This week...

From the editor Whilst trawling through the depths of social media last week, I came across a post that gave me the warm fuzzies about people and the planet.

A friend had placed an old pot on her front lawn for council pick-up. To her surprise, her neighbour spotted it, repurposed it into a mini succulent garden and regifted it to her. A gesture so simple, yet so thoughtful and resourceful.

Perhaps it was the fact I'd been to Lake Mac's Living Smart Festival at Speers Point Park earlier that day (me and 35,000 others!), where I'd supported local makers (shout out to Urban Hum for my Warners Bay-made honey), but it made me realise, maybe we can hack it at this sustainability thing.

On a final note, this is my last week with Newcastle Weekly. That still sounds weird to say! After three-anda-half years here (the last two-and-ahalf as editor), I've taken up another great position, where I'm proud to say I will continue to serve our wonderful, vibrant community.

It's funny; even as a journalist, words fail me to describe how much I've loved sharing your stories. I feel like I've gotten to know you all so well, particularly through this column.

With that, I leave you in the capable hands of your new editor, Ben Murphy.

news Petition seeks national trial to treat food allergies A life of checking labels and being hypervigilant about eating habits has been the norm for one Lake Macquarie family.

Chloe Hatton suffered her first bout of anaphylaxis at the age of four.

The allergic reaction, which could become life-threatening, was triggered by an exposure to tree nuts.

“We nearly lost her because we didn’t know what was happening,” Chloe’s mother, Rebecca, says.

“Since then, it’s basically been about creating a little bubble around her to keep her safe.

“Now she’s in high school, it is a little bit harder because she’s wanting a bit more independence – she is wanting to go shopping with her friends and obviously have lunch out together.

“That makes life a bit harder

because you don’t want your mum hanging around.”

The Floraville family is not alone.

Australia has one of the world’s highest rates of food allergies, with an estimated one in 10 infants developing reactions.

A petition, which has already attracted more than 6,000 signatures, urges the federal government to fund research into a potentially lifechanging treatment.

Oral immunotherapy involves planned and managed incremental exposure to an allergen under controlled conditions.

There are two types – one uses pharmaceutical products and the other relies on the careful introduction of the allergenic food.

The latter treatment, known as food immunotherapy, is available

overseas but has yet to be offered in Australia.

Trials are not commercially funded, so petitioners have sought the government’s support to facilitate it in a practical, accessible form.

“It’ll open a lot of doors for [Chloe] and all Australians really,” Rebecca says.

“Because it does not involve pharmaceuticals and it involves actual food, there’s no reason why it can’t

start happening straight away.”

The petition, titled Access to Food Allergy Treatment, will close on Wednesday 16 October.

It requests the Minister for Health, Greg Hunt, facilitate all necessary policy initiatives, legislation and administrative action required to establish the trial.

news Walk to aid brain cancer research It was Easter Monday in 2015 when Elise Barratt jumped into the iconic Bogey Hole for a swim.

As she waded over to the side, the primary school teacher noticed she didn’t have the coordination or strength to lift herself out.

Elise decided to float with her arms outstretched, but the last thing she remembered was being underwater unable to breathe.

After suffering a seizure, the 33-year-old was rushed to John Hunter Hospital and, numerous tests later, it was discovered she had a brain tumour.

Elise recovered well from surgery and slowly went back to life as normal.

However, two years down the track, the doctor reported the cancer was growing back one millimetre every six months.

The Bolton Point resident’s family contacted renowned brain surgeon, Dr Charlie Teo, who gave Elise hope that he could remove the tumour, which would eliminate the need for anti-seizure medication and allow her to start a family with her partner, Ben. In August 2017, she went in for her second

brain surgery. Since then, Elise has been taken off all medication, with zero seizure activity.

She now only needs to have MRIs every six months and – best of all – her beautiful baby boy, Henry, was born in September 2018.

Elise has teamed up with Walk 4 Brain Cancer Newcastle organiser Sarah Gallagher, who lost her husband Peter to brain cancer in 2012, just weeks after their baby’s birth, to coordinate this year’s event.

