It’s our week – let’s celebrate!

DIVE IN: Make a splash for Seniors Week and jump into the huge range of activities available.

THROUGHOUT the year, many seniors give generously of their time and expertise in a variety of endeavours.

Thousands volunteer at local charities and many provide valuable support to their families, particularly by caring for and spending time with grandchildren.

So now it is time to indulge yourself and enjoy what is on offer during Seniors Week.

You have the chance to rekindle an interest or plunge into a new one, to meet new friends and to re-connect with old mates.

In Queensland the week kicks off on August 15, finishing on August 23.

As usual there is a huge range of activities to suit every taste, no matter whether you want to get the body moving or prefer to settle for something more sedentary.

There are opportunities to exercise both your mind and your body.

Maybe try something different for a change – an aqua class at Coolum, a family history day at Caloundra, high tea at Caboolture Historical Society or a lively session of games at Pomona.

The program is packed with entertainment, information, activities and events to suit all tastes.

Peruse our Seniors Week calendar on pages 23–27 – you will be amazed at the variety of options.

Many activities are free but with some you will need to book in advance, so get the red pen out and pick your preferences.

Let’s end our winter hibernation, start sharing ourselves around and celebrating the things we can still do.

As Henry David Thoreau, the poet and philosopher once said, “None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm”.

THE 100th anniversary of the Battle of Lone Pine fought during the Gallipoli Offensive will be remembered at the Nambour Museum on 8th August at 1pm.

President Mr Clive Plater said the museum will acknowledge the battle with a service at the museum at 18 Mitchell Street.

“This is the fifth consecutive year the museum has held a Remembrance Service, with each year commemorating a different battle or operation, and this year’s is of interest in that it acknowledges a Gallipoli offensive that Australian servicemen won,” he said.

The Battle was fought between Australian and Turkish forces during World War I between 6 and 10 August 1915.

Part of the Gallipoli Campaign, the battle was part of a diversionary attack to draw Turkish attention away from the main assaults and became known as the August Offensive.

The Australians, initially at brigade strength, man-

aged to capture the main Ottoman trench line from the battalion that was defending the position in the first few hours of the fighting; however, the fighting continued for the next three days.

Finally, on 9 August the Turks called off any further attempts and by 10 August offensive action ceased, leaving the Australians in control of the position.

Publicity officer Jeanette Morrison said again this year leading up to the service, Sunshine Coast high school students took part in an essay writing competition to write a diary page by a nurse who would have treated the wounded from the Battle of Lone Pine.

“The winning entries will be read at the service and prizes presented to the students,” she said.

Also taking part will be cadets from 207SQN Nambour, personnel from RSL Nambour, essay sponsors, and RAAFA Nambour also essay sponsors and guest speak-

YOU can’t flake on this date – it’s almost Daffodil Day – lock it in and wear a pin to brighten the lives of Queenslanders impacted by cancer.

Join thousands of Queenslanders in a show of strength this August for Cancer Council’s Daffodil Appeal, and the official Daffodil Day (Friday, August 28) to raise vital funds and awareness for the fight against cancer.

Around 25,000 Queenslanders will be diagnosed with cancer this year alone.

Daffodil Day is a time to come together and show you care about beating the

disease and supporting those affected.

Cancer Council Queensland spokesperson Katie Clift said towns across Queensland would turn yellow as more than 800,000 fresh daffodils, pins, bears and pens were sold to raise vital funds.

“Buying a daffodil or other yellow Cancer Council merchandise will brighten your day, and brighten the lives of Queenslanders impacted by cancer,” Ms Clift said.

“All funds raised during the Daffodil Appeal, kicking off on August 1, and on Daffodil Day, are invested

in vital cancer research, prevention and education programs and patient support services.

“Cancer Council Queensland hopes to raise $1.7 million during the Daffodil Appeal and on the official Daffodil Day, while nationally, the campaign aims to raise $8.5 million to fund vital cancer research, prevention programs and support services.

The daffodil is the international symbol of hope for those touched by cancer, as it blooms at the end of winter and heralds the return of spring, vitality and growth.

Ms Clift said a bright splash of yellow does more than light up the community – it gives hope for better treatments, hope for more survivors and hope for a cancer-free future.

“With your help, we can make a difference and beat cancer – save the date this Daffodil Day!” Ms Clift said.

Purchase Daffodil Day merchandise at your local shopping centre, train and bus stations and other locations on the official day, August 28.

Donations can be made any time throughout the Daffodil Appeal.

Bitter-sweet budget provisions for seniors “Seniors will be breathing a sigh of relief but they were hoping the concessions will be keeping pace with inflation, instead of being eroded by rising living costs,” said National Seniors’ Queensland policy advisory group chair Vera Somerwil.

Ms Somerwil said there were some announcements in the budget that may deliver benefits for older people.

These included: $2 million over four years towards rebuilding the Of-

fice for Seniors and establishing a One Stop Shop and the Advisory Taskforce for Residential Transition for Ageing Queenslanders $20 million over four years to community based organisations to provide long day social respite services to elderly people with dementia and other degenerative neurological disorders $5.5 million per year over four years to fund a Financial Resilience program to support Queenslanders to respond better to financial

THE Vice President’s Lunch was held at the Caloundra Golf Club, with the theme being any city or country starting with V or P. Guests went to much thought and hard work.

More than two-thirds of the guests turned out in fancy dress.

The Grand Parade was a lot of fun as most of the fancy dressers thought that they were back to school days.

Three trivia sheets were put out based on local history and geography, amazing how well each table did, so they were all showered with chocolate bars.

Fellowship and fun were the big winners on the day.

OLDER people have welcomed the Queensland government’s commitment to maintaining concessions but are disappointed they were not indexed to the CPI, consumer lobby group National Seniors Australia says.

The State Budget reaffirmed the government’s earlier commitment to guarantee full funding for pensioner concessions on electricity, water, gas and transport after the Federal Government withdrew funds.

Linguistics and language THE fascinating story behind why we have moved from one language to thousands around the world is revealed by Dr Peter Grainger from the University of the Sunshine Coast at U3A House on Friday, July 31 at 2pm.

Since combining with the University of the Sunshine Coast, U3A Noosa has enjoyed several talks by its academics opening up even more topics and discussions for members and the public.

Historical linguistics, also called diachronic linguistics, is the scientific study of language change over time.

