This week...

From the editor Touted as “Australia’s biggest celebration of spring”, Floriade kicks off this Saturday 14 September. Will you be visiting it this year, or venturing to NightFest?

I confess to being a Floriade tragic.

Since the first official one bloomed in Commonwealth Park in 1988, I’ve tiptoed through the tulips every year that I’ve lived in Canberra (the exceptions being 20052007 while residing in Adelaide).

The riot of colour, the crowds and the carnival atmosphere epitomise my experience of spring in our cool climate capital; a sense of emerging from hibernation, peeling off the layers of winter and embracing the new season’s vitality. What’s not to love!

Flip to our cover story on page 49 to find out more about NightFest; for details of Floriade events and activities, visit floriadeaustralia.com Reasons to be grateful this past week include scintillating live music at the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s Celebrating Mozart concert, catching up with friends at a launch event for the upcoming Murrumbateman Moving Feast on the October long weekend, sharing a complimentary Detroit style pizza with a friend at Grease Monkey in Braddon, a hilarious and touching one-woman show, My Brilliant Divorce, at The Q in Queanbeyan, a spot of lunch and retail therapy with a friend, watching my sons play in the Reclink Canberra Community Cup on Sunday afternoon, and restorative yoga classes.

news London Circuit to be raised for light rail stage 2A

Artist’s impression showing the southern end of London Circuit raised to intersect with Commonwealth Avenue for light rail stage 2A. Image supplied: ACT Government.

Work to extend the light rail network towards Woden is expected to begin as early as next year after the ACT Government formally approved the business case for light rail stage 2A from Alinga Street station to Commonwealth Park.

Announced on Tuesday 10 September, the stage 2A extension of the current network is 1.7km in length and will add three new

stops at City West, City South and Commonwealth Park, and four new light rail vehicles.

The Government will also be raising London Circuit – providing a new southern gateway for the CBD. In a statement, the Government said connecting London Circuit at the same level as Commonwealth Avenue would enable significantly better walking, cycling and public

transport links between the CBD and the Acton Waterfront.

This linking project was first foreshadowed in the City to the Lake plan.

The Public Transport Association of Canberra welcomed the announcement, as did the ACT Greens with leader Shane Rattenbury keen to see the network grow.

“We don’t want to see any delays; the Greens want light rail to reach Woden as soon as possible to bring great public transport and all the quality urban renewal opportunities that come with it,” he said.

Master Builders ACT CEO Michael Hopkins was also positive about the decision: “Major projects such as light rail have the potential to create jobs, support local industry and grow the ACT economy.”

“The MBA has recently written to Infrastructure Australia requesting that light rail stage 2A be supported as a priority infrastructure project,” Mr Hopkins said.

“Today’s (10 September) announcement should demonstrate

to the Federal Government that the ACT is laying the groundwork for a long-term infrastructure plan, and be a starting point for encouraging more federal infrastructure funding for the Territory.”

However, Shadow Transport Minister Candice Burch suggested Canberrans “are still in the dark about how much this is going to cost and whether this is the best route option”.

ACT Minister for Transport Chris Steel said that the release of the stage 2A business case marks the start of contract negotiations with Canberra Metro to deliver the project.

“By beginning work on stage 2A, we are keeping the knowledge and skills from the successful delivery of stage 1 in Canberra while we continue to work on the approvals through the Parliamentary Triangle to Woden.”

The ACT Government aims to start stage 2B, linking Commonwealth Park to the Woden Town Centre, once these approvals have been granted.

ANU to launch cutting-edge space facility Australia and the world will soon be able to access massive amounts of locked away data captured in space at incredibly fast speeds, thanks to a new specialist facility at The Australian National University (ANU).

ANU will build Australia’s first Quantum Optical Ground Station for Mt Stromlo Observatory to communicate with spacecraft, with $800,000 funding from the ACT Government.

The station will help researchers and industry better access unused data about our Universe as well as enable better monitoring of our own planet.

The project, which also 10

includes a new telescope, is worth up to $2.4 million in total.

Project lead, Dr Francis Bennet from the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, said the new station will develop technologies that enable licencefree and secure high-bandwidth data transmission to and from space.

“Most of the data we capture from satellites and instruments in space never finds its way back down to Earth,” Dr Bennet said.

“The on-board processing in these machines means we are often left in the dark about our own planet, as well as the mysteries of the Universe.

“For example, the Keppler

space telescope launched by NASA to discover Earth-sized planets was only able to transmit 1% of the data it captured back home. That means we missed out on 99% of what was found.”

The station will also develop technology that could one day replace the undersea fibre optical cables global telecommunications are currently reliant on.

The ANU station will be the first in an Australian network of optical ground stations, with partners in Western Australia, South Australia and New Zealand.

ANU Provost Professor Mike Calford says this region is ideally located for the new station.

“Canberra enjoys exceptional natural conditions for this type of work. And it is backed by the world-leading and globally recognised space research and development taking place each day at ANU,” he said.

“This new station will help position Australia and the ACT as one of the world’s leading centres in the burgeoning field of quantum space communications, and boost the nation’s space efforts.

“And it will help launch Australia’s space communications capacity, allowing us to tap into multi-billion space communications markets across the globe.”

capital hill Testing times To cheers of “More! More!” from the party faithful at last weekend’s Liberal Party State Council in Sydney, the Prime Minister said he “liked to set them tests when we come back to parliament”. “Them”, of course, are his political opponents, the Labor Party. The tests Scott Morrison is setting come under the heading of “compassionate conservatism”; that’s how he defines his attitude to welfare payments.

Of course Labor, or the Greens and the crossbench in the Senate wouldn’t see the government was testing them if indeed what was being bowled up was “compassionate”.

For students of politics, the phrase sets the bells ringing. Former British Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair is on the record saying “the only difference between compassionate conservatism and conservatism is that under compassionate conservatism they tell you they’re not going to help you but they’re sorry about it”. Except, if the Prime Minister’s weekend speech is any guide, he’s not apologising.

Morrison has the view that the best way to get people off welfare is to starve them off

12

it. His Finance Minister, Mathias Cormann, is just as adamant that the pitifully low Newstart unemployment allowance is not meant to be something anyone lives on but merely some pocket money between jobs.

But what we are seeing this week is an argument over compulsorily drug testing anyone on welfare. The demonisation is complete. If you haven’t got a job or can’t look after your family, you are clearly a drug addicted dropout; except the statistics do not support this view. Labor Leader Anthony Albanese is signalling he is not about to take the bait of Morrison’s “tests” without an argument.

