From the editor
October is here and with it comes a sea of pink as communities rally together for Pinktober – a month dedicated to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research, support and education.
Every day in Australia, 58 people are diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadly, nine Australians lose their lives to the disease every single day.
In this edition, journalist Caitlin Zerafa shines a light on the cause with a powerful feature story.
She speaks to a local woman who courageously shares her personal breast cancer journey, reminding us of the importance of early detection and the strength found in community.
We’ve put together a practical and empowering guide on how to check your breasts, because knowing your own body and acting quickly if something feels different can truly save lives.
Also in this edition, we have a great mix of local news, lifestyle features, fashion, travel and, of course, plenty of property pages to keep you right up to date with what’s happening in the market.
Trivia lovers will enjoy our fun facts, while our what’s on guide will give you plenty of inspiration for what to do this weekend.
Until next week, happy reading.

TRUST SLIPS AS WE SLOP ON SUNSCREEN
An expert says industry reputation has been damaged and consumer confidence eroded after sun-protection products were pulled off shelves.
Trust in sunscreen could be slipping after dozens of products from major brands were pulled from shelves due to sun protection fears.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has identified 20 sunscreens as falling significantly short of their advertised sun protection factor claims.
Deakin University Consumer Behaviour and Marketing Professor Paul Harrison says this could damage the industry’s reputation and overall consumer confidence.
“It erodes trust in all sunscreen now and that’s going to be front of mind for everybody when they go and buy sunscreen,” he says.
Consumer advocacy group Choice in June found 16-out-of-20 popular sunscreens labelled SPF 50 or 50+ failed to
provide the level of protection claimed on packaging.
Ultra Violette sunscreen ultimately came under fire, after discovering the brand’s Lean Screen 50+ Mattifying Zinc Skinscreen scored the lowest SPF rating of four. At least six products have since been voluntarily recalled and removed from the market, including Ultra Violette Lean Screen SPF50+ and Aspect SunSPF50+ Physical Sun Protection.
Meanwhile, three products from a range of brands have been voluntarily cancelled, and nearly a dozen have been paused and are under a TGA review.
The regulator says it is concerned about results from its investigation relating to Lean Screen and its base formulation, which is manufactured by Wild Child Laboratories Pty Ltd. It says preliminary
testing indicates the base formulation is unlikely to have an SPF greater than 21.
“Preliminary testing of specific goods manufactured using the base formulation indicate that the SPF value of the goods may, for at least some of the goods, be as low as SPF 4,” the TGA says.
Wild Child Laboratories says there are “no manufacturing issues identified at (its) facility that could explain variability in SPF testing results”.
Chief executive Tom Curnow says the discrepancies are “part of a broader, industry-wide issue”.
The TGA acknowledges companies have their own test results to support SPF claims, but found the reliability of testing laboratories could vary. The regulator flagged “significant concerns” about the reliability of SPF testing undertaken by Princeton Consumer Research Corp.
“The TGA is aware that many companies responsible for sunscreens manufactured using this base formulation relies on testing by PCR Corp to support their SPF claims, and that they obtained that testing before they were informed of the TGA’s concerns.”
Princeton Consumer Research issued a statement, saying it conducted “sunscreen testing in good faith, to recognised industry standards, on the specific samples provided to us by sponsors at the time of testing”.
Dr Harrison believes the TGA’s investigation has created uncertainty for consumers: “There has been a breach of faith in the system because much of our trust is automatic. This is reinforcing the negative valence which no brand wants ... and what’s happened is sunscreen has suffered, so people feel like they can’t trust the SPF sunscreen elements.”
The Cancer Council continues to advise that sunscreen is one of five key ways to reduce skin cancer risk. – AAP.
FUTURE ROCKET SCIENTISTS
A B-double trailer – transformed into a mobile space hub – will soon hit the road across regional Australia to support rocket launches and bring science and technology education to the bush.
The CSIRO’s Mobile Mission Operations Centre, affectionately described as a ‘space truck’ by some of its engineers, has been unveiled at the International Astronautical Congress in Sydney.
The centre, which is 26m long and 6.5m wide, will deliver NASA-style situational awareness and be operated by up to 30 engineers to assist with launches from rural and remote locations.
CSIRO principal research engineer Craig James says Australia’s space activities are rapidly expanding, with rocket ranges in rural South Australia and Queensland.
“We have some fantastic advantages geographically, given we’re in the Southern Hemisphere and we stretch anywhere from the equator down to the polar regions,” Mr James says.
“We also have a lot of great open space for potentially doing launch return activities that can be done safely.”
In between launches, the centre will travel to country schools to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.
“The students are going to be sitting in the same chairs that are used to launch rockets,” he says. “I don’t think we can underestimate the importance of that.”