Previous courses at U3A Noosa on the history of the English language, have been booked out and in this one-off Dr Grainger will discuss observed changes in particular languages, explain how prehistorical languages changed and can be grouped into language families, how and why languages change.

The talk at U3A House, 64 Poinciana Ave, Tewantin, is open to everyone for $4 which includes afternoon tea.

Seniors Week fun

QUEENSLAND Seniors Week is a great opportunity to promote positive community attitudes towards older people and ageing, inter-generational relationships and to enhance community connections, according to Council on the Ageing Queensland chief executive Mark Tucker-Evans.

“Our aim is to unite different generations to develop socially inclusive communities in which older people are able to continue to make valuable contributions in their families, neighbourhoods and communities.”

Held from August 15-23, Seniors Week provides an

FRIENDSHIP FORCE: The Murray Bridge ambassadors.

Changing the way we see the world THIS happy group of 21 visitors (ambassadors) from Murray Bridge, South Australia were on the Sunshine Coast for a week in June, being home hosted by the Friendship Force of the Sunshine Coast.

They enjoyed seeing the attractions of the coast area as well as the hinterland and joining in organised activities with club members.

One highlight was a day at the Corbould Park rac-

es, trying their best to pick winners.

Friendship Force is an adult home hosting cultural exchange group, with more than 360 clubs in 67+ countries.

The group hosts and befriends national and international visitors as well as travelling to other clubs of the world and being, in turn, hosted to learn about other countries and cultures, therefore promoting friendship.

The Sunshine Coast area encompasses the Glasshouse area through to Nambour, the hinterland; Maleny to Mapleton and over to the coast from Caloundra to Noosa.

If anyone would like to learn more or attend one of the group’s meetings or social activities, contact the membership officer, Jim, on 5443 8959 or president, Mike, on 5478 1685.

New members are always welcome.

“With events from Goondiwindi, to the Gold Coast to Far North Queensland, there is something for everyone as it is a cross cultural, intergenerational, on for young and old, week of fun and informative events,” Mr Tucker-Evans said.

COTA Queensland co-ordinates Seniors Week and receives Queensland Government funding to collaboratively plan, run and subsidise Seniors Week events and activities.

“We encourage everyone to get involved.

“You don’t have to be old to attend and you do not have to be young to have fun.”

This year, COTA Queensland is asking people to take the time to make a connection by listening to someone’s story or by sharing your own.

“Seniors Week provides the opportunity for discovery of programs and services available to establish new and maintain existing relations,” Mr TuckerEvans said.

My Mother’s Veil I HESITATED a while before taking up the scissors, reflecting on the bittersweet history of the wedding veil spread out before me.

Long ago, in 1928, my father had presented the veil to his bride-to-be, then a girl of 16.

“I was tremendously thrilled,” recalled my mother in her memoirs.

“It was a beautifully fragile handmade Limerick lace veil...a vision of beauty in its frothy and gossamer loveliness.”

But mum never wore the veil. Just before the scheduled wedding, my father’s father died suddenly and the undercurrent of friction with his family, who were opposed to the marriage of an older man (my father was a widower of 32 with two small daughters) to a young girl, finally blew up, meaning the eventual wedding was a quiet affair with only two witnesses.

My mother wore a flapper dress of green satin with a dropped waistline and handkerchief points – but not the cherished Limerick lace veil.

Over the years the veil was removed from its box to be worn in the weddings of friends and related family. It adapted readily to the changing styles and many are the photographs of brides with the beautiful long embroidered train spread around their feet.

My mother loved it.

When it was taken out she would run her fingers under the delicate embroidery and say how lovely it was.

I wore it and so did my sisters and sisters-in-law, then it was granddaughters who wore the veil and each time it was carefully

washed in alum, as the prevailing knowledge dictated, and folded away in its box.

But the veil was becoming more fragile and had to be handled with great care.

An under-layer of tulle was added to reinforce it but little did anyone guess that the alum wash was a major cause of the deterioration, which was revealed when we tried to donate it to a museum’s bridal exhibition, unsuccessfully because of its poor condition.

As the eldest daughter, I became the veil’s custodian when mum died at the age of 96.

It can never be worn again and at last my sisters and I decided, not without regret, to cut it up and give each female relative a sizable piece to do with it as they wished.

Now something wonderful has happened. The veil that tore families apart also has the power to bring families together.

Emails have been circulating to relatives not contacted in years, around Australia and beyond to overseas.

We’ve swapped addresses and caught up with cousins and extended family, and photos of teenagers last known as babies have been flying around the internet.

Even some appointments have been made to meet up at some time – and suddenly there is a whole network of people all talking together and remembering...

Next week the pieces will be posted far and wide to our family, but for now, as I take up the scissors, I am sure my mother would be happy to know that her veil’s legacy is binding the family together.

A group of residents and volunteers knitting and nattering.

Knitting for the homeless OUR group of residents and volunteers met recently and spent another productive morning knitting and, of course, nattering!

The group welcomed Lorraine Wood and June Willis from Peregian Beach Community House Knit for Charity. Lorraine and June came to personally thank the ladies for their contributions of squares and rugs for the needy.

We have now completed

for the Needy Brisbane and Winter Angels.

The group consists of residents and some of their daughters. We are always very excited to see how lovely our squares look when put together.

We have at least 12–14 in the knitting group. They all love the socialising, laughing, sharing stories, but most of all the sense of continuity in helping the community.

Paralysis ticks can quickly affect the health of your pets THE paralysis tick is a parasite of native Australian animals.

Bandicoots as the primary hosts are immune to ticks but ticks are indiscriminate feeders and will climb onto your pets for a feed.

Winter/spring is tick season in South East Queensland.

The tick will attach its mouth parts to your pet’s skin: its saliva is neurotoxic.

After three to five days of feeding the tick has swollen to the size of a pea and is grey.

Bookings are essential on 5442 5570 or email info@genealogy-noosa.org.au.

Contact Win Wynn to arrange drop off on 5442 5570.

Symptoms of Tick Paralysis Syndrome are classified in stages: Stage 1: the patient has a wobbly gait or changes to his voice.

Stage 2: the patient presents with vomiting gagging or is having difficulty swallowing.

Stage 3: the patient cannot walk and is having difficulty breathing.

Stage 4: the patient is collapsed and unable to stay upright.

Tick-affected pets need to be assessed by a veterinar-

ian as soon as symptoms are noted.

Treatment levels depend on the severity of symptoms.

