AGENDA

James Norquay

THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS Despite losing most of his sight as a child, James Norquay refused to let vision loss stand in the way of his passions and building a life on his own terms.

unshine Coast photographer James Norquay is proving that vision loss doesn’t have to limit what’s possible, overcoming his challenges to capture life’s special moments through the lens of his camera. The 25-year-old has just two per cent vision, having lost most of his sight after being diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 12. Today, photography is a major part of his life, taking him from busy wedding venues to outdoor locations. “Photography ignites a really rich spark in me,” James says. “I love capturing images with my

camera that I can’t see with my own sight. “It’s the craft and the tool that gives me 101 per cent vision.” For James, his white cane is an important tool for navigating unfamiliar environments and maintaining his independence while doing the work he loves. “Having my cane means I can get out there, find my way around and focus on what I’m there to do,” he says. “It gives me the confidence to go to new places and take on different jobs, rather than having to think twice about whether I can manage it.” Following International White Cane

Day on October 15, Guide Dogs Queensland is encouraging people to look beyond assumptions and recognise the possibilities, passions, ambitions and skills of people who are blind or have low vision. Guide Dogs Australia’s 2025 Social Impact Report highlights the difference its services are making, with 79 per cent of surveyed clients reporting greater independence when getting out and about and 78 per cent saying they are better able to live the life they want. A further 73 per cent say they do more of the things that matter to them, from pursuing personal interests to participating in their communities. The figures highlight the important role mobility aids such as the white cane can play in helping people build confidence, embrace opportunities and maintain their independence.

“Support from Guide Dogs Queensland has also been an important part of my journey,” James says. “It’s about having the right tools and support to do things in your own way and having the confidence to give things a go. “Losing most of my sight changed a lot of things, but it hasn’t taken away the things I’m passionate about or what I want to do with my life.” Guide Dogs Queensland provides orientation and mobility support to help people who have low vision and blindness navigate their surroundings and participate more independently in the community. CEO Jock Beveridge says International White Cane Day is an opportunity to challenge perceptions of vision loss and recognise the independence and possibilities that the right support can help create. “James’ story shows that losing your sight doesn’t mean losing sight of what you want to achieve in life,” Jock says. “Whether it’s building a career, travelling independently or pursuing something you love, having the right support and tools can make a real difference. “At Guide Dogs Queensland, we want people who have low vision and blindness to feel confident pursuing the things that matter to them. A white cane can be a big part of that. “International White Cane Day is a chance to celebrate that independence, challenge some of the assumptions people still make about vision loss and remind everyone that a person’s sight doesn’t define what they’re capable of.” For more information about Guide Dogs Queensland, or to find out more about how to support their work, visit qld. guidedogs.com.au.

TEN TONNES OF DETERMINATION Volunteer sports trainer Garry Zealand is taking his community commitment to a whole new level. WORDS: Abbey Cannan.

Garry Zealand

10 My Weekly Preview | October 29, 2026

en tonnes, 100 repetitions and one ambitious fundraising target stand between Garry Zealand and his next challenge. For the Sunshine Coast sports trainer, helping others has always been part of the game. Whether tending to injured footballers or helping veterans navigate life after military service, the 71-year-old has spent decades putting others first. And this time will be no different. On November 11 – Remembrance Day – Garry will attempt to deadlift 100 kilograms 100 times in a single session with the aim of raising $10,000 for causes close to his heart. Standing 165 centimetres tall and weighing 74 kilograms, he knows the challenge will be formidable, but worth it. Up to $5000 of the raised funds will help cover costs for Garry to travel to Sri Lanka next March as a volunteer sports trainer and player with the Australian over-65s cricket team. The remaining $5000 will go to Veterans MMA, a not-for-profit organisation supporting veterans through martial arts, physical training and camaraderie. “I didn’t want to just ask for donations, I wanted to set myself a physical challenge to show that I was prepared to work hard for the donations,” Garry says. His career spans more than 40 years, working across New South Wales and Queensland with AFL and NRL teams, including the Sydney Swans, and more recently, the Sunshine Coast Falcons. His passion has also taken him into international Masters cricket, supporting Australian over-60s,over-65s and over-70s teams that compete in World Cup tournaments. In 2024, he travelled to India as a volunteer sports trainer with the Australian over-60s team, helping the side through a successful World Cup campaign. In his role, Garry assists the players

with injury prevention, rehabilitation, strapping and taping, warm-ups, conditioning, stretching, mobility and injury management – doing everything he can to keep them fit, healthy and able to represent their country. “I am a bit of a sports tragic, and at 71 years of age, helping out with the teams that I do, gives me a great deal of satisfaction by simply being involved,” he tells My Weekly Preview. “Working with the younger rugby league players keeps me feeling young and watching them develop as players is enormously rewarding. “Working with the Masters cricket teams at international level is also an amazing experience.” For Garry, representing Australia alongside players who have continued competing into their sixties and seventies is a privilege. “I say to every player I meet when we arrive on day one of a World Cup Cricket Tournament, can you believe that at 60, 65 or 70 years of age, here we are representing Australia, dressed in green and gold, singing the national anthem. “We wouldn’t have dreamed of that as kids or teenagers, but here we are.” When Garry was invited in June to join the Australian over-65s team for their campaign, he was keen to accept. However, players and support staff generally pay their own way, covering airfares, accommodation, uniforms, transport and playing fees. Retired and living on his savings and a part-age pension, Garry needed to find another way to fund the trip. The calculation was straightforward: raising $1 for every kilogram he lifts would meet his target. It was then that Garry decided to also donate to Veterans MMA, where he has volunteered for the past two years. The organisation runs training sessions at Integrated MMA and Fitness in Bokarina, bringing together former service personnel, including veterans who served in Afghanistan, Iraq, the wider Middle East and Timor. Some participants live with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), while others manage physical injuries and the psychological effects of military service. Garry volunteers three mornings a week, helping participants prepare for training, recover afterwards and maintain myweeklypreview.com.au

their mobility. “These veterans have a reason to get up and go in the morning, connect with other veterans and work collectively on their mental and physical fitness,” he says. “And it works.” Fundraising will help participants continue attending classes and contribute towards professional coaching. The benefits, Garry says, go well beyond physical fitness. “Some have confided in me that the program has literally saved their life,” he says. “Many of them have turned away from alcohol and drugs since joining Veterans MMA because they have a reason to stay fitter and healthier as part of their training commitment. “Suicide is a curse across all of society, but the numbers amongst veterans are extreme. “Sadly, we lost 47 service personnel in the 20 years of the war in Afghanistan. “In that same time, and up until now, we have lost over 1850 to suicide. “If Veterans MMA saves one person