Health-giving nectar
Did you know that the word ‘nectarine’ means ‘sweet like nectar’ and this is most likely the origin of the name? It’s believed nectarines, like peaches, originated in China more than 4000 years ago. Nutritionally, nectarines are a high source of Vitamin C and A and are abundant in antioxidants. They aid in weight loss, help regulate blood pressure levels and aid overall good health.
(Ear) waxing lyrical
Earwax, or cerumen, is actually a form of modified sweat. It’s produced by specialised glands in the ear canal that evolved from sweat glands. Beyond its waxy texture, earwax serves important purposes: it traps dust and debris, prevents infections with antibacterial properties, and keeps the ear canal lubricated. Far from being just ‘dirt’, it’s an essential part of ear health.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and reminds us that early detection – often through selfexamination – gives patients the best chance of survival.

eyebrows and eyelashes, was something else entirely.
“It’s an experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone and one I hope I never have to go through again.”
Throughout her breast cancer journey, Ms Young says her ‘village’ of family and friends truly kept her going.
“My now-husband was my rock through it all,” she says.
“This wasn’t his first time facing cancer.
“His mum had passed away from breast cancer years earlier, so he supported me with a quiet strength that meant everything.
“One of my closest friends, my ‘breast’ friend as we now say, was also diagnosed with breast cancer just six months before
The day Petah Young found out she had breast cancer, her whole world turned upside down. Fit and in her 50s, the diagnosis arrived just six months after a routine mammogram came back clear.
With a friend always reminding her to “check ya boobs”, Ms Young was in the shower when she discovered a large lump, leading to the news no one wants to receive.
“I remember that day so clearly – just like I imagine most people do when they get that dreaded phone call,” Ms Young tells My Weekly Preview.
“I ran to my mum in the kitchen, crying, and said, ‘It’s breast cancer’.
“I tried to process the news as best I could, but my mind was already overwhelmed. My now-husband was in the hospital, seriously injured after being hit by a car exactly one week earlier.
“The whole experience felt surreal.”
Every day in Australia, 58 people are diagnosed with breast cancer.
It remains the most diagnosed cancer among women, with more than
21,000 new cases expected in 2025.
Heartbreakingly, nine Australians die from the disease every single day.
Sharing her story to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Ms Young says navigating her diagnosis, treatment and side effects was challenging – and something she wouldn’t wish upon her worst enemy.
“Physically, it took a massive toll,” she says.
“I won’t sugar-coat it: chemo and surgery were brutal. But surprisingly, I sailed through radiation without too many issues.
“I’ve always been someone who thrives in the gym, training most days of the week.
“I was halfway through a fitness challenge when everything hit the fan.
“I still managed to keep moving, just not at the level I was used to.
“Losing my sense of taste was tough. And then came the strange cravings for foods and drinks I never usually touched.
“Cloudy apple juice became my go-to, along with fried rice.

me. We leaned on each other a lot, regularly meeting at a local coffee shop to chat, laugh and just feel normal for a while.
“I also have to mention how incredible Bloomhill and the McGrath Foundation were. The breast care nurses were compassionate, knowledgeable and genuinely encouraging.
“No question was ever too small or too awkward – they were always there.”
Now two years into remission, Ms Young says her whole outlook on life has changed, embracing becoming a grandmother and making the leap to start her dream university degree.
“It might sound like a cliché, but I really do try not to sweat the small stuff anymore,” she says.
“I take each day as it comes.
“In April last year, I became a nan to the most gorgeous little boy and I adore him beyond words.
“He’s brought so much joy into my life.
“This year, I decided to take a leap and go to university. I enrolled in a double degree in psychology, criminology and justice – because why do just one, right?
“At the ripe old age of 56, I’ve learned it’s never too late to start something new.
Petah Young and her husband Russell
“I’ve met some amazing friends there, which has been such a bonus, especially being one of the older students. I truly enjoy my life.”
Ms Young’s advice to others touched by a diagnosis is to seek support or offer support.
“If you ever find yourself on the breast cancer journey, know that you’re not alone,” she says.
“There is a whole network of people, services and support systems out there to help you through it.
“And for those standing on the sidelines, cheering someone on, it’s the little things that truly make a difference.
“Cooking a meal, throwing on a load of washing, taking them out for a coffee or simply going for a walk along the beach and breathing in that beautiful salt air we’re so lucky to have right at our doorstep –
“Check your breasts regularly, at any time, because things can change in an instant and tomorrow is never promised”
these small gestures mean more than you might realise.”
Ms Young is also reminding people of the importance of getting their breasts checked, especially if any changes are noticed.
“I’m so grateful to my ‘breast’ friend,” she says.
“If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have thought to check my breasts, especially since I’d had a mammogram just six or seven months earlier that came back clear.
“She may have very well saved my life.
“Please don’t wait for your next mammogram. Check your breasts regularly, at any time, because things can change in an instant and tomorrow is never promised.”
SPILL THE TEA, IT COULD SAVE A LIFE
A new national campaign from tea brand Tetley, in support of Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA), is aiming to transform something as simple as a chat over a cup of tea into what could be a lifechanging conversation.
The Uncomfortable Cup campaign, launched for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, encourages Australians to have difficult but vital conversations about symptoms, screening and support.
BCNA CEO Kirsten Pilatti says the campaign highlights the power of talking openly about breast cancer and how meaningful conversations can provide strength through shared experiences.
“As Australia’s peak breast cancer organisation, BCNA understands that the conversations people avoid having are often the ones that can save lives,” she says.
“When someone has had a positive diagnosis, is navigating treatment or is getting on with their life after treatment, they know they can turn to us for support and connection.
“Just as Tetley brings people together over a cup of tea, BCNA connects Australians to the information, peer support and advocacy they need to face breast cancer with confidence.
“Together, we want to transform the kitchen table conversations into lifechanging action.”
As part of the initiative, Tetley is raising funds to support the work of BCNA through a limited-edition pink pack of Tetley Tea Cup 100s, where five cents from each box sold will go BCNA.
“Sharing a cup of tea can be the catalyst for conversations which, no matter how uncomfortable, are deeply necessary,” Tetley’s Divya Shrivastava says.
“Whether checking in with a loved one, sharing a personal story or learning about symptoms and screening, these moments of connection can lead to early detection, greater understanding and stronger support.” For more information, visit tetley.com.au/theuncomfortablecup.
BREAST CANCER SURVIVAL STATISTICS IN AUSTRALIA
Australia has one of the best survival rates for breast cancer in the world.
Although more people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, the mortality rate from the disease is going down.
The latest statistics were released in September 2024.
They show that the chance of surviving at least five years (five-year relative survival) has increased from 78 per cent in 1990-1994 to 92 per cent in 2016-2020.
How to self-examine
Finding breast cancer early gives you the best chance of effective treatment.
You should examine your breasts regularly to be aware of anything that looks or feels different.
If you notice any changes in your breast that are new or unusual for you, see your doctor as soon as possible. Not all breast changes are cancerous (they may be ‘benign’ changes).
Screening with regular mammograms is also important, even when you don’t have any symptoms.
Changes may include:
• a lump or swelling in your breast or underarm (armpit)
• changes in the shape or size of the breast
• irritation or dimpling of your breast skin
• pain in any area of your breast that is unusual or ongoing
• an indent (puckering) in part of the breast when you lift your arms
• a rash or red, crusty or flaky skin in your nipple area or your breast
• a change in the shape of the nipple, such as it turning inwards (‘inverting’)
• discharge from the nipple, other than breast milk.

