aul Kelly is one of many stars who has performed at the Caloundra Music Festival, and the chorus from one of his most popular songs probably best sums up the progress of the event over the past 10 years: “From little things big things grow”. Starting with just 22 bands on two stages and attracting 5500 people – the region’s signature musical extravaganza this weekend is expected to draw 36,000 people, who will get the chance to see 80 bands on five stages. In this edition we take a look at the first decade of the CMF. Also this week you get to meet a man who has drawn art and music together for a unique local exhibition, have a quick chat with one of the region’s best known radio presenters and hit the road to experience all the glories of glamping.

There’s also plenty of property, including a close-up look at Kawana Waters.

Enjoy, and I’ll see you next week.

QUICK CHAT

QUEEN OF THE AIRWAVES

ABC Sunshine Coast radio presenter Annie Gaffney found her ideal job by knocking on the door and asking to be given a go.

FIRST JOB?

BEST DAY IN YOUR LIFE?

Well, if you want to go right the way back, I worked as a waitress in a little suburban French restaurant in Brisbane.

I did plenty of waitressing to pay my way through uni – it’s hard work.

We have to make that plural. Each of the days my three boys were born.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON?

The day I knocked on the door at ABC Sunshine Coast and the news editor agreed to let me do a trial. I’d been thinking for a couple of years about trying to get into radio. As soon as I knocked on the radio door, it opened for me, and I knew straight away that I’d found my true career.

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

I’ve got a great idea for a new radio program with the ABC. Stand by – let’s see if they like it.

YOUR FAMILY INCLUDES. . .

YOUR GREATEST REGRET?

Three sons, a stepson and stepdaughter, and now a daughter-in-law.

Not getting into radio sooner.

Not really, but at work, I get called AG or Annie G a lot.

WHAT ACHIEVEMENT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?

FIRST CAR?

Raising my three sons, who are all really beautiful, grounded, good people.

DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME?

A very cool old HD Holden station wagon.

YOU ARE HAPPIEST WHEN?

FAVOURITE BOOK?

I’m at a live music gig – preferably right up the front.

Middlemarch by George Elliot.

WHAT FRUSTRATES YOU THE MOST?

WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW?

When I see ordinary people being hurt by ill thought-out government policies, or the wheels of government turning so slowly, that an issue gets resolved too slowly to help the people affected.

Tim Winton’s new book – The Boy Behind the Curtain.

FAVOURITE SONG? 7 Seconds by Neneh Cherry and Youssou N’Dour – gives me goosebumps.

BEST ADVICE YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN? Invest your time, love and attention in the people who do the same for you.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED ON THE SUNSHINE COAST? Twenty-six years.

WHY DO YOU LIVE HERE? I holidayed on the Coast as a teenager and loved it, but as an adult I moved here to be closer to family. All these years later, it’s because you can’t beat the sheer beauty of the Coast’s natural environment and the personal space and freedom I enjoy living here.

HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH YOUR FRUSTRATIONS?

FAVOURITE PLACE ON THE COAST? Tea Tree Bay, Noosa National Park.

By listening to these people, telling their stories, and where appropriate, holding the government accountable.

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

IF YOU COULD TELL YOUR 18 YEAR-OLD SELF ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Point Glorious at Cooloolabin for gobsmacking views, and if you’re lucky, you might get to check out some abseilers at play too.

What other people think of you is not your business. It’s a great Buddhist saying and it frees you up to be yourself.

TEA OR COFFEE?

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ON THE COAST, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Coffee – I’m still stuck in the ‘80s and love a good double-shot cappuccino – it’s all about the froth.

The public transport system. I’d wave my magic wand and we’d have a dual high speed rail line to Brisbane, a light rail system locally, and frequent local buses to knit it altogether.

Choose iQ Shutters for all your

NRL OR AFL? Neither. It’s football of another kind for me – soccer.

COVER STORY

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF SUN, SURF AND SOUL

IMAGE: CARLYLOOYAH.COM.AU

PHOTO: DANIELHINE

Ten years ago the Caloundra Music Festival started from scratch, with high hopes and a determination to succeed. A decade later and it has become a must-see on the festival circuit and this weekend’s event is expected to attract more than 36,000 people. To mark this milestone year, My Weekly Preview has taken a trip back in time to re-live the big moments with festival director, Richie Eyles.

“The tickets for the festival sold out in a day, which made us start thinking about how big we could grow” – Richie Eyles

DIARY OF A DECADE

R

ichie Eyles has been organising the Caloundra Music Festival from day one – so we asked him to take My Weekly Preview readers on a trip back in time to revisit all the memorable moments of the iconic event over the past 10 years – this is his diary of a decade.

2007 • Obviously memorable as the first event, we had no real identity or personality as a festival.

• With a first festival anything can happen – so we were not sure what we were prepared for or getting into.

• 2007 featured an interesting and electric line-up of iconic Australian bands e.g.

Jimmy Barnes, Ross Wilson, Daryl

10 My Weekly Preview | September 30, 2016

10.indd 1

Braithwaite, Mental as Anything, James Blundell.

• We started our longstanding relationship with New Orleans and brought out Jon Cleary and Absolute Monster Gentlemen to perform.

• Jon went swimming though not between the flags and almost drowned. Luckily for him and the festival, he was saved by some local lifeguards and then went on to give a great performance (in front of the lifeguards who saved him).

2008 • In 2008 we upped the ante with Pete Murray and the Whitlams.

• We were still finding our feet, but buoyed on by the success of the first event.

• Daryl Braithwaite enjoyed the first festival so much, he came back to headline for a second time.

2009 • Great performances by Augie March and Hoodoo Gurus.

• Slowly starting to develop a festival personality and identity.

2010 • One of the most memorable years.

• We had snared Powderfinger as the headliners, who then announced they were going on their farewell tour.

• The tickets for the festival sold out in a day,

which made us start thinking about how big we could grow.

• To go from a smallish festival to something this big, we’d never considered the concept of selling out.

• It was also memorable in that the festival went on in near cyclonic conditions, which presented a new set of challenges, not faced before.

• By the end we had to shut the festival and move the remaining acts to the pub across the road.

• Some of the more lucky punters who stayed, got to see Paul Kelly in a more intimate pub venue.

2011 • Hard one to follow after the success of myweeklypreview.com.au

27/09/2016 10:58:56 AM

COVER STORY

FAST FACTS • The crowds loved the Baby Animals.

• Wolfmother went off – we had them in a smaller tent which was packed and had a great energy and vibe.

• John Butler came back and gave a solo performance, as his bass player had broken his arm. It was one of his best performances at CMF by far.

• Tina Arena was an absolute pleasure to work with and partied on till the wee hours of the morning.

• Daryl Braitwaite had firmly established himself as a cult CMF figure popular across all ages groups.

• Even teenagers love him – as the man who does the horse song.

2012

• Aggregate attendance year one was 5500, anticipated aggregate attendance in 2016 is anticipated to be 36,000-plus • Almost 180,000 music lovers have enjoyed nine festivals • Year one featured 22 bands on two stages, year 10 will feature 80 bands on five stages • 460 bands performed in the past 10 years • 54 have performed at two or more festivals • Daryl Braithwaite, Blue King Brown, Lisa Hunt and Melbourne Ska Orchestra have all graced the stage at four festivals • Headline acts from year one included Jimmy Barnes, Richard Clapton and Mental as Anything • Headline Acts in 2016 include Michael Franti and Spearhead, Guy Sebastian, The Cat Empire, Icehouse and Kate Miller-Heidke • In 2010 the festival secured Powderfinger on their farewell tour and they performed in near cyclonic conditions • CMF has featured some of Australia’s biggest and best acts over the past 10 years, e.g. Powderfinger, John Butler Trio, Wolfmother, Empire of the Sun, Xavier Rudd, Boy and Bear, Angus and Julia Stone, The Cat Empire, The Living End, Eskimo Joe, Missy Higgins, Paul Kelly, Jimmy Barnes and many more • Over the past 10 years, CMF has developed a relationship with the city of New Orleans and has featured many of her most famous musicians including Alan Toussaint, Jon Cleary, Dumpstphunk, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Trombone Shorty, Royal Southern Brotherhood, George Porter and Galactic, just to name a few • Other international acts have included Tower Of Power, Earth, Wind and Fire, JJ Grey and Mofro, Roy Ayers, The Baseballs, Katchafire, Donavon Frankenreiter, Sierra Leonie Refugee Allstars, Babylon Circus, Andrew Strong and many others • In 2016, CMF is expected to contribute $10 million to the local economy • Our volunteer team has grown from a tiny group of 50 in 2007 to over 550 in 2016.

