This week...

Recently I had the pleasure of experiencing Australian comedy legend Tim Ferguson’s show at The Street Theatre, where he kept the audience enthralled for 90 minutes. During the gig, he threw to a fun audience participation exercise, where he asked the crowd to come up with “slightly less ambitious” movie titles by changing a letter or word; for example, Codependence Day, I Know What You Did Last (thanks to Tim and audience members), Despicable Knee and Abbott-Proof Fence.

Love it or loathe it, today (31 October) is also known as Halloween, so we’ve come up with some “slightly less horrifying” scary film titles: Friday the 14th; A Nightmare on Elmo Street (or A Night mart on Elm Street); The Silence of the Lamingtons; Lawn of the Dead; Invasion of the Potty Snatchers; Rosemary’s Bae; The Bland Witch Project; and The Sixth Pence.

It’s a fun game you can try with any genre, without limits or with book and song titles, too. Do try this at home.

Reasons to be grateful this past week include birthday celebrations with family, friends and colleagues, stirring live music at the Canberra Symphony Orchestra’s Llewellyn 4 concert, strong support for the local arts community at CAPO’s annual fundraising auction, and a fun preview of Canberra Outlet’s new Premium Mall early Saturday morning.

The 2020 ACT Australian of the Year Awards recipients are (clockwise from top left): Katrina Fanning, Sue Salthouse, Madeline Diamond and Julia Rollings. Photos: National Australia Day Council.

Outstanding women top ACT Australian of the Year Awards A pioneer in women’s rugby league, a disability rights leader, a sustainability advocate and a foster carer have been recognised at the 2020 ACT Australian of the Year Awards.

Announced on Monday 28 October, the 2020 ACT Australian of the Year is women’s rugby league pioneer and Wiradjuri woman, Katrina Fanning.

For more than 25 years, Ms

Fanning has lived and breathed rugby league. Following a successful career as a player, she was appointed manager of the Indigenous Women’s All Stars team, Chairperson of the Australian Rugby League Indigenous Council, and President of the Canberra and Australian Women’s Rugby League Associations.

In 2014, she was named Canberra Woman of the Year,

and ACT NAIDOC Person of the Year, while this year she was the third woman to be appointed to the Canberra Raiders Board of Directors.

The 46-year-old firmly believes the ACT can lead the way nationally for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people outcomes, in creating and leading their own solutions.

In other awards, disability advocate Sue Salthouse was named the 2020 ACT Senior Australian of the Year.

In 2015, Ms Salthouse was Canberra Citizen of the Year, recognising her outstanding commitment and contribution as a disability advocate. Now aged 70, she runs a consultancy company specialising in disability rights advocacy and works in the disability sector.

The 2020 ACT Young Australian of the Year is 22-year-old sustainability advocate, Madeline Diamond, who is the founder of Trash Mob, a youth-led community group that meets every month to pick up rubbish in public areas in Canberra, as well as advocating for waste-free solutions.

Ms Diamond is also the executive officer of SEE-Change,

a community organisation encouraging Canberrans to live more sustainably. Her achievements include initiating the Young Changemakers Workshop and overseeing the annual Parliament of Youth on Sustainability event.

The 2020 ACT Local Hero is Julia Rollings, who has been a foster carer for over two decades – supporting 50 babies, children and young people through difficult periods of their lives.

In 2009, she was awarded Barnardos ACT Mother of the Year Award for her work as a champion for children’s rights.

Drawing on past experience in the out-of-home care sector, Ms Rollings supports other carers through her role on the Carer Wellbeing Sub-Committee. She has also held various volunteer positions within adoption support groups, including president of the Adoptive Families Association (ACT).

The four ACT recipients will join those from the other states and territories for the national awards ceremony at the National Arboretum in Canberra on 25 January 2020 – the 60th anniversary of the awards.

Building defects bill labelled ‘draconian’ A bill introduced into the Legislative Assembly last week (24 October) would see company directors held personally liable for building defects in the ACT. Building Quality Improvement Minister, Gordon Ramsay, said the amendments would provide building owners “better protection from dodgy builders and developers”, and would prevent corporations from “deliberately avoiding their regulatory obligations by winding up their company”.

