THE FIRST WORD

Win

Broadway’s best party is turning up the volume, when Mad About Theatre hits The Events Centre, Caloundra.

Musical Rock of Ages captures the iconic era that was the big bad 1980s Hollywood. Know What Love Is, Feel the Noise and Take Your Best Shot – all of the greatest hits take over one of the Sunset Strip’s last epic venues. And, you can experience the magic. We have one double pass to give away to the October 4 7.30pm show in Caloundra.

FROM THE EDITOR

T

he fashion-forward New Yorker Carrie Bradshaw once said, “shopping is my cardio”. Sure, she may have been a fictional character, but I am on board with the sentiment. I’m a bricks-and-mortar type of shopper.

I prefer to spend time browsing stores, trying on clothes, chatting with the staff, stopping for tea and cake. Bliss!

I grew up in a small town where people still prefer to pop into town – local people supporting local business, and I love it. My parents owned a few small businesses and I learnt from a young age about community spirit and the importance of supporting each other. It keeps money local and provides jobs.

I have a few favourite shopping haunts here on the Sunshine Coast, one being Caloundra’s CBD. I love the village vibe of Bulcock Street. There is a great mix of retail and cafes, and shopping there is always a rewarding experience.

This is one of the reasons that My Weekly Preview is supporting the Downtown Caloundra night shopping event. In a first for the retailers, select stores in Bulcock Street from Minchinton Street through to Knox Street and surrounding laneways will remain open from 4.30pm to 7.30pm on September 26. There will be specials and giveaways, so don’t miss out! For more, you can read our story on page 24.

This week, we have plenty more on offer from our holiday fun guide to travel, news, commercial property, food and fashion. Enjoy.

JK Rowling has donated $27.5 million to support research into the treatment of multiple sclerosis and similar conditions at a centre named after her late mother.

The Harry Potter author’s investment will also be used to help create new facilities at the University of Edinburgh’s Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic.

It was set up following a previous donation from Rowling in 2010 and is named in memory of her mother, who died with the condition at the age of 45.

“When the Anne Rowling Clinic was first founded, none of us could have predicted the incredible progress that would be made in the field of regenerative neurology, with the clinic leading the charge,” Rowling told reporters.

“I am delighted to now support the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic into a new phase of discovery and achievement as it realises its ambition to create a legacy of better outcomes for generations of people with MS and non-MS neurodegenerative diseases.”

COVER STORY

3. Daisy´s Place GLENVIEW

spring s e t s a t If, like us, you’ve been hibernating through winter, now is the time to peel off the heavy layers and soak in a little sun. And there’s no better way to do that than over a long lunch with friends and family at one of the Sunshine Coast’s stylish and contemporary eateries. With spring comes renewed inspiration driven by our plethora of fresh local produce.

It really is the ideal time to discover why the region has secured a spot on Queensland’s coveted foodie map.

Here’s our suggested alfresco dining trail, featuring some of the Sunshine Coast’s best spring-inspired venues.

Stepping into Daisy’s Place is like entering another world – a world of tranquillity and relaxation. Lush plants create a beautiful background, while water features bring another natural element to the setting. This quaint restaurant has become a Sunshine Coast icon thanks to its long history which stems back to 1923. Founded by Emma ‘Daisy’ Johnson and her husband Samuel Dorrington Johnson, the restaurant was known for dishing up homemade pies and tea to holidaymakers and Coast residents alike. Today, Daisy’s Place is owned by Sue Joseph and has undergone a renovation. The seasonal menu offers contemporary fare, which can be enjoyed on the terrace.

daisysplace.com.au, open Wednesday to Sunday from 7.30am.

1. Flaxton Gardens

2. Th e Long Apron at Spicers Clovelly Estate

We never tire of visiting this beautiful manor, which is perched atop a hinterland escarpment. There is something pretty special about sitting in the sunshine, sipping on a glass of champagne while taking in the million-dollar views over the rolling green hills and to the coastline beyond. The venue’s signature Vineyard Restaurant offers alfresco dining overlooking the landscaped gardens, and intimate dining on the colonial verandah – both beautiful settings. The team of chefs use the abundant fresh produce that grows on their doorstep to dish up modern Australian culinary fare.

LIVE IN LUXURY: Phone ahead to secure one of Flaxton Gardens’ famous high teas, which are served on the terrace or in the gardens. We like the luxury menu, which includes a glass of brut or wine, followed by your choice of tea or coffee and a bonbonniere of chocolates. The divine offering of savoury and sweet treats will have you dreaming for days of warm, fluffy scones lathered with rich strawberry jam and fresh cream, decadent chocolate treats and finger sandwiches fit for royalty.

A celebrated destination for foodies, award-winning The Long Apron is the product of experienced chef Chris Hagan.

OUR TIP: Pull up a chair in the tranquil gardens and enjoy a charcuterie platter and glass of champagne with a group of friends.

COVER STORY

Chef Damien Grimes has been cooking up a storm for 25 years and has become a recognisable foodie here on the Sunshine Coast. The Sunshine Coast Hotels group executive chef loves cooking with fresh, local produce – a trait he

passes on to his staff. “Coming from a small country town, the product was all local and of great quality, which is something that I didn’t realise then, but has greatly influenced how I approach food now,’’ he says.

The group’s Caloundra offering is a great place to enjoy a spring afternoon. The grassed area of The Yard Bar is fitted with shaded picnic tables, plenty of space for the kids to run around, and a purpose-built timber bar.

Parklands offers indoor and outdoor dining and the menu boasts five-star pub food including all the traditional faves, as well as contemporary salads, mains and pizzas.

DON’T MISS IT: Parklands Tavern is holding a Melbourne Cup Garden Party on Tuesday, November 5. Tickets are $30 and include a champagne cocktail on arrival, canapes in The Yard, live coverage of the race, music, sweepstakes and prizes for the best dressed. Bookings essential.

IMAGE: PABLO PAVLOVICH AND NINE SQUARES MEDIA

Easily one of the Sunshine Coast’s most popular alfresco locations, this pretty restaurant and bar is a must for your spring hit list. Decked out in stylish blue and white interiors, you could be forgiven for thinking you’ve stepped into the ultra-fab world of the Hamptons. Nestled alongside the marina, Pier 33 has both inside and outside dining options, including a lawn area, and you will find yourself happily whiling away the hours in this prime location. The menu is designed to share, which makes the experience all the more intimate and enjoyable.

TRY IT: The perfect spring refresher, the signature Mahalo Mooloolaba cocktail is built on Havana Especial rum blended with pineapple, palm sugar, bitters, mint and citrus.

When The Savvy Squire opened its doors at The Wharf Mooloolaba last month, it became the latest offering from Australia’s oldest brewer, James Squire. Created in partnership with Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group, the venue caters to the growing love of craft beer with modern pub food that not only celebrates the region’s produce, but is crafted to pair with the alcoholic range. Head out to the deck to soak in the sun and water views, or settle into the front beer garden.

• 10g diced dried apricots • 10g diced dried figs • 10g sultana • 2ml lemon juice • 5g pinenuts • Pinch sumac

METHOD Start by putting a cooling rack in a tray and putting a cheese cloth over the rack. Pour yoghurt over the cheese cloth and leave in the fridge overnight to remove excess liquid. When that is done place in a piping bag for later use.

Cook the couscous in boiling water with salt and oil for 10 minutes. Strain and cool.

Dice the red capsicum and zucchini and lay on a tray. Coat with oil and salt and roast for 12 minutes at 180 degrees. Cool when fully cooked.

Dice the dried apricots and figs and place to one side.

Mix all dry ingredients except the sumac in a mixing bowl.

Add oil, lemon juice and salt and mix again.

Serve the couscous mix in a bowl. Pipe the hung yoghurt into dots on top of the couscous and sprinkle sumac over the top.

HISTORY

GRAND PLANS The late 1980s are remembered as a time of excess, and there were plenty of big dreams for the Sunshine Coast. For most, though, the bubble burst before they got off the ground. WORDS: Dot Whittington.

The Hyatt Regency Coolum introduced five-star accommodation to the region

I

deas flowed in for everything from a chairlift on Mount Coolum to a restaurant on the rocks at Alexandra Headland and a cruise port for Mooloolaba. The three Sunshine Coast councils were flat out processing development applications and lobby groups mobilised in defence of the natural environment.

