450 metres of lake frontage and access to 6km of walking tracks and local shopping.

Situated just minutes from the town centre of Bli Bli, future Halcyon Lakeside home owners will benefit from the $522 million of infrastructure investment planned for the Bli Bli region over the next decade. This includes new retail, medical and commercial developments, schools, transport, recreation infrastructure and the newly completed Maroochy River Golf Course.

Project director Chris Carley says Halcyon Landing is the fastest selling over 50s community on the Sunshine

Coast with the first two releases of 52 homes in stage one sold out, off the plan.

“We’ve had a high level of interest from purchasers who want to be part of a peaceful pocket within a master planned community.”

“The site’s lake frontage is another major lifestyle drawcard. Early buyers are attracted to our model of creating great homes with a feeling of space and lifestyle facilities that are without peer in this market.’’

Plans have also been revealed for the community’s multi-million dollar Lifestyle and Recreational Precinct which has a championship-sized bowling green, tennis court, pickleball courts, pools and health and wellness centre.

The centrepiece of the Lifestyle and Recreational Precinct is the Recreation Club, which houses the cinema, library and substantial lounge areas that open to a lovely northern aspect and panoramic views of the hinterland.

To see plans for the latest release of architect designed homes in Stage Two phone 1800 050 555 or visit the Halcyon Landing Display Home and Halcyon Lakeside Sales Centre located at 27 Waigani Steet, Bli Bli.

RETIREMENT LIVING CHECKLIST

M

any people entering their later years of life decide it’s time to explore their future housing options. It might be due to empty nest syndrome, retirement or simply a desire to downsize.

Nature’s Edge Buderim has compiled the most commonly asked questions by people aged 50 and over who are looking to move into the village…

relaxed, it is up to you. We provide the entertainment and the facilities but you may prefer your own company – just like anywhere else.

Q) IS IT EXPENSIVE?

Q) WHAT SORT OF PEOPLE LIVE THERE? A) You have to be 50 before you can buy a home at Nature’s Edge but most fall into the 60 – 70 year age bracket. The home owners are active and enjoy many sporting and cultural interests. They are not ‘old’ - they love travelling, their families, their own interests, their friends and social events.

Q) WHAT ARE THE HOUSES LIKE? A) Nature’s Edge has more than 25 different free standing house plans and all houses are standalone homes. The most popular are two bedrooms plus a multi-purpose room with a double lock up garage. You can choose a plan and a block to suit, or you can choose a home already built.

Q) WHAT HAPPENS IF I GO AWAY TRAVELLING? A) You will be living in a secure gated community with trusted neighbours and onsite management to keep an eye on things while you are gone. All homes are privately owned so you have the security of always knowing who your neighbours are. On return, you can park your RV securely on-site.

Q) DO I HAVE TO DO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DOES? A) It is your home and your choice. You might like a structured lifestyle or alternately your might prefer to be

A) Homes start at $429,000 and are eco-friendly, master built with eight star energy efficiency. The surrounding suburbs median price range is $500,000 $750,000. Construction is underway on the luxury five star Leisure Centre which should be complete around March 2017 and features alfresco dining, bowling green, heated pool, men’s shed and library.

Q) DO THEY CHARGE EXIT FEES? A) Nature’s Edge is an over 50s lifestyle community and we are not a traditional retirement village. At Natures Edge you keep all your capital gain if you decide to sell your home. There are no entry fees, no exit fees and no stamp duty.

Nature’s Edge Buderim is hosting an open day on July 30 from 11am-3pm. For more information phone 1800 218 898.

THE LIFESTYLE EDGE Edge couldn’t be better.

As an added bonus, it is within walking distance of the beautiful Pumicestone Passage and walking paths, and close proximity to the Caloundra Power Boat Club and boat ramp.

Developer Brad Teys says, with blocks selling, now is the time to look at the site.

“Targets retirees who are looking to downsize in luxury”

R

etirement shouldn’t signal the end of good living, rather it should be a time when lifestyle becomes a priority.

