AGENDA

BEARING THE BRUNT OF WAR ON INFLATION Experts say mortgage holders are being unfairly treated by government policy, and that other measures would spread the pain more evenly.

M

ortgage holders are bearing too much of the brunt of the RBA’s effort to bring down inflation, the majority of panellists believe in a recent poll.

In this month’s Finder RBA Cash Rate Survey, 36 experts and economists weighed in on future cash rate moves and other issues relating to the state of the economy.

Most experts (81 per cent) correctly

predicted a cash rate hold – keeping it at 4.35 per cent in August.

Graham Cooke, head of consumer research at Finder, says mortgagors are now anxiously waiting for a cash rate cut.

“Millions of Aussie borrowers are experiencing significant mortgage stress due to the fact that their monthly repayments have blown out so much and so rapidly.

“They’re waiting with bated breath for any sign of relief from the RBA.

“The good news is, our experts say there’s a 56 per cent chance of a rate cut in the next 12 months. The bad news is, one in three say we will see a rate rise,” Mr Cooke says.

Two in three experts (67 per cent) who weighed in believe mortgage holders are shouldering too much of the burden from the RBA’s attempt to curb inflation.

Shane Oliver, from AMP, agrees that mortgage holders are bearing too much of the brunt.

“Tighter fiscal policy in the form of tax hikes and spending cuts or maybe a one per cent super levy on everyone would better spread the burden,” he says.

“But that would mean politicians would have to do things that are politically unpopular and history shows that they cannot be relied upon to do that.

“So, responsibility for controlling inflation should remain with the RBA and that unfortunately means the burden remains on mortgage holders.

“Of course, it’s worth recalling that existing mortgage holders were big beneficiaries of falling interest rates in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s.”

Recent data released by RBA economists Ryan Morgan and Elena Ryan shows the number of highly indebted owner-occupiers (with loan-to-value ratios above 80 per cent) who are more than 90 days behind on their mortgage has grown from one per cent to almost three per cent.

Almost all experts (95 per cent) expect this trend to continue.

Mr Cooke says now is the time to consider how to best mitigate mortgage stress.

“First, review your home loan to make sure you’re not paying more than you need to – pay attention to what your

lender is offering new customers,” he says.

“Next, look at your monthly spending and budget. Are there any obvious expenses you can cut out?

“Finally, see if you can pay less for what you’re already using – from your mobile phone plan to car insurance to where you shop for groceries.

“Some simple swaps could save you thousands of dollars over the course of a year.

“Remember, if you’re really struggling

“If you’re struggling with your home loan, communicate as soon as possible with your lender” with your home loan, communicate as soon as possible with your lender as they can offer hardship programs such as a temporary mortgage holiday.”

Dale Gillham, from Wealth Within, says government action is required.

“Whilst we have limited wage growth, increasing cost of living and rising unemployment, it stands to reason that mortgage stress will continue to snowball until the government steps in to do what it should,” Mr Gillham says.

Nalini Prasad, from UNSW Sydney, notes, “Higher interest rates will make it harder for highly leveraged households to meet mortgage repayments.”

This comes as a record high 41 per cent of homeowners struggled to pay their mortgage in July, up from 34 per cent in June, Finder’s Consumer Sentiment Tracker reveals.

The oldest known tree in the world, a Great Basin bristlecone pine named Methuselah, is more than 4800 years old in California’s White Mountains.

These ancient trees thrive in harsh conditions.

Methuselah’s exact location is kept secret to protect it from vandalism. Studying old trees provides insights into climate change and historical environmental conditions.

There are about 7000 languages spoken globally today. However, about 40 per cent of those languages are considered endangered, with less than 1000 speakers remaining. Papua New Guinea, one of the most linguistically diverse countries, boasts in excess of 800 languages. While English is the most widely spoken second language, Mandarin Chinese has the most native speakers. Language diversity reflects the rich cultural heritage of human societies but faces challenges due to globalisation and cultural assimilation.

By the numbers

The Eureka Rebellion, a pivotal event in Australian history, occurred in 1854. Miners in Ballarat, Victoria, protested against the colonial authorities’ mining licence system, which was perceived as oppressive and unfair. The conflict culminated in a violent clash on December 3, when government troops stormed the Eureka Stockade: a makeshift fortification built by the miners. The rebellion was swiftly crushed, but it galvanised public opinion and led to significant reforms, including the abolition of the mining licence.

Today in history – August 15 1947 – India becomes independent from British rule. British control of the South Asian country began in the mid-1800s with the East India Company.

The company initially established itself in the subcontinent for trading purposes, and then slowly took control over the princely states that separately ruled the country.

1969 – The Woodstock Music and Art Fair opens its doors. The legendary music festival, popularly known as Woodstock, was held in Bethel, New York, at the farm of farmer Max B Yasgur. More than 400,000 people attended the festival, which is often thought to be a key moment in the anti-establishment movement that was gaining popularity in the US.

ATTRACTIONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A HUGE DEAL

B

efore we endlessly searched social media feeds for the next ‘big thing’, savvy Sunshine Coast entrepreneurs were meeting the mammoth task of amusing the generations with enormously fun investments.

The region’s natural scenic beauty – from the blue of the ocean and gold of the sands to the green of the hinterland – has always been our main attraction.

But we needed a point of difference from the Gold Coast (so-named in 1959) – plus a little something extra to colour our world on rainy days, weekends and extended holidays.

The big ideas began emerging around the time that the ‘Near North Coast’ officially changed its name to ‘Sunshine Coast’ in 1967, and off the back of a tourism marketing blitz on Sydney and Melbourne.

Our ‘big things’ – whacky, man-made attractions – started to pop up like mushrooms to grab our attention … and

hard-earned pocketmoney.

The relaunch of The Big Pineapple at Woombye on June 11 this year no doubt saw a wave of nostalgia sweep through those old enough to remember the original.

Bill and Lyn Taylor opened the attraction – complete with 16m-high fibreglass pineapple – on August 15, 1971.