“These veterans have a reason to get up and go in the morning, connect…” from self-harming thoughts now or in the future, it is worth every bit of energy and time that we put into it.” According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s latest figures, 1907 serving and former Australian Defence Force members died by suicide between 1997 and 2024. The figures cover all Defence Force personnel, not solely Afghanistan veterans. For Garry, helping fund the program is about giving veterans access to the camaraderie, structure and support that can make a lasting difference. While the cause provides the motivation, completing 100 deadlifts

at 100 kilograms remains a serious physical undertaking. Garry began preparing about 10 weeks before the challenge, training five to six days a week under the guidance of David from Kaizen Exercise Physiologists in Maroochydore. “With just weeks to go until November 11, I have just successfully lifted 100 kilograms 75 times in one session, so I am on target to be ready to lift 100 times on the big day,” he says. “The biggest challenge has probably been concentrating on the right balance of protein, carbohydrates and fats in my diet and eating a lot more than I normally would. “My body shape has changed, and I have gained weight, but it is lean muscle growth, so that is good. “I love a cold beer on a hot day, but I have to minimise that. Plenty of time to celebrate after November 11.” If you or anyone you know needs support, call or visit: • Lifeline on 13 11 14, Lifeline.org.au • Beyond Blue 1300 224 635, beyondblue.org.au • Defence All-hours Support Line on 1800 628 036 • If you’re in an emergency or someone is in immediate danger, call 000.

Ashton Wood and Queensland Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie MP

LIFELINE EXPANDS ITS REACH A Sunshine Coast-founded charity is continuing to make a difference in the lives of people experiencing domestic and family violence.

ith police proceeding against almost 98,000 people for family and domestic violence-related offences across Australia in 2024–25, Sunshine Coast charity DV Safe Phone

has answered this critical call for help. Founded on the Sunshine Coast in 2020, the charity marked a significant milestone on October 22, opening its new national headquarters, which will increase its capacity to turn donated

mobile phones into practical tools for safety and connection. In the past six years DV Safe Phone has provided nearly 23,000 ‘safe phones’ through a national network of more than 680 frontline agencies, including domestic and family violence services, police, hospitals and safe houses. Australian Bureau of Statistics figures released in March 2026 underscore the ongoing need for this practical support, with the number of people proceeded against for family and domestic violence-related offences increasing by eight per cent in 2024–25. DV Safe Phone founder and CEO Ashton Wood says the figures reinforce the importance of practical support for victim-survivors, including access to a phone of their own when perpetrators use technology to threaten, monitor and isolate them. “For most of us, a mobile phone is something we take for granted. For someone experiencing domestic violence, access to a phone they can use to seek help is critical,” he says. “When a perpetrator controls access to communication, they can also cut someone off from family, friends and support services.

“A safe phone is an important part of a person’s safety plan, helping them stay connected to the people and services supporting them.” DV Safe Phone’s new headquarters provides much-needed space for additional volunteers and phone testing stations, along with a dedicated repair laboratory for phone technicians. “Having already moved more than six tonnes of phones through our previous premises, our new facility provides easy, level access for moving large volumes of donated phones in and out, eliminating the need to manually carry heavy loads up and down stairs – a significant improvement in both safety and operational efficiency,” Ashton says. Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie says the Sunshine Coast organisation demonstrates how a community initiative can deliver practical support across the country. “No one experiencing domestic and family violence should be cut off from help because they cannot access a phone,” he says. Australians and businesses can find out how to donate phones or support the charity at dvsafephone.org.

WOODFORD FOLK FESTIVAL’S 39TH PROGRAM

Sunny Coast Orthopaedic & Fracture’s Dr Bali and nurse Bec

FREE SEMINAR ON MANAGING JOINT PAIN Noosa Day Hospital will host a free community education morning on joint pain management on November 7, followed by guided tours of the new facility. Dr Navi Bali of Sunny Coast Orthopaedic & Fracture Clinic says more locals are walking into his rooms already researching their options, from injections and targeted physio through to roboticassisted joint replacement, and wanting to stay active rather than slow down. “The conversation has changed. People in their fifties, sixties and seventies here are surfing, walking the headland and chasing grandkids, and they want a plan, not a prescription to rest. Not everyone needs surgery straight away,” he says. Register at shorturl.at/g8LPE.

Woodford Folk Festival has unveiled the program for its 39th event with thousands of Australians expected to attend in celebration of music, art, crafts and community. Held from December 27, 2026 to January 1, 2027 at Woodfordia, in Moreton Bay, the festival brings together more than 2800 individual artists and presenters. “Woodford is a town you come to live in and create daily rituals, exploring our village and all its creative offerings,” festival director Amanda Jackes says. “For six days it becomes a world of music and art, and everyone who walks through the gate helps to make it special.” Tickets, including day and season

TWU CALLS FOR URGENT ACTION ON SAFETY CRISIS AT CALOUNDRA BUS INTERCHANGE

AUSSIES CAN’T AFFORD $20 HIKE TO WEEKLY RENT OR MORTGAGE Three in four Australians would have to cut back if their rent or mortgage rose by just $20 a week, with many having to go without food and medication, according to an Everybody’s Home survey. The No Room to Move report captures survey results between July and September of 1150 people, including renters, homeowners and those experiencing homelessness or living in temporary housing.

“Housing stress in Australia is rife,” Everybody’s Home spokesperson Maiy Azize says. “Australians are spending more of their income on housing with little or no buffer left when costs climb. “Renters are being given the worst deal in living memory. Not only do rents continue to spiral out of reach, the condition of many homes are shoddy and making renters sick.”