Many people view retirement as a time to downsize. After all, it makes sense. The last thing you want is to be worrying about the upkeep of a large

property. But, downsizing can be done in luxury and a terrific location, as evident by the development of Pelican Waters gated-community The Edge Residences.

Located alongside the soon-to-be constructed Pelican Waters town centre, and the existing shopping centre, tavern and medical centre, the location of The

“The development targets retirees who are looking to downsize in luxury.

Body corporate fees are under $800. This is the perfect step for those that don’t’ want to live in the confines in a unit, apartment or townhouse.

“The benefit of downsizing is low maintenance. Convenience is also very good.

“You can live your retirement in style.’’

The Edge development consists of 14 terrace home sites, some with deep water direct ocean access.

Residents have the choice of designing their own home. Bedrooms can be placed on the bottom floor for easy access, and each property includes secluded internal courtyards, ducted airconditioning, square set high ceilings and entertainer’s kitchen featuring European appliances.

SUPER PAINT JOB

S

upercars enthusiasts could feast their eyes on a special one off livery at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Townsville 400.

Tim Sladeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Freightliner Racing Commodore was decked out in Alliance Trucks Parts colours for the event.

Slade, who is placed eighth on the v8 Supercars championship leaders board, moved to the Brad Jones Racing team earlier this year and placed in three out of his four past races prior to the Townsville event.

The new paint job was unveiled at

Daimler Trucks Sunshine Coast last week.

Fans of the rural based team are used to seeing the bright yellow livery on Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Alliance Truck Parts car, but the recent change is entirely different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a successful couple of rounds for me and really awesome to get Freightliner Racing up on the podium,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Slade said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always look forward to getting to Townsville and I find the track provides a challenge for drivers.â&#x20AC;?

F

ord fans wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss Pacific Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth annual Total Performance Car Show, which will be held next month.

The event, to be held at Pacific Ford in Maroochydore, will showcase Australian, European and American performance models.

More than 140 cars are expected to be on show including a 1934 Tudor 427, a 1965 Mustang coupe and a 1973 Mustang convertible.

Branch manager Greg Manchester says organisers are still on the lookout for show vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our aim for this 2016 Total Performance Car Show is to have one of

each Falcon model on display in order to show our support for the nameplate we have enjoyed for the past 56 years, 24 specific models in all. We are also looking for the Euro 4â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, more Mustangs, old F trucks and rods but we especially need to find XK, XL, XR, XT, XF, ED, and an EF Falcon to finish our Falcon line up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a Ford V8 Super Car special guest on site and the popular race simulators will be back.â&#x20AC;?

The show is on Sunday, August 7 from 9am-3pm. It is free for spectators and car entries.

t’s the beginning of winter and you’ve considered selling your house, but all of the cardigan clad armchair experts are sipping the hot chocolate that sits atop their stable table, and saying: “Wait until spring… nothing ever sells in winter.”

Perhaps a little dramatic, but you understand the flawed concept that we’ve been dealt by various, and dubiously qualified, experts.

It’s hard to know exactly where this mythical notion originated but likely it was propagated in the colder southern states. Bitterly cold winters with excessive rainfall and snow are simply not our reality on the Sunshine Coast. The necessity to light the fire and don the wellies is rare.

Every year, we see many southern buyers and investors migrate to our cherished neck of the woods to escape their harsh climatic conditions.

One only has to look at areas like Alexandra Headland, Maroochydore and Mooloolaba to identify the numerous southerners who have chosen to spend

s Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull claimed victory at the weekend, Australia’s property watchdog wasted no time in raising the issue of housing.

On Sunday, the Housing industry Association issued a challenge to the newly elected government saying that a housing portfolio and ensuring a strong national focus on the industry is critical.

HIA’s chief economist Harley Dale says residential building activity has been the engine room of the

their hard earned cash in an exceptional location.

Every day, new and undiscriminating buyers wake up and hit the market with fresh eyes, a My Weekly Preview stashed under their arm, and a determination to seek out the best property for their scenario. This buyer activity is not restricted to spring and summer, so why on earth would we consider the plausibility of hesitating to sell in winter when buyers are cashed up and keen?

