AGENDA

THE SOCIAL AGE With kids dodging age limits to access social media, the online watchdog has ordered tech giants to reveal the number of children on their sites.

S

ocial media companies are facing pressure to reveal how many Australian children are using their platforms.

Google, Facebook’s parent company Meta, TikTok, Reddit, Discord, Twitch and Snap must answer a series of questions from the online safety watchdog about the number of children on their platforms and the age assurance measures used to prevent access by under-aged kids.

Most of these sites have their own age limits to prevent children under 13 from using social media.

But one in four children aged eight to 10 used social media at least once a week and almost half of all 11 to 13-yearolds accessed the sites at the same rate, according to eSafety research.

Commissioner Julie Inman Grant says legally imposed age limits are on the table, but notes the online sphere offers some benefits to teenagers. She says more must be understood of the potential

effectiveness and unintended consequences of any restrictions.

“To ensure the safety of young Australians, we need to provide them – and their parents, carers and educators – with effective education and prevention strategies,” she says.

“It cannot all fall on the shoulders of kids, parents and teachers – industry need to play their part too.”

The eight social media companies will have 30 days to provide their responses to the eSafety Commissioner.

Internet access has become an increasing concern with two in three teenagers aged 14 to 17 having viewed content of drug use, self-harm, violence and other harmful content in the past year.

The federal government has provided $6.5 million for a pilot program of ageassurance technology, but Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says age requirements must be proven to work. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has vowed to ban

children under 16 accessing social media should the coalition win the next election.

My Weekly Preview caught up with University of the Sunshine Coast senior lecturer and researcher in the field of psychology, Rachael Sharman, for her insight into the issue.

What are the primary cognitive and emotional impacts of social media on children and adolescents, especially those aged eight to 13?

Social media is run via algorithms, often marketing-based, so teens are not being presented with a true picture of what their peers think/believe. They are more often being fed an echo chamber and commercial marketing. Interestingly, ages 11 to 15 have been highlighted as a sensitive or critical period of brain development when it comes to peerbased/outside influences.

What are the main challenges associated with enforcing age limits on social media platforms, and how might these be overcome?

I think this needs to be considered as a long-term cultural change. We have a template to operate from in the form of smoking. Once considered a rite of passage, with cigarettes legally available to 16-yearolds, over the past 40 years, continued legal barriers to smoking have finally resulted in a cultural shift away from this addiction.

And just like tobacco companies, we can expect a range of similar strategies from social media companies to obstruct any attempt to limit children from becoming hooked on their product.

Commissioner Julie Inman Grant mentioned the benefits of online engagement for teenagers. What are some of these benefits, and how can they be balanced with the potential risks?

This is interesting; so-called “benefits” keep getting mentioned, such as

Dr Rachael Sharman connection and contact between likeminded teens. However, the evidence of wide-ranging benefits is pretty thin. Online “friendship” connections tend to be quite shallow and not comparable to in-real-life friendships. They also tend to favour teens who are having difficulty forming in-reallife friendships.

With the prevalence of harmful content such as drug use and self-harm among teenagers, what strategies can be employed to protect young users from exposure to such material?

I’m not sure there’s a great deal that can practically be achieved in this area once a teen has access, which is probably why government is considering an all-out social media ban for under 16s.

How do you anticipate social media platforms will evolve, and what should researchers and policy makers focus on to address emerging issues related to children and adolescents?

There will be an enormous pushback from social media platforms to get around bans. The younger they can hook children, the better consumers they become. Again, just look at big tobacco companies 40 years ago and watch for similar strategies, but likely in a more passive-aggressive fashion than previous decades.

FAST FACTS

Sahara’s green past

Did you know?

Historic highlights

Lake Baikal in Siberia is the world’s deepest and oldest lake, estimated to be around 25 million years old. It contains about 20 per cent of the world’s unfrozen freshwater, more than all the Great Lakes combined. Remarkably clear, its waters allow visibility of up to 40 meters. Lake Baikal is also home to thousands of unique species, including the Baikal seal, the only freshwater seal species in the world.

By the numbers The Sahara Desert, known for its vast, arid landscapes, was once a lush, green paradise.

It might be difficult to believe, but around 10,000 years ago, the desert was home to rivers, lakes and abundant wildlife. Ancient cave paintings found in the region depict a place filled with elephants and giraffes. The shift to the desert we see today was caused by gradual changes in the Earth’s tilt, leading to a more arid climate over millennia.

Quote of the week

In 1859, Australia became home to one of the most notorious biological invasions when 24 rabbits were introduced for hunting. The rabbits multiplied, and within a few decades, their population reached the millions. This led to one of the world’s largest pest control efforts, including the construction of the 1833-kilometre-long ‘rabbit-proof fence’ designed to keep the rabbits out of Western Australia.