The walk, which raises funds and awareness for the illness, takes place on Sunday 20 October from 9.30am at No.4 Sportsground, Newcastle.

For Elise, the walk represents a chance to give back.

“I’ve been doing it since I was diagnosed and, this year, I asked Sarah if she wanted help,” Elise says.

“We’re doing it at No.4 Sportsground this time because we feel it will gain a bit more exposure there.”

Funds raised will go to the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation, with merchandise available on the day.

About 1,700 people are diagnosed with brain cancer in Australia annually and roughly 1,200 die from the disease every year.

The Cure Brain Cancer Foundation states it is dedicated to accelerating the development of new treatments to increase five-year survival from the current 20% to 50% by 2023.

Inclusion for all

Volunteers set to tackle graffiti Graffiti vandalism costs the state government and residents more than $300 million each year.

An annual Graffiti Removal Day, established in 2012, has saved the community an estimated $10.4 million.

Volunteers are once again ready to roll up their sleeves and take part in the 2019 edition on Sunday 27 October.

Belmont/Lake Macquarie supervisor Pam Wellham, who has been in the role for the past three years, says the event acts as a deterrent.

“In the majority of cases, [graffiti] that has been removed hasn’t reappeared,” she says.

“With graffiti, the sooner you take it off and keep doing it, then the taggers will give up.

“However, a couple of locations are big and constantly need to be cleaned up.”

Ms Wellham encourages volunteers to sign up and nominate sites that need attention around their area.

Graffiti Removal Day will supply gloves, eye protection and overalls to volunteers, while

the site supervisor offers instructions on using removal liquid and paint.

“It doesn’t really take that long – the more people we have, the quicker it is,” Ms Wellham adds.

“We encourage people, wherever they are, to put information into the website and the most appropriate site will then be determined.”

Go to graffitiremovalday.org.au for more information, or call Ms Wellham on 0437 479 886.

From games to educational opportunities, Newcastle’s first disability inclusion festival aims to increase engagement and break down barriers.

Newcastle lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes said the month-long Count Us In Festival, which launched last week, would highlight the benefits of inclusion.

“The Count Us In Festival effectively and respectfully links people with disabilities with the broader community and breaks down the barriers to inclusion,” she said.

“We can all think about the role we play to help create a city that includes all people socially, culturally, and in the workplace.”

Activations will focus on education and awareness, such as the role local business can play in creating employment opportunities and making their workplaces more inclusive for people with disability; positive parenting sessions; and workshops that showcase support networks for carers.

The festival will wrap up on Friday 25 October. Visit newcastle.nsw.gov.au/count-us-in for more information.

news Neil leaves lasting legacy There is one main lesson Neil Lloyd has learned from more than four decades’ work in employment services.

“You don’t win every race, but you can change people’s lives,” he says.

Since 1981, Neil has helped thousands of job seekers, often from disadvantaged backgrounds, who were in need of employment throughout Newcastle and the Hunter Region.

He worked for national not-forprofit Workskil Australia, based on Hunter Street, for the past fourand-a-half years as an engagement coordinator, before deciding to call time on a 42-year career this month.

“I first started working with Centrelink and really enjoyed helping people,” he says.

“When the opportunity came to join Workskil Australia, I jumped at the chance and it’s something I’ve

never regretted.

“Every day in employment services is different; each customer has a different story and I love working out how I can help them.”

Neil often bumps into former customers who found employment.

He says one success story stands out.

“There was a lady about 10 years ago who had a lot of issues in so far as mental health,” he says.

“We got her back into work and assisted her to get further qualifications.

“She’d be in her mid-40s now and, to the best of my knowledge, she is still in that same job.

“I have bumped into her since and she does remember me.”

Neil says two of the biggest changes over the years have been the emergence of computers and BHP steelworks’ closure in 1999, which

transformed the region’s job market.

“When I first started there were no computers, it was all done by hand and sheet,” he says.

“With the closure of the BHP [plant], there are now more skills and qualifications required to do things, but there are also different ways of finding people work.

“It was more labour intensive [work] – it’s now more high-tech skills compared to 20 or 30 years ago.”

Workskil Australia’s regional

employment manager in the Hunter, Nigel Wilson, says the Newcastle team will miss Neil’s dedication.