Built in the heart of what was then pineapple country, The Big Pineapple was the entrance to a working farm and our earliest foray into agri-tourism on a monumental scale, literally.

The attraction aimed to showcase farming produce from macadamias and avocados to Buderim ginger.

Quite apart from locals and holidaymakers, families from Brisbane and north of Gympie would tackle the notoriously slow Bruce Highway for hours with the promise of a pineapple parfait, banana split or macadamia ice cream after a quaint train ride with commentary through the fields of spiky pineapples,

plantings of tropical fruit and the surrounding rainforest, stopping at the animal nursery.

An addition in 1978 allowed visitors to ride the Nutmobile train with carriages shaped like gigantic macadamia nuts (until then, largely known as ‘Queensland nuts’, which schoolchildren loved to crack open with a hammer).

Yes, they were simpler times ...

This sweet slice of Sunshine Coast history was so popular in its heyday, it drew more than a million visitors annually, including perhaps its most notable celebs: Prince Charles and Princess Diana in 1983, on their first overseas tour together.

But Queensland’s first ‘big’ attraction was a real bottler! The House of Bottles, built by collector George Clifford, opened in Tewantin on Boxing Day 1966, made from 35,000 beer ‘vessels’. The gallery boasted 5000 bottles of varying shapes and sizes – many with a history and story to tell. Its towering Giant Stubby –

Dino’s Fun Park roller-coaster measuring 8.5m high and 4m across, and comprising a further 17,000 stubbies – was added in 1969, with a spiral staircase up three floors and a thrilling 15m slide to the bottom.

Nearby Tewantin landmark, The Big Shell (a 6m concrete baler shell), was another vintage 1960s attraction, highlighting the Coloured Sands phenomenon up the road at Rainbow Beach.

Ettamogah Pub, Palmview, ca 2000 Moo-vin’ on to Des and Barbara Scanlon, who opened the Big Cow (a 10.8m long and 7.9m tall Ayrshire) in 1976 at Kulangoor. The Big Cow contained a dairy display which was accessed by a walkway and platform to showcase the Suncoast Dairy working farm.

While the cool kids were hanging out at live gigs at Surfair and doing the Sunday session at Mooloolaba Pub (Thommo’s), others were heading to the Sunshine Coast version of ‘Theme Park Central’.

Superbee at Tanawha created plenty of buzz from 1968 – a place where visitors of all ages could see bee hives safely up close, watch beekeeper demonstrations and taste honey varieties. Many families took the opportunity to picnic in the grounds and stroll the homes of nursery rhyme and children’s book characters including The House that Jack Built and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Another ‘big’ deal was monstrously entertaining. Dino’s Fun Park (originally Tanawha World) was home to the life-sized Australian dinosaur model, the Rhoetosaurus. The grounds also boasted dodgem cars and pony, boat and steam train rides among its novelties. Braving the timber roller-coaster that clicketyclacked over the rails at perilous speed also won brownie points with your mates or new love.

Nearby Forest Glen Deer Sanctuary, which opened in 1980, may not have had

such an imposing mascot as a replica dinosaur but it was certainly sizeable in tourism stature. The 20-hectare site had park-like lawns and a bushland setting that offered the thrill of getting up close with hoofed creatures including rusa, fallow and chital deer, wallabies and kangaroos, and birds as big as emus from the comfort of your family car with a brown paper bag of feed.

Meanwhile at Bli Bli, Sunshine Castle – a replica of an 11th century Norman Castle – stands as knightly today as it did in 1973, when Nambour pharmacist Ian Hayne and his wife Marcia opened the original Fairytale Castle. While the castle has certainly seen its battles in recent times, visitors can still undertake a mini self-guided tour with access to the Courtyard, Dancing Dolls, Fairytale walk and Model Train display, or take advantage of the toy shop and coffee counter. Four-piece ‘post-punk’ band Semantics partly shot its recent music video for Love Language at Sunshine Castle, which also serves as a unique backdrop for wedding and formal photos and a medieval setting for cosplay enthusiasts.

But if we’re talking ‘larger than life’ in personality and conservation dreams, the late Steve Irwin and his family took the small-scale Beerwah Reptile Park, which opened in June 1970, and turned it into today’s mega Australia Zoo, putting

IMAGE: SC HERITAGE LIBRARY

the region on the world tourist attractions map.

Each new enterprise had its day in the sun, boosting the local economy and adding to the Coast’s epic tourism legacy.

You could say we’ve gone from ‘big’ to ‘grand’ with modern-day crowd-pleasers such as Aussie World and Banana Bender Pub (formerly Ettamogah Pub) at Palmview, The Ginger Factory in Yandina, Landsborough’s The Big Kart Track, the Bli Bli Watersports Complex, Sea Life Sunshine Coast at The Wharf in Mooloolaba, Amaze World (formerly Bellingham Maze) at Tanawha, and Wildlife HQ next to The Big Pineapple at Woombye.

One final colossus may not claim to be a tourism playground but it has still deserved its place on Australia’s ‘big things’ trail since 1974.

The Big Mower at Beerwah is a family-owned outdoor power tools business spanning the generations – a massive achievement.

And its homage to an early lawnmower model, at 11 metres tall and three metres wide, means it will always remain a cut above the rest in promotion.