STOPPING THE DRAIN
A review into water pricing aims to make costs more transparent and find ways to improve efficiency to ease pressure on household bills.
Amajor review of water pricing has been launched to examine the costs behind bills for more than 2.4 million Southeast Queensland residents.
The state government has directed the Queensland Competition Authority (QCA) to assess pricing structures at Unitywater, which supplies water and sewerage services across the region. The aim is to make prices more transparent and identify ways to improve efficiency to ease pressure on household bills.
The review will take place in two stages. The first, running until mid-2027, will focus on productivity and cost-efficiency measures. The second stage, from 2027 to 2030, will look at pricing, service standards and costs to shape future bills.
As part of the review, which will also examine fellow SEQ supplier Urban Utilities, the QCA will work with shareholding councils and Queenslanders. Its findings will guide future pricing decisions and set benchmarks for how providers manage costs and infrastructure investment. The process will follow the same framework
used for other state monopoly businesses such as SEQWater. Unitywater is jointly owned by Noosa, Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay councils, while Urban Utilities is owned by Brisbane, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim and Somerset councils.
Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training Ros Bates says the QCA review is an overdue move to support transparency between water service providers and customers.
“The last time the Queensland Competition Authority was directed to have a look at water pricing was more than a decade ago,” Ms Bates says.
“The review will hold water service providers to account and put downward pressure on Queenslanders’ water bills in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.”
Minister for Local Government and Water Ann Leahy says the review will support the state government’s commitment to help relieve cost-of-living pressures while supporting water infrastructure growth.
Further details on timelines and opportunities for public feedback will be released by the QCA. Visit qca.org.au.
THE WAVE PLANNING SPEEDS ONWARD WITH GAME-CHANGING TRAIN CORRIDOR
The Department of Transport and Main Roads has released new maps showing the route and infrastructure for the multibillion-dollar rail line between Beerwah and Birtinya. WORDS: Steele Taylor system and minimise impacts on surrounding areas.
New corridor alignment maps have been revealed for a planned multibilliondollar rail line on the Sunshine Coast.
The latest maps, from the Department of Transport and Main Roads, show the train route and associated infrastructure between Beerwah and Birtinya.
The line is part of The Wave: a bold scheme expected to improve public transport to and from the region in time for the 2032 Olympics.
Stage 1 will consist of a 19km line
between Beerwah and Caloundra and Stage 2 will be a 7km line from Caloundra to Birtinya. The yet-to-be-planned Stage 3 will feature metro buses travelling the estimated 18km between Birtinya and Sunshine Coast Airport, via Maroochydore.
A rail corridor was protected in 2001 before a detailed business case was carried out in 2023.
Proposed refinements have been made to the corridor to align with modern rail design standards, optimise rail operations, accommodate a dual-track
The track is being designed for speeds of up to 160kmh, making it one of the fastest lines in the state’s south-east. It would connect to the North Coast line at Beerwah, enabling commuters to get to and from Brisbane 45 minutes quicker than by car. New Generation Rollingstock and Queensland Train Manufacturing Program fleets will be utilised.
The latest maps include five stations – Beerwah, Bells Creek, Caloundra, Aroona and Birtinya – and their
surrounds. The maps also show the track cutting through a variety of natural and urban areas, with a 1.2km tunnel at Little Mountain.
The line is set to be elevated at several locations due to low-lying terrain and environmental sensitivities, with 16 bridges across roads, creeks and the Bruce Highway.
“The refined corridor and reference design have been carefully developed to minimise impacts wherever possible, while also preserving the ecological value of the area,” TMR states.
“TMR has notified directly impacted property owners of land requirements.”
TMR states that a number of changes have been made after community consultation, including: refinements to the alignment to minimise environmental, cultural heritage and community impacts; refinements to the active transport alignment and providing active transport facilities at stations; enhanced facilities at stations and access to and from stations (from all modes); noise mitigation incorporated into the design of the rail corridor; unique considerations for each station, based on the local communities and places that they serve; enhanced station design and surroundings, including public art and urban design; and improvements to the Sunshine Coast bus network at all stations.
Further details, including more precise locations of the tracks, will be available as the project progresses.
“Project maps will be further refined after contracts are awarded and detailed design is undertaken,” TMR states.
The project is in the pre-delivery phase, which includes developing the design, environmental referrals, market sounding and undertaking procurement.