Your pet will need to be cared for by the veterinary team.

Drugs including the tick serum and intravenous fluids will be administered as needed.

The majority of tick-affected patients need to be hospitalised for one or more days.

The intensive care provided will include monitoring of vital signs – temperature,

pulse, respirations and oxygen levels; monitoring of urine output and provision of support therapy such intranasal oxygen.

Your pet may need its throat regularly suctioned of saliva and mucous which accumulates with paralysis.

Prevention is always better than cure and is done with daily coat checks and administering of tick preventing preparations especially the new monthly and threemonthly tablets for dogs.

Ask your vet about what is the best for your pet.

Family photographs and items can be scanned and returned to their owners. There is also a collection of oral history interviews, which have been copied from cassettes to CDs. The stories are carefully transcribed. Listening to these local voices is an enjoyable and timeconsuming job. Scanned newspaper cuttings, brochures and postcards also hold valuable historical information.

Council officers Peter Connell and Angela Marczi talk with society members.

THE Bli Bli on Maroochy Historical Society recently welcomed Sunshine Coast Council cultural heritage officers Peter Connell and Angela Marczi who discussed the council’s draft cultural heritage program for the coming year.

With the support of the only Cultural Heritage Levy in Queensland, our Sunshine Coast region has the capacity to develop regional heritage educational and tourism events.

The council’s levy has supported society members to attend training workshops on research, digitisation, conservation and creating digital stories. These heritage skills are essential for the long-term preservation and digitisation projects the society is undertaking.

The historical society cares

wide, with essential services such as counselling, special housing, medical, advocacy and social support.

Public support will also help Legacy nurture children’s education by contributing towards school fees, books, uniforms and recreational activities to aid their self-development and confidence.

There are thousands of Australian Defence Force personnel deployed over-

$115m boost in aged care facilities AUSTRALIA’S leading provider of innovative private aged care services, Season’s Aged Care, is proud to announce that construction will soon commence on stage one of its new $115 million 283unit community – Seasons Sinnamon Park.

Located in the heart of one of Brisbane’s fastest growing suburbs, leafy Sinnamon Park sits in a prime location just 14kms from the CBD and enjoys wide open spaces, parks and walking tracks, as well as access to an array of shopping, medical and transport services.

Stage one of Seasons Sinnamon Park is scheduled to be open to residents in early 2017. Valued at ap-

proximately $53 million, it includes 131 units with a choice of one, two and three bedroom, fully selfcontained apartments specifically designed and constructed to optimise delivery of clinical care and support services.

Seasons Aged Care is proudly Queensland owned and operated and Sinnamon Park will be its seventh successful aged care development. Each Season’s community boasts its own unique amenities which are based on the needs of the individual community and the location and design of the land upon which it has been built.

From beautiful lakes and walking tracks, men’s

sheds, chicken houses, bird aviaries and communal veggie gardens, there’s always something very special for residents to enjoy. Beautiful leisure facilities ensure safety and security, while cinemas, movie lounges, libraries, beauty salons and cafes all help to create that special sense of “community” which Seasons residents can access across the day.

Onsite lifestyle co-ordinators are an integral part of each Seasons community, providing an endless offering of well-being and social activities for residents to connect with others and get involved. Seasons CEO Nick Loudon said that his focus was on providing a private home

environment for each resident.

“Seasons Sinnamon Park has been designed to deliver the security, dignity, respect and choice which we all expect and that the older people in our communities have earned in building this great country of ours. While each unit will present as a private residence, it will also have been subtly integrated with state-of-the art clinical monitoring capability and emergency response systems”, Mr Loudon said.

For more information on Seasons Sinnamon Park or to register your interest contact 1300 506 116 or visit www.seasons care.com.au.

Community Jury members Help out and grab a bargain give jury concept the tick Jury’s recommendations in August, following five months’ work by the jury.

“I have expanded my idea of what organic waste management is and what it means for Noosa and I think the most important bit has been learning about other peoples’ views and incorporating that into my own view,” said Jury member Gabee.

“It doesn’t feel like it’s my view now, it feels like more of the group’s thoughts and ideas. “I’ve really enjoyed listening to what they say, I don’t agree with everything they say, which has caused some interesting discussions in the group, but I’ve really enjoyed the process.”

Jury member Jacqueline said the community jury process gave residents a say.

“Bringing everybody on board, it’s not about the council, it’s about the whole community, society and the whole Noosa Shire acting as a whole and we’ve seen that Noosa can do that with the Free Noosa campaign.

“The community can really come together.”

Barbara Garnock-Jones, left, arranged for a number of blankets, scarfs and beanies to be made from wool donated to The Edgewater Crafter’s. These were presented to Chris Morris, right, from Oceanian Oncology for their patients undergoing treatment.

NOOSA’S inaugural Community Jury members have given the Community Jury concept – a first for a Queensland council – the thumbs-up.

The 23 residents are finalising a set of recommendations on ways to reduce the 11,000 tonnes of organic waste Noosa is dumping to landfill annually.

Jury member Brian said the process distilled jurors’ vastly different views to reach a group consensus.

“Everyone came to the table and the thoughts that they had were totally different to mine, but over the process it was interesting how we’ve all narrowed that down,” he said.

Community juries provide a way for councils to gauge everyday peoples’ views rather than the views of special interest groups.

Jury members have called on leading waste management names, Council waste management staff, and residents from shires that have adopted organic waste management systems, in their quest to reach a set of recommendations.

Council will consider the

Retirees prudent in ‘super’ planning RETIREES are being prudent in the way they draw down their superannuation with a report showing most older Australians are not restructuring assets to gain access to the Age Pension.

The Productivity Commission report, Superannuation Policy for Post-Retirement, explores when and how people access their superannuation, and examines what might happen if

the age that individuals can access their superannuation — the preservation age — is raised.

The report found most retirees are prudent in the way they draw down on their superannuation and, while the use of lump sums attracts much attention, they are not problematic.

Researchers examined whether individuals altered their draw down well in ad-

vance of the Age Pension age to gain access to the payment and found little evidence that individuals were acting strategically, and instead found other factors - such as experiencing the onset of disability were the reasons why some draw down early and exhaust their superannuation savings.

Where lump sums were taken, they were most fre-

quently used to pay down debt, invest in income stream products, and purchase durable goods for use in retirement.

Less than 30 per cent of superannuation benefits were taken as lump sums, with most superannuation benefits taken as income streams.

