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 ts 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 degradable plastic.

hese words, spoken by war veteran Jim Armstrong, bring tears to my eyes: “Anzac Day means everything”. My tears are for the men and women who gave their lives, their years, to fight for our freedom. They are tears for our children, whose future now lies in the shaky and trigger-happy hands of political leaders and dictators.

As I write this, the world is nervously teetering on the brink, awaiting the decisions of those from within North Korea, the US, China and Russia.

Anzac Day has always held importance and this year I hope it sends a global message, stronger than ever.

As a journalist, I have had the honour of hearing first-hand the stories of brave men who fought in war – of their camaraderie, their fear and their loyalty to our country.

These are the stories we all need to share.

Let’s all take the time to honour the fallen and the brave and recognise the devastating consequences of war.

Please take the time to read Mr Armstrong’s story – turn to page 20.

Also this edition Leigh Robshaw takes a look into the frightening reality that is cyberbullying, plus we have property, beauty, news and entertainment.

Until next week, take care.

QUICK CHAT

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNST Buderim’s Robyn Ernst has taught theatre to more than 4000 young people over the past 20 years and would love the Coast to have a performing arts centre.

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

FIRST JOB? Delivering leaflets around Newmarket. It was very hilly so great for the legs but I became quite scared of big dogs.

Having a performing arts centre that is worthy of our population and yet accessible and affordable. Thirty years ago places like Rockhampton, Cairns and Mackay had exceptional regional performing arts centres built for their communities and it is a disgrace that the Sunshine Coast does not have a performing arts centre where our eisteddfod children can perform, where schools can stage shows, and in which community performing arts groups can produce productions while still charging ticket prices that people can afford.

Currently Matthew Flinders Anglican College is the only centre on the Coast that has an orchestra pit and racked seating.

WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON? I am currently organising the BYTE (Buderim Youth Theatre of Excellence) program for 2017 – A Midsummer Night’s Dream (April 28 to 30), Horizons and Antigone.

YOUR FAMILY INCLUDES. . .

My husband of 26 years and our 21-year-old daughter. My Mum, her husband and sister also live on the Sunshine Coast.

FIRST CAR? Ford Escort. Its petrol gauge never worked so I always ran out of petrol to the extent that my boyfriend (now my husband) bought a petrol tin. In the days before mobile phones, I was very lucky I didn’t run out on lonely strips of road.

WHAT ACHIEVEMENT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?

IMAGE: TRACY NAUGHTON

FAVOURITE BOOK? Now that has changed over the years. Certainly Pride and Prejudice, Gone With The Wind and Wuthering Heights but more recently The Book Thief and A Thousand Splendid Suns. I also love devouring Scandinavian noir novels.

WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW? Tim Winton’s The Boy Behind the Curtain. I often get inspired to read books I hear about on the ABC Conversations program.

FAVOURITE SONG? Songs form such a part of our emotional memory and I can instantly be taken back to a place or a moment in time when I hear something. I love many songs and different genres of music depending on where I am and the mood I am in. I always love The Way You Look Tonight which is such a classic.

Boys of Summer reminds me of more youthful times, and I adore the soundtracks from The Mission and Pan’s Labyrinth.

I think West Side Story is possibly the best musical score ever written.

BEST ADVICE YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN? If its worth doing, its worth doing well.

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

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE ON THE SUNSHINE COAST? I do love the colour and clarity of the water at Noosa and looking north up towards Double Island Point. Point Cartwright is also very beautiful and always a bit more wild and windswept.

WHERE DO YOU TAKE VISITORS? A drive to the Range is always on the cards as our hinterland is beautiful. Overseas visitors like Mooloolaba as it is patrolled and sometimes they feel safer being around people.

Apart from my daughter, I am proud of our youth theatre company and the thousands of wonderful children who have attended since 2001. Knowing that BYTE has made an impact on their lives either by building their confidence, providing an artistic outlet or assisting in preparing them for a career in the performing arts makes me so thrilled.

IF YOU COULD TELL YOUR 18-YEAR-OLD SELF ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I don’t think anything I would have told my 18-year-old self would have made any difference. I have always tried to be a positive person even in the shade of enormous darkness. There certainly have been those times in my life when all I could do was to function, to keep going one step at a time. Never looking at the enormity of a situation but rather taking things in little steps is something I guess that I have always done.

Even when directing massive shows like Les Mis, if you think about the enormous task at hand, you could go mad.

TEA OR COFFEE? Tea with milk.

BEST DAY IN YOUR LIFE?

Without a doubt, the day our daughter was born but there have been many wonderful days since when you get to share your life with the people you love. Certainly being able to travel and share new experiences with our small family has provided us with many happy days and great memories.

It depends if Hugh Jackman is singing the anthem. Seriously, after the 2015 NRL all-Queensland Grand Final, I don’t even watch because it was a perfect game between the Cowboys and Broncos, with Thurston at his best and for me, it will never get better than that.

FEATURE STORY

CRACKING DOWN ON CYBERBULLYING One in five children between the ages of five and 17 have experienced cyberbullying, with some being driven to suicide. My Weekly Preview speaks with the woman tasked with policing this insidious phenomenon to find out how we can protect ourselves and our children. Words: Leigh Robshaw.

M

iranda* is a sweet-faced 19-year-old from the Sunshine Coast who lived through relentless cyberbullying from the ages of 14 to 17, during her final years of high school. She is now trying to move on, though putting it behind her is difficult.

“They wrote horrible things and I’ve even had my pictures taken without my knowledge and posted,” Miranda says. “I was told I was an awful singer – I love singing and performing. I was told I was ugly. They said things about my health and mental health and said that I’m not worth anything.

“It made me really upset and I felt awful about myself. It caused a lot of anxiety and I was always afraid of what was going to pop up next. Suicide did cross my mind, but I would never have done anything – aside from my family, I don’t think anyone would have cared anyway.”

Miranda was bullied across three social media platforms and reported it, both to the platforms and to her school, but to no avail.

“When I reported it to the school they didn’t claim responsibility, because it happened outside of school hours, so nothing could be done. It felt unfair because I was told to get rid of my social media – but I saw that as a punishment. Why should I have to when I didn’t do anything wrong?”

Miranda says she’s in a much better place now she has left school, but adds: “I think it has made me hyper-paranoid because I’m always worrying what people

12 My Weekly Preview | April 21, 2017

are saying or doing behind my back.”

Miranda survived her years of torment but tragically, others haven’t.

In July 2011, 14-year-old Caloundra teen Danii Sanders took her own life after being subjected to cyberbullying (her parents say she had mental health issues but that cyberbullying did not help). In 2012, TV personality Charlotte Dawson spoke of the sense of helplessness she felt as the target of ferocious online death threats, finally ending

this can be a crime under either Queensland or national law.

The Office of the Children’s eSafety Commissioner was launched in October 2015 to help young people have safe, positive experiences online. Its research shows one in five children between the ages of five and 17 have experienced cyberbullying in the past 12 months and one-third of the respondents who complain to the office have received direct threats of harm.

“When people are anonymous and behind the keyboard they seem to take on a certain level of psycopathy that’s not there in normal life” Dr Rachael Sharman, University of the Sunshine Coast

her own life in February 2014, aged 47. Then there’s the shocking story of 18-year-old American Brandy Vela, who in December last year, shot herself in front of her family after enduring years of cyberbullying.

The reason cyberbullying is so destructive is that it is all-pervasive, with cyberbullies able to reach their victims electronically any time of the day or night. Cyberbullies repeatedly seek to embarrass, threaten, harass, stalk or intimidate their victims, and

Children’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, who heads up a team of 50, says cyberbullying is often an extension of schoolyard bullying – and it’s getting worse.

