From the editor While Ingrid Nelson enjoys a well-deserved long weekend in Byron Bay after bringing you another stunning spring edition of Salt magazine, I’ve been holding down the fort at the editor’s desk here at My Weekly Preview. There’s plenty to discover in this week’s edition, including the inspiring story behind Sunshine Coast Business Woman of the Year Agnes Pennay, whose achievements are a wonderful reminder of the women making their mark in our community. We also hear from our ever-entertaining columnists, with Ashley Robinson reminding us to cherish the gift of time with our parents, while Sami Muirhead shares the parenting fail that earned her the dubious title of ‘the worst parent in the world’ after forgetting to pick up her son from a school event. There’s also plenty happening on the sporting front. This weekend, the Sunshine Coast Falcons will battle for a spot in the Hostplus Cup grand final for the first time since 2017. My partner, former Falcons captain Patrice Siolo, will also be fighting for a grand final spot, but in the opposing camp with the Redcliffe Dolphins. Needless to say, I’ll be cheering for both teams! You’ll find all the details about this weekend’s game at Sunshine Coast Stadium, along with plenty more to see and do, in our ever-expanding What’s On guide. Enjoy the weekend!

AGENDA
Eva Barker
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR’S APP PUTS PRIVACY FIRST ‘Dotti’ tracks periods, cycles, pregnancy and wellbeing data, but keeps users’ health information on their own devices.
A
t 15, Eva Barker is still juggling Year 10 classes, school commitments and the usual demands of teenage life. She is also building a women’s health app, teaching herself about technology and data privacy and, most recently, taking her ideas to Canberra, where she connected with Australia’s Chief of Army and representatives from the US and UK embassies. It is a remarkable trajectory for the Pacific Lutheran College student, whose privacy-first period and cycle companion, ‘Dotti’, began with a much more personal
problem. When Eva got her first period, she went looking for an app she felt comfortable using. She couldn’t find one. “The apps out there were inappropriate, confusing and honestly … ugly,” Eva says. “None of them supported my faith and none felt like they were made for girls like me. I wanted to build something women of all ages would actually use.” So, she decided to create her own. Dotti is designed as a period, cycle, pregnancy and wellbeing companion that keeps users’ health information on their own device rather than in a central database. An on-device AI companion is
designed to learn patterns over time, while users can track symptoms and cycles and prepare notes to take to medical appointments. For Eva, however, the technology is only part of the point. “Dotti proves that women deserve technology that respects them,” she says. “Your cycle data is some of the most intimate information you have – and it should never be sold, shared or used against you.” The issue of privacy in period-tracking technology has attracted considerable international attention in recent years. Most recently, global women’s health app Flo Health and Google have agreed to pay a combined $US56million to settle a US class action involving allegations over the handling of Flo users’ reproductive health data, with Flo contributing $US8million and Google $US48million. The companies deny wrongdoing and the settlement received preliminary court approval in April. These issues are something Eva says strengthened her determination to build privacy into Dotti from the outset. “Women are pushing back. Privacy is not a luxury, it’s the baseline,” she says. “Dotti exists because women deserve to track their health without fear.” That thinking has now taken the Sunshine Coast teenager well beyond the classroom. Eva was nominated for the Rising Woman in Cyber Award at the International Women in Cyber Day Awards in Canberra and travelled to the capital for the September event. There, she had the opportunity to connect with some of the country’s most senior figures in defence and cyber, including the Chief of Army Lieutenant General Susan Coyle, as well as representatives from the US and UK embassies. The Canberra Cyber Hub is also
supporting the young developer by featuring Dotti through its own channels. It is impressive territory for someone who has not yet finished Secondary school, but Eva’s entrepreneurial streak started much earlier. “When I was five, I sold paper planes to neighbours. At eight, I made perfumes in the school playground. At 13, I sold jewellery at markets,” she says. “Every one of those experiences taught me how to create things people care about.” Pacific Lutheran College head of Middle College learning Jo Belchamber says the project demonstrates what young people can achieve when they are encouraged to think critically about the world around them. “What Eva has built in her own time, without being asked, is remarkable,” she says. “She demonstrates that young people can create meaningful change when they think critically and act with purpose.” Mrs Belchamber says Eva has balanced the project with the demands of her Year 10 academic program and her wider involvement in college life. For Eva, that balancing act has been demanding, but worthwhile. “I’m proud that I’ve built this while managing school and commitments seven days a week,” she says. “The workload is huge, but every challenge is part of the learning journey. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” Dotti is being developed for women and girls through different stages of life – from first periods through to pregnancy and perimenopause – with features also intended to help users document symptoms associated with conditions including endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Grapefruits are a natural hybrid of sweet oranges and pomelos that originated in Barbados. Most commercial varieties, such as Ruby Red, have been selectively bred for sweetness and colour. Naturally occurring pomelos (the grapefruit’s larger ancestor) can be quite bitter, and initial grapefruits were very tart.