Albanese says new figures show “a significant increase in number of over 55-year-olds who are on Newstart”. He asks ‘are we really going to start drug testing those over 55?’ Well, yes.

Morrison says age is increasingly no longer the barrier it was to getting a job and he cites Australia’s biggest hardware chain, Bunnings, as an example of a “non-ageist” employer.

The other test set for the non-government parties this sitting fortnight of the parliament

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

is extending the cashless welfare card. This has been trialled particularly among Aboriginal communities in Western Australia and the Northern Territory and Morrison claims great success in getting recipients off the booze and drugs because their cards won’t pay for them.

But the St Vincent de Paul Society says the implementation of the card has been “extremely costly”. The set-up costs are estimated to be over $10,000 per person. Again, Albanese says there is no evidence the cards have made “any significant improvements, importantly in jobs”.

The other test for Labor is the mandatory sentencing for sex offenders. Mandatory sentencing is beloved of law and order crusaders.

One of its major drawbacks is that it can lead to fewer convictions with the accused reluctant to plead guilty upfront.

Less party politics and more public interest would be a welcome development.

news Developer fined over worksite fall Property development company Nikias Diamond Property Development has been fined $180,000 and had a conviction recorded over a 2016 worksite accident, where a 16-year-old student fell from a height of six metres.

The student, who was undertaking a school/workbased experience program, sustained “significant injuries” after falling from a ladder into an open void on a worksite in Amaroo in October 2016.

ACT Work Safety Commissioner Greg Jones said WorkSafe ACT was “disappointed” by the penalty, and said the particular breach of duty carried a maximum penalty of $1.5 million.

“The worker involved in this incident has suffered significant

and life-changing injuries.

Noting that this incident could have quite easily been fatal, WorkSafe expected a greater penalty in recognition of this and to provide a strong deterrence for industry,” he said.

Two sub-contracted companies who also held health and safety duties at the site at the time have already entered into enforceable undertakings worth $132,000 each with WorkSafe ACT. Mr Jones said falls from heights are one of the greatest risks for death and significant injury in the construction sector.

Monday’s sentencing comes as WorkSafe ACT investigates a construction site in Dickson after a worker fell from a height of 10 metres on Friday 6 September.

Road toll rises ACT Policing is investigating a fatal collision on the Monaro Highway near Royalla which occurred on Tuesday 3 September.

About 9.30am, police responded to reports of a two vehicle collision approximately 5km south of the intersection with Johnson Drive. The driver

of one of the vehicles died at the scene. This is the fourth death on ACT roads in 2019.

ACT Policing’s Collision Investigation and Reconstruction Team (CIRT) is examining the circumstances surrounding the collision and a report will be prepared for the Coroner.

Ice sports facility progress A new ice sports facility is a step closer with the ACT Government seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from suitably qualified and experienced parties to design, construct, own, operate and maintain a centre.

The EOI requirements have been developed to facilitate the delivery of a new ice sports facility to meet the needs of the community (including local ice sporting groups) while also considering the ongoing commercial viability through a range of uses including competitions, events and recreational use.

ACT Ice Sports Federation 14

president Tony Prescott welcomed the announcement.

“This is as a giant leap forward for the future of ice sports in the ACT, and we will continue to partner with the government and the private sector to realise the ice sports community’s vision of having a major ice sports centre in the nation’s capital.”

The ACT Government will consider providing a financial contribution to support the establishment of a new ice sports facility but does not intend to own or be the primary funding source for the development and its ongoing operation. The EOI is available at tenders.act.gov.au

Seventeen inspiring women were recognised for their contributions to the local community at the 2019 Lifeline Canberra Women of Spirit Awards on Wednesday 4 September.

The awards recognise women who have faced adversity and have found within them the strength to not just persevere, but also to give others a helping hand.

The Rising Women of Spirit Award was presented to Bonnie Carter, an advocate for infant loss awareness.

Mrs Carter became a mother for the first time in 2016 to Grace, stillborn at 19 weeks, and in 2017 birthed Matilda, stillborn at 23 weeks. She has also suffered two miscarriages.

According to her citation, Mrs Carter fundraised and refurbished the Canberra Hospital Fetal Medicine Unit Bereavement Suite “to ensure others receiving sad news could do so in a room of warmth and love”. She also appeared before the 2018 Senate Enquiry into Stillbirth Research and Education, as well as being involved in numerous community fundraising efforts.

Mrs Carter accepted her award on behalf of bereaved parents and for her daughters.

“It is a living nightmare leaving the hospital with empty arms, returning to a beautiful but empty nursery, planning a funeral rather

than a Christening,” she said.

“With awareness comes change and with change comes hope.”

The Women of Spirit Award went to Joan Andersson, who described her background as “colourful and unique”.

“I never knew events like this existed … and I never stopped to think I’d be named for something like this,” she said.

Ms Andersson grew up within Children of God – a cult known for exploitation of children – and was taken into state care at age 12. She has been impacted by substance abuse, domestic violence, mental illness and more.

Five months ago, Ms Andersson started Women Get It Done, a social enterprise that gives women coming out of custody, domestic violence and other adversity the opportunity to contribute to society with opportunities for training, employment and other supports.

The Honourable Julie Bishop was guest speaker for the event and imparted some wisdom to guests including: don’t ever let others define who you are and what you can achieve; set your own high standards; back your intuition and judgement; take calculated risks and be aware of the consequences; mentoring works; and find joy in your life.

Looking to jazz up those daily ‘briefings’ or weekly ‘catch-ups’ (see also: meetings)?

If you Google ‘unique meeting ideas’, you’ll be met with a range of suggestions, from the usual – keep meetings under 15 minutes, hold ‘stand-up’ meetings, give each person a chance to lead – to the more extreme: have the person who unnecessarily prolongs a meeting ‘drop and give you 20’ (terrifying), donate to charity every time a meeting is interrupted (less terrifying) or have the team do some exercise together before getting down to business (again, terrifying).

Meetings are fast becoming a contentious issue in the workplace – the debate over their efficiency has spawned many an internet think-piece – and organisations are rapidly trying to increase employee engagement in meetings, thereby increasing productivity and overall work satisfaction.

The Canberra Weekly editorial team took the chance to try out consulting firm Synergy Group’s latest meeting disruptor: the ‘Another Meeting’ VW Kombi van. Synergy’s own national client research found that ACT office workers are among the most likely in the country to view meetings as a negative, with public servants the most likely group to criticise meetings, describing them as “boring”, a “waste of time” and “unproductive”.