“We’ve had about 400 cases in 20 months and the thing that’s important to note, it’s very hard to get kids to report anything – you don’t want to be a dobber,” she tells My Weekly Preview. “A lot of kids don’t report to the social media sites or their teachers let alone a government agency. The tone is

escalating and for kids of that age, saying ‘I’m going to kill you’ or ‘I’m going to kill your family’ can be traumatic.”

The agency endeavours to resolve cyberbullying complaints for Australian children under the age of 18. However, there is now legislation before Parliament to extend the remit of the office to cover all Australians.

Cyberbullying has become such a ubiquitous part of modern society it has become the subject of a number of TV shows, including two Netflix series, the popular 13 Reasons Why and Audrie & Daisy. Back home, crime writer Tara Moss recently dissected the issue in her six-part ABC series Cyberhate (available to watch on iView).

In the show, Moss undergoes an MRI scan on her brain while she reads violent messages projected onto a screen, including a rape threat she received on Twitter. Dr Sylvia Gustin monitors her vital signs. Moss’ heart rate increases from 70 to 100 beats per minute and the emotional areas of the brain light up in the same way they would had she been physically attacked. Gustin says as far as Moss’ brain was concerned, she was being assaulted and if this response is sustained over time, it can change the structure, function and biochemistry of the brain, resulting in depression and anxiety.

The BBC labelled 2015 the ‘angriest year on the internet’ and online hostility shows no sign of abating. While cyberbullies and trolls continue to get their kicks – derived from the reaction they elicit from their victims – they will continue to attack.

Conservative commentator Andrew Bolt is often criticised for his right-wing views and has been the subject of horrific cyberbullying.

He makes an interesting point in Cyberhate: “The technology has a legitimising effect. The more clicks you get for being brutal, the more you’re affirmed.”

University of the Sunshine Coast psychologist Dr Rachael Sharman says trolls and cyberbullies are often people with an inferiority complex and low social skills.

“Their life is probably not going so well so they enjoy tearing some else down,” she says. “You know those sorts of people who like to make themselves feel better by making other people feel worse? That presumably is what they’re getting out of it.

For some people, it is the reaction as well – they’re hoping to get a histrionic or over-the-top reaction from their target.”

Sharman explains the ‘online disinhibition effect’ which insulates the abuser from immediate repercussions.

“When people are anonymous behind the keyboard they seem to take on a certain level of psychopathy that’s not there in normal life.

FEATURE STORY

In the ABC show Cyberhate, Tara Moss undergoes an MRI scan on her brain while she reads violent messages… and said you’re a fat bitch, it would result in an emotional reaction that I would have to deal with. I would see the consequences unfold. Online, you’re removed and you don’t see the consequences. You can say as much nasty stuff as you like and nothing comes back to you.”

Thankfully, cyberbullies and the platforms that give them a voice are now being taken to task by the Office of the Children’s eSafety Commission. After Inman Grant and her team assess a complaint, they can ask a social media platform to remove cyberbullying material within 48 hours or face a fine of $18,000 a day until the material is removed. But it doesn’t stop there.

“We also have the power to issue end-user notices,” Grant says. “It says we understand you sent X a post or text, we find that it violates the Act and constitutes serious cyberbullying and we ask them to take it down.”

If the end-user fails to comply, they will also be issued with an infringement notice.

Originally from the US, Grant spent 17 years working for Microsoft and a number of years with Twitter, and says social media sites do care about abusive content.

“Nothing is ever going to be foolproof

– there is no such thing as the ultimate state of safety. If there were, the technology would be unusable. I still think the platforms need to be building safety into their products before launching them, but having been inside some of these organisations, nobody wants negative content on their site, nobody wants paedophiles, cybercriminals, cyberbullies. These platforms are for free expression so monitoring them either isn’t desirable or isn’t feasible. A lot of companies are starting to use artificial intelligence or other technology to identify bullying content or grooming content.

“Twitter is finally going all in and they’ve put lots of engineering resources and dollars into really cracking down. Facebook recently announced they’ll be using photo matching technologies to help victims of revenge porn.”

It’s not so much Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Inman Grant is concerned about now, but other more insidious platforms and private chat apps.

“The major global networks do have a sense of corporate responsibility. What we worry about are the more than 3000 websites that exist specifically to host revenge porn and extort money out of victims to have their image removed.

“Another challenge is dark social, or hidden social. Kids are using Messenger and Whatsapp – they call it dark social because it’s out of the light, out of prying eyes. A lot of these messaging services are encrypted and out of the purview of operators to be able to halt bullying content or sexual exploitation.”

Despite the disturbing nature of Inman Grant’s job, she believes the benefits of technology far outweigh the risks.

“I think it’s important to note that bullying has existed from time immemorial, it has existed on the playground for a long time. I don’t think we’ll fully be able to eradicate it online, but I do feel social media companies are stepping up to address this. They are using more creative technologies to surface this abusive content across the industry and get them taken down quickly and expeditiously.” *Name changed to protect privacy.

HOW CAN PARENTS PROTECT CHILDREN FROM CYBERBULLYING?

Children’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant (pictured) says parents need to be speaking with their kids “early and often” about how they’re using technology, letting them know they can come to them if they

experience an issue that concerns them.

“They need to know their parents are not going to take their technology away as a result. If you take away their technology, you’re essentially taking away their social lifeline. We should all be engaged and involved in our kids’ online lives – talk to them about what they’re doing.

“What we really need to do is build resilience in our kids and teach them good cyberjudgment. We’ve been talking about stranger danger for years; it’s much harder for a young person to decipher stranger danger in an online site.

“You’ve probably seen the case in Queensland with the law professor who managed to convice people he was Justin Bieber and got them to take off their clothes and perform sex acts. He extorted them.

“More needs to be done in the schools because teenagers are programmed to be curious and take risks. You do need to talk to your kids about the risks. I do feel young people are getting a lot of peer pressure to share rudie nudies or racy shots. Without that frontal lobe development, I don’t think young people really understand what it means for them emotionally, occupationally, mentally and even socially and the devastating impact it can have if the photo goes viral and gets in the wrong hands. It’s out there forever.”

USC NAMED IN GLOBAL LIST OF TOP UNIVERSITIES FOR GEN Y The University of the Sunshine Coast has been ranked for the first time on a prestigious global list of the top 200 young universities, including a place in the top 50 Gen Y institutions. The 21-year-old university was included in the Times Higher Education Young University Rankings, in the 101–150 category out of the top 200 universities under 50 years old. Number one went to École Polytechnique FÊdÊrale de Lausanne in Switzerland. USC also appeared in the new top 50 Generation Y list for universities established between 1986 and 1999. Number one was Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

THE ‘TYPICAL’ AUSSIE The first data released from the 2016 Census has revealed what the ‘typical’ Aussie looks like and highlights how much time men and women typically spend on housework. The Australian Bureau of Statistics released a taster of the Census 2016 data and says the typical Australian is a 38-year-old woman, who has English ancestry and whose parents were both born in Australia. She is married, with two children, has completed Year 12 and lives in a three-bedroom house with two cars. She spends between five and 14 hours a week on domestic work. In contrast, the typical Aussie male is 37 years old and spends less than five hours on domestic work.

TEACHER WINS GOLD AT AUSTRALIAN SURF LIFE SAVING TITLES Sunshine Coast Grammar School senior IT technician Stephen Bradney (pictured) has brought home gold from the 2017 Australian Surf Lifesaving Titles. Claiming victory as Champion Life Saver Aged 40 Years and Above, Bradney was one of nine competitors to qualify from the State Surf Rescue Championships. The event is a day-long points based competition to test lifesaving skills and includes; an exam paper, live patient assessment, CPR, beach sprint, surf swim, board race and rescue tube. The Alexandra Headlands Surf Club member says conditions were tough, “but it’s what we train for and what we often need to deal with on patrol.�

More than 150 jobs are expected to be created with civil works commencing in the first stage of the new Maroochydore city centre. New roads, footpaths, cycleways, lighting, parks and landscaping will take shape in the civil construction works that will cost $25 million and take around 12 months to complete. The works will include the installation of underground services and smart city infrastructure that will position the CBD among the most technologically advanced in Australia. Eight new streets are included in stage one of the CBD.