2015 • In 2015 we had our first foray into hip hop with AllDay and Thundamentals – the kids loved it and they suited our eclectic line-up.

• Xavier Rudd came back with his big band and it was an amazing highlight performance.

• Ben Lee performed and declared it was the best festival he ever gigged at.

2010 and the Powderfinger performance, but we tried to up the ante with some big acts.

• We were able to snare Empire of the Sun, which was a new style of music for the festival.

• We were also certainly in a rebuilding phase after the Powderfinger year.

• We really started to hone our personality and firmly decided that we were eclectic and didn’t necessarily need to rely on big names to sell tickets.

• There was a strong international contingent in 2011, Jon Cleary came back and we brought out Tower of Power for the first time (who are back again this year).

• We had really found our feet by this stage and had started to build on our brand personality.

• John Butler first became associated with the festival, which was great because people liked him and he liked us.

• We’d say that 2012 was the best CMF yet.

Best line-up, amazing atmosphere, great weather, good vibe. Great year.

Guy Sebastian

2013

The Jezabels

• The performance from Earth Wind and Fire is a highlight in terms of all of the acts we’ve had.

• The Baseballs from Germany were brilliant.

• Great to have Xavier Rudd come back – and he gave a great performance. He is another really iconic act that suits CMF – like John Butler.

2014 • By this stage we were building the crowds and festival by about 40 per cent year on year.

$500,000 WORTH OF BEDS AND MATTRESSES TO BE CLEARED IN 7 DAYS Innersprings, Pillowtops, Bedroom Suites and Latex all at Amazing Low Prices. Sale starts Friday 30th September must end Sunday 9th October Mattress Manufacturer has put out a challenge to clear $500,000 worth of beds and mattress in 7 days. To do this he has discounted his entire range of beds and mattresses at amazingly low prices. You will benefit from this challenge as you can get great beds and mattresses at very low prices. I will give you a sample of savings in a second but let me give a reason for this challenge. You see this election had really slowed the retail sector. Sales had dropped over 30%. We nearly had a hung parliament. All these uncertainties had slowed the economy down. Thank god this is all over now. We need to catch up on sales. The only way we will meet our targets is to sell $500,000 worth of beds and mattresses this week. To make this challenge achievable they have decided to run this at their factory in Sumner Park and the outlets as well. It is going to be very exciting says the manager of Brendale outlet.

We did this a couple of years ago. All our staff are extremely excited about this challenge says John. A lot of these beds and mattresses are sold below wholesale prices. If you are thinking of changing your mattress or ensemble then this is the time to act. Come in and have a look at the savings you can make. Don't miss out and be disappointed.

QUEEN Ensemble

This pocket coil ensemble is great for people with differing body weight. It will reduce partner disturbance. You won't roll into each other. The pillow top has natural latex which gives you the longevity to the mattress. The pillow top will conform to your body shape ond the mattress will support you in the right places. It olso has a unique foam box oround the springs to extra strength. This allows you ta even lie on the edge of the mattress and not feel like rolling out the mattress.

What’s more, they are resilient, durable, and have a natural ability to resist bacteria and dust mites.

10 WEEKS HAVE YOUR SAY Now is the time for Caloundra residents to share their ideas and visions for the future of their town centre. The draft Caloundra Centre Master Plan proposes new urban structure and defines four precincts to encourage community activity and promote business and employment. “The draft Master Plan encourages a strong mix of commercial, tourist, community, sport, education and living opportunities,’’ says councillor Tim Dwyer. Community feedback closes on October 7.

Visit sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

The new state-of-the art YMCA Caloundra is one of the many locations across the Coast to be part of the council’s new Healthy Sunshine Coast initiative designed to provide the region with free physical fitness opportunities over 10 weeks. YMCA Group Manager for Fitness and Recreation Michael Tsiamis says the free sessions will see participants attend two 60-minute sessions per week delivered by YMCA trainers at the YMCA or in local parks. Visit the council’s website to register.

GET THE BLOOD PUMPING How many hills can you cycle? This is the question being asked by organisers of The Buderim 9 Challenge.

Registration is now open for the fundraiser, which will see cyclists face the challenge of tackling nine of Buderim’s toughest hills, and 75 kilometres, to raise awareness and funds for the Sunshine Coast disability service, CPL. “Last year raised more than $16,000 to support children and families on the Sunshine Coast with cerebral palsy,” says CPL’s Carmel Smith. The event is on December 18.

NEWS SUMMARY

REVIEW SEEKING BRIGHT IDEAS The State Government will trial technology to enforce the minimum passing distance between cyclists and motorists. Main Roads and Road Safety Minister Mark Bailey says the government was putting safety first by seeking technology to help better understand compliance with the road rules.

“We want to identify available devices that can measure the passing distance between cyclists and motorists. Tenders are now open.”

10 LOCALS WIN HACKERS AWARDS Local hackers have shared in $3000 of prizes from the 2016 GovHack competition that aims to uncover new digital products and services that can benefit the community. Sunshine Coast creative technologist Mic Black won the Spirit of GovHack award, and took out the Spirit of GovHack Queensland State Title for creating the random idea generator. Other winners included Dr Mark Utting, Michael Conolly, and Lin Liu who took out the Sustainability category, with their device for the elderly and disabled to make it easier to engage people and make them feel less isolated. A total of 10 Coast people were recognised at the awards.

$90,000 FREE VACCINES Pregnant women in the Sunshine Coast region are being encouraged to get vaccinated against whooping cough. The vaccine, which is free for women in their third trimester, can protect newborn babies against whooping cough until they can receive their first immunisation at six weeks. There have been more than 25,000 notifications of whooping cough since the start of 2011 and six Queensland babies died from whooping cough between 2000 and 2015.

Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service’s Dr Rosie Muller says there is an annual average of 469 cases of the illness on the Coast. Visit qld.gov.au/vaccinate.

The team behind the Restart in a Safe Environment initiative are seeking help to raise $90,000 in 90 days. Coast2Bay Housing Group and the Zonta Club of Caloundra are fundraising for the RISE project, to construct two short-term accommodation facilities for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. “The long-term welfare of children is one of primary importance in seeking to move families to a safer environment,’’ Zonta’s Kelly Callaghan says. Phone 5451 2952.

COULD WE STAGE THE OLYMPICS? Mayor Mark Jamieson has welcomed the decision by the Council of Mayors South East Queensland to proceed with a feasibility study into a possible 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games bid for the region. The feasibility study will include a long-term, region-wide People Mass Movement study; a detailed analysis of current sporting and performing arts venues and future needs; and a full Olympic feasibility study. “These studies will deliver highly valuable information and insights that could underpin future planning and decision making,’’ he says. The council has committed more than $214,000 to the feasibility study process.

BOLD BLUE LIPS It’s one of this year’s hottest makeup trends but it takes attitude to pull it off. Whatever you do, don’t pair it with blue eyeshadow. Just a swipe of mascara or black liquid eyeliner will do the trick.

1. M.A.C. Designer Blue is a high metallic deep ocean blue, $36.00 from the M.A.C. counter at Myer.

2. NYX Wicked Lippies in Envy offers rich pigment to make your lips pop, $12.95 from Priceline.

3. Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Heroine.

Intensely pigmented and injected with vitamin C and E, $28 from Mecca Maxima (opening September 30 at Sunshine Plaza).