FEATURE STORY
Martin and Agnes Pennay with her parents
SUCCESS ACROSS CULTURES AND CONTINENTS The 2026 Sunshine Coast Business Woman of the Year certainly knows how to pivot to make the most of opportunities and is now putting her professional and life skills to work at the Coast’s largest retail butcher and teaching yoga at Bloomhill Cancer Care. WORDS: Abbey Cannan.
B
efore Princeton, Fortune 500 clients and a Maroochydore butcher shop, there was a seven-year-old girl leaving Seoul in South Korea with her family. Sunshine Coast Business Woman of the Year Agnes Pennay grew up between different cultures and continents, learning early that life could change direction in an instant. She moved to the United States with her family when she was seven, but by Year 9, Agnes was back in Korea, before returning to the US once again to attend university. “I experienced a lot of change growing up,” she says. “I enjoyed my high school years, social groups and academics in general and writing in particular. “My parents were quite liberal in how they raised my brother and me. So, we had a lot of freedom.” Her academic journey eventually took
12 My Weekly Preview | September 17, 2026
her to Princeton University, where she completed a Bachelor of Economics before beginning a career that would take her from New York to Singapore and Tokyo. “My first job was with the management consulting firm Kearney in New York. It gave me eye opening exposure to Fortune 500 clients, and those formative years of long, intense hours honed my understanding of business and work ethic,” Agnes says. During the dot.com boom, a senior consultant recruited Agnes and several colleagues to join a B2B startup, taking her to Singapore. It was there that she met the love of her life, Martin, who would become her husband. When the couple later moved to Tokyo, Agnes switched directions again, into luxury marketing. “The whole journey felt so natural and normal at the time as a fearless young
person. Looking back, I realise that it was such an adventure,” she says. Eventually, family brought Agnes and Martin back to Australia. “After having three children in three different countries, Martin and I wanted stability and nearby grandparents, who
“I have always prioritised building a rewarding personal life as a firm foundation for any professional success” lived on the Sunshine Coast,” she says. Their years in Asia had shown them the value placed on fresh Australian produce overseas, while Martin’s background in commodity sales had fuelled his interest in the beef industry.
In 2016, they bought a local butcher shop in Maroochydore. For Agnes, it was a huge departure from the corporate world. “I felt quite out of place in the early stages as I transitioned from a corporate world of ideas to a manufacturing environment of the real economy, especially after 10 years out of the paid workforce raising young children,” she says. “The only way to really earn the trust and respect of employees was to just keep learning, contributing what I could and relying on their expertise. “There was no ‘fast track’ way to do this, and only the passage of time and proof of steady success can turn sceptics into believers.” The small business they bought has since become Fresh Meats: a Sunshine Coast-owned butcher, producer and food service provider employing more than 140 local people. In 10 years, sales have grown 20-fold, myweeklypreview.com.au
FEATURE STORY while the business has become the Coast’s largest retail butcher and now makes about 800 wholesale deliveries each week across Queensland. Fresh Meats supplies customers across hospitality, retail, education, healthcare, aged care and other institutional sectors. Its Butcher & Chef ready-meal range is stocked through a growing network of independent retailers, while Butcher & Bark produces natural pet food. But building that success has come at a cost. “We have made a massive financial commitment to this business but also of our time and energy and literal blood, sweat and tears,” Agnes says. Business ownership, she says, does not come with a neat finish line at the end of Friday afternoon. “Every business owner understands viscerally that there is no 9-5, Monday to Friday, clock-in-and-out nature of business ownership, unless it is very established, and even then, one cannot take anything for granted,” she says. While business keeps Agnes busy, teaching weekly yoga at Bloomhill Cancer Care remains an important and meaningful part of her life. “Yoga has been a part of my life for 30 years and the continuity of commitment and practice matters to me greatly,” she says. “I can see the impact of my short but valued sessions on the clients, and that time nourishes all of us with hope and gratitude as well. “Bloomhill is such an oasis, both physically and energetically, and the Sunshine Coast community is fortunate to have it. “I started teaching there in 2015, but when we experienced cancer in the family just after Covid, it meant that much more.” Bloomhill general manager Mervat Quirke says Agnes’s contribution has a lasting impact on people who come through its doors.
myweeklypreview.com.au
Agnes (second from right) graduating from Princeton University in the US “The best measure of leadership isn’t just what someone achieves, it’s how they show up along the way,” Mervat says. “Agnes creates an hour where our clients can simply focus on themselves and provides ready-made meals that our nurses can quietly place into the hands of clients when that extra bit of care is needed most.” Agnes’s sense of family and community extends into another major project she is close to completing: a memoir about her grandparents and their experiences during the Korean War. “My paternal grandmother was an exceptional businesswoman who established the Korean fashion industry, but I realised that my children would never fully know her story because her autobiography is in Korean,” she says. “My maternal grandfather also played an important role during the Korean War, but there was only an oral history that would inevitably fade over time. “I felt compelled to share their legacy with our girls and also realised that
intergenerational experiences of war, strong women and family history have universal appeal.” Her grandparents’ experiences have also influenced how Agnes measures her own life. She grew up seeing the effects of too much focus on work, even when that commitment came from necessity or a sense of calling. “I have always prioritised building a rewarding personal life as the firm foundation for any professional success,” she says. “I also try to remember that, for the most part, my problems are of the ‘first world’ kind and that I am not living through war trauma while dealing with the general challenges of life.” That perspective was evident when Agnes was recently named Outstanding Business Woman of the Year at the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network (SCBWN) awards at Venue 114, Bokarina. Her parents were there to watch their
50-year-old daughter receive the honour after they had immigrated to Australia themselves in their seventies. “There are times even now when I feel that I am not spending enough time with them as they transition to a totally different way of living in a new country,” Agnes says. “They know all too well about family business from their own experiences. “But still, they worry that we are working too much. “The award is a celebration and vindication of the sacrifices we have made and continue to make.” SCBWN judge Kaitlyn Akers says the recognition reflects the grit behind what Fresh Meats has become. “Your work, your team, your determination and incredible drive shine every day in the business Fresh Meats has become,” Kaitlyn says. Agnes’s definition of business success goes well beyond sales figures. “Business success is not just about financial outcomes. True success lives in the relationships we build with our staff, our customers, our suppliers and our communities,” she says. Fresh Meats has always supported local schools, sporting clubs and other community causes across the Coast. “This award belongs to the whole Fresh Meats team and I hope it shows all our daughters what women are capable of,” she says.