COMMUNITY COLLABORATION HELPS FAMILIES School expenses such as clothing, shoes and stationery supplies can be challenging for many families. The Buderim Foundation is proud to be a part of the 2017 Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal Back to School Program that offers $50 Target vouchers to families who require some assistance. This year, with significant financial support from the Buderim Chappy Anthony with Buderim Lions and Rotary Clubs, the Buderim Foundations’ Lisa Edwards Foundation has been able to distribute 250 Target vouchers valued at $50 each – a total of $12,500. Buderim Foundation Chair Heinz Seeberg says in the past 13 years, the collaboration has seen $132,500 worth of vouchers distributed to Coast families.

PROFILE

“ANZAC DAY MEANS EVERYTHING” Jim Armstrong has lived a long and happy life, but the memory of war and loved ones lost will never leave him. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

IMAGE: GREG GARDNER

W

orld War II pilot Jim Armstrong will be 93 in July and says his memory is beginning to fail him, but he clearly remembers the day the war ended.

“I was flying back from New Guinea the day peace was declared in September 1945,” he says. “I was coming home to Brisbane and I could tell that something was different by the crowds in Queen Street. I thought, how wonderful, this is peace and people are rejoicing together.”

As a pilot charged with flying General Douglas MacArthur’s colonels and brigadiers from Brisbane to New Guinea and the Philippines using Qantas Empire Airways planes, Jim spent three and a half years serving his country. While he’s proud of his contribution, he’s hesitant to big-note himself.

“All those mates that got killed or died in POW camps – I didn’t do half the things they did,” he says.

“Anzac Day means everything,” he says, his eyes filling up. “Because of all the mates that are no longer here, we get to tell stories at the Caloundra RSL after the dawn service at Kings Beach. My 24-year-old granddaughter, Sophie, always helps me lay a wreath.

“I sometimes wake up at night and I’m having a dream [about the war], but I somehow know it’s only a dream and I don’t worry about it. In the morning I think, been there, done that.”

He has happy memories of that time, too.

He remembers eagerly learning morse code at night school at the age of 16, hoping to follow his father and brother Barnard, two years his senior, into the military.

“My dad was a World War I army lieutenant and my brother was a navigator and bomb aimer.”

“I enlisted on my 18th birthday. Everybody wanted to fly an airplane, they were fast and they were up there in the clear blue sky. It looked like a safe operation but it was just the opposite, of course.”

Jim was one year into his architecture

Mooloolah veteran Jim Armstrong reflects at Caloundra War Memorial; Right: wearing his RAAF uniform at the age of 18 degree at the University of Queensland when he got the call to go. General MacArthur had established his headquarters at the AMP building in Brisbane near the office of Qantas Empire Airways (QEA), which had an antiquated fleet of aircraft.

MacArthur struck a deal with QEA to give them a small fleet of Lockheed Lodestars and Douglas C53s in exchange for QEA flying his colonels and brigadiers to New Guinea and eventually through to the Philippines, using Australian pilots. American pilots, used to navigating by ‘radio beam’, were constantly getting lost or were unable to cope with the mountainous terrain of New Guinea.

“American pilots didn’t fly by the seat of their pants the way Australians did,” says Jim. “Every flight was long range, with various Army or Navy personnel on board. We also carried the codes for the next three days of operations. Everything was coded, there were no microphones; we had a morse key next to the seat and had to know morse code. Navigation was visual, with the aid of wartime maps.

“I can remember the first time flying into Port Moresby and a voice came up in the

earphones: ‘air raid in progress, air raid in progress’. What could you do? You were over the water, you can’t turn back. I had my flying boots off and I thought, well, this might be it. I immediately put my flying boots on so that I would die with my boots on.”

Jim escaped the Japanese air raid unscathed. His brother wasn’t so fortunate.

Preparing to retire after 30 bombing missions, Barnard was flying his 28th mission in an Avro Lancaster bomber carrying a 10-tonne bomb full of high explosives, when it was hit by enemy fire and exploded over Dortmund.

He was only 22.

Jim still has his brother’s letters, tied up with string, their contents too painful to read.

Ten years ago, he went to the Netherlands in search of Barnard’s grave, taking his wife Helen along, who passed away five years ago.

“In the cemetery were 7000 graves,” he says. “They were all mixed up, American, Polish, Australian, British, French. We’d been looking for an hour and a half in the afternoon, darkness was falling and we couldn’t find it. So we asked one of the workmen if he could help and much to my surprise he said, ‘come with me’. He went

straight to the grave. I asked, ‘How can you find my brother’s grave among the thousands that are here?’ He said in broken English, ‘I was chipping around this grave the day that Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. I looked down and the grave said ‘Armstrong’ and I haven’t forgotten’.

After the war in the Pacific finished in 1945, Jim went back to studying architecture, graduating in 1951. He worked as a TAA pilot from 1951 to 1983, taking on architectural jobs in his spare time and eventually designing the Mooloolah home where he now lives.

Today, he’s content with where life has taken him. His daughters Lisa and Penny live nearby, his son John is in Sydney and Jim is living life to the fullest. He recently returned from a three-month cruise around the coastline of South America with a lady friend and they’re now planning their next trip.

As for his war uniform – he threw it out.

“I was so glad to see the war end, I wanted to get rid of my uniform,” he says.

What he has kept are a photo of himself having just joined the RAAF at 18, his brother’s letters and five shining medals that he’ll wear proudly on Anzac Day.

MY OPINION

HALLMARKS OF MARRIAGE

THE JOY OF BEING A TOURIST AT HOME

Sami Muirhead says she’d rather receive chocolate or bling than copper or wool for her seven-year wedding anniversary.

Rebecca Grisman is keeping her passion for the Sunshine Coast alive by revisiting some of her favourite haunts every weekend.

D

o you believe in the seven-year itch when it comes to relationships? I am hoping the itch stays away as this week my husband and I celebrate seven years of marriage. Without a doubt it has been nothing short of wonderful for my husband, who managed to marry a woman who cannot cook very well, frequently turns most of his white shirts pale pink in the wash, constantly smashes the car, and kills endless plants in the garden.

I spend way too much on clothing, champagne and chocolates. I am a pretty rubbish wife when it comes down to it, but we have a really happy home filled with laughter, love and fantastic stuff I bought with our joint credit card. And we still like to hang out with each other.

The TV show Seven Year Itch started on our small screens and most of the talk around the controversial show has not been positive. I find the premise of the show pretty insulting to the concept of marriage. You basically swap partners for a bit of a fool around for a few weeks. That is hardly conducive to a stable and nurturing relationship. If that is what you are yearning for, then man up and leave your partner and sign up to swipe right on Tinder because the days of the keys in the fruit bowl at night and playing happy

families in the daytime are long gone.

Initial findings from last year’s Census show our new ‘typical’ Aussie is a 38-year-old woman who is married with two kids and was born in Australia. She lives in a house with three bedrooms and two cars and she does five to 14 hours of housework a week compared to the typical Aussie male, who does less than five hours of housework.

But it also shows the divorce rates in Australia are declining and we are staying married for longer periods.

And the seven-year itch has actually become an 8.5-year itch, which measures the average time between marriage and divorce for those who do split up.

