FROM THE EDITOR

I

love Christmas in Queensland, and more specifically, here at home on the Coast. Sunny (let’s hope!) days, lazy afternoons at the beach, mornings spent browsing the local markets and creating holiday meals for my family from the fresh, seasonal produce.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a quintessentially Australian Christmas without seafood straight from the waters here off the Coast. Mooloolaba prawns anyone? This edition I have handed the editorial reins over to celebrated chef Adam Liaw of Masterchef and Destination Flavour fame, who has stepped in as contributing editor of our cover story.

Adam has kindly shared his tips to ensure our Christmas tables are laden with a Sunshine Coastworthy feast. The story is on page 12.

Summer, seafood, style and shopping – we have it all in this week’s edition of My Weekly Preview. I hope you enjoy.

On behalf of the entire team here at MWP, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of our readers, advertisers and supporters for your continued support. As we won’t be publishing an edition again until December 28 (the team is set to enjoy a well-earned holiday), I would like to wish each and every one of you a happy, healthy and safe Christmas.

Hold your family and loved ones close and treasure each moment with them. Share in laughter and joy and remember that each day is a gift – savour those moments. Merry Christmas.

QUICK CHAT

TRUE BREW Where do you live? We moved straight into Caloundra area when we emigrated from the Netherlands 11 years ago. We love it!

First job? I grew up in a small town in Texas, and worked at the local Dairy Queen restaurant.

What are you currently working on? I am putting the finishing touches on a new tea blend.

Your family includes? My husband, two daughters, who are 13 and nine, our dog and guinea pig.

Favourite book? Josephine Moon’s The Tea Chest. It lit a fire inside me that got me to this point with my business.

If your life was a book, what would be the title? The World Through The Eyes Of A Botanist.

What are you reading now? I am just about finished with Ahn Do’s The Happiest Refugee.

r tea-love

Monica Naples BIO

Originally from Texas, Monica Naples emigrated to the Netherlands and then to Australia. She loves all things tea and her company AR-T strives to produce tea blends that create a memorable tea experience. All blends are designed, handcrafted and packed on the Sunny Coast. AR-T is a socially and environmentally responsible company, sourcing only organic ingredients and ethical teas. Find out more at ar-t.com.au.

IMAGE: TRACY NAUGHTON

Favourite song and why? Love Generation by Bob Sinclar. It is such a happy song and the film clip reminds of the carefree days of being a kid.

Best day in your life and why? I have two. When I walked across the stage to receive my botany diploma and winning two Golden Leaf Awards, because I felt like I achieved something through my passion and drive.

Can you nominate a day in your life that turned out to be a turning point and why? Meeting my husband 20 years ago. It completely changed the course of my life, as I moved two countries and now call Australia home.

Your greatest regret? I don’t really have regrets but if I have to name something it would be not starting my tea company sooner as I have always been a tea fanatic.

What achievement are you most proud of? My company because it is something I built out of love, passion, knowledge and creativity! I would love to pass on the love and beauty of tea to as many people as I can.

“Josephine Moon’s The Tea Chest lit a fire inside me that got me to this point”

What are you watching right now, would you recommend it, and why? I don’t watch television much, mostly just ABC iview when I get on my exercise bike. So I’m able to catch up on Ahn’s Brush with Fame.

He is an amazing person and an extremely talented artist and interviewer.

When was the last time you played sport and what was it? I think it was beach volleyball in Fiji. I mostly do yoga or swimming laps in my pool.

You are happiest when? Sipping a cup of good tea in the garden.

What frustrates you the most? The misconception of tea as a drink that comes from a tea bag.

How do you deal with your frustrations? I make that a goal of mine to share the beauty and diversity of tea with people.

If you could tell your 18-year-old self anything, what would it be? Be true to yourself.

If you could have dinner with any three people, dead or alive, who would they be? David Bowie, Frida Kahlo and Henry David Thoreau (my favourite artists).

If you won $1 million, how would you spend it? I would invest in getting my first shop up and running.

Best advice you’ve been given? Assume nothing.

My grade eight teacher had a bumper sticker on the blackboard with that advice.

Tea or coffee and how do you have it? Seriously? Black, strong and not bitter. My favourite tea at the moment is Nepalese Summer Harvest Black tea.

What is your favourite place on the Sunshine Coast and why? Pumicestone Passage and the northern tip of Bribie Island. They are beautiful areas.

NRL or AFL? AFL, as a lot of our friends are from Victoria and are right into it.

If you could change one thing on the Sunshine Coast, what would it be? Ban polystyrene cups and containers.

Know someone interesting on the Sunshine Coast?

sea

What W Wh hat hat a iss C h isstm hr mass Christmas ith h t a table t bl bl lladen d with ith th without fresh seafood? The Sunshine Coast is home to one of Queensland’s largest fishing ports (in Mooloolaba), which means our seafood comes straight off the boat and is delivered fresh to the region’s abundant supply of fishmongers. A Queensland department of fisheries spokesperson says more than 1100 tonnes of fish was caught in the Sunshine Coast region in 2017. And according to the experts, some of the most sustainable seafood in the world comes from Queensland’s waters. So, what are you waiting for? Dig in!

F CONTRIBUTING EDITOR Adam Liaw Born in Malaysia to an English-Singaporean mother and Hainanese Chinese father, Mr Liaw’s culinary influences are far-reaching. Instantly recognisable with his warm smile and topknot, the Destination Flavour host and MasterChef season two winner is one of Australia’s favourite cooks, authors and television presenters. Season six of his award-winning Destination Flavour series is currently airing on SBS. This season Mr Liaw heads to China and travels from his mother’s house in Beijing right through to his grandfather’s ancestral village on Hainan Island. The talented foodie has kindly taken on the role as My Weekly Preview’s guest editor this week and shares his seafood tips ahead of the silly season.

ood is the story of our country. As an agricultural and migrant nation there is no better way to appreciate Australian culture than through food. It’s what brings us together and hidden in it is the code of our history.

Seafood in Australia is truly second to none, but I wish at home we had a bit more confidence around it. We don’t eat enough variety in our seafood, which isn’t great for sustainability, our fishermen, our health, or our wallets. If we were a bit more varied in the seafood we ate, we’d all be better off.

My top tip for choosing great seafood is to get to know your fishmonger. They’re the experts and can tell you what’s good, what’s in season and what’s a bargain. My local fishmonger texts me or my wife when something comes in that he knows we’ll like, and if you want great seafood that’s the kind of relationship that’s important.

Simple is always best when it comes to cooking seafood. For

salmon we’ll usually just grill it with a bit of salt and serve it with a wedge of lemon. If you get the skin nice and crisp and the inside delicate then that’s all you need. With prawns I love to roast them in their shells on the barbecue.

The shell is where all the flavour is.

COVER STORY

GRILLED PRAWNS WITH FENNEL & SALTY LIME

TOP Adam Liaw knows a thing or two about prepping for a Christmas meal.

“Our family Christmases are huge,’’ he says. “The past few years there have been around 60 family members at each, and I’m generally the one doing the cooking.

I don’t mind it though. Christmas is actually a pretty easy meal to cook for a crowd – there are lots of hands to help.”

Here are Mr Liaw’s top five tips for preparing a successful seafood feast these holidays.