SUMMER TREND: TEA STAINED EYES

FRESH FACED BEAUTY

Alll eyes on Emily Emily Ratajkowski turned heads on the red carpet at this year’s Emmy Awards in a deep blue mermaid gown complemented by stunning blue eyeliner. Makeup artist Hung Vanngo created a classic cat eye but opted for jewel-toned bright blues that made her brown eyes stand out. To get the look, try M.A.C. Pro Longwear Eyeliner, which delivers long-lasting creamy dense colour that glides on smoothly. $37.00 in Mountain air (a vibrant teal) or Night Trail, a deep navy blue.

A big trend for spring/summer eye makeup is tea stained eyes with a glossy look. Think sepia, soft caramel and nutty tones that are warm and have a little sheen to them. The trend is all about effortless eyes without harsh definition, so opt for a brown kohl pencil rather than a heavy black eyeliner to complete this look. Try: Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Sideline $31 Mecca Maxima, or Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow in Camel, $42 from Myer. Finish with M.A.C. Clear Studio Eye Gloss, $45.

A fresh, minimalist look is the biggest skin trend right now. The more naked the skin, the better, with invisible, dreamy skin and ‘no makeup makeup’ a popular look. It all starts with well-nourished skin that gleams with radiance, so get your skincare routine up to scratch with an antioxidant-packed serum like Vital C Elixir from Mukti Organics, $109.95 from Kunara Organic Marketplace. Opt for a BB or CC cream rather than a heavy foundation, and go for subtle highlighting with a golden glow. You can achieve this with Nude by Nature’s Touch of Glow Highlight Stick in champagne, $24.95 from Priceline.

MY LIFE

HEALTHY FOOD SWAPS

AUSSIES EATING TOO MUCH JUNK

James Colquhoun from Food Matters has some healthy swaps for the decadent treats we love to indulge in.

O

ne-third of Australians eat too much junk food, with a nationwide survey confirming our eating habits are well below par.

Just one per cent of people are avoiding junk food, according to the 2016 CSIRO Healthy Diet Score report.

“We find that there is often a tendency to under-report on certain types of food, so in all likelihood that figure is even higher,” says Professor Manny Noakes.

The CSIRO report showed that construction workers were among those with the poorest diets, while public servants, real estate agents and health industry workers reported some of the healthiest eating patterns.

Women also have better nutritional levels than men.

Researchers at the CSIRO canvassed the dietary habits of more than 86,500 adults across the country over a 12-month period and found four out of five Australians have a below par diet.

Overall the nation was awarded a diet score of 59 out of 100.

The closest we get to meeting Australian Dietary Guidelines is the fruit food group where 49 per cent of respondents meet the recommended intake.

Prof Noakes says Australia has an image of being fit and healthy but this is not so and people need to act now to improve their diets to better fight the battle against obesity and type 2 diabetes.

“If we can raise our collective score by just over 10 points, we help Australia mitigate against the growing rates of obesity and lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and a third of all cancers,” Professor Noakes says.

“All people need to do is halve the bad and double the good. In other words, halve the amount of discretionary food you eat and double your vegetable intake.” AAP

H

ere is the last of my series on healthy substitutes for much loved but unhealthy foods: Milk chocolate: It takes 13 minutes of skipping to burn off the calories from a 40-gram bar.

Healthy swap: Choose quality over quantity and throw in some extra goodness.

Gently heat a small amount of raw vegan dark chocolate until just melted, then dip a fresh strawberry in the chocolate mix until the strawberry is 50 per cent submerged. Set the strawberries aside on a tray for the chocolate to cool, then enjoy. Berry chocolate bliss.

McDonald’s Big Mac: It takes 80 minutes of moderate exercise on an elliptical trainer to burn off the calories from a Big Mac. Healthy swap: If you really love eating burgers, why not make some healthier versions yourself? Choose a gluten-free bun.

Make a veggie patty or use lean mince (ground beef) from grass-fed, free-range sources. Hold the cheese or opt for an organic, free-range source. Pack your burger bun with heaps of extra salad.

Buffalo Wings – It takes 80 minutes of moderate rowing to burn off the calories from 10 of these deep-fried chicken wings.

Healthy swap: Use organic chicken thighs instead of chicken wings. Chicken thighs are succulent, tender and a much healthier cut of meat. Make your own marinades using freshly ground spices. Lightly pan fry or oven roast the chicken thighs and coat the thigh fillets in some gluten-free breadcrumbs or light batter before cooking.

Banana Split – You’d have to do 90 minutes of indoor bowling to work off the calories from a banana split.

Healthy swap: Use half a large banana or a small lady finger. Add a small scoop of dairy free ice-cream, or plain organic yogurt, with a dash of maple syrup. Drizzle in a small amount of fair trade dark chocolate and scatter a small quantity of chopped, activated nuts over the top.

TRAVEL

The Port Stephens coast in New South Wales

CAMPING IN STYLE

A glamping weekend blends back-to-nature relaxation with the luxury of creature comforts.

I

am, by and large, a happy camper.

I spent my formative years chasing wild deer away from open tins of baked beans; wading through streams in hopes of encountering leeches; and chasing the dream that is successfully locking one’s elder sister inside a dome tent using nothing more than a hair elastic.

Not so my beloved, whose concept of a back-to-nature experience involves swapping his morning Weet-Bix for granola.

And so it is in the spirit of compromise that we pack ourselves into our humble Yaris for a decidedly on-road adventure.

It will be our first weekend away in almost two years, and our last before we are due to wed in the spring. We could use a holiday.

We are bound for the Thou Walla Sunset Retreat at Soldiers Point, Port Stephens.

Less than three hours’ drive north of Sydney, it is one of a growing number of glamping destinations popping up along the NSW coast.

Thou walla – pronounced ‘dha walla’ – is a Worimi word meaning “meeting or gathering place”. The Worimi people have lived in and around this area for centuries, and only a few weeks before our stay, the State Government declares almost six hectares of land at Soldiers Point an official Aboriginal place, in recognition of its special significance to the

Worimi community.

Somewhere between a campsite and a laid-back seaside resort, Thou Walla offers 10 safari tents set amongst lush native gardens and promises an escape from the city for couples who don’t know their pegs from their poles. There are also one- and two-bedroom villas and cottages on offer for those unwilling to go full canvas.

Our tent is perfectly positioned. I’ve barely set down my overnight bag but with one look at the view – our flyscreen ‘windows’ look directly out onto the marina and the water beyond – I’m ready to go exploring.

My fiance, who has already kicked off his shoes and settled in on the massive daybed on our private timber deck for a spot of Candy Crush, needs a little more convincing.

I hustle him away from the tent and we meander down to a nearby wooden pier to watch the sun set over the Karuah River and dangle our feet over the edge in silent contemplation.

It is the kind of peace I’ve rarely found outside midsummer trips to far-flung beaches and it is broken only by the sound of my partner’s stomach rumbling – a reminder we have a dinner reservation.

We make our way to The Point, which sits atop the marina just footsteps away from Thou Walla, and could hold its own alongside

Sydney’s waterside dining offerings.

One hundred-and-eighty-degree views of the water compete for our attention with the food itself.

The Sea Breeze cocktail is sweet but not saccharine, and the Tasmanian salmon melts in my mouth.

My fiance finishes his cannelloni – baked eggplant, capsicum, spinach, pine nut and fetta in a white miso sauce – and then eyes his empty plate with a look I fear signals he is about to lick it.

I hiss at him that I still have time to call off the wedding and he wordlessly pushes it away.

By the time we have polished off dessert – a buttery rhubarb and apple crumble – we are so overstuffed that it’s all we can manage to stagger back up to our tent and fall into our king-sized bed.

Between the fireplace and the flat-screen TV, it’s easy to forget we’re supposed to be roughing it.

But a whiff of the compost toilet in our ensuite is enough to jog my memory, and the birdcall that cuts through the thin walls of our tent takes me straight back to childhood trips out bush.

And in the morning I wake to find fiance back on our deck, looking out across the river, with nary a smartphone in sight.

Master Builders Display Village - Parklakes 2

Thou Walla Sunset Retreat’s luxury tents

IF YOU GO GETTING THERE: Soldiers Point is under three hours’ drive from Sydney, and only 15 minutes by car from the popular seaside resort town of Nelson Bay. The Port Stephens region is serviced by Newcastle Airport, which offers connections to east coast capital cities and some regional centres, including the Gold Coast, Dubbo and Taree.