The van, a restored Kombi complete with a coffee machine

and a beer tap, can be booked by any Synergy employee for their meetings across Canberra, with consultants in a range of offices across the city, including a host of Federal Government departments.

“As office workers, most of us spend countless hours stuck in the ‘bored-room’ – and as a result, meetings can be unproductive and often kill creativity,” says Synergy’s Creative Director, Jason Perelson.

“By simply approaching meetings in a different way, we’re able to engage with our clients and staff more collaboratively and more creatively. This, in turn, leads to better working relationships.”

He says meetings should be a space for engagement, collaboration and sharing, the most creative part of the day, but are currently viewed as something “dull and unproductive”.

“Another Meeting provides a fresh alternative that allows people to experience work in a much more engaging way.”

Something as simple as a meeting location swap can make a difference, and was a positive experience for the Canberra Weekly team. Getting out into the fresh air was a pleasant change from our usual boardroom meetings, and it was certainly better than being made to ‘drop and give you 20’.

Transitioning to a life post-rugby and dealing with a terminal illness in the family, former Brumbies player Ben Alexander says running helped him through tough times.

“Retiring from anything is a big transition in life. For an athlete, we face that earlier in life and finding your next career is a tough time,” he says.

Adding to the challenge, Ben was also dealing with his beloved grandmother’s terminal illness and passing: “Losing a loved one is about as hard as it gets.”

Ben says his grandmother had plenty of advice to pass on and her message to him was simply to “quit while I was ahead with rugby”.

“If Grandma had her way, I would never have played at all,” Ben says, adding he had the opportunity to tell her he had retired, which earned the response “I think that’s wise”.

Co-owner of The Dock in Kingston, Ben also dabbles in app development, which he describes as “more of a hobby”, and stays active through parkrun. His local event is at Burley Griffin, and he completed his 50th parkrun event on 31 August in a personal best time.

Ben attended his first event not long after he retired last year, encouraged by a friend to participate and “was hooked”.

“The best way to describe it is like a school cross country event every Saturday. You have volunteers organising the start line and making sure every one arrives back in one piece,” he says.

“It was a lot of fun. Me and a group of friends rotate around Canberra. We try and mix it up so we don’t do the same course each week.”

While Ben welcomes the hit of endorphins from running, he says the social aspect is just as important and regularly catches up with his mates for “a feed and a coffee” after.

Blackmores was recently announced as parkrun Australia’s new wellbeing partner. parkrun is a series of free 5km events that takes place every Saturday morning in over 350 locations around Australia and is open to people of all ages and abilities.

Mahala the Tasmanian Devil is a new addition at Canberra’s National Zoo & Aquarium (NZA).

Zoo plays devils’ advocate The National Zoo & Aquarium (NZA) has welcomed a new arrival – Mahala the Tasmanian Devil.

Tasmanian-born as part of the Trowunna breeding program, the five-year-old Tassie Devil came to Canberra from Monarto Zoo and replaces the NZA’s previous devil, Lewis, who died earlier this year.

Team leader of Australian

Natives at the NZA, Dr Danielle Johinke, said Mahala is the only devil at the zoo but “we are hoping to get more in the future”.

Mahala’s timely arrival offered an opportunity to raise awareness for Australian threatened species conservation with Saturday 7 September being National Threatened Species Day.

Dr Johinke said Australia has the highest rate of native animal extinction “and what we are trying to do is stop that in its tracks”.

For the critically endangered Tasmanian Devil, Dr Johinke said the major issue stems from Devil Facial Tumour Disease, which was identified in 1996 and “in that time has devastated the population by 90%”. She said there is no vaccination, prevention or treatment.

Other issues, which are shared by other native species, are the loss of habitat, introduced species and climate change.

“For the Tasmanian Devil, people can contribute to the Save the (Tasmanian) Devil Program,” Dr Johinke said. “It’s an umbrella organisation looking to increase devil numbers in captivity and the wild.”

Koalas are another species in need and as their habitat is more

widespread, Dr Johinke said there are some simple things people can personally do to help.

This includes: preparing for bushfires, because koalas are losing a lot of habitat and, if there is a fire, to look out for wildlife; opt for FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) products; and “closer to home and suburban areas, keep dogs and cats locked in at night” in case of koalas coming down in search of food or water.

“Because their habitat is getting smaller or further stretched … and in summer food dries up, they have to look for other options,” Dr Johinke said.

The NZA held a range of activities for National Threatened Species Day on Saturday 7 September with all monies raised going towards the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program.

sport Raiders ready to weather the Storm

The Canberra Raiders will need to put in an improved performance for the NRL Finals Series after finishing the regular season with a four-point loss to the Warriors.

In front of a 13,331 strong crowd at GIO Stadium Canberra on Saturday 7 September, the Green Machine held a 16-12 lead at half-time, however the visitors finished strongly to win 2420. Accurate kicking for conversions

proved the difference with Raiders’ captain Jarrod Croker having a rare off day with the boot.

The result meant the Raiders finished the season in fourth position booking them a clash against Melbourne Storm in Melbourne on Saturday 14 September; kick off 5.40pm.

A win will see the Raiders progress through to the preliminary finals while a loss will see them take on the winner of Parramatta Eels v Broncos in a semi-final.

In other club news, the Canberra Raiders have extended coach Ricky Stuart’s contract for a further three seasons, which will see him remain at the club until the end of the 2023 season. Stuart joined the club at the beginning of the 2014 season with the new deal taking him to 10 seasons in charge.

Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad’s contract has also been extended until the end of 2023.

Canberra Business Chamber advertising moment

The Canberra Business Chamber is a place for businesspeople to get together and work with each other.

Canberra: More private enterprise than public sector

A

sk most Australians, and they’ll tell you that our city is basically a government town.

That the only business done in Canberra is government business.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

Today, almost two-thirds of all Canberrans work in the private sector. We’ve got more than 146,000 people working for businesses big and small, and fewer than 84,000 public sector employees.

That’s on the back of more than 28,000 businesses now trading in our city.

In other words, Canberra’s now a private sector town.

Canberra businesses and our community can no longer rely on government to provide our jobs and create future economic opportunities. That’s already coming from the private sector, and its significance is only going to continue to grow over time.

To make that work, Canberra

businesses also need a clear voice to speak out on their behalf. A survey of local fi rms conducted in February this year showed that there were three key priorities business owners and managers wanted help with: • Advocacy: someone to speak out on their behalf to government on issues big and small.

• Networking: providing opportunities to meet up with other business operators, to share ideas and experiences, and to help each other.