BIG IDEAS We’ve loved and lost a string of pearlers in attractions. No trip down memory lane would be complete without: • Suncoast Pioneer Village at Pacific Paradise – a 1976 pioneer museum opened by Kath and Noel Parry and their sons who also collected, restored and researched items in the exhibition. The Foy, Chesterton and Murray family bought the 3.85ha site in 1990 and turned it into Nostalgia Town for a “laugh at the past” • Hans Wetzel’s Movie Museum in Burnett Street, Buderim, which was opened by actor Chips Rafferty in 1970, as a nod to the Australian silent movies era • the timber replica of Captain Cook’s HM Endeavour, built by the Goodchild family in the 1970s, that dropped anchor at two sites: Landsborough Parade, Golden Beach, relocating in 1992 to the Waterfront Hotel at Diddillibah (dismantled in late 2007) • Currimundi’s Black Hole Waterslide (near Ahern Bridge on Nicklin Way) whose three slides stepped up in degrees of daring twists (the namesake slide was blacked out so you never knew when the next turn was coming) • The House of Matchcraft, Currimundi: Leonard Hughes’ display of 300-plus models, including landmark structures and a Spanish Armada, created from matchsticks, glue and tonnes of patience

The 2024 Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network award winners Teneille Newton, Jodi Salmond, Rochelle Callard, Jenny Lawson, Katherine Nichols and Samantha Rillie

APPLAUDING BUSINESS ACHIEVEMENTS Sunshine Coast award winners take a bow at network’s milestone night of nights.

T

he brightest stars of women in business have been celebrated as a Sunshine Coast organisation commemorates 25 years of its coveted awards.

On August 8, the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network (SCBWN) hosted it annual Awards Night.

The occasion highlights and celebrates an exceptional and varied group of businesswomen who make a significant impact across numerous industries in the region.

Out of 64 outstanding submissions, 34 finalists were selected across five categories, each with the opportunity to take home the 2024 Outstanding Business Woman of the Year prize.

This year, the prestigious accolade was awarded to Jenny Lawson, from

Successful Grants. Other major winners across the categories were Jodi Salmond, Teneille Newton, Samantha Rillie, Katherine Nichols and Rochelle Callard.

SCBWN president Paula Williamson congratulates all the nominees, finalists and winners of this year’s awards.

“The Sunshine Coast is home to an array of inspiring and dedicated businesswomen who are leaders in their industries,” she says.

“It takes a special kind of courage and strength to build a business, or advance in a corporate career, and I am continually amazed by their journeys and personal testimonials.

“Each year, the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Awards Night is an opportunity to celebrate the courage and sacrifice it takes to run a successful

business and career, whether it’s steering a thriving enterprise or excelling in a corporate role.

“The achievements of our finalists and award recipients are a testament to their resilience and passion.

“Often, we are so busy chasing a deadline or goal that we fail to stop and reflect on how far we have come and I’m honoured to be part of this annual celebration where we get to do just that, together.”

In addition to the category winners, a new category was introduced for SCBWN award alumni who continue to inspire and empower women in business through their ongoing connection with the network.

HOW TO BE PART OF THE FOOD CRISIS SOLUTION A Nambour foundation hopes a new campaign to raise awareness and funds will become an annual event each August.

F

or more than 20 years, a Nambour foundation has been a beacon of hope for the most vulnerable in the community.

Now, The Everyday Foundation (formerly Suncoast Care) is calling on residents and businesses to join them in an urgent mission to tackle food insecurity.

The inaugural Love Food Give Food

campaign seeks to raise awareness and vital funds throughout August, culminating in a grand long lunch fundraising event at Flaxton Gardens on August 30.

Operations manager Karen Gullo (pictured) spoke to My Weekly Preview about bringing the campaign to life and creating awareness of the organisation.

Explain the work The Everyday

Foundation does? The Everyday Foundation exists to make sure that no one on the Sunshine Coast goes hungry and to meet people in their place of need.

The foundation’s many programs have been designed to provide food relief, as well as provide a place of community and connection.

How real is food insecurity on the Sunshine Coast? Close to one-in-four Australians are affected by food insecurity and we see this daily at our Everyday Food Outlet. With the cost of accommodation rising, people have less in their budget to feed their families. Our food outlet, which sells discounted groceries, has seen a significant increase in people accessing our services. We’ve also experienced an increased demand for our state-funded community support program.

In 2023, The Everyday Foundation provided more than 52,000 meals. How in an operation of this magnitude achieved? Our community meal kitchen The Daily Bread serves over 200 meals every week and offers a place of community to our patrons. These meals are all prepared in our own social enterprise café – Bean. We distribute additional meals via our food outlet and community support program, thanks to our café and organisations such as Urban Angels and Second Bite.

What challenges do organisations like The Everyday Foundation face? The big challenge for us is always resources, human and financial, and this is only getting more challenging. We are incredibly grateful to our volunteers, who gave a massive 17,000 volunteer hours in 2023, our financial supporters and community partners. It is due to their support that we are able to respond to the growing need in our community.

What is the Love Food Give Food campaign? The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness about the need that is in our community and to invite the Sunshine Coast to be part of the solution. It takes as little as $2 to provide someone with a warm meal. We’re also hoping to raise awareness of our services so that people know that support is available if times get tough.

What’s next for the foundation?

We’re hoping that Love Food, Give Food will become an annual campaign that the Sunshine Coast community comes to know and champion each August. We are also excited to share that, after years of being in rented facilities, we are in the process of purchasing a property which will see us have a permanent home.

Cousins Paul and Scott Peak

RALLYING FOR FUNDS Sunshine Coast cousins are driving home the good work of the Cancer Council as they hit the road in a quirky event. WORDS: Caitlin Zerafa.

S

unshine Coast cousins Paul and Scott Peak and their 1994 Commodore are ready to embark on a mystery adventure across the country, rallying up funds for a worthy cause.

Known by their team name the ‘Peaky Blinders’, the pair will take up their places in the Mystery Box Rally, running from August 16 to 21.

The event, which raises money for the Cancer Council, sees teams drive cars of 25 years or older from Airlie Beach along a

mystery route – only receiving the details of the day’s journey that morning.

Paul tells My Weekly Preview the reason for taking part in the rally, aside from a love of cars, is the chance to make a difference to those facing cancer.

“We both personally have had family and friends who have been affected by cancer, as has most of the world, so we wanted to do our part to kick cancer’s butt,” he says.

“This has been our motto the whole journey and it’s been really amazing seeing

the community getting behind us and helping us fundraise money to do exactly that.”

