FEATURE STORY Western Property

MODERN HOMES ARE ALL ABOUT ACOUSTICS A

s residential design continues to evolve, modern house styles remain a favourite among Australians, celebrated for their open-plan layouts, light-filled spaces, and contemporary sleek finishes. But while these design elements deliver visual appeal, they can unintentionally create acoustic challenges, with echoes and reverberation diminishing

comfort and calm and affecting daily life. Research shows that ongoing exposure to household noise can significantly impact wellbeing, focus, and stress levels. An innovation by building products brand CSR Woven Image, has just launched offering a way to manage household noise while elevating a home’s style. Soundstyle, is a new range of decorative wall panels, designed and manufactured in Australia from 100 per cent PET (60 per cent post-consumer recycled), giving new life to recycled materials. Designed to reduce echo and control sound, the panels offer a stylish, and environmentally responsible solution for noise control in modern homes, making open-plan areas feel more peaceful, even when the household is busy. “Acoustic performance isn’t always front of mind for homeowners, as people naturally focus on layout and aesthetics,” said Renee McGinty, General Manager Marketing, CSR.

“Soundstyle bridges the gap between the two, offering panels that not only enhance acoustic comfort but also elevate interiors. Available in three contemporary designs and eight neutral colourways, each panel is engineered to manage how sound travels and is absorbed within a room, creating calm, well-balanced environments, particularly in high-use living areas.”

“SOUNDSTYLE ADDS VISUAL INTEREST AND TACTILITY TO WALLS“

Apart from managing household noise and reducing echo and unwanted noise by 21 per cent, Soundstyle wall panels can visually transform a room, offering clean lines and a refined finish across living rooms, bedrooms, offices and media zones. The large format panels

are lightweight and easy to install, making it easy to create a wall feature without major disruption, and with a range of designs and colours to suit many interior styles. Colour and texture are just as integral to the design of Soundstyle as its acoustic performance. The collection’s neutral palette offers versatility and a sanctuary-like feel in the home, while the textured surface of the three panel designs, Arches, Lines and Wisp, adds visual interest and contributes to a sense of comfort. Featured tones include Pearl, Cashmere, Cloud, Chiffon, Clay, Juniper, Storm and Obsidian, each bringing its own warmth, grounding and sophistication to interior spaces. “From a design-led perspective, Soundstyle adds visual interest and tactility to walls,” McGinty said. Soundstyle is Sensitive Choice accredited. For more information and to explore the full range, visit https://soundstyle.wovenimage. com.

TESTIMONIAL GREAT EXPERIENCE, GREAT RESULT!

“

I had an excellent experience working with Gizzelle on the recent sale of my property. From the outset, she was enthusiastic, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible result. Despite the property being tenanted at the time, Gizzelle handled all communication with care and professionalism, ensuring the process ran smoothly for everyone involved. Her approach stood out from other agents I met - her appraisal was slightly higher, her fees were more competitive, and she came across as honest, personable, and confident. Within the first open home, we received an offer above expectations and successfully signed that same weekend. The entire process exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I highly recommend Gizzelle to anyone looking for a dedicated and results-driven agent. – L T (Seller)

THE LOWDOWN ON BUNIONS

A

poorly fitting shoes. In some cases, a callus may even develop over the bump due to pressure. Certain footwear can make bunions worse or more uncomfortable, shoes with a narrow or pointed toe box, shoes that are too small, or high heels can all increase pressure on the joint. So, what can you do if you have a bunion? Choosing

Bunions can vary in severity, and podiatrists often classify them based on how far the toe has shifted. But why do they form? The causes can be varied: genetics, arthritis, previous injuries, long periods of joint stress from activity, individual foot shape, or

While a podiatrist can’t “fix” a bunion without surgery, we can help manage symptoms and slow down joint deterioration. Surgery is usually reserved for severe cases where pain affects everyday mobility, not for cosmetic reasons alone. The good news? With the right care and a few lifestyle adjustments, many people can manage their bunions comfortably and often avoid invasive treatment. Simple changes in footwear, support, and foot care can make a big difference in day-to-day comfort and mobility.

lack Friday is on November 28, and Cyber Monday is on December 1. These dates make up Cyber Weekend, but many stores start their sales in late October or early November. Early deals have become the norm. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are now Australia’s most significant shopping events, surpassing Boxing Day. Over 67 per cent of Australians plan to finish most of their Christmas shopping before December, making this period critical for scoring deals.

Smart shopping tips • Many deals go live up to a couple of weeks early. • Compare prices across multiple retailers and use cashback platforms like ShopBack. • Read terms: Understand delivery fees, return policies, and warranty coverage. • Look for bonus offers like gift cards or bundles. • Set a budget and stick to it. • Use secure payment methods and avoid unknown sellers. • Use deal sites for any coupon codes. Scam awareness: Scammers have become more advanced in 2025, using AI to create fake websites, phishing emails, and social media ads. Instead of clicking on links in emails or ads, go straight to the retailer’s official website. Be careful with fake order confirmations and deals that seem too good to be true. Always check website addresses and use secure payment options.