Two essential things for any property sale are competition and emotion. We need as many interested parties to connect on an emotional level with the home and then compete by either bidding to their maximum at auction, or putting their best foot forward on a price marketed property.

While winter may reduce spectators, the savvy buyers will be looking to make their purchases yearround. With quality buyers in the market ready to purchase, and the quantity of suitable homes lower than expected, the opportunity to sell at a healthy level is possible.

In our market, winter will favour the seller. This is a classic supply and demand equation.

If you can market your home in a time when there is less competition, you are likely to sell in a shorter time frame and possibly at a better price.

My advice to avoid the winter property blues is to work with a quality agent who specialises in your area. A great agent will have a list of qualified buyers regardless of the season.

Utilise the auction process to get the best from a competitive situation and reap the rewards.

“It has filled the void left by a contracting mining sector, and has gained some ground on a decade of undersupply in new housing. But there’s much more that needs to be done if Australia is to defend its AAA credit rating “The incoming Commonwealth Government needs to focus on building the new homes for our growing population, meeting the housing needs of our changing demographics, addressing the housing affordability challenges confronting younger generations, supporting the 321,595 businesses that operate across the residential building industry, and importantly, enabling

The industry generates more than $160 billion in national GDP each year – something which needs to be governed and supported by a Housing Minister, Dale says.

“Australia needs a Housing Minister. A senior minister in cabinet to provide national leadership, to coordinate federal, state and local government housing programs, to guide industry policy reform nationally, and ensure housing has a front seat in cabinet discussions around taxation reform, national budget repair, infrastructure and workforce development.”

SURF REPORT

So in my defence Magic Seaweed led me astray… that does not sound right does it? I mean Magic Seaweed the surfing website. It reported 20ft waves to hit J Bay when in actual fact 6–8ft waves appeared. Anyhoo, it is still on and Julian and Mick are still in the mix. I think Julian certainly is showing commitment given his war wounds.

Waves are on this weekend but is also throwing in the devil wind for good measure. Maybe they will get it wrong – as if that ever happens!

Happy Birthday to Al Hing. His shout for the next month he told me. And free puppies for all kids!

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Bream around a kilo are prolific on the rising tide from the mouth of Eudlo Creek to Chambers Islands. Fowl gut and mullet fillet are the preferred baits. Whiting are taking yabbies in front of the Picnic Point boat ramp. Flathead around Bli Bli bridge are using plastics.

SURF: The hot spot for trevally and tailor is Pincushion, either casting slugs or floating pillies with dawn and dusk the best. Dart and quality sea bream can be found from Twin Waters beach track to the bar.

OFFSHORE: Parrot, grassy sweetlip and moses perch are taking cut baits around the Gneerings with the better quality at dawn and dusk. Murphy’s Reef is firing along the north-eastern ledge with snapper, amberjack and sweetlip taking pillies and squid.

GAMEFISHING: There are bait schools galore in front of Point Cartwright with mac tuna and long-tails feasting hard. A few Spaniards are showing up at dawn on the north drop-off of the Inner Gneerings.

FRESHWATER: Lake Baroon is returning bass and spangled perch with lures worked along the weed line, or shrimps jigged near the drop offs. Lake Macdonald is also working well for bass and Mary River cod when medium divers are trolled from the boat ramp to the point opposite the scout den.

Somerset as always, is firing for bass and golden perch with good reports from Red Rod and right up near the power lines.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21) Stop gallivanting around in a fluster and focus on stabilising a relationship. With clear communication and diplomacy, you can get the partnership heading in a positive direction.

When it comes to joint finances, make sure you understand your responsibilities.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23) Get set for some relationship rumbles, as the full moon fires up a partnership problem that’s been brewing.