Technical studies are being undertaken, including general surveys, flood modelling, geological studies, flora and fauna surveys, as well as initial investigations for water quality, cultural heritage, noise and vibration and air quality.
Stage 1 is expected to cost between $5.5 billion and $7 billon. The state and federal governments have committed $2.75 billion each to deliver it. Funding for Stage 2 is expected to be considered as designs and plans are further developed.
Contractors for stages 1 and 2 are set to be appointed early next year and by late 2026 respectively. Construction is set to start in late 2026.
Homes are expected to be resumed.
“We acknowledge this can be a challenging time and thank impacted property owners for their ongoing engagement as we work to deliver this key transport project for the Sunshine Coast,” a TMR spokesperson says.

Antique buyers in the area
In today’s trend of downsizing and decluttering our homes, it’s the perfect time to go through those drawers and cupboards and turn those unwanted items into cash. Antique Buyers, and father-son duo, Mike and Nate, will be travelling to the Sunshine Coast from October 20th to the 25th. See page 23 for full details.
“We are enthusiastic buyers, particularly interested in gold jewellery, whether broken or intact, antique jewellery, gold and silver coins, collectibles including military medals, and banknotes, as well as mechanical watches.”
“Everyone has something we want to buy, and nothing is too small for our consideration. We are just as happy to buy one item, as we are buying 10,000!” says Mike Cornish, the company’s chief buyer. If you are in doubt about any items you wish to sell, take them in for an instant appraisal. No appointment is needed.
Gold and Silver still at high prices
With the gold price still at higher than traditional levels, right now is an opportune time to explore your jewellery box and dig out those old gold chains, rings, and brooches, to turn them into cash. Mike emphasizes, “This is an ideal time to sell. We will buy
anything made of gold – old jewellery, coins, virtually anything, even gold teeth! We also need silver in any form, including coins, and bars of any size.”
Old coins can toss up a rarity
Check those drawers and cupboards, you may have a rarity lurking amongst your coins. “We want to see any old foreign coin accumulations. Bags, tins, folders, however they come, we will be quite happy to go through your coins on the spot and give you an idea of what we can pay. You just never know what can turn up!”
Rolex and mechanical watches wanted Mechanical watches are needed urgently by the buyers. “Collectors at this stage want brands such as Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Longines, and Seiko, just to mention some. These brands can command good prices depending on the model and condition.” Mike explains. “If you are unsure, bring your watches in for an appraisal.”
Home visits are offered for those unable to make it to a venue, or those with too much to carry.
ROADWORKS ON BUSY STRETCH
Improvements are on the way to a major road in the Sunshine Coast’s fastestgrowing area.
Upgrades will be made to a 1.4km stretch of Aura Boulevard: a main thoroughfare in Australia’s largest masterplanned community, Aura.
The works, which began recently, include duplication of the road to two lanes in each direction between the Bells Creek Arterial Road roundabout and the Edwards Terrace and Aura Boulevard intersection. It also includes the installation of a new signalised pedestrian crossing at Berry Terrace and upgrades to two intersections with Baringa Drive.
Developer Stockland has engaged civil contractor BMD to deliver the work, which is expected to be completed by late next year.
The stretch of road is the entry point to schools and shops, including the Baringa Retail Centre, and is a key connector between Aura and the Caloundra centre.
A Stockland spokesperson says motorists may experience some minor impacts during the works.
“Local road and pedestrian movements will be maintained throughout construction, with temporary traffic controls and reduced speed limits in place for safety,” the spokesperson says.