The Transport Workers’ Union (TWU) is calling for urgent intervention following repeated incidents of antisocial behaviour at the Caloundra Bus Interchange. TWU Queensland organising director Josh Millroy says the incidents demonstrate a growing safety crisis that can no longer be ignored. “Violence and anti-social behaviour at the Caloundra Bus Interchange have become a constant occurrence,” he says. “The Transport Minister, Translink and Sunshine Coast Council must take immediate action to improve safety for drivers and passengers. “Two major incidents over the past two weekends and several serious reports in recent weeks show that these are not isolated examples. “These are front line workers providing a vital community service. “We will continue to work with our members, delegates and HSRs across the network to provide support and fight for safety improvements.”

ANTARCTIC JOURNEY INSPIRES POWERFUL PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION An Antarctic expedition has inspired Sunshine Coast photographer Christine Hall to create a new exhibition called Save Antarctica. Opening at the Royal Queensland Art Society (RQAS) Gallery in Paddington, Brisbane from November 11-15, the exhibition presents a unique perspective of Antarctica.

It was selected for the Head On Photo Festival 2026 Open Program from more than 650 submissions. A nature enthusiast and environmental advocate, Christine documented Antarctica’s extraordinary beauty and the environmental changes affecting the region. “The trip was truly life-changing,”

Christine says. “Antarctica had a profound impact on me. “Being able to experience this incredible environment at water level, surrounded by scientists, photographers and conservation-minded travellers, gave me a deeper appreciation of both its beauty and its fragility.” Visit rqas.com.au/ event/save-antarctica-2026.

Dr Bailey, who has worked across regional and remote Queensland, says many women notice changes long before seeking help. “One of the challenges is that symptoms often develop gradually and may not feel like what women expect in menopause,” Dr Bailey says. “Changes in sleep, anxiety, concentration or simply not feeling like yourself can all be signs of perimenopause

or menopause.” Menopause is typically defined as 12 consecutive months without a natural period and most commonly occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 in Australia. Perimenopause can bring symptoms including hot flushes, fatigue, muscle aches, mood changes and vaginal dryness. Dr Bailey says symptoms can go unrecognised for extended periods. “By the time some women seek help, they’ve been managing symptoms for months or even years because they assumed it was stress, burnout or getting older,” she says. More than 356,000 Queensland women are aged 45 to 55, while those in regional and remote communities can face longer travel times to reach a doctor, with fewer menopause-informed health professionals available. Specialist GP Dr Sian Hebron says women do not need to wait until symptoms become severe before seeking help. “You don’t have to arrive at your doctor’s appointment with a perfect explanation or a textbook of symptoms,” Dr Hebron says. “Starting with ‘I just don’t feel like myself’ can open the door to discussing the support and treatment options that are right for you.” Visit shorturl.at/kWs6C.

WORKING TOGETHER TO CHANGE CHILDREN’S LIVES A Sunshine Coast charity fundraiser featuring sailor and author Jessica Watson OAM has brought supporters together to help combat human trafficking and child exploitation. The annual Legacy Lunch, hosted by Luke Meisenhelter and Brett Nicholas of Loanright Financial Services, was held at Avani Mooloolaba on October 23 in support of the Coast-based charity Destiny Rescue. The event raised more than $50,000, enough to fund the rescue of 24 children. Destiny Rescue has spent the past 25 years helping free more than 28,000 children from sexual exploitation and trafficking from regions including Latin America, Southeast Asia and Africa. Destiny Rescue CEO Greg Bradley says community support has remained important throughout the organisation’s history. “Destiny Rescue started here 25 years ago, and it means a great deal that some of our strongest support still comes from right here at home,” he says. “Behind every rescue is a child who gets the chance to start again.” Following rescue, survivors receive tailored support to address their individual circumstances and

Jessica Watson vulnerabilities, including trauma recovery programs and assistance to return to education or achieve financial independence. Over the previous two years, the Legacy Lunch has raised more than $74,000 for the charity. The event was recognised as Best Community Engagement Program at the 2026 Adviser Better Business Awards.

THE TRUE VALUE OF CHANGE What started as a simple way to give back has become an extraordinary act of generosity – to the tune of $20,000.

ost people wouldn’t look twice at an empty bottle or can they pass on the street. But for Sunshine Coast couple John and Yvonne Tagg, those discarded containers have become a way

to give back to a local charity close to their hearts. Since 2018, the couple has raised more than $20,000 for Bloomhill Cancer Care through Containers for Change. Bloomhill supported their family

after the loss of their son-in-law, Lorenzo, to cancer in 2008. What began as a simple gesture of gratitude has become a daily routine for 84-year-old John, who collects eligible bottles and cans from streets and residential buildings across the Coast. With each container worth a 10c refund, his efforts during the past eight years have added up to something extraordinary. “It’s fantastic that all the containers we have collected have added up to this much,” John says. “I enjoy getting out for a walk each day, cleaning up the local area and supporting a cause that means a lot to our family.” Bloomhill Cancer Care provides nurse-led, community-based cancer care for people of all ages across the Sunshine Coast. The organisation supports people and families impacted by cancer through a range of personalised services, including nursing care, counselling, psychology, exercise physiology, lymphoedema support and transport assistance. Since 2018, Bloomhill has received more than $37,000 in container refund donations through Containers for

Change, with more than half of that total coming from John and Yvonne’s efforts. Bloomhill Cancer Care fundraising and community engagement lead Jasmine Wheatley says the couple’s

“It’s an incredible example of how small actions can add up to make a real difference”

generosity shows something simple can make all the difference. “It’s an incredible example of how small actions can add up to make a real difference for the more than 1900 local people and families we support each year,” she says. Queenslanders can donate their container refunds directly to Bloomhill Cancer Care by setting the charity as their preferred payment method in the Containers for Change app or by using member number C10015434.