“He has led by example, assisting some of our most disadvantaged customers from diverse backgrounds to achieve some amazing outcomes,” Mr Wilson says.

“We will definitely miss his humour and positive contributions to our team, and we wish him all the best in retirement.”

news Breakthrough at Stockton Stockton Beach has been classified among the state’s coastal erosion hotspots in a move that opens the door to more funding for emergency works.

NSW Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock and Minister for the Environment Matt Kean made the announcement at Stockton on Monday afternoon.

Newcastle council is now able to apply for state government grants of up to $1.5 million, which it will then need to match.

Newcastle state MP Tim Crakanthorp and Shadow Minister for Local Government Greg Warren subsequently released a joint statement praising the government’s decision.

“Mr Crakanthorp has also welcomed the ministers’ commitment that ‘everything is on the table’ and to discussing offshore dredging of sand for beach nourishment purposes with the deputy premier [John Barilaro], who has carriage of this matter.”

Meanwhile, Newcastle council warned local students about the dangers of sand cliffs due to the erosion at the beach.

With the school holidays now under way, people have been urged not to stand too close to the top or bottom of sand cliffs because of their potential for collapse under zero weight loads and without warning.

Council staff have marked the danger area at Barrie Crescent to help alert locals of the danger.

news Gross factor engages kids in vital research The Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) knows exactly how to appeal to kids’ love of the gross and the unreal.

Its enduringly popular Poo Room exhibit will return to this year’s HMRI Open Day, for which the line each year is longer than a stretched-out small intestine.

The interactive space gives kids the opportunity to find out how poo is made and what your poo says about you, as well as the chance to “make” their own poo.

While the gross factor is high, the research behind the room is vital, with the HMRI using the open day to showcase the leaps and bounds made in its very own labs and clinics.

Two new exhibits join the program this year: Blood and Guts Central and The Brain Exhibition.

The former will give The Poo Room a run for its money in terms of ickiness, where kids can get made-up with fake wounds or bruises in the moulage and simulation tent; while the latter will feature a dazzling array of kid-friendly booths showcasing the HMRI’s research into mental health, brain cancer, artificial intelligence and virtual reality.

The Brain Room will be supported by public seminars from Professor Frini Karayanidis on The Wonders of the Brain, and Associate Professor Paul Tooney, who will speak about The Mysteries of the Brain.

Back in Blood and Guts Central, Associate Professor Simon Keely will speak about gut health and how it can even influence our mental health, as well as the important role our digestive system plays in our

The Kick-On for Women Program aims to entice women who are time poor due to family and work commitments to participate in organised physical activity.

Program a kick-start for females A modified football program that encourages women to get fit through a more social and accessible format will kick off this month.

In a state-first, Northern NSW Football (NNSWF) has launched the Kick-On for Women Program,

which is set to span across 22 locations in metropolitan, regional and remote NSW from Monday 21 October.

This includes seven sites in the Hunter Region – Speers Point, Mayfield, Garden Suburb, East Maitland, Cessnock, Swansea,

and Wallsend. NNSWF chief executive David Eland said the program was born from feedback via mums, sisters and girlfriends who were interested in the sport but not able to overcome the barriers of self-confidence and time commitments.

Kick-On for Women is aimed at females over the age of 16 who are currently not active or have spent time away from organised physical activity.

“By creating safe, comfortable and welcoming environments, women wanting to learn the basic skills of the game can do so in a supportive, judgement-free and social space,” Eland said.

“The 45-minute sessions are often run on Monday evenings to help women kick-start their week.

“They also run over an eightweek term, the shorter format designed to entice women who are time poor due to family and work commitments to participate

in the program.” A trial in Garden Suburb has attracted more than 31 new participants to date and boasts a 68% retention rate.

Participant Leann Bartley said she was shy and had found it hard to enter large groups.

“I was nervous walking into my first Kick-On session,” she said.

“I could kick a ball but didn’t know anyone else there.

“By the end of the first session, I made new friends, had a great time, and picked up some further football skills.”