“The current body of research suggests that the practice of restructuring as-

sets in order to gain access to the Age Pension is not widespread,” the report stated.

National Seniors chief executive Michael O’Neill said the Productivity Commission report confirmed that people in or near retirement are very much attuned to the issue of longevity.

“Having scrimped and saved all their lives, Aus-

tralians are not blowing their super lump sums on luxury holidays”.

“We accept that as the pension age rises the preservation age will inevitably, slowly, follow suit.

“But for a government to do it now - without a clear retirement income strategy or jobs for Australians in their 50s, let alone their 60s - would be ill-considered."

Don’t ignore your prostate ONE in three men over 50 have benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as an enlarged prostate; this number rises to nearly 80% of men when they reach 70.

While BPH is not fatal like prostate cancer, it can cause a lot of pain and inconvenience.

Common symptoms are frequent and painful urination and, for some cases, sexual performance is affected.

It is no wonder that we have reached epidemic pro-

portions, yet so few men talk openly about it.

According to Mr Indra, spokesman for Graminex Australia, a company that specialises in developing prostate medication, men in general do tend to be tight-lipped about their current condition.

“It’s normal for men to feel uncomfortable talking about their prostate and their symptoms (of BPH), that’s okay, we understand,” says Mr Indra, who does his best to personally answer questions from in-

dividual callers. He has spoken to many concerned wives whose husbands are reluctant to acknowledge the issue.

The key to this problem, he believes, is to slowly encourage a culture where men should not feel ashamed to talk about their medical condition, especially if it concerns their “personal equipment”.

The good news is that all this is starting to change, especially with the internet which allows men to be more discreet in search for

prostate health information.

Still, it cannot make up for face-to-face interaction, hence Graminex Australia, which introduced Magnus Shield, a new over-thecounter prostate supplement, has been working together with non-profit prostate support groups in Victoria to help bring awareness to men.

For inquiries about Magnus Shield Prostate formula, visit www.magnusprime.com for more or call 1300 760 627.

Flu cases reach record numbers KNGO Charity - Cambodia

Looking for an alternative retirement?

Life in Cambodia teaching children is a rewarding and affordable lifestyle for retirees, whether for short trips or longer term.

Khmer New Generation Organisation, near Battambang in Cambodia, is a registered Australian charity devoted to providing free supplementary education and vocational training to local children.

We do not charge volunteers for the experience and all our staff and directors work pro bono.

KNGO welcomes volunteers of all ages and all levels of teaching experience for a unique experience in Cambodia, for a couple of hours or a couple of months!

KNGO also runs programs to promote healthy and environmentally friendly practices in the

local community, and provides women with facilities to learn sewing work to supplement their income.

If you are interested in volunteering, donating, or learning more, please find us on Facebook at Khmer New Generation Organization, view our website (kngocambodia.org) or contact our engagement officer Chelsea Wallis at kngoaus@gmail.com.

RECORD numbers of Australians have been diagnosed with the flu this winter, prompting health authorities to renew warnings about vaccination.

Health Minister Sussan Ley said the latest figures showed more than 14,000 flu cases have been reported so far this year in Australia.

That compares to 9258 cases at the same time last year.

Australia’s chief medical officer Professor Chris Baggoley said people at risk — such as those aged over 65, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, pregnant women and anyone with a chronic condition — should take advantage of the free vaccine.

“People who had the flu vaccine in 2014 need to have it in 2015, particularly this year, following a rare double strain change in the vaccine,” Professor Baggoley said.

Influenza is highly contagious, spreading easily from person to person, through the air and on hands.

“We need higher uptake (of the vaccine) in vulnerable groups. Immunisation is still the best form of protection from influenza,” Professor Baggoley said.

Influenza spreads easily from person to person through infected droplets in the air and by hands.

Vaccination is the single most effective way of preventing and stopping its spread.

It is more serious than a cold, with symptoms such as fever, sore throat and muscle aches, which can develop suddenly and last about as long as a week.

Some patients can develop complications such as pneumonia and bronchitis, resulting in hospitalisation and even death.

This year, there is a rare double strain circulating,

so the vaccine has been updated to reflect this.

Importantly, the flu vaccine does not contain any live virus therefore you cannot get flu from receiving the vaccine.

The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone from six months of age but it is available free under the National Immunisation Program for people at high risk of complications. This includes people aged 65 years and over.

The flu vaccine is safe but can have minor side effects such as soreness, redness, pain and swelling at the injection site, drowsiness, tiredness, muscle aches and low grade fever.

Experts say side effects are usually mild and go away within a few days, usually without any treatment.

You should contact your doctor if you are concerned.

Museum president Clive Plater found it a fitting occasion to wear a special medal.

“The medal I am wearing was presented to my greatgrandfather, GL Bury, by the Maroochy Divisional Board to commemorate

Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897. He served on the Maroochy Divisional Board, which pre-dated the formation of the Maroochy Shire Council where he served as councillor for many years with two terms as shire chairman, 1899–1900 and 1903–1905,” he said.

Mario and Meg care about healthy hair at their organic Noosa salon IT OFTEN seems that most women with straight hair want curly hair and most women with curly hair want straight hair.

Above all, since our hair is a big part of how we present ourselves to the world, we want it to express our personality when possible.

As we age, we want the products and the way our hair is styled to be gentle, safe and ‘nutritious’.

Sunshine Coast hairdressing salon Mario Mario has earned a loyal following from locals and visitors because of an overriding devotion to safe and healthy hair styling using totally organic products and solarfiltered water.

“We like to say we are both very ecologically minded,” said Meg Agostino, whose

leaving it glossy, wonderful to the touch – and healthy.

“Mario Mario uses only filtered water at the basin for true, beautiful lasting colours and the complimentary cinnamon and patchouli deep treatment is amazing,” Meg said.

“There is no substitute for lush, healthy, shining hair.”

Mario and Meg – a former Sydney fashion clothing retailer – invite Seniors Newspaper readers to enjoy a visit to the salon in the relaxed, creative, friendly and affordable environment, and to share a cup of coffee.

The salon is located at shop 3/16 Lanyana Way, Noosa Heads, opposite Noosa Fair shopping centre.

Meg said her husband was a craftsman when it came to hairstyling.

“Craftsmanship runs in the family – Mario’s Italianborn father, a shoemaker, was the best at his craft,” she said.