SWIM SAFETY The Experts

WHAT TO EXPECT AT SWIMMING LESSONS I

n last week’s column I wrote with a heavy heart about the fact that we have recorded the highest number of drowning deaths since records began over the past 12 months. One of the major ways we can combat these figures is to ensure everyone learns to swim, at all ages, but sometimes fear of the unknown can hold us back. I am often asked what to expect as someone begins swimming lessons? For the majority of students, regardless of age and lesson plan, lessons focus both on initial swimming skills and basic water acclimatisation and safety, like floating and blowing bubbles, while also building comfort and trust with the instructor and creating positive associations with the water. Progress will be gradual and individual, depending on a range of factors like possible fear of water, physical coordination and consistency, which is absolutely crucial to learning any new skill. Lessons will over time progress to teaching

JULIE SHELDRAKE Nepean Aquatic Centre & Eva Bory’s Swim School 4730 8900

specific skills like kicks, strokes, and breathing techniques, with a long-term goal of water safety and improved physical and mental health. There is no set timeline for learning, as progress depends on individual comfort levels and abilities and students must be allowed to progress at their own pace. Patience is important, as is the practise and reinforcement of

key skills learnt at home, perhaps in the bath for our smallest students (closely supervised of course), or in a public pool for older children and adults (with a lifeguard on duty for safety). It is important to realise that young children may be upset in the first lesson, and even for several weeks, but this is not a reason to abandon swimming lessons! This is absolutely normal, as swimming lessons are often the first time a child engages in a structured activity outside of the home, and it can take more than one lesson for a child to build trust and comfort with the instructor. I speak from experience and understand that as a parent it is very difficult to watch the child not enjoying every moment of their lesson from the very beginning, but perseverance is key to the child learning a life skill that could actually save their life. The level of comfort I know I feel sending my children off to camps and pool parties knowing that they can swim far outweighs

any momentary discomfort in those early days! You can do many things at home to offset any resistance, such as speaking positively at home about swimming lessons, encouraging excitement and enthusiasm, and by modelling calm and confidence yourself around the water. If you don’t know how to swim – please learn and model water safety and confidence to your children. My children knew from a very young age that learning to swim was a non negotiable priority in their week, and would remain so until they were competent and had reached all recommended safety milestones. The 2024 RLS National Drowning Report revealed the risk of drowning increases tenfold for youth and young adults aged 10-20 because of a clear decline in swimming, water safety, and lifesaving skills and an increase in risk-taking activities in this age group. Tenfold! That is a statistic I find truly frightening. Until next week, stay safer!

PET HEALTH The Experts

BEWARE OF SNAKES: PROTECTING OUR PETS A

KELLIE TICKNER Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital 4736 2027

s the warm weather takes hold, snake sightings across the Penrith region have become a common occurrence. At Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital, we’ve already seen a noticeable increase in pets being brought in after snake encounters. This seasonal rise in snake activity isn’t unusual, but it’s an important reminder for pet owners to stay alert during the warmer months when snakes are most active. Snakes are generally shy and prefer to avoid contact with humans and animals. Unfortunately, our curious pets often initiate interaction, and that’s when accidents happen. Dogs, with their playful and inquisitive nature, are more commonly bitten, but cats – especially those with strong hunting instincts – are also at significant risk. In the Penrith area, the two most common venomous snakes are the eastern brown snake and the red-bellied black snake. Both species can be deadly to pets.

Brown snake venom primarily affects the nervous system, often causing collapse, muscle tremors, weakness, or difficulty breathing. Red-bellied black snake venom tends to destroy red blood cells, leading to anaemia,

veterinary care is crucial. The sooner your pet receives treatment, the greater their chance of survival. Try to keep your pet calm and as still as possible, as movement can cause the venom to circulate more rapidly through

dark or discoloured urine, and weakness. While each species has a different toxin profile, both can produce a range of symptoms, and untreated bites can quickly become fatal. If you suspect your pet has been bitten by a snake, immediate

the body. Avoid touching the bite site, and if you must handle your pet, wear gloves to reduce the risk of venom contacting your skin. Common symptoms of a snake bite include dilated pupils, trembling, drooling, pale gums, vomiting, and sudden collapse.

Some animals may collapse soon after being bitten, appear to recover, and then deteriorate hours later. Even if you’re unsure whether your pet has been bitten, it’s always safer to have them examined immediately – early intervention can make all the difference. Treatment usually involves administering antivenom, which is very expensive and may require hospitalisation, intravenous fluids, and close monitoring. When the snake species is unknown, combination antivenoms can be used. Despite treatment, complications such as kidney failure and immune-mediated disease can occur, and sadly, some animals do not survive. If your pet has been near or has “played” with a snake, don’t wait for signs to appear – seek veterinary attention right away. For more information or emergency assistance, contact Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital on 4736 2027.