Today in history – September 12 1943 – The Gran Sasso Raid is conducted by the German paratroopers at the behest of Hitler. The purpose of the airborne operation, also known as Operation Eiche, was to free Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from a ski resort where he was being held on the orders of the Italian king, Victor Emmanuel III. 1970 – The Soviet Union launches the Luna 16. It was the first robotic probe to land on the moon and return to Earth with rock samples. Luna 16 landed back on Earth on September 24.

That’s how many islands Japan has.

1974 – A coup in Ethiopia ousts Emperor Haile Selassie. The coup was led by the Derg, a group of the Ethiopian armed forces and other law enforcement agencies of the country. After the coup, Selassie was imprisoned. He later died on August 28, 1975. Selassie is also often considered to be a messiah by those who follow Rastafarianism, a religious belief that originated in Jamaica.

COVER STORY

Diane Cheal.

Images: Sarah Ash

AT HOME AMONG THE MACADAMIA TREES Diane Cheal traded a career in academia for her love of the land and dedication to growing Australia’s favourite nut. WORDS: Amber O’Dell.

W

hen wandering through an orchard of flowering macadamia trees and watching native bees dart through the filtered afternoon sunlight, it’s easy to see why Diane Cheal left behind a life in the city to join her dad on the farm.

Beginning her career in academia, Diane completed a post-graduate degree and spent many years in Brisbane writing higher education curriculum for universities. But, as Diane so eloquently puts it, once a farmer’s daughter, always a farmer’s daughter.

“The more I worked in the city, the more I started to realise that walking around under macadamia trees is what I really enjoy the most. It feeds your soul,” she tells My Weekly Preview.

“My dad bought the farm when he was in his twenties. It was originally a pineapple farm, but about two decades ago, he started putting in macadamia trees. Now, we’ve pulled out all of the pineapples and just farm macadamias.”

Diane and her father, Graeme Cheal,

thoughtfully tend to 4500 trees in the Sunshine Coast hinterland – the ancestral home of the macadamia tree. Native to Australia, macadamias grow best with consistent sunshine, reliable rainfall, and high-quality soil in a sub-tropical climate, making Diane and Graeme’s farm in Beerwah especially bountiful.

As educated and considerate farmers who prefer more natural agricultural methods, Diane says they are conscientious about trying to work with the land, not against it.

“One of the ways we do this is by making our own organic compost once a year. After our tree’s branches are lopped off, their trimmings get turned into wood chips and combined with some other secret herbs and spices.

“We mix it for a few months until it turns into really great feed for the macadamia trees. Under the tree and within the roots, the bugs, fungi, worms, and other good microorganisms are all fed by this compost. So that’s a lovely thing to do for the tree.”

Bees also play an important role in the production of macadamia nuts. In fact, many species of native stingless bees have been pollinating macadamia trees in the wild for thousands of years. To improve their harvest, Diane and Graham built 400 hives by hand, allowing native bee species to frolic around the macadamias during

“I love that most days I get to walk under the shade of the macadamia trees” peak flowering season in September.

In addition to Australian native stingless bees, Diane says they also have a beekeeper who visits the farm with European honeybees.

“These two species don’t seem to bother each other, and while the honeybees don’t pollinate as well as the

natives, they both do different things for the trees and work really well together.

“The native stingless bees are especially important to us because they help to create a really good nut yield.

“We’re quite interested in exploring other ways to help pollinate the macadamia flowers. We have bees, but we’ve also got a few different colonies of microbats. At the moment, we actually have a research student on the farm doing her thesis on what specific breeds of microbats eat.

“Microbats are quite interesting animals – not only do they help get rid of the mosquitoes everywhere on the farm, but they also aid in the ecology and pollination of our macadamia trees as well.”

Of course, farmers know the unpredictability of nature more than anyone, with Diane and Graeme experiencing their fair share of ups and downs. In March 2022, their property was hit by an intense and violent hailstorm.

While the uproar lasted under half an hour, it devastated their farm, with more myweeklypreview.com.au

COVER STORY

Graeme & Diane Cheal than 500 trees being uprooted and even flipped upside down.

In that short period of time, a full year’s crop of custard apples and avocados were lost, in addition to countless macadamias being knocked to the ground a month before they should’ve been.

Diane says the wonderful thing that happened after that, however, was the number of selfless macadamia farmers who dropped their tools, picked up their chainsaws, volunteered their staff, and drove over in utes to lend a hand over a series of four days.

“It was so heart-warming in the midst of this terrible tragedy. I think farmers, as a whole, really want to help others succeed.