1. Order ahead. If you’ve got a good fishmonger that you trust, get them onto it. The last thing you want to do on Christmas Eve is to fight the crowds for what’s left.

2. Go whole. Whole fish are easy to cook and taste much better than fillets.

3. Start with oysters. They take almost no time to prepare, and it gets every Christmas off to a good start.

4. Don’t throw out prawn shells. They make a great stock or oil.

5. Don’t leave it out all day. Get the seafood on the table at the start of the meal but then put it back in the fridge after about an hour. You don’t want it sitting in the sun all afternoon. If people want seconds, they can get it from the fridge.

BUYING SEAFOOD Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the abundance of seafood the Coast has on offer.

Here are our top tips.

• Select seafood that looks shiny.

• Eyes on fish should be clear and not sunken, while the scales should be shiny and healthy.

• Prawns should have a glossy appearance.

• Oysters should look plump, not dry and sunken into the shells.

• When storing your seafood it should be refrigerated between zero and four degrees.

• If prawns are not the main item for lunch or dinner then 250 grams per person is a good guideline to follow.

The quality of prawns comes down to two main factors: clean estuarial waters without pollution from either the land or the sea, and fishermen who know how to handle their catch. Australian prawns are excellent quality.

PREPARATION 10 MINUTES | COOKING 10 MINUTES | SERVES 2 INGREDIENTS • 12 raw extra-large ethically sourced prawns, unpeeled • 1 tbsp olive oil • 1 dried red chilli • 1 tbsp sea salt flakes • ½ tsp fennel seeds • ¼ tsp coriander seeds • ¼ tsp black peppercorns • Juice of two limes METHOD 1. Remove the intestines from the prawns by either pulling them out with a skewer between the plates of the shell, or by splitting down the back of each prawn with a sharp knife. Brush each prawn with a little oil.

2. Take a sheet of foil and fold it in half.

Place the dried chilli on top, along with the salt flakes, fennel and coriander seeds, and peppercorns. Fold the foil around the spices, into an enclosed package.

3. Heat a barbecue grill to medium heat and toast the package of spices for about five minutes. Grill the prawns for two to three minutes on each side, or until just cooked through, then transfer to a serving plate.

4. Grind the toasted spices to a coarse powder using a mortar and pestle and transfer to a small dish. To eat, mix the lime juice with the ground spices and dip the prawns into the mixture.

tip “Seafood cooked in the shell will always have more flavour than if it’s peeled before cooking. Whether grilling, boiling or frying, I always try to cook prawns, lobsters, crabs and any other shellfish as whole as possible.”

The recipe and image are an edited extract from Destination Flavour by Adam Liaw published

by Hardie Grant & SBS Books, RRP $50. It is available in stores nationally. Adam’s new TV series Destination Flavour China airs on SBS at 7.30pm on Wednesdays. For another of Adam’s great recipes, head to our My Time section on page 46.

The fun night included live music by Sunshine Coast band Pineapple Crush with lucky door prizes up for grabs.

The main prize was donated by Sunshine Coast Airport, with one lucky volunteer walking away with return air fares from Sunshine Coast Airport to Auckland, New Zealand.

BUDERIM 9: BIGGER, BOLDER, FRESHER Sunshine Coast’s ever-popular Buderim 9 Challenge is coming of age. With seven successful events under its belt and an ever-growing field of riders, the Argon Law Buderim 9 Challenge has a host of new features on offer this year. Ride Ambassador and Australian Cycling Champion Henk Vogels says the annual 76-kilometre community cycling event covering nine tough hills around Buderim has a revised challenging course, incorporated a new ride start and finish location, and now sports a brand-new look. “The new course starts (and finishes) at its new home located at the Wanderer’s Soccer Club, Ballinger Road at the southern foothills of Buderim which will provide more room for the growing rider and supporter base,” he says. “This also means the order of the 76-kilometre hill challenge needed a shake-up, which will give the ever-faithful returning riders a new perspective and keep them on their pedals.” Local cerebral palsy champions and ride ambassador Max Quaglio says the event raises valued funds for local cerebral palsy organisation, CPL – Choice Passion Life. “This year’s event is taking place on December 16,” Mr Quaglio says. “Last year saw more than 300 cyclists from around the globe and across the country join local riders take the three-hour course, raising proceeds for families on the Sunshine Coast living with cerebral palsy.” While rider registrations are now closed, visit buderim9.com. au to find out how you can show your support for the riders.

LEGEND OF THE LIGHTS For 41 years Currimundi resident Brian Gold has been delighting the young, and the young at heart, with his annual Christmas light display. His Tibouchina Place home, which is now open to the public through to Christmas Eve, is nothing short of magical. Featuring 23,000 lights, snow machines and a dancing Santa, the display attracts up to 300 people a night. “We get about 2000 people on Christmas Eve when Santa comes over the roof to say hello,’’ Mr Gold says.

“I love it. I started setting up in October. It’s just a lot of fun.’’

FIREWORKS AND FURRY FRIENDS It’s that time of year when festive celebrations are in full swing and there are plenty of colourful fireworks displays at various events across the region. But, for the 53,000 dogs that also call the Coast home, the fireworks can be frightening. Community Programs Portfolio councillor Jenny McKay says it is important for all dog owners to make sure their pets are safe and secure during a fireworks display. “To keep your dog safe during a fireworks event, keep them indoors, close the curtains, turn the TV up to mask the noise and stay with them to keep them calm,” she says. “If you can’t be home, consider having someone else be there to look after your dog or take them to another safe place for the night.”

‘ESSENCE OF THE SUNSHINE COAST’ REVEALED Members of the Sunshine Coast Business Council (SCBC) met in Marcoola for the organisation’s Annual General Meeting and Christmas function and to view a much anticipated audio-visual which aims to capture the ‘essence of the Sunshine Coast’. The presentation draws from a decade of research, as well as recent engagement with community organisations and SCBC partners. SCBC Chair Sandy Zubrinich says it is the result of the business and broader community recognising the need for the Sunshine Coast region to have an overarching story. “I believe this is a valuable step in bringing clarity to our regional values which have emerged over the years.” The video can be viewed on scbusinesscouncil.com.au.

JOBS APLENTY ON THE COAST, SAYS MAYOR Mayor Mark Jamieson delivered his annual State of our Region address last Friday. He commented on the rapid growth of our region: “Here on the Sunshine Coast we are positioning ourselves as a unique region, distinct from the rest of southeast Queensland, but connected with the world. Latest economic data shows that our region’s annual employment growth of 5.3 per cent is well ahead of the state’s jobs growth at 3.6 per cent. Household incomes have also improved significantly since 2011, from being 22 per cent below the state average to approximately nine per cent below the state average. We won’t rest there – I want to see us at least level pegged with the state average within the next 10 years.”

USC SPORTS HALL OF FAME AWARDS Boxing great Brad Hore and world lifesaving champion Jenny Parry have been inducted into the Sunshine Coast Sports Hall of Fame at the University of the Sunshine Coast. Mr Hore’s amateur boxing career included 214 fights, of which he won 177. He won seven Australian titles, 12 Queensland titles and two Golden Gloves awards. He went on to represent Australia at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games. Ms Parry joined the Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club as a teenager went on to set multiple Australian, Commonwealth and World Games records.

Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club became the Youth Lifesaving World Champions after demolishing the opposition at the 2018 Lifesaving World Championships held in Adelaide last week. The Black Swans won the overall Youth category by a massive 137 points over Northcliffe. In doing so, they won nine gold, nine silver, five bronze medals, and set three Australian records. On their way to winning the overall Youth Title, Maroochydore also claimed the ocean competition with a 15-point victory over Northcliffe and then won the pool competition by 122 points over Currumbin.

CALOUNDRA MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL NOW OPEN The new Beez Kneez black-diamond mountain bike trail in Caloundra is now open. The trail in Caloundra Town Reserve was built for riders by riders, with trail builders Trailworx leading the construction team. Minister for Sport Mick de Brenni says the Beez Kneez trail is unique, with gravity flow trails, two major gravity generators, three wall rides, jumps, multiple timber skill features and a step-up finish. “All this is packed into a heart-stopping 900 metres set in natural bushland only 10 minutes from some of the best beaches in the world,” he says.

“The 12 kilometres of trails in the reserve suit all levels of skill, from beginners to experienced riders and are used about 600 times a week.” myweeklypreview.com.au

PROFILE

HEALTHY DOSE OF DETERMINATION PAYS OFF It’s never too late to pursue your dreams. That’s the message Buderim resident Jeannine Paterson wants others to take on board, as she gears up to start her dream job as a new doctor at the age of 51. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

IMAGE: TRACY NAUGHTON

J

eannine Paterson’s quietly spoken demeanour underlies a fierce determination. At the age of 51, the Buderim mother of three recently graduated from medicine and will start work as a doctor at Sunshine Coast University Hospital on January 11.

“When I was little I always wanted to be a doctor,” she says. “It was always what I wanted to do, but life took me in different directions.”

Born in New York, she moved to Austria when her parents separated and attended boarding school there. Upon graduating, she began studying medicine at the University of Vienna at the age of 18. But after meeting her Australian husband Scott, she immigrated to Australia in 1992 and was unable to continue her studies.

“When I came to Australia I wasn’t a resident and couldn’t attend university unless I was able to pay overseas student fees,” she says. “They also looked at my degree as being partially completed and said I would have to start over. At that stage, my priorities had shifted. I wanted a family. I wanted stability. I didn’t want to dump my kids in child care and never see them. My heart said, ‘no, you need to be home primarily with your kids if you want a family’.”

Dr Paterson studied naturopathy, followed by a bachelor of nursing and a postgraduate diploma in midwifery science. “In my final year of natural therapies I had my first child. Then I thought nursing and midwifery would be a really nice career.”

Three sons later, the family moved from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast and Dr Paterson began working as a midwife at Nambour Hospital. But as her three sons grew and became more independent, she realised she still hadn’t fulfilled that lifelong dream.

“The old desire to do medicine came back,” she says. “I just didn’t want any regrets.”

She sat the nerve-racking GAMSAT (Graduate Australian Medical School Admissions Test) in 2014 and began her postgraduate degree in medicine at the Gold Coast campus of Griffith University in 2015.

“I had to move to the Gold Coast,” she says. “I got a unit and lived there during the week and commuted home on the

weekend. Scott and the boys were left to hold the fort on their own. My youngest son Hugh was nine, Danny was 15 and Nick was 18. Nick and I started uni in the same week.

“You always have maternal guilt, leaving a nine-year-old behind, but the other two were self-sufficient,” she says. “It was important for me to have my own space. It meant I could be away and be able to concentrate on what I needed to, not to be dragged into doing school drop-offs, laundry and the day-to-day runnings of a household.

“I was lucky to have an enlightened husband who was very supportive to want to see me fulfil my potential. He

was able to fulfil his in chasing the career he wanted. He saw that it was my window of opportunity. It was my time.”

Dr Paterson says the subject matter itself wasn’t difficult for her to grasp, but rather than sheer amount of work required to complete the degree was at times overwhelming. “There were days, particularly before exams, where I would be sitting there for 10 hours a day studying.”

The other challenge was navigating relationships with a cohort of students in their early twenties.

“There were a lot of lovely, smart, intelligent kids but at the same time, there was a high level of immaturity and cliquiness. A lot of people never even spoke to me. That was the hardest part, because I felt a bit of a fringe-dweller. I was away from my family, my social connections here on the Coast, away from my comfort zone. Had I not had my one good friend, it would have been a really lonely four years.”

Dr Paterson received a scholarship through the Australian Defence Force and at the age of 48 became an Officer in the Royal Australian Air Force. So after completing her two-year internship and residency at SCUH, she may be deployed. By that time, her youngest son will be 15.

Despite her extraordinary achievements, Dr Paterson is humble. She simply wants to share her story to encourage other women not to give up on their dreams.

“I think women often put their own aspirations aside because they get so invested in the family and kids and rightfully so,” she says. “As they get to this stage in life – the forties and fifties – they grieve the loss of youth and loss of fertility. There are a lot of emotional changes happening. I guess what I would want is for women to be encouraged through this story. To basically reframe their perspective on this time of life. This is a huge opportunity for them to pursue their aspirations. They have more freedom, more space.

“Women have so much that’s really valuable. They should never underestimate what they’re capable of. Put your mind to it and don’t worry about the barriers and obstacles. A lot of the time, when you make that decision and make that leap, a lot of the things you thought were obstacles will sort themselves out.

“It’s never too late. Don’t ever think it’s too late.”

CAN YOU HELP SUNNYKIDS HELP KIDS?

NRL COMES TO THE COAST

SunnyKids is aiming to help 1000 at-risk kids on the Coast this financial year. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

Chris Turner – SunnyKids CEO

D

uring the past financial year, 775 Sunshine Coast children were assisted by family support service and charitable organisation SunnyKids.

Of these young people seeking help, 71 per cent were working through emotional issues, 67 per cent were in a domestic violence situation, 47 per cent were affected by medical issues and a startling 33 per cent were experiencing homelessness.

For SunnyKids CEO Chris Turner, assisting these children with financial and emotional support is vital.

And rather than simply responding to children in crisis, Mr Turner wants to boost prevention and early intervention for at-risk children, so they never have to experience the feeling of not knowing where they will sleep tonight, what they will eat tomorrow or live in a constant state of fear or anxiety.

Alarmingly 5000 Sunshine Coast children have been identified as being at risk this year. With figures like this, Mr Turner says it’s more important than ever for SunnyKids to

expand prevention programs like Village Buddies, where adults volunteer to be matched with a Young Buddy to spend a couple of hours weekly or fortnightly.

Village Buddies are screened, trained and matched to young buddies’ interests and requirements. It may be as simple as kicking a ball around a park, teaching a child to fish or taking a child to sports sessions or art classes.

“These children could just need another positive person in their life, have grandparents as parents, or parents who are facing their own challenges and just need a break,” Mr Turner says.

“Village Buddies is a cost-effective program for us to run and it’s beneficial for us to get in early when problems are just starting. There is a huge difference between prevention and early intervention and crisis for us. We really would like to be doing as much prevention and early intervention as we can.”

At the end of the 2018 financial year, SunnyKids was facing the greatest demand on its services and resources in the history of

the organisation.