So, happy anniversary to my hubby. The traditional gift to celebrate seven years is copper or wool. I never understand those crazy lists – they were surely invented by a man. If a woman had decreed the list it would include bling and chocolates and puppy dogs and other stuff we actually like.

My hubby swears he has a one and two cent coin collection for me as a very special coppery gift. But guess what the gifts for eight years of marriage are according to tradition? Salt and pottery. The worst! I say that explains the new 8.5-year itch. It’s not that people want to scratch, it is just that salt has added insult to their unhappiness.

“…this week my husband and I celebrate seven years of marriage”

had a fascinating chat recently with newcomers to the Sunshine Coast, who shared insights and compliments about our region. It reminded me how wonderfully welcoming and diversely interesting the Coast can be.

Some things surprised them, like that locals apparently don’t enjoy the vibe of Noosa or Mooloolaba at Easter, yet we love to caravan and camp at Cotton Tree at Christmas. Or how congested roads like Nicklin Way or Sippy Downs Drive can become at specific times of the day; how early restaurants and stores close on weekdays; and that the Plaza is a popular place to go when it rains.

They asked me for tips about major retail stores, concert and event venues, cinemas and local doctors. They also warmly praised our universal friendliness, safe beaches, general affordability, quality of schools, quirky coffee spots and the simple beauty of the university campus, our creeks and our many suburban playgrounds.

I realised I’ve been here so long I forget how dynamic, yet how village-like we can look and feel. It’s refreshing to see our lifestyle through visitors’ eyes. It made me want to search online for an advice hub for new locals, or start one.

It also made me seriously consider being an Airbnb host to share my home and also revisit some of the places and reasons that I moved here. It’s been too long since I wandered our art galleries, read a book in a

hinterland cafe, lay among the tourists on a busy beach or even went ‘late night’ shopping on a Thursday. I personally love the Big Kart Track, Aussie World, Mount Coolum, Mary Cairncross Park and Noosa North Shore – so I’m making a commitment to go back to an old haunt every weekend and just hang out.

The council says about 2000 people per month are expected to settle locally as Aura in Caloundra South, Parklakes and other regional developments grow. That’s the size

“It’s refreshing to see our lifestyle through visitors’ eyes…” of some existing townships – each month.

It’s a lot of new families and faces who don’t necessarily have local knowledge about our roads, shortcuts, favourite places, personalities, niceties and customs.

Some people bemoan growth, but it brings infrastructure, jobs and lifestyle opportunities with it and we are very used to seeing the fast pace of change in response. I came from a small town that’s been dwindling all my life and I think we can too easily forget that the challenges in facing growth are preferable to facing decline.

It’s easy to say we’re lucky to live in such a thriving and naturally beautiful region, but I know I need reminding at times.

MY BODY

2-IN-1 COLOUR People rave about this two-in-one cheek and lip stain, saying it’s as good as Benefit’s Benetint, only cheaper. Stila’s Convertible Colour gives a creamy, dewy glow to the cheeks and a luminous tint to the lips, $36 from Mecca Maxima. Available in seven colours, it comes in a mirrored compact for instant on-the-go application.

AUTUMN ESSENTIAL: Petunia: a coral peach cream

tinted lip balm

Rose: a rosy pink cream

If you hate having sore, dry lips during autumn and winter, you have to try the fab new Total Hydration Moisture + Tint lip balm from ChapStick. It soothes and hydrates your lips and gives a gorgeous hint of subtle colour. It comes in Merlot, Rose Petal and Coral Blush and contains 100 per cent naturally sourced ingredients, currently $5.99 from Woolworths (also available at leading pharmacies).

REVIEW

Gloss smudging: the new balayage The new hair technique favoured by Jennifer Aniston and other celebs takes balayage and ombre to the next level. It blends your regrowth into your existing highlights so there’s a seamless gradation of colour. After lightening the hair and washing out the colour, the colourist uses a brush to smudge a coloured gloss or toner at the roots, giving a soft, natural looking finish.

Menopause: Are HRT or Bio-Identical hormones prolonging the inevitable? Know the Facts Hot flushing, insomnia, mood swings, and migraines can be debilitating and unbearable for many women, though completely unnecessary. HRT may seem to be the only answer, though can you remain on HRT or Bio-Identical Hormones for the rest of your life? Are you at risk of prolonging the inevitable? Many women have been prescribed HRT for years, even decades beyond the expected end of menopause. Is this really necessary?

I must admit, I was sceptical when this product landed on my desk. It promised to make my eyelashes thicker and longer and my eyebrows fuller. Using it took commitment – every morning I had to paint a line of the product across the top of my eyelid close to the lashes, and on my eyebrows. Nothing seemed to happen at first, but after about four weeks, I started noticing my lashes looking a little longer when I applied mascara. After three months of regular use, my lashes really are markedly longer. I’ve also noticed a big change in my eyebrows – they have

thickened up quite a bit on the outside. How does it work? The makers say the product contains a breakthrough formula of amino acids, vitamins and water binding ingredients.

Bio-peptides help to rejuvenate and strengthen fragile hairs, penta-peptide helps follicles reach their full potential, ginseng root helps repair damaged hairs and vitamin B3 helps to stimulate micro-circulation in the dermis. It costs $120 and is available from Luv Struck Beauty, Sixth Avenue, Maroochydore.

Would you like exclusive access to opportunities that others don’t receive?

Unfortunately, when it comes time to look at reducing hormone replacement, often women will go through the same symptoms of menopause as late as in her 70’s, though now not as young or robust in health to be able to handle it. The symptoms of menopause are only expected to affect a woman for 18 months from onset to completion, yet we are treating the condition for up to 20 years or more.

In our western culture, our lifestyle goes against how a woman’s body functions, and we have forgotten how to pass on the important information about how the body transitions smoothly.

It is a lot easier than most women know, and are often shocked to find out.

Menopausal symptoms arise when there is the sudden drop in hormones that cause the symptoms, rather than a slow decline over years. Your adrenal glands also produce hormones for a smooth transition as long as you allow them to.

It’s not as difficult as many expect to reduce and sometimes completely eradicate symptoms of menopause within as little as a month when the factors involved are addressed. Hormones rely on cholesterol, an individualised diet to control your hormone fluctuations, adrenal support, healthy strains of specific gut bacteria, and a healthy liver. Addressing these systems at the same time can promote hormone production, not only resolving menopausal symptoms, but anti-aging as well. The good news is that it’s quite simple to do, and can have a very big impact in a very short period of time.

You CAN get off HRT, and get on with a healthy life. If you’d like to know more, call for a free half hour consultation with one of our health practitioners, where you’ll learn about everything that causes hormonal and mood problems, and how to achieve optimal health.

MY HEALTH

IT’S ALL ABOUT GOOD BACTERIA

VEGGIE FRIENDLY IDEAS Looking for ways to hide vegetables in your little one’s food? Here are a few suggestions.

Chocolate beetroot cake – the beetroot moistens what would otherwise be a potentially dry, gluten-free cake and provides the incredible nutritional benefits of beetroot and cacao all in one delicious package.

Zucchini fritters – Most kids love these crispy little treats, and the best thing about them is that you can make a big batch, freeze them, and reheat.

DID YOU KNOW?

James Colquhoun from Food Matters shares his tips on what to eat for a healthy microbiome.

T

he gut, our second brain, is now recognised by many health practitioners to be the root cause of disease and where healing starts.

Science has now recognised why gut health is so important, and it’s called the microbiome.

The microbiome is filled with beneficial bacteria that have a vital link to health and disease, and can be influenced by your diet and lifestyle. Here are five habits that might be affecting the health of your microbiome.

1. Poor diet If you eat a diet that is rich in nutrition and easily digestible, you will feel energetic and alive because your microbiome is thriving. If you eat a processed diet containing bad fats and high in sugar, you will most likely have poor absorption of the little nutrition in the foods and feel tired.