• Workplace relations assistance: practical help negotiating the very complex world of recruiting, hiring and managing people.

Other issues are also important.

Many businesses are now looking to trade overseas, or to make use of our great links with local embassies. Some want access to training and advice. Others are keen to grow, or to trade more often with other local businesses.

That’s where a peak industry association like the Canberra Business Chamber becomes so important. Every state and territory in the country has a peak Chamber, and the CBC is the business voice to the community and government.

Chambers around the world have a long history – the oldest ones in Europe go back more than 400 years – and this year marks the 40th anniversary of the creation of the Canberra Business Council, which has eventually morphed into the modern Chamber we have today.

Chamber members have access to plenty of help in dealing with all the issues every business faces.

The Chamber meets regularly with the Chief Minister, other key Ministers and decision-makers.

It hosts monthly free business networking sessions for members, as well as ministerial roundtables, an annual dinner, and offers a range of trade support.

Most importantly, it’s a place for businesspeople to get together and work with one another.

Island smoothie To make the pistachio base, process pistachios to fine crumbs. Add flour and icing sugar and process to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add enough water until dough just comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Lightly grease a 23cm round, 4cm deep tart pan with removable base. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 4mm thick round. Line pan with pastry and trim edges. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Blind bake pastry case for 20 minutes, then bake uncovered for 15 minutes, until golden and crisp. Cool.

To make the custard, place milk and vanilla bean paste in a saucepan and bring almost to boiling point. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick. Whisk in flours. Gradually whisk in warm milk mixture. Return to saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until custard boils and thickens. Simmer, stirring, for 2 minutes.

Pour into pastry case and smooth surface. Chill for 2 hours or until cold and firm to the touch.

To make the rose jelly, process raspberries, sugar and water together until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve. Sprinkle gelatine over 2 tablespoons of just boiled water, whisking with a fork to dissolve.

Whisk into raspberry mixture with rosewater. Pour over custard layer and chill for 2 hours, or until set firm. Decorate top of tart with extra chopped pistachios and rose petals.

cover story

We like the nightlife, baby!

While Floriade has been a Canberra cultural institution since 1988, over the past decade the event has drawn a new audience by way of NightFest.

After just a few short years, the festival’s ‘Floriade by night’ addendum had established itself as one of the event’s main attractions.

Drawn to the stunning light displays, topclass entertainment, and the whimsy of exploring the flowerbeds by night, this year NightFest runs 3-6 October during Canberra’s annual festival of flowers, Floriade, which opens this Saturday 14 September and ends on Sunday 13 October.

This year’s NightFest entertainment strikes a balance between bringing in the crowds with top flight entertainment like Dave Hughes and The Veronicas, and giving high-profile opportunities to a number of local performers, like band, Los Chavos, and comedian, Anthony Tomic.

Tomic, an established local comic whose accolades include performing at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, tells Canberra Weekly he’s pumped for his first ever NightFest performance, which he says will be the biggest crowd he’s ever performed for.

“So much of this stuff is about opportunities and momentum, so from this I’ll be looking to build. I’ll just be soaking it in; it’s not every day you get to share a stage with The Veronicas and Urzila Carlson.

“It’s definitely a boost to your confidence, so next year there will probably be another couple of Canberra locals who will get their shot just like me this year.”

Tomic says he’s a big fan of this year’s multifaceted entertainment line-up.

“I think it’s brilliant what they’ve done; obviously there’s going to be so many people there and you want a variety.

“You can’t get the mix wrong. With these sort of festivals, just put everything on, I hope there’s a magician, I hope I get to see some magic,” Tomic smiles.

“I’m looking forward to seeing The Veronicas. Is that their surname? I’ve never understood that.”

Having moved here from Melbourne eight years ago, Tomic says despite Melbourne being a comedy mecca, he loves the local scene.

“Canberra has been great for me; while it’s smaller, gigs are frequent enough that I’m always excited by them.

“In Melbourne if you want to perform every day you can, and doing that you can get quite easily burned out.

“But here I’m often lucky to get on stage once a week or so, which means I’m always up for it.”

Tomic says living here and working as a public servant has informed a fair bit of his material, which are mostly true stories, told in an absurd, random, and sometimes self-deprecating fashion.

“I came here as a public servant and I plan to go fulltime with comedy pretty soon.

“So many of my stories are based on experiences, some of them are very Canberra (continued next page)

time out (from previous page) specific, I do make fun of the public service a little bit,” he says.

Alongside the entertainment, many NightFest visitors are drawn to the magnificent illuminations like bugs to a flickering incandescent globe.

Mandylights General Manager Richard Neville is part of the team that’s allowed everyone to see Floriade in a different light for 10 years now.

He says it takes them about a year to custom build their lighting design for each NightFest, using Floriade’s theme as a starting point, which this year is World in bloom.

“Each year there’s a fresh theme, fresh perspective and fresh technology that we try and push together.

“For lighting up the garden beds, we take a look at what the garden bed designers have tried to accentuate.

“This year there are a number of beds themed to different Asian countries, so we’ve gone and researched traditional lantern types from those various countries.

“For example, we’ve lit the Middle Eastern garden beds up with some beautiful traditional glass lanterns.”

Renowned for being behind some iconic and heavily Instagrammed large-scale installations over the years, including 2015’s Cathedral of Light, this year Mandylights will unveil Spheric and Framed.

Spheric is a 15m wide dome with 3,000 individual lights on it that will be placed on the water at Commonwealth Park’s kangaroo pond.

“It’s a bit of an optical illusion, being a hemispherical shape across a body of water, we’re building a bridge across the kangaroo pond so visitors will be able to walk through it,” Neville says.

“It will look like you’re standing inside an enormous globe, a planet really, and it’ll all be set to music.

“It’s also in an area of the park that isn’t usually lit up, so it’s great.”

Framed is comprised of 16 enormous picture frames covered in 5,000 individually controllable LED pixels that will grant visitors the experience of walking through a tunnel of light.

Neville says a number of the installations Mandylights build for NightFest end up touring the world to wide acclaim.

“2015’s Cathedral of Light was built for Floriade, and now over nine of those installations tour all around Europe and the USA.

Established local comedian Anthony Tomic says he is humbled by the opportunity to take the stage at NightFest alongside the likes of The Veronicas and Dave Hughes.

“Canberra gets the first taste before they go overseas and around the world,” Neville says.

“I’ve never seen as many utes and four wheel drives in Canberra as I do at one of my shows; my fans really turn out and that’s something I love to see.” – Lee Kernaghan

Country legend comes to Canberra The boy from the bush is back in town.