“That’s the lovely thing about being in this industry. The weather is always going to be an inconsistent long-term friend for any farmer, so we all have to roll with the punches and help each other out.

“Sometimes it’s going to be raining when you have to pick up nuts, so you’re going to be sitting on a tractor in the rain getting wet, and it’s very uncomfortable and cold. Other times, you have to do work within a heat wave, but that’s farming.

“I think if you talk to anyone, regardless of what crop or animal they farm, they’ll tell you the same thing – we’re at the weather’s mercy, and you can’t

fight that. It’s not a challenge so much as a begrudging acceptance that there’s something bigger than us at play.”

After naturally falling off the trees, Diane and Graeme collect the macadamia nuts, remove their outside husks, and then ship the raw material to Nutworks for processing.

Situated in Yandina, Nutworks has long been one of Australia’s premier macadamia nut processing plants and, in more recent times, has built a global reputation for delicious and innovative macadamia nut products sourced from local and sustainable farms across Australia.

Diane says they have a wonderful relationship with Nutworks, as they also support a myriad of other macadamia farmers in the area.

“Nutworks has always been good to us. We often get visited by Chris Fuller, the company’s macadamia grower liaison.

“He’s an entomologist and an agronomist and takes a keen interest in the way things are farmed, from what we are feeding our trees and the different sprays we use to the cycle of the local bugs.

“I love having Nutworks as our support team. It means a lot to have heartfelt people who you can count on.

Farmers are a very good, honest, genuine, and helpful bunch, but we’re also quite

isolated. Nutworks gives us the opportunity to meet, discuss, and compare notes with a group of likeminded individuals who share a common purpose and goal. The people I’ve met through Nutworks are the salt of the earth.

They not only take interest in you as a farmer but also as a human being.”

A macadamia tree takes five years to grow before it is ready to harvest, and so the premium macadamia nuts many of us snack on at home are the result of years of thoughtful propagation from macadamia growers.

While some nuts have their shells removed and are roasted, flavoured, or used for confectionery, others are used for macadamia oil or sold with their shells still on.

Diane says that macadamia nuts are a good source of healthy fats, kind of like an avocado, and are an incredible plant-based food full of nutrients and antioxidants.

“Every now and then, we get invited to a great big function held by the Australian Macadamia Society.

“They make the most incredible assortment of cakes and slices, each made with macadamias that come from Aussie farms like ours. They’re all so delicious.

“Macadamias are such a versatile nut to use, not only in baking but also in savoury dishes.

“I think one of the coolest ways Nutworks has used our crop is when they released my personal favourite – chocolate-covered macadamias coated in 24-carat gold.

“That was beautiful, and I just had so much fun opening the bag. I’ve never eaten anything else covered in gold, but I would imagine everything tastes better that way.”

Diane and Graeme’s macadamia trees are currently nearing the end of their harvesting season and are just starting to flower due to the plentiful rainfall in the region. For next year, Diane says they are going to be focusing on planting more trees, taking care of the soil and supporting the orchard’s bountiful crop.

“Once the nuts start to come into season and after we’ve finished picking them up off the ground, it’s time for us to feed the earth and be really, really good to the ground and the soil,” she says.

“I simply love that, most days, I get to walk under the shade of the macadamia trees. I’ve worked in retail, and I’ve worked in academia, but now I get to work on the earth. I get to see nature at its finest, loudest, and most brash.

“I get to see kangaroos, cockatoos, worms, butterflies and bees. It’s so lovely, and it’s where I belong. Just me, the trees, and my dad.”

The festival opens with a key event,

‘Sconversations’, presented by Martin Duncan (aka the Sunshine Coast Foodie).

Find out from foodie authors how to write your own cookbook over cups of tea with scones, jam and cream.

Afterwards, join two of Australia’s most exciting fantasy writers, Stacey McEwan and AK Mulford, at a fantasy-themed launch party at Nambour’s Tramco.

At the weekend, pop up to Maleny for a comprehensive young readers and writers program. There will also be a rom-com author’s high tea, speed date with an author, poetry slam and loads more events.

Join multi-award-winning Australian crime writer Candice Fox at a long table lunch on the Sunday from 11am to 1.30pm at Mapleton Public House. Candice’s novels Crimson Lake and Redemption Point were adapted into a major ABC TV series called Troppo. Her latest books are Devil’s Kitchen and High Wire. Bookings essential.

Another standout event will be Showdown at Tramco, where budding screenwriters or film enthusiasts can learn how to write a short film or documentary – and be inspired by watching short films.

Showdown was co-founded by Powderfinger’s Jon Coghill, former US Survivor producer Dan Munday and the Sunshine Coast Screen Collective.