Senior stylists at the Mario Mario salon also have a wealth of experience. All were trained locally or in Sydney, Melbourne or London.

Hair products are locally based (in Coolum) and are certified organic, including the EverEscents product range that is free of silicone, sulphate, paraben and formaldehyde.

New work skills key to being competitive OLDER workers must acquire new qualifications and boost their work-related skills to remain competitive in the changing workforce, a new National Seniors report shows.

A study of more than 1900 people aged over 50 found many mature age Australians were not focusing on education and training opportunities as they aged, leaving them vulnerable to unemployment.

National Seniors chief executive Michael O’Neill said the findings highlighted the importance of keeping skills and qualifications up to date.

“The changing nature of work, such as a shift to-

wards short-term project roles and advances in digital technology, means demand for strong skillsets in all occupations and sectors is growing,” O’Neill said.

“To remain competitive, it’s imperative that the over-50s are either maintaining their work skills or acquiring new qualifications.

“It is a two-way street – mature age workers need to be proactive or they run the risk of skills and competencies developed during their working life becoming devalued, especially as computer-based technologies take over the workforce.”

This study found many mature age Australians did not place great importance

on learning, education and training as they didn’t believe it contributed to their quality of life.

Forty per cent of respondents indicated they had undertaken some form of learning, education or training within the last three years.

Of those, 59% believed their current work-related skills and knowledge were very up to date.

Research shows that a 55year-old who becomes unemployed faces an average 73 weeks out of work compared to person in their 20s who would be out of work for 23 weeks.

History group hosts Open Day CALOUNDRA Family History Research Inc hosted the Trout Game, with Ann and Tony Swain from QFHS the Games Masters.

The meeting room was filled and, with heads down from 10am, the players were sustained with delicious fare as they grappled with the pitfalls of tracing the Trout family back many generations, all without the convenience of computers.

Eleven types of records were used, thereby improving basic research techniques and identifying ways around brick walls.

Guest speakers included members Paul Seto, who gave an informative talk on the 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo and June Blackburn who spoke on her personal visit and

experience researching at the LDS centre in Salt Lake City Utah.

An on-screen demonstration on the popular “Family Treemaker” genealogical program was also held.

The big news is – CFHRI will have an open day on Saturday, August 15 to celebrate National Family History Month and Sunshine Coast Seniors Week.

The resource centre will open from 9.30am to 12.30pm and visitors are welcome to see the full extent of the library and other research resources.

There will be free advice and help for seniors who are starting their family history research and a free morning tea will be supplied, thanks to sponsorship from COTA (Council of the Ageing).

Sunshine Coasters of all ages are welcome to see first hand the valuable contributions older people make to the community and to develop intergenerational connections through family history research.

The CFHRI resource centre, with plenty of parking and wheelchair access, is located at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club and is accessed through Gate 2 on Pierce Avenue.

A map is on the website at www.caloundrafamilyhistory.org.au.

For more contact Valerie 5437 3879, Roz 5493 1197, Dawn 5492 2208 or email the secretary caloundrafamilyres@y7mail.com.

The resource centre is open every Thursday and Saturday morning and visitors are welcome.

Mudjimba sporters can hone their ping pong skills as new table installed on esplanade Division 8 Councillor Jason OPray, who allocated divisional funding to construct the table, said it was the third table tennis table installed on the Sunshine Coast.

“This new table was installed following the success of two tables in Cotton Tree, which proved to be very popular,” Cr OPray said.

“People of all ages and abil-

ities love having a hit of ping pong, so no doubt this table will be in high demand once the weather warms up.

“We’ve also constructed a seating wall near the table

JPs deliver long service IF YOU have needed a Caloundra JP in the past six years, chances are you are one of 9000 locals each year who have met Ron Coffison and Len Green at Caloundra Library on a Monday.

State Member for Caloundra Mark McArdle said some might have come across the long serving JPs in any number of Queensland regional towns in the past 40–50 years.

“I was honoured to present Mr Coffison and Mr Green with distinguished service certificates for 50 years’ and 40 years’ respectively, and for donating a significant portion of their lives to helping others.

“Chatting with Ron and Len it became clear that both gentlemen take their jobs very seriously and for very good reason.

“Being a Justice of the Peace and attesting to documentation and a signature is a very important part of the legal process.

“Far from a routine rubber stamping process, Ron and Len recall clients who came up against their rigour for accuracy and lost,” Mr McArdle said.

Buderim VIEW Club aids underprivileged kids Smith Family and the funds raised are used to assist the Learning for Life program for children from underprivileged families.

If you have not been to any of our meetings, please consider coming along.

Have lunch with a friendly group of ladies and make new and lasting friendships.

Please call Sylvia at 5441 6049 to make a reservation.

For lunch bookings or cancellations, please call by 6pm on the Sunday before the lunch.

BUDERIM VIEW Club’s meetings and lunches are held on the first Wednesday of the month, at 246 Petrie Creek Road, Rosemount (Bli Bli) at 11am.

The next meeting and lunch is on Wednesday, August 5.

There are always interesting guest speakers and also a social activity on the third Wednesday of the month.

The guest speaker for the August meeting/lunch will be from The Smith Family.

All VIEW Clubs are an important part of The Ron Coffison, State Member for Caloundra, Mark McArdle and Len Green.

“JPs must sight original documents, so any number of photocopies and tantrums will not suffice,” Mr Green said.

“It is hard to understand why one client was happy to offer copies of an original yet not the actual original, as apparently it was none of my business.

“If you want a JP to sign a document attesting to the fact you were not the driver of a vehicle involved in an

accident, you must be able to declare that you are telling the truth with a Statutory Declaration,” he said.

“Lies, smokescreens and vague interpretations of the truth simply will not do and are un-lawful.”

Mr McArdle said Mr Coffison worked in local government for 46 years.

He was president of Dalby Regional Council of St Vincent de Paul Society for some years, further testi-

mony to his tireless commitment to serving others.

“Both gentlemen should be very proud of their service and the contribution they continue to make to the Sunshine Coast community,” Mr McArdle said.

“I look forward to many more years of them being at the Caloundra Library, offering help and assistance when required and I congratulate the library on this helpful initiative.”

Buderim Craft Cottage holds annual painting exhibition The Buderim Craft Cottage is a not-for-profit community organisation with many diverse craft groups, including calligraphy, pottery, silversmiths and quilt-making.