The cousins will drive a 1994 VR Commodore Executive station wagon and are looking forward to bringing their own rally dreams to life.

“I was reminiscing the other day … about how in primary school we used to watch the rally cars drive past and get them to beep at us,” Paul says.

“Now Scott and I get to go on this journey. Scott has always had an interest in cars and doing up vehicles, so this was the perfect opportunity for him to use his skills. “(He) has been working hard fixing it all up to get it rally-ready.

“I am glad to have him because I know nothing about cars. I am the fundraiser and Scott is the hellraiser.”

Car enthusiasm aside, the team has raised more than $12,000 so far.

“We are really looking forward to meeting fellow rallyers from across Australia uniting for the same cause,” Paul says. “It will be a nice reward after the fantastic fundraising efforts from everyone involved this year.”

Visit mysteryboxrally.com.au/teams and search for ‘Peaky Blinders’ to make a donation. Keep up to date on the adventures at @peakyblindersmysteryboxrally on Instagram.

RUNNING FOR HIS STATE Running six kilometres in just 19 minutes and six seconds has earned a Sunshine Coast teenager the chance to compete in an Australian championship race.

Rhett Baker has qualified for the School Sport Australia 10-19 Years Cross Country Championships in Yarra Glen, Victoria, from August 20-23. Then on August 31, he competes in the Athletics Australia Cross Country Championships in Tasmania.

The 16-year-old finished first in his age division at the Queensland championships last month.

“It was an unreal experience and it was good to have all my hard work pay off,” Rhett says.

His mother Nicky Baker says her son worked incredibly hard after finishing in 33rd position at the 2023 state event: “What a fighter and hard worker he is.”

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS What a wonderful community we have.

Not a day goes by without me learning something new about this incredible place we live in.

The past four months have been a whirlwind of learning. Some of the highlights have been meeting with residents, discussing their concerns and sharing in what they love about our region. Our Councillor in the Community days are starting soon, so keep an eye on Facebook for the dates.

Congratulations to the new leaders of Baringa State Secondary College for 2024-25. It was an honour to see students presented with their badges in front of teachers, parents and peers, as they continue to lead, upholding the school values of respect, integrity and courage.

I’m excited to support the establishment of a new Police Citizens

Youth Club (PCYC). These PCYC facilities across Queensland are renowned for providing a safe space for youth and a place to cater for a range of community activities, events and sports.

The council is paving the way for the new community facility to be built at Caloundra South, enhancing youth engagement and services in the area.

Positioned on a 6500sqm parcel of land in the future Aura Town Centre, I believe this will be so important for a newly established residential area, driving community cohesion and connection.

This announcement is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when council, state government and stakeholders work hard together for the best outcomes for our communities.

Council updates Tougher state government-enforced dog laws came into effect from July 31, implementing increased penalties, plus possible jail time for serious attacks.

The Queensland government has increased the penalty for not effectively controlling your dog in a public place, with an on-the-spot fine now $806.

This includes having a dog off-leash in an on-leash area.

If the dog is in an off-leash area, the owner must be able to control the dog using voice command.

STRENGTH OF PARTNERS Partnering with a charity benefits your business, the charity and the community both serve.

Research shows that your organisation giving back to a cause that benefits the wider community helps your brand – improving productivity, staff recruitment and retention rates and customer loyalty.

A charity choosing to align with your business speaks to more than their mission to raise money. It speaks directly to their trust in your business, belief in the values to which your business aligns, and the reputation of your business.

Wishlist partners with the best of Sunshine Coast businesses, which each go above and beyond to support the needs of your local hospital foundation. Tecoda has worked closely with Wishlist to streamline cybersecurity, system integration and governance of operations and provide our charity with the comfort and security that

every business needs in today’s crazy world of technology. This local team of tech gurus, based in Maroochydore, operates at a level of professionalism and ability to rival any fancy campus in Silicone Valley.

Staff are patient with tech-illiterates (trust me), generous beyond measure and, quite simply, outstandingly fine people.

The team has enhanced Wishlist’s free WiFi service at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital, strengthened our defences against cyber threats, advised on measures to ensure ultimate protection and, importantly, presented to the team on the weakest link in protecting against fraud attempts: human error. It has worked to integrate multiple systems we use across finance, communication, marketing, fundraising and data management, which creates priceless time and cost savings.

This ultimately ensures donor data is protected and your privacy assured. Thanks to the generous pro bono contribution, we can confidently focus on our work to make a visit to a local hospital a little easier for you and your family. This generosity ensures the charity in which you’ve placed your trust is operating as efficiently and effectively as possible towards the cause.

To say we’re proud to partner with Tecoda is an understatement. There’s no words to express our gratitude to Christian, Julia, Gary and the team.

MY OPINION

CHANNELLING OLYMPIC PAIN

IN THE BUSINESS OF CHARITY

Ashley Robinson knows that when it comes to smart TVs and technology, he’s out of his league with so many buttons and things to go wrong.

Jane Stephens is left with a bad taste in her mouth when things just don’t seem to add up on a recent visit to a service station.

W

hy is everything so difficult these days? Updating your My Gov or any other government department account online is always a mission. The ATO, Health Department, trying to make a complaint to Qantas are all online and designed to be difficult – well, that’s how it appears to me.

Take Old Mate. When she has anything go wrong with something online or she is trying to make a payment, wow! Look out.

She starts making these funny little breathing noises – something similar to hyperventilating. It’s quite scary. I have learnt two things when this happens: don’t try and help (even if asked) and don’t make eye contact. Both move me closer to being murdered and buried in the backyard.

I mention this because, last week, something way past scary happened. A little background ... we have two TVs and never should we touch each other’s, which is her rule not mine. She watches hers mostly at night with headphones on which is bliss for both of us. And, of course, the past few weeks we’ve been up until 2am watching the Olympics and loving it.