‘IT’S NOT ENOUGH’ The recent changes to knife laws alone won’t stop violence, says the father of slain Sunshine Coast teen Balin Stewart. WORDS: Lucinda Dean.

F

ather of Coast teen Balin Stewart, who died on January 20, 2022, after being stabbed during a physical altercation outside his family home, says the recent amendments to Jack’s Law, which bans the sale of knives to minors, is “common sense”.

Michael Stewart says while the overhaul

to the law is greatly needed, it’s not going to fix the youth knife crime crisis.

It is now unlawful for Queensland retailers to sell knives to anyone under the age of 18. The amendments, which came into play on September 1, also state that age-restricted items have to be clearly labelled and retailers must securely store

controlled items such as double-edged knives, tomahawks, machetes and axes.

Police metal detection wanding operations have expanded to now include shopping centres, sports precincts, licensed premises, entertainment venues and high-risk retail outlets where there have been prior offences.

Balin, 16, died from a single fatal stab wound to the heart during a brawl with another teen. In June 2023, the accused pleaded not guilty to murder. The Brisbane Supreme Court heard that the accused teen had taken the weapon from his kitchen and drove the five kilometres to Balin’s house because of jealousy over a girl.

The defendant was 19 when he was sentenced to seven years in jail for manslaughter under the Youth Justices Act, however, in Queensland, juveniles only have to serve 50 per cent of their sentence.

“I ask any parent out there, if their son was taken in such a brutal way, and you watch your son die in your arms, do you think three-and-a-half years is enough?”

Michael says an overhaul of the Act “is greatly needed” and that education and rehabilitation programs should be mandatory for juvenile prisoners.

Michael alleges that the accused had a known history of threatening knife violence.

He believes that the “dobber” stigma among Australian teens needs to be addressed. “I

truly believe if there was police intervention early and they [the kids] told somebody, Balin would probably be alive today.”

Seven weeks after Balin passed, Michael and his wife Kerri-Lyn started the #BinTheBladeForBalin movement, and six months on, established The Balin Stewart Foundation with the aim of raising awareness of and education around the risk posed by knives.

Michael has conducted more than 60 school presentations, speaking directly to 3000 students.

“I get the students to feel the pain that we went through and then talk about some corrective behaviours,” he says.

“Over 60 per cent of kids who carry a knife carry it for protection; 30 per cent carry it for notoriety and unfortunately, 10 per cent carry it to cause harm.

“When you look at those statistics, 90 per cent of kids don’t ever want to hurt anybody. But a really scary statistic is that 70 per cent of all juvenile knife injuries occur when the knife is turned back on the person carrying the knife.”

To honour what would have been Balin’s 19th birthday, the foundation is holding A Balin Forever Festival on Saturday, September 28 at The Station, Birtinya. Popular electro-house group The Potbelleez will headline.

Tickets are $58 via moshtix.com.au.

HOPE FOR THOUSANDS With the help of generous community support, the Wishlist charity can continue to save thousands of lives, just like Karen’s.

W

hen Kingaroy mother-ofthree Karen Quickenden suffered a severe stroke at the wheel, a police patrol car had to intervene to bring her swerving car to a stop.

Karen was unable to move or speak as emergency services worked to cut the 42-year-old free and rush her to Kingaroy Hospital.

Eight hours after the initial stroke, Karen underwent an emergency clot retrieval process at Brisbane’s Princess

Alexandra Hospital.

Karen’s stroke caused damage to the left side of her brain, which has affected her right arm and leg.

Three weeks after the accident, Karen was transferred to Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH). Her journey to recovery began that day and has been ongoing for the past two years.

She spent two months as an inpatient at SCUH, undergoing extensive rehabilitation, including speech therapy, physiotherapy and accessing other essential services.

Karen is working tirelessly to regain her ability to walk and talk and remains hopeful of achieving more movement in her right arm and fingers.

Eldest daughter Tamisha says: “My biggest fear was if she was never going to speak again – it’s almost like a jail sentence in your own body.

“You do wonder if it would have been different if she was closer to a major city when this happened – time is of the essence.”

One in four people will suffer a stroke in their lifetime and regional Australians are 17 per cent more likely to experience stroke than those in metro areas. Each year, more than 850 strokes will happen in the Sunshine Coast region.

Karen’s story highlights the desperate need for a clot retrieval machine at SCUH, which could lessen the severity of disability for stroke survivors. Every minute a stroke goes undetected, 1.9 million neurons die.

Sunshine Coast charity Wishlist is fundraising for the biplane unit, which will allow stroke specialists to see 3D images of blood vessels in the brain in real time, giving stroke victims the best chance for recovery.