TOP DAY: Nambour Probus Bowls teams played in the Bob Martin Open Fours Competition.

Nambour Probus Club NAMBOUR Probus Club played in the annual Bob Martin Open Fours Competition held at Buderim Bowls Club on the June 29.

The club was represented by three teams, consisting of; Team 1: Martin Coleman, Dorothy Kelly, Don Welk and John Ison.

Team 2: Terry Hall, Ron Will, Lynn Hall, Stan

Shepherd 1st game), Tony Brackley (2nd game), Team 3: Jim Stewart, Gordon Green, Jean Coleman and Bill Niven.

Unfortunately the second game had to be called off after seven ends, due to the inclement weather.

The overall winner on the day was a team from Pelican Waters and the runner-up team were from the

Nambour Probus 90 club.

Terry Hall’s team had a “Round Win “and got their money back, and Jean Coleman won a bottle of port in the raffle as did Jim Stewart, and Gordon Green won a bottle of rum. As usual Buderim Bowls venue was spot on, and a good day was had by all.

Thank you to the ladies

who filled in for our club due to some of our members being unavailable to play.

The club’s guest speaker for July was Mr “Dusty” Miller DFM, who related his experiences in Bomber Command during the war.

He flew many missions over enemy territory and is now in his nineties.

Queensland Pops Orchestra: The Early Days TO quote from the introductory program notes of the Lord Mayor’s 19th Command Performance from October 10, 1985: “It is considered by experts that Colin Harper’s choice of music will fill a void in Brisbane’s cultural life and – as is evident already – will make his new orchestra a popular institution”.

This 1985 concert – the fourth ever of Brisbane’s newest professional orchestra, The Queensland Pops – took place at the recently opened Concert Hall of the Queensland Performing Arts Complex. It continued a year of history in the

making, following the QPO’s inaugural performance in the QPAC Lyric Theatre on New Year’s Eve, 1984 (which was effectively the “christening” concert of the new theatre complex, taking place several months before QPAC’s official opening in April 1985).

The Queensland Pops Orchestra is justifiably proud to be celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, so it’s timely to pause and reflect on the fledgling days of our beloved orchestra – and perhaps the elements that have contributed to its longevity. Founder conductor/music director Colin Harper believed there was a

!2/ +0-& (- #(%' 4(1# 3(%,1 *5./ 5 '/5, 10--/'/)3/ &( */1035, 0))($5&0()

need in Queensland (and particularly in Brisbane) for an orchestra able to cater for the vast middle-ofthe-road public who liked a potpourri of well-known opera arias, popular classics, sentimental old melodies, modern musicals and – as Colin once said – a little not-too-loud “pop”.

Colin guided and nurtured the orchestra to great national acclaim before his untimely passing in early 2004. He took the Pops’ hugely successful Scotland The Brave concert series to the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Concert Hall in 1999, and the fact that both were sellout performances by an orchestra

unknown to interstate audiences remains the stuff of legend.

In the early concerts, Colin Harper’s bent for production was palpable. His eye for visual effects, expert lighting and a constant stage turnaround of singers, dancers and scenestealers of all colours, shapes and sizes ensured the orchestra lived up to its premise: to entertain and enthral, in a light-hearted yet highly polished and professional way.

During the orchestra’s first full year of concerts in 1985, the Queensland Pops Orchestra fielded an average of 60 players per concert. For a time, the orches-

tra was badged “The 4BH Queensland Pops Orchestra” in recognition of that radio station’s support.

This enabled Colin Harper to headline popular local stars of the time, including Brisbane comedy cabaret band Wickety Wak and singer (and future G & S musical entrepreneur) Simon Gallaher among others.

Right from the start the Pops gave young, talented singers and instrumental artists their first big break – to perform live on stage with a full symphony orchestra. Artists from these very early concerts that have gone on to achieve both national and interna-

tional acclaim include opera singer sisters Miriam and Clare Gormley and ABC TV’s Choir Of Hard Knocks director Jonathan Welch.

By 1988, the Queensland Pops Orchestra had established itself as one of Australia’s foremost light entertainment orchestras, and that legacy continues ever strong under the enterprising and dynamic stewardship of conductor/ music director Patrick Pickett CSM. As cellist with the Pops since 1985, I have watched with pride how the orchestra has continued to evolve and prosper. Long may this great orchestra continue!

Is the world ignoring you?

As you age, have you noticed people ignore you or mumble? When they’re not mumbling, they’re yelling?

The TV volume needs to be turned up and when you dine out restaurants are noisier so you can’t enjoy a conversation?

You could be suffering the beginning of hearing loss and rather than hoping it will go away, you need to tackle the problem.

For some reason, there is a stigma attached to hearing loss. A hearing aid? Good grief! People will think you’re old! No, people are more likely to think you’re

Speak up!”

The Office of Hearing Services is a government service that provides free hearing assessments to pensioners and if you need a hearing aid, they will provide one free. All you need is a letter from your GP requesting an assessment.

The thing to do then is to contact Expert Audiology Rehab Solutions (EARS – clever, no?) in Buddina and ask Michael Williams and his staff for an assessment.

Michael will invite you to come along, preferably

with a family member, to discuss exactly why you are there and what your needs are. Having someone with you is not only good for morale, they also may have noticed little hearing problems you are unaware of.

During the first consultation, Michael will discuss exactly what your needs are, if you’re actually ready to wear a hearing aid (they’re no use shoved in a drawer at home), and what kind you need.

There is an ever-growing range of hearing aids available and if you prefer a more sophisticated device,

So, obtain your referral from you GP today and contact the friendly staff at EARS on 5452 6288 for an appointment. Then just go along to their clinic at 5/21 Nicklin Way, Buddina, to solve your hearing problems.

the Office of Hearing Services will partly fund it, as will your private health cover.

Michael is enthusiastic about the Lyric, the latest innovation in hearing aids, that goes in your ear and stays there – no having to take it out to shower or when you go to bed. It can remain there for two to three months at a time.

Whatever kind you need, the staff at EARS will make sure the assessment and provision of a hearing aid will be a friendly, reassuring process and you’ll be able to once more play a

What’s all the fuss about Greece and China? to destabilise it. On this front the threat is substantially reduced from several years ago. Other vulnerable Eurozone countries – namely Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy – are all now in much better shape than was the case when Greece triggered the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis over the 2010-12 period. Also, defence mechanisms to support troubled Eurozone countries are now much stronger than was the case in 2010-12 and investors are aware of this The Greek crisis is now nearly six years old and private exposure to Greek public debt is now very low at just 50bn euros, with 80% of Greek public debt held by the IMF, the rest of the Eurozone and the ECB. Similarly the exposure of the global banking system to Greece is now low

having fallen from $US300bn in 2008 to $US54bn last year.