STAYING THERE: Thou Walla Sunset Retreat offers safari tent accommodation as well as villas and cottages for those who want a more traditional weekender experience. With only 10 tents available, reservations are recommended. Visit twsr.com.au.

PLAYING THERE: Hop on a quad bike or even a camel to explore the nearby Stockton Bight Sand Dunes, the longest moving sand dunes in the southern hemisphere. These other-worldly dunes reach heights of over 30 metres.

PROFILE

WHERE ART MEETS MUSIC Barrie Morrisson mixes art with music and has crossed paths with the rich and famous in a career that has taken a long and winding road.

H

ow Caloundra’s Barrie Morrison came to be in possession of Elton John’s glasses is a long story. The co-owner of Holloway Gallery at Moffat Beach collects music memorabilia and is exhibiting some fascinating pieces during October to coincide with the Caloundra Music Festival.

You can try on Elton’s groovy glasses, read the lyrics to LA Woman handwritten in Jim Morrison’s poetic scrawl, and see drum pads signed by the drummers of the Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, KISS and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The story of how such a collection came to find a home on the Coast fits into place when you chat to Morrison, who is connected to some of the greatest musicians in history.

A bass guitarist and “bad piano” player, he ventured to Vietnam as a 17-year-old to play for the troops in his band Xanadu.

“My brother was the drummer, my sister was the singer and we had two Aussie friends,” he says. “We went to Vietnam for seven months in 1971 to entertain the American troops. We played pop music, straight up what was current, songs like We Gotta Get Out of this Place, everything the Americans wanted to hear.”

They lived in Bangkok for 18 months, performing on TV shows and sending their music to potential record labels. To their delight, Maurice Gibb from the Bee Gees signed them up and at the tender age of 18, Morrisson found himself living in London playing music. Then in 1974, he and his bandmates opened one of the first budget multi-track recording studios in the country.

“I spent ten years in the UK in the music business and we had a lot of famous bands doing their demos in our studio,” Morrisson says. “In those days, opening a recording studio was a hard thing to do – it was a big deal. There were lots of budget recording studios but we were only the second to do a budget multi track – or 16-track studio.

Annie Holloway and Barrie Morrisson

See Elton John’s glasses and Jim Morrison’s lyrics up close and personal “We started with the Elton John Band, we had a number one with Mark Bolan and the T. Rex song I Like to Boogie. He used to come down, he grew up in Stoke Newington where our studio was. All the fans would be outside and he’d get them to wash his Rolls Royce.

“The chap we owned the studio with, who remains a friend to this day, his parents were Elton John’s housekeepers for 20 years. Martin has the most phenomenal collection of Elton John memorabilia. Elton never bought a shirt – he would buy 10 shirts if he liked that shirt, all Versaces. Martin has a collection of his

glasses, so I asked him if I could have a pair; they’re multi-coloured camouflage, very ‘70s and very cool. I also have a pair of Elton’s trousers, which are the famous Eton College woollen pin stripe trousers.

“I never met Elton but through this friend Martin, I got some wonderful stories. He’s had a lot of flak in the media over the years, but god his generosity was ridiculous.”

Morrison says while England was a music hub in the ‘60s, in the ‘70s the music scene was wilder in Australia than it was in London.

But then along came the Sex Pistols and changed everything.

“We recorded the Sex Pistols,” he says.

“We recorded Anarchy in the UK and God Save the Queen in our studio. Malcolm McLaren was the manager, they were just pimply kids. He was clever, he was such an out there sort of guy so I can remember him more. The punk thing was a movement that was happening and I was thinking, this is horrible. It wasn’t about music, it was about fashion and London was always about that. It was society saying, let’s get back to the garage and make music.”

It’s clear Morrisson could talk about music all day and music fans can hear his stories in person at the Holloway Gallery during October’s ‘music month’ exhibition, where it’s not only music memorabilia on display, but also music inspired artwork, such as Anar Higgins’ melting guitars.

“Anar’s stuff, it is what the gallery is about,” Morrisson says. “I don’t want to look at art and say, I could have done that. I’d love to think it’s artistically clever and Anar’s guitars certainly are. You think, woah, that’s really well done and it fits into eveything we’ve done.

“The tie-in of music and art is a fabulous thing. There’s so many artists who like music and so many musicians who don’t try their hand at art. Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones, Bowie, McCartney, they were all very much into art.”

Holloway Gallery was established by Morrisson’s partner Annie Holloway and represents artists from Spain, USA, Russia, the UK, Japan and South Africa, as well as selected Australian and local artists.

MY OPINION

OLD-SCHOOL MANNERS

IN SEARCH OF COMMON SENSE

Sami Muirhead likes the idea of sending handwritten thank-you notes – but actually doing it is another matter.

Andrew Pitcher says we need to stop procrastinating on issues that affect our region so we can start to see more positive outcomes.

E

lle Macpherson parents like a boss when it comes to manners and discipline. The 52-year-old mum of two has told the media she makes her sons send a handwritten thank-you note whenever they receive a gift from a family or friend. And if they do not conform to this rule within 24 hours, the gift is confiscated.

And when you think it cannot get any better, Elle added the present is then given to charity.

On top of that, she runs a business empire, has a successful TV career and seems to have a secret stash to the Elixir of Youth. At first I was in total awe of Elle’s thank-you note policy. Elle’s sons (Flynn, 18 and Cy, 13) could easily be rich, good looking kids who are spoilt little brats.

But then I thought this thank-you note policy through. It is a wobbly platform to want to stand on and deliver.

When I had only one child I am pretty sure I did keep up to date with thank-yous and phoning relatives on birthdays. Then child number two came along and we got busier.

Then child three came along and the house is a mess and I’m lucky if I remember to wash the kid’s uniforms for school the next day, feed the dogs, rock up to work with brushed hair.

I am not sure I can enforce handwritten thank-you notes. A sad but realistic fact of

life at the moment. And not just a cop out when you have multiple kids.

I could start with sending thank-you notes for my four-year-old son’s gifts he was showered with when he was born. Did I mention he is four? I actually printed photos of his little newborn chubby face and even wrote on each card, but then never got over the finish line that is taking them to the post office and posting them. Fail.

They sat in my car for about one year and in the end I got so sick of feeling guilty every time I looked at them I threw them in the bin on my way to grabbing a takeaway coffee.

I do love the fact that Elle insists on handwritten notes.

A recent study by Deakin University showed over one-third of Aussies never write about personal thoughts, goals or feelings.

I do not need a survey to know we are all writing less and less. I still receive a handwritten note from my father every few weeks. He has beautiful penmanship and writes from the his heart with big bold words flowing across the pages like music. He uses stickers and draws little pictures on the envelopes. And he always puts actual stamps on the lovingly created masterpieces. Those letters are treasures and when one is sitting on my desk for me to open, my soul sings with joy. Not even Elle can top that one.

“I still receive a handwritten note from my father every few weeks”

often wonder how it is these days that, with a 24-hour news cycle, social media and more access to information than at any other time in our history, we are still completely missing the point on so many issues. Economically and socially, common sense seems in such short supply that it has become decidedly uncommon.

The easiest, most efficient and most positive solutions are being ignored, compromised or watered down.

At our local school, the community has been lobbying multiple agencies for a pedestrian crossing on a busy intersection which is used twice daily by dozens of children. While everyone agrees the solution is the right one, rather than take immediate steps to remedy, there has been a constant shuffling of responsibilities, papers and jurisdictions. Will it take child being seriously injured to get action?

Have you tried understanding how you can get the NBN to your house? After billions and billions of investment dollars, the last few metres of connection is about as intuitive as assembling Ikea furniture. We don’t have a common sense roll-out plan with an outcome in mind.

A major road in one of our hinterland towns doesn’t yet join in the middle. There is good intent to make the connection but construction estimates have blown out significantly. Rather than find a way to deliver the outcome for the town, we are applying process, rules and complexity – so

the road won’t get built any time soon.