Trail upgrade progresses Cr Winston Johnston Division 5

Safety improvements There has been considerable discussion about recent changes at the Jubilee Drive and Woombye-Palmwoods Road intersection, particularly around traffic delays. The works were undertaken to improve pedestrian safety following concerns about access to the nearby bus stop, with upgrades including safer crossing points, pedestrian refuge islands, and tactile indicators for people with vision impairment. Previously, some motorists were using the mountable island to bypass queued traffic when exiting Jubilee Drive, creating safety risks and damaging infrastructure. While I understand the frustration caused by longer wait times, these changes are not intended to be the final layout. The Department of Transport and Main Roads is planning a longer-term upgrade to improve traffic flow, reduce flood impacts and enhance safety. When delivered, the recently installed refuge

Another section of the Maleny Community Precinct Trail upgrade has now been completed and is open for use. The next stage will extend east from Reynolds Circuit towards Obi Obi Creek. During construction, this section of the trail will be temporarily closed to the public. Thank you for your understanding as we continue improving this popular community asset.

WHAT’S ON

SPOOKY CELEBRATIONS ACROSS THE COAST

hosts, ghouls and little monsters are preparing to take over the Sunshine Coast, with a series of free Halloween events promising plenty of thrills, treats and family fun. From a bustling street party at Moffat Beach to spooky storytelling in the hinterland, families will have plenty of opportunities to dress up and embrace the Halloween spirit on October 30 and 31. At Moffat Beach, the popular Elm Street trick-or-treating tradition will be

complemented by a Halloween Street Party along Seaview Terrace. The free celebration will feature live music, face painting, a costume parade and a trick-or-treat trail through participating local businesses. Families can also enjoy an early dinner at nearby eateries before heading to Elm Street, where residents are renowned for transforming their homes into elaborate Halloween displays. To support the tradition, The Pocket Espresso Bar is collecting donations of

lolly bags to distribute to participating households. Residents can drop the donations into The Pocket in the lead-up to Halloween. Meanwhile, Sunshine Coast Council is hosting two free family events at Landsborough Museum and Maroochy Regional Bushland Botanic Garden. Strong Community Portfolio councillor David Law says the activities offer opportunities for families to connect while exploring local attractions. “Halloween at the museum is a fun and welcoming event that gives families a different way to discover our local history,” Cr Law says. “Children can dress up, collect treats and enjoy the activities, while the whole family explores a collection filled with stories from our region.” Council is reminding families to stay together while trick-or-treating, cross roads carefully and respect households not participating in Halloween celebrations.

MY OPINION

BOO WHO? BOO YOU

ELIXIR FOR THE SOUL

Ashley Robinson says a series of troubling encounters has left him asking whether respect and common decency no longer exist.

Sami Muirhead has surprisingly discovered the best present a girl could ask for, and it’s not diamonds, handbags or shoes.

thought I had seen everything until a couple of Saturdays when I was watching the horse racing, and the crowd booed Hong Kong champion Ka Ying Rising as it went to the barrier at Randwick. It was also reported in the media that at Caulfield, when it came up on the big screen, they booed as well. I was quite puzzled until I read the next day that regular racegoers were shocked, too. Instead, they blamed a marketing campaign targeting younger racegoers, with many regulars saying they would rather the new crowd stayed away. Of course, there was vision of thousands of folks at Randwick singing Sweet Caroline, which was certainly a plus for racing, but in my mind the booing overshadowed it. I couldn’t help but wonder: was it tall poppy syndrome? And yet, they never booed Winx or Black Caviar. Horses are fantastic companions and are aligned to humans’ emotions, so the poor horse would have known they were booing it. The next day I was driving Old Mate to the op shop and got harassed by some kids

on e-bikes, who were being idiots. They were doing exactly what I would have done if those bikes were around in my day. However, what I wouldn’t have done was give an adult the finger for no reason, which is what they did to me. Still puzzled, we arrived at one of her favourite op shops. There were some kids running amok in the aisles, and when staff members (volunteering their time) spoke to these kids, the parents weren’t happy. I could see a pattern emerging. What in the world are we rearing? That’s my question. Sure, you can call me a grumpy old man, but in my view our standards are slipping at an alarming rate – closely followed by our humanity. A horse doesn’t wake up and decide to be a racehorse. It has no choice, so why would you boo it? Maybe, just maybe, our parenting and our moral compass are being impacted by the way our political leaders carry on. Particularly at a federal level, where they spread fear and loathing, all in the name of keeping their jobs. I am not a booing-type person, but if I were, I’d boo a politician instead of a poor horse.

Ashley Robinson is Metropolitan Caloundra Surf Club CEO, chairman of Thunder Netball and a lifetime Sunshine Coast resident.

have a new love language. It is bird song and it is making my heart sing. I have been given a gift from a friend that is priceless: Jennifer sends me videos via text of birds singing with a backing track of mother nature waking up at dawn. It is that sweet and that simple, and it makes my heart soar with happiness when I hear little feathered ones making their own music. I find myself grinning from ear to ear as I listen to the green vision of birds chirping and twirping and generally greeting daybreak with enthusiasm and their own secret language. I am smitten with my personal texts and get excited when my phone dings as I run to see if it is from Jen. In a fast world, these slow recitals are elixir for the soul. Last week, Jen captured the sounds of Australian fig birds from Richards Park on Buderim. There was also a joyful frog as a backing track to the cacophony of bird song. Other little packages of pleasure included a video of dawn at Imbil with sounds of the black-breasted button-quail in vine scrub; another with the sounds of

dusky honeyeaters and wandering whistling ducks. Lucky me! The texts do not have chitchat; there is no small talk about the weather. They are simply glorious bird song from a running creek or fields of green. The best present a girl could ask for. They are innocent. Uncomplicated. I have known Jen for 30 years and she was always ahead of the pack when it came to respecting the environment and finding joy and mental peace. She and her husband bought a small house on a big rainforest block in Buderim because they wanted to hear their neighbours sing – their feathered neighbours, not the human ones. My favourite part of their slice of nature is their duck-blue outdoor clawfoot bath. At night you can lie in it and watch the moon and the owls. Not all presents cost money. Look and listen for our feathered friends in the trees. They are fragile and have to fight hard most days to survive the environment us humans have changed. May birdsong be found in your heart and remain with you for the day. Thank you, Jen.