Regular exercise may not always prevent a stroke, but it could determine how well a person recovers from one.

A Harvard University study published in the journal Neurology found those who exercised "vigorously" three times a week or more prior to a stroke were more likely to be independent after the medical emergency compared to those who were inactive.

2. Antibiotics and medications If you take daily medication, or antibiotics more than once a year, you will need to replenish your good bacteria through

fermented foods and probiotic supplements.

3. Alcohol Alcohol kills off the good bacteria in our gut and changes the ecosystem of our digestion.

4. Obsession with cleanliness The overuse of antibacterial and antimicrobial agents might not actually be doing you good. Over-sanitisation causes a lack of exposure to the bugs that help create immunity.

5. A diet low in fermented foods At birth we are exposed to good bacteria when we come through the vaginal birth canal, and then again from breast milk.

Throughout life, we need to eat good bacteria in the form of fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, kombucha, sauerkraut, or miso. These foods will help your microbiome to thrive.

TRAVEL

WILDLY UNUSUAL Visit the world’s most amazing hotels. By Sarah Marshall, AAP.

T

here are extraordinary locations all over the world, but sometimes wildly unusual, jaw-dropping hotels can be destinations in their own right.

As part of six-part BBC Two series Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond The Lobby, hosts Monica Galetti and Giles Coren get to go behind the scenes at some incredible, wanderlust-inducing properties.

Here’s how to visit a few of the top hotels.

MASHPI LODGE, ECUADOR Hummingbirds and rare butterflies flit past windows at this futuristic glass lodge perched high in the Ecuadorian cloud forest. Although just a three-hour drive from capital city Quito, it feels blissfully remote and functions as both a hotel and a research centre. Many of the staff members are former loggers turned conservationists, who take visitors on nature

walks or flights across the jungle canopy in a gondola cable car. A nearby natural pool and waterfall is great for a cooling dip. Mr and Mrs Smith offer doubles from around $1457 per night plus tax. Visit mrandmrssmith.com

GIRAFFE MANOR, KENYA Sharing breakfast with inquisitive giraffes is the main attraction at this historic manor house in Nairobi’s quiet Langata district.

Rothschild giraffes troop across the lawn every morning to poke their heads through bedroom windows, waiting to be fed with pellets left on the sills. Further animal entertainment is provided by comedic warthogs who scramble on their knuckles in the courtyard dining areas, snuffling around guests’ ankles. If you can’t get an overnight stay – it is hugely popular – book a day room for a few hours and still enjoy time with the giraffes. Doubles from around $845 per night.

Visit thesafaricollection.com

ICEHOTEL, SWEDISH LAPLAND Sleeping in subzero temperatures sounds like an ordeal, but an overnight stay in the original Icehotel in Jukkasjarvi is a bucket list break for many. Although rooms in the luxury igloo are a cool minus five degrees Celsius, reindeer skins and expedition sleeping bags help to keep guests warm – while imaginative ice sculptures and sparkling chandeliers are a helpful distraction from the cold.

When the property melts each spring, there’s enough water to fill 21 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Discover The World offers three nights B&B, direct charter flights, transfers and loan of winter clothing from $2065 (two sharing). Season lasts from December 2017 to April 2018.

OUR 50TH YEAR

HOSPITAL FUNDING A CHALLENGE FROM THE START The opening of the new Sunshine Coast University Hospital in Birtinya marks the beginning of a new era in health services and closes the chapter on a time when Maroochy District Hospital in Nambour ruled. WORDS: Dot Whittington.

The Maroochy District Hospital complex in 1955, from left, the red brick nurses’ quarters, outpatients, private and children’s wards, general wards, maternity ward. The isolation ward is back left. Note that Carter Road in the background is not yet lined with houses.

F

rom a mammoth fundraising effort that brought communities together less than century ago, the region’s first major hospital overlooking Nambour, continued to grow, morphing from a humble collection of wooden buildings into a major health facility – making memories for countless families along the way.

It all began around the turn of the century, but was stepped up after World War I when the flu epidemic followed by an outbreak of diphtheria led to public meetings.

Hospitals had been established in some districts for returned soldiers, but concerned residents were keen to see a major hospital in Nambour to serve the North Coast region.

At the time, public hospitals were run as voluntary community hospitals with subscriptions and donations. That changed with the 1923 Hospitals Act to establish district hospitals. The state government would contribute 60 per cent of the funding but the rest had to come from local

authorities – ratepayers. A committee of local business leaders set about raising funds, beginning with collection boxes in offices, shops, schools, halls and railway stations.

The Hibernian Lodge and Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows adopted the campaign and organised a series of annual hospital carnivals, with the first Maytime Hospital carnival held in 1923.

Nambour’s first doctor, Arthur E. Malaher, the Maroochy council’s medical officer, selected the site in Blackall Terrace in 1924 and the hospital committee formally adopted the name Maroochy District Hospital in accordance with the new Act. Each area within the shire was allocated a fundraising goal. Diddillibah and Kidaman Creek hit the target first but more was needed so the committee canvassed door to door.

Construction began in 1925 and proceeded slowly for the rest of the decade but at last it opened on November 15, 1930.

Expansion and upgrading has never stopped, despite early fears that it would have

to close for lack of funding.

In 1934, The Chronicle reported the state government had allocated £1300 for construction of a private ward. The board was “falling in line with the modern vogue in hospital work by which the paying departments were assisting to make up for the non-paying departments”. In 1941-42, a two-storey brick nurses’ quarters was built and, as a particularly fine example of functionalist architecture, was the town’s pride and joy. The brick maternity wing behind its curved brick wall on the northern side opened in March 1961 with 34 beds.

And then there were the people. There would be few children who grew up in the district who don’t remember the name Sister Lawlor with a degree of fear and reverence.

Maree Lawlor ruled the wards in the days when Nambour General Hospital had no wardsmen on night duty and she would help carry the ambulance stretchers into casualty.

She was tall and efficient, with an imposing voice she didn’t hesitate to use.

As a child whose tonsils had been recently removed by Dr Moffat in the early 1960s, I remember Sister Lawlor pacing the enclosed verandah of the old wooden children’s ward keeping all her young charges in line without having to say anything at all.

For many whose birth certificate and that of their parents and even grandparents, state Nambour as place of birth, it is truly the end of an era.

The 50th anniversary of the naming of the Sunshine Coast will be celebrated on August 1, 2017. In the lead-up to the occasion, My Weekly Preview will each week take a look into our region’s past. If you have any historical photos or stories email editorial@myweeklypreview.com.au.

Aura is a vibrant and energetic new city designed to inspire and attract opportunity. It’s a place where world class, contemporary living meets a relaxed Sunshine Coast lifestyle and where commerce, culture and the coast come together for a quality of life that once felt, will never be forgotten.

LARGE TURNOUTS EXPECTED FOR ANZAC DAY After the 100th anniversary of Gallipoli two years ago, Anzac Day attendances show no sign of dwindling. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

A

s the sun rises on April 25, thousands of Sunshine Coast residents will attend Anzac Day services to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Anzac Day is one of Australia’s most important national occasions as it marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. The most significant time to remember the Anzacs is at dawn as this is when the original Gallipoli landing occurred.

The dawn service was first started by returned soldiers in the 1920s and was originally only attended by veterans. But these days, people of all ages and from all nations attend services to pay their respects.

Caloundra Sub Branch president Pat Horgan says he is pleased the number of people attending Anzac services has not dwindled too much following the climactic 100th anniversary of Gallipoli two years ago.

“It just goes to show there is still a great interest in Anzac Day and the interesting thing to me is the number of young people who wish to be involved in everything from the march to the wreath laying and even performing during the service,” he says.