These were tumultuous times when the population was predicted to keep growing to – gasp – 250,000 (it’s now close to 350,000).

The Hyatt Coeur de Lion health resort (also known as Hyatt Regency Coolum and the Palmer Coolum Resort) was the biggest development proposal ever to go ahead after it was approved in 1987, and with the Twin Waters resort, represented a new era in accommodation by the turn of the decade.

But for those that made it, many didn’t.

One of the more controversial proposals, which dragged on for almost 18 months before being quashed, was for a chairlift on Mount Coolum. The 14-hectare proposal for crown land included a skylift, restoration of the old quarry and an auditorium with education displays, all with a colonial

village theme, as well as walkways and parking for 600 cars.

The Save Mount Coolum Committee scored a victory and the site was eventually declared environmental park.

Noosa was to be the site of Australia’s first Club Med resort in an ambitious plan for the Noosa Spit, supported by Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen.

Noosa Shire chairman Bert Wansley said most people were against losing public land.

The crown land was divided into the Spit controlled by council and Noosa Peninsula by the State Government. After vigorous debate, the plan was shelved.

Even more controversial was a proposal for a Noosa River bridge and Leisuremark’s massive proposal to create a virtual satellite city on the North Shore. This was a project so big, it is a story in itself. Rothwells Bank was also interested in building the bridge, that is before it collapsed in November 1988.

The Noosa Summit proposal for a restaurant and tourist attraction at Laguna Lookout was to have a walkthrough aviary, aquarium, observatory and tram track linking the carpark and restaurant at the

lookout. There would be a theatre “similar to Dreamworld’s Imax” to screen local scenes and rival the Big Pineapple for a share of the overseas tourist market. It never did.

Sunshine Plantation had its own plans for an upmarket rural resort to be built on the opposite side of the Bruce Highway. The overhead walkway to the carpark went ahead but the two-storey rural resort “of a type not yet seen in Australia” was never seen.

Eumundi was going to be the setting for Queensland’s answer to the Dandenong Ranges’ Puffing Billy when the owners of the Imperial Hotel sought to acquire the old Eumundi-Cooroy rail line on completion of the deviation. The pub got its micro-brewery, but the steam train plan went off the rails.

Horton Park Golf Club was keen to see a $25 million cable water ski park and resort on its land at Sugar Road. Look how that turned out.

In Nambour, the $13 million Centenary Square become the town’s biggest ever civil construction project, but a $11.1 million meat and grain processing plant at Yandina industrial estate was given the chop, amid fears the smell from the abattoir would not sit well with visitors to the Ginger Factory.

A $28 million tourist village and fauna park was to replace the Uniting Church camp and conference centre at Alexandra Headland by the end of 1988. An overhead footbridge was to link the village with the beach near the surf club.

That didn’t quite go to plan either and an adventurous idea to build a restaurant on the rocks under Alexandra Headland went the same way.

Landsborough Shire, which became Caloundra City in 1987, was a little more conservative. It welcomed the arrival of the Ettamogah Pub, and Carousel Fair shopping centre in Bulcock Street and always had plenty happening at Kawana.

Sheraton Noosa, The Wharf Mooloolaba, Maroochy River Holiday Resort at Bli Bli and Catalina towers at Maroochydore all went ahead but alas, grand plans for public projects were not quite so successful.

The $61 million coastal rail deviation proposed in the 1980s still hasn’t got on track, and the offshore berthing facility at Mooloolaba was a no-show. On the bright side, Baroon Pocket Dam opened in 1989, and was declared a gushing success.

By 1990, the mad speculative rush was all but over. Big spenders such as Christopher Skase and Alan Bond were tumbling, and Queensland had its first Labor Government in more than three decades.

TEACH THE KIDS TO FISH

Parklands Boulevard in Meridan Plains will soon undergo a significant transformation. With stage one of the project now complete, stage two road widening works will begin mid-September. Sunshine Coast Council division three councillor Peter Cox says the upgrade is expected to be delivered by late-2020. During works there will be temporary changed traffic conditions, which include 40 kilometre-per-hour speed restrictions. Meridan State College school drop-off and pick-up will still be available in the dedicated school carpark areas and school bus and Sunbus services will continue to operate as usual.

The Caloundra Power Boat Club’s (CPBC) Fishing Club Take-A-Kid-Fishing Day is set to give junior anglers another great day to learn about responsible and sustainable recreational fishing.

This year we expect more than 200 – it’s a big day. The goal of the day is to get the community involved in taking their children out to enjoy themselves… it is also about education around the environment and fishing safety,” he says. Head to the CPBC on September 29 to register for the free event from 7am to 9am. Weigh-in closes at 11am, followed by presentations.

LIGHTNING HAVE MUCH TO CELEBRATE

Despite losing the Suncorp Super Netball grand final 64–47 to the New South Wales Swifts, Sunshine Coast Lightning still has plenty to celebrate from its 2019 season. The team won 12 of its 14 fixtures and, for the first time, finished the season as minor premiers. The Lightning remains the only club to have played in every grand final since the Suncorp Super Netball league began in 2017. The University of the Sunshine Coast hosted a community thank you event on Monday to give fans the chance to meet players and coaching staff, collect signatures, and say farewell to the club’s foundation coach Noeline Taurua. As the season comes to an end, the club has announced wing defence and occasional centre Maddy McAuliffe will remain with the Lightning in 2020. Retaining the services of a fifth foundation player reiterates the overall confidence in the Lightning’s elite netball program and culture. Kylee Byrne, who is poised to assume head coach duties next season, is glowing in her endorsement of the skilful midcourter. “Maddy has taken huge steps in her game in the past two years and now with next year locked in she is going to continue to match it with the world’s best centre courts,” she says.

WINTER TURTLE EGGS HAVE HATCHED The first recorded winter nesting for Loggerhead turtles along the east coast of Australia was discovered at Mudjimba Beach in late July and the out-of-season, endangered loggerhead hatchlings were released back to the beach last week. Due to the cold sand temperatures, the 82 eggs were incubated and monitored.

By September 11, more than 70 hatchlings were completely out of their shells. The first batch of nine hatchlings were released out to sea that afternoon. The next batch of 37 turtle hatchlings were deemed ready for release the following day with the rest released in the following days. myweeklypreview.com.au

Melinda Dines & Kim McCosker from 4 Ingredients, with artist Leonie Wohlsen

High tea hits new high The High Tea by the Sea breast cancer fundraiser is back for the third year in a row, and organisers say it will be bigger and better than ever.

H

igh Tea by the Sea is only in its third year, but it is already Australia’s second-largest breast cancer fundraiser. The sell-out event run by Coastline BMW and

4 Ingredients will return next month with a new level of luxury as 600 guests frock up to raise a toast and a tea cup to support breast cancer research and raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).

Guests will enjoy four hours of high tea delicacies, fine French champagnes selected and personally poured by Sunshine Coast wine connoisseur Travis Schultz, live entertainment, survivor stories and information from NBCF researcher Dr Laura Bray.

There are also incredible prizes up for grabs for ticket holders, including a luxury holiday for two to Dubai including return flights and $5000 to spend courtesy of Rogers & Turner Travel Associates and Royal Brunei Airlines.

Those who miss out on tickets to the highly anticipated event on October 20 at the Sunshine Coast Convention Centre can still be in the draw to win a brand-new BMW in an online raffle.

There are only 4000 tickets in this raffle, and Coastline BMW marketing manager Sophie Kurz says 100 per cent of the proceeds will be donated directly to the NBCF. “The new BMW X1 18i is valued at $54,000 and we’ve kept ticket prices the same even though it is a more expensive car because we want everyone to have a chance of winning it. A new BMW would change anyone’s life,” she says.

“BMW is a luxury brand and this has prompted us to add the other luxury trimmings to the day, including the brand-new venue, brand-new styling and themes and new elements of the day.”

Ms Kurz says being recognised as the second-largest fundraiser for the foundation is a great motivator for the team to continue to grow and innovate with the aim of claiming the number one spot.

“The response to the event in the first couple of years was phenomenal, so we knew the event would continue to be successful.

Now we need to keep it fresh and continue to raise the bar or offer something different each year,” she says.