MY OPINION

LIFE’S LOUDEST MOMENTS

Renee Cooper

Garry Reynolds says it’s easy to overlook the ordinary days, but often it’s these seemingly insignificant moments that shape the milestones.

was replying to a message recently when I accidentally hit the caps lock key. Suddenly everything I typed looked urgent. Dramatic. Important. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. That got me thinking about life. If our lives were written like a message, most days would appear in lowercase. Ordinary stuff. Nothing headline-worthy. Then, every now and then, life hits the caps lock. THE DAY YOU PASSED YOUR DRIVING TEST. THE DAY YOU GOT THE JOB. THE DAY SOMEONE SAID YES. THE DAY YOU MOVED OUT OF HOME. THE DAY THE DOCTOR SAID, “WE NEED TO TALK.” THE DAY YOU LOST SOMEONE YOU LOVED. We all have those moments. Years later, entire seasons of life can become a blur, yet those particular days remain vivid. You remember what you were wearing, where you were standing and who was beside you. It’s as though life quietly reaches over and presses the highlight button. When I was younger, I assumed ‘caps lock days’ were always the big public moments. The awards. The promotions. The milestones everyone applauds. Now I’m not so sure.

Looking back, some of the most important days of my life barely attracted any attention at all. A conversation changed my direction. A piece of advice arrived at exactly the right moment. A friend quietly said, “You can do this.” Nothing seemed to happen. Yet everything changed. The funny thing about caps lock days is that we rarely recognise them at the time. They often arrive disguised as ordinary moments dressed in ordinary clothes. A job interview. A first date. A chance encounter. A decision to take a risk. A decision not to. Only years later do we realise a new chapter began that day. I’ve also learned something else. The caps lock moments don’t happen by themselves. They’re built on hundreds of lower-case days. Nobody sees the practice before the performance, the study before the graduation or the setbacks before the success. The ordinary days do most of the heavy lifting. Perhaps that’s why we shouldn’t wish them away. And somewhere ahead of us, maybe next week or maybe years from now, a caps lock day is waiting. A day that will alter your story. A day that will change your direction. A day that, without warning, will demand to be written in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Retiree Garry Reynolds shares his thoughts on the world around us.

INDEPTH ACCOUNTING

Where do you live? Mountain Creek. Tell us about your family? Husband Steve, kids Marley, 16, and Chloe, 12. Favourite location on the Sunshine Coast? Mooloolaba. I love the combination of the beach, the restaurants and the atmosphere. Whenever I’ve been away from the Coast for a while, there’s something about coming down Buderim Avenue towards Mooloolaba and catching that first glimpse of the water that instantly makes me feel like I’m home. Which local person inspires you? Roz White. I’ve always admired Roz for the way she combines strong business leadership with a genuine commitment to the Coast community. She is incredibly generous with her time and knowledge, and I love the way she champions local businesses, especially through Locavore. She’s achieved so much while remaining very grounded and approachable. Favourite local business? Fish House Steak & Grill, Mooloolaba. The Coast really needed a restaurant like this, and what has been achieved in just the first year is incredible. They’ve created somewhere that feels special without being pretentious, with beautiful food, great service and a fantastic atmosphere. Best thing about living on the Coast? The lifestyle. We have this wonderful balance of beautiful beaches, hinterland, great restaurants and a strong business community. I also love that, despite how

much we’ve grown, there is still a real sense of connection here: you rarely go anywhere without running into someone you know. How long have you been a Chamber member? About 20 years through different business iterations (eight with Indepth). What’s the best thing about being a Chamber member? The connections. I’ve been involved with the Chamber through different businesses for around 20 years, and some of the relationships I’ve built have become long-term professional relationships and friendships. It’s a great way to stay connected to what is happening locally and to be part of the conversation about our region’s future. Favourite ChamberCast with the President and Pep? I really enjoyed the episode with Dave Clare. I love listening to people who have a different perspective on business and leadership and can challenge the way you think. Favourite Chamber event? The monthly Coffee + Connect events. They’re relaxed, welcoming and a great way to start the day. How can the Coast be improved? We need to make sure our infrastructure keeps pace with our growth. Transport, housing and connectivity are big ones, but equally important is creating an environment where businesses can grow and talented people can build meaningful careers here rather than feeling they need to leave.

HOROSCOPES

CROSSWORD

ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)

TAURUS (APR 20 - MAY 20)

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)

Mercury and Venus are both retrograde (until November 14) which could stir up your restless side, as you unleash your Inner Rebel. But try to do so in appropriate ways that don’t upset loved ones, antagonise authority figures, or endanger your personal safety!

You’re impatient about making things happen according to your pre-planned Taurus timetable. But Mercury and Venus are both retrograde, so prepare for delays and disruptions, plus avoid taking shortcuts and relying on others.

You’ll be at your charming and gregarious Gemini best, as sociable Venus and Jupiter activate your communication and friendship zones. So it’s a wonderful week to create, collaborate and communicate.

CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)

LEO (JULY 23 - AUG 22)

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEP 22)

Expect friendship problems or domestic dramas, as retrograde Mercury and retro Venus stir up old grievances. Use your diplomatic talents to help find solutions. If you just sit back and let others make decisions, you’ll feel powerless.

Lions can be self-indulgent souls but this week, you’ll shift your attention further afield. Retrograde Mercury and retrograde Venus will remind you that family matters, local community connections and social responsibilities are just as important as individual priorities.

Mercury (your ruling planet) is in retrograde mode until November 14, so it’s time to ask yourself, ‘Am I being too subjective and short-sighted about a current issue?’ – especially involving education, communication and/or your local community.

LIBRA (SEP 23 - OCT 22)

SCORPIO (OCT 23 - NOV 21)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22 - DEC 21)

Is a close relationship stuck in a stultifying rut? And how well do you really know your nearest and dearest? Venus (your ruling planet) is reversing through your sign, and Mercury (planet of communication) is reversing through your self-esteem zone.

Do your best to avoid being sulky, as Mercury (in your sign) and Venus are both retrograde, which can magnify mood swings and heighten emotional sensitivities. If you’ve been burying your head in the sand, then a problem could come to a head and demand to be addressed.