Then there is an example I heard recently where a widow has taken two years, and several letters to the CEO of a big four bank, to get her deceased husband’s name removed from statements and other documentation. Two years.

Any finally, there is the furore over the recent non-compliance of a high rise development in Mooloolaba. Sure, planning regulations are there for a reason and there should be penalties for those who flaunt

“Economically and socially, common sense seems in short supply” them, but a degree of common sense is required to continue to encourage investment, which brings jobs and modern accommodation here.

Mark Twain once said: “We need to stop calling it common sense. This assumes that it is common and everyone has it. We need to start calling it un-common sense because so few people seem to have it.”

Our plan for the region is fantastic but we have to execute many things better. Let’s stop using excuses, fear, laziness and complexity to decide the way forward. Let’s get some outcomes.

A showcase of new AI (artificial intelligence) developments is the focus of the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) which has started in Taipei.

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang delivered presentations on Wednesday, which included demonstrating such AI applications as self-driving cars and 3D virtual reality glasses.

Huang played a video of the BB8 self-driving car in the United States, which partly included images from the perspective of the electronic eye inside the vehicle that uses NVIDIA’s AI technology.

The video shows the system’s initially flawed driving but then “after 3,000 miles of learning” a passenger is able to play with his mobile phone while the car drives faultlessly along roads and highways.

Huang also demonstrated the HTC VR glasses showing the inside of an office, and explained that this technology can be used both for gaming and engineering purposes.

This year marks 20 years since the tragic murder of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsay.

The unsolved case remains one of the most infamous American murders of all time and has attracted the interest of criminologists and the general public alike.

Former FBI profiler Jim Clemente, criminal behavioural analyst Laura Richards and CBS’ Criminal Minds casting director Lisa Zambetti dig deep into the facts and evidence surrounding the case in this podcast.

The Ramsay case is just one case that the three investigate as they profile behaviour from real criminal cases including the Colonial Parkway Murders and the trial of Oscar Pistorius.

Is Dementia in your family?

Did you know you can prevent cognitive decline?

Are you not as sharp as you used to be? Do you have a relative or close friend diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease? Would you like to reduce your risk before it’s too late through addressing factors that can contribute to memory loss and cognitive decline?

Ageing itself is a multi-dimensional process comprising of physical, psychological, social and genetic factors, that vary and interact over the course of a lifetime. The global population suffering from dementia is rising, with around 4.6 million new cases each year, with total numbers projected to reach over 131 million by the year 2050. We can take action to reduce cognitive decline at any age.

HILL CHALLENGE

Dementia will become the leading cause of death for women within just a few years.

If you identify and remove the triggers and contributing factors early, you can reduce the often irreversible damage seen in the brains of dementia patients, the most commonly known is Alzheimer’s disease. The bottom line is this: it all comes down to neuronal energy, if brain cells die, the result is loss of function.

But what contributes to the death of our brain neurons? There are a number of easily identifiable factors that can be treated, such as heavy metal toxicity, high cortisol levels caused by stress, oxidative and free radical damage from a poor diet or food intolerances, inflammation from bacterial infection, imbalanced brain chemical production, viruses, low mitochondrial function compounded by alcohol and smoking, nutrient deficiencies and simply not enough oxygen to the brain.

You don’t have to sit around and wait to see if it will happen to you, take charge and pave the way for a bright, functioning and perceptive future. You don’t work hard your whole life to not reap the benefits of a healthy and rewarding retirement. Through specialised testing and thorough assessment to remove any and all underlying causes, you can insure your quality of life in the future. With professional advice from one of our trained integrative medical practitioners, you no longer have to be a statistic, but instead age with the grace, clarity and vitality you deserve.

FROM THE MAYOR

One of the important roles our council plays is partnering with government agencies and community organisations to develop new initiatives and programs that help the vulnerable and create opportunities for all.

One of those initiatives is coming up soon – Queensland Mental Health Week which runs from October 9 to 15.

This is an important opportunity for our community to acknowledge and reflect upon mental health, take action to promote mental health and wellbeing and reduce the stigma of mental ill health.

The theme for Mental Health Week this year is to ‘value mental health’ – that of our own, our loved ones, friends and colleagues – at home, work and at play.

When we are mentally well, we can form positive relationships, use our abilities to reach our potential and deal with life’s challenges.

So let’s work together to reduce the stigma of mental ill health and help save lives.

For more details, go to qldmentalhealthweek.org.au.

GAMECHANGER UPDATE

MILESTONE AT SOLAR FARM There’s plenty of progress happening at our Sunshine Coast Solar Farm, with the first solar panel table about to be lifted into place and secured.

When the 15-megawatt (MV) solar farm is complete, Sunshine Coast Council will become Australia’s first local government to offset 100 per cent of its electricity consumption from clean energy across all its facilities and operations.

The solar farm will see council proactively take control of our electricity supply to combat rising electricity costs, which are, on average, 14 per cent higher in Queensland compared to last financial year.

Located at Valdora, west of Coolum, the solar farm will deliver $22 million in savings, after costs, for our ratepayers over the next 30 years and will be instrumental in helping our region transition to clean energy economy.

If the weather is favourable, all of the almost 60,000 solar panels should be up

by Christmas. The solar farm is expected to be operational by mid-2017.

OUR RUBBISH REVOLUTION It’s a waste collection system that has never been seen in Australia – and it’s coming to our region.

The Sunshine Coast has again taken a nation leading position by unveiling Australia’s first, high-tech, automated waste collection system for a CBD, to be installed in the new Maroochydore City Centre.

Rather than using wheelie bins, waste will be transported from commercial buildings and apartments at up to 70kmh through a 6.5km system of underground vacuum pipes located beneath Australia’s newest city centre.

Mayor Mark Jamieson said the waste system, which will be installed in stages over the coming decade, would help to make the 53-hectare Maroochydore City Centre one of the cleanest and greenest cities in the country.

When the contract for the system was signed last week, it prompted enormous media coverage across Australia, shining a

spotlight on the country’s only greenfield CBD site.

Mayor Jamieson is sure other cities and major urban projects will soon be following in our footsteps.

The rubbish revolution means that city workers and residents will never have to walk past rows of wheelie bins or be woken early by noisy garbage trucks in the Maroochydore City Centre.

Common aspects of waste collection such as odours and vermin will be avoided, and the costs of daily street cleaning will be reduced.

New urban developments in Stockholm, Seoul, Barcelona, London, Singapore and Beijing have all utilised the Swedish-designed Envac waste collection system – but no Australian city has done so – until now.

Check out the video on how the system works on council’s Facebook page – facebook.com/SunshineCoastCouncil.

BUSINESS & FINANCE

SUPER CHANGES Darryl Watt is from Ord Minnett in Buderim.

S

uperannuation changes were a cornerstone of the recently announced 2016/2017 Federal Budget. Unfortunately too many of the proposed changes were not well received. As a result the Government has recently responded to the negative feedback by announcing amendments to the proposed reforms.

In this week’s article I will highlight the new changes and the opportunities that remain in place for the remainder of this financial year.

It is important to note that the changes to superannuation laws are just proposals at this stage. They will need to be passed

into legislation before they can be acted upon.

The non-concessional contribution (NCC) limit is proposed to reduce to $100,000 per annum from July 1, 2017 provided the member’s balance is below $1.6 million as at June 30 of the preceding financial year.

While this is a reduction from the current annual limit of $180,000 it is much better than the original Budget proposal.

Persons aged under 65 will be able to continue using the three year bring forward rule.

“This is a small window of opportunity�

The pre-budget rules have been retained for the current financial year allowing not only a NCC of $180,000 but also providing some individuals who have not exceeded their NCC caps in the past

Also from this date you may able to make a CC above the annual limit where you have not fully utilised the CC limit in previous financial years.

Not all of the most recent proposals are an improvement. The Budget proposal to remove the ‘Work Test’ for individuals aged 65 to 74 has unfortunately been abolished.

This means the work test of 40 hours of gainful employment within a 30 day period must be satisfied for those aged 65 to 74 before a contribution to super can be made.