According to NNSWF, women’s football has never been more popular throughout the region, with another 5% increase in female participation reported in the 2019 traditional season.

The Kick-On for Women initiative was made possible thanks to a $162,000 grant provided through the federal government’s Move It Aus Program.

Chicken breast burger with halloumi cheese This is an edited extract from The Barbecue Guide, RRP $24.99, published by New Holland Publishers and available from all good book retailers or online.

Serves 6 3 skinless chicken breast fillets 2 eggplants, cut into 1cm rounds 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cracked pepper 8 tsp barbecue rub (see below) 45ml olive oil 6 halloumi slices sweet chili sauce, to taste 6 burger rolls of your choice 2 baby cos lettuce 3 tomatoes 1 large cucumber For the barbecue rub 60g brown sugar 2 tsp paprika

taste our cover star

Using a sharp knife, slice the chicken breasts horizontally into two even pieces. Salt each eggplant slice.

Once water beads form on the surface, rinse the eggplant pieces thoroughly to remove the salt. Pat dry and spread out on a cutting board. Combine the salt, pepper, and barbecue rub. Rub each chicken fillet with the mix and olive oil, then place on a medium-high grill. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Meanwhile, place the slices of eggplant and haloumi on a medium-high oiled barbecue flat plate, turning when golden brown. Cut the burgers in half and lightly toast. Spread the base of the rolls with sweet chili sauce. Add the chicken, eggplant and halloumi, then top with lettuce, tomato and cucumber to your liking.

1 tsp salt 1 tsp mustard powder

To make the barbecue rub

1 tsp black pepper

Combine all the ingredients. Increase the pepper and the mustard to make it hot and spicy by adding a few more teaspoons. This can be stored in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

1 tsp chilli flakes 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder

BBQ bites

Fire up the barbie, it’s entertaining season!

A big fat rump steak This is an edited extract from Red Hot & Smokin’ by Graeme Stockdale, RRP $35, published by New Holland Publishers and available from all good book retailers or online.

Serves 4 1.2kg rump steak handful chopped herbs (e.g. thyme, rosemary, parsley) 3 cloves garlic, chopped salt and pepper chimichurri sauce, to serve charred corn salsa, to serve roast potato, carrot and onion, to serve

Lube steak with a splash of olive oil and then rub down with herbs, garlic and seasoning. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for one hour – bringing onto the bench after 30 minutes to get to room temperature.

Grill over some decent heat until you’re happy – keep an eye on it and pull it away from hot spots if it starts to flare up and burn. About 10 minutes either side should be somewhere around medium rare.

Remove from heat and rest in a warm spot for 10 minutes. Make sure you do rest it – it’s a large piece of meat.

Cut it into big slices across the grain.

Serve with chimichurri sauce, charred corn salsa, and potato, carrot and onion salad, or side dishes of your choice.

Bookworms rejoice at fair’s return to Newcastle Newcastle’s Lifeline Book Fair returns this October long weekend after a four-year hiatus.

The much-loved event, previously known as Bookfest, was last held in 2015.

Lifeline Hunter Central Coast’s PR, marketing and fundraising manager, Emma Askew, cited a lack of storage and volunteer manpower as the main reason for the break.

“The ongoing cost got a bit too much,” she said.

The organisation has collaborated with its Canberran counterpart to revive the book fair, with support from Newcastle council.

“Canberra Lifeline Book Fair is held every year and they have a dedicated warehouse where volunteers sort book donations yearround,” Ms Askew added.

“So, any surplus now gets delivered to Newcastle.”

More than 20,000 pre-loved books sorted into 60 categories will be for sale when the fair makes its grand return to 35/54 Clyde Street,

Hamilton North (behind the Lifeline Shop) from Saturday 5 to Monday 7 October.

The biggest section is adult fiction, but there will also be an area dedicated to children’s books for sale from $1 each, as well as secondhand CDs and DVDs. Lifeline Hunter Central Coast aims to raise $30,000 through the fundraiser, which will support the cost of training new telephone crisis supporters as well as fund its local, face-to-face counselling service.

The organisation is seeking more volunteers to help set up, run and pack up after the fair, which will be held from 9am to 4pm on Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday and Monday.