Australian country music legend, Lee Kernaghan, brings his Backroad Nation tour to Canberra this month, celebrating his new album of the same name.

“I’ve spent the last few years

crisscrossing our great country, from the major cities to little country towns.

making, and saw him collaborate with some of the world’s best country music songwriters.

“What I wanted to do was lift people up, and send out the good vibrations with this record. There’s been some difficult times of late with the floods up north and a lot of farms in drought.”

Kernaghan says the opportunity to take his show out on the road and cover the country is a privilege.

“These are big shows, big parties, big events and we want to put on a spectacle … We use big screens in our show, cameras, and really involve everybody into the show as much as we can.

“There’s a real feeling of connection, and I don’t think of the people who come out to these shows as fans; they’re not fans, they’re mates.”

Kernaghan has a strong connection to Canberra; a song off his new album, called Live to Ride, was inspired by a Remembrance Day he spent at the Australian War Memorial.

“Veterans and motorcycle groups had come from all across the nation for the ceremony … I was really inspired by their journey, and how many of them carry scars many others won’t see,” he says.

“I’ve never seen as many utes and four wheel drives in Canberra as I do at one of my shows; my fans really turn out and that’s something I love to see.”

Local artist Jenny Blake salvaged timber from a home renovation that she’s upcycled for her latest exhibition, Block by Block, at Strathnairn Arts. Photo supplied.

Getting art out of the woods Local artist Jenny Blake’s new exhibition, Block by Block, engages with a very present issue confronting us head on in 2019, minimising landfill.

Blake says the idea for the exhibition came about when she spotted a builder’s skip full of “beautiful wood offcuts” outside a home being renovated.

“I looked in and thought ‘oh my goodness, I hope this beautiful timber is not going to landfill’,” she says.

“I asked if I could take some of the wood out of the skip and they said sure, so I filled my little Mazda 2 to the brim, took it home and said ‘what can I do to upcycle this’.”

Blake says upcycling the offcuts tied into her philosophy of utilising found or recycled objects in her art.

“For me, I’m all about material driving the art, especially if it’s found or redeemed from landfill.

“If I can find something at the op shop, green shed or garage sale I collect it, because I might just be able to find something to do with it.

“I love painting and of course I buy canvases and paint, but if there’s an opportunity to use a material and have that drive the

art, I’m always up for a challenge,” she says.

Blake says the environmental aspect of her exhibition is a reflection of how the local community is thinking about it right now.

“I think that culturally there’s been a rejuvenation for mending or saving things.

“As a community we’re thinking more about the environment, thinking twice about single use plastics, and seeing what materials we have around the house.”

The exhibition comprises 16 works including five block walls, which have been created as a reimagined brick wall, and involved her cutting the wood into little brick sizes, and painting a landscape or a seascape on each.

“I’ve used the blocks as a canvas … I’m experimenting with different ways to present wood that’s been painted with lovely seascapes and landscapes.”

Australian Dance Party’s latest production, From the vault, explores what we hold valuable on both a personal and societal level, and will be performed in a Fyshwick warehouse facility.

Iconic 1990s sitcom, Seinfeld, popularised the expression ‘I’m putting it in the vault’ as an amusing way to assure people you’re ‘locking away’ confidential information.

Australian Dance Party’s (ADP) latest show From the vault looks to unlock our values and safe keepings, on a personal and societal level, providing a nuanced and sophisticated examination of an idea Seinfeld simply played for laughs.

“We’ve opened up and unlocked a discussion around what is important and what do we want to invest our time and our money in, for ourselves and our society and community,” ADP Party Leader Alison Plevey tells Canberra Weekly.

Plevey, who conceptualised and is directing this production, says the thematic core of From the vault was inspired by the venue they’ve secured for their performances later this month, a warehouse facility that once held valuable goods for one of Canberra’s national institutions.

“It was a bit hush hush, did you know, curious secret intrigue about the building and a sense of preciousness about it.

“It got me thinking about my own concerns about what we’re choosing to value in our

Curebrain

contemporary times,” she says.

The way in which ADP will utilise the space adds another element of intrigue into what is already a conceptually rich and layered production.

“How the relationship with space, this vault is a concrete box with no windows, it’s very enclosed and has this very safelike high security feeling,” she says.

Plevey says ADP regularly choose to perform in unconventional venues as a way of further accentuating their productions.

“I’ve always been interested in the idea of bringing dance out to the everyday, bringing dance out to our civic spaces, but also unusual spaces.

“By choosing these different spaces, it heightens the feeling of the dance and heightens the conceptual rigour of what we’re trying to talk about.

“They’re real spaces, not theatrical spaces which you can shape to be whatever you want to be,” she says.

ADP’s From the vault will be performed at a secret warehouse at Dairy Road Precinct, Fyshwick, 20-21 September 7.30pm, 22 September 6pm; facebook.com/ australiandanceparty - Denholm Samaras

Secret weapon To mark the release of Shadow (MA 15+) on Blu-ray, you could win 1 of 5 Blu-ray discs.

With Shadow, master director Zhang Yimou once again pushes the boundaries of wuxia action to create a fi lm like no other, masterfully painting a canvas of inky blacks and greys punctuated with bursts of colour from the blood of the defeated. In a kingdom ruled by a young and unpredictable king, the military commander has a secret weapon: a “shadow”, a look-alike who can fool both his enemies and the King himself …

Enter to WIN To enter, email competitions@canberraweekly.com.au with ‘Shadow’ in the subject field. Tell us your name, full contact details and what is a “shadow” in this film. Entries close 9am 20 September 2019 and winners drawn same day.

One entry per person.

Now showing It: Chapter Two (MA15+) Twenty-seven years after the events of the first movie, a young man is murdered by a monstrous clown creature (Bill Skarsgård) in Derry, Maine. The now adult Mike (Isaiah Mustafa), using the Derry library as a research centre, hears of the incident on a police scanner and goes about getting the band back together to end the clown menace once and for all!

Theatrical adaptations of Stephen King novels are a hitand-miss affair. A running joke in this movie is that scriptwriter protagonist Bill’s (James McAvoy) endings are very weak. This is true of the first chapter of It and holds true here.

Netflix’s nostalgia-heavy Stranger Things reintroduced Stephen King to the masses, and this movie seems to be borrowing heavily from it and many other

sources as plenty of 1980s horror cinema Easter eggs are woven into It: Chapter Two’s fabric. This is probably to give more grit to our creature antagonist who is, again, extremely generic and derivative; a being who takes on the form of whatever will get the most scares out of its victim.