The other night, when we wanted to watch a dear family friend compete, we found out about five minutes beforehand that the race was on 9Now. I tried to find it on her TV at her request and pushed the wrong button. I lost all free-to-air channels and couldn’t get them back.

Old Mate is telling me what to do and my face was getting redder and redder. My blood pressure, I reckon, was about 200 over 100 and to say I was stressed was an understatement. I could find everything I didn’t need: Netflix, internet statements, terms and conditions, input data but no bloody TV! Old Mate was really cracking up, giving me a running commentary on how red my face was and what she will be like if she doesn’t have a TV. I have to say, I don’t scare easily – that’s why I look like I look – but I was terrified. Missing the race someone has trained for for three years was bad enough but Old Mate with no TV was a total disaster for yours truly on so many fronts.

As they say: “There by the grace of God go I” and I was preparing to meet my maker when all of a sudden I pushed a button and it came back on. Amen to that.

Ashley Robinson is chairman of Sunshine Coast Falcons and Sunshine Coast Thunder Netball and a lifetime Sunshine Coast resident.

M

ost of us consider ourselves reasonably savvy, generally good judges of situations and not easily duped. No one wants to feel like a dummy. And while I may have been called gullible once or twice in my personal life, I have never been a pushover in my commercial dealings – that is, until a recent fuel stop.

It started innocently enough. I was feeling pretty good that I had stumbled on an outlet with fuel for less than $2 a litre, pumped $150 of the liquid gold into the family vehicle and bounced in to pay. A loyalty points poster was on display, so I found the appropriate app on my phone as I waited in line, brandishing that and my eftpos card as I fronted the counter. The cashier matched my joyful mood, commenting on the sunny day. Spying my loyalty card, he whipped out two small packets of crisps with a flourish.

“You get these for free today!” he gushed. “Isn’t that great? And you are donating a little to the Jane McGrath Foundation in the process. See my pink shirt? We are supporting them and now you will be, too. It really is a great cause, isn’t it?”

I nodded, smiling with him. “Oh yes, a great cause,” I chimed. I looked briefly at the charity-branded chips, wondering whether My Beloved would eat them, but figured that any food for free tasted pretty good. I wondered how the fuel company could give me free chips and also donate to a charity, all for the price of my fuel, but I assumed they must just take a profit hit in the interest of looking good to the consumer.

But no. It turns out I bought the chips and in doing so, I supported the charity. Mr Sunbeam just made it all happen. You see, my loyalty card gave me 8 cents off a litre – bargain! – and Cheshire Cat cashier saw a loophole to shimmy through before I could say, “What’s going on here?”.

He leapt on my $6.32 saving like a seagull on a chip, using his cash register keys like a sword to carve off $5 for two packets of crisps, of which 20 cents apparently goes to the pink-branded charity eventually. I wandered back through the automatic doors in a daze, my head spinning and weirdly feeling grateful for the $1.32 saving I had somehow ended up with on my $150 spend.

Good thing the chips were tasty.

homegrown

Ingredients • 4 lamb shanks • 1 tbsp ras el hanout or Moroccan seasoning mix • 1 carrot, diced • 1 large onion, diced • 2 garlic cloves, crushed • 2 celery stalks, diced • 1/2 cup dried apricots • 2 tomatoes, chopped • 500 ml chicken/beef stock.

Plenty of spirited success

Method

Moroccan Lamb Shank Serves: 4 | Prep time: 15 minutes | Cook time: 2 hours A spiced lamb shank that is so tender, it falls off the bone. Aromatic with hints of sweetness from apricots, this is melt-in-the-mouth goodness.

This recipe and image are sourced from Seasons IGA. Find stores at Buderim, Caloundra, Cooroy, Maleny, Noosa and Yandina. Visit seasonsiga.com.au.

Easy swap You can substitute apricots for prunes, a or if sweet and ssavoury is not your thing, olives are a great substitute.

Nil Desperandum co-founders Michael Conrad and Matt Hobson (centre), with head distiller Adam Chapman (right)

1. Preheat the oven to 170C. 2. Massage lamb shanks with spice mix and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let it marinate for at least an hour.

3. In a heavy based pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook lamb shanks, turning regularly, until browned all over: about 5-6 minutes.

Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate.

4. Wipe the pan down before adding another drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrots, onions, garlic and celery and cook until softened, stirring occasionally.

Return the lamb shanks back to the pan, add the stock, dried apricots and the chopped tomatoes. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid and place in the oven for 1.5- 2 hours or until the shanks are tender.

5. Half an hour before the end, take the lid off and give it a stir before putting it back into the oven to brown and reduce.

Top tip – If the sauce has not reduced enough and the shanks are already tender, remove the lamb onto a plate, and return the pan back on high heat for 5-10 minutes to thicken, making sure to stir so that the base does not burn.

The region’s spirits industry is continuing to thrive with recent success for two local businesses.

Nil Desperandum Rum added to its list of accolades at the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards, taking out the prestigious Best Rum trophy.

The winning drop was Nil Desperandum’s The Double Ton: a limited edition of 169 bottles that was pot distilled and aged for three years in barrels emptied of bourbon and sherry. The Woombye distillery walked away from the event with a further 12 awards, including two gold, seven silver and three bronze.

Meanwhile Beachtree's Native Plum & Sloe Liqueur has been crowned Australia's best Liqueur at the prestigious Australian Distilled Spirits Awards.

This award-winning spirit is a blend of traditional sloe berries and luscious Ooray Davidson plums, carefully selected and infused in this liqueur. Crafted on-site at Caloundra West from Australian sugar cane, it features complex flavours of plum and cherry wrapped up in a velvety smooth finish.

Coffee lovers are in for a treat with one of the best-known local coffee roasters having recently opened its first retail space and espresso bar.

Tim Adams Specialty Coffee, which was founded in 2010 and supplies cafes throughout Australia, has opened the venture at Warana, with Pedro and Grizz Coffee Roasters.

The menu features all Tim Adams house blends and a rotating selection of more unique coffees.