In regard to China: The Chinese share market has been seeing a pull-back since around August 2009.

This made sense as Chinese shares were among the world’s cheapest and the Chinese authorities were gradually starting to ease economic policy.

Some drivers of the pull-back include regulatory measures to stabilise the market that started to bite recently at a time when shares had become overbought, after a 150% gain over 12 months and were ripe for profit taking. Also an unwinding of the leverage built into margin loans.

As the downturn accelerated, there were concerns it could destabilise the financial system and economy. So D21D27?$$

THERE has been a lot of volatility in the markets of late mainly driven by Greece and China.

In regard to Greece: The bottom line is that uncertainty around Greece is set to drag on for a while.

But while the plight of Greece is terrible there are several reasons not to be too alarmed in terms of the global implications.

First, Greece is a very small economy that has been getting even smaller. It’s just 0.25% of global GDP, it takes just 0.5% of Eurozone countries’ exports and it’s a trivial market for Australian exports. So the direct impact on the Eurozone, the global economy and Australia is virtually non-existent.

Rather the relevance comes via Greece’s membership of the Eurozone common currency and its potential

Chinese authorities took a number of measures to stabilise and support the market. These included: lower interest rates; relaxed rules around margin financing.

While the significant drop in Chinese share values is unsettling for some investors, the impact on the Chinese economy is likely to be limited. The 150% 12-month gain in Chinese shares to the high had only a small economic impact so it’s hard to see why the fall will. Second, Chinese shares are still up 90% from a year ago.

With the share market fall in China unlikely to have a major impact on Chinese economic growth, it’s hard to see a huge impact on the global or Australian economies.

Locally however with supply of commodities continuing to ramp-up, and Chinese

THE invaluable contribution to the health and wellbeing of the veteran community made by Sir Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop was commemorated in Melbourne on July 12, marking the 30th anniversary of the creation of his medical research foundation and the launch of its annual fundraising appeal.

Minister for Veteran Affairs Michael Ronaldson said he was honoured to attend the annual commemoration ceremony at the Weary Dunlop Statue in Kings Domain to acknowledge Sir Edward’s lasting legacy.

“The Sir Edward Weary Dunlop Medical Research Foundation is the result of Sir Edward’s vision and his great compassion for others,” Mr Ronaldson said.

“Thirty years on, we acknowledge his foundation’s world-class work into the vital arena of veterans’ medical research.”

The commemorative service coincided with the launch of the annual Sir Edward Dunlop Medical Research Foundation Appeal, which helps raise funds to continue the Foundation’s work.

The foundation was established in 1985 by Sir Edward, a World War Two veteran, doctor and humanitarian.

The Foundation’s work has led to new discoveries and improvements in the treatment and prevention of illnesses affecting veterans and their families.

THE Office of Fair Trading is urging consumers and businesses to “Get Smarter with Your Data”. Fair Trading acting executive director Tony Johnson said consumers and business needed to think about protecting their personal information from identity theft.

“Sadly, identity crime is now one of the most common crimes in Australia, with an estimated economic impact exceeding $1.6 billion in this country every year,” he said.

“Scammers will use your identity for all sorts of crimes. They can make unauthorised purchases on your credit card, open a bank account, take out loans and carry out other illegal business under your name.”

To minimise the risk of identity theft: Keep your personal details secure; think twice about what you say and do online; keep your mobile devices and computers secure; choose your passwords carefully; beware of any request for your details or money; and get a copy of your credit report.

You should contact your bank or credit union immediately if you think your banking details might have been compromised. You can contact IDcare, Australia and New Zealand’s national identity support service, if your identity information has been stolen. Visit www.idcare.org or call 1300 432 273.

Discover the true Latin America

LATIN America Group Tours are passionate about their beautiful part of the world and are waiting to introduce you to its many wonders.

Horacio and Stella Passeggi came to Australia 18 years ago from Uruguay in South America where he was head of Nissan and she was involved in organising tours for employees, customers and dealers who wanted to visit the Nissan factories in Mexico, Spain and Japan.

Moving across to the travel industry was a natural process, especially given their love of travel which they always organised for themselves. Nothing like experience for discovering and solving difficulties!

They love the satisfaction of giving their passengers the genuine article – helping them experience the real Latin America and revealing all its hidden gems.

Their clients don’t just visit

a country. They experience the real life there.

The Passeggis’ favourite destination is Rio de Janeiro. They love its great food, weather, friendly locals, caipirinha (Brazil’s traditional drink) and the best music. No wonder they return so often!

But Rio is just one of the fabulous places to go. Latin America Group Tours specialise in every destination from Mexico down through Central America into South America.

Their tours offer the most comprehensive value for money, authentic activities and excellent service.

Main destinations are Peru, Argentina and Brazil in South America; and Mexico, Guatemala and Cuba in North and Central America. If you have only three or four weeks, these are the places to go.

Horaccio and Stella specialise in escorted groups but people can ask them to

design their own itineraries. They often have passengers for a full or a segment of a tour who then branch out onto specific personal interests, such as wildlife, textiles, golf etc.

They pride themselves on their flexibility.

Local guides are carefully selected, especially those with indigenous ancestry.

These are the experts who can give you insights into their culture and can take you to special places, festivities and religious celebrations not covered by the conventional tourist trade.

Customers claim it’s like going on your own with the advantage of having someone with you who knows the language and culture: issues are resolved and all the planning is done.

Contact Horacio and Stella on 5492 5374 or visit their website: www.latinamericagrouptours.com.

You can say hello at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo.

It’s a common Queensland saying but beyond the black stump is … where exactly?

By Colleen Povall TO MOST folk the phrase “beyond the black stump” is just a vague indication of somewhere outback.

But to the residents of Central Queensland’s Blackall it is a very defi-

nite place – it’s all the country to the west of their town.

In 1887 the original Astro Station, where the town now lies, was chosen by the Surveyor General for the purpose of survey, based on the principal meridional circuit traverse

around the town of Blackall.

The circuit was 27 miles square and contained an area of 729 square miles.