Bongiorno has been named the winner in the $7500 Performing Arts and Music Industry Prize with his portrait of the musician Karl S Williams: Built This Way.
The Brisbane Portrait Prize, now in its seventh year, showcases the best in contemporary portraiture.
Brisbane Portrait Prize chief judge Jason Smith says there is a “potent allure” to Bongiorno’s portrait.
“Painting is constantly evolving, and contemporary painters are productively inspired and influenced by the long tradition and discipline in which they
practice,” he says. “I was immediately drawn to Bongiorno’s contemporary take on Renaissance portraitu re.
“There is an enigmatic quality to Bongiorno’s image that reminded me of the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer’s famous Self-Portrait at TwentyEight (Alte Pinakothek, Munich), completed in 1500.
“Like Dürer, Karl S Williams emerges from darkness in a portrait of stillness, dignity and gentle humanity.
“The painting is technically and aesthetically refined and confidently understated.”
Brisbane Portrait Prize chair Anna Reynolds says she is thrilled with the winning works this year.
“These artworks highlight the rich depth of talent and ingenuity of Brisbane artists – and also they give us special insight into the lives of the sitters and the times in which we live,” she says.
“There is something for everyone in the Finalists Exhibition.
“In addition to the well-known faces, there is space for showcasing the richness of humanity and revealing the nobility inherent in the everyday.”
The Finalists Exhibition is on display at the State Library of Queensland, Brisbane, until November 9.
EXPO TO SHOW EMERGENCY SERVICES HEROES IN ACTION
The Sunshine Coast Emergency Services and Disaster Preparedness Expo is set to take over Sunshine Coast Stadium on Sunday, October 19, with a full day of action, education and family fun.
The free community event is one of the region’s most popular annual gatherings, offering locals the chance to meet the frontline heroes who keep us safe – from firefighters and police to paramedics, SES volunteers and surf lifesavers.
This year’s program includes exciting live demonstrations scheduled throughout the day. Watch helicopter water bombing in action, see swift water rescues unfold and witness dramatic vertical rescue operations.
Don’t miss the firefighters as they tackle simulated blazes and vehicle crashes, showing exactly how they respond in real emergencies. A highlight will be the Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Service performing a special demo before landing so visitors can explore the chopper up close and meet some of the crew who help keep Queensland safe.
The event at Sunshine Coast Stadium, Bokarina, and the Lake Kawana foreshore runs from 10am-2pm. Visit disaster. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

Streetscape upgrades
There’s a buzz in the air as we get ready to roll out exciting streetscape improvements in Eumundi and Nambour – two vibrant town centres with big plans ahead.
In Eumundi, Stage 3 works are set to begin early this month, continuing the transformation of Memorial Drive into a shady, inclusive and welcoming space for locals, businesses and visitors. This stage includes a new footpath, an arbour structure and creative light artwork in the Lonergan Lane pedestrian and cycle link.
We’re aiming to wrap up this work by Christmas, with the final touches – an Art and Heritage Trail and signage – coming in the new year. Be sure to check it out next time you visit the Eumundi Markets.
Meanwhile in Nambour, we’re gearing up for the first stage of the Namba Place Plan, part of the long-term Nambour Centre Activation Project. This stage focuses on upgrading streetscapes along
Currie and Mill Streets to create a safer, more vibrant town centre.
Expect better lighting, improved pedestrian crossings, upgraded footpaths and new landscaping, furniture and al fresco dining areas to bring life to the streets. Behind the scenes, we’ll also be upgrading stormwater drainage and underground services.
Construction is expected to start in the first half of 2026. This is just the beginning of a 10 to 15-year vision to renew Nambour’s heart.
I’ll keep you updated as these exciting projects progress. If you have any questions or ideas, I’d love to hear from you. Contact me with any questions or comments on email: david.law@ sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au and follow my Facebook page for regular updates: @ DavidLawDivision10.