Superannuation is not only complex but also constantly changing – it is imperative that you obtain high quality advice to ensure that you use the rules to your advantage.

two years to make a NCC of up to $540,000 before June 30, 2017.

This is a small window of opportunity that may allow someone to potentially contribute $540,000 to super this financial year in addition to the concessional contribution limit of $35,000.

This increases to the considerable amount of $1.15 million combined for a couple. It is important that you review the benefit that additional contributions may provide well and truly before June 30, 2017.

The proposal to reduce the concessional contribution (CC) limit to $25,000 per annum has been retained but the commencement date delayed until July 1, 2018.

ALL THAT GLITTERS Diamonds – they really are a girl’s best friend.

oday the diamond is a symbol of commitment and finding the perfect engagement ring – and wedding band – isn’t as challenging as some may think. Be sure to arm yourself with some knowledge before heading to the jeweller.

Shop around – Take your time to research and compare options before settling on a purchase.

T

Cut – The better the cut, the more sparkle. Shapes include pear, heart, princess, round and emerald.

Lighting – Before agreeing to purchase a diamond ring, be sure to examine it under good light, including sunlight if possible.

Clarity – Clarity refers to flaws and blemishes, which are known as inclusions.

A flawless diamond will be much more brilliant than a flawed one. It will also be more expensive.

Colour – Diamonds range in colour from white to yellow, with white being the most expensive. The more pure, the more value. A colourless stone is rated from a D (colourless) to a Z (a light yellow).

Carat – Diamonds are weighed in carat.

This is considered to be one of the most important elements of selecting a diamond.

However, it does also come down to a combination of clarity and colour. Just because a stone is large, does not mean it’s flawless.

ON TREND Jewellery specialists NY2K say rose gold rings and coloured precious stones are trending. However, engagement and wedding rings should come down to personal preference – anything goes.

DID YOU KNOW? On average Australians spend around $5000 on an engagement ring.

TIPS AND TRICKS

P

DIY

lanning a wedding takes a lot time and work. According to the 2015 Bride to Be Cost of Love survey, Australian couples now spend more than $65,000 on their big day. With so much at stake, it’s important to consider all aspects of the wedding. Here are five invaluable tips to take into account when organising your big day.

Cut costs by being hands-on. Sourcing and making your own bonbonniere for guests will save you money. In addition, make your own stationery and decorations.

PLANNING PERFECTION IT’S ABOUT YOU Prioritise when planning and choose what’s most important to you both. While you won’t be able to please every guest, or family member, remember it’s your special day. Do what works for you to create the most memorable and enjoyable experience.

Create a thorough to-do list for the months ahead and start a budget spreadsheet to keep track of your expenses.

Generally, 50 per cent of your total budget should be allocated to the reception with 10 per cent on clothing and accessories; eight per cent on flowers and 10 per cent on photos and video. Divide the remaining budget between stationery, music, celebrant and other miscellaneous items.

KNOW THE NUMBERS PIECE OF CAKE Save money by cutting and serving your wedding cake in lieu of dessert at the reception.

Before booking a venue, estimate the number of guests so you know exactly how large a space you will require. This will also allow you to calculate how much the reception will set you back.

DRESS RIGHT

For a bride, finding the perfect wedding gown is a vital part of her big day. Fashion is always changing so the key is finding a style that will work for you.

IN STYLE A form-fitting gown featuring lace, as pictured, is ideal for petite brides. The addition of a slimline belt complements a narrow waist while creating the illusion of an hourglass figure.

PRINCESS FOR A DAY Ballgown style gowns will never go out of style. This shape, which generally features a fitted bodice and full skirt with tulle, flatters most body types.

A-LINE This classic look, will suit all body shapes including hourglass, petite and pear body types. An A-line dress features a fitted bodice before flaring towards the ground.

The hottest bridal looks for 2017 have been unveiled by the industry’s big name designers.

Plunging necklines, 3D floral design and big bows are the looks straight from the catwalk.

BLUSHING BEAUTY Getting married? It’s time to up the ante on your daily beauty routine. For skin that glows, begin cleansing and moisturising daily, and apply a weekly rejuvenation mask. If you are concerned about fine lines, talk to an expert about anti-wrinkle treatments. In the hair department, talk to your hairdresser about regular treatments and find a product that will strengthen and moisturise. In regards to your makeup for the big day, make sure your artist offers a trial to determine what colours and products suit your skin and style. Browse through magazines and create a lookbook of makeup styles that you like.

Traditional, modern, boho. When it comes to choosing a theme for your wedding, the options are endless.

Here, we offer some advice on everything from floral arrangements through to venues.

OLD LOVE Vintage-themed weddings aren’t going anywhere and there is a good reason why. With a romantic and old-world charm, this theme is perfect for a wedding. Base the design on a soft palette incorporating blush, champagne, cream and dusty gold.

HANDPICKED Gone are the days of structured bouquets and centrepieces. Instead, more and more brides are opting for a natural style incorporating seasonal flowers to achieve that ‘just picked’ natural vibe. We love this unique decorative idea that removes the centrepiece from the table to create a whimsical effect.

“Mismatched, second-hand photo frames are a great way to display information such as guest table lists, menus and thank-you notes”

TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD The Shake & Stir Theatre Co presents its award-winning Australian play Tequila Mockingbird for one performance only at the council’s Lake Kawana Community Centre next month. Featuring the original stellar cast, including Barbara Lowing, Bryan Probets, Nelle Lee, Nick Skubij, Ross Balbuziente and Shannon Haegler, Tequila Mockingbird visits themes of racial prejudice, the perversion of justice and the consequences of alcohol abuse, all in a uniquely Australian context. Nominated for six Matilda Awards in 2014 and winner of Best Mainstage Production and three coveted Gold Matilda Awards, this is a bold, brave work examining a darker side of Australian culture.

TRICKY WILLS

PRINT WINS

John Gallagher from Argon Law asks are you an executor of a will that is being challenged? How does this affect your role?

Wendy Chadwick of Express Print & Mail says people still value print for its ability to be tactile, tangible and more credible than its digital counterparts.

I

f you’ve been nominated as an executor under a will, then you should be mindful that certain people can apply to the court, after the will maker dies, for orders which result in them receiving more from the estate than the will allows for.

Spouses, children and certain dependents of the deceased can bring these applications if they have been left out of the will altogether, or even if they believe that what the will provides for them, isn’t enough.

What they need to prove is that the will fails to make adequate provision for their proper maintenance and support. What is adequate or proper will depend on the facts of each case, but as an executor it is important for you to understand that there are certain time limits within which these applications must be made.

You should be very reluctant to allow any distribution of assets from the estate before

you are confident that the time for an application to be made has passed.

This point is very important because if a successful application is brought after you make distributions, you could find yourself personally responsible to pay money back to the estate.

If an application is made, then as executor your primary duty is to defend the claim and uphold the will as this represented the wishes of the deceased. However, where appropriate, you may need to negotiate a compromise that satisfies the various parties.

An executor must notify all interested parties that a family provision application has been made, participate in settlement and mediation discussions and present to the court all relevant evidence.

For more information, please contact Argon Law on 07 5443 9988 or email enquiry@argonlaw.com.au.

P

eople still value print for its ability to be tactile, tangible and more credible than its digital counterparts.

Although there has been a significant rise in popularity of online marketing, it’s become harder to get a product or service to stand out on screen among the dozens of colourful images now vying for attention.

So how else do you get your message across to your customers in a way that is effective, relevant and memorable?

Choose the advantages of print.

Unlike digital advertising, with print you have the ability to target your customers directly without interference from competitive advertising and without limit to the size or amount of content you use. There is no immediate pressure on your customers and no risk of triggering an online virus.

BREAKFAST WITH

Denise Morcombe

Printed pieces have longevity and offer a more personal way to engage with your customers. They can digest the information you provide at leisure and when ready to make an enquiry or purchase, have your contact details to hand without having to log on.

With print you can use special effects such as foil or embossing or a specialty paper stock, to give added punch to your promotional message.

And from an environmental point of view, it actually takes less energy to create a printed piece than it does to view it online and is a particularly effective low cost option for targeting local business.