“Because the event has been a runaway success for the last two years, we were able to kick it up a notch again this year and we were so pleased to get confirmation from the NBCF of how large a contributor High Tea by the Sea is to their fundraising efforts.

“It boils down to the people within the Sunshine Coast, who are so generous and willing to give of their time and money to support a worthy cause.”

4 Ingredients founder Kim McCosker says breast cancer affects one in every seven women and it does not discriminate.

To be in with a chance to win the BMW X1, head to raffletix.com.au/?ref=gxp7x.

Tickets are available for $20 each, three for $50 or 10 for $100.

You can also purchase them from popups around the Sunshine Coast throughout September and October. To find locations, head to the High Tea By The Sea 2019 Event Facebook page.

Retailers roll out the red carpet It’s all happening on Caloundra’s new-look Bulcock Street, as retailers open their doors for a special shopping experience.

C

aloundra business owners are rolling out the red carpet to give shoppers a VIP experience unlike anything seen before on the bustling main street.

In a first for Bulcock Street retailers, select businesses on Bulcock Street from Minchinton Street through to Knox Street and surrounding laneways will remain open from 4.30pm to 7.30pm in a special late-

night shopping event on September 26.

Cozie Swimwear owner Selina Smith says a small taste of participating retailers includes Chaps Menswear, Shannon’s Shoes, The Bookshop at Caloundra, Cherylrose Homewares and Gifts, Whitepepper Homewares, Hot Hair Works, Mannequin Lane and her own store, along with many more.

The event – which is a collaboration

SECURE YOUR HOME TODAY AND BEAT THE SUMMER RUSH • We are the leading supplier and installer of welded PROWLER PROOF SECURITY DOORS & WINDOWS

between My Weekly Preview, Downtown Caloundra, Sunshine Coast Council and Caloundra business owners – will be a truly different experience, with concierges decked out in suits and red sashes to assist shoppers with locating the ideal store to visit to find what they are looking for.

“There will be lots of giveaways on the night and the first 50 customers to accumulate a spend of more than $50 in

our participating stores during the three-hour event can take their receipts to the My Weekly Preview stand to claim a gift bag,” Ms Smith says.

“Participating shops have pitched in to create an incredible gift bag and shoppers will have an amazing shopping experience as some of the retailers put on nibbles and champagne in their stores to create a real party atmosphere in stores to complement the live entertainment happening out on the street.”

Ms Smith says the event will give those who have difficulty visiting the popular shopping strip during business hours the chance to support local businesses as well as check out the new streetscape, with council works to upgrade Bulcock Street and surrounds now completed.

“We are very proud of our new-look street and we want to share that with shoppers as well as create a new and vibrant atmosphere in the precinct,” she says.

“This has the potential to become a quarterly event, so we’d love people to come down and show their support and help us to celebrate.”

The special event is on September 26.

TRAVEL

Take a storytelling tour of Hobart

Windows through time Hobart is a city with one foot in the past and another firmly in the future – and there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. Take a historical tour and see another side of Tassie. WORDS: Caroline Berdon, AAP.

I

look through my viewfinder to a crowded patchwork of gravestones leaning in all directions, with gothic, swirly words that chill me: Garden of Sleep.

This is a photo of Tasmania’s first European burial ground, marked out in 1804 in a place of seclusion and beauty away from the main settlement of Hobart.

By the 1870s the cemetery had become

neglected, a depressing wilderness of weeds and toppled headstones. The decision was made to turn it into a public park.

I look up and take in the pretty, sweeping green slopes of St David’s Park. In its centre is a memorial wall made up of the original headstones, storying the existence of so many early settlers of Hobart Town.

Some tall, grand graves remain dotted throughout the park, while the grass looks

bumpy, thanks to rotting tombs deep below of bodies whose families couldn’t afford to move them.

“I don’t think about that during Carols by Candlelight,” says Justin Johnstone, our Master Storyteller at MACq 01, the city’s innovative storytelling hotel that celebrates Tasmania’s past through tours like this.

“In Hobart, it takes us ages to get around to doing anything with old places, so they sit

there for years untouched until someone gets around to reinventing them,” he says.

“But in many cases the history is left exposed, often treasured.”

Take Hunter Street, the emerging culinary strip on the opposite side of the cove to its more famous sibling Salamanca.

The sandstone street is dominated by Henry Jones Art Hotel, which exists in the shell of the 1830s IXL jam factory. Jones worked in the factory as a child, sticking labels on jars for 10 hours a day before he built IXL into the biggest privately owned company in Australia.

In a courtyard out the back, Justin points out the shapes of old alleyways and doorways in the hotel’s walls. “There’s all these clues to different pasts in there.”

Above our heads, pipes snake through industrial machinery and we can see where the giant smokestack once towered above the

TRAVEL factory before a boiler explosion toppled it in 1946. Only the ghosts of furnace entrance points remain.

Outside on Hunter Street, the buildings are on a slight wonk, a clue to the district’s foundations on reclaimed land.

The street was once the centre of the town’s docklands, and the site of Tasmania’s first jetty. But it fell into neglect, soon becoming the worst slum in Hobart. The jam factory breathed new life into the area until it closed in 1979, the area lying derelict until the new millennium brought with it development. MACq 01 now edges the water, with stunning views across the modern city to Mount Wellington towering above it.

Our viewfinder shows us how Hunter Street looked in the those dirty, derelict times, and before that to 1804 – a pile of rocks on the water. No wonder the building takes a wonk.

Justin leads us through the streets of 21st century Hobart, pointing out clues to the past that reveal these windows through time.

On Macquarie Street he points out a perfectly preserved painted sign for the Bank of England, Scotland and Australia still visible between buildings before it became ANZ. We smirk at statues of King Edward VII and former governor Sir John Franklin in Franklin Square that were intended to line up perfectly; never the twain shall meet.

On the walls of Argyle Street we trace the grooves in the capping stones with our

fingers. The old market once stood close to here and the butchers sharpened their knives on this wall. Further along are scrapings in the sandstone, where heels rubbed while people waited for the trolley bus in the 1950s.

A picture in our viewfinder shows men, collars up and hands clutched and folded against the cold, their feet resting back on the wall.

The tour reveals a city with a deep respect for the preservation of its past alongside an unmatched passion for the future.

Modern Hobart is an array of restaurants and markets showcasing the Apple Isle’s stunning produce, while the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) and Dark Mofo, Australia’s most provocative winter arts festival, have given the city creative cred.

Some of the best ways to take in today’s city are by boat or by plane. Tasmanian Wild Seafood Adventures whisks us across to the peaceful bays of Bruny Island, the crew donning wetsuits and plunging deep for sea urchins, lobster and abalone before cooking up a seafood feast on the deck.

Another is from high above Sullivans Cove, where my Above and Beyond seaplane circles during a quick 20-minute jaunt.

I look down at the city. Like a walk though St David’s Park, its development has been bumpy at times. But at every turn there’s a wonderful reminder of the past that makes modern Hobart as intriguing and hotchpotch as that very first cemetery.

PROFILE Mr Long grew up holidaying on the Sunshine Coast with his family and moved here from Brisbane eight years ago with his wife Sascha and three children.

“You always fall in love with the place you holiday at and it has always been a dream to live on the Sunshine Coast,” he says. “The Coast was a bit like a country town on the water when I used to come up here as a kid.

We used to stay at Parkyn Parade in Mooloolaba and the wharf was undeveloped.

There was just a set of tennis courts there.”

Mr Long and his family recently moved to Buderim to be closer to the kids’ school, leaving behind a 25-acre property in Eudlo.

Both country people, he and his wife wanted their kids to experience what they love about being close to nature, without missing out on the benefits of urban living.

“As the kids are getting older they want to be in the surf or playing sport and now they’ve got the best of both worlds.”

Evans Long, the company Mr Long owns with his mate Matthew Evans, develops a variety of commercial property from medical centres and retail developments, to service stations and industrial developments. They’ve recently started construction on Foundation Place, the first occupants of the Maroochydore CBD, and are thrilled with how the redevelopment of The Wharf has come along.

“We got involved with The Wharf in February 2016,” Mr Long says. “We owned it for 12 months before we did anything. We got around, listened, had a good look. The overarching thing was to bring back what we had. The bones of what was there was sound, so it was just a matter of reinventing it. It had become very tired and it needed a refresher to bring something far more relevant to today’s expectations from consumers.