While our young characters in It: Chapter One were fantastic, the casting for their adult counterparts is brilliant. Leads Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy and Bill Hader bring a gravitas to proceedings.

It’s just a shame that the story is so silly, poorly executed, and told with little consistency to its own established rules.

Verdict: While a fantastic production, this is an unnecessary retread of the first entry. 2.5 stars.

SATURDAY 28 SEPTEMBER 2019, 6:30PM HOTEL REALM, CANBERRA WWW.EVENTBRITE.COM.AU

shitbox rally is not a race ... rather a challenge, to achieve the unthinkable. To drive cars worth just $1,000 across Australia via some of its most formidable roads, all in the name of charity. This year, all the teams are driving their shitboxes from Melbourne to Townsville, via Birdsville.

Team Brindabella, Local Canberrans Jeremy Maher and Charlie Tizzard are taking part in this years Rally and are extremely proud to raise funds for Cancer Council.

The fundraising is the hard part, so any donation you can give is greatly appreciated.

To donate and to follow, head to:

Ghosts of the Past by Tony Park Macmillan, $32.99

When Nick Eatwell is contacted by reporter Susan Vidler out of the blue, his life is changed forever. Susan wants information about Nick’s ancestor, Cyril Blake, an Australian adventurer sentenced to death in the former South West Africa by the Germans in 1906.

Their investigation reveals an adventure that spans two wars, a tragic love story and a deadly hunt for treasure that persists to this day. In Ghosts of the Past, Park once again shows why he is one of Australia’s preeminent thriller writers. Cleverly utilising multiple timelines to tell an outstanding story across Africa’s history, this is an amazing novel. Highly recommended.

The Bone Fire by S. D. Sykes Hodder & Stoughton, $45.00

England, 1361. The Plague has returned, and Oswald de Lacy and his family have fled to an isolated castle to wait out the sickness. However, the day after they arrive, their host is murdered. Now trapped in the castle, de Lacy must investigate the castle’s secretive residents to stop a brutal killer, who may be more dangerous than the plague ravishing the country outside. This is the fourth book from Sykes, who combines a complex and compelling murder mystery with a unique and fascinating historical setting. An exciting and gripping read that is worth checking out.

Spaceside by Michael Mammay Harper Voyager, $14.99

Two years after he infamously devastated an alien planet, former soldier Carl Butler is working security in the corporate sector. When a rival tech company’s system is breached, Butler is tasked with investigating to see if his company is also vulnerable. However, when his contact is murdered, Butler is drawn into another conspiracy he is not meant to survive. Spaceside is the sensational sequel to Planetside, one of the best debuts of 2018. A captivating thriller set in a great science fiction environment, Mammay makes use of an excellent story and a fantastic central protagonist to create a clever and addictive novel.

The healing power of gratitude What would make you happier? Advertisers really want you to think the answer is more stuff: a new car, a bigger house, fancier holidays or nicer clothes. Material things can and do bring pleasure, but they do not intrinsically create sustained experiences of happiness. That’s because happiness is, and always has always been, an inside job. In other words, your level of happiness is based on your habitual thoughts and emotions.

The good news is that we have more evidence than ever before about how to go about cultivating happiness and, in particular, gratitude practices show a remarkable ability to reset our inner landscape emotionally, mentally and physically.

First, an important caveat, we’re not aiming for a fixed or rigid state of happiness; our emotions are like the weather and are naturally always changing. The goal is simply to drop into states of happiness easily and regularly in order to provide an emotional reset. In time, the brain and body can be rewired so that whilst happiness

BEFORE

6 WEEKS LATER after 1 treatment

comes and goes throughout the day, it is the default mode that you return to.

Gratitude improves sleep Spending a few minutes before sleep writing in a gratitude journal (e.g. write down five things you are grateful for) leads to better quality and longer sleep.

Gratitude improves self esteem It makes sense that if you feel you have more things to be grateful for, you’d be more likely to think favourably about your life and yourself.

Studies show gratitude practices reduce people’s need to compare themselves with others.

Gratitude reduces depression and increases happiness Gratitude can neutralise a bunch of painful emotions including regret, resentment and frustration. Try it for yourself; it’s impossible to

feel grateful and resentful at the same time! In one study, people who kept a gratitude journal for 10 weeks increased their happiness by 25% compared to the control group.

Gratitude improves physical health Grateful people experience fewer aches and pains and report feeling healthier than other people.

They also have higher rates of exercise and are more likely to take better care of their health.

In other words, gratitude creates a positive feedback loop.

So why not give it a try, start a gratitude practice and begin to reap the benefits. You’re welcome!

If you’d like to read more about the amazing research on gratitude, have a look at the work of two of the world’s leading experts, psychologists Dr Robert Emmons of the University of California, Davis, and Dr Michael McCullough of the University of Miami.

• The orchid family is one of the two biggest plant families, with more than 26,000 known species (plus more not yet discovered) and more than 110,000 registered hybrids.

• Many orchid species do not grow in the ground. Instead they grow on rocks or more commonly in trees. Their roots attach to the bark of the host tree, but they do not take nutrients from it.

• Charles Darwin was fascinated by orchids, noting that certain orchids had evolved blooms which only allowed a specific

pollinator. He described them as “universally acknowledged to rank amongst the most singular and most modified forms in the vegetable kingdom”.

• Orchids strive for efficiency. Many Australian orchid species have strategies to achieve pollination without having to provide nectar or pollen for their insect pollinator, saving energy. One such strategy involves orchids mimicking particular species of female insects in order to attract the male insects of the relevant species. They pollinate the orchid while trying to copulate with the pretend female insect.

• Usually a single insect species is associated with a single orchid species. Some Australian orchids copy the appearance of other plant species in their

NCA launches Our Trees website The National Capital Authority (NCA) recently launched its new Our Trees website, where visitors can access a range of information on Canberra’s trees, their future, and their importance to our iconic Bush Capital landscape. Pages include history of Canberra’s

treescape, exploring Canberra’s trees, challenges, plans for the future and latest happenings. You also have the opportunity to help design Canberra’s future treescape by filling in the online survey.

environment, thus benefitting from the pollen or nectar those species produce.

• Unlike the seeds of most plants, orchid seeds are tiny (about one million to a gram) and contain very little nutrition to help the germinating plant to develop.

Instead, orchids produce vastly more numerous, much smaller seeds for greater efficiency, relying on an associated fungus to provide the necessary nutrients. Only if infected with the fungus can the tiny germinating orchid grow.