And with government agencies, which are largely responsible for crisis care, also being overwhelmed with demand, Mr Turner says the local organisation has been tasked with filling the gap.

“It is hard to imagine a future where we don’t have 5000 kids in crisis, but at SunnyKids, we want to see a future where they can get immediate help,” he says.

“If we could decrease the number of children flowing into the crisis area, through effective prevention programs like Village Buddies, we are building that fence at the top of the cliff.”

Mr Turner says the organisation has set a goal to reach 1000 children this financial year and fundraising campaigns like the Santa 600, which is being spearheaded by Mix FM personalities Todd and Sami, will help them to gain the funding they need to expand the Village Buddies early intervention program as well as reach out to more children in crisis.

The campaign calls for 150 businesses or individuals to pledge $600 each to SunnyKids It Takes a Village to Raise a Child program, which would raise $90,000 for the organisation.

Mr Turner says people can commit to donating $1.64 a day for the year if that is more achievable for them.

The combination of the funding boost and an increase in the number of registered Village Buddies will stand SunnyKids in good stead to change many more lives in 2019.

To find out how you can become a Village Buddy or donate to the Santa 600 campaign, visit sunnykids.org.au.

Football history is set to take place when NRL powerhouses South Sydney Rabbitohs and New Zealand Warriors face off on Sunshine Coast turf next year.

The April 13 clash will be the first NRL game played for premiership points in the region. Tickets are now on sale for the game, which forms part of an agreement between the Rabbitohs, Sunshine Coast Council and Tourism and Events Queensland. The club will play one allocated home game at Sunshine Coast Stadium for the next three seasons.

Last week, Rabbitohs forward George Burgess joined Sunshine Coast Deputy Mayor Tim Dwyer to officially launch tickets for the 2019 match.

“We’re looking forward to having a strong contingent of Rabbitohs and Warriors members in the crowd… but we’re also keen for our local rugby league loving community to have the best chance to see the NRL in their backyard for the first time,” Cr Dwyer says.

“Rugby league has a strong support base here on the Coast, including those who keep our local clubs running, former and current players, and mums and dads who get their kids to training each week, as well as those who watch the NRL on TV.” Visit sunshinecoaststadium. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

ALL IN A DAY’S WORK School chaplaincy services provide vital support for school students. My Weekly Preview speaks to one ‘chappy’ about his passion for helping local kids.

W

ith state school students saying farewell to school this week and looking forward to the summer holidays, hundreds of school chaplains across the state will be taking stock of the year that has been and start turning their minds towards the ways in which they can assist their young charges on their return to school in 2019.

It’s a routine ‘Chappy’ Stu Cran has become familiar with, after working with young people for more than 32 years. For the past 13 he has worked at Mountain Creek State High School as a member of the student services team.

“I started out working with teenagers many years ago and had an idealistic view of my role and the results that would come,” he says. “It didn’t take long for me to realise that I can’t hold onto changed lives as a motivation for the daily grind of youth work. People make their own choices, either good or bad. This makes the job a challenging one. Having said all that, I do have a deep sense of appreciation that many students invite me into their story. Sometimes it’s a story that no one else has heard. I also know that there is great responsibility that goes with this.

“I love it when a student ‘gets it’. When they see new possibilities for themselves and others. When they catch the vision for a better world and they get passionate about wanting to change themselves and their community.”

Scripture Union Queensland, which is officially endorsed by the Department of Education, has 600 chappies working throughout the state and they focus their work around six elements including social and emotional support, spiritual

support, educational support, extra-curricular activities, mentoring and community development.

Mr Cran liaises with workers from local youth organisations and churches that help with breakfast programs, lunchtime activities and other specialist resilience programs for boys and girl, and he initiated the No Limits and Trek program, where he pulls together a group of girls and a group of boys from Year 10 across a broad range of

academic levels, personal and social confidence as well as behavioural reputations to build self-awareness and strengthen self-perception.

“The reason we do this is because for true self-awareness to occur, students need the interaction and feedback from others,” he says. “The group dynamic of working together with people that you don’t know and possibly don’t even like is very powerful. We set up a ‘group deal’, where the students decide how they are going to respect each other and how they will participate together.

“The students create that and we throw challenges at them, where they initially fail.

With plenty of good debriefs, the students realise that when they actually respect each other, they can do amazing things together and overcome seemingly impossible tasks.”

Mr Cran says the groups spend seven one-hour sessions together during term two, followed by a day of outdoor activities and ropes courses at Luther Heights campsite at Coolum. The following term, they use the expertise of Sunday Creek Environmental Education Centre to run a three-day trek experience, which starts on the western side of Conondale National Park and finishes at Booloumba Creek campsite around 40 kilometres away.

“The students carry everything on their back and tackle some pretty serious hills.

Needless to say, there is always a lot of dummy spitting,” he says.

“Before day one has finished, most students will be telling themselves that they just can’t do it. It’s too hard. This is impossible. I just want to go home. Each night, we have a good debrief where the students evaluate how they went and how the group went. They then set goals for the next day.

“Day two is the hardest and the longest day, yet they normally do it in less time and with less complaining. Day three we tackle Mount Allen from the north side. Very steep and very painful.”

But Mr Cran says each year without fail, the student emerge from the experience as changed people, who are prepared to tackle life head-on with a newfound respect for themselves and those around them.

This is what makes his work, which is often challenging, so rewarding.

“Students can easily lose a sense of hope.

For most this is a temporary thing but for some the sense of hopelessness is longer lasting,” he says.

“I love the challenge of helping young people ‘see’ that their life has huge potential and that there is always something to live for. There is always hope. This normally involves looking at their reality differently.

“For some it is looking beyond the hurts of the past. For a growing number of others, it has to do with questions of spirituality, of purpose in life, reasons for being.”

TRAVEL

DOWN THE TUBE Kauai is a prehistoric-looking island with a troubled history. But the locals have a unique way of exploring this beautiful place. WORDS: Michael Wayne, AAP.

T

o some, the thought of floating down a mountain in a freezing stream in a tube sounds like chaos.

Luckily, as we stand in line to be lowered into our brightly coloured rings, we’re informed there’s one rule to live by.

“Any time you mention the word ‘cold’, we splash you.”

Given the choice between zip-lining or inner tubing, it felt like no choice at all.

Zip-lining is a moment in time, over in seconds. We may as well tube, take our time and enjoy it. After all, what’s the rush?

It still seemed like the right choice during the rain-drenched drive up the mountain.

Our tiny bus felt insignificant compared with the majestic terrain around us – the leafy wilderness of Kauai, Hawaii’s wettest island.

And Mount Waialeale is one of the wettest spots in the world. The water comes from the top of the mountain and runs through the former Lihue sugar plantation.

Our jovial guide Supreme points to a small clearing at the side of the road. “See that?” he asks.

His captive audience of six can clearly see it; there’s nowhere else for us to look.

“That’s where they filmed the T-Rex attack in Jurassic Park!”

Jurassic Park acted as a kind of Trojan horse when it was released back in 1993.

Although the film is set in Costa Rica, Spielberg filmed much of the action on Kauai, showcasing to the world another side of the Aloha State. Many films have been shot here since, but none cast Kauai as a character quite as successfully.