The fair already has about 30 volunteers – many of them corporate – on board.

If you are interested, phone Lifeline’s business development manager, Jason Fox, on 0488 002 185. Lifeline still relies on book donations to its local shops.

Sidekick Zoe and Mr Safety ahead of Circus Avalon’s new jungle adventure at the Callaghan College Waratah campus. Photo: Peter Stoop

Circus is back with jungle adventure An all-new jungle adventure will roar into Waratah this weekend with the return of Circus Avalon.

After a two-year absence, Circus Avalon will present Safari at 14 shows across five actionpacked days.

Join Mr Safety and his sidekick Zoe as they travel through the jungle-themed big top, discovering all the curious creatures like butterflies, birds, monkeys, lions and more.

The large jungle set, which is built from waste material either brought in by the 160 members of the circus or found on the roadside, has been entered in the Lake Macquarie Waste to Art exhibition.

Circus Avalon founder John Campbell says Safari features several new elements.

“We were very strict and used all material intercepted directly from waste,” he says.

“The soundscape or animal noises have been made by 100 or so kids from the youth circus and it’s the largest-scale show we’ve had in Newcastle.

“It’s been a few months in the making; we’ve been working on developing a set of new characters for it.”

Circus Avalon is a Newcastlebased community circus.

It operates the city’s largest circus school, the Avalon Circus Academy, which trains up to 130 students each term, and presents shows under its traditional green-and-yellow big top.

Campbell says the circus is excited about the chance to perform again in Newcastle.

Safari will be presented at the Callaghan College Waratah campus, with a free 30-minute workshop to take place after the 11am and 3pm shows.

“We have been performing in Sydney for the past couple of years and this is our first time back in Newcastle since then, so we’re looking forward to that,” he says.

“With the free workshops for kids – it’s just much more of a community thing than we’re normally able to do.”

Showtimes will be this Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 October from 11am, 3pm and 7pm; as well as Monday 7 October at 11am and 5pm; and Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October from 11am, 3pm and 7pm.

Prices are $25 for adults (ages 13+) and $15 for children (ages 3-12).

Beat the Holiday rush!

By arrangement with Hal Leonard Australia Pty Ltd, on behalf of Dramatists Play Service, Inc New York.

In the near future, astronaut Major Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) survives a fall from a space antenna due to an explosion caused by a power surge of unknown origin.

Soon, the major is briefed on the possible cause of the surge: Roy’s long-lost, and presumed dead, esteemed astronaut father (Tommy Lee Jones), in his continuing project to find intelligent extra-terrestrial life from his project station orbiting Neptune.

The last highly anticipated, non-Marvel or Star Wars, sci-fi space-faring movie was Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, which dealt with the fate of mankind amid a story of a father’s life-long separation from his daughter. Where Interstellar was jam-packed full of plot, exposition and time-travel, Ad Astra is decidedly simpler and straightforward: a son’s search for his estranged father.

Roy leads a solitary and streamlined life as a consequence of the early loss of his father. Following in his absent father’s footsteps, Roy is extremely professional to the detriment of any personal life.

Set in the near future to host leaps in both setting and any unintentional scientific hiccups, Roy’s journey through his Heart of Darkness is breathtaking. Visually similar to Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, Roy’s planetary-hopping journey is captured comprehensively and confidently. While director James Gray had hoped to depict space travel in a realistic and hostile setting, Roy’s professionalism, laced with Pitt’s inherently smooth performance, undermines such attempts.

Verdict: A simple and personal story told in an epic fashion. Brad has never been better. 4.5 stars.

Sunscreen

Face (and body) oils can be a great way to get some moisture into your skin. And they’re not just for those with dry skin, either! Some people with oily skin find that using a face oil can help balance out their skin’s oil production.

Give your moisturiser a little bit of help with some extra hydration.

Quite possibly the most important skincare step is sunscreen – all over your body, every day!

• When choosing colours, think about the mood you want to create. I chose greeny-blues and accents of cinnamon and terracotta here because I wanted to create a cosy, refreshing vibe.

• Start with an artwork: Take your colour cues from a key painting or print to give your room scheme an intentional feel.