“We wanted local businesses in there, we didn’t want the national brands and we didn’t ever go out chasing them,” he says. “We wanted hands-on owner-operators who were passionate about their businesses and we’ve achieved that. Businesses can’t survive on the holiday seasons. It’s got to be 365 days a year and it has to appeal to the locals. The Sunshine Coast has always had that idea that we don’t want to become a glitter strip and what we’ve got there now is a bit more down-to-earth and in line with Mooloolaba, but with the standards we expect today. We wanted something different, something adventurous and I think we’ve created that.

“Matt and I always had a vision that as a family, you could sit in the courtyard and if one of the kids wanted calamari, they could grab it, if someone wanted a burger or a pizza, they could grab it. It’s very relaxed. The feedback from the locals and the customers has been overwhelmingly supportive. We get stopped all the time down there by people thanking us for bringing The Wharf back. It’s really rewarding.”

Mr Long has come a long way from his farming days and loves the fact that while he’s a busy guy, he’s found a lifestyle here he doubts he could have achieved on the land.

“A lot of my mates are doing it tough down there,” he says. “I don’t think my Dad saw me play a game of footy, he was always on the farm. They’re wedded to those farms.

I think at the end of the day, that’s why I’m doing what I’m doing. I saw the commitment you have to have to make a living in the rural industry and I don’t want to miss seeing my kids playing a footy game or a netball game. We’re settled on the Sunshine Coast and my wife and I see ourselves here for the long haul.”

“We wanted something different, something adventurous”

Dirk Long:

in for the long haul Behind one of the Sunshine Coast’s biggest property developers is a bloke who is still a country boy at heart. WORDS: Leigh Robshaw.

D

irk Long wasn’t always going to be a property developer. As a young man growing up on a sheep and cattle farm near Texas on the border of Queensland and New South Wales, his one and only dream was farming. Now, as the co-owner of Evans Long, the company behind the redevelopment of The Wharf Mooloolaba, he reflects on the moment that changed everything.

“Farming is all I wanted to do growing up,” he says. “I left school and went jackarooing

out at Longreach, but my father wouldn’t let me go unless I was enrolled in a uni degree, so I did property evaluation, now called property economics. Without a hell of a lot of knowledge about that course, I just did it to keep Dad happy. Off I went to Gatton [University of Queensland campus] and that’s how I got into the property industry.

“If I hadn’t gone off and done that, I would have ended up in the rural industry. I think it’s in your blood. I love my links to the bush and I still have a lot of friends out there.”

DIALLING DOWN RISK

F

ollowing news of further trade hostilities between the US and China in more recent times, we have decided to reduce our allocation to risk assets, by trimming equities and increasing positions in cash and bonds.

We also seek to clear up some misconceptions around how certain sectors in the Australian equity market perform during downturns, based on our analysis of previous market corrections.

Recently, China announced it would place tariffs of five to 10 per cent on $US75 billion of US imports. The US responded by saying it will raise tariffs from 25 per cent to 30 per cent on $US250 billion of Chinese goods, while the proposed 10 per cent tariff on $US300 billion of goods will now go up to 15 per cent. US president Donald Trump has also directed US companies to “start looking

for an alternative to China”.

Our main concerns are that conflict resolution remains remote. Will both countries keep raising tariffs? Will Trump restrict companies transacting with China?

How far will the Chinese yuan fall? Separately, there is still uncertainty on auto tariffs and Brexit outcomes.

Central banks’ core functions are being tested with disorderly trade policy, which means their ability to avert a recession is hampered. In addition to this, yield curves are continuing to send bearish signals as a third yield curve in the US appears to have also inverted in more recent times.

Locally, earnings multiples have re-rated, and in our view, have diverged from the more bearish signals sent by the above indicators.

We have previously estimated circa five to 10 per cent initial downside risk for equity markets, primarily the US and China, if the uncertainty continues. The increased tensions now suggest the top end of that range could be reached in time.

Given our view that equity markets may experience a period of risk-aversion, a more defensive stance is preferred.

To see what may be defensive, we looked at how various sectors of the Australian market have performed during previous market corrections. Although there are some flaws in comparing cycles and sectors – for example, each cycle has a unique

VOTING NOW OPEN HIA PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARDS

cause, and sector compositions change over time – it does show some broad and useful trends.

In a falling market, the ability of any sector to defy the downturn is rare. However, neutral or positive returns in stressful periods generally came from sectors that were more defensive in nature – such as utilities, staples, telecommunications (now communications services) and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

Conversely, cyclicals were the weaker performers. More often than not, the biggest declines in cyclical sectors were witnessed in the consumer discretionary sector, followed

by IT (albeit there was a strong influence of the tech bubble on the IT sector’s performance).

Ultimately, before acting to positioning your portfolio more defensive, we recommend you seek financial advice to ensure this possible re-allocation may suit your overall situation.

MY OPINION

PARTING WISDOM

REBELLIOUS STREAK

Sami Muirhead shares some sad news and is touched by the wise words of a dying man – take action, before it’s too late.

Richard O’Leary experiences a moment of elation when he breaks the rules but the fun ends quickly when law and order is restored.

W

hy is it some people seem to get all the rubbish luck in life? Seriously, some folk just take one hit after another.

As I grow older I am a firm believer everyone has a bag of rocks to carry around. Even people who live seemingly perfect lives on Instagram have a story and problems in life. Trust me.

But some people just seem to be dealt boulders to lug around in those bags.

Boulders so big I never understand how they keep on living and smiling and being positive. I have a few friends who are really unlucky. They are the ones who never seem to attract the nice guys or sheer bad luck seems to come their way.

One couple I know both had different forms of cancer at the same time. What are the chances of that? Another friend survived a car crash to be in a second crash in the ambulance on the way to hospital.

But I was pretty shocked at the cruel hand of fate when I read the news Robin Bailey’s husband has terminal cancer. How much heartbreak can one person take?

Robin does not really know me. I grew up listening to her with Jamie Dunne on B105 in Brisbane. I have always followed her career and have often been in a room when she has hosted events with warmth and a genuine zest for life. I have always looked up to her.

The radio announcer and her three sons lost her first husband to suicide in

2014. Only one year later she was very sensationally fired from her breakfast radio gig. The tenacious lady went on to a rival station where hordes of fans switched stations to follow her. Then she married Sean Pickwell. Now the 56-year-old has only days left to live after being diagnosed with terminal liver cancer.

Robin’s husband has penned a breathtaking letter that says despite the horrid parts of the illness, some wonderful things have come from it: “So I pose the why question. Why does it take someone with a terminal diagnosis to make you realise all the things you should have done years ago. Let’s not sugarcoat this though.

This s—t has a crappy ending. This toxic and venomous cancer is destroying my body, but what has come of this journey is almost impossible to really describe. I hope my words can inspire you to take some action now, before it’s too late,” wrote Sean.

And here is the kicker from a man about to die: “Let’s face it, most of us are quite miserable in our current roles. At the heart of this, I think is we realise how meaningless (not monotonous or many other boring adjectives) much of what we do is. It’s not easy to change, particularly with heavy responsibilities, but my God it is worth thinking about and moving over time to change.”

I think these are wise words and ones we should all embrace. What a true love story indeed.

D

o you ever feel like a number? A cog in a part of a machine? Part of a herd? Do you only halflaugh when someone makes a joke about sheeple – humans who are half-sheep, half-people?

I remember being told about the reason why all airlines follow the same routine – welcome aboard, safety demonstration, light snack, heavier meal, dessert. It’s all about control, making sure people behave. If they know what to expect, and how to conform, then most flights go off without a hitch.

Which is perfectly sensible when you are talking about hundreds of passengers and only a handful of staff – all crammed into a metal cylinder 10 kilometres above ground.

And when I’m on a plane I follow the rules, and I encourage everyone else to. But when I encounter the same methods on land, I can occasionally become contrary and find it impossible not to resist.

My youngest son celebrated his ninth birthday last week and he wanted to go to a theme park on the Gold Coast rather than have a party.