“But don’t worry,” Supreme adds. “They took all the dinosaurs home with them.”

A pause. “Jokes!”

So prehistorically convincing were the film’s locales that it may as well have been the Jurassic, let alone Costa Rica. Let alone Kauai, Hawaii’s fourth largest island.

Or as our guide says, it’s the rainiest place on earth. “The ocean is of course the wettest place. Jokes!”

Fair point. Although in Hawaii, the ocean is never too far away.

Kauai’s symbiosis with water has brought it as many misfortunes as benefits. The Hawaiian islands were unknown to the western world when Captain Cook and his posse landed at Waimea, on the south coast

of Kauai, in 1778. Even today, the inlet where Cook landed, on the town’s outskirts, looks like a mouth wide open in a silent scream. If Cook heard it, it didn’t slow him down – he just sailed right in. The locals, too, would have had no idea what lay ahead of them as they drifted down the inlet to meet history head on. The relationship the Hawaiians would forge with Cook would be volatile, and end in death and decimation on both sides.

Supreme lays out for us the history of the plantation while we gear up. Here, the stream flows down the side of the mountain through a series of disused canals originally built as infrastructure for harvesting sugar cane.

The practicality of inner tubes isn’t readily apparent, but back in those sweeter days, tubes made it easier for the workers to get downstream in a way that relied on gravity, not power.

I’m lowered into the tube, which looks large enough to suspend me above the chilly water, but looks are deceiving.

I can’t help it. “Oh, so cold!”

After a Supreme splashing, my tube catches the current and soon I’m off downstream. It’s hardly the white-knuckle

experience I expected, despite the occasional collision with a wall or another tuber.

Gradually, I fall behind the group. A unique serenity quickly envelops me as I’m carried along the island’s aquatic veins, and my mind suddenly isn’t so preoccupied with the cold, or the rain, or even the destination.

Up ahead, my fellow tubers are capturing the moment, posing for the tour company’s photographers and wielding selfie sticks.

Supreme says something about a tunnel coming up. I only catch the end of it – “Jokes!” – because my mind hasn’t caught up with them. Instead it’s here, unhurried, spin-drifting down this stream into oblivion.

There’s no moment to be captured.

TRAVEL

SIMPLY ENCHANTING Take a trip to Brisbane city and enter a magical realm of light and colour.

WORDS: Candice Holznagel

A

s we shuffled forward with the thousand-strong crowd, I hoped that battling this throng of people would be worth the trouble. Within minutes, I was reassured that we had made the right decision to venture into the Roma Street Parkland in the height of the busy Christmas period.

As the crowd dispersed into the open space, I gasped in awe at the sight before us – thousands of twinkling lights dotted the gardens as far as the eye could see. I turned to my husband: “So this is why it’s called The Enchanted Garden.”

Our young son marvelled at the delight before him – towering trees glittering purple and red, gardens sparkling with golden lights.

We followed the path as it wound through this magical wonderland, under weeping figs, through a rainbow-coloured rainforest and past moody-lit waterfalls straight from the pages of a fairytale.

The gentle walk is easy for both the young and old and finishes at the base of the parkland’s open green space that overlooks a majestic and glowing water feature.

As we settled into the soft grass, keen to enjoy the plethora of food trucks that encircled the space, we acknowledged that a visit to The Enchanted Garden was the perfect way to kick off our much-needed pre-Christmas weekend city escape. But, if you want to experience the delight for yourself, you will need to be quick as the show closes on December 19.

Of course, there is plenty more to do in Brisbane city ahead of the holidays. As we left the parkland, we headed on foot towards the

expansive King George Square. Here, we sat among dozens of other families to take in the narrative show that lights up the majestic City Hall building every evening until Christmas Day. As we made our way back to our neighbouring hotel, we vowed to make the trek back next year to make this magical night a new family tradition.

IF YOU GO: STAYING THERE Soaring 74 levels above the city, the Meriton Suites on Herschel Street offers apartments ranging from studios to three bedrooms. It features an indoor pool and outdoor green space. Visit meritonsuites.com.au.

EATING THERE Jimmy’s on the Mall is a Brisbane institution.

Launched in 1982, the renovated two-storey restaurant sits in Queen Street mall and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our tip? Try the crispy skin chicken. Another favourite is Café Mondial, located on Albert Street. Sipping on a glass of wine while seated in the pretty alfresco area is reminiscent of dining in France.

CHRISTMAS EVENTS The Enchanted Garden at Roma Street Parkland is on until December 19 and entry is free. It’s open from 6.30pm to 10pm nightly. If you don’t have the chance to get away, there are plenty of Christmas events happening here on the Sunshine Coast.

MY HEALTH

PALEO DIET LINKED TO HEART DISEASE Eating more red meat under the Paleo diet paired with a lack of whole grains results in higher levels of a biomarker linked to heart disease, new research suggests.

In the world-first study, researchers compared the gut health of 44 people on the Paleo diet with that of 47 people on a traditional Australian diet.

28 My Weekly Preview | December 14, 2018

28.indd 1

The Paleo diet involves eating meat, vegetables, nuts and limited fruit, while excluding grains, legumes, dairy, salt, refined sugar and processed oils.

Researchers at Perth’s Edith Cowan University measured blood levels of trimethylamine-n-oxide (TMAO), an organic compound produced in the gut, and found more than twice the amount in those on the Paleo diet.

High levels of TMAO has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Head researcher Angela Genoni says the findings question the gut health benefits of the diet.

“The Paleo diet excludes all grains and we know that whole grains are a fantastic source of resistant starch, and many other fermentable fibres which are vital to the health of your gut microbiome,” Dr Genoni says.

“Because TMAO is produced in the gut, a lack of whole grains might change the populations of bacteria enough to enable higher production of this compound.

“Additionally, the Paleo diet includes greater servings per day of red meat, which provides the precursor compounds to produce TMAO.” Dr Genoni will presented the findings at the Nutrition Society of Australia conference recently.

QLD RESEARCHERS DEVELOP ‘HOLY GRAIL’ CANCER TEST Queensland scientists have developed a test they hope could be ‘the holy grail’ for diagnosing cancer.

The test has been developed by University of Queensland researchers who have discovered a unique DNA nanostructure that appears to be common to all cancers.

Researcher Professor Matt Trau says this has enabled an entirely new non-invasive approach to detect cancer in any tissue type including blood, and led to the creation of inexpensive and portable detection devices.

These could eventually be used as a diagnostic tool, possibly with a mobile phone,, he says. p y

DID YOU

know?

“We certainly don’t know yet whether it’s the holy grail for all cancer diagnostics, but it looks really interesting,” Prof Trau says. “(And it could become) an incredibly simple universal marker of cancer … that doesn’t require complicated lab-based equipment.”

The new technology has proved to be up to 90 per cent accurate in tests involving 200 human cancer samples and normal DNA. Researchers are now working to further develop the technology, and licence it with a commercial partner. The study is published in the journal Nature Communications.

Being ‘Prosecco drunk’ is a thing. The sparkling Italian wine is a budget-friendly substitute for champagne and studies have proven drinking it (and other bubbly wine) gets you intoxicated faster because bubbles help move the alcohol into your stomach and bloodstream quicker. Also, when the bottle is colder, the carbon dioxide bubbles escape more slowly, which means the alcohol passes into your bloodstream faster. So if you’re planning to indulge this Christmas, enjoy a glass of bubbles but pace yourself!