Try to be more objective about the situation crabs! If you become overemotional and unreasonable then it won’t help matters.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23) Prepare to sparkle and shine, as the sun joins Mercury and Venus in your sign! If you find yourself being drawn into a conflict with someone, then use your gift of the gab – and considerable charm – to slide out of the situation with plenty of style and grace.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23) Your private Virgo nature is emphasised on Tuesday and Wednesday. So make sure you connect with people who understand your particular peccadillos and need for privacy. But don’t let your perfectionist streak get in the way of trying new things.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23) Prepare for potential domestic dramas early in the week, when the full moonbeams light up your home zone. Librans love things to run efficiently but remember there’s manic full moon energy about, so drop the strict schedule and just take things as they come.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22) Expect plenty of calls, emails and texts, mostly to do with work or school. And strive to handle a problem in a positive way. Saturn boosts your ambitious streak mid-week. You have a plan and are keen to get ahead, but don’t trample others on your climb to the top.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23-Dec 21) Tuesday night’s full moon stimulates your money zone so it’s not a good week to go on a shopping spree or venture into real estate or stock market.

You’re likely to make important financial decisions based purely on your emotions, which are fluctuating under the full moon.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20) This week your concentration and attention to detail is even better than usual. So any work you do will be of a high standard, as others sit up and notice your talents. Coupled Capricorns – it’s a wonderful week to work on deepening the commitment between you.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19) The focus is firmly on partnerships. The more energy you put into supporting loved ones, the better the week will be. But don’t worry if you lose momentum, the dreams you dream now will manifest later on (especially if they involve a relationship).

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20) Dream big dreams, as the full moon urges you to draw up a list of your goals. On Tuesday or Wednesday you may need to get something off your chest.

But choose your confidante wisely. The planets also activate your wellbeing zone so take a look at your diet and fitness.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21) Your communication and learning zones are activated by the full moon. So it’s a terrific time to exercise your brain as you talk, text, research and converse. You’ll feel motivated to tackle a big DIY project when the sun joins Mercury and Venus in your domestic zone.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20) Resist the urge to be a bossy or rambunctious ram. The full moon charges up your career zone so think before you speak, especially at work. Otherwise you could say the wrong thing and upset others. The main quality you need to cultivate is patience.

THE LAST WORD

TALES FROM A FAMILY ROAD TRIP Richard O’Leary made some surprising discoveries on a recent driving tour of Queensland.

I

’ve lived in Queensland for nearly seven years now, which means a couple of things. I’m one of the one percent of people who don’t follow the Broncos or Cowboys, and I don’t know this state as well as many of you.

I have no intention of doing anything about the former, despite Parramatta’s year from hell. But to address the latter, I recently embarked on a driving tour of Queensland – well as much of it as I could within the limitations – a two-and-a-half week timeframe and two kids in the back seat.

Along the way I discovered a few things about the Sunshine State and life in general.

1. Isis Bus Lines near Childers has a unique reason to hate the global terrorism threat – sharing a name with the Islamic State can’t be good for business.

2. A ball on elastic has become big business – at the Airlie Beach markets at

least. Competition was so fierce between the two stallholders that I overheard one of the vendors tell a friend he was going to destroy the other operator.

3. Kids can be hard to please. Driving past the big mango in Bowen we tried to get our seven-year old a little excited – “Look at that big mango! Have you ever seen a mango that big?” My eldest looked it up and down before saying just one word: “fake”.

4. Showers in camp sites are designed for pygmies or other height challenged individuals – nothing like water blasting into your chest first thing in the morning.

5. The best graffiti we found was on the wall of a toilet at the REEF HQ aquarium in Townsville: “I don’t like fish”.

6. Comment of the trip: “Pause, pause” – my eldest, after the camper trailer came loose from the tow bar. Which would have been a fair call if that was what he was talking about. He was actually referring to

the audio book, which he couldn’t hear because his parents were freaking out as the trailer bounced around, held only by the safety chain.

7. Sightseeing at its worst – the thick plumes of dark smoke pouring out of chimneys at the sugar mill at Proserpine.

My five-year old asked: “Why do people litter our skies?”

8. Queensland is such a big state. In our 18 days we experienced freezing conditions where you could see your breath in the morning, and just days later were sweating by 9am.

9. Old microwaves used as mail boxes have become a thing in rural Queensland.

10. And finally, even great trips can’t be full of highlights – during those 2000-plus kilometres I found out my youngest son barracks for… the Broncos. roleary@myweeklypreview.com.au.