So that’s where I decided to conduct a little experiment. We’d gone through the foyer and were lining up with hundreds of other people behind half a dozen doors which led to the 4D movie theatre, when one of my sons opened one of them a fraction and peered inside.

The theatre was empty and here we all were, standing like robots waiting for an

invitation to enter.

Now I should add that by this time of the day my patience was running out faster than the fairy floss near the kids rides. So, I did something to alleviate my boredom.

I opened the door and went inside. My family followed. And then every other person who had been waiting, did exactly the same thing. No one ran, no one pushed, no one made a scene. Everyone sat down and took a seat. I was higher than those who braved the Batman ride. I had bucked the system. I had

“I had bucked the system. I had stood up to The Man” stood up to The Man. I had not baa-ed.

Alas, the joy only lasted as long as the Batman ride, as well. The attendant, although momentarily flustered when he walked into the room, quickly regained his composure and control of the room, by using one of the greatest crowd control measures ever invented – the microphone.

He told us the movie wouldn’t start unless we all went back outside and lined up again. Who can argue with a man with a microphone? We all got back up, went through those doors and organised ourselves into queues. A kelpie couldn’t have done it any quicker. Baa.

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.

With the latest designs in carpet, timber, laminate, luxury vinyl, tiles, rugs, plus window furnishings, we have the perfect decorating solution for every home and lifestyle.

Things to do, see and eat on the Sunshine Coast.

FOODIE FIND Glass House Brewery has launched a signature Hot 91 Strawberry Sour in honour of Sunshine Coast ex-service personnel.

The brew was launched at the Sunshine Coast Craft Beer and Cider Expo on the weekend. Glass House Brewery used 300 kilos of freshly picked, donated local fruit from Strawberry Fields in Palmview to brew the refreshing kettle-soured beer, with help from Lallemand Brewing, which donated key brewing ingredients.

Proceeds of beer sales will go to Young Veterans, a grassroots organisation that connects local veterans with opportunities, events and services to help them transition to civilian life.

IN THE KNOW Boutique gastro pub Malt Shovel Taphouse is coming soon to join the family of restaurants in The Avenue at Stockland Birtinya.

The new taphouse includes a chic outdoor dining space and is the first of its kind in Queensland, featuring 16 taps of rotating brews and a kitchen that specialises in rotisserie meats.

Customers can expect to see items on the menu like free-range Elgin Valley chicken in a craft beer marinade, Biloela sustainable pork belly and rolled Sovereign lamb with a wild thyme rub, all slow cooked on a custom-built rotisserie in an open kitchen. The new taphouse will be open seven days a week with lunch and dinner menus, live music and bespoke events.

FAMILY FRIENDLY The inaugural Bloomhill Family Fun Day offers an awesome day out for a good cause. Head to Bloomhill Cancer Careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ballinger Road location from 9am to 1pm to enjoy the ponies, petting zoo and reptiles, bounce on the jumping castle, have your face painted and check out the roaming performers.

MY TIME

SUNSHINE COAST PERFORMERS TO JOIN STELLAR CAST IN ROCK OF AGES THE MUSICAL A long list of Sunshine Coast talent including Rowan Howard, Blossom Goodchild and Ben Adams will join the cast of Mad About Theatre’s musical production of Rock of Ages.

The musical, featuring classic 1980s rock tunes including Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Cum On Feel the Noize and I Want to Know What Love Is, will be performed at The Events Centre, Caloundra on October 4 and 5 before heading up to Rockhampton on October 11 and 12.

The local talent will join Sydney-based Eli Cooper and Melbourne-based Lala Barber.

Mr Howard, who is based in Buderim, plays the role of Stacee Jaxx, the role Tom Cruise made famous in the Rock of Ages movie. He says he is looking forward to treading the boards after recently returning from Melbourne, where he appeared in television’s Please Like Me, Wentworth and Neighbours.

“It’s fantastic to be home again and touring in a local and very professional production like this. Stacee’s a great character and he’s a little different to my

usual roles. I’m definitely looking forward to rocking it out on stage,” he says.

“This show will appeal to musical lovers, but also people who would not normally consider themselves musical theatre fans. It’s a universal story of developers trying to destroy the local bar in town while the locals rally to save it. When it’s all set to a great ’80s song list it’s really entertaining and fun.”

Mad About Theatre owner and producer Madison Thew-Keyworth says Rock of Ages is a little different from their previous productions, “but it’s definitely one that I feel inspired and passionate about”.

“Given the quality of the talent we have across the Sunshine Coast, we are able to produce world class performances the likes of which you would see in any large city,” she says. “We don’t believe quality is about geography. It’s about talent and we have that by the bucket-full here, with so many talented actors and crew involved in this show.”

The show is recommended for those aged 13 years and over. Tickets are available at theeventscentre.com.au.

SPERO If you have never tried Greek food, do yourself a favour and take your taste buds on a holiday. Confit lamb shoulder with lemon potatoes, saganaki grilled cheese and moussaka, or for a twist on a classic, pork belly baklava. Why not try the kataifi prawns or a traditional favourite, the lamb gyros?

Spero’s casual waterfront location might just be enough to transport you away from everyday life to the beauty of the Greek Islands.

It’s time to get out and enjoy drinks or dinner with a view at these Mooloolaba eateries. Take the family, or your mates or that special date.

A SLICE OF AVIATION HISTORY

SPOT A WHALE This time of year is referred to as ‘peak whale’, because it’s the middle of the season, so there are lots of whales around, heading north and south as part of their winter migration.

The Sunshine Coast is the perfect place for whale watching or, for the more adventurous, Australia’s first Swim With Whales experience.

This year, it’s estimated there will be more than 30,000 whales migrating up the east coast of Australia and right now, the whales are frolicking around as they mate and feed their calves in the

warmer waters, ready to head back down to Antarctica.

New whale calves are already making their way back down south with their families, making now an excellent time to see entire whale families.

Come join Sunreef Mooloolaba aboard the newly refurbished Whale One catamaran for whale watching – available until early November, or take the plunge and swim with the whales until October 20.

LIFE ON THE ROAD It’s the retirement dream of many over 55s – downsizing to a camper and getting out to explore this great brown land. But there’s a lot to consider before getting out the maps. WORDS: Russell Hunter.

T

hey’re a rapidly growing community in Australia. Some do it because they want to, some because they feel they have to and some have no choice.

But whatever their reason, the grey nomads, as they inevitably have become known, are increasing in numbers – and voice – throughout Australia.

Our land mass is perfect for life on the road. You can travel for years and

never visit the same place twice.

But who are these people and why do they live as they do?

For the most part they’re the baby boomers, the children of the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s who can’t help joining a movement as a means to be different.

Or, as in many cases, it’s the financially sensible thing to do.

For the couple who owns their home and little else, it can make a degree of

sense to cash up, spend up to $250,000 (it’s easy to spend much more) on a flash mobile home, stash the balance in the bank, in shares or whatever, and take to the road.

Plenty are doing it. Just look at cyberspace to check the number of sites and blogs devoted to the grey nomad lifestyle. Memberships and readerships are in the hundreds of thousands.

They are pulling caravans or,

with a ‘toybox’ that can accommodate two Ferraris or similar runabouts.

But whichever way you hold the map, you’ll be two people in a very confined space that will test the most loyal, loving and row-hardened relationship.

And that’s before you start to think of dealing with the contents of the mobile toilet.

On the other hand, you can see this wonderful continent we’re so lucky to be able to call home.

The drawbacks?

Caravan and mobile home rigs are the devil to park. You can’t, in most cases, drop in on the city-dwelling kids and park your rig at the gate.

More choice, more ways to thrive.

Lendlease offers a range of retirement choices so you can live the life you want.

55 PLUS Most councils won’t let you and most neighbours will complain. So you’re left with finding a place to park the rig while you go visiting.

Of course, once you’ve found a place to park, you can uncouple the caravan/trailer and set off in the car. You cannot do that with a fixed rig, so any city visit takes careful planning.

Many of the nomads carry bikes (motorised and pushies) but that may not be suitable for all.

These rigs – fixed or otherwise – are also very poor off-roaders. And if you break down in the bush, well…

So you’d want to know the basics of mobile home and diesel engine maintenance before you hit the road.

A couple of the dealers we spoke with mentioned that classes were available which sounded like a good idea.

The cost?