MY OPINION

A SEASON FOR GIVING

HAVE GAMES, WILL TRAVEL

Sami Muirhead reminds Sunshine Coast locals of the incredible work undertaken by our very own SunnyKids.

Think road trips are boring? They aren’t when Richard O’Leary and his family are in the car.

S

unnyKids is changing the lives of local kids who really need help this Christmas. I am a part of their appeal to help 150 families on the Sunshine Coast.

I know many of us do not have heaps of spare money at Christmas. But trust me, there are thousands of kids doing it way tougher than you and I are doing it. Some kids live with parents who are ice addicts.

Some kids cannot afford lunch. Others do not have any positive role models in their lives. More still do not know if there will be any money for food on the table tomorrow.

Enter the Santa 600 for SunnyKids campaign. We are hoping to support 150 local families this Christmas and right through next year. Right now there are kids who do not feel safe and who do not know where they will sleep tonight. That is outrageous.

The idea behind the campaign is to find 150 local businesses or families who will donate $600 for the year to help one family.

The amount is tax deductible. This works out to be $1.64 per day or $50 per month. It is a small amount really when you think of the dire situation so many of our kids are in.

Mayor Mark Jamieson is the patron of SunnyKids and says, “If it takes a village to raise a child, then SunnyKids is certainly an important mainstay in our village. The vision is a society in which everyone feels safe, belongs and has a chance to reach their full potential – and I am sure it is one that

“W

resonates strongly with many people.”

The annual SunnyKids report from 2017/2018 shows 755 kids were supported on the Coast in the past financial year.

Those children received financial and emergency relief, counselling, parenting and mentoring courses, substance misuse counselling, and social and community housing assistance. Also on the list were medical support, immigration advice, legal advice, mental health support, sexual assault counselling and kids wellbeing programs.

SunnyKids helps kids aged up to 12 years and offers around-the-clock support.

It gives 8000 overnight stays per year for women and children who are homeless due to family and domestic violence.

Former Bronco and SunnyKids ambassador Jack Reed is a mentor at four schools. “We work with 10 disengaged kids who don’t want to turn up to school and we try and run sports-based activities while trying to give them the important messages about their health and the person they want to be,” Jack says. “The kids seem to open up to us… the first few days they don’t want a piece of you but that all changes once they realise we are here to just help them.”

You can find links on the SunnyKids or Mix FM websites if you would like to help another family at this time of year.

Have a wonderful Christmas – it really can be the best time of the year. The trouble is, it can also be the worst.

hat is Australia’s largest living orgasm?” It was an unexpected question from my mother for the start of our trivia game in the car – especially for my eight and 10-year-old boys.

Earlier in the day my mother had been telling me about a great anti-fatigue driving campaign which she’d seen while travelling with Dad in another part of Queensland.

It included trivia questions on signposts, with the answers provided a few kilometres down the track.

For example, one of the signs asked what was Queensland’s highest mountain, and a couple of minutes later there was the answer: Mount Bartle Frere.

Because of this I knew the question my mother was trying to ask, and the answer, but who was I to spoil the fun?

The pregnant pause following Mum’s question gave her enough time to recover and she tried again.

“What is Australia’s largest living (she paused to make sure she got it right) orgasm.”

By this stage I was struggling to breathe, as Dad and I tried to keep it together and my boys scrunched their faces in deep thought, searching for the answer.

“You say it,” my mum said.

With Christmas around the corner I took pity on her. “What is Australia’s largest living organism?” I said.

Sami Muirhead is a radio announcer, blogger and commentator.

For more from Sami tune into Mix FM.

“The Great Barrier Reef,” my youngest yelled out.

“I guess that’s why they call it Great,” I said. My mother told me to shut up and keep driving.

And that’s what I love about this time of year – road trips and everything that goes with them including the music, the mind games, the mayhem.

Even those interminable games of Who Am I when one of your sons goes with platypus and the other opts for an actor he

“My mother told me to shut up and keep driving” doesn’t know the name of but who appeared in Pixels.

Helpful hint: if you ever play my family in this game and what to have a fighting chance every turn, guess Ed Sheeran, or spider-pig from The Simpsons Movie.

“Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig, Does what a Spider-Pig does.

Can he swing from a web?

No, he can’t, he’s a pig.

Look out, he is a Spider-Pig.” Enjoy your road trip and remember if you are starting to feel fatigued, start asking each other some trivia questions – especially if your mum is in the car.

Richard O’Leary is a journalist, a political adviser and a father who knows there’s a deeper meaning to life, but struggles to find it.

THE MISSING LINK IN YOUR PORTFOLIO

S

underpins the share price to a certain extent. On the other hand, SeaLink is also seeking acquisitions that enhance its current capabilities and growth strategies.

We consider SeaLink an appropriate stock to consider in the current environment where the market is de-rating the high price-earnings ratio so-called growth stocks, particularly those that are consumer-facing. SeaLink has been a recent outperformer given its earnings are likely to remain relatively defensive with around 50 per cent of the group total derived from transport as opposed to tourism.

Ord Minnett is not suggesting the company is immune to weakness in domestic or inbound travel, such as the Sydney business is experiencing at present, and we have adjusted our earnings slightly lower to reflect this fact. Despite this, we consider SeaLink represents value at current levels and expect recent outperformance to continue.

GOOD LEADERSHIP The Institute of Managers and Leaders (IML) has announced the appointment of five new local members to the Sunshine Regional Advisory Committee. New committee members Tanya O’Shea, Sean Cawley, Justin Lippiatt and Peter Diezman join existing members Sally Desch, Wayne Graham, Peter Gibson, Emma Skea-Green and Sophie Graham to lead the Institute’s vision and strategy in the region. Each of them bring a wealth of business, financial, leadership and entrepreneurial capability. Newly appointed committee member and chair Kym Cousins (pictured with Tim Robson) says IML has supported her in her leadership journey and she looks forward to “paying it forward”.

Thirty members were also invited to receive their certificate of tenure at the final meeting of the year, with seven celebrating more than 30 years of membership. IML is a community of like-minded professionals, who share a common desire to lift the benchmark of Australian management and leadership.

THE

eaLink Travel Group (SLK) is a diversified tourism and transport business in Australia, providing commuter and freight transport, as well as servicing the tourism industry. The company operates under two brands – SeaLink and Captain Cook Cruises.

Ord Minnett was involved with the float of the company back in 2013 and has followed it closely ever since.

The stock has performed well, rising from the IPO price of $1.10 to around $4.27 at present, and has also paid reasonable dividends along the way.

Post the recent AGM we have revisited our investment thesis and make the following observations: • Sydney visitor market – There has been a recent short-term downturn in

international visitor arrivals to Sydney but we think this is simply a near-term correction in a longer-term structural uptrend. That said, we have halved our expectations for the Sydney Harbourbased Captain Cook Cruises division.

SeaLink is bidding on the Sydney Ferries business that is up for tender, but we have not incorporated any upside from this into our forecasts.

• The Fraser Island acquisition appears on track – The company recently acquired the Kingfisher Bay and Eurong resorts and stated that the earnings so far are in line with original guidance.