Wishlist’s Spring Carnival fundraiser last Friday raised an impressive $344,379 of its $600,000 target to fund the new machine.

Make a tax-deductible donation at wishlist.org.au or phone 5202 1777.

TAKING STEPS FOR GOOD Eleven-year-old Nate Nelson has taken raising $15,000 for young adults with a disability and autism all in his stride. The Sunshine Coast Grammar School student raised the funds over two years by walking more than 50 kilometres in the steps for STEPS fundraising events.

Nate was named STEPS Group’s first STEPS Pathways Young Ambassador for supporting STEPS Pathways College.

The college is the first and only boarding college for people with disabilities and autism in Australia. It helps its students learn independent living skills.

Managing director of STEPS Group, Carmel Crouch, introduced Nate to the crowd at the non-profit’s 2024 Grand Winter Ball to officially recognise his support and hard work. “I am proud to recognise Nate’s incredible commitment to STEPS Pathways College and our students,” she says.

The warmer weather has arrived significantly earlier this year. Our green spaces are already seeing increased grass growth as a result. In response, council is transitioning to its spring mowing schedule earlier. The parks and gardens team manage more than 1450 hectares of open spaces, which includes 3512 mowing sites – or, to put that in perspective – 933 NRL fields. It’s an amazing effort and logistical feat! Make sure you give the team a friendly wave next time you see them out cutting the grass.

Lisa Rowe, Wishlist CEO

GIVE THE GIFT OF TIME Time. The great leveller.

Never does it matter more than when we know it’s limited.

With the onset of a stroke, every second means the difference between days in hospital as opposed to months; weeks spent recovering rather than years; a full recovery as opposed to the lingering side effects of oxygen deprivation on the brain – lives saved rather than lost.

We’re asking you, Sunshine Coast families, to help us buy time. Precious time for the more than 850 locals to suffer a stroke in the next year, who will benefit from the hour or so saved when they access a local clot retrieval service, as opposed to being sent to Brisbane.

Help us buy time and the equipment needed, which will cost Wishlist $600,000.

We committed, the health service agreed to match it, and in doing so, we’ll fast-track a new clot retrieval service at

Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

The generous efforts of a proactive community have enabled Wishlist to streamline and enhance local public health services – the hospitals and health centres we each rely on at some point in time. We’ve influenced the way patients are cared for and facilitated access to services not available in their regions.

In providing equipment for the likes of ear, nose and throat, ophthalmology, paediatric and cancer services, we’ve started services locally that our families would otherwise have had to go to Brisbane for.

We’ve kept families together when they needed to be most and been the catalyst for positive change in a pretty damn good, but never perfect, public health system.

We don’t buy into politics, nor do we play the blame game. In a perfect world – with enough money for everything and everyone – there would be no need for Wishlist or the other 61,156 charities across Australia.

The reality is that regardless of who’s in charge or how well the economy is faring, we’ll always have work to do.

Thanks to you, our spectacularly generous, proactive community, we’ll continue to make things better across all aspects of local health – for the sake of each of our families.

Thanks for all you do for Wishlist.

MY OPINION

I

AI, POLITICS AND THE WAY WE WORK

CONNECTION: LET’S DO BETTER

As politicians continue to tinker with laws around work and justice, Ashley Robinson asks, are we setting ourselves up for future failures?

Jane Stephens is reminding us all about the importance of caring, communicating and asking one simple question – ‘R U OK?’

don’t like to say I told you so, but for about a decade I have been banging on about politicians and civil libertarians watering down our justice system, in particular youth justice.

And look where we have ended up – it is a disaster with a whole bunch of fingerprints on it. There are lots of reasons. When you think about it, it probably starts with a lack of support for teachers. Same could be said for police, too – talk about a cluster?

So what have we learned? Currently, the state opposition is making the right noises but also has a long way to go to implement what has been promised if the party is elected. After all, there will be a whole lot of pushback from people who know people in the system.

As I asked: What have we learned about politicians changing the rules? Not much, it seems, with the latest legislation about clerks working from home, whether their boss okays it or not. In addition, they can’t ring any employee outside of work hours.

Are we serious?

Some of the rhetoric around this that is already talked about in the award is flexible

hours – start and finish times that suit, rest breaks, meal breaks and working hours in a non-continuous manner. The list goes on.

What could possibly go wrong with this?

Seriously. In 10 years, after various businesses have gone broke because of litigation and lack of a human being in the business, we will all be looking back and asking, “ What happened here?”, which is what we are doing now about youth crime.

Let me give you a couple of possible scenarios for staff permanently working from home. On their way to their computer, they trip over the mower that was running and lacerate their foot. In actual fact, they were mowing the lawn. But hey, who can prove they were? The poor old boss? I imagine work cover also covers you on the way to and from work, so that is another can of worms. Tripped in the shower and did an ACL when in fact they were kicking a footy in the backyard?