• Add energy to the space with one or two jolts of an unexpected colour. And remember, contrast is key.

• Have fun and experiment – remember, if you change your mind about a colour, you can always paint over it. To feel confident with your choice, always start with a sample pot or A4-size swatch so you can live with the colour for a few days without fully committing.

This year, spring is quite fickle: warm to cold, which is ideal to continue the spring flowers longer than normal.

Often, when October arrives, azaleas and bulbs can be on the wane.

Spring-flowering annuals, stocks, poppies and primula can begin to look droopy, leaving just pansies to give colour until petunias begin to spread and bloom.

When spring bulbs have finished flowering, don’t cut them off; allow the foliage to die down as this process is essential for protein storage for the next season. Be sure to fertilise at this time.

Tropical shrubs such as hibiscus and Bougainvillea can be pruned and fertilised later this month when the weather is warmer.

Give daisies and diosma a light prune when they finish flowering.

Never cut these shrubs – including lavender – back to hard wood and remember, when

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

pruning, to always fertilise.

Grevillleas, bottlebrush and other native plants that have finished flowering can be pruned but remember to give them a boost with blood and bone.

Once Camellia japonicas finish flowering, apply cow manure and peat moss if ground grown. Those cultivated in containers should be fed with Bounceback.

When roses have finished their first flush of blooms, which I think will be later in October as mine are just budding now, cut spent blooms, then begin the monthly feeding regime.

This encourages good blooms and strong plants, remembering a healthy rose fights off fungal disease.

I treat my roses each month with something appropriate to weather conditions – for example, after rain, I apply dolomite to sweeten the soil.

The next month, if I’m using blood and bone on natives, the roses get a handful. The month after that, I use Sudden Impact for Roses and, just to vary their diet, the following month I hit them with Bounceback.

It is a little too early to plant annuals for a Christmas display.

Save this for November when cow manure will be applied one week before planting (unless growing in pots, which will require a good potting medium).

It’s now time to give indoor plants a weekly application of foliant fertiliser such as Flourish.

Where soil levels have become hard and crusty, turn over the topsoil and apply peat moss or new potting mix to the surface.

Wipe hard-leaved plants over with white oil to clean off dust, add shine and prevent insect infestation.

Baby Driver

Sunday, 9GO!, 9pm, MA15+ (2017)

Edgar Wright’s Baby Driver stunned audiences with its synchronisation of sound and visuals.

The film follows a young getaway driver who finds himself forced to take part in a doomed heist that threatens his life, love and freedom.

Starring Ansel Elgort (pictured), Lily James, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx, Wright proves again that he is one of the most talented filmmakers working today.

Friday

pick of the week The Dark Knight Friday, NBN, 8.30pm, M (2008)

Zombieland Tuesday, 9GO!, 9pm, MA15+ (2009)

The late Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker cemented his place as one of Hollywood’s greats. The Dark Knight sees Gotham’s rising superhero (Christian Bale, pictured with Ledger) making progress in his vigilante quest, with the help of Lt Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and newly appointed District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). That is, until the appearance of psychopathic mastermind The Joker, whose escalating violent games throw the city into a new era of darkness.

Jesse Eisenberg (pictured) stars as neurotic narrator Columbus, a nervous youngster who appears to be the last survivor of a zombie apocalypse. Along the way, he runs into gun-toting cowboy Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) and two savvy sisters (Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin). Full of sharp jokes, over-the-top gore and a sublime celebrity cameo, this is a bloody good time.

LENA HEADY

3 October 1973 Lena has some important fish to fry financially during the next 12 months and will have the chance to tidy up her bank balance. However she mustn’t overlook important matters, especially official ones.

She’s going to have to take responsibility for her actions and be focused when making important decisions. Travel plans will feature strongly and it will be important for her to remember it’s the journey not the destination that counts.

celebrity birthday

ARIES 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

Your eccentric behaviour will have others appreciating you for your differences. However, the odd person or two just won’t get their head around where you are coming from. If you’re trying to impress others, remember to take into account the environment and character of the people present.