• Queensland/Northern Territory businesses appear to have bottomed – Ord Minnett now expects the North Stradbroke business to deliver strong growth.

• Lower tax rate in FY19 and beyond – The company now expects a lower effective tax rate as a result of industry incentives.

• Mergers and acquisitions angle looks interesting from both sides – In May, the SeaLink board received an unsolicited, confidential, indicative and non-binding proposal from a third party that wanted to take over the company for $4.75 per share in cash. The board rejected the proposal as undervaluing the company.

In our view, such corporate interest

99 AIRCRAFT GROUNDED Queensland Air Museum recently acquired its 99th historically significant aircraft, a Macchi Trainer operated by the RAAF from 1971 and delivered to QAM in early October. This acquisition follows on quickly after the Orion P-3, which rests at the Sunshine Coast Airport pending disassembly, transport to Caloundra, and reassembly – a huge challenge for the a 60-tonne aircraft with a 30-metre-long wingspan. There has been a lot going on at QAM recently with acquisitions and restoration works, and with 99 historic aircraft and many other displays, the Pathfinder Drive venue in Caloundra is the spot to spend several memorable hours these school holidays. The next big event at the QAM is the Passenger Aircraft Display day on January 12, which will feature the

DC-3, Fokker F27, Dove and a special display of the first four Qantas aircraft in model form.

Operating since 1979, Thrill Hill has built a reputation as the place to have a fun day out.

APP OF THE WEEK

FIND AN EXERCISE BUDDY If you find exercise boring, a new app designed by appreneur Silvia Wulf might be just what you are looking for. Ms Wulf developed Physeek to help people connect with exercise buddies. It is also a great safety tool for people who don’t want to exercise alone at night, later in the day or in remote areas because they worry about their safety. “I have solved this problem for everyone. I have created an app that not only connects people to undertake activities with, it also enables users to let everyone know where they are, who they are with and what they are doing - so that if anything should happen or go wrong, everyone is alerted,” Ms Wulf says.

Physeek is available to download free from Google Play, iTunes or physeek.com.au.

ELON MUSK’S BATTERY A HIT IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA It took less than 100 days to build a giant battery in South Australia and now, one year on, its operators have declared they’re ready to take the technology nationwide.

A report by engineering company Aurecon found the world’s largest lithium-ion battery built by tech billionaire Elon Musk in South Australia’s mid-north has exceeded expectations since operation began a year ago.

Owner and operator Neoen says the Jamestown battery is providing security and stability across the energy network.

“We are ready to answer the call and do more not only in South Australia but in other states,” chief executive Xavier Barbaro said at the battery’s one-year anniversary celebration in Sydney.

The 100-megawatt battery represents a possible solution to one of Australia’s most pressing problems: the end of life for many large-scale thermal generators across the country.

years, they are now in their element. “The band has never been better; we are the tightest and most creative we have ever been and we also have the best chemistry, and that is so important in a band.

“It’s been a bloody long, hard road but the persistence is paying off.”

The Superjesus have been travelling the country with their Sumo 20th Anniversary tour and earlier this year, Ms McLeod

BETTER THAN EVER The Superjesus are pumped to be performing on the Coast as part of Under the Southern Stars. WORDS: Roxanne McCarty-O’Kane.

I

t has been more than a decade since The Superjesus performed on the Sunshine Coast and frontwoman Sarah McLeod and bass guitarist Stuart Rudd are pumped to be lighting up the stage at Under the Southern Stars early next year.

The Superjesus will be joining Sheppard, Hoodoo Gurus, You Am I, British India, The Getaway Plan and Scott Darlow in a stellar line-up of Australian music royalty at the Sunshine Coast Stadium on January 20.

The all-ages event will be the first time since 1996 that The Superjesus will smash out a set in the region and Ms McLeod says what they have put together “will be epic.”

“We are taking the best bits from our two-hour show and condensing it into a one-hour hit list and we cannot wait,” she says.

“I’m looking forward to catching some sunshine. We rockers live by night and are too pale, but like plants we need sunshine to survive.”

This means fans will get to rock out to everything from their hit singles Down Again and Gravity through to more recent releases from their 2016 album Love and Violence.

Ms McLeod says although the band has had its fair share of line-up changes over the

“We are taking the best bits from our two-hour show and condensing it into a one-hour hit list” dabbled in musical theatre by taking up the role of St Jimmy in American Idiot to rave reviews when it was showing in Brisbane.

“It was the most fabulous experience of my life. I’ve been dying to do some acting and would do it again in a heartbeat. It was quite thrilling actually,” she says.

“I adore the theatre. I love the aspect of playing a role to a live audience. I love the

routine of it, I love the discipline of it, I love the fear that one wrong move can bring the entire production down. It’s so much harder than being in band – if I make a mistake I can’t expect 20 other actors to just roll with it. You literally cannot make a mistake and if you do, you have to cover it quickly without throwing the other actors off. The pressure is right on.”

Ms McLeod says The Superjesus’ show at Under The Southern Stars will be the “best you’ve ever seen” and the band plans to harness this newfound chemistry to see “what will unfold.”

“We are looking at writing new material,” Mr Rudd adds. “Some things already have been recorded in crude fashion and when we have some downtime, we will progress into the studio.

“Who knows what the future will hold?” Ms McLeod says. “I don’t really make plans, plans make me, and I am just as surprised about the twists and turns as everyone else is.”

Tickets for Under The Southern Stars are available now and all tickets purchased through Ticketmaster before December 31 will go into the draw to win an electric guitar signed by artists appearing on the 2019 line-up.

HOMEWARD BOUND

FAMILY FRIENDLY

My Weekly Preview catches up with singer-songwriter Ziggy Alberts ahead of his Sunshine Coast gig.

Tell us about your inspiration for Laps Around the Sun – where do you draw your passion and inspiration from? My songwriting is inspired by the adventures and travelling I’ve done over the years. Not actually from all the pretty, easy times, but from the challenges. Being a musician touring the world can be quite challenging, but it creates a lot of resilience and great perspective. This album tells a story which explores relationships – with the environment, your loved ones and yourself.

How old were you when you began singing and writing? I picked up a guitar in 2011. I had no plans to be a musician, but was already pursuing writing heavily, so it just came together really naturally.

S

inger-songwriter Ziggy Alberts is coming home to the Sunshine Coast and is set to take to the stage at Venue 114 tonight, January 14.

The sold-out gig forms part of his Laps Around The Sun world tour, which will take him around the globe visiting Europe, North America, South Africa and South America.

This new album is Mr Alberts’ fifth.

What have you been up to lately? I’ve been rehearsing for my world tour and trying to spend as much time in the ocean as I can.

What can Sunny Coasters expect from your upcoming Venue 114 concert? I haven’t actually played this venue before, but I checked it out and it’s a beautiful setting.

I’m personally looking forward to all the sing-a-longs from my new album.

What message do you hope to portray to the audience through your work? My foremost goal is to be honest in my writing and make sure the songs have a real message, have feeling, and mean something to me. I hope for people to be able to draw their own messages out of my work too.

The Lifepointe Baptist Church is once again going to deck the halls for its annual Christmas showcase. The free community event allows families to come through the church and experience the joy of Christmas with an animal farm, kids area, markets, food court and spectacular Christmas lights display as well as a free musical production.