“There have been instances where building corporations have produced substandard buildings and, when called to account, they have closed their business to leave the cost of 12

rectification to the building owners,” he said.

“We’re strengthening our regulatory regime, with new powers to allow rectification orders to be issued to the directors of licensed corporations, and to make directors liable for unpaid financial penalties.”

Master Builders ACT has hit back at the Government, branding the bill as “draconian” and as having “blindsided” builders.

“It is disappointing that the Minister has prioritised politics over genuine industry reform and failed to engage with his key stakeholders,” said CEO Michael Hopkins.

“It has been less than 100 days since the Building Ministers from

every State and Territory agreed to a national approach to implement the recommendations of the Shergold Weir Report.”

Mr Hopkins said the amendment that would see company directors held liable for defective work would “amount to nothing”, and said the ACT Building Regulator already has existing powers to take action against licensed builders and companies.

“After calling for building reform for a decade, the MBA has been blindsided by the Minister who has introduced this bill with no industry or stakeholder consultation. Failing to engage with key stakeholders on major reforms never produces

optimal results.”

He said Master Builders would request an urgent meeting with the Minister so the draft laws can be “explained to the local industry”.

Other amendments would see the Construction Occupations Registrar able to publish information about stop notices “if necessary or desirable to protect the public”, building inspectors would be able to direct builders and landowners with regards to non-compliant building work, people would be allowed to enter into enforceable actions to rectify work, and corporations would have “clear requirements” to have an effective system of management.

capital hill Right to snow ne thing you can say with some certainty about the re-elected Morrison Government is that it doesn’t care too much for scrutiny or accountability.

Since the May election, there have been only five sitting weeks of the parliament and, can you believe it, we now have a five-week break ahead of just two more weeks before the summer break.

Not that any government enjoys fronting up to close examination but this one is so averse to it, that it has sparked a major campaign from the nation’s biggest media organisations. The Right To Know campaign is symptomatic of the free press finding not only is it struggling with increasingly draconian laws in the name of national security, but it faces the sort of restrictions found in

authoritarian states like China.

And it’s taking a toll. Annika Smethurst, the News Corp journalist who suffered the indignity of a team of Federal Police agents going through her apartment, underwear drawers and all for eight hours, wrote on the weekend of her shock and anxiety. She still faces the prospect of a jail term for reporting on plans to use our international espionage agency to spy on Australians at home. There’s no doubt the story was leaked to her because somebody high up in the public service or ministry wanted to torpedo the idea; a clear case of criminalising a journalist for doing her job. No wonder her employer, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, is outraged.

In parliament, when it sits, the Prime Minister is fond of what

colloquially is known as ‘snow jobs’.

Whenever he can, he blames Labor for everything and ignores the fact the Coalition is now into its seventh year of office. In Question Time, he was asked if the real reason he is “obsessed about Labor” is because he wants to “distract from the fact that net government debt has more than doubled on his watch”.

Right off the bat he said “net government debt is coming down because we are in surplus this year”; except we are only projected to be in surplus and, so far, every year debt has increased. The $50 billion reduction over the next four years is a forecast and, as we found out when Wayne Swan was Treasurer, those results can fail to materialise.

Morrison ridiculed the Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers for being Swan’s chief of staff and seeing

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

his former boss as an “Obi-Wan Kenobi”, Morrison joked. Star Wars fans will get the reference; Obi-Wan was a good guy and a mentor to Luke Skywalker. The prime minister better check his fictional references. Did he really mean Swan was a good guy?

Perhaps it was a Freudian slip – an unintentional admission that he knows Swan wasn’t as hopeless as he makes out. Swan won international recognition for his handling of the Global Financial Crisis. The “panicked, reckless spending” Morrison condemns in fact saved Australian jobs and kept us out of recession. It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious.

participants were also interviewed in languages other than English for the first time.

The survey found 60% of ACT adults participated in some form of gambling activity in the past 12 months, and a significant increase in ACT residents, particularly male, gambling online – with the number increasing from 8% in 2014 to 21% this year.

The report was released as part of the Gambling Harm Awareness Week, 21-27 October.