• Some orchid species were so valuable, and collected so intensively, that they were eliminated from the wild.

International trade in orchids is now regulated by an international convention, which covers all orchid species.

• Despite their rarity, orchids are still sought out by international collectors, enthusiasts and hunters for their long-lasting

and record-holding blooms.

Vast numbers of orchid plants continue to be taken from the wild, threatening the survival of many species.

• In 2005, the Shenzhen Nongke Orchid became the most expensive flower ever sold when an anonymous bidder paid the equivalent of $290,000 at an auction. The orchid had been developed in a laboratory over eight years by agricultural research corporation Shenzhen Nongke Group.

Prohibition Notice for DKSN site

Home buying seminar

A Prohibition Notice is now in place for the DKSN construction site in Dickson, after a male worker in his early twenties fell around 10 metres from scaffolding on the site on Friday 6 September.

WorkSafe ACT investigators were continuing to investigate the incident, and ACT Work Safety Commissioner Greg Jones said the focus was on understanding how the incident occurred, and how future incidents of a similar nature could be prevented.

“We have replaced the Non-Disturbance Notice with a Prohibition Notice. This means that building work cannot occur, but it enables the safety issues identified on site to be rectified,” he said.

“This includes falls from heights, falling objects, electrical safety and fire safety issues.

Service One will be hosting a free home buying seminar on Tuesday 17 September, open to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Canberra region in the short, medium or long term.

Service One has assembled an expert panel, including real estate agents and conveyancers, and will cover a range of topics including understanding the total cost of a home, tips on how to find the right property, understanding the home buying process (including conveyancing), assistance available for first home buyers and understanding the home loan products and features available.

The seminar will be held on Tuesday 17 September 6.15pm at the Mercure Canberra, corner of Ainslie Avenue and Limestone Avenue, Braddon, with parking available onsite. For more information and to register, visit serviceone.com.au/homebuyingseminar

The Notice will remain in place preventing building works until all these safety issues are fully rectified to the satisfaction of WorkSafe.”

The ACT Ambulance service responded to a call at 9.10am on Friday 6 September, treating the man for multiple injuries before transporting him to hospital in a critical condition. Mr Jones said on Saturday he understood the worker’s condition was “serious”, with the full extent of his injuries still to be determined at that time.

“A fall from a height is one of the most significant risks on a construction site,” he said.

“I expect WorkSafe will have a continued active presence on the site well into next week as our investigations continue.”

Other workers on the Challis Street site have been offered support and counselling.

Design panel to consult on five-storey plus DAs From 1 October, developments that are five or more storeys high will be required to consult with the new National Capital Design Review Panel (NCDRP) before submitting a development application (DA).

The panel has been announced as a permanent version of the interim design review panel which has been operating in the ACT since September 2017, with a revised scope.

In a statement, ACT Planning Minister Mick Gentleman said the panel provides the opportunity for peer review of development designs, and will help “ensure a high quality of development” in town centres and along main transport corridors.

“A joint initiative between the ACT Government and National Capital Authority, the NCDRP is an independent and expert panel

that provides design advice to government, developers and designers for large-scale developments such as buildings, public spaces and public infrastructure projects,” he said.

“The panel’s advice is provided to builders and developers early in the proposal process and is carefully considered by the planning and land authority when it assesses development applications. This encourages a greater level of exploration and testing of design ideas and concepts for major projects.”

Minister Gentleman said the Government is working with industry to transition DAs through the new design panel, and would be holding information sessions throughout September. Expressions of interest will be open for design professionals wishing to join the permanent panel.

Developments five storeys or higher will soon be required to consult with a new design panel before submitting a Development Application, in a bid to ensure “high-quality development” in Canberra’s town centres and transport corridors. File image.

Country cottage charm Wee Jasper NSW 70 Caves Road This cottage on 14.36ha (approx.) in Wee Jasper is the embodiment of charming country living, with features such as ornamental fireplaces, restored timber floors, pressed metal ceilings and the leadlight front door.

LJ Hooker Gungahlin registered agent Naish Stormon says the cottage has a fascinating history.

“It is a 100-year-old cottage moved from Sans Souci, Sydney, to its present location where it was renovated and extended. The location is superb – the house cannot be seen from the road and the property offers seclusion and a peaceful, serene idyllic environment.”

He says the house has been

well-oriented to take advantage of the winter sun, and the home offers “the charm of days gone by” with all the convenience of a contemporary home, including an ensuite and a main bathroom, a “well-designed and functional kitchen”, and a “spectacular” outlook from the veranda.

The home features an openplan living and kitchen area, with an open fire and split-system air conditioning, with inclusions that perfectly complement the heritage of the home.

Outside, the cottage grounds and gardens have been beautifully maintained, with more than 200 trees connected to an irrigation system run from a 50,000L water

tank and dam. French doors from each room open out onto the verandahs, with the northfacing side of the cottage enjoying stunning views over the valley, and the large deck is the perfect space for alfresco entertaining. A large cedar-clad barn completes the picture.

The property is currently being used as popular Airbnb accommodation for families and groups who want to get away and relax, and Naish says it would also make a “wonderful permanent home” for those who work from home, or who will enjoy the

commute to Canberra each day via Mountain Creek Road: “the drive is a delight”, he says.

“Some of the potential buyers who have seen the property have suggested it would be a wonderful weekender.”

Old-world glamour Ainslie 8 Suttor Street This magnificent, heritage-listed home sits in the highly coveted Inner North suburb of Ainslie, in the heritage Wakefield Gardens precinct.

“The home is positioned along an oak tree-lined street, creating an equal feeling of sophistication and affinity with nature, uncommon in inner-city suburbs,” says Ray White Canberra licensed agent, Treston Bamber.

“Such urban planning features include broad streetscapes, homogenous house façades, front hedges, permanent corner parks like the one adjacent to this property; paired driveways and open carports. The heritage listing ensures the preservation of these design features.

76

“Beyond its modest and essentially original façade, a spacious, single-level floor plan balances old-world charm with new-world functionality.”

Architecturally designed, the home has been extended and renovated, maintaining the integrity of the home’s heritage, to include five bedrooms, the master with an ensuite and large walkin robe, a contemporary main bathroom, study, formal lounge room and a large, light-filled kitchen, living and dining area with soaring ceilings. The central kitchen perfectly encapsulates the meeting of old and new, and includes an impressive island bench and a five-burner gas cooktop and oven.

“A centrally located kitchen with a spacious family room offers a fluid transition between indoors and leafy outdoor terraces,” Bamber says.