You can pay millions for a fancy caravan. While the popular price range seems to be between $200,000 and $500,000 there’s no upper price limit.

Meanwhile, the battlers are still getting around in converted vans that can cost as little as $15,000.

There’s also a thriving secondhand market in road rigs. But, as with used cars, you need to be careful.

And if you want that Australian road adventure, be prepared to pay for it.

The new rigs are about as fuel efficient as they come but they can’t cut the price of fuel.

Some may be cheaper in the sales yard but will cost you more in the long run so it’s important to check and remember that the manufacturer’s fuel usage figures are derived from expert drivers, on a perfect surface in perfect conditions.

So add a few bob to their figures and shop around for insurance.

WORK OPPORTUNITIES? Not a few are following the fruit picking season from south to north, but it should be possible to do it in the opposite direction, shouldn’t it?

Whichever direction you travel, be aware it’s physical work. On the other hand, it’s outdoor work and it’s casual, meaning you can usually choose the days and times you want to put in.

And the wonder of the internet has enabled many others to work from home – whether they be writers, online marketers, sales people or whatever.

All they need is a mobile or wi-fi connection and they’re in business.

Plenty seem to pick up other casual work along the way, while others consider themselves retired and intend to remain so.

How many?

The Australian Bureau of Statistics certainly recognises the term ‘grey nomads’ but specific numbers aren’t easy to come by or maybe it needs an expert statistician to plough through the data. But there’s no question that the numbers are on the increase. Just talk to the dealers who’re finding that sales of rigs to oldies is a growth area.

There are quite a few around – Google them and be surprised at the number in our region.

Or just Google ‘grey nomads’ for an idea of the sheer number of sites, blogs and magazines available. It would take a day to look at them all.

The benefits?

See this amazing continent of which we are so lucky to have stewardship.

Come to appreciate a constitution that gives us freedom of movement when so many in the world lack it or have had it taken away.

Or just enjoy the thrill of an open road adventure.

Thank goodness for Australia.

Dot Whittington Your Time editor

IT’S ONLY NATURAL, EXCEPT WHEN IT ISN’T

I

recently read a quote from Douglas Adams, author of the 1979 cult novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which had me nodding in agreement.

“Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.

Anything that’s invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re 35 is against the natural order of things.”

That all sounds about right to me.

I was never particularly overwhelmed by the magic of TV, although I was excited when the images turned from black and white to colour. On the other hand, my father – who was born six years after the Wright brothers made their first flight and three years before the Titanic went down – was in awe of TV. Radio broadcasts had been a modern miracle.

My children saw colour TV as the norm, and rather boring at that. Three generations, three different perspectives.

When I first used a computer in the early 1980s, I kept trying to force the line break and couldn’t quite get my head around the fact that it did it automatically and I didn’t have to swipe a carriage return handle.

My first laptop had a memory of 65KB, which meant that whatever I typed had to be

printed and then deleted before I could start again.

I went to night school to learn to touch type when the electric typewriter was becoming part of the office landscape. My children knew their way around a keyboard while they were still in primary school. Dad lived a full life writing by hand.

Microwave ovens were another miraculous invention. It could warm the baby’s food in 10 seconds and I no longer needed to immerse a container in the Birko to keep the water boiling around it until it warmed.

While my dad shook his head in disbelief that my brother could fit a transistor radio in the palm of his hand, I shook mine at the Walkman that could play your favourite cassettes while you walked.

And then there was the day my husband came home with a shoebox that was in fact a key component of a mobile phone. He could make calls from anywhere as long as he was near that shoebox. My first mobile phone that could, almost, fit in my handbag was groundbreaking.

In just a few decades so much was exciting and revolutionary, but now I’ve moved into seeing many innovations as an affront to the natural order of things.

Netflix has replaced that other marvel, the video store. Mobile phones are computers that fit in your pocket. The internet owns us, and my rotten computer has a mind of its own, constantly changing my words and pre-empting (often wrongly) my next move.

And that’s just scraping the surface. It’s against the natural order of things, I tell you.

As for dear old dad, he must be spinning in his grave.

INDUSTRY EXPERTS AGED CARE

Never too old Too often when we age, we are encouraged to drop roles and responsibilities. But having a purpose is one of the great motivators in life.

An elderly relative who is caring for his frail spouse, mowing his own lawn and shopping each week has a clear purpose. He’s needed. If you take those roles away from him, his health can suffer. Being socially connected is important too.

In his book, Being Mortal US doctor Atul Gawande stresses the importance of purpose and social connections as we age. He describes a nursing home where Dr Bill Thomas persuaded the management to introduce pets to overcome what Dr Thomas called the Three Plagues of nursing homes: boredom, loneliness and helplessness. They brought in a greyhound, a lapdog, four cats and some parakeets. It was a major cultural shift. “People who we had believed weren’t able to speak started speaking,” Dr Thomas says. “People who had been completely withdrawn and non-ambulatory started coming to the nurses’ station and saying, ‘I’ll take the dog for a walk’.”

Before giving up a role you have or encouraging an older relative to lighten their load, pause and think. A simple task such as picking up a loved one’s prescriptions from the pharmacy is a chance to get out of the house and connect with others.

The challenge of retirement

Non-operative options

Hair loss can be prevented

With one man over 65 committing suicide every day in Australia, retirement obviously presents challenges.

Some approach retirement with gusto, but once the long-dreamed-for cruises or caravan trips have been completed and the retirement job list has been well and truly knocked over, there can be a loss of direction.

Don’t retire from life. Spend time and make sure your retirement vision aligns with your partner’s.

List who in your community you may be able to share your time and lifetime of experience with and then contact them.

Is there something you’re interested in, but never had the chance? Make it happen!

Write a new business card for your retirement, for example, volunteer, artist, traveller, community driver, club member, gardener or mentor.

Find a way to keep connected with your family, new and old friends and with your community.

Plan to stimulate your brain – if you don’t use it, you could lose it.

There is a honeymoon period with retirement, but after a few years the novelty can wear off. Don’t just take things as they come. It’s important to be proactive. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Before recommending surgery to a patient suffering with hip or knee osteoarthritis, I recommend exhausting all non-operative methods of treatment first. These include physiotherapy, weight management, lifestyle modification and medication.

Physiotherapy: I recommend a visit to a physiotherapist to request strengthening and range-of-motion exercises, which are useful for managing the symptoms of joint pain.

Weight management: Maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle is vitally important. Ask your GP to check your BMI and suggest effective methods of weight loss and maintenance if necessary.

Lifestyle modification: It’s important to modify the activities that you perform if you suffer from joint pain. Choose low-impact activities such as walking, swimming and cycling, rather than high-impact activities such as running.

Medication: The best medication for joint pain is Panadol Osteo (or equivalent). It’s relatively safe, but always check with your GP before commencing, particularly if you have liver disease. There are also injections available to help treat joint osteoarthritis.

Being educated about your condition will assist you in choosing the best treatment.

Losing your hair during chemotherapy can have significant and different psychological and social impacts on patients.

Firstly, not all chemotherapy causes hair loss. But for those that do experience hair loss, it can be devastating.

At the Sunshine Coast Haematology and Oncology Clinic we provide scalp cooling therapy. This therapy includes cooling of the scalp to three to four degrees, which reduces the effect of the chemotherapy to the hair follicle, thus a reduced risk of hair loss.

Statistics from international clinicals trials on women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy and scalp cooling show that 15 per cent had minimal or no hair loss, 47 per cent had minor hair loss, 30 per cent had moderate hair loss and eight per cent had significant hair loss.

We have also collected some retrospective data from our patients and the percentage of hair loss is very similar (from the patient’s perspective). But the most interesting comment from women and men who have suffered significant hair loss was that they did not regret giving the cold cap therapy a try and would recommend others to give it a go. Technology is making great advances every day.

Where there’s a Will…(part 2)

Depression affects sufferers differently

Struggling to hear?

There are solutions

This is the second article in our series detailing steps you can take to reduce (or perhaps entirely prevent) a challenge being made to your estate.

One crucial step to take as part of your estate plan is to properly deal with your superannuation.

There is an important distinction between ‘estate’ assets and ‘non-estate’ assets.

Most people are surprised to learn their superannuation is not automatically caught or controlled by their Will.