Of course, the quality of your print will impact how many people read it, so aim high.

RATES TO STAY LOW Australia will follow the same path as the US, Japan and Western Europe and keep interest rates low for the long term, says a leading global economist.

A

ustralia’s interest rates are likely to stay low for years, perhaps even decades, a top global economist has warned.

US futures trader and exchange operator CME Group’s executive director and senior economist Erik Norland, who is visiting Australia this week, says any rate rise forcing Australia’s debt-laden companies and households to pay more interest could be crippling and unbalance the entire economy.

The country’s total private sector debt, including companies and households but excluding financial institutions, rose from 203 per cent of GDP to 243 per cent between 2011 and 2015, to $2.89 trillion, according to the Bank of International Settlements.

Because of that burden and associated risk, Norland expects the Reserve Bank to avoid starting a cycle of raising rates in the long term, and he doubts Australian interest rates will ever get back up to a level of three or four per cent.

“I think it’s going to put Australia on a path to becoming eventually like the United States, Japan and Western Europe, where rates will ultimately be very, very low,”

Norland says.

However, he said that situation would not be unusual as, looking back to the 1800s, the high interest rates of the 1970s to the 1990s were the exception rather than the norm.

“…he doubts Australian interest rates will ever get back up to a level of three or four per cent” “We’re essentially going back into a new normal where there are very, very low levels of interest rates around the world, so that could potentially last not just for a few years, it could potentially last even for decades,” Norland said.

He says low rates potentially make stocks and property trade at higher levels but a low rate environment would not necessarily lead to higher volatility as

investors hungry for returns kept demand for those asset classes high.

Norland says higher rates usually attracted investors to safer assets such as bonds because they had high returns and

were less risky than stocks or property, but low rates usually did the opposite.

“Now that interest rates are very low I think it takes all of the risky assets and elevates their price potential.”

HIA AWARDS

THE HOUSES THAT WIN HEARTS What do the judges look for in the Housing Industry Association’s annual awards? My Weekly Preview finds out.

T

he Housing Industry Association’s prestigious housing award’s program on the Sunshine Coast is on again, and this year promises to be the best ever.

The awards celebrate the achievements of the local residential construction industry, which continues to deliver new levels of quality, excellence and innovation in the design and construction of homes, renovations and kitchen and bathroom projects.

One of the strengths of the local awards is that it enables industry participants, including builders, developers, designers and contractors, to compete against their peers across a range of building categories from custom built homes to renovations, and everything in between.

But what makes an award winner? And what benefits does it provide to the builder?

My Weekly Preview has asked the experts to provide our readers with the inside story on the Coast’s most respected building awards.

HIA AWARDS

FRANK BARRETT, HIA AWARDS JUDGE Are there any mistakes people should avoid when entering their projects into the awards?

When entering a project for judging, make sure you can provide proof of value so the project is valued in the correct category. If the build was a contract (most are) make sure the owners are part of the process. We judge the end product, the degree of difficulty in the construction process is not considered, except in extreme circumstances.

Are there any buildings that stand out in your years of judging?

We have seen some amazing houses over the years. I am looking forward to seeing a project that is so well designed and built at a median price which is capable of winning the overall prize as House of the Year for the Sunny Coast. What I mean by that is say a $480,000 build is as a good as a $2,500,000 house that wins its category but is not necessarily House of the Year. An item that stands out to all the judges is the emerging talent among the 26 to 36 year-old builders on the Coast.

Not everyone will buy an award-winning home – but are there attributes from

these award-winning homes that everyone can think about when they build their own home?

Buyers of new homes or those seeking to renovate can be confident that the winner of the category does good work. The strong competition on the Coast ensures that the high standard is carried down the line. Most of our good builders have heavy work bookings, some will happily refer clients.

The best way to find a good builder is to ask for recommendations from HIA or a friend who had a project completed and is happy with the outcome.

HIA AWARDS

DEBBIE JOHNSON, HIA AWARDS JUDGE How long have you been a judge on these awards?

I started judging at a local level in 2008 and at a national level around 2010.

What changes have you noticed over the years in the entries?

Every year from a design perspective, we see new trends driven by market influence however, increasingly projects have embraced passive design principles, water and energy efficiency.

Clients and practitioners are very well educated in the benefits that this brings from a liveability perspective through to cost savings for the home occupier.

As a judge, what are you looking for when considering the difference between a good entry and a winning entry?

Judges comment on the skill and passion that our builders exhibit through their work.

The judges are afforded an intimate appreciation of each project by the builder, which is indeed a privilege.

While everybody has their own unique preferences when it comes to building and design, the judging of our entries is carried out in quite a clinical fashion to achieve the fairest and most transparent selection of a

winning project.

Typically each entry is scored individually by three judges against specific weighted criteria that is relevant to the category of entry i.e. Custom Built Home, Spec Home, etc.

The key aspect of the project that affords the entry the most marks is the workmanship, construction detailing, degree of difficulty and choice of materials.

Bearing in mind these are builders’ awards, the design of the building can contribute to the appeal of a project, however the builder is not always in control or even involved in the design.

Rather, the builder is charged with delivering on the design.

However, where the builder has clearly contributed to this aspect, it allows bonus points.

Other areas that contribute to a final score are the ‘green’ credentials, value for money/cost effectiveness, market demand and innovation.

Are there any mistakes people should avoid when entering their projects into the awards?

The awards program is a celebration of everything that is good in our industry and

an opportunity to get together with our peers in appreciation of the work carried out.

Winning an award is a bonus – the icing on the cake – but being a part of the awards speaks volumes to your team, the client, subcontractors and suppliers who have contributed to the project.

For the builder it’s a shout out saying, I think we’ve done a great job here, I want to put it up for an award.

Are there any buildings that stand out in your years of judging?

Yes several, but for different reasons. A few years back there was a stunning home built in Tasmania. The build cost was $700,000 and it deservedly took out the National Home of the Year.

So perhaps contrary to opinion, it’s definitely not a matter of throwing money at a project to make it a winner. It’s true of course that where money is no object, it is often an opportunity to carry out something that is truly unique.

Not all builders get this sort of opportunity in their career, but it doesn’t make them any less professional or successful.

Not everyone will buy an award-winning home – but are there attributes from

these award-winning homes that everyone can think about when they build their own home?

Quality and position are the key. Building a home should be an exciting and rewarding experience and as it is often the largest investment we’ll make, look at the care and detail in the work that your builder displays.

Ensure the home is built using appropriate materials for the environment in which it will stand, and take into account the cost effectiveness of maintaining and living in your home.

Ausmar, Custom Built Home

“Quality and position are the key. Building a home should be an exciting and rewarding experience…”

As judges we only meet happy clients who are thrilled with their builder and the commitment that is made to their project, it is very rewarding to see the builder’s get this recognition from their clients.

HIA AWARDS

HAMISH PRESSLAND, GENERAL MANAGER DEVELOPMENT – PELICAN WATERS HIA SUNSHINE COAST HOUSING AWARDS – CATEGORIES

What sort of benefits have you seen for winners and finalists in the HIA awards?

HIA awards give local builders recognition in an ever increasing world of builder competition. With the ramp up in residential housing activity across the Coast, it doesn’t hurt to stand out amongst the crowd. If the nominated and winning builders are in our Pelican Waters display village or build in our estate, it provides additional promotional benefits for us as developers also.

Do you think some people underestimate the variety of awards – and the opportunities offered by each category?

There are a wide range of categories and that’s important as there are many aspects of work that go to creating the perfect built form outcome. If a builder has won an HIA award(s) it obviously provides potential customers with a good reference point in their decision making and would provide further comfort that they have chosen the

right builder. The promotional advantages of being an award-winner cannot be underestimated.

What advice would you give to clients thinking about entering the awards?

To go for it. We developed six waterfront villas known as Qualia, in Pelican Waters and contracted Ryan Designer Homes for the build. They suggested entering the awards and it ended up winning the HIA National Award for the Townhouse/Villa category. This award demonstrated not only Ryan’s quality workmanship and attention to detail, but also that Pelican Waters is all about quality outcomes and this is the type of product that sets us apart from other developments. It sets the high standard for this product in Pelican Waters.