Spontaneous, fiery Sagittarius… this week tread carefully, as Mercury and Venus are both in retrograde. A colleague could feel misunderstood, a cherished goal could be delayed, a creative project could backfire, or a so-called friend could talk about you behind your back.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22 - JAN 19)

AQUARIUS (JAN 20 - FEB 18)

PISCES (FEB 19 - MAR 20)

This week, things won’t run according to plan, as Mercury and Venus reverse through your career and networking zones. So don’t make major mountains out of minor molehills and waste time worrying about annoying problems (especially at work).

Attached Aquarius – with Mars and Jupiter visiting your relationship zone, maintain your independence within the partnership. Singles – love and adventure are linked but avoid travelling until after November 14 (when Mercury and Venus go direct).

Many Pisceans are feeling particularly pensive. Mercury is reversing through your philosophy zone, and Venus is retrograde in your reflection zone, so it’s a suitable time to think deeply about your motivations and aspirations.

EVERYDAY ATHLETES: PERFORMING BETTER

hen we hear the word athlete, many of us picture elite sportspeople or marathon runners. But if you’re regularly walking, running, cycling, going to the gym, playing weekend sport, or simply staying active for your health, you’re an everyday athlete. And just like professional athletes, how you fuel, hydrate and recover can make a significant difference to how you feel, perform and bounce back. Hydration first: When we sweat, we lose both fluid and electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. If you’re experiencing headaches after exercise, muscle cramps, dizziness, or excessive fatigue, it may be time to review your hydration habits. Replacing fluids and electrolytes after training can help support recovery. Protein – the foundation of recovery: Protein provides amino acids, the building

blocks your body uses to maintain and repair muscle tissue. If you’re constantly hungry after exercise, feeling unusually sore after training, or finding it harder to maintain muscle as you age, you may need to look more closely at your protein intake. Aim to include a quality protein source at every meal, such as eggs, fish, dairy, legumes, tofu, nuts, seeds, or lean meats. Protein powders, collagen peptides and amino acid formulas can also be convenient options when needed. Beyond muscle – supporting connective tissues: Strong muscles are important, but so are your joints, tendons, ligaments and cartilage. If you’re starting to feel the wear and tear of an active lifestyle, it may be time to think beyond muscle support. Specialised collagen peptides are increasingly popular among active individuals looking to support joint, cartilage, tendon and ligament health as part of an active lifestyle.

Why is everyone talking about creatine? Creatine is one of the most researched ingredients in sports nutrition. It plays a role in energy production during short bursts of high-intensity activity. It can be found in powders, capsules and gummies, making it easy to incorporate into your routine. Natural support for active lifestyles: Alongside good nutrition and recovery habits, some people choose to incorporate traditional herbs and mushrooms into their wellness routine. Adaptogens such as schisandra and panax ginseng have traditionally been used to support stamina and resilience during periods of physical and mental stress, while cordyceps has a long history of traditional use to support vitality and an active lifestyle. Caffeine, naturally found in coffee, tea, and guarana, remains one of the most widely used ingredients before exercise to support alertness and focus. What does HASTA Certified mean? If you’ve ever noticed a HASTA Certified logo on sports nutrition products, it stands for Human and Supplement Testing Australia – Australia’s independent testing program for sports supplements. Certified products undergo quality assurance processes and ongoing batch testing for substances prohibited in sport. Recovery is where progress happens: Many people focus on training but overlook recovery. Yet this is where the body adapts and prepares for the next challenge. Refuel after exercise, rehydrate properly, aim for quality sleep, keep moving between training sessions, schedule regular recovery days. Small habits performed consistently can make a big difference over time. WORDS: Cheree Sheldon, naturopath and nutritionist. Kunara Organic Marketplace is at 330 Mons Road, Forest Glen.

HEARING AIDS HAVE COME A LONG WAY What was once a fairly large and noticeable device has evolved into technology that can be remarkably small, discreet and sophisticated. Today’s hearing aids can be rechargeable, connect wirelessly to phones and televisions, and use advanced technology to help make speech clearer in a range of listening environments. There are also more choices than ever when it comes to style. From discreet behind-the-ear devices and custom in-ear hearing aids to completely invisible options, hearing technology can be tailored to suit different levels of hearing loss, lifestyles and preferences. But even with all this technology, we still see people who have hearing aids sitting in a drawer because they aren’t happy with them. Perhaps they whistle, feel uncomfortable, sound unnatural or don’t seem to help in the situations that matter most. Sometimes people simply aren’t sure whether their hearing aids have been fitted or adjusted correctly. If you’re frustrated with your current hearing aids, talk to us at Hear Again Audiology in Currimundi. We offer a free second opinion for existing hearing aid users who feel unhappy with their aids.

BEYOND THE COST OF GLASSES: WHAT SUITS YOUR EYES? You have weighed up the cost of glasses and have considered the inconvenience of contact lenses. The next question is more personal: which vision correction option suits your eyes? Choosing laser eye surgery starts with understanding your vision, eye health and everyday priorities. Reading a menu, working at a computer and driving place different demands on your sight. A comprehensive assessment helps establish whether surgery is appropriate and which options deserve consideration. Your prescription, corneal measurements, medical history and the condition of your natural lens all inform the discussion. At EyeHub, specialist ophthalmologist and refractive surgeon Dr Sonia Moorthy assesses patients across laser and lens procedures. Options include Smile Pro, Lasik, PRK, Presbyond and refractive lens exchange, depending on individual suitability. The purpose of offering different procedures is to match treatment to the person. A procedure suitable for a friend is not automatically suitable for you. Ask practical questions. What improvement is realistic?

Will you still need glasses for some activities? What are the risks, recovery requirements and alternatives? What follow-up care will you need? Surgery aims to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Results vary and some people continue to need visual aids. Continuing with glasses is also a valid choice. EyeHub now offers consultations in Noosaville, bringing specialist advice closer to residents. An assessment gives you information for a considered decision, without assuming surgery is the answer.

WILLS & ESTATES

Did you know? Your text messages could end up in court as a Will. Queensland courts can recognise an informal document, including some electronic messages, if satisfied it was intended to operate as a Will. That doesn’t mean a text saying “the house is yours” automatically counts. Your pet can be remembered in your Will. You can make arrangements for who should care for your dog or cat after you die. It’s worth discussing how to provide for their ongoing care, rather than simply naming a carer.