PARTNERSHIP HELPS SURF FARM PLAN MOVE FORWARD Plans for the Sunshine Coast’s major Surf Farm development have gained fresh momentum, with the project confirming an ongoing strategic partnership with wave park developer and operator URBNSURF Partners. Surf Farm director Chris Salmon says the partnership enables the project’s commercial plan to be tested and refined against real, live performance data from URBNSURF’s own parks in Melbourne and Sydney. “This is an important partnership to rigorously assess our commercial projections and operating assumptions against actual figures on how Australian and international tourists are using, booking and returning to wave park experiences in Melbourne and Sydney on a daily basis,” he says.
myweeklypreview.com.au
“Our team is working alongside URBNSURF to test every material assumption in the project’s commercial model, including demand and pricing to membership, events, seasonality and catchment.” Surf Farm will be located on a 10ha site at Glass House Mountains on the Bruce Highway leading into the region. Once built, the attraction will feature a Wavegarden Cove lagoon configured with 62 modules which can deliver one of the widest ranges of programmable wave settings in the Southern Hemisphere, and creating a facility suited to everyone from first-time beginners to elite surfers. Beyond the wave pool attraction, Surf Farm is planned to include food and beverage offerings, retail, community gathering spaces, events programming and spectator areas. Chris says he expects preliminary earthworks to begin on site early next year.
An app designed to help people manage allergies has taken out the top prize at the 2026 Generation Innovation Challenge. The announcement caps months of mentoring, research, business planning and pitching for a cohort of young entrepreneurs. Julia Rejman was crowned the winner at Pitch Night on September 2, after three finalists took to the stage to deliver their final pitches and showcase everything they had developed throughout the challenge. Her venture, Allergy Arc, is designed to give people greater confidence managing allergies wherever they are. Julia’s app brings together allergy and medication information, trigger and reaction tracking, emergency functionality and tools to help others recognise and respond safely to an allergic reaction. Zeke Pari was named a runner-up for MESR: a venture aiming to transform how public infrastructure is inspected. His concept uses vision-based technology to scan infrastructure and identify and analyse defects, helping to automate a traditionally manual process. Christian Fernando also was named a runner-up for InvestiGate: a gamified financial education app designed to help Secondary students learn how to invest
Julia Rejman and develop sustainable financial habits. His concept combines curriculum-aligned learning with an engaging experience focused on preparing young people for life beyond school. The finalists pitched to a judging panel including Youi CEO Nat Simpson, Regional Development Australia Moreton Bay and Sunshine Coast CEO Paul Fisher and representatives from BeWell Brands and Jetts Fitness, Walker Corp and Sunshine Coast Council. The Spirit of GI Award was presented to Amaia Van Zuydam, Ozzy Clarke and Sebastian Roach for embodying the values and spirit of Generation Innovation throughout the challenge.

COAST SIBLING TRIO DOMINATING VOLLEYBALL
Dr Lochlan Fennell
UNISC JOINS NEW NATIONAL CENTRE FOR BOWEL CANCER A University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) cancer biologist is one of 22 leading experts selected to be part of a $5.8million national Centre of Research Excellence to find the causes of early-onset bowel cancer. The UniSC cancer researcher Dr Lochlan Fennell, who is establishing a biobank on the Coast to analyse human tissue donated by bowel cancer patients under the age of 50, will join the centre to be known as ARTEMIS. Announced by the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Early-Onset Bowel Cancer Centre of Research Excellence is a five-year program investigating factors contributing to the fast-rising number of cases in Australia. About 1900 younger Australians are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year. Dr Fennell seeks to determine if modern living is contributing to the increased diagnoses.

Maliha, Fesaitu, and Leilina Flexman will compete in the Under-17 Girls, Under-15 Boys and Under-14 Girls Queensland indoor volleyball squads respectively. The siblings also represented Queensland at the Australian Youth Beach Volleyball Championships in Coolangatta in March,
TOURISM INDUSTRY WARNS VISA CHANGES COULD HIT THE WRONG TARGET Maliha, Fesaitu, and Leilina Flexman marking a second 2026 national campaign. “As you can imagine, flying three elite junior athletes from the Sunshine Coast to Western Australia is a massive financial undertaking for a local family,” their mother Kim Flexman says. Local businesses interested in sponsoring the rising athletes can contact kim.flexman@gmail.com
ALLIANCE SAYS GREATER EATING DISORDER ACTION IS NEEDED The Eating Disorders Alliance has called on the federal government to invest more than $28million to strengthen eating disorder prevention, treatment and support across Australia. With the rise in the use of imported peptides, including unregulated access to weight-loss injectables, unapproved synthetic peptides increasingly being sold online under the guise of ‘research chemicals’ and a renewed narrowing of body ideals in celebrity and influencer culture, the call comes at a time of heightened risk.
“We are being sold ‘wellness’ that is anything but well,” Butterfly Foundation CEO Jim Hungerford says, “Unregulated injectables and peptides are marketed to Australians as selfimprovement, while celebrity culture celebrates ever-smaller bodies. “For the millions of people vulnerable to body dissatisfaction and eating disorders, this is a perfect storm and the system of care is not ready for it. “Government has the opportunity this week to hear one voice and one ask from the entire sector.”
The Queensland Tourism Industry Council (QTIC) is calling on the federal government to protect the number of Kenneth Wagner international visitors coming to Australia. A decision on visitor and Working Holiday Maker visa settings could be made within weeks, with QTIC warning that Queensland tourism operators risk being caught up in broader efforts to reduce net overseas migration, despite Working Holiday Makers and longerstay visitors playing a distinct role in the visitor economy. KPAT Hotels managing director Kenneth Wagner says, “As an owner and operator of hospitality businesses across Queensland, we see first-hand how important workforce availability is to the capacity of a hotel, restaurant or venue to perform. “Working Holiday Makers are an important part of that workforce mix.”

Projects underway Plenty of work is happening across the region. Projects include a new disabilityaccessible (Disability Discrimination Act-compliant) pedestrian ramp to Coolum’s Main Beach, a new pathway for Peregian residents, a replacement shelter at Dunethin Rock and a pump track in Coolum. Other projects about to start include pathways and road upgrades across Division 9 and design works for a multipurpose half-court in Parklakes, additional seating at Muller Park skate ramp, a Coolum Sports Field upgrade and the new Mountain Bike Facility at Maroochy River.
Help protect local wildlife Spring is here and you are likely to see more of our native animals. In the past few weeks, we’ve had sightings of koalas in Doonan, echidnas in Weyba Downs and you’ve likely heard about ‘Dolly’, the juvenile long-nosed fur seal who
has been resting along Coolum’s coastline. Citizen science plays a vital role in conservation and every observation counts. By reporting wildlife sightings, residents can help researchers, conservation groups and government agencies track animal movements, understand habitat use and respond more effectively to threats. You can report koala and kangaroo sightings through the free QWildlife app by uploading the location, photographs and observations about the animal’s appearance and condition. Any sick, injured or orphaned animals should be reported immediately by calling 1300 ANIMAL (1300 264 625). Residents who encounter echidnas can contribute valuable information through Echidna Watch at wildlife.org.au I’d like to thank the dedicated volunteers from Coolum and North Shore Coast Care, who have been working closely with Sunshine Coast Council and the Queensland Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation to help ensure ‘Dolly’ can rest safely over her visit. If you come across an injured, sick or deceased marine animal, call the Marine Animal Hotline on 1300 130 372 and select option 1 for strandings, or submit a report through the free QWildlife app. Contact me on 5475 9810 or at maria. suarez@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