IAS DIFFERENT AS NIGHT AND DAY
Ashley Robinson understands that Queenslanders like to do things a little differently but the daylight saving debate still rears its ugly head ever year.
notice my fellow columnist Jane Stephens wrote about supporting daylight saving in Queensland. She suggests that we split the time zone so the Southeast has daylight saving but the rest of the state operates on Queensland time. Just a disclaimer: Jane is way smarter and more qualified to write a column than yours truly, which is kind of the problem with her argument.
She mentions that the last time we had it was 1992 and a lot has changed since then, which is correct but not an argument. It is the reason we keep having the debate.
The population has nearly doubled since then, which is the problem, as probably a couple of million of those newcomers have come from south of the border. I find that this is the most confusing part: they come up here because they think it’s better – willingly leaving daylight saving behind – but then want to change things when they get here. Sure, they think they are smarter than us but therein lies the problem: most of us like it like this. It’s Queensland. This is how we roll. If the surf is good, nothing gets done.
The solution of splitting the state in two
time zones is flawed. Most folks outside the Southeast believe they are mostly forgotten regarding power, emergency services and infrastructure. Splitting the time zones will only make that gap worse.
I write this column yearly since about 2000. My opinion has never changed. I usually (facetiously) bring up the faded curtains with too much sun on them and the cows confused about when to come in for milking – which only confirms what our southern friends think of us. Also worth consideration is what the sun will do to our skin if we are out in it an extra hour a day.
A study in the US reported that, on average, residents get 19 minutes less sleep a night during daylight saving – that would impact on my beauty sleep which all agree I really need. The report also said there were more traffic accidents because drivers were tired.
Jane, I have two solutions: if NSW wins State of Origin, which is unlikely but possible if they get the right referee, we go into daylight saving that summer (so, mostly, we won’t have to worry about it). The other solution is to get up earlier.
Welcome to Queensland.
IA BAD BUNCH OF BANANA MEMORIES
Sami Muirhead has made a note to herself to never peel back the layers to uncover ‘cool and fun mum’ ever again.
have some life advice after receiving stitches to my chin and recovering from concussion: do not go on banana boats.
You see, I was trying to be the ‘cool and fun mum’ on our family holiday in Fiji. So, I bribed my whole family to come on a banana boat ride with wild promises of crazy times ahead. I promised prime fun. I talked up a big game of lifelong memories, thanks to bouncing laughter at sea.
It turns out the memories were more nightmares after we all came flying off that big banana boat that was travelling way too fast and sent us splayed like little ants into the wide, deep ocean. My middle son was screaming in fear and pain. My youngest son was trembling at the thought of getting back on the banana. And my daughter was looking at me like I was the devil.
But it was me (thankfully) who copped the hardest hit when we landed on the water surface. I was about to black out as the hit was so hard and the life jacket buckle had sliced my chin open. As blood gushed into the ocean, all I could think was: ‘Oh great, we are all going to be eaten by sharks. This is not the fun family ride I promised.”
opinions expressed are those of the authors. These are not the views of My Weekly Preview publishers.
Those beautiful Fijian young men got us out of the water and back to the local nurse on the island for stitches to my chin as I vomited. I was very much feeling punch drunk and do not remember too much of it all (which is just as well as the nurse had no anaesthetic for the stitches).
“How painful could it be?” I thought to myself in my delirious state. The nurse then asked me, “Are you from New Zealand? You have such tough skin, I am struggling to get the needle through your chin.” This was not what I wanted to hear.
The stitches took ages as the nurse kept putting the needle down to chat to my husband about the secret to a great marriage. I could not talk as I was ‘out of it’ and it was my chin getting the stitches but I wanted to scream at my husband that perhaps the secret to a good marriage would be to tell the nurse to hurry up.
Finally, the stitches were done and the family went off to the buffet dinner while I went back to the room with whiplash, concussion and a bruised face.
Banana boats: the work of the devil, I tell you! ‘Cool and fun mum’ may never make an appearance again.

Road trauma is a leading cause of death for young Queenslanders, who are 60 per cent more likely to be involved in a serious crash than older drivers.
Between 2019 and 2024, 444 fatalities involved a young driver (16-24 years old), while 223 of those deaths involved a driver on their P-plates. That’s compared to 348 fatalities involving drivers aged 60 to 74.
Over that same period, 295 young adults (17-24 years old) lost their lives on Queensland roads. At least 31 more have already been killed in crashes this year.
RACQ’s head of public policy Dr Michael Kane says the scale of loss is unacceptable.
“Every one of these young people killed is a tragedy that ripples through families, schools, workplaces and communities,” Dr Kane says.
“We know the first six to 12 months on P-plates carries the highest crash risk, but it doesn’t have to stay this way. We must do more to change this cultural crisis.”
RACQ’s 2025 Road Safety Survey uncovered alarming behaviours among young drivers – many tied directly to the ‘Fatal Five’.
When 18 to 24-year-olds were asked if they had engaged in specific dangerous driving behaviours at least once in the past 12 months, the survey revealed:
• 28.6 per cent admitted to drink driving
• 76.2 per cent confessed to speeding
• 52.4 per cent used a hand-held mobile phone while driving
• 19 per cent did not wear a seatbelt
• 61.9 per cent drove while fatigued.
“Speeding, drink and drug driving, distraction, not wearing a seatbelt and
fatigue make up the Fatal Five for a reason, yet our data clearly shows many young drivers still believe it won’t happen to them,” Dr Kane says.
Queensland’s 2025 road toll stands at 227 and is on track to be the largest in more than 15 years.
Dr Kane says that this cultural crisis is everyone’s responsibility, and it needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
“We need game-changing reforms –it’s time to get serious on road safety,” he says.
“The staggering number of Queenslanders driving under the influence must stop.
“RACQ is calling for a doubling of random roadside breath and drug tests to increase the likelihood of people getting caught.”
RACQ is also calling for a stronger on-road police presence, expanded vehicle impoundment laws and more point-to-point speed cameras – all of which will deter drivers from doing the wrong thing and potentially losing their life or taking someone else’s.
COMPASS FARM CELEBRATES 15 YEARS
A simple dream became reality through the belief, hard work and dedication of hundreds of people.
On September 29, 2010, I was sitting on a grass bank overlooking the dam on what is now Compass Farm.
The contract had just settled and I was out there alone for the first time. It was all a little surreal… the sun was setting slowly behind me … I was eating a mandarin and a handful of pecans I’d picked from nearby trees … ducks were gliding in to land on the surface of the water.
The moment I first set foot on the property, I knew this was the place I’d been searching for for two years.
In the early days of that search, I had penned a story about a visitor’s experience when they first came to Compass Farm, and I still have that story. It describes the gravel crunching under their tyres as they swung into the car park, the scent of nearby citrus trees and herb gardens, sunlight glinting off the dam to their right, laughter tumbling down the hill they can see in front of them.
It talks about the visitor meeting trainees on the path down to the office –trainees who share the stories of all the myriad things that go on at Compass Farm. They are tales of beehives, market gardens, art spaces, a nursery, a kitchen, chickens, ponies and goats – so many tales, all delivered
To find out how you can be involved with Compass, head to compassinc.org.au
with pride and boundless enthusiasm.
When people now read that story, they naturally assume it was written some years after the farm was established.
The fact is, the bones of that story were laid down on a big piece of butchers paper three years earlier and the story itself was penned two years before I even saw this property. This reinforces to me the power we all have to create the future of our choice. Align with a wholesome vision and anything is possible.
The feeling of peace and purpose that is the hallmark of Compass Farm has never left me. Yes, I had a dream, but it’s been the belief, hard work and dedication of hundreds of colleagues, trainees, families and supporters that have made that dream today’s reality.