The ACT Government has begun consultation on adapting the Tree Protection Act 2005 to simplify regulation, while also ensuring that the number of trees planted each year grows.

Minister for City Services, Chris Steel, said the government specifically want to know if the community supports introducing an offset system whereby if a tree has to be removed, it will be replaced by one or more new trees.

“Under our existing tree protection laws, thousands of trees are removed on leased land in Canberra and not replaced. We want to hear from the community how we can improve this outcome,” he said.

“However, we have also heard from the community that the system of managing trees on private land can be inflexible and we are seeking feedback on how the legislation and strict criteria can be improved.”

The ACT Government’s Canberra’s Living Infrastructure Plan, released in September, set a target to increase Canberra’s tree canopy cover from 21% to 30%.

The Conservation Council ACT Region warned against lowering the

criteria for protecting the Territory’s trees in a bid to make the legislation more “flexible”.

Executive director Helen Oakey said it is important large established trees are not removed, only to be replaced with smaller trees that won’t necessarily deliver the same habitat or canopy cover.

“Given the longer hotter summers that we are already experiencing, it’s too early to be removing large trees or lowering the criteria for their protection.

“The Discussion Paper hints that the criteria to remove trees are too restrictive, yet in 2018-19, nearly 70% of all applications made under the Tree Protection Act to remove, prune or lop protected trees were approved,” she said.

The ACT Greens welcomed the consultation, describing it as an ideal opportunity to improve protection of trees in the ‘bush capital’.

“It’s unacceptable, at a time of extreme heat, that numbers of trees in the bush capital are decreasing,” Greens MLA Caroline Le Couteur said.

Success your way

As your advisors your success lies at the heart of ours The success of their clients is what drives the selfmanaged super division of MGI Joyce|Dickson.

It is safe to assume that when most people think about the compliance and administration of selfmanaged super funds (SMSFs), they think it is quite a dull profession.

To the contrary, the MGI Joyce|Dickson super team are dynamic and vibrant, with the recently expanded team ranging in age from their early 20s to their 60s. This diversity ensures that they can help guide their clients through the lifespan of their SMSF by capitalising on diverse views and thoughts as well as a wealth of expertise.

Wayne Bolin, Partner, has been assisting his clients with their SMSFs since the 80s, and has seen a lot of growth in the SMSF sector, saying “people have been attracted to the level of control and security they feel over their retirement. It puts them in charge of their own successful retirement without relying on fund managers.”

MGI Joyce|Dickson can assist their clients from the start, including being able to initially set-up their SMSF and provide a tailored Statement of Advice

(SOA) that encapsulates the client’s particular situation and unique goals. According to Wayne, “superannuation is only one part of a successful retirement and by looking at the whole picture we have seen many of our hundreds of clients retire the way they want.” Clients, Sam and Joan, agree saying “we have been clients of MGI Joyce|Dickson for 7 years and with the strategies and advice we received we were able to retire 2 years earlier than we thought possible.”

“superannuation is only one part of a successful retirement” Noelia Pinto, Senior Manager, has been in the industry for close to 25 years and explains that “SOAs are a helpful way of turning a client’s aims and ambitions with their SMSF into a strategy.

It is rewarding to help educate a client on the possibilities around what they can do and how it can impact their retirement plans, both now and in the future.”

For most people superannuation benefits and retirement planning are concepts that are not thought about until they are in their 50s. The team at MGI Joyce|Dickson advise their clients to start planning early to ensure a comfortable retirement, particularly with the government changes to contribution rules. Wayne added, “with all the super tax changes, estate planning has become an integral part of our client’s SMSF strategies.”

MGI Joyce|Dickson goes beyond the compliance of SMSF and pride themselves on building strong client relationships through building trust and collaboration. They learn about their client’s goals and help them achieve those goals, whether it be buying a high end car, enjoying a cruise down the Riviera or leaving a little to the kids. It is this strong collaboration that ensures the team are able to assist their clients achieve “their” version of success.

If you would like a no-obligation consultation with MGI Joyce|Dickson to learn how the SMSF team can assist you, phone 02 6162 2600 today to arrange an appointment.

news Sexism, safety, stability: key concerns of ACT women to financial and housing stress and rates of domestic violence.