Planning for peace of mind

t’s one of those jobs we know we should get around to, but somehow life always seems to get in the way. Making a Will, sorting out our estate and deciding what happens to our assets when we’re no longer here can be easy to put in the too-hard basket. After all, it’s not exactly the most cheerful topic of conversation. But estate planning isn’t just about what happens when we die. It’s about looking after the people we love, making our wishes clear and giving our family peace of mind at a time when they may already be dealing with enough. Whether you own a home, have superannuation, run a business, have children or simply want to make sure your belongings go to the right people, having the right plans in place matters. And while writing a Will is an important first step, there’s more to consider than many of us realise.

The good news is that getting your affairs in order doesn’t have to be complicated, provided you have the right advice For this special Wills and estates feature, we caught up with local experts to explore the essentials of estate planning, unpack some common misconceptions and share practical advice to help you make informed decisions about your future. From understanding the importance of a properly prepared Will to navigating the finer details of estate administration, our experts explain what you need to know, what you should avoid and why leaving things until later can create unnecessary stress for those left behind. Because while we can’t predict what lies ahead, we can take steps today to make things a little easier for the people who matter most.

Your executor could be personally liable for mistakes. Being named executor isn’t just an honour. It comes with responsibilities, and mistakes in administering an estate can have serious consequences. Choose someone willing and capable of taking on the job. Your Will could become a public document. In Queensland, once a Will is filed with the Supreme Court as part of a probate application, it becomes a public document that people can access for a fee. Your family might not inherit everything you think they will. Superannuation, jointly owned assets and assets held through trusts or companies may be dealt with outside your Will. The way you own your assets can matter as much as what your Will says.

aking a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones, yet it is often put off until later in life. Many people also assume that being married, having children or owning property means their wishes will automatically be respected. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Without a valid Will, Queensland’s intestacy laws determine how your estate is distributed. The outcome may not reflect your intentions and can lead to delays, additional costs and family disputes. A properly drafted Will allows you to decide who inherits your assets, appoint a trusted executor to administer your estate and, if you have minor children, nominate a guardian. Keeping it up to date is equally important. Marriage, separation, divorce, having children, purchasing property, receiving an inheritance or starting a business can all affect your estate planning needs. One common misconception is that a Will controls everything you own. Superannuation, for example, does not automatically form part of your estate. Depending on your fund’s rules and the arrangements in place, a valid binding death benefit nomination may direct who receives your super, or the fund’s trustee may determine the beneficiaries. Property held jointly and certain assets held through trusts or companies may also be dealt with separately. For blended families, careful planning is particularly important. Leaving everything to a spouse in the hope they will later provide for children from a previous relationship can create uncertainty. Depending on individual circumstances, testamentary trusts, mutual Wills and structured beneficiary nominations may help protect both a partner and children. Even a valid Will can be challenged. Eligible family members or dependants may make a claim if they believe they have not been adequately provided for, while concerns about capacity, undue influence or improper witnessing can also lead to disputes. Professional advice and clear documentation can help reduce these risks, although no plan can guarantee that a claim will never arise. Choosing the right executor is another important decision. This person may need to locate assets, pay debts, apply for probate and distribute the estate. They should be trustworthy, organised and willing to take on the responsibility. If you have not made a Will or reviewed your estate plan recently, seek advice from an estate planning solicitor to ensure your Will, Enduring Power of Attorney and other arrangements work together. Let Duke Legal help you start your Will in minutes—scan the QR code below.

state planning is often treated as a one-off task: prepare a Will, sign the documents and file them away. But keeping your affairs in order involves more than ticking a box. It means thinking about the decisions others may need to make on your behalf and ensuring they have the information and authority to do so. One important consideration is what happens if you lose the capacity to manage your own affairs while you are still alive. An Enduring Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make certain financial and personal decisions on your behalf if required. Choosing that person carefully is essential, as they may be called upon to make decisions when you are unable to make them yourself. Practical organisation is equally valuable. Family members may struggle to locate important documents, identify financial commitments or understand how different arrangements fit together. Keeping records of bank accounts, investments, property details, insurance policies and professional advisers in an accessible, secure place can make a difficult period considerably easier to manage Digital assets are another consideration that can be overlooked. Online banking, subscription services, email accounts, photographs and files stored in the cloud may all form part of a person’s digital footprint. Thinking ahead about how these accounts should be handled, while protecting passwords and personal information, can prevent unnecessary complications. Business owners also have additional matters to consider. What would happen to the business if they could no longer work? Are there arrangements for another person to take over management, and do existing agreements explain what happens if an owner dies or becomes incapacitated? Business succession planning can help provide continuity and reduce uncertainty for employees, co-owners and family members. It is also worth considering whether family members understand the practical arrangements that have been made. While there may be good reasons to keep some decisions private, communicating relevant information can help avoid confusion and unexpected surprises. The first step is to take stock of your circumstances, identify gaps and seek appropriate legal advice. Depending on your needs, this may involve reviewing powers of attorney, business agreements, asset records and other documents alongside your broader estate arrangements. Good planning is about making sure the right people can step in, important information is available and your affairs can be managed with as little disruption as possible if circumstances change.