Mudjimba Beach shelter Cr Taylor Bunnag Division 8
Division 8 highlights There’s plenty happening across our beautiful region, and I’m excited to share a few local highlights that are helping keep our community moving and connected.
Christiansen Park Playground I’m excited to share that Christiansen Park in Maroochydore is set for a playground upgrade that will provide more fun and engaging play opportunities for local families. As a dad with two young children, I know how important great local parks are. After hearing from residents in 2024 about improving the playground, I’ve worked closely with Sunshine Coast Council officers to develop a plan that includes a new multi-play tower, swings, additional seating, upgraded drainage and new sand softfall, while retaining popular play equipment and protecting the park’s beautiful, mature fig trees where possible. This upgrade responds directly to
The new Beach Access 124 shelter at Mudjimba is now complete and open for the community to enjoy. This was a long-standing request from local residents who wanted to make better use of the viewing deck throughout the year, regardless of the weather. I’ve already heard from many locals about how much they appreciate the shelter. It’s one of the best spots around our region to take in the magical views and a great outcome for our community.
Marcoola Esplanade pathway upgrade I’m pleased to see improvements underway to the pathway opposite the surf lifesaving club on Marcoola Esplanade. The project includes a new 1.8m-wide pathway, upgraded pedestrian kerb ramps and an additional on-street parking space. Thank you to residents and visitors for their patience while works are completed.

BEYOND THE BILLBOARD There’s a bit more science behind destination marketing than putting a beautiful Sunshine Coast beach on a billboard and hoping for the best. When we promote the region, we think carefully about who we want to reach, when we want them to visit and what we hope they’ll discover while they’re here. Our latest ‘Sunshine Moments’ campaign, now live across Queensland, Sydney and Melbourne, is a good example. This spring, we’re reaching travellers who are interested in the experiences the region is known for: nature, food and drink, wellness, events, outdoor adventures, family time and simply slowing down. Reaching travellers who value these kinds of experiences matters because how they spend their time here has a flow-on effect across the community. Someone who eats at a local restaurant,
books a tour, visits a hinterland town or discovers a small producer they hadn’t heard of before spreads their spending well beyond their accommodation. When they visit matters, too. School holidays naturally bring strong demand. The weeks in between can look very different for hotels, attractions, tours, restaurants and cafes. Good destination marketing helps smooth that out by giving people reasons to travel at different times of the year. But perhaps the most important part is attracting people who genuinely connect with what makes this place special. That’s what our campaign is really about: encouraging visitors to experience the Sunshine Coast in the same way we love to experience it ourselves. We call those experiences ‘Sunshine Moments’. It might be a swim before breakfast, an indulgent lunch in the hinterland, a walk through the forest, live music with friends or simply an afternoon with nowhere else to be. And you can get involved, too. Share your own ‘Sunshine Moment’ on social media by tagging: @VisitSunshineCoast and using #SunshineCoastForReal. You can find more Sunshine Moments at visitsunshinecoast.com/find-yoursunshine-moment-for-real.

MY OPINION
MAKE MOMENTS TO REMEMBER
THE WOES OF A THIRD-BORN CHILD
Ashley Robinson has come to realise how precious our time is with parents and children and how we should talk to them about the things that matter.
Sami Muirhead is still copping some flak after forgetting an important errand she was supposed to do one Saturday afternoon recently.
I
have never been much of a fan of Father’s Day, Mother’s Day or Easter, mainly because of how commercial they all are. I still participate but they’re not really my thing. I will say that I do get the spiritual side of Easter and enjoy that, as well as watching kids gets excited over the bunny. But the whole three of them are way too overcommercialised. That’s not to say I don’t hold mums in high regard. I also don’t mind copping a pair of socks, undies or a bottle of rum or bourbon on Father’s Day. I have changed my view a little of late, with Father’s Day just gone. I had a bit of an epiphany moment while down the beach with George, my kelpie-cross and resident therapist, on the morning of Father’s Day. I was talking and he was listening (well, I always hope he is) and I was thinking about what the day really means: not socks and undies, not the grog, not that blanket advertising, but what it actually means. This is what we came up with, George and his patient – a gift to whoever has a father or mother alive. I realised that my dad Len, who passed away at 66 when I was 26, was a hard-working, honest, quiet,
no-nonsense parent who provided for us above and beyond what we could afford. To this day, I don’t know how he did it. He never owed anyone, bank included, and we basically had everything we needed and a whole lot of fun along the way. But I’m not sure he had everything he needed or deserved. The thing is, I could never have an intimate conversation with him – and the really sad part is, I can’t remember the last conversation we had as his passing was sudden. He wasn’t the type of bloke to have intimate conversations. He was the type of parent who would tell me after a game of footy, only if asked, what I did wrong – not what I did right. Of course, as I got older, I could have been a whole lot more grateful for what he had done for me, but I did not – which I regret. Funnily enough, it probably would have made him uncomfortable. So, our gift to you is to talk to your parents if you are lucky enough to still have them and talk to your kids. Make sure you make the moments that you will all remember. That is way better that socks, undies and even grog. Happy Parents’ Day from Ashley and George xx
Ashley Robinson is Metropolitan Caloundra Surf Club CEO, chairman of Thunder Netball and a lifetime Sunshine Coast resident.
W
ho hasn’t forgotten to pick up their child? Well, I did just that and now my third-born has labelled me the worst parent in the world. Perhaps I should introduce him to Kevin’s McCallister’s parents from Home Alone, or the Dursley family from Harry Potter who made the poor orphan sleep in a cupboard under the staircase. The third-born child really does have a different upbringing to the rest of their siblings, don’t they? My youngest has not let me live down the fact that I forgot about picking him up from a rugby break-up celebration at the school. My Year 6 boy spent three hours on the rugby field by himself on a Saturday afternoon and, in the end, had to ask the ice-cream truck people to use their phone to ring me to let me know all the other parents and kids had long gone home. It was getting dark, to be fair, and even the paid workers were packing up to go home. I obviously thought the ice-cream truck caller was spam or someone trying to sell me something – so, I ignored it. Augie then had to ring my sister, who then rang
me to tell me the alarming news my son was stranded at school. I picked him up and he was looking a little dejected, very sunburnt and moderately dehydrated. But third kids basically raise themselves, don’t they? I am also a third child and I was a pig in mud every school day as I made my two-minute noodles for afternoon tea and watched Days of Our Lives on TV. Mum was a single parent and was always working. So, I just got on with it. I was incredibly loved, but I could cook a roast dinner, clean the house and catch a bus anywhere by myself by the time I was 12. My youngest is allowed to do milestones such as going to the movies with friends – much earlier than his elder brother or sister did. He is basically raising himself, it seems, some days. He does not have a baby book and I think the dog ate his first curl that I cut off and immediately lost in my blur of sleep deprivation. My boy will rib me about my faux pas of forgetting him for a long while to come. But the truth is, I could not love that little guy more. He is my sun and my moon. I just had too many things going on that day for my fried brain to cope.