Further features include wraparound alfresco timber decking, fireplace in the formal lounge, double glazing, new plumbing, instant gas hot water, timber flooring, ducted gas heating, gardens with numerous fruit trees and a double carport.

Bamber says the home will appeal to “professional couples and families who are location conscientious” and those who “desire to live close to the city in a neighbourhood which still showcases the original character and charm of its early Canberra suburban design”.

“The location is well positioned to many high profile schools, [and] the owners advise of the friendly neighbours and close proximity to the Ainslie shops, which have built a reputation for their excellent calibre of traders, who are both

friendly and community focused.”

“Homes seem to be bought with the intention of long-term ownership suggesting stability in who your neighbours are and a likely limited availability of homes for sale in the area in the future. A stroll through the neighbourhood may seem like a stroll back in time where locals will soon likely introduce themselves and know you by name.”

With McGrath Woden I have peace of mind, knowing that my tenants are being looked after and that my property is being managed.�

The property is vacant rural land located within the Yass Valley Shire less than 500m to Bonner.

Please note: the property is landlocked with no legal access from a public road, the adjoining reserve or right of carriageway access, and is therefore offered for sale via tender with no legal right of access.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Collateral Saturday, SBS, 8.30pm, MA15+ (2011)

Nominated for three Oscars, this spy thriller twists and turns through 1970s London, through smoke-riddled dens and under grey skies. Based on John Le Carre’s 1974 novel, and starring Gary Oldman and Colin Firth (pictured), the hunt is on for a Soviet mole who has penetrated the upper ranks of the British secret service, which Le Carre aptly named “The Circus”.

Friday

Monday, 9GO!, 8.30pm, M (2004)

Collateral is a masterful study of deception and coincidence. Jamie Foxx is revelatory in his role as Los Angeles cab driver Max, who opens his door to the suave, sophisticated Vincent (Tom Cruise, pictured). A striking grey suit and direct manner suggest that Vincent is a corporate type however, Vincent is actually a hit man and forces Max to drive him from hit to hit.

Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children Saturday, PRIME7, 7pm, PG (2016)

There is surely no director better suited to transferring Ransom Riggs’ dark, fantastical world from the page to the screen than the master of weird Tim Burton. The tale, which is every bit as peculiar as the children therein, sees young Jacob (Asa Butterfield) discover a mysterious island, where he finds a refuge, overseen by the imposing Miss Peregrine (Eva Green, pictured), which is filled with children who possess all sorts of strange powers.

Power, authority, popularity, light and life are the characteristics of the Sun, Harry’s ruling planet in the year ahead. It will be a time of shining possibilities, full of success and a good year for him to start a new enterprise or a large scale project. It may even mark the news of pregnancy and birth of his second child and this time it will be a daughter.

He must make sure he allows time to take good care of his health and stamina.

ARIES 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

The Full Moon on the 14th warns you to be careful of undermining yourself; your emotions are strong at this time which could cause you to overreact or to misuse your power.

Old health issues connected to stress may reappear so book an appointment with your health professional.

The Full Moon on the 14th indicates that you could get hot under the collar about the perceived arrogance coming from certain people or those who are ignorant and uneducated about certain issues. Perhaps you could approach this as an opportunity for a lesson in tolerance!

The Full Moon on 14 September indicates a connection with health practitioners, either because you require their help or someone close does. There could be work projects carried on in secret, e.g. preparing to set up a small business of your own while continuing at your usual job.

The Full Moon on the 14th indicates that you may have a feeling that you can’t continue any longer in the same old way. The chances are the frustrations and the problems which are affecting your working life will spill over into your personal life as well.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

The Full Moon on 14 September may see frustrations regarding friendships and associations, your attitude may be stubborn and impractical. It would be wise to be mindful of what you say and how you act as someone is going to take offence at your behaviour.

The Full Moon on 14 September indicates that if you have been travelling towards a separation, this could be when you may bring it about.

There will be major endings and beginnings around this time which might include setting up a new home or dismantling a former household.

The Full Moon on the 14th indicates that your emotions could be going through a strange time and you may not know exactly how to deal with certain people, especially younger ones in your life. Avoid seeking revenge when you realise that a trusted friend has deceived you.

The Full Moon on 14 September indicates that your romantic drive will be heightened; be careful though not to stray, especially if you are committed elsewhere or there will be consequences to pay! You may have some kind of professional contact with the police, private detectives or hospitals.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR

The Full Moon on the 14th warns that frustrations at work are likely and a major setback is possible.

Do your best to be prepared for a rebuilding time. There will also be more dealings with your mother or other older female friends and relatives this month.

The Full Moon on the 14th indicates that you’re going to find it difficult to be objective and may require both freedom and security at the same time. Avoid being a lead foot or breaking other laws as you’re likely to have the rule book thrown at you.

The Full Moon on the 14th indicates that you may be feeling somewhat insecure and could retreat from the outside world into the comfort and security of what is familiar. This is a time when secrets and deceptions might emerge in an uncomfortably embarrassing way.

The Full Moon on the 14th indicates that the intensity of your feelings will take some living with this week.

Be very careful of playing mind games or getting involved in power plays as these will only deplete your energy. You will be more decisive and dynamic than ever before.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS I might be cheating putting family and friends together as one of my favourite things, but for me, my friends are like my family. I can’t think of anything better than spending time with those dearest to me.

I am constantly entertained by my daughter, son and Sherlock – our beagle.

My favourite things

DANCE Dancing is a big part of my life. From Irish dancing to hip-hop, I have tried it all. I love that my daughter enjoys dancing as much as I do. She is always ready to start an impromptu dance party. At all my book events you are guaranteed some dancing.

I have a love affair with travel. I am infatuated by the beauty found in every country around the world. I am head over heels for airports, planes, maps and suitcases (yes, I have many and despite travelling often, I haven’t mastered packing light, as my husband would attest).

BOOKS CANBERRA RAIDERS My dad and I have been Canberra Raiders supporters for many, many, many years!

We still go to every home game together.

It’s one of my favourite things to do.

Where there are books, there you’ll find me! Libraries and bookshops are two of my favourite spaces. If I’m not writing stories, I am reading them! Books are magic, they have the power to connect us, transport us, challenge and inspire us. Escaping in a book is true bliss!

Scary Beautiful.

Their beauty is self-evident. Their power and performance deceptive.

Settle behind the wheel and you’ll know something extraordinary awaits you. More than excitement. Unadulterated exhilaration.

The Audi S Range, the perfect combination of sport and sophistication.

Where performance truly does meet luxury.