family business is thriving, the farm has been passed down through generations, or a property portfolio has taken decades to build. But what happens when the person behind it passes away? This is the question that can turn estate administration into a complicated and costly exercise. For people with substantial assets, a Will is only part of the picture. The challenge is ensuring the practical arrangements behind those assets are clear, legally sound and capable of working when they are needed. Take a family business. Leaving shares to children might seem straightforward, but it does not necessarily answer who will manage the company, how decisions will be made or whether the business can afford to buy out an owner’s interest. Without appropriate succession arrangements, surviving family members may find themselves dealing with uncertainty at the same time as grieving a loss. The same applies to farms, investment properties and other significant assets. Ownership structures, existing agreements and outstanding debts can all influence what happens next. Decisions made years earlier may have consequences that were never anticipated. Another area requiring attention is the way gifts and financial assistance are handled during a person’s lifetime. If one child receives a substantial loan, another is given money to buy a home, or a family member contributes years of unpaid work to a business, it is worth documenting what those arrangements mean. Was the money a gift or a loan? Leaving these questions unanswered can create disputes over what the deceased intended. There is also a misconception that a carefully written Will cannot be challenged. Eligible people may seek further provision from an estate, while questions about the validity of a Will can arise if there are concerns about capacity, pressure or the way the document was signed. Good records and professional advice can help clarify intentions and reduce uncertainty, although they cannot prevent every claim. It’s important to take a comprehensive look at assets, liabilities, business interests, ownership arrangements and existing agreements before preparing or reviewing a Will. It is also an opportunity to consider who should manage financial affairs if capacity is lost and whether business succession plans remain workable. The aim is to ensure that years of hard work are supported by arrangements that make sense in practice, not just on paper. Protecting an estate is about making sure the assets, businesses and commitments built over a lifetime can be managed with clarity.

WILLS & ESTATES

Miller Sockhill Lawyers

hen it comes to estate planning, many Australians assume that making a Will is enough to ensure their assets go to the people they love. But the reality is more complicated and overlooking a few important details can leave families facing unexpected costs, delays and disputes at an already difficult time. A Will is an essential starting point, but it is only one piece of the estate planning puzzle. One of the biggest misconceptions is that a Will controls everything a person owns. In fact, superannuation, life insurance, property held as joint tenants and assets held through trusts or companies may be dealt with separately. Beneficiary nominations and ownership arrangements can determine who receives these assets, regardless of what the Will says. That is why estate planning needs to look at the bigger picture, ensuring the Will works alongside superannuation, insurance and other financial arrangements. A valid Will gives people control over how their estate is distributed, allowing them to provide for loved ones and set out their wishes clearly. Without one, a person dies intestate. In Queensland, their estate is distributed according to the intestacy provisions of the Succession Act 1981, which set out how assets pass to a spouse, children or other relatives. The outcome may not reflect the relationships or intentions of the person who has died. The estate will also need someone appointed to administer it, which can add time, expense and complexity. Every adult with assets, dependants or children should consider making a Will and reviewing it after significant life changes. Marriage, separation, divorce, the birth of a child, buying property, starting a business or receiving an inheritance can all affect an estate plan. Even a Will that was perfectly suitable years ago may no longer reflect a person’s circumstances. Small oversights can create significant problems. An incorrectly witnessed document, unclear wording, missing substitute beneficiaries or the absence of a residuary clause can leave uncertainty about how an estate should be distributed. Another common mistake is attempting to leave property that the person does not personally own or overlooking assets that fall outside the estate. Superannuation is a good example. It does not automatically form part of an estate, and the fund trustee may determine who receives a death benefit, depending on the fund’s rules and any valid binding nomination. Nominations can also expire or be invalid, so they should be checked regularly. Property ownership matters, too. A home held as joint tenants will ordinarily pass automatically to the surviving owner. Where property is held as tenants in common, the deceased’s share generally forms part of their estate.

30 My Weekly Preview | October 29, 2026

Virginnia Yow – Associate, Anthony Miller – Principal Lawyer, Sheila Dixon – Paralegal Debts, taxes and administration expenses must also be considered before beneficiaries receive their entitlements. These details are particularly important for blended families, where a person may want to provide for a current partner while ensuring children from an earlier relationship eventually inherit. Depending on the circumstances, options such as testamentary trusts or a right for a surviving partner to occupy the family home may help balance competing needs. The right approach will depend on the family’s relationships, assets and long-term intentions. Even a properly prepared Will does not guarantee that disputes will never arise. A Will may be challenged on grounds such as lack of testamentary capacity, improper execution, undue influence, fraud or the existence of a later Will. Separately, an eligible person may make a family provision application if they believe the deceased failed to make adequate provision for their proper maintenance and support. In Queensland, this can include certain spouses, children and dependants. Courts consider a range of factors, including the size of the estate, the applicant’s financial needs, their relationship with the deceased and the competing claims of other beneficiaries. While no estate plan can prevent every dispute, careful preparation can reduce the risk. Clear documentation, appropriate professional advice, realistic arrangements for significant assets and an independent executor where family conflict is foreseeable can all help. Unequal distributions deserve particular care. Explaining the reasons behind a decision may provide useful evidence, but it does not prevent someone from bringing a claim. An executor is responsible for carrying out the instructions in a Will, but the role involves considerably more than distributing money.

Responsibilities can include locating and protecting assets, applying for probate, notifying financial institutions, paying debts, managing tax obligations and resolving claims before distributing the estate. The role can be demanding, particularly when a family business, valuable property or complex financial arrangements are involved. Executors may also face personal liability if they distribute assets prematurely or mishandle estate obligations. Choosing someone trustworthy, organised and capable of handling financial and administrative responsibilities is essential. Naming a substitute executor is also sensible. For anyone who has not made a Will or reviewed their estate planning in years, the first step is to map out their financial and family circumstances. List assets, debts, property ownership, superannuation, insurance, trusts, companies and dependants. Next, gather existing documents, including the Will, enduring Power of Attorney and beneficiary nominations, and check whether they remain appropriate. Finally, seek advice from a suitably qualified solicitor to prepare or update the Will and ensure the wider arrangements work together. Estate planning can feel like a task that is easy to put off, but it is ultimately about protecting the people and assets that matter most. A little preparation now can make a significant difference to the people left behind. Words: Anthony Miller, Principal Lawyer

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Story time: On a surf trip in Baja, Mexico, 35 years ago, I was camping in the desert on the edge of a steep cliff when a drunk Mexican appeared from nowhere. We fed him, and he fell asleep face first in his food. When we woke, he was gone, and we hoped he hadn’t fallen off the cliff. Luck was on his side – we found him off the only cliff that had a six metre drop. The others were all around 60 metres deep! His pants were around his ankles and he was asleep. Apparently, the midnight toilet stop did not go to plan. Of course, it could have been a lot worse. Beware of drunk toilet stops! Oh, and as for the surf? There’s none. Duh.