Kawana Dawn service: 5.28am at Kawana Surf Club.

Main service: 10.55am at Kawana Surf Club.

“All indications are that this year will be just as big as the last and it is important, after all, to remember that more Australians and New Zealanders lost their lives on the Western Front than they ever did at Gallipoli, it was really staggering and it hurt our countries a great deal with a tremendous number of young men lost.”

March: 8.30am from Woolworths car park, down Burnett Street to the Buderim State School oval.

Main service: 9am under Pine Forest at the Buderim State School.

ORORA LIMITED – IN THE BOX SEAT

T

he Australian stock market (ASX200) has been enjoying a good run since the Trump election win (who would have thought?). The current index is trading over the 5900 level, which is at the top of our expected 12-month trading range. This makes it difficult to pinpoint stocks still offering value.

One stock that we continue to favour, that we believe is offering value to investors is Orora Limited (ORA). Orora manufactures and distributes packaging products in Australasia and North America. In Australasia, the company has large market

positions in the fibre, aluminium and glass packaging sectors. In North America it holds two to three per cent market share in the highly fragmented packaging distribution market and the point-of-purchase market.

Over the longer term, we expect the company will be able to deliver earnings growth and value through a combination of growth from its existing businesses, acquisitions in North America, and new projects in the Australasian business.

Operating profit of $149.6 million for the six months to December met our forecast, while net profit after tax of $92.1 million was two per cent ahead, principally driven by a lower interest expense. A final dividend of five cents per share was declared (30 per cent franked), which was also in line with our expectation.

The dividend was up 11 per cent and was struck on a payout ratio of 65 per cent.

At the divisional level, both the Australasian and North American businesses marginally exceeded our forecasts, but corporate costs were also higher.

In the Australasian business, fibre earnings were higher than the previous corresponding period driven by manufacturing and operating efficiencies in fibre packaging, and further cost reduction

and innovation benefits from the B9 recycled paper mill in Sydney.

North American operating profit was up 25 per cent to US$41.4 million.

Packaging solutions grew earnings and increased margins by executing on its operating and value-add service model, and increasing sales to new and existing corporate customers.

Orora expects to continue to drive organic growth and invest in innovation and growth during the remainder of the 2017 financial year, with earnings expected to be higher than reported in 2016, subject to global economic conditions.

Following the interim result, we upgraded our earnings per share estimates by 1.5 per cent over the next three forecast years. Our changes principally reflect incorporation of the acquisitions, partially offset by softer organic growth and minor cost headwinds in Australasia in the current half.

BUSINESS BREAKFAST Queensland Origin legend Billy Moore is set to speak at a Maroochydore business breakfast next month.

The event, to be held at the Alex Surf Club, will raise money for the Red Shield Appeal, which is The Salvation Army’s largest annual fundraising drive.

In 2016, the Appeal raised more than $4.7 million nationally to help those people who are in need. A large portion of the Salvation Army’s clients live off $17 a day after housing is paid for, while more than half go without five or more basic items such as medical care and three meals a day.

The breakfast will be on May 3. Entry is free, however attendees will be asked to make a generous donation.

LOCAL MUM LAUNCHES BOOK This Roller Coaster Mumma is having the ride of her life.

THE EVENTS CENTRE, CALOUNDRA TUESDAY 9 MAY AT 8PM www.theeventscentre.com.au | 07 5491 4240

Sunshine Coast author Majella Lennox’s debut book is for all mothers to laugh, love and feel ‘normal’.

Riding the ups and downs of parenthood and the dreaded mother’s guilt can be exhilarating, but also a ride that can induce vomiting.

Roller Coaster Mumma is guaranteed to entertain any mum, whatever age. It is

irreverent and heartfelt and is assurance that you are not alone on this crazy ride.

Lennox shares the unconditional love and protection of a mother for her children through stories from birth to body issues, toddlers to teenagers, and all the taboo subjects in between.

Roller Coaster Mumma is a series of real life laughs, inspiring quotes and spaces to write about your journey on this crazy ride of motherhood.

Lennox says the book is a “pick up, put down, put a smile on your dial, fly by the seat of your pants kind of book, where there is no guilt, no judgement, you can just be.”

A teacher at Caloundra’s Unity College, Lennox says her daughter Aliah has illustrated the book with clever caricatures and her students will be in charge of a pampering station for mums at the upcoming official launch.

College senior hospitality students will cater the event and music students will provide the entertainment.

Lennox encourages mothers to make some time for themselves and come along to the event.

Majella Lennox will launch Roller Coaster Mumma on April 22 at 4pm at Paisley Park in Caloundra.

Author: Penelope Janu Publisher: Harlequin MIRA RRP: $29.99 Reviewer: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane This novel, written by Australian lawyer turned novelist Penelope Janu, is plugged as a quick-witted romantic comedy about losing your cool. But once you delve into the story of Harriett Scott and Commander Per Amudsen, there really are no laugh-out-loud moments at all.

The Burger Bar’s most popular burger is the Midnight Delight. It includes 165 grams of premium ground beef, seasoned with sea salt, ground pepper and cracked pepper, traditional style double smoked bacon, lashings of melted cheddar cheese, a secret chilli garlic aioli and homemade crispy fried onion rings on a bed of gourmet lettuce and tomato.

Brisbane Road, Mooloolaba.

Instead, what you find is a contemporary romance novel, with strong environmental messages intertwined with powerful references to emotional loss and phobias.

It is entertaining to see the relationship between the two unlikely characters unfold, but I found the way the usually strong-willed heroine’s resolve utterly deteriorates in the presence of the Norwegian naval officer quite annoying. Also, I found the commander’s insistence on repeating the same Danish phrases to the avid environmentalist a little reminiscent of Fifty Shades dialogue.

While the book is a good read, do not pick it up expecting a good belly laugh, as the cover would lead you to believe. myweeklypreview.com.au

RETIREMENT PROMOTION

CREATING LOCAL JOBS years, is committed to supporting local tradies and workers.

“Halcyon is a South-East Queensland based family business and we like supporting and employing locals,” he says.

“During the GFC some of our contractors said they faced going to Brisbane or regional areas to find work.

“Fortunately, the Sunshine Coast has emerged from that period and there are far more opportunities here now.

“But for the most part, we’re still using the same contractors we used back then.”

Plumber Len Fox is establishing Halcyon Lakeside’s plumbing and draining systems, as well as installing hot water solar systems.

“Halcyon is making a concerted effort to look after locals. It’s a great opportunity for us tradespeople’’

Plumber Len Fox works on site

A

new Bli Bli over 50s community is injecting employment into the Sunshine Coast with developer Halcyon sourcing the bulk of its contractors from the local area.

The $100 million Halcyon Lakeside is now under construction and brings between 60 to 80 utes, 20 to 30 trucks and around 100 tradespeople to the site every day.

Halcyon Lakeside is the company’s third Sunshine Coast project, following completed communities at Caloundra and Bli Bli. Halcyon Lakeside project director Chris Carley says the company, which has been developing on the Sunshine Coast for 10

He has worked with Halcyon since its debut Sunshine Coast project, Halcyon Parks at Caloundra, in 2006.

“Halcyon is making a concerted effort to look after locals. It’s a great opportunity for us tradespeople based on the Sunshine Coast because it means we don’t have to travel far for work,” Fox says.

“Working locally means a later start, an earlier finish and essentially more money in our pockets at the end of the day.

“We’ve seen Halcyon turn blocks of dirt into communities before and it’s great to be a part of that process.”

Fox has worked on more than 210 Halcyon homes – and counting.

All the reasons to choose

For all Halcyon enquiries, please call 1800 050 555 or visit lifebeginsathalcyon.com.au today.