In my view, we are opening the door wider and wider for artificial intelligence. It would cure the whole non-human approach to work. Maybe a whole bunch of bots would get the job done in parliament as well. Scary hey?

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

L

et’s be a little kinder this week. Let’s reach over to someone who seems a little down or who would just benefit from a bit of human caring.

This week includes two awareness days: World Suicide Prevention Day and R U OK? Day. Together, they elevate the importance of caring and connecting with others and remind us there are still far too many people who feel they cannot go on.

They remind us that all lives matter and that loneliness and isolation can be as debilitating as disease and injury. The good news is evidence shows we can all help simply by reaching over and connecting.

Weeks like this one should remind us that just like a broken bone mends or a virus passes, tough times do not last and sadness eases. Sometimes, we just need some help to get through.

The adage is true: when one door closes, another will open – but it can be lonely and isolating in the hallway.

Psychologist Dr Helen Stallman and I recently had a paper published in Pacific Journalism Review: Te Koakoa in which we considered the use of words in public communications around mental illness and

suicide. We found that despite having media guidelines to try to prevent harm for more than 25 years, the suicide rate in Australia is still shockingly high – far more people die this way than on our roads.

Health experts view suicide as a preventable cause of death. We know from research and the sharing of survivors’ experiences that it is too often a permanent response to temporary problems.

We must do better, and words really matter because they affect perceptions of difficulties. We need to remove the language of blame, we should normalise distress and promote healthy coping strategies.

For example, many people feel sad at various stressful points in their lives – it can be a natural response to loss. Let’s not confuse that with Major Depressive Disorder. It is important we call things what they are.

Let’s stop pathologising unpleasant emotions. And, most of all, let’s try to care and connect with those around us: it might help to keep them safe.

Q: Describe your cooking style or the cuisine you specialise in.

A. I love cooking approachable, seasonal food that allows the produce to shine. I’ve worked in various venues, from your ma and pa pizza shop all the way to city high-end fine dining. I’m inspired by cuisines all over the world.

Q: What is your favourite dish on the menu right now?

A. Avocado hash! You can’t beat housemade hashbrowns, fried haloumi and local avocados on the same plate.

Q: Do you have a favourite local ingredient to work with?

A. Local avocados, for sure. They are a way better product, creamier, bigger and have way more flavour. Plus, we get to support a grower 20 minutes from the Coast.

Q: What do you love most about your role?

A. The location. You can’t beat working a dozen steps from the beach. I want to offer relatable cuisines and everybody from all walks of life to be able to enjoy the venues. One of our goals is to give higher-end, quality products at an affordable price point.

Q: What do you love to cook at home?

A. Anything I can grow or harvest myself. I love hunting, fishing and have my own veggie garden. It’s hard to beat venison steaks and homegrown veg!

It’s all about the coffee at tj’s coffee corner, located in (but independent from) Cycle Zone bike store on Brisbane Road, Mooloolaba.

You’ll receive a fabulous coffee, plus Lani has a little something for everyone. Those with a sweet tooth can choose from a selection of delectable Byron Bay cookies, protein balls and fresh pastries.

Or, if you need something refreshing, there is cold-pressed juice and even a savoury snack option. Psst … you can enjoy your hot cup of ‘joe’ comfortably on the cushioned chairs while your partner browses the bike store. Or, why not grab a takeaway coffee, as the spot is only a two-minute walk to Mooloolaba Beach.

Pets are more than welcome. Lani even caters to your four-legged friends with puppychinos and heart-shaped, pumpkin dog treats.

Outside on the dirty street, kids kicked a footy. Inside, we mended holes in the mosquito net. That memory stems back 17 years. We had just arrived in Nairobi, Kenya, with a backpack, the Lonely Planet and wild ideas of owning a safari company.

I was from a farm in Western Australia and Steve from a UK city. As fate would have it, we met while teaching in Kuwait. It was Steve who seeded the idea of trying something different, and with no other commitments, what was there to lose?

Steve had taught in Tanzania. So, armed with knowledge of the country and inspired by wildlife and iconic names like the Serengeti, we took a leap of faith.

Our families were understandably horrified, though mine were quietly confident I would soon return.

We landed in hot, bustling Nairobi and several crowded bus rides later, we found a cheap little guest house in a lively street.

Armed with our Lonely Planet, we set out to visit every safari company in the city.

The plan was to work for a Kenyan company, preferably managing a camp, get to know the industry and then set up our own company in Tanzania.