THE EVOLUTION OF KAWANA WATERS WORDS: Dorothy Whittington

T

he Kawana address can be confusing even for old locals. Put simply, Kawana Waters is the generic term for the large land tract between the Mooloolah River and Lake Currimundi that was first mooted for development in 1959.

Specifically, it is a series of suburbs that have grown up step-by-step, as ti-tree scrub has been converted into canal and beachfront estates in the oldest and biggest single land development on the Sunshine Coast.

Minyama, Buddina, Parrearra, Warana, Bokarina, Birtinya, Kawana Island and Wurtulla all share the same Kawana 4575 postcode.

Celebrating its 55th birthday in 2015, Kawana Waters is a ribbon development between Caloundra and Mooloolaba, and the beach west to the Mooloolah River National Park and Meridan Plains.

The opening of the Mooloolah River bridge and the 11km Nicklin Way in 1965, brought the realisation that here was land ripe for housing.

The first suburb to be built was

46 My Weekly Preview | September 30, 2016

46.indd 1

Birtinya, near the Kawana Way west of Bokarina.

As well as providing thousands of houses beside the beach, Kawana also has substantial commercial and industrial areas, making it a virtual microcosm, complete with its own set of emergency services, schools, parks, offices and retailers and a major hospital on the way.

Kawana Shoppingworld, in 1979, was the first major shopping precinct to open on the Sunshine Coast.

SUMMING UP:

Buddina, at the northern end, in 1967. A canal estate was built into the Mooloolah River and accessed from the road to Pt Cartwright, which itself instantly became a prestige housing precinct.

Development then continued south

with the development of Warana in 1978, Wurtulla in 1980 and Bokarina in 1985.

Minyama, at the northern end of the Nicklin Way and Parrearra are both based on canals and islands and can therefore claim some exclusivity. The newest extension is

A collection of suburbs that together make up the strip lining the Nicklin Way, Kawana Waters is urban living beside the sea. It has all the services, schools, major retail outlets and restaurants of the city and a wide selection of residential opportunities from first home buyer’s brick and tile to prestige canalfront or beachfront mansions, and everything in between. myweeklypreview.com.au

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Finally, I was given permission from my eight year old to help him catch a wave last weekend. Yes, a very stubborn young boy who finally relented. When you only weight 25kg dripping wet the length of ride is quite astounding. As he rode off in to the distance I can understand why they call it Happy Valley as the smile on his face said it all.

Perfect conditions for learners this weekend with good conditions unfolding. The whales also have been putting on a show up and down the coast so it will be perfect conditions to sit on a headland or paddle out to see them.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Whiting up to 500 grams are taking yabbies and worms from the southern end of Goat Island in the Maroochy River. Flathead are taking plastics, baby blue pilchards and hard body lures along Cotton Tree. You can get jew and trevally at the Cod Hole on the top of the tide. A few mud crabs are showing up at Bli Bli. SURF: Tailor are still plentiful on the night tides at Pincushion with some unstoppables providing a bit of sport. There are bream off the rocks in the front of the Sea Breeze Caravan Park with white bait and fowl gut the best bait.

OFFSHORE: Water temp is around 21 degrees.

Mixed reef fish are being taken at The Gneerings using squid and mullet fillet. Yellowtail kingies at The Blinker are taking jigged lures and live baits. The Barwon banks is best for for snappery squire, pearl perch and cobia. WA pillies are the best baits.

FRESHWATER: It’s probably the best time of the year to fish impoundments with the water crystal clear with fish rising to baits near the surface.

Borumba Dam near Imbil has returned saratoga and bass this week on fly and trolled lures. Bjelke Peterson is another dam firing for bass and golden perch using a variety of baits and lures. There are good reports from Somerset this week for golden perch, bass and jew from the usual haunts.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 20

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21

It’s all about relationships this week rams … romantic, platonic and business. Avoid the temptation to rush. If you push your point of view then you’ll meet with resistance from all directions. Instead, use your energy in positive ways.

Don’t be too black and white about issues! There are many shades of grey, as you navigate your way through a changing landscape. With Venus in your relationship zone, the quickest way to heaven is to smoke the peace pipe with your partner.

Geminis are the social gadabouts of the zodiac but this week’s stars encourage you to slow down, listen and learn. Enjoy the company of family and friends but steer clear of tactless talk, garrulous gossip and ridiculous rumours.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23

Crabs can be cautious, but a romantic relationship will only improve if you come out of your shell and get to work! If you are single, don’t settle for second best. Be patient and wait for a true connection. Avoid being confrontational on the weekend.

The week starts well when you have the motivation to clear up a problem with a loved one. But avoid being a bossy lion (or a demanding diva) on Friday and Saturday, when there’s a fine line between being passionately proactive and just plain pushy!

Tuesday and Wednesday are when your organisational skills and multi-tasking talents really excel.

However, if you confuse important issues with trivial ones (and make mountains out of molehills) then it will be a long and exhausting week.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21

With the Sun, Jupiter and then Mercury all moving through your sign, the buzz words are creativity, confidence and communication. Don’t worry about other people! It’s time to focus on your individual style, plans, talents and future.

The mid-week Venus/Pluto connection brings deep connections and passion. So make sure you get close with someone special. But then the celestial energy shifts when Pluto (your power planet) squares the Sun on Friday and Saturday.

The symbol for Sagittarius is the archer – with his (or her) arrow aimed towards the future. But are you so busy rushing around that you’re neglecting the here and now? Slow down and have confidence that your decisions will turn out fine in the end.

Seize the opportunity to wield your power in positive ways. You’re not bossy – you’re bold. And you’re not domineering – you’re dynamic! But don’t take criticism too seriously or narrow your focus. Saturn is asking you to be supremely practical.

Aquarians love to lunge at life with abandon but this week will work best if you employ a more strategic approach. If you think things through (and do the research) then projects will proceed in a slow and steady fashion that leads to future success.

The future depends on the goals you set now. Don’t let others talk down your dreams or undermine your confidence. With Saturn sauntering through your career zone, the road ahead is rocky and there’ll be detours.

So you need to rise to the challenge.

THE LAST WORD

HOW WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED? A sad New York Times obituary gets Richard O’Leary thinking.

Do you ever think about what you would like to be written in your obituary?

It’s just me again isn’t it?

I was reminded of my occasional flights of fantasy about how I will be remembered – if at all – after reading a New York Times obituary about an American businessman – the headline read: Edward Davis, ‘World’s Grumpiest Boss’, Dies at 85.

The article went on to catalogue the memorable missives which had earnt him that unfortunate moniker.

“Do not speak to me when you see me. If I want to speak to you, I will do so. I want to save my throat. I don’t want to ruin it by saying hello to you all.”

“DO YOUR JOBS AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!”

Will they talk about you as a good dad? Devoted brother? Reliable friend?

Good workmate? Or will the opposite be true?

CAPTION:

“There will be no more birthday celebrations, birthday cakes, levity or celebrations or any kind within the office. If you have to celebrate, do it out of office hours on your own time.”

Yeah, you’d hate to think people actually enjoyed their jobs.

But I don’t want to judge Mr Davis, I just find it kind of sad.

He was a successful businessman, a man who came from humble beginnings to create an oil empire, albeit being helped along the way by

Stairway to heaven.

marrying a wealthy 69-year-old woman when he was 28.

But after 85 years on this planet, his greatest claim to fame was being the world’s grumpiest boss.

Which brings me back to where I started, how do you think you will be remembered? I’m not talking about an obituary in the New York Times, but by those people who know you best.

Will they talk about you as a good dad? Devoted brother? Reliable friend? Good workmate? Or will the opposite be true?

Maybe it doesn’t matter what other people think… but it does matter what you think about yourself.

If you were writing your obituary what do you think you would say? What would be your major achievements? Would there be more regrets than things to rejoice? What would the headline say?

Maybe we should all be thinking about that three-word summary of our lives as we go about the business of being the best person we can be.

Because the good news is we’re not dead yet – there’s still time to change the headline.