RETIRE TO BUDERIM

E

denLea is located in one of Buderim’s many beautiful areas, up near the eastern escarpment where residents can enjoy summer’s cooling breezes, and the coastal and forest views from the Lions Park.

The village is located a few hundred metres walk from the township, which provides access to the pleasant village of Buderim. There are numerous coffee shops, cafes, boutiques, medical facilities and grocery stores.

EdenLea itself is an attractive retirement village containing quality two and three bedroom homes of varying architectural styles and sizes, as well as communal buildings where services are provided.

Residents will find a hairdresser, doctor and podiatrist among others and will also enjoy the large lagoon swimming pool, spa, and outdoor relaxation areas.

The Buderim retirement village is set to expand with EdenLea soon unveiling its

newest residential building with apartments, additional communal facilities and new restaurant for residents to use with friends and family.

Another added advantage is that residents of EdenLea can access the village bus to transport them to many Sunshine Coast shopping centres.

There is on site management, seven days a week, and the peace of mind that staff will attend to home calls any time of the day or night to provide emergency assistance if needed.

The services, security, and surroundings are the main things that many residents look for when they move into EdenLea but the friendships made are an added advantage to living there.

More information about EdenLea can be found at edenleaonbuderim.com, by calling 5476 8900, or just drop in to pick up a brochure.

NEW BEGINNINGS AND NEW FRIENDS AT NATURE’S EDGE

S

tanding in stage three of the over 50s lifestyle community, Nature’s Edge Buderim, it is easy to identify with the freedom of living in such a unique setting.

Stage 3, called The Pinnacle, wraps around the multimillion-dollar leisure centre offering a short walk to all of the leisure facilities within the community.

With 60 homes now occupied, the sense of community is strong and growing each week.

The quality of the architecturally designed homes is evident from the initial inspection.

The masterbuilt steel-framed homes have stone bench tops throughout, air conditioning, full height tiles in bathrooms, Opti Glass on linen cupboards, prestige Bermuda tile grates with tile inserts, 450 millimetre deep vanities, walk-in robes, external wall insulation, epoxy seamless flooring in the garage and are all clad in rendered thermal Hebel panels.

Priced from $435,000 all homes are free standing and most have cathedral or clerestory walls and ceilings.

Three such home designs, which are available for sale in stage two or three, are the Petrie, the Crosby and the Mons.

With no exit fees, no stamp duty and no rentals you keep all your capital gain should you wish to sell at a later date.

A homeowner who chose the Petrie design says it is light and airy with an open plan living area.

“With the large sliding doors opening out on to the generous patio area and the three windows, you can open up the area and enjoy the benefit of a cooling breeze,”

the homeowner says.

“The outdoor patio area is ideal for entertaining while at the same time providing a high degree of privacy. Each of the bathrooms are surprisingly large.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my choice of new home.”

Another homeowner, who chose the Mons design, says the spacious bedrooms, ensuite and main bathroom is best suited to

their lifestyle.

“The living and dining areas are a perfect size and with louvre windows all around so we catch the breezes,” the homeowner says.

“A double size garage houses a good sized laundry with ample room for the car and tools. Outdoor living was a big requirement and the Mons fits the bill, with two spacious areas where we can relax with a coffee or a chilled glass of wine. It is perfect for entertaining friends for dinner.”

A homeowner who chose the Crosby design says the raked ceiling provides a sense of space and the high windows let in an abundance of daylight.

“We have a lovely bright house,” the homeowner says.

For those people searching for the dream lifestyle, visit Nature’s Edge today for a look at what’s on offer.

MOTORING PREVIEW

POWERFUL PERFORMER Swedish maker Volvo has lifted the bar for performance and efficiency with its stunning new XC90 SUV. Words: Peter Atkinson, AAP.

S

even seats. Two hundred and ninety-nine kilowatts and 2.1 litres per 100 kilometres.

Three numbers that really don’t belong in the same sentence – let alone in the same vehicle. Especially when that vehicle is a full-sized, seven-seat luxury SUV. But they’re the official figures for Volvo’s ground-breaking new XC90 – a car that, with some justification, is described by its makers as the world’s cleanest SUV. The XC90 combines a clean-running petrol engine with a plug-in hybrid electric

powerplant, which gives this handsome big SUV an unlikely combination of dynamite performance with incredibly frugal and clean operation.

Known as the T8 Twin Engine, this model is the flagship variant of the impressive XC90 range, launched in 2015.

The Twin Engine’s surprising power and performance is the product of several technologies all working together.

First the electric motors use their instant torque to get this big machine rolling. Then it uses both a supercharger and

turbocharger to boost the outputs of its modest two-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine. The supercharger forces fuel into the system, using a mechanical-driven pump, to deliver low-down response before the turbocharger – capturing and re-using exhaust gases to create additional thrust – takes over as the engine starts to spin.

As a result the big Swede jumps away from the traffic lights and will whisk you to the speed limit in a brisk 5.6 seconds. Not bad for a car whose official consumption would put many motorcycles to shame.

The technology theme carries through to the big Volvo’s interior, too.

It features an iPad style centre control screen, where most functions are displayed as an Apple-style icon. As well as being visually stunning, its ease of use and functionality also matches that of an iPad. The Volvo delivers internet access via your phone as well as weather alerts and music streaming services like Spotify.

Styling, as we’ve come to expect from the Swedes, is first class. The cockpit is beautifully streamlined, enhanced by that sleek centre console, with premium materials and a welter of electronics.

While the garden-variety XC90 might be a good thing, it’s this Twin Engine model that’s likely to move the needle in this market.

Its range of almost 50 kilometres in pure electric mode underpins those staggering

economy figures. So, for instance, provided you live within 25 kilometres of your workplace you could drive it to and from the office daily without using a drop of fuel.

On longer runs, the petrol engine comes into play. To be honest, that 2.1 litres per 100 kilometre headline figure might not be achievable in real-world use, but there’s no doubt this is one of the most efficient vehicles in its class.

VOLVO XC90 TWIN ENGINE T8 HOW BIG? It’s a seven-seat SUV that swallows up at least five adults, plus a couple of kids, with ease. Yet despite its size it feels nimble and responsive on the road.

HOW FAST? Surprisingly so, thanks to the high-tech combination of twin-charged petrol, plus electric power. It will reach the speed limit in just 5.6 seconds, which is impressively fast.

HOW THIRSTY? Official consumption is just 2.1L/100km, thanks again to the input of that electric motor. And its emissions are just 49 grams per kilometre.

HOW MUCH? This flagship version of the XC90 will set you back $122,950 plus onroad costs. Entry-level models can be had for around $90-grand.

PROPERTY

AROUND THE WORLD

This luxurious century-old estate and private island could be yours for a cool $233 million.

I

t has been 115 years since Darien’s Great Island was transformed into a private haven and now the 63-acre car accessible island estate is poised to make real estate history.

The island is located 55 minutes from Manhattan, New York City, and is the former summer home of American industrialist William Ziegler.

It is Ziegler’s descendants that are selling the property for a cool US$175 million. If it sells for the asking price, it will be one of the most expensive properties ever sold in America.

The prestige of having your own private island that is still accessible by car is not the only selling hook for this property, which is surrounded by the Long Island Sound.

Great Island has world-class equestrian facilities including its own polo field and workout track and a 20-stall granite structure.

Several beach cottages, a caretaker’s house with a greenhouse, a yacht basin with docks, a gatehouse and a barn are also scattered around the island.

The main house was built to impressive standards in 1850 entirely out of stone with a tile roof, and rests on a stunning site with superb water views from every room. It has since been expanded, but the original character has remained intact.

Great Island is offered by David Ogilvy & Associates with worldwide marketing provided by Christie’s International Real Estate.