A SPICE GIRLS HUG
Katrina Brennan
Garry Reynolds knows it’s the little things in life that make all the difference – and we should embrace the joy they can bring.
T
here are moments in life when you overhear something so perfectly honest, so unintentionally funny, yet strangely sad. I was in a café recently when one woman sighed to another: “The last time I got a decent hug from my husband was when the Spice Girls broke up.” Now, depending on your memory, that was roughly seven prime ministers ago. Either way, it’s been a while. Even in a long marriage, it’s a dry spell worthy of Bureau of Meteorology attention. But she didn’t sound angry — just resigned, as if she’d quietly accepted that physical affection in long relationships has a use-by date, like yoghurt or political promises. And yet, tucked inside the glib aside was a small ache. A close hug isn’t just arms around shoulders. It’s reassurance. It’s connection. It’s the gentle reminder that you’re still someone’s favourite person. Long marriages are funny creatures. They begin with fireworks, settle into routine and eventually become a kind of comfortable duet where both partners know the steps so well they forget to
dance. Life creeps in – kids, work, mortgages, health scares, the debates over who left the wet towel on the bed or forgot the anniversary. That one hurts – really hurts. Somewhere along the way, hugs become functional: hello, goodbye, sorry about that thing I said. Which is why the lady’s comment landed so sharply. It wasn’t about the Spice Girls. It was about missing the small acts of tenderness that once arrived without prompting. Affection doesn’t vanish in long relationships — it just gets quieter. Less Spice Girls, more ABC Classic FM. But quiet doesn’t mean gone. Sometimes it just needs a nudge, a laugh or a gentle reminder that even after decades together, a hug still matters. So if you’re lucky enough to have someone – whether they’re a natural hugger or one of those stiff-armed ‘I’m hugging under protest’ units – wrap your arms around them. Don’t wait for a Spice Girls reunion tour. Love doesn’t expire. It just occasionally forgets to limber up – and that’s nothing a well-timed hug can’t fix.

THE LITTLE MOMENTS THAT MATTER MOST IN AGED CARE
W
hen people think about aged care, they often consider the big things: health support, personal care, medication management and safety. These services are essential. But ask any older person what brightens their day and you’ll often hear about something else that nourishes their spirit.
It’s the care worker who remembers how they take their tea. The friendly face that arrives at the front door each morning. The conversation about grandchildren, favourite football teams or a treasured memory from years gone by. These moments may seem insignificant, but they can make all the difference.
For many older Australians living at home, loneliness can be one of the greatest challenges. A daily visit is about far more than completing a task. It is reassurance, connection and the comfort of seeing someone who genuinely cares. A few minutes spent sharing a laugh or listening to a story can turn an ordinary day into a meaningful one. Personal care, too, is about more than practical support. When provided with kindness and respect, it preserves dignity and independence, helping people feel confident and valued in their own homes. All About Living staff see every day how small interactions create lasting impact. Whether it’s companionship during a walk, assistance with daily routines or simply taking the time to listen, these moments build trust and enrich lives. In aged care, the moments that matter most are often the simplest. It’s the friendly greeting, the shared smile and the simple act of being there. And sometimes, those little moments matter most of all. If you or a loved one could benefit from compassionate support at home, talk to the All About Living team about our personalised care and companionship services. Visit allaboutliving.com.au
SCORES STUCK IN HOSPITALS AWAITING PLACEMENTS Almost 100 older Sunshine Coast residents who are ready to leave hospital are occupying beds while they wait for agedcare placements. Queensland Health data shows more than 1100 people are in the same position statewide, with the number of long-stay patients experiencing delayed discharge more than tripling since 2022. Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service chief executive Peter Gillies says prolonged hospital stays could affect older people’s mobility and ability to live independently, while tying up beds and staff needed by others requiring urgent care. The federal government told Sunshine Coast News it is investing heavily in aged care and working with states and territories to ensure older Australians are not left in hospital when they are ready to move to more suitable care. Mr Gillies says older people should leave hospital, returning home or to a community setting supporting recovery, as soon as it is safe and appropriate, ensuring hospital resources remain available for others. “For older Queenslanders, staying in hospital longer than necessary can expose them to risks including reduced mobility and loss of independence,” he says.