You’re emotional and likely to snap at others if you don’t get your own way. Mars is strongly influencing your home life and, if you’re not careful, your domestic abode may start to resemble a battlefield. In relationships and friendships, you will want excitement but may feel the shadow of Saturn stifling you.

Happy Birthday Libra! You are the leader this month, thanks to both the Sun and Mars being in your sign. Put your best foot forward as others will be looking up to you, watching your every move and hanging on every word you say. Power equals responsibility.

Ask for that pay rise or go for that job interview, even if you don’t take it. What have you got to lose? At least you’ll learn about what you need to do to improve yourself. You have a chance to better yourself and can expect an increase in pay, commissions or back taxes to come through.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY Take the time to rediscover your talents, strengths, purposes and your professional ideals. However, you must remember to delegate or outsource work that is likely to block you from getting your major projects completed.

Bogging yourself down in the details won’t produce your best results.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE A lot of energy is being focused on your personal life, especially offspring. Parents can expect a sudden turnaround in their relationship with their children and a change for the better. If your children have lacked ambition, they’ll be more accommodating of your needs.

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG You’ll be full of vitality and won’t want to stand still. You’ll have itchy feet so expect to make the odd journey or two. Shopping or business trips could be on the agenda along with a fun filled day with family or friends, including a night out on the town.

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT This is the ideal time to take another look at your finances and work out a better way in which to handle them.

This is a period of clearing up and focusing on better things to come.

It is a time to be conservative rather than speculative.

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV Don’t jump the gun and go diving headlong into complicated energyconsuming scenarios because you will need time to think things through rather than jumping to conclusions. Draw upon your hidden resources, your past skills and other behind-the-scenes events to make life more creative and meaningful.

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR

I see you being generous this month and you’ll be called upon to assist in some humanitarian or community arena in which those less fortunate need help. This is also a creative time where you and your friends can share good times in one another’s company, actively pursuing similar interests.

You’ll have a natural interest in how to grow your bank balance, make your money work for you and reduce your debts quickly. For example, paying your mortgage weekly or fortnightly rather than monthly has a powerful impact on reducing the interest component of your mortgage.

We provide support, training and a generous tax free allowance of $1050 per fortnight.

Mars and Saturn will create some important tests this month. Your frustration with the status quo will make you angry and feel as though you’re ready to throw the towel in rather than deal with the realities. If you can overcome this test, you’ll be a better person for it.

My favourite things

HOME

My partner, luke, and i bought our first home in the ‘burbs a year ago. We’ve worked so hard to get where we are, and nothing makes me happier than coming home to my pack (that’s luke and Wesley) each day.

FAMily

Photo Peter Stoop

Between the two of us, we have three families (that’s three Christmases and a whole lotta birthdays!), but i wouldn’t have it any other way. From nieces and nephews, siblings to cousins, there’s so much love to give and receive.

Georgia Osland

WESlEy As much as he’s an energetic handful, i couldn’t imagine life without my furbaby, Wesley! He turned one this week and loves the beach and park, although he doesn’t mind a snooze on the bed with the humans.

TRAVEl

OuTGOiNG NEWCASTLE WEEKLY EDiTOR

Georgia is Newcastle Weekly’s youngest and longeststanding editor. Through this role, she has taken immense pride in supporting community groups and charities such as Ronald McDonald House, Lifeline, RSPCA, Camp Quality and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service – the latter of which she raised more than $3,000 for in the 2018 Leader’s Leap, which saw her abseil down the face of McDonald Jones Stadium with 23 other business and community leaders.

Georgia is a proud Novocastrian and a third-generation professional communicator, following in her father’s and grandfather’s footsteps to cut her teeth in community news at the tender age of 19. She is a natural storyteller, seeking out the extraordinary and unique, and is grateful to all of those who have entrusted her with their stories.

Seven countries and counting! The anticipation of landing in a new city never gets old. New york and Hong Kong were both highlights, but i’m looking forward to visiting New Zealand and Japan in 2020.

PODCASTS & TED TAlKS i’m quite introspective so i’m obsessed with anything that helps me learn more about what makes us tick. i’m currently enjoying My Millennial Money and She’s on the Money podcasts and have been known to fall down the TED Talks rabbit hole.