Pedro and Grizz is the roasting arm of the operation, established in 2014, jointly owned by Tim and Katie Adams and James and Angela Pedrazzini.

Pedro (James) and Grizz (Tim) are responsible for sourcing, buying and roasting coffee for Tim Adams Specialty Coffee and other local coffee brands.

Mr Adams says he is excited about the new outlet.

“This is an incredible opportunity for us to showcase the extreme highquality and rare coffees we’ve sourced over the years,” he says.

“We are thrilled to finally open our doors and share our knowledge and passion with both our customers and wholesale partners.”

The espresso bar, located at 9 Machinery Avenue, also serves French pastries and sourdough crumpets.

RETIREE DISCOVERS HER PERFECT PLACE TO CALL HOME

R

etiree Sue Barker is excitedly counting down the days until she moves into her new home at Aveo’s Sunset Palms Retirement Living community in Palmview.

New residents are being welcomed this month as the first villas are completed in Stage 3 of the highly sought-after community. Ms Barker is relocating from a

large over-50s community to the more ‘intimate’ Sunset Palms.

“I had been living in a community with well over 200 homes and, after 10 years, it had become too big. I no longer knew the people living there,’’ she says.

“Sunset Palms will be perfect for me as it is small enough that I consider it an intimate community. I’m sure I’ll soon

know everyone by name. I looked at a lot of other retirement communities but then I visited Sunset Palms and loved it from that first day. The atmosphere is so relaxing and I felt at home.

“Construction on my villa is almost complete and has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a garage with a small, fenced backyard that my dog Benji will love.

“Moving from Caboolture means I’m closer to beaches, I have a son and his wife living in the hinterland and a special friend in Mooloolaba I’m keen to spend more time with. Nothing I need is far from here.’’

Sunset Palms sales manager Aimee King says residents are thriving in the close-knit community, enjoying their low-maintenance lifestyles.

“The vibrant community is perfectly situated 15 minutes from the sandy beaches of Mooloolaba and 20 minutes from the lush hinterlands and bustling shopping paradise of Sunshine Plaza,’’ Ms King says.

“With the added benefits of resort-style facilities, including an outdoor pool, gym, salon, function room, library, media room, bocce court and communal vegetable gardens, residents have everything on their doorstep. Stage 2 villas have now sold out and interest is high in the new stage, so I urge retirees not to delay if they want to be part of this friendly community.’’

Sunset Palms, in a private corner of the master-planned Harmony residential estate, is surrounded by 130ha of green space and walking trails. The community is located at 58 Harmony Boulevard, Palmview, with villas priced from $555,000.

Pets are welcome with prior approval. *Prices correct as of August 6, 2024.

FRESH TEAM DELIVERS NEW DIRECTION IN AGED CARE

T

James Rickards (back), Geoff Bland (front left) and Adam Parker

hree leadership appointments have bolstered the aged care and retirement living management team at Lutheran Services’ Immanuel Gardens community.

Now, the trio is encouraging others to join the sector for a rewarding career.

Adam Parker, manager for Immanuel Gardens Aged Care in Buderim, has been joined by retirement living manager Geoff Bland and home care and supported living manager James Rickards.

Mr Parker, who was appointed in October 2023, has worked extensively as a nurse in clinical settings and aged care, including 10 years in senior roles with a care provider in Tasmania.

He now oversees the management of Immanuel Gardens’ 145-bed aged care community with almost 200 staff, including nurses, personal carers, lifestyle support, maintenance and cleaners at the 35-hectare site.

“The three of us are still relatively new to our roles at the aged care and seniors living site and all relish the challenges and rewards,” Mr Parker says.

“I receive so much professional satisfaction when I see happy, smiling faces on residents who are receiving best-practice clinical care in a homely environment.

“We see the residents’ wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.

“It is a privilege to be involved in the lives of our seniors and I’d encourage anyone considering a career in aged care to make the move as the job satisfaction is huge.’’

Mr Bland supports about 140 retirees in the 93 independent residences at Immanuel Gardens.

“I enjoy getting to know the residents and hearing their incredible stories because they all come from different walks of life,” he says.

“Their stories and lives inspire me.

“Before landing in the retirement living industry, I worked in hospitality, including an RSL club in western Queensland frequented by my grandmother and her friends.

“It was there I began to appreciate the inspirational lives of seniors.”

Mr Rickards has a diverse background that includes seven years in the aged care industry and four years in leadership positions in home care services and supportive living.

He leads a growing team that delivers a range of home care services where support feels like family.

“It is so satisfying being able to deliver a high level of service to people as they age,” he says.

Immanuel Gardens Aged Care and Retirement Living is located at 8-10 Magnetic Drive, Buderim.

PALMWOODS IS THE PLACE FOR GOOD SPORTS TO FUEL THEIR PASSION Keen golfer Terry O’Day is spoiled for choice at GemLife Palmwoods.

While golf is a driving passion, the range of sporting facilities at the over-50s lifestyle resort in the Sunshine Coast hinterland means Terry also enjoys regular rounds of tennis and pickleball.

In the spirit of the Olympics, the resort is playing host to the GemLife Games in September. The two-day sporting competition invites residents from GemLife resorts from around Australia to compete in one of seven sports.

Having participated in the golf simulator competition last year, Terry now has his eye on a different sport.

“I thought this time I would try something different and having played tennis and table tennis for most of my life, they seemed like good options,” he says.

“A couple of us are trying to get our skill level up ... and that’s just to make our Palmwoods’ teams. It’s really competitive this year. Everyone wants to be involved and make a good impression on visiting teams.”

Terry says, tongue-in-cheek, that he is an untapped source who doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.

“I’d be an asset on a team – even just for the entertainment value alone,” he quips.

If you’re looking for a gold-medal lifestyle in a luxurious new home in a stunning location, make a time to inspect GemLife Palmwoods’ Premium Bush Outlook homes.