My idea of camping was a small leaky tent, a swag, billy tea and cooking over an open fire. It was a far stretch from the reality of today’s luxury safari.

With no experience, no Swahili and no work permit, we were continually overlooked. Perseverance paid off; eventually, a struggling company plucked us from the street and offered us a job managing a lodge in the Maasai Mara.

Crammed into a minivan along with the lodge’s supplies, the road to the Mara wound its way through a landscape dotted with mud hut villages. We embraced the change and navigated the challenges.

Two years later, in Tanzania, we opened our safari company, The Infinite Horizon. A far cry from tiny tents, swags and billy tea, for more than 20 years, our luxury safaris have continued to provide unforgettable experiences to clients of all ages.

In particular, Kylie Border from Friends of the Gallery, Gaile Lillico from the Caloundra Business Alliance, Brady Sullivan, CEO of Caloundra Chamber of Commerce and Kendall Morton, LNP Candidate for Caloundra. Each spoke so passionately about Caloundra and the importance of our city centre’s much-awaited revitalisation.

We were first introduced to this concept at a community event held by then Division 2 Councillor Tim Dwyer at the BreakFree Resort in 2016.

The support for this project was huge and has only multiplied since. It’s great to see the first part of the project – a new library – being built.

Travelling and exploring will enrich your mind and soul, offering new perspectives, it breaks your every day routine and gives you something to look forward to!

It fosters creativity, reduces stress and strengthens your resilience by adapting to new environments.

Paul Rickard - Explorer Owner of Helloworld Travel Caloundra

Snow Hill Island . As we approach this remote, inaccessible region, the anticipation builds, knowing we are about to encounter one of natures most majestic creatures.

Experiencing diverse cultures and landscapes broadens your understanding and empathy, leading to personal growth and lifelong memories.

We walked on the ice for 1.5km to witness thousands of the elusive Emperor Penguins and babies, in their natural habitat, a rare and awe-inspiring sight few have the privilege to experience.

I can honestly tell you, it is the highlight of my Travelling Career.

Let me share a story; I was travelling on the world’s only Luxury Ice Breaker, Le Commandant Charcot in the icy wonderland of Antarctica.

You can also be an Explorer, the Antarctica Expeditions to Antarctica and Snow Hill Island are now available for travel in November 2025.

WORD STEP

_____ _____ _____ _____ MIXED

TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

Impatient rams are keen to share information and ideas with family, friends and colleagues. But Saturn slows progress and Neptune confuses communication. Sunday is super for making plans to transform your career or rev up your daily routine.

An unreliable relative or acquaintance could lead you astray, so keep your realism radar set on high and avoid getting caught up in dubious schemes.

You’re learning some valuable friendship lessons, as Saturn stirs up your peer group zone.

Taskmaster Saturn and nebulous Neptune could suck the wind out of your sails, especially at home or work. And you may feel disappointed or confused. Don’t despair and give up, Gemini. Get your creative juices flowing in imaginative new directions.

With Mars charging through your sign, crabs are raring to go. The partial lunar eclipse supermoon, sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are all activating your travel and education zones, so it’s time to make plans for a future trip or a new course of study.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

It’s a big week for colourful cats.

On Tuesday night/Wednesday, there’s a partial lunar eclipse supermoon in your intimacy/ secrets/trust zone. And Thursday/ Friday’s sun/Uranus trine is terrific for initiating creative ideas and making financial progress.

There’s a tendency to become obsessed about an idea (or person) as you focus with Virgo tunnel-vision. You’re putting in 100 per cent effort but don’t be disappointed if the results aren’t perfect. You’ll learn more from ‘failures’ than successes.

This week is all about bringing more balance and harmony into your busy world. We celebrate the equinox on Sunday – when the sun transits into Libra, and day and night are of equal length. With Venus also visiting your sign, it’s time to tap into your passion and creativity.

The sun and Mercury are moving through your peer group zone, while Saturn, Neptune and the partial lunar eclipse supermoon stimulate your friendship zone.

So a colleague could frustrate you, a boss could annoy you or a friend could give you bad info.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

Expect a domestic drama or a professional challenge as Saturn, Neptune and a partial lunar eclipse supermoon leave you wondering what on earth is going on. Do your best to be especially diplomatic with a cranky colleague or relative.

From Wednesday to Saturday, you could feel doubtful or disappointed, as Saturn and Neptune dull motivation and confuse communication. Then your Capricorn confidence starts to return, as Sunday’s sun/Pluto trine boosts your earthy energy.

Saturn, Neptune and the partial lunar eclipse supermoon are stirring up your finance zones.

Impulse buys today could lead to cashflow problems tomorrow.

Astute Aquarians will avoid making expensive purchases or major money moves.