A Binding Nomination dealing with your superannuation can be a very useful estate-planning tool to reduce the impact of any anticipated challenge to your estate. A Binding Nomination, naming beneficiaries who are to directly receive your superannuation, will ‘override’ any clause in your Will.

By putting in place a Binding Nomination you can ensure your superannuation remains a ‘non-estate’ asset and effectively quarantine it from any challenge that might ultimately be made against your estate.

There are strict rules to follow to ensure any Binding Nomination is valid.

If you are suffering with depression, you are not alone – one in 10 Australians will suffer with depression at some point in their life.

Depression can be a disabling condition.

It can impact your studies, work and relationships. For some it will resolve after a few months, but for others it is a lifelong health condition.

There are effective treatments for depression, but there is no single treatment that is right for everybody. It’s important to find a treatment that works for you, and this may take some trial and error. Medications can help but they aren’t the only answer.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been shown to help, and for mild to moderate depression it is as effective as medications.

When it comes to medications to treat depression there are a number of different groups of antidepressants. They are about as effective as each other overall, but some people will respond to one antidepressant better than another. The type and severity of side effects can also be quite different between these groups of antidepressants.

At Pharmacy For Life, our pharmacists are trained to help explain your medications to you and support your with your treatment.

One of the most common complaints we receive in our practice is that people struggle to hear conversations in a restaurant or a crowded room. Most people instinctively place themselves in the corner, so that they can see everything going on.

This is the worst thing you can do if you have hearing problems. Our ears face forward, so if you’re facing the crowd, you’re hearing the crowd. For those suffering from hearing loss, the best place to sit is towards the corner of the room with your back to the noise. Face those you want to hear, not the crowd. This position ensures you block out as much background noise as possible, get less reverberation from the walls and focus your hearing onto those in your party.

Even better, if they have an outdoor area, take a coat and sit outside, away from the noise. Restaurants 30 years ago were comfortable places to communicate.

Changing regulations and interior design have conspired to make dining out a frustrating exercise for many. With more background noise, everyone speaks louder.

The same problem exists in many homes with the trend for open-plan living creating issues. Repositioning the TV so that the noise is behind you, or running the dishwasher when you go to bed instead of straight after the meal, can help to reduce the problem.

DENTURES

Immediate dentures An immediate denture is a complete or partial denture inserted immediately after the extraction of your natural teeth at the same appointment.

Most dentures are made to replace extracted teeth after a healing process has taken place (approximately three months).

But with an immediate denture you can avoid appearing in public without teeth.

Your dental prosthetist will take impressions of your teeth before the extractions. Models are then poured of your mouth. The teeth to be extracted are then removed from the model and denture teeth placed in their positions. Tooth alignment and occlusion can be optimised at this point to improve your appearance and bite. Your new denture is then processed in acrylic to be ready for your dental appointment.

Leaving the dentures in after extractions helps the healing process by protecting the healing sites and limiting swelling.

You will need to return to your dental prosthetist for any adjustments to your bite. You will also need your dentures relined after three months to ensure an optimal fit of the denture once healing has occurred.

KEEP YOUR COOL

DOWNSIZE YOUR HOME, UPSIZE YOUR LIFESTYLE

T

here are many reasons why downsizing for the retirement years is so appealing. Perhaps the kids have grown up and moved on and the large family home feels empty; you want to spend more time doing what you love instead of maintaining a large property; or you want to free up some equity to enjoy in your retirement. Maybe you just want a fresh start to mark the beginning of this exciting new era in your life.

Did you know you can move into an architect-designed home at Nature’s Edge Buderim, starting at just $510,000? That’s well below the Buderim median house price of $652,000, leaving you with more money in your pocket to enjoy the finer things in life. Yes, you really can downsize your home and upsize your lifestyle and your finances at the same time.

Set in the foothills of beautiful Buderim, surrounded by lush rainforest, Nature’s Edge Buderim is the number one lifestyle choice

The weather is finally warming up on the Sunshine Coast. Unfortunately, a change in temperature can take us all by surprise.

Seniors can be vulnerable to the heat because they are not able to distinguish a change in body temperature, or they have health conditions that make it more difficult to adapt to an increase of temperature during the summer. To avoid heat stress and exhaustion, here are five tips to keep in mind: • Stay hydrated – Drink water! Drinking water protects the body from exhaustion and heat-related fatigue.

• Drink ‘cool’ water – The human body hydrates best when water is slightly cool or at room temperature. If it’s too cold, the human body must work to heat it up, and if it’s too hot, the body must exert additional energy to cool it down.

• Dress to refresh – Clothes also play an important role in keeping body temperature down as outdoor temperatures rise. It’s best to wear paler, light clothing. Brighter colours reflect

for the over 50s. With a relaxed, community atmosphere, and all the amenities you would expect at a resort, you will feel like you are permanently on holiday!

Forget weekends spent mowing the lawns or cleaning the pool. At Nature’s Edge Buderim that’s all taken care of, leaving you time to fill your days swimming in the 20-metre heated pool, enjoying a hit of tennis, relaxing with friends at the purposebuilt cinema, or enjoying happy hour on the expansive deck. Cheers to that!

Nature’s Edge Buderim really does offer affordable luxury living at its best. There are no exit fees, no stamp duty, no body corporate fees and if you decide to sell, you keep 100 per cent of the capital gain! What’s not to love?

• Shelter – Avoid the hottest part of the day in direct sunlight as this can have the most impact.

• Airflow – Keep air flowing through your home by opening windows to capture and enjoy that nice spring breeze!

MEMORY PROBLEMS? JUST SLEEP ON IT Australians are quick to blame forgetfulness on ageing, but the real reason is closer to home. Specialists at the Sleep Health Foundation are concerned many adults don’t understand just how much sleep is affecting their daytime functioning, particularly memory and mood.

“It’s very common to hear people pass off their forgetfulness and fogginess as the result of getting old,” says Sleep Health Foundation chair Professor Dorothy Bruck.

“What many fail to recognise is that sleep – or lack of it – is playing a pivotal role in memory and mood.”

Research shows four out of 10 Australians get insufficient sleep either daily or several days a week. This can affect mood, energy levels, productivity, weight and the likelihood of developing serious health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and hypertension.

Multiple studies have confirmed sleep

helps learning and memory in two distinct ways. “Firstly, sleep helps to prepare our brain for learning new things,” Professor Bruck says. “When we are well rested, we can pay better attention to new information that we come across in our daily experiences.”

Secondly, sleep helps make new information “stick”.

“During sleep, the brain replays memories from the day, making the neural connections stronger,” Professor Bruck, says.

Sleep also plays an important role in creativity, by looking at things in a new way while we sleep.

Adults should try to get seven to eight hours of sleep a night. The Sleep Health Foundation recommends a quiet room, a relaxed mind and a comfortable bed. It also advises avoiding caffeine after 2pm, winding down an hour before bed and keeping technology out of the bedroom.

Mighty Mars is marching through your sign (until October 4) so it’s time to be bold and brave as you tackle challenges with extra vim and vigour.

Find creative ways to encourage more health, harmony and happiness at Villa Virgo.

Librans have a passion for fashion.

This week’s new moon (in your sign) is the perfect time for a hot new hairstyle, a makeover or a wardrobe revamp. And with Venus and Mercury visiting your sign, you need to tap into your inner beauty and zest for life.

You’re longing for some down time, as you make inner peace a priority.

But Thursday and Friday look intense, as you stress about minor matters.

If you find yourself frazzled then meditation, yoga or some other form of contemplation will calm you down.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 20)

AQUARIUS (JAN 21-FEB 19)

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)

The planets activate your hopes and wishes, and they also boost your natural optimism and lucky nature.

So aim to be generous rather than garrulous; and spontaneous rather than slap-dash. Plus dare to turn your abstract dreams into robust reality!

Saturn (your patron planet) hinders your progress, as you feel as if you’re going nowhere. The stars are testing your stamina and persistence, so don’t give up. The new moon encourages you to tap into your inner strength to set a positive new course.

It’s time to roll up your sleeves, work hard, create your preferred future and follow your destiny. Don’t be dismayed by temporary setbacks and stressful delays along the way!

And don’t be deterred by perceived mistakes you made in the past.