The event runs from December 15 to 23 from 6pm to 9pm each night. For more Christmas events and activities, check out the My Christmas publication on myweeklypreview.com.au.

SHOUT

out!

At its core, the Pete Allan Collective shares the same heart and soul as Mr Allan’s trademark solo sound of coastal roots rock.

But the addition of Daniel Seese on drums and Josiah Chapman on the keys has allowed for new and exciting sonic elements that have taken the talented songwriter’s music to the next level.

Moody and smooth, the single Summer Holiday is the first taste of the new band.

The band create a perfect musical backdrop that is equal parts silky smooth and smoky, meeting at the perfect intersection of mellow grooves, ambient guitars and heartfelt vocals.

The pictures are bright and colourful and full of interesting drawings. I think all kids would enjoy reading this fun book. It is a good bedtime book.

From the publisher: First published in 1997 and now reissued, Ten Terrible Dinosaurs is a lively counting picture book based on the characters from Paul Stickland’s modern classic Dinosaur Roar.

The rhyming text of this book encourages children to join in, helping them to learn their numbers as they count down from 10 through to one, ending with a loud roar!

ZHAJIANGMIAN (FRIED NOODLES) Translating literally as ‘fried sauce noodle’, this classic home-style dish is popular with peasants and nobility alike. With thick fresh wheat noodles, pork and bean sauce, it’s kind of like a Beijing bolognese.

recipe AAP

METHOD Heat a wok over high heat and add the oil. When hot, add the white part of the spring onions, garlic and ginger and fry for one minute or until fragrant. Add the pork mince and fry until lightly browned. Add the bean sauce and stock and stir to combine. Simmer for five minutes or until thickened and saucy.

Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the manufacturer’s directions. Drain well and divide between bowls. Top the noodles with a small amount of the meat sauce and top with the julienned cucumbers and a sprinkle of green spring onion.

This recipe serves four.

INGREDIENTS • 2 tbsp vegetable oil • 2 large spring onions, finely sliced, white and green parts separated • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped • 1 tsp grated ginger • 300g pork mince • 125ml tian mian jiang (sweet bean sauce, sometimes called brown bean sauce) • 250ml chicken stock • 1kg fresh thick wheat noodles • 2 Lebanese cucumbers, seeds removed and julienned

Expect an exciting whirlwind week as you spend the first few days celebrating the festive season with lively Leo sparkle and shine.

Artistic pursuits and travel are also highlighted, as Uranus stirs the restless and creative cat within.

This week, Mercury joins up with Jupiter, which stimulates your versatile creativity and voracious Virgo curiosity. But stop stressing and micro-managing everything! A flexible and philosophical approach brings rewards at work.

Monday is the best day to roll up your sleeves and tackle overdue tasks at home or work. On Friday, Neptune blesses creative projects, a romance blossoms, or your intuition helps you find a welcome solution to an annoying problem.

Confidence and chutzpah are the secrets to having a fabulous festive season – personally, romantically, and financially. Venus is visiting your sign, so it’s a week when love, listening, charm, and cooperation will take you far.

It’s a wonderful week to learn something new or escape to somewhere off the beaten track. For some lucky Sagittarians, love and lust are on the menu on the weekend, when the full moon steams up your sensuality zone.

Conscientious Capricorns love Christmas preparations to run efficiently and smoothly. But, there’s unpredictable full moon energy about, so why not drop the perfectly planned schedule and take things as they come?

It’s all about friendships and social networking this week, as you catch up with local mates, enjoy corresponding with international connections, or share a special dream with a like-minded soul.

This week’s pre-Christmas stars are all about loving, learning, helping, and healing. It’s a rewarding time to be of service to others as you lend a hand to someone in need or help to heal a rift between friends.

PROPERTY

A SLICE OF LOCAL HISTORY This Tanawha Road restaurant and home is ready for new owners to take it into another century.

T

he property that houses an iconic restaurant with an almost centuryold history is on the market.

The Packing Shed was built in 1919 on Tanawha Road and became the heart of 11 banana farms from the late 1920s, when it was used by all of the

surrounding farms to prepare cases of bananas ready for transportation via bullock wagon up to the Buderim tramway, where they were transferred to trains to go to Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

The then 20-acre farms were further subdivided into roughly one-acre properties

in the 1970s, and The Packing Shed Restaurant and Bar was created in 1984, becoming a popular venue for live music and great food.

It has undergone a few name changes over the years, being known as Patrice Gardens and Platters, but it hasn’t

functioned now for a number of years.

The charming restaurant has a seating capacity of 80 including alfresco dining, plus pitched ceilings, aged timber floors, a pot-belly stove, leadlight windows plus a bar and commercial kitchen.

With a lick of paint and a little bit of love, this restaurant will be restored to its former glory and an ode to its heritage as the original packing shed for surrounding banana farms in the early 1900s.

Next year, The Packing Shed will turn 100 years – quite the milestone for new owners who could have it fully operational by then.

Listing agents Glennis Schindler and Carlie Penn of McGrath Estate Agents Mooloolaba have been busy fielding enquiries about the unique property, which also contains a quaint 1950s home.

Ms Schindler says for those wanting an acreage retreat to call home, the main house oozes potential with timber floorboards, pitched-ceiling sunrooms and three bedrooms.

Located in a sought-after area, the 2.5-acre property offers the chance to simply enjoy private acreage living or to take a bold step and reinvigorate The Packing Shed as a restaurant or wedding venue.

NORTH SHORE REALTY IN-ROOM AUCTION EVENT It was standing room only at the North Shore Realty in-room auction event last Thursday with 109 people in attendance to see a record 15 properties taken to market.

There was competitive bidding, properties sold prior and buyers with signed offers waiting in the wings hoping the property they wanted would be passed in.

“It’s really a case of activity creating more activity,’’ said business partner Keith Blanchard.

“Our auction events create a lot of buyer interest and inquiry for our sellers, particularly when you have 15 properties all going up for sale at the same time, and this is key to getting the best results.”

North Shore Realty’s next in-room event is scheduled for February 7.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

What does summer mean to you? Hot sun, barbecues, beach towels and wearing thongs. Here is the best tip I can give you for summer.

Saturday morning the biggest thong sale you can imagine happens in Grigor Street, Moffat Beach. Classic top quality thongs all for only $5 a pair.

It has become a tradition.

Get yourself down to Soul Thongs and shout me a beer later.

Pipeline has started so here is the perfect ending. Julian wins world title and Parko wins triple crown. SNAP! I did hear that Noosa had fun waves last weekend with small crowds. All roads sadly lead to Happy Valley this weekend – land of the stand ups.

Merry Christmas peeps!

a beautiful place to live

The first, new home build has begun within our latest land release, Bedarra. Over the coming weeks more will follow. This time next year these homes will be well established and enjoying Bedarra’s wonderful, easterly aspect over the lake.

We cannot wait to see our families realise their ‘new home’ dream at Sunshine Cove.

It’s not too late for you to join them. There are a just a few stunning, direct waterfront homesites still available within Bedarra, along with a handful of beautiful terrace homesites. But just a few.

Why not drop by and let us take you for a tour around Bedarra.

You won’t be disappointed.