The partial lunar eclipse supermoon is in Pisces but, if you daydream the week away, you’ll just end up feeling dazed and confused. Try channelling your creative energy into friendships, joint ventures and group projects.

Have you heard of cognitive stimulation therapy? It’s a groundbreaking program offered by Suncare specifically designed for individuals grappling with mild to moderate dementia. This innovative form of ‘mental exercise’ has been crafted by Suncare’s qualified occupational therapists to provide tailored support and stimulation for those navigating cognitive decline.

Studies have illuminated the profound impact of cognitive stimulation therapy, revealing small yet significant cognitive benefits that manifest in improved communication, social interaction, mood and day-to-day abilities. Through a diverse array of activities, including group discussions, games, puzzles, music and practical tasks, participants embark on a journey of cognitive enrichment and connection.

Delivered over seven weeks, with two-hour sessions each week, Suncare’s program offers a structured yet dynamic environment for growth and engagement.

Beyond the immediate benefits, participants also have the opportunity to join a maintenance group post-program, ensuring sustained progress and support within a nurturing community.

Feedback from program participants has been positive, with many expressing genuine enjoyment and anticipation for each session. However, it’s essential to undergo an assessment by one of Suncare’s occupational therapists to ensure suitability for the program.

Phone 1800 786 227 for more details.

COAST IS THE JEWEL IN STATE’S PROPERTY CROWN

Q

New data from Queensland’s peak real estate body shows our region is performing well in both house and unit sales.

ueensland’s property market is continuing its impressive run with median sales prices steadily creeping up, according to the latest data released by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ).

Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Noosa remain our state’s milliondollar median markets with our capital city and beaches arguably the jewels in the crown of Queensland.

The quarterly median sales results for the June 2024 quarter demonstrate the Sunshine State continues to go from strength to strength in property price performance.

The statewide median house price climbed 4.46 per cent over the quarter and an impressive 12.14 per cent over the year.

Not to be outdone, Queensland’s median unit price rose five per cent over the quarter and 14.14 per cent annually.

The market also quickened its pace, with the median number of days on market tightening by about a week compared to the year prior. Queensland’s houses are now selling in about 22 days, while units are being snapped up in just 19 days.

The statewide median house price

increased by 4.46 per cent over the quarter, bringing the median price to $773,000.

Annually, the median price rose by an impressive 12.14 per cent.

Most regions across Queensland experienced robust growth in both quarterly and annual median house prices, reflecting the ongoing strength of the state’s property market.

The Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast continue to perform well, though Noosa showed a quarterly blip, which could indicate market fluctuations or a cooling in buyer demand in that specific area.

Queensland’s median unit price saw a quarterly increase of five per cent, bringing the median price to $609,000 – hot on the heels of the housing market.

The unit market remains highly competitive, appealing to both investors and homebuyers alike, with significant annual growth rates in most markets across Queensland.

Over the past year, the median price for units rose by a robust 14.14 per cent, underscoring the strong demand for this property type.

Again, tourism centres such as the Gold

Coast and Sunshine Coast sustained steady growth, cementing their status as key markets for unit sales.

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella says while both metropolitan and regional areas in Queensland experienced robust price growth, she highlights the challenges first home buyers face in Queensland – namely a widening deposit gap.

“In Queensland, a 20 per cent home deposit for a first home now represents 1.64 times the average annual earnings.

“High rental costs make it incredibly difficult for individuals to save for a home purchase, and when you also factor in the additional costs of stamp duty, potential lender’s mortgage insurance and other buying costs, the prospect of owning a home can seem impossible for first home buyers,” she says.

“The REIQ has proposed several measures to the Queensland government to help homebuyers overcome this significant deposit gap in our recently launched state election policy platform.”

The recent CBA Annual Results presentation highlights that cost-of-living challenges are hitting younger cohorts the hardest, Ms Mercorella adds.

Moments from the picturesque village of Montville, this stunning executive home is a hidden gem. Spanning over 4.02 hectares, the renovated single-level property is enveloped by the lush, undulated rolling green hills and offers breathtaking uninterrupted valley views.

The property is divided into multiple paddocks with an external boundary fence for livestock. A tiered pathway leads to a creek with small waterfalls, creating a peaceful spot for relation and reflection.

Additional features include a three-bay American barn – an ideal versatile space to use as a potential granny flat, extended family accommodation, a teenage retreat, guest quarters, or a home-based business. Inspections are via prior appointment.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

So, a philosophical quote for you to consider – the difference between knowledge and wisdom.

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad!

We cover the big issues of life here. No surf, so maybe make a fruit salad? Or a salsa… yum!

Remember that famous quote from Dean Martin? Me neither!