SPRING CRUISES AWAKEN THE SENSES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN
April and May transform the Mediterranean into a place of colour, warmth and discovery.
Coastal towns come alive after winter, markets brim with spring flavours and locals reclaim their harbourside cafés before the rush of summer visitors arrives.
Sailing during this time reveals a quieter, more authentic Mediterranean that feels relaxed, welcoming and deeply connected to its traditions.
Emerald Cruises offers the ideal
way to explore it all. The sleek luxury yachts carry just a select number of guests, creating a private, boutique atmosphere that larger ships cannot match.
On board, contemporary design meets understated elegance with spacious suites, a stunning infinity-style pool and dining experiences that celebrate local flavours. Every element has been designed to enhance the journey without overshadowing the destinations.
The beauty of spring sailings lies in the balance. Days are warm enough to wander through sunlit villages, cycle along coastal
paths or take to the water for kayaking and paddle boarding, yet the season still retains its calm. In Greece, islands such as Rhodes and Santorini shine under clear skies, while in Croatia, medieval towns such as Split and Dubrovnik feel refreshingly peaceful. France’s Riviera glitters with new energy and Italy’s harbours welcome travellers with the aromas of fresh herbs, seafood and early summer harvests.
Emerald’s intimate yachts unlock corners of the Mediterranean that larger vessels cannot reach. Tucked-away coves, hidden harbours and charming fishing towns are all part of the journey. Each day is tailored to discovery, whether it is a guided tour that unveils layers of history, a market visit that immerses you in local culture or an afternoon of leisure on the Sky Deck with uninterrupted sea views.
With fewer crowds in April and May, there is more time to linger, to taste and to connect deeply with each destination.

CREATING AN OUTDOOR OASIS
An outdoor area works best when elements connect visually.
Consider blending materials so surfaces and finishes tie into one another. Dark cladding tones can be paired with lighter pavers or greenery to soften the look, while patterned or coloured concrete paths can highlight planting beds or define walkways.

Spring is the perfect season to rethink outdoor spaces. The right architectural elements can turn a backyard into an inviting space. From wall cladding to paving and driveways, here are some ways to upgrade your exterior.
FINISHING TOUCHES
Once the main surfaces are complete, smaller details make the space feel complete. Layer outdoor furniture with weatherresistant fabrics, add lighting to highlight textures, introduce comfortable and stylish cushions and consider screening for privacy where needed. Combining hard architectural finishes with softer styling pieces helps create an inviting space.
IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS
Architectural finishes can transform an outdoor area. Products such as Metroll’s MAC Nail Strip 0.55 BMT Colorbond steel –Monument (pictured) offer a modern edge that works for walling and cladding. The concealed-fix profile means fast installation with no visible screws, leaving clean lines and a sharp finish. Used on feature walls, garden structures or as cladding for outdoor rooms, it provides durability while adding a bold, contemporary touch to any backyard.
PATHS AND DRIVEWAYS
Updating your driveway or concrete paths is one of the most effective ways to lift street appeal. There are a number of ways to renovate your existing elements with cement products. These options make it simple to customise finishes – whether you prefer the texture of a stamped surface, the architectural element of stencils, a refresh with topcrete or the depth of colour mixed straight into the concrete.
THIS MONTH IN MY RENOVATION
The October edition features our annual pool feature, with expert advice on everything from choosing the right pool water (chlorine versus saltwater – that is the big question) to styling the surrounds. You can read it online at myweeklypreview.com.au.
FROM ACUTE CARE TO COMMUNITY: MY JOURNEY IN PHYSIOTHERAPY
Looking back on 20 years in physiotherapy, most of my experience has been in acute care and musculoskeletal practice.
I’ve worked in hospital settings, supporting recovery after injury and surgery, and in private practice, helping clients return to the activities they love. These roles gave me
a solid clinical foundation, but I was curious about what happens beyond hospital doors and clinic walls. Joining Team Rehab Solutions (TRS) was a turning point.
After years in fast-paced acute care and musculoskeletal environments, I wanted to bring that expertise into people’s homes, supporting them in their daily lives.
Community-based work is deeply rewarding. Clients often face complex needs that don’t fit neatly into one category, and every interaction is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference.
At TRS, I help people manage pain, regain mobility and build function in ways that enhance independence and quality of life. From severe cardiorespiratory issues to complex age-related conditions and progressive neurological diseases, our team meets clients where they are, with personalised care tailored to real-life challenges. Physiotherapy has taken me from hospital wards to living rooms, and I wouldn’t change it. Being part of TRS means working alongside passionate clinicians who share a commitment to delivering the very best care, right where it’s needed most.