A NEW CHAPTER TAKES SHAPE AT INGENIA LIFESTYLE DRIFT Excitement is building on the Bundaberg coastline, with construction now underway on The Edge Clubhouse at Ingenia Lifestyle Drift. Marked by an official sod turn ceremony in August, this impressive new oceanfront facility represents a significant investment in community living and will further enhance the lifestyle enjoyed by residents at the growing over-50s community. Expected to open in late 2027, The Edge has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its spectacular Coral Sea outlook, providing a place where neighbours can connect, relax and enjoy the best of coastal living. The multi-million-dollar clubhouse will feature a resort-style swimming pool, cinema, library and business hub, games lounge, entertainers’ kitchen, arts and
crafts room, meeting spaces and informal dining areas. Outdoors, a poolside terrace with barbecue facilities will create another inviting space to gather with family and friends or simply unwind. The Edge will complement the community’s existing Club Drift, which opened in 2025 and has become a vibrant hub for health, fitness and recreation. Together, the two clubhouses will offer a diverse range of amenities, balancing active pursuits and wellbeing with opportunities for socialising, entertaining and relaxation. As Ingenia Lifestyle Drift continues to grow towards its vision of 326 homes, developments such as The Edge reflect the community’s commitment to creating a place where life-minded people can connect, stay active and embrace a lifestyle centred on wellbeing. For residents, it is another step in creating a community where friendships flourish and every day feels like a holiday. Visit ingenialifestyle.com.au/ communities/qld/wide-bay/drift-bargara
GemLife Elimbah is preparing to launch Stage 2, marking the latest milestone for the growing over-50s community ahead of an upcoming open day that features three new display homes. The next stage comes as the resort continues to take shape, with work progressing on the premium facilities that will form the heart of the community. Among the first to call GemLife Elimbah home are Jennifer and Ron Smelt, who say they have found their ‘perfect’ place. “When we saw how spacious the homes were, we were hooked,” Jennifer says. Staying local was important to the couple, with the resort’s peaceful setting and proximity to shops, the hospital and highway adding to its appeal. Their new home also has plenty of room for entertaining, including an outdoor area ready for the wine-and-cheese nights Jennifer is already planning. For Les and Karen Elliott, the decision came even faster. After a neighbour mentioned GemLife Elimbah, they attended an open day – and within four days had signed up for their new home. “It ticked all our boxes,” Karen says. “The thought that’s gone into the resort layout is amazing.”
Located just north of Caboolture and bordered by a nature and recreational reserve, GemLife Elimbah combines semi-rural serenity with easy access to everyday essentials and some of Southeast Queensland’s favourite destinations. Modern, energy-efficient homes sit within landscaped surrounds, while upcoming resort facilities include a double-storey Country Club with a heated lap pool, golf simulator, cinema, ballroom and creative arts studio. GemLife Elimbah’s Spring Open Day on Saturday, October 24, will give visitors the opportunity to explore three beautifully styled display homes, learn more about the upcoming facilities and experience the surrounds first-hand. Choose from five personally guided sessions from 9am. Registrations are essential. RSVP by Friday, October 23, at gemlife.com.au/gelopen

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES MADE IN REVERSE TOTAL SHOULDER REPLACEMENT Recent technological advances have significantly improved the outcomes of reverse total shoulder replacements, offering patients enhanced precision, efficiency and overall success rates. One notable advancement is the use of computer-assisted surgical navigation systems, which allow surgeons to create a 3D model of the patient’s shoulder anatomy before the procedure. This technology helps surgeons plan the surgery with greater accuracy, leading to improved implant placement and overall function post-operatively. Additionally, the development of patient-specific implants utilising 3D printing technology has revolutionised the field of shoulder replacement surgery. These custom implants are tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy, resulting in a better fit and potentially reducing the risk of complications such as implant loosening or instability. Another significant advancement in reverse total shoulder replacements is the use of augmented reality (AR) technology during surgery. AR technology provides real-time guidance to the surgeon, overlaying digital information onto the

patient’s anatomy to help optimise implant positioning and alignment. This technology enhances surgical precision and can lead to improved patient outcomes. These technological advances in reverse total shoulder replacements continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in shoulder surgery. Patients considering this procedure should discuss these technological advancements with their orthopaedic surgeon to understand how these innovations may benefit their case. WORDS: Dr Joe Coory.

With a vibrant community flourishing at Sunrise Beach Village and only a handful of move-in ready homes remaining, the development’s final stage is now well underway. For anyone ready to make a move, the village’s final villas are selling quickly. These spacious, modern homes offer a combination of comfort, convenience and flexibility. Ready to move into now, they feature modern layouts, premium appliances and the freedom of a true lock-up-and-leave lifestyle, giving residents more time to enjoy everything the Sunshine Coast has to offer. The launch of the village’s final stage is just around the corner, bringing a collection of 54 spacious two- and three-bedroom apartments opposite the natural beauty of Girraween Nature Reserve.
From morning swims to afternoons with friends, residents will have access to exceptional resort-style amenities and welcoming spaces designed to support an active, connected lifestyle. Behind the scenes, construction continues to progress well and Stage 3 remains on track for completion in 2027. The final major concrete pour is expected in the coming months, marking another significant milestone for the development. With almost 80 per cent of villas already secured, the community continues to attract strong interest from those seeking a coastal lifestyle. Those considering their next chapter are invited to take a village tour and discover this unique coastal community.

AURACAST TECHNOLOGY BRINGS NEW CLARITY TO HEARING AID USERS For millions of people living with hearing loss, background noise, distant speakers and crowded venues have long been daily frustrations. Now, a new Bluetooth technology called Auracast is set to change that experience for good. Auracast is a broadcast audio feature built on Bluetooth Low Energy, allowing audio to be streamed directly from a source – a television, public address system, cinema screen or airport gate – straight into compatible hearing aids. Instead of straining to catch announcements or turning up a TV until it disturbs the household, users can simply tune in to a nearby Auracast broadcast and hear it crystal clear. The impact for people with hearing loss could be profound. Public spaces such as theatres, places of worship, lecture halls and airports are increasingly rolling out Auracast transmitters, meaning hearing aid wearers will be able to access clear, direct audio in places where clarity has always been hardest to achieve. Crucially, Auracast is expected to become a standard feature in most