There are four exclusive home designs to select from,

EXPERIENCE THE BEST OF RETIREMENT LIVING ON THE SUNSHINE COAST

each featuring luxury upgraded inclusions, designer finishes and elevated decks created to optimise an impressive bush outlook aspect that puts nature at your fingertips.

Priced between $1.8-$2 million, these homes are located close to the newly opened multi-million-dollar Country Club and an elevated treetop boardwalk.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON HEARING AIDS If you have hit the mid-50s, one of the things you will have to face is the probable need for hearing help. The statistics do not lie.

If you are an Australian on a pension, you have access to a world-class hearing system funded by the government. You can get high-quality hearing services for no cost. That’s a good start.

The problem occurs when you have to run the gauntlet of retail hearing aid shops – most of which are foreign owned. As the consumer, you must do some research to make sure you get what you need and not what they want to sell you. Some hearing aid shops will immediately go for the highest-priced option. Some will not give you a choice of brands and models. Some will steer you away from the free devices available, or offer a lower-quality free device. Your needs are what needs to be met.

As the customer, you have a powerful weapon which you should use: get a second opinion. If the deal involves you making a decision immediately, step away. If it sounds way too expensive or if you are only given the choice of one brand of hearing aid, walk away. Always get a second opinion. If you can get it

INDUSTRY EXPERTS

from an independent clinic, even better.

Always get the hearing aid fitting done on a trial basis.

Hearing is a health issue, not a retail opportunity.

Cataract surgery like ‘out of a sci-fi movie’

Complementing the holistic care

When I first became an ophthalmic nurse 30-odd years ago, cataract surgery had recently undergone two major shifts in technology.

Those were the introduction of phacoemulsification and foldable lenses.

What this meant for the patient was a smaller incision, reduced hospital time, a quicker recovery and almost pain-free surgery.

Instead of a week in hospital with your head steadied between sandbags, only an overnight stay was necessary.

Nowadays, the machine and instruments performing the surgery, as well as the microscopes, would seem like something out of a science-fiction movie to my younger self.

Incisions are smaller, resulting in the surgery being sutureless. Patients can be in and out of hospital in a few hours.

The revolution in lens technology means we can now offer glassesfree vision.

These lenses are not only suitable for those with cataracts or presbyopia but often for people who don’t want to wear glasses or contact lenses.

Depending on lifestyle, some patients choose to still wear reading glasses.

I wonder what the next 30 years will bring!

Sunshine Coast Neurosurgery staff are happy to announce the newest addition to the team: Laura Perry, from Sports and Spinal.

Laura graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia and has since been working in rehabilitation centres and private practice.

Laura has developed a passion for lower back and spinal rehabilitation and brings a wealth of knowledge and dedication to the practice.

Her focus on enhancing mobility, function and overall quality of life complements the team’s commitment to providing comprehensive neurosurgical care.

Sunshine Coast Neurosurgery strives to offer the highest standard of patientcentred care, and Laura’s arrival is a testament to the ongoing dedication to clients’ wellbeing.

Laura will see patients in the lead-up to surgery and in the post-operative stages to ensure they receive a holistic approach to their neurosurgical journey.

Laura is now available for appointments in Sunshine Coast Neurosurgery’s new offices, located in Vitality Village, Birtinya.

Welcome to the team, Laura.

3D skin cancer imaging success

What’s new about dying in Queensland?

Joint decisions

Glaucoma & dementia

Finding melanoma isn’t always easy and some skin cancers can go undetected.

This is why methods for early detection are always evolving.

An evidenced method to help identify new or changing moles is digital medical imaging.

Abnormal growth or change are important indicators of developing melanoma. 3D Total Body Photography (TBP) is a highly detailed imaging system that integrates 92 cameras with advanced software to create a 3D avatar of the entire body.

Special lighting removes the skin’s reflection, creating full-body mole mapping in a few minutes.

TBP should be considered for monitoring people at high risk of melanoma, including those with many or irregular moles, as recommended by the Cancer Council (Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Melanoma, 2024).

If you don’t know your risk, or which ones are moles, we can help you during a skin check.

Detailed skin checks with experienced skin cancer doctors and 3D TBP are available at SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre.

No referral is needed.

Over the years, the law has adapted to generally give de facto relationships the same recognition and status as a marriage.

Until recently, however, a de facto relationship was not able to be included on a person’s death certificate.

The Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 2023 came into effect on June 24, 2024, to permit current and past de facto relationships to now be recorded.

Some other changes include: (a) The ability to record an alias – for example, if your name is John but you’ve always been known as ‘Jack’, your death certificate can reflect this; and (b) It is now possible to obtain a limited Death Certificate which does not include information regarding a person’s cause of death or burial/ cremation wishes.

If you don’t mind sharing these details, you can apply for a standard Death Certificate.

Also of interest is a change to the information recorded in a Birth Certificate.

A person’s gender will not be included on the Birth Certificate unless it is specifically requested.

Descriptors of gender are no longer limited to ‘male’ or ‘female’.

The forms reflect ‘the times’ in this ever-changing world.

Patients are often referred to me for joint replacement. I know patients want to be more involved with decisions. There is good evidence that when you involve patients in decisions, they are better quality decisions. Knowing more accurately the benefits and harms of all the options can lead to more conservative and less costly choices.

For most patients, joint replacements are for when pain and immobility are no longer acceptable, and the risks of a joint replacement are. Some patients have bone cancers or fractures for which there are few alternatives to a joint replacement.

Some are concerned that they have “bone on bone” but in discussion are not troubled by pain or poor mobility.

Some patients explain they do not want surgery, now is not a suitable time or they need other medical conditions stabilised. They are relieved to hear that there are many non-surgical treatments with lower risks and joint replacement is not a necessity.

A patient knows their goals best. As a surgeon, I share the best available evidence about the benefits, risks, costs, and uncertainties of surgical and nonsurgical treatment.

Joint replacement decisions should be joint decisions.

Recent studies have highlighted an association between glaucoma and an elevated risk of dementia.