Jupiter brings opportunity your way.

So make sure you grab it with both hands and make the most of it. Then Saturday’s new moon lights up your lust and seduction zone. If you’re attached, look forward to a racy rendezvous with your sweetheart.

PROPERTY

BUYERS WILLING TO PAY THE BIG BUCKS The Sunshine Coast property market is attracting increasing attention from interstate and overseas buyers who want a piece of our idyllic lifestyle.

25 Cuba Court, Kawana Island

T

he Sunshine Coast property market has always attracted buyers from southern markets and overseas. City dwellers who tired of the relentless pace of their urban life might get a taste of our relaxed lifestyle (and our relatively affordable property prices) while on holiday and begin to wonder – is it time to swap inner-city Melbourne for Minyama or Kawana?

It’s a scenario familiar to McGrath Mooloolaba agent Geoff Ohmsen. He gets lots of inquiry from interstate and overseas buyers, and they’re looking for more than just a holiday home. Having had their fill of the rat race, they are now settling in the region. “Smaller and medium-sized businesses are also coming here,” Mr Ohmsen adds.

“And now a lot of people can run a company and business from anywhere.” If you can run your business or travel for work, where better to have a home base than on the Sunshine Coast?

Mr Ohmsen recently sold 25 Cuba Court on Kawana Island to a South African buyer who couldn’t wait to secure a slice of Sunshine Coast property. Cuba Court was listed for offers over $2.2 million. “I got the listing, [the online ad] went live on Friday and the property sold on the Monday – five days on the market. This sale of $2,325,000 is now a record for Kawana Island.”

That buyer is not alone – Mr Ohmsen says there are plenty of buyers with big budgets looking right now. “I’ve met a heap lately with three, four, five million [to spend]. They are local, from Brisbane, South Africa and Melbourne. Victoria has always been big for us.”

While Cuba Court was a very quick turnaround, Mr

Ohmsen says most of his properties still average 28 to 30 days on market.

However, the market is in good shape. “It’s the best I have seen it for two or three years. The quality of properties is high and [they are] attracting a few people.”

For vendors hoping to entice these buyers, and the best price for their property, the advice is to invest in marketing. Mr Ohmsen says 30 per cent of his potential buyers come Geoff Ohmsen from online advertising, 30 from print advertising and 30 from other forms of marketing, such as signage and letterbox drops.

“I aim for print every time,” he adds. “I’ve found that it actually makes people act quicker when the ad is in print.” He cites the example of a family who saw a property advertised online, but didn’t see the urgency to make an offer until they saw the same property advertised in My Property Preview.

“When it came into print, they realised it would have competition too.”

Mr Ohmsen adds, “It’s important to cover all areas of marketing to ensure you don’t miss a buyer.”

C21 Grant Smith Property principal Grant Smith says the Coast is experiencing what he would call a “normal” market and the past few weeks has been a mixed bag of sales for him, with a Buderim residential record-breaking sale before the property went to market.

On the first weekend of spring, the luxury property at 11 Eckersley Avenue in Buderim achieved a record $1.65 million after being sold off market by Mr Smith and Shari Hall to an expat family moving back from London.

“The developer, Nexus Property Group, are renowned for high-end quality products, setting the benchmark in exquisite quality and design and the sellers confidently created an unprecedented home in one of Buderim’s most desirable streets, resulting in an uncompromised, sophisticated Los Angeles-inspired home with state of the art finishes and design,” Mr Smith says.

“We had previously shown the buyers 25 properties in the mid $1.5 million to $2.5 million price range and we knew that the match to this home was perfect for their family. Through transparent communication between the buyers and sellers, the buyers will have the home customised to suit their lifestyle.”

11 Eckersley Avenue Buderim.

Inset: Grant Smith & Shari Hall

Mr Smith says unique products in good streets are continuing to command great prices, with another benchmark set for Buderim earlier this year as 17 Foote Avenue sold for $1.375 after “stirring up a lot of activity”.

“Buyers are savvy and have high expectations of things like finish and want value for what they are paying for. In a very price-savvy market, 20 per cent of our buyers are looking for the dream home in good locations and will pay for the perfect product, the remaining 80 per cent are still looking for good value for money and there are still areas of the Sunshine Coast that still represent good buying opportunities,” he says.

Mr Smith says the majority of their million-dollar sales around Buderim have come from Brisbane, interstate or international buyers over the last few months.

To showcase how varied life as a real estate agent is, the day after Mr Smith and Ms Hall secured the Buderim residential property sales record, Mr Smith sold his lowestvalue property of his career, with a studio apartment in the Alex Beach Resort selling under the hammer for $135,000 with six registered bidders in for a piece of the action.

“One guy saw it for the first time that morning as he was here on holidays, but the winning bidder already lived in another unit in the building,” he says.

“It just goes to show that as long as you’ve got systems in place and you treat every property like it’s a prized asset, you will always get a good outcome for the seller.”

NEW 4.5-STAR HOTEL SET TO OPEN IN MAROOCHYDORE CITY CENTRE BY EARLY 2021

W

ork is set to begin on a 4.5-star Holiday Inn Express & Suites in the new Maroochydore City Centre following approval for the project from Economic Development Queensland.

Leading Australian hotel development and investment firm, Pro-invest, expects to

start construction on the nine-storey, 167-room Holiday Inn Express & Suites before Christmas with a view to opening in early 2021.

Pro-invest, which develops and operates the Holiday Inn Express brand in Australia and New Zealand under franchise from InterContinental Hotels

Group, will build the new hotel on a prime 2535m2 site on First Avenue, close to the proposed future light rail network.

Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson says Pro-invest’s commitment is another vote of confidence in the Maroochydore City Centre.

“The Maroochydore City Centre will be an incredibly important part of the Sunshine Coast’s future,” Cr Jamieson says.

“Smart, first movers like Pro-invest are taking advantage of the rare opportunity to be part of building the only greenfield CBD site in Australia.”

“Their investment also represents an opportunity for our tourism and business events industry, offering quality hotel accommodation in the heart of our new city centre.”

Pro-invest chief executive officer Ronald Barrott says the new hotel will accommodate business and leisure travellers while also having conference and function facilities to cater to meetings.

“The Sunshine Coast is transitioning from a largely leisure-based market to a more diversified market with major growth in businesses establishing themselves in the region to take advantage of the large-scale infrastructure project such as the expanded airport, the new Maroochydore CBD and the international broadband submarine cable,” he says.

SunCentral Maroochydore chief executive officer John Knaggs says the Holiday Inn Express & Suites will serve as a landmark building in the new CBD. “It is an astute investment by Proinvest from a brand and visibility point of view, being located on First Avenue at the gateway to the CBD,” he says.

FINAL WORD “Their investment also represents an opportunity for our tourism and business events industry…”

WATERSIDE WALKWAYS SPRING TO LIFE IN MAROOCHYDORE CITY CENTRE Work is underway on the viewing decks, landscaped terraces, footpaths and garden beds that will run beside the new city centre’s central waterway.

SunCentral Maroochydore Development manager Simon Kay says 450 linear metres of concrete revetment walls and a weir to maintain minimum water levels, are part of this first stage of edge works.

The central waterway and footpaths running from Maud Street to Plaza Parade are a key part of the city centre’s design and will play an important role in linking the proposed premium hotel and business convention centre with the future transit terminus/railway station and the Sunshine Plaza.

“These works will also extend First Avenue and open Sunshine Coast Parade, expanding the network of accessible streets in the city centre’s core commercial precinct.”

Mr Kay says more than 40 per cent of Maroochydore City Centre will be dedicated to public realm spaces including parks, plazas, waterways and paths for walking or cycling.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

I had a pretty cool experience while watching whales on my stand-up last week off Moffats. Paddling back about one-and-ahalf kilometres off the beach, we witnessed a lot of splashing and fins. It really looked like sharks feasting on something dead. So of course, we paddled closer to get a look… as you do. It was not sharks, but dolphins surrounding a mother while she gave birth. Once the baby dolphin came out, the pod took turns in keeping the baby above the water so it could take a breath of air to kickstart its life. Then they took turns in pushing it across the surface to get it moving. Very, very cool!

This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we are spewing we did not have a GoPro with us. Bugger, poo, bum.

Not many waves peeps, later.