newly updated hearing aids, as manufacturers move quickly to build in compatibility. However, if you’re currently using a device that is four years old or more, it’s unlikely to support this technology. An upgrade may now be essential to take advantage of everything Auracast offers. With this exciting shift on the horizon, there has never been a better time to book an appointment with a trusted hearing clinic. A qualified audiometrist can explain how Auracast works, assess whether your current hearing aids are compatible and guide you toward a device that keeps you connected to the world around you. Rebekah Ostby is an experienced audiometrist at Hear4Good: an independent and locally owned hearing clinic in Caloundra and Golden Beach. Call 5477 0144 or visit hear4good.com.au
HORIZON LIVING STAGE 4 HOMESITES TAKE SHAPE TWELVE of the 14 homesites comprising Stage 4 of Horizon Living have been snapped up before being released to the public, as the premium Gympie over-50s resort released two new home designs and the community’s first road was poured. “We’ve had a fantastic response to Stage 4 with 12 of the homesites being secured by members of our Priority Club,” Horizon Living director Will McGovern says. “The final two homesites will now be released to the general public.” Priority Club members pay a $500 refundable deposit, with their membership ensuring they have first option on homesites and extra time to select their favoured location. Stage 4 pricing starts from $719,000 for single-level homes, with the new two-level Osprey and Magnolia homes featuring double garages and private lifts, priced from $1,195,000. Homes in Stage 4, all of which are positioned to take advantage of an elevated easterly outlook, will be completed before the end of next year. Meanwhile, final sewer, water and electrical services have been completed through the first two streets, while the first road was poured in early September – the culmination of eight months of major earthworks and civil construction. Building approvals have been received and the first home set-outs are scheduled to begin in mid-September. Home construction will soon follow, and Horizon Living executives expect about 50 homes will be built each year. “With strong sales, we now have a substantial pipeline of homes ahead, providing continuity of construction and helping maintain a consistent, high standard of workmanship and finishes from one home to the next,” Mr McGovern says. “Over the coming months, we’ll begin to see Horizon Living really take shape above ground, with homes under construction, new streets opening and landscaping beginning to transform the community.” Call 0403 954 604 for an appointment or drop into the office in Condies Arcade, 163 Mary Street, Gympie, on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10am to 2pm.
How to chew, talk and yawn without pain Living with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain can turn simple daily habits such as eating, talking or yawning into an uncomfortable struggle. It can even be the hidden culprit behind persistent headaches. The TMJ connects your jaw to your skull, but its influence extends much further. In fact, jaw discomfort is frequently linked to hidden tension or mobility issues in the neck and upper back. Specialised TMJ physiotherapy offers an effective, non-invasive solution. By focusing on jaw mechanics, targeted physiotherapy helps restore smooth joint movement, ease muscle tension and relieve pain. A physiotherapist with specific TMJ training will typically combine gentle hands-on therapy, acupuncture, tailored exercises and practical lifestyle advice to get you moving comfortably again. Because poor posture and neck stiffness can place extra stress on your jaw, incorporating spinal physiotherapy is often a key piece of the puzzle. If TMJ pain is disrupting your day-to-day life, a comprehensive assessment of your jaw, neck and posture can pave the way toward lasting relief.

Neurogenic claudication: why it may hurt to walk
A wider range of vision after cataract surgery
The times when skin cancer needs a flap
Future is here with biological materials
Neurogenic claudication is a condition characterised by leg pain and discomfort caused by nerve compression in the lower back, typically associated with lumbar spinal stenosis. The term ‘claudication’ refers to pain or cramping that arises during physical activity and is relieved by rest. Symptoms of neurogenic claudication include pain, numbness, tingling or weakness in the lower back, buttocks, thighs, calves or feet. The pain often worsens with activities that involve walking or standing and improves when the person sits down or bends forward. Neurosurgical intervention is considered when conservative treatments such as physical therapy and medication fail to provide sufficient relief. Surgical procedures such as laminectomy aim to create more space in the spinal canal, alleviating pressure on the affected nerves. In some cases, spinal fusion may be performed to stabilise the spine if there is instability or significant degeneration. Surgery in some cases can significantly improve symptoms, restore mobility and improve the quality of life for individuals with neurogenic claudication. If these symptoms are affecting you, a referral to a neurosurgeon can be arranged by your GP.
When discussing cataract surgery with patients, one of the most important decisions is choosing an intraocular lens that best suits their eyes and lifestyle. AllRange is an extended range lens from OphthalmoPro. Its optical design aims to provide a continuous range of functional vision, with strong distance and intermediate vision, plus useful near vision. For suitable patients, this means less reliance on glasses for driving, computer work, shopping and everyday activities. The lenses’ broad power range supports treatment across a wide range of prescriptions. No single lens suits every person. My view is that the person comes first, then the lens. I assess your prescription, corneal shape, astigmatism, retinal and optic nerve health, lifestyle and nightdriving needs before recommending an option. Some patients may need reading glasses and, as always, potential visual side effects need careful discussion and consideration. Lenses such as AllRange provide cataract patients with more personalised choices and a wider range of vision after surgery.
When a skin cancer is surgically removed, the wound left behind needs to be carefully closed. Sometimes the surrounding skin can simply be brought together with stitches. In other cases, a skin flap may provide a better option. A flap allows a surgical skin defect to be closed without excessive tension, which is important to maintain the appearance and function of skin and its structures. Nearby skin and tissue are moved into the surgical defect, while remaining attached to the blood supply. This allows wounds to be closed in complex or cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face, nose, ears or lips. Flaps can be moved in different ways. Careful design is important to get the best outcome and the choice of repair depends on the location, size and type of skin cancer. The doctors at SunLife Skin Cancer Care Centre are experienced in assessment and advice prior to skin cancer excision. They routinely perform a wide range of flap repairs on site, where clinically appropriate. No referral or private insurance is needed.
In orthopaedics today, there is ongoing research into biological materials to aid in the repair of degenerative tendons and cartilage. Biologics are materials that interact with the body’s own healing process. Orthopaedics prostheses have already benefitted from new materials and surgical techniques. But this ongoing analysis of biologics is exciting. Many people in the community are still told that joint replacements last about 10 years with poorer outcomes. That is no longer true. We now know that with our modern devices and materials, hip and knee replacements can last 15 to 20 years or more in most individuals. Our current artificial materials include metals alloys that allow ceramics, screws and plastics to fix a fracture. Now, we are researching biologics. Will the research into biological materials to aid in the repair of degenerative tendons and cartilage show a further improvement? This is a harder question. For now, the joints of people over the age of 55 can often be reliably repaired or reconstructed with artificial materials with a good functional result. But in the future, modern techniques may give a better result to pain and function of your joint.

Mercury and Jupiter energise your leisure and friendship zones so it’s a wonderful week to host a party, attend a concert, take up a hobby or make a friend. On the weekend, the sun/Neptune opposition and full moon (in Aries) could stir up problems with a loved one.
Expect a rather intense week, Taurus, as the fiery full moon stirs vivid dreams, hidden compulsions or submerged secrets. You could also become confused about someone (or something) from your past. If you’re a bright Bull, you’ll learn from your mistakes.
This week Mercury (your ruling planet) and the full moon focus on friendships. How to nurture them, keep them … and let them go, if you have outgrown each other. You’ll find mutual interests are essential to long-term platonic relationships.