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

Uranus opposes Mercury and the Sun, which suggests a house move, family drama, uninvited guests dropping in or another kind of domestic disruption. And some Aquarians will experience changes at work. Whatever happens, strive to get the balance right between your public life and your private responsibilities. The planets also push you to reinvent a professional relationship. Just be careful you don’t get carried away and throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Are your aspirations for the future ambitious enough? The New Moon favours ruminating over big-picture ideas. And there’s no room for false modesty or passive Piscean procrastination as you enjoy talking, texting, posting, promoting, socialising and circulating. The terrific Sun/Neptune trine encourages you to come up with a creative plan and then pursue it. But an unwelcome surprise could unsettle you, so hold tight and expect the unexpected!

Monday’s Sun/Jupiter trine is fabulous for family catchups and DIY projects. But the New Moon (on Thursday) and the retro Mercury/Uranus and Sun/Uranus oppositions stir up your money zones. So financial surprises and dramas are likely unless you find a more sustainable way to manage cash flow. Extra work, less spending and more saving may be required. The weekend is wonderful for re-reading your favourite book or rewatching your favourite movie.

Bulls prefer to plod along in a methodical fashion but this week, you could experience challenges and disruptions! The Sun and retrograde Mercury oppose Uranus (in your sign) so life could be stressful and unpredictable. If you prioritise tasks and are mentally flexible, then you’ll handle the hurly-burly with less stress and strain. Close relationships are also in a state of New Moon flux. The more adaptable you are, the better the final outcome will be.

With Mercury (your ruling planet) in retrograde mode (until November 30) you may feel anxious as your daily routine is disrupted in some way. Or your enthusiasm for a work project could overtake your ability to knuckle down and get the job done. If you promise more than you can deliver, then other people will just end up feeling disappointed. So slow down and listen to the wisdom of your inner voice. It will point you in the direction that’s right for you.

This week a child, teenager, friend or lover could shock you by making a surprise move or a group project could suddenly veer off in an unexpected direction. If you keep your adaptability muscles well-flexed, then you’ll adjust to the constantly changing landscape accordingly. With peace planet Venus visiting your friendship zone, stop sulking and stewing over a perceived slight from a colleague or friend. It’s time to cooperate, compromise and sympathise!

Leos love to be the Top Cat but this week you need to ask yourself, “Am I leading others or just bossing them around?” If you power ahead without considering other people, then you’ll create unnecessary drama and disruption. So do your very best to accommodate the needs of those around you. Thursday’s New Moon activates your home zone so it’s a wonderful time to play gracious host or hostess, reconcile with a relative or start a creative DIY project.

When it comes to the way you think, blast out of a boring rut and jump into an exciting new phase. Use your imagination and think outside the box as the Sun, New Moon, Mercury and Venus activate your communication zone. So stop avoiding issues and start discussing what you really want and need. But remember your ruler Mercury is retrograde, so do your best to communicate clearly. You can’t expect other people to magically read your mind!

Thursday’s New Moon illuminates your financial and self-esteem zone, so it’s a good time to celebrate the authentic you and embrace your so-called flaws. And some indulgent self-pampering (like an aromatherapy facial or a fullbody massage) will increase relaxation and boost confidence. The Uranus oppositions and New Moon also highlight the importance of having a realistic budget, a smart savings plan and a well-stocked emergency fund.

OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20

This week the Sun, New Moon, Venus and retrograde Mercury are transiting through your sign. And the Mercury/ Uranus and Sun/Uranus oppositions could disrupt relationships and rattle your resilience. But it’s time to bounce back, as you demonstrate (and celebrate) your strengths – including courage and persistence. Your motto is from Scorpio actress Julia Roberts, “I’m better for all the things that have happened to me, the good and the bad.”

Sagittarians can be feisty folk, but don’t allow yourself to be drawn into an intense argument. It would be better to watch from the sidelines. With the New Moon in your privacy zone, life will also run more smoothly if you incorporate a spiritual ritual into your daily routine. Something like yoga, tai chi, chanting, meditation or contemplation. After some quality ‘me-time’ and soulful reflection, you’ll start to see things from a refreshing new perspective.

With the New Moon, Venus and retro Mercury visiting your hopes and wishes zone, it’s important to have ambitious long-term goals that you’re working towards. You’ll have to be patient though, as you focus on bringing your dreams down to earth via a practical plan. Then – when everything is in place – you’ll know the perfect time to pounce. Your motto for the week is from birthday great, actress Goldie Hawn, “The key is to figure out what you want out of life.”

How to beat Str8ts – Like Sudoku, no single number can repeat in any row or column. But... rows and columns are divided by black squares into compartments. These need to be filled in with numbers that complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to The solutions will be published here in the next issue. see how ‘straights’ are formed.