THE HIDDEN POWER OF SUNFLOWERS FOR SUPPORT
At airports, supermarkets, venues and even music festivals, you may have noticed people wearing a green lanyard with bright yellow sunflowers.
This is the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower: a symbol being adopted across the world to help make public spaces more inclusive and supportive.
The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a voluntary way for people to discreetly communicate that they have a condition that’s not visible to others. Wearing a sunflower lanyard can help people with hidden disabilities have a safer, more confident experience when travelling, working or out in the community.
A hidden or invisible disability is one that isn’t obvious to others. This can include autism, anxiety, dementia, hearing or vision loss, epilepsy, chronic pain and sensory processing difficulties.
The sunflower lanyard subtly tells people that just because you can’t see the disability doesn’t mean it’s not there.
The sunflower design is most often worn as a lanyard (around the neck) but can also appear on a pin or card.
Wearing this is a signal that a person may need a little extra time, patience, space or support. It does not identify a
person’s specific disability. Businesses and venues that promote the sunflower often have trained staff to assist visitors who may need help or adjustments.
The sunflower lanyard was first introduced at London’s Gatwick Airport in 2016 and is now recognised in more than 40 countries.
Sunflower lanyards and accessories can be purchased from the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower website at hdsunflower.com/au/ which also features a guide to sunflower-friendly locations.
If you spot someone wearing a sunflower lanyard, be patient, offer help if it seems appropriate and avoid asking personal questions about their disability. Often the most helpful thing to say is: “How can I help?”

HOROSCOPES
ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)
This week, your partnership zone is activated by the sun and Venus. So – when it comes to romantic and platonic relationships – it’s time to be more creative, curious, kind and generous as you shine brighter, communicate better and laugh more often.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)
The week starts with Venus transiting into your neighbourhood zone, which favours socialising and making new friends. With the sun (your patron) squaring Jupiter (planet of exuberance), Friday is the best day for fabulous flirting and/or frivolous escapades.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)
This week, prepare to inspire others with your high spirits. You’re at your buoyant best as Venus, Uranus and Pluto put extra wind in your Sagittarian sails (especially involving close relationships, joint ventures, goals and dreams).
QUIZ
1. What is the name of Winnie-the-Pooh’s human best friend?
2. True or false: the scallop can propel itself across the ocean floor?
3. Found in Australia, what is the name of the world’s largest sand island?
4. Which town was the site of Ned Kelly’s last stand?
5. What are young dolphins known as?
6. Which musical act released the song The Final Countdown in 1986?
7. What are the plastic tips on shoelaces called?
FLARE
TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)
Expect a busy, bamboozling, beautiful week, Bulls! Venus (your power planet) transits into Libra, opposes Neptune, and then trines Uranus and Pluto. So, you’re in the mood to socialise with friends, but be careful how you communicate, especially with colleagues.
VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)
This week the sun and Venus are visiting Libra, which highlights your financial zone. So, you’ll now be focusing a lot of time and energy on money – how to make it, grow it and keep it. But don’t lose sight of yourself and your personal, creative and spiritual needs.
CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)
With the sun/Venus in your career zone and Mercury/Mars in your wish list zone, it’s time to make plans and dream big dreams. And don’t make them too safe and sensible! Go for gold, as the planets encourage you to be bold and brave about the future.
9. How many Olympic gold medals did Ian Thorpe (pictured) win in his swimming career?
10. With which instrument is the musician Sir James Galway associated?
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)
This week, the sun and Venus are visiting your creativity zone, so it’s time to write, sing, dance, perform, paint or play music as you draw on the richness of your colourful world. And the Venus/Uranus trine will help you turn imaginative ideas into innovative projects.
LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)
You’ll feel more confident this week as the sun and Venus visit Libra, which boosts your sense of wellbeing. But resist the urge to judge others. Remember – you don’t have all the facts at hand, appearances can be deceptive, and no one is perfect.
AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)
Expect some confusing communication and relationship challenges. You’ve got plenty to say, but make sure you take the time to listen to others. Jupiter is visiting your wellbeing zone, which is good news for your physical and emotional health.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)
With expansive Jupiter jumping through your sign (until next June), it’s time to be the bold, brave, confident Crab you were born to be (like fellow Cancerians Nelson Mandela and Princess Diana). No hiding in the shadows or sulking on the sidelines.
SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)
Scorpios can be very intense – especially at the moment, with manic, fiery Mars also transiting through your sign. But this week, the Libran sun and peacemaker Venus are visiting your solitude and spirituality zones – so it’s time to cool down and contemplate.
PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)
It’s not a good week to take on challenges or make important decisions. There’s a nebulous Venus/Neptune opposition, so life could be complicated, physical energies low and relationships confusing. A financial matter looks perplexing for many Pisceans.
8. Is Barcelona on the east or west coast of Spain?