Glaucoma, a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often leads to vision loss and blindness if untreated.

The optic nerve damage shares common pathological features with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia. Research indicates that individuals with glaucoma are more susceptible to developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. One hypothesis suggests that the same vascular and neurodegenerative processes affecting the eyes in glaucoma also impact the brain.

Reduced blood flow and compromised nerve cell function, characteristic of glaucoma, might contribute to cognitive decline. Additionally, both conditions involve similar risk factors, such as age, hypertension and diabetes.

The chronic stress and anxiety associated with vision impairment can exacerbate cognitive decline. The emotional burden of managing a progressive eye disease may lead to lifestyle changes, such as decreased social interaction and physical activity, which are known to influence dementia risk.

The emerging evidence underscores the importance of regular eye exams, holistic health management, plus early detection and treatment.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

Are you procrastinating about which project to pursue? A bored and unengaged ram is a recipe for trouble. With the full moon activating your aspirations’ zone, you’re keen to act with plenty of energy and enthusiasm.

With Mercury reversing through your domestic zone, you’ll feel like cleaning, decluttering and rearranging your living space.

But Venus (your ruling planet) is making tricky aspects to Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, so expect a busy and bamboozling time.

Mars (the proactive planet) and Jupiter (the confidence planet) are transiting through your sign.

So – even though Mercury’s retro – it’s time to be your authentic self. If you don’t accept yourself (warts and all) then why should anyone else?

The full moon focus is firmly on money matters. Crabs have a good business brain so make sure you’re using it. If you can get the balance right between being canny with cash and entrepreneurial with ideas, then you could really go places.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

With Mercury reversing through your sign – and Uranus squaring your ruler, the sun – you’ll go to extremes as the planets press your ‘Let’s overdo everything’ button. But resist the temptation to be a right royal bossy-boots.

Try being charming instead.

Many practical, sensible Virgos are set for a chaotic and challenging week. Mercury is reversing through your solitary zone and the Jupiter/Saturn square complicates close relationships. Slow down, re-evaluate and reboot.

This week, Venus (your patron planet) squares Jupiter/Mars and opposes Saturn. If you are attached, the two of you will be under increased stress. Don’t panic. Use the time to work on the relationship in a patient and productive way.

Expect professional problems or domestic dramas, as the full moon and retro Mercury stir up old grievances. Use your diplomatic talents to help find solutions.

However, if you just sit back and let others make decisions, you’ll feel powerless.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

Many Archers are restless for adventure. But with Mercury still reversing through your travel zone until August 28–29, be careful your fiery, impatient nature doesn’t land you in hot water. Cautious Saturn is also squaring Jupiter (your patron planet).

This week Mercury is still retrograde, the full moon highlights financial matters and Saturn (your ruling planet) squares Jupiter, which could push your predilection for criticism and perfectionism to the max. Calm down – and don’t take everything so seriously.

This week, one half of you wants to snuggle up close with someone special – while the other half longs to be footloose and fancy-free. Try to find the sweet spot between companionship and independence and resist the urge to be deliberately controversial.

Mercury is reversing through your daily routine zone and the full moon lights up your mystery/ secrets zone. Many fish are set for a frustrating and confusing week. The best way to handle the ensuing chaos is to slow down and relax.

DATA SHOWS TIGHT VACANCY RATES ARE CONTINUING Noosa and Sunshine Coast record more substantial improvements for the quarter than the statewide average.

V

acancy rates have edged up slightly across Queensland, data released recently from the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) shows, but the peak body warns that the broader outlook remains concerning.

Of the 50 local government areas and sub regions covered in the REIQ’s Residential Vacancy Rate Report for the June 2024 Quarter, half (25 areas) had a lift in vacancies, 12 were unchanged, and 13 tightened further compared with the previous quarter.

The statewide vacancy rate rose ever so slightly to one per cent (compared with 0.9 per cent in the March quarter), assisted by more substantial rises in coastal areas such as Noosa, the Sunshine Coast and hinterland, Maroochy coast and Caloundra coast.

As promising as the quarter-toquarter results sound, REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella warns that the vast majority (47) of the areas had vacancy rates classified as ‘tight’, with only two ‘healthy’, and one ‘weak’.

“A healthy vacancy rate is one that sits between 2.6 per cent to 3.5 per cent

36

Kumbada Court MINYAMA

and that’s virtually unheard of at the moment in Queensland,” Ms Mercorella says.

“In our state’s capital city, just 1.2 per cent of properties were available and remained advertised for rent for more than three weeks over the quarter – and

this places it above average.

“We are not painting a picture of good health in our state when it comes to balancing rental demand with supply, and we know competition is particularly intensified at the highly sought-after, more affordable end of the market.

“Tight vacancy rates indicate that there’s not enough rental properties coming up for rent, possibly due to tightly held leases which are being renewed at the end of the agreement rather than being returned to the market.

“In tight markets that have a severe shortage of properties, if an advertised rental property isn’t moving relatively quickly, it suggests that there could be a mismatch between what it offers and the needs of those looking for a place to live.

“It’s important to talk to your property manager about why your property may be sitting vacant for longer and that may mean making improvements or meeting the market.”

The biggest improvement in the rate over the quarter was recorded in Noosa (+0.7 per cent), followed by the Scenic Rim, Sunshine Coast, hinterland and Maroochy coast which all eased by +0.4 per cent, and the Caloundra coast which each lifted by +0.3 per cent. However, the rises in these markets might be seasonal, and the December Quarter 2024 data will reveal if the trend is holding.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Neil deGrasse Tyson speaking with fellow scientist Brian Greene from Columbia University approach the subject of connected worm holes in the fabric of The Universe. Yep, the theory is the whole universe is connected. I guess proving this might take another 100 years but will explain a lot of things that currently don’t make sense.

Go and watch on YouTube, but as another scientist within the conversation stated, you might want to smoke a bit of weed to relax your brain!