The surveyors used a handy stump to rest their theodolites on, big heavy brass objects that would have trouble balancing on

the standard modern legs.

This enabled them to fix the position of prime towns extending from Brisbane to Boulia via Roma, Charleville and Blackall.

This also established the points of important centres with which the

survey work of the whole colony could be connected and enabled the mapping of Queensland on a more accurate basis.

So beyond the black stump?

That’s definitely anywhere west of Blackall.

Visitors to the outback

town can still find the location of the Black Stump, tucked away behind the state school.

The actual stump is no longer there having been burnt out but locals have replaced it with a stump of petrified wood, guaranteed fire-proof.

Easy tours? Stonestreets!

ROAM: Holland with Stonestreets Coaches and Travel.

STONESTREETS Coaches and Travel has been escorting small group tours throughout Australia since 1993.

During this time they have built a huge following of happy travellers and contributed to the creation of many wonderful memories.

There isn’t a corner of Australia that a Stonestreets tour hasn’t seen – from bitumen freeways to not so smooth roads such as the Gunbarrel Track!

Recently, at the suggestion of their Travel Club members, Stonestreets decided to explore the possibility of widening their speciality of personally escorted tours

to overseas destinations.

After much planning, Stonestreets Travel took its first Small Group International tour to the USA. That tour proved to be so popular that Stonestreets then arranged a tour through Europe culminating with a cruise on the River Rhine.

The first European tour sold out within weeks so a second sell out tour was arranged.

Following the successful introduction of Stonestreets Small Group International Travel, the Stonestreet family appointed a dedicated international tour co-ordinator, Sue

McPherson. Sue has a wealth of experience with international travel and many contacts in the industry.

One of these contacts was a company called Made Easy Tours, another company specialising in small group international tours.

With the owner of Made Easy Tours wishing to retire and Stonestreets Travel entering a new phase of international touring, the Stonestreet Family decided to purchase Made Easy Tours, creating Stonestreets – Made Easy Tours.

Since the amalgamation, Sue has been very busy planning small group tours

to many exotic international destinations: Vietnam, Africa, European battlefields, Canada and the USA just to name a few.

She can also plan and book international travel for individuals to any destination.

Stonestreets is now set to release the next edition of their Destinations booklet, packed full of fantastic escorted holiday tours throughout Australia and the world. Give Stonestreets – Made Easy Tours a call today on 1800 673 337 for your free copy and you will soon discover Tours, Made Easy with Stonestreets.

Iceland offers cool welcome but time your visit to the loo ONE of the coldest countries I have visited recently is Iceland.

We hired a car and spent six days circumnavigating the island during May when the average temperature for Rekjavik is between 7 and 11 degrees Celsius.

The long term average warmest day of the year is 26 July at 14 degrees!

Our warmest day was 13C and the locals were sitting outside in shorts and tshirts enjoying the “heat”.

I was still wearing thermal underwear, merino jumper plus a beanie and thick

jacket.

This photograph, inset below, was taken in a park near Reykjavik.

Note: this toilet only opens from May 15 to October 15.

I wasn’t sure about the emergency number – could I ring if I needed the toilet outside those times?

The Icelanders are a very friendly lot and their country is well worth visiting, despite the weather.

Just make sure you know which toilets are open and when!

Check out the Sunshine Coast’s stunning wild side NATURE is putting on its annual display of wildflowers and we’re celebrating.

The Sunshine Coast Wildflower Festival is on from August 18–30, with 18 events including guided walks, activities and art exhibitions.

Sunshine Coast residents and visitors are invited to explore the region’s natural beauty and take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about our natural environment, so come and explore the exquisite range of native flowering plants our local ecosystems support.

Environment portfolio councillor Jenny McKay said wildflowers typically only grew in wallum heathland.

“Here on the Sunshine Coast, we have 15 examples of wallum heathland, mak-

ing this one of the few places in the world to experience this sensory display on such a scale,” Cr McKay said.

“The proximity to the ocean has always been a challenge to this ecosystem.

“Our Biodiversity Strategy shows that 63% of our local wallum heath has been lost to development since European settlement.

“This highlights the importance of understanding our local environment.”

The festival will feature activities for all ages and interests including lino printing and printmaking, wildflower walks and art exhibitions.

Bookings are now open and residents can view a full program on council’s website. Go to sunshine coast.qld.gov.au.

OUR Orchid Show is on Friday, August 7, 9am–4pm and Saturday, August 8, 9am–3pm. Presentations are on Saturday at 3pm.

Plants for sale, raffles, potting demonstrations at 10.30am Friday and Saturday.

Light refreshments available. Entry is $3.

At Millwell Road Community Centre, Millwell Road East, Maroochydore (behind Sunshine Plaza Myer car park).

Contact Kathy Howatson on 5448 4450, Del Whittaker on 5476 5305 or email: maroochyorchid1@ optusnet.com.au.

Petrie Park Pottery OUR group meets every Thursday at 9.30am at the corner of Price St and Petrie Park Rd, Nambour.

THE Australian and International premieres of the Gallipoli Symphony, a musical and visual journey which tells the story of the 1915 Gallipoli Campaign, have been announced by the Australian Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Senator the Hon Michael Ronaldson.

Senator Ronaldson said the international premiere will be performed by the Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra at the historic Hagia Irene in Istanbul on August 4 with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra to perform the Australian premiere in Brisbane on November 24 this year.

“I am pleased we have been able to work closely with the Turkish Government and the Queensland Government to bring this unique experience to Australian and Turkish audiences,” he said.

“Since being commissioned by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs in 2006, 11 composers from Australia, New Zealand and Turkey have worked over the course of a decade to compose the individual movements that comprise the symphony.

“Each year, one of the movements has been performed for visitors to the Gallipoli Anzac Day service. These premiere events

will be the first time the individual movements have been performed together as the complete symphony,” the Senator said.

Queensland Premier and Arts Minister Annastacia Palaszczuk said, “We will be proud to host the Australian premiere of the Gallipoli Symphony at the Queensland Performing

The symphony has received generous support from the Turkish and New Zealand governments, the Queensland Government, Qantas Airways and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

The premieres in August and November will be the first time the symphony has been performed in full.

Arts Centre in Brisbane. I applaud the hard work of all involved in bringing this moment of historical significance to life.”

Tickets to the Australian performance will be on sale through the Queensland Performing Arts Centre and ABC Classical FM will broadcast the performance here.