HIGH PRESSURE CLEANERS FROM

CHAINSAWS FROM

199

Well, I hope everyone had a happy Easter. But, it was so crowded in the surf.

Every time I paddled for a wave there was someone on my inside. Thank God I am a bit deaf. It certainly helped me when they were yelling at me. I swear they were saying ‘go’… my bad. The good news was that Noosa had heaps of waves and was completely uncrowded…not!

So, as I write this, things are still progressing at Bells. Let’s hope Owen scores some more points. I reckon Julian was on the bad end of the judges but what do you do?

A pulse of 10 to 12 foot predicted for Wednesday.

Ok, this weekend we have some waves about but with strong winds attached so get what you can. Now is the time to start planning your Indo assaults. Boat trip? Land camp? Or, just hit Bali with all the bogans.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi.

Have a good one peeps.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Quality bream on the rising tide from Maroochy bar to Twin Waters with whitebait and fowl gut best baits. Whiting and flathead taking yabbies and live baits along the Twin Waters banks. Cod and Jew at the Motorway bridge using plastics.

SURF: Tarwhine and bream around the coffee rock at Maroochy main beach using fowl gut and pillies. Tailor just on dark at Pincushion with dart, whiting and flathead along North Shore Maroochy.

OFFSHORE: The recent rain has improved offshore fishing with mackerel feeding on bait schools just off Currimundi. The Gneerings is returning squire, sweetlip and parrot on squid.

The Barwon banks, when conditions allow, is the spot for snapper, pearl perch and rosy job fish using pillies.

FRESHWATER: Most local impoundments have reasonably high levels with the best results coming from below the dam walls. Somerset Dam is firing for golden perch and bass on live shrimps and deep diving lures. Heaps of red claw on offer. Don’t forget your freshwater license from Australia Post or online.

ARIES (MAR 21-APR 20)

TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 21)

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUN 21)

With the new moon in your cash zone you’re in the mood for a spending spree. But is that a smart idea? When it comes to money, if you are put in the preparation then you’ll be able to capitalise on the lucky breaks that come your way later in the year.

New moon Wednesday is a wonderful time to rejuvenate your appearance, kick-start a project or reboot plans for the next 12 months.

Bulls certainly love their routines, but you’ll be jolted out of predictability when Venus powers into Aries.

Flashes of inspiration make for an exciting week. But there’s a tendency to be a real know-it-all. Come Friday (when Uranus hooks up with retro Mercury) you’re likely to blurt out the most inappropriate comment to the most inappropriate person.

CANCER (JUN 22-JUL 23)

LEO (JUL 24-AUG 23)

VIRGO (AUG 24-SEP 23)

Are you being a cranky crab? With Mercury reversing through your work zone, professional projects aren’t progressing as quickly as you’d like.

This week’s stars encourage you to perceive a delay as an opportunity to review, revise and reboot.

Wednesday’s new moon helps you power ahead with professional changes that have the potential to transform your life in positive ways.

And Mars and Venus boost your courage and creativity so you can pursue your goals for the future.

Do you have to be so virtuous, and such a stickler for doing things the right way? This week’s stars encourage you to experiment with a new style. Travel is likely over the next 12 months, as the new moon activates your adventure zone.

LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)

SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

With Jupiter jumping through your sign (until October 10) a personal project shows great promise. But with Mercury retrograding through your relationship zone, don’t let the opinions (and criticism) of loved ones and colleagues hold you back Libra.

Transformation is the name of the game this week, as the new moon boosts your personal magnetism, and your ability to rise from the ashes of a difficult situation. Or a close relationship has the potential to be reborn into a positive partnership.

Fiery Sagittarians are honest and forthright (some would say blunt and insensitive). With Mercury now reversing through your friendship zone, you’ll have an increased tendency to shoot from the hip (or rather the lip) in social situations.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

Capricorns are practical but it’s your creative side that can really take you places this week. So use delicious daydreams, visualisation and active imagination to help you set goals and plan for the future. Don’t dream small … make sure you go for gold!

Aquarians can be very disorganised.

Wednesday’s new moon encourages you to establish some sort of routine, which will help you complete tasks.

Friday’s Mercury-Uranus connection increases your impulsive side, and makes you more accident-prone.

The new moon highlights your travel and education zone. But with Mercury in retro mode, it’s time to plan a holiday or revise written work. And with Mercury and Saturn reversing through your business zones, don’t take work and money for granted.

Solve all the clues and reveal the eight-letter word spelled down the middle of the grid.

THE LAST WORD

PLAYING WITH WORDS Richard O’Leary says the Urban Dictionary is a cooler version of his childhood rhyming slang.

I

grew up with rhyming slang. And no, I wasn’t raised before Federation, although it was country New South Wales in the ‘70s, so there were some similarities.

It wasn’t unusual for someone to have a ‘Barry Crocker’, ask ‘What’s the John Dory?’ or to make a call on the ‘dog and bone’.

Not all the slang rhymed of course, I also grew up on a steady diet of snags, pavs, chockies, sambos, and yabbies.

But these days I’m more of an urban dictionary sort of guy, which I discovered a couple of years ago while editing a piece for My Weekly Preview.

I even remember the word – ‘luxe’.

When I saw it I thought, what the George Pell is that?

When I questioned the word with my colleagues, they steered me towards the Urban Dictionary, where I

found out luxe is short for luxurious – as in, man, your house is luxe.

Once opened, this Pandora’s box of pith and pathos has been impossible to close, so I’d thought I’d give you a Captain Cook at my top 10 favourite Urban Dictionary words of all time.

A crapella: singing out loud while listening to music with your headphones on. Whereas the singer gets the benefit of the music, those unfortunate to be standing nearby are subjected to an unaccompanied (and invariably crappy) rendition of the song.

Adulting: doing something grown-up and responsible.

Friendscaping: going through your social network friend list and trimming the ones you don’t want anymore.

Blamestorming: sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and identifying a scapegoat.

Cyberslacking: using a company’s computer and internet for personal activities when one should be doing work.

Immature: what one redneck says to another when he wants his chair back.

Screenager: a teenager who loves to watch the small screen in front of him/her.

Prebuttal: the act of providing a rebuttal before the opponent has actually said anything.

Hozak: to make up a word in Scrabble when about to lose.

Name ambush: when an acquaintance you haven’t seen for a long time greets you by name but you don’t have time to remember their name.

Anyway it’s time for me to bizzounce.

Until next week, keep it locked.

However those of us who have taken the decision to live here, are more convinced that it is also the perfect place to call home. And for good reason.

Unlike of lot of sea change options, Sunshine Cove doesn’t require you to sacrifice a modern, urban lifestyle or indeed the facilities and resources that come with it. Sunshine Cove is not only located in the heart of Maroochydore’s CBD, its adjacent to the recently commenced SunCentral, multimillion dollar Maroochydore CBD redevelopment. The largest ever undertaken within regional Australia.

With 36 hectares of parklands and conservation zones, all linked by walking and bike ways to our lake foreshore, Sunshine Cove’s facilities and Maroochydore itself, you have the best of both worlds. A balance between what we have to do everyday, and your true lifestyle desires.

From waterfront blocks that look out over stunning north facing lake vistas, to park side terrace allotments offering beautiful landscaped parkland scenery you have an abundance of choices when it comes to homesites. Whether it’s a larger family home, a waterfront terrace or an inner city townhouse you have the flexibility to design the home that meets your individual needs.

It’s a reality that more, and more people are achieving when they choose to call Sunshine Cove home or indeed create an investment for their future.

We invite you to come take a walk around Sunshine Cove. Wander along our boardwalks and pathways, for only then will you appreciate the lifestyle we are building here.

And if you’d like to know more... come talk to us.