It’s a good week to increase your public profile, complete a professional challenge, give a speech or be proactive about tackling a DIY project at home. But make sure you are organised and have a strategic plan. Don’t leave things to chance.
Jupiter is jumping through your sign and there’s a fiery full moon! Time to connect with colleagues, family and friends from within your local community and overseas, as you talk, text, tweet, publish, or podcast up a storm. Don’t persist with old ways of doing things.
The fiery full moon shines a bright spotlight on trust issues and long-forgotten secrets. Plus, carefully laid plans may veer off in an uncertain direction – which could be wonderful or stressful, depending on the circumstances. Just go with the flow.

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)
SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)
This week is all about bringing more balance and harmony into your hectic world, as we celebrate the equinox (when the sun transits into Libra, and day and night are of equal length). With Mercury also visiting your sign, it’s time to tap into your personal creativity.
The full moon fires up your wellbeing zone, so it’s a good week to exercise, hit the gym, play sport or enjoy bushwalking. But there’s also a sun/Neptune opposition, which could increase confusion, especially involving work projects and your routine.
The week starts with a lucky aspect, when Jupiter (your power planet) forms a fabulous link with Mercury. Which boosts your Sagittarian charisma and is particularly good for matters involving all sorts of communication and education.
CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)
AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)
PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)
The sun and Mercury are in your career zone, which boosts your capacity for hard work and your ability to lead others. But don’t do so at the expense of home and family life. The equinox and the full moon highlight the importance of getting the balance right.
The full moon activates your communication zone, so it’s time to be bold, brave and adventurous! You’ll also feel like displaying your bohemian nature and expressing your eccentric views – but don’t expect everyone to appreciate your quirky and chaotic ways.
Neptune and the full moon activate your money zones, as you start to see your current financial situation in a new light. For some financially challenged Fish, money matters could become confusing. Maybe it’s time to curb spending, boost savings and redesign your dreams?

BUYERS SNAP UP LOTS IN MASTERPLANNED COMMUNITY The first residential stage in the former Twin Waters West project is set to deliver 84 homesites. WORDS: Candice Holznagel.
T
he first land released at a 450home Sunshine Coast development has been snapped up, with bulk earthworks expected to begin on site within weeks. Works are progressing on the controversial Twin Waters masterplanned community: a new 104-hectare residential project, previously known as Twin Waters West, delivered by developer Stockland. Stockland confirmed that its July and August land releases sold out, with another release expected next month. Prices started at $1.15million, while publicly advertised homesites in subsequent releases have ranged from about $1.17million to more than $1.4million. Sites across the development average around 700sqm in size, with some reaching up to 1200sqm. A Stockland spokesperson says the region continues to experience strong housing demand: “The sales reflect ongoing buyer interest in larger premium and lifestyle lots which remain in short supply north of Maroochy River – particularly those with direct water frontage.” Site preparation for the development, which is located west of the existing
An artist’s impression of Stockland Twin Waters. Image: Stockland Twin Waters community, is underway. The first residential stage is planned to deliver 84 homesites and has been divided into three substages. An operational works application lodged with Sunshine Coast Council in August for Stage 1b details earthworks, retaining walls, roads, drainage, footpaths, verge works, streetscaping, electrical infrastructure and streetlighting. Landscape plans provide a glimpse of how the new neighbourhood will look, with exposed aggregate paths, cobblestone edging, natural sandstone boulders, stone-clad walls and turfed areas. Stage 1b
is set to contain 35 residential lots, while the overall Stage 1 plan includes a one-hectare community hub site and parkland. Stage 2 is planned to deliver a further 84 homesites, although a construction timeframe for that stage has not been confirmed. Meanwhile, roadworks are continuing on the David Low Way and Ocean Drive intersection at Pacific Paradise – a condition of the development approval. “The upgrade involves replacing the existing T-intersection with a new four-leg signalised intersection and will improve safety and traffic movements for motorists,
cyclists and pedestrians,” the Stockland spokesperson says. “The intersection upgrade is scheduled to be completed in mid-2027.” Recent works have included vegetation removal on the southern side of David Low Way and the relocation of water, sewer and stormwater services along De Vere Road. The residential development has had a long and contentious planning history, dating back to an initial proposal for the site in 2008. It was rejected twice by Sunshine Coast Council and faced significant community opposition before councillors ultimately approved the 450-home development, subject to 100 conditions, in December 2023 by six votes to four. Among the conditions are requirements for a water-quality monitoring program, a kangaroo management plan and a flood evacuation centre. More recently, approval was granted for 4190 salt couch plants to be removed and relocated to make way for works associated with the development. Want more news daily?

MACDONALD STREET DICKY BEACH
4 BED | 3 BATH | 2 CAR
Some homes are built to impress. This one is built to live in 318sqm of refreshed coastal living, two hundred metres from the sand. A double-height void and timber staircase set the scale at the entry, opening to upstairs living and a renovated kitchen - stone benchtops, gas cooking, a generous island and Fisher & Paykel appliances. A servery stacker connects to the central deck, with BBQ, outdoor fridge and putting green, plus a front balcony for quieter afternoons. Accommodation is intelligently zoned: a self-contained guest suite downstairs, two bedrooms upstairs, and a rear master retreat with walk-in robe, ensuite and its own secluded deck and spa, screened by established greenery. The renovation is comprehensive - new kitchen and laundry, polished concrete floors, rebuilt decking, updated tapware, hardware and lighting, resealed bathrooms and a full repaint throughout. The oversized double garage adds three-phase power, EV readiness and room for two cars plus gear. Two hundred metres to Dicky Beach, in one of the Sunshine Coast’s most enduring beachside pockets - move-in ready, with scope for family living or short-term letting.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water
Cue Sir David Attenborough’s voice ... Is it me or is there a direct link between Lycra-clad cyclists and seagulls? Yes, one may come to this conclusion if recent events represent a look into this strange behaviour. While sitting at a coffee shop, enjoying its finest grind, a very large peloton of cyclists came around a corner with the lead rider yelling the word: “Car”. What followed was 30 grown men all taking turns to yell this word: “Car”, “car”, “car”, “car”, “car” … “car” … “car” … “car” … “car”. Say it out aloud and test my theory. Was this a mating event? Bonding? Safety? Or simply batsh*t hilarious? As Sir David would say, this behaviour was “extraordinary”.