“The report also shows that the capacity for women to maintain their housing tenure if their circumstances change, particularly as they age, is highly dependent on the nature of their existing tenure: 50% of survey respondents in the private rental market and 56% paying off a mortgage believed they would not be able to maintain tenure of their own if circumstances changed,” she said.

“The rates of physical, emotional, verbal or financial abuse in a domestic or interpersonal relationship are very concerning, if not surprising.”

Almost one in five (18%) of respondents said they had experienced physical, emotional, verbal or financial abuse in a domestic or interpersonal relationship in the past year, with higher rates for young women, women with a disability, and Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander women, at 24%, 18% and 33% respectively.

Ms Crimmins said the report goes a way to providing robust data to inform public policy and create positive change, developed as part of the YWCA Canberra’s 90th anniversary.

Safety, sexism and financial stability are key concerns facing Canberra women, according to YWCA Canberra’s Our Lives report, which surveyed a diverse group of 1,090 women aged over 18 across every postcode in the ACT. The results show that while more than half of Canberra women said they felt positive about their personal futures, an alarming number still experience sexism (half of all respondents said they had experienced sexism in the past year alone, 41% said it happened at work) and feel unsafe in public spaces (more than half of respondents feel ‘somewhat unsafe’ or ‘very unsafe’ when accessing public spaces after dark).

Money is a concern, too, with 46% of women aged 18-24 ‘stressed’ or ‘somewhat stressed’ about their financial stability, and 33% of those aged 25-34 ‘stressed’, ‘somewhat stressed’ or in ‘financial crisis’. Almost 60% of respondents who have called Canberra home for more than 10 years said they found it more difficult to live a comfortable life here today than a decade ago.

YWCA CEO Frances Crimmins said the results, while not particularly surprising, are concerning, particularly with reference

“The report provides insights into the daily lives and lived experience of women in every postcode in the Territory. The report draws on existing research and our survey of more than 1,000 diverse women to paint a picture of their hopes, fears, challenges and dreams.”

Ms Crimmins said YWCA intends to use the data to inform not only their own programs and services, but their advocacy for gender equality more broadly. She said YWCA continues to call on the ACT Government to implement a range of policies including respectful relationship education for school and university staff and students, collecting gender-disaggregated data on women’s safety, a new violence prevention strategy for women and children, and better reporting on the progress of the ACT Women’s Plan.

A spokesperson for ACT Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Women Yvette Berry said the Government will consider the findings from the report, along with other reports available and provided to Government from the sector, to help shape the next phase of the ACT Women’s Plan the Second Action Plan.

Councillor Overall said the council has also committed funds to ensure the event continues in Queanbeyan.

“Oktoberfest is a well-known, well-established and successful community event, which sits very nicely within the Queanbeyan Showgrounds and its surrounds,” he said.

Oktoberfest has been held at the Queanbeyan Showgrounds since 2017, when the Harmonie German Club, who has been running the event since 1962, moved the event over the border from Canberra.

Over 23 weeks, 102 individual homeless men stayed for a cumulative 1,129 ‘guest nights’ compared to 100 guests and 743 guest nights last year. In the additional three weeks of October 2019, this rose to 111 guests and 1,279 guest nights.

Safe Shelter reports that the shelters were full on 67 nights – more than one-third of the nights open – and 20 potential guests had to be turned away. A detailed report will be prepared for circulation in November.

IMB representative Emma Wright with Canberra PCYC general manager Stephen Imrie and the PCYC crew with the new trailer set to hit the streets from Friday 1 November.

Trailer to help youth on the streets Hitting the streets on Friday and Saturday nights, starting from Friday 1 November, a purposebuilt trailer is set to provide Canberra PCYC another avenue to engage with young people.

Canberra PCYC general

manager Stephen Imrie said the trailer will “provide us with an engagement tool to drop in on areas known to PCYC and police where there’s particularly large numbers of young people who are on the streets, some of

whom would be experiencing homelessness”.

“We know that there are over 400 young people experiencing homelessness in Canberra,” he said. “And we know often they are not getting access to the services that they need.”

Young people reported to be sleeping rough across the region is often due to family relationship breakdown or not feeling safe at home.

The trailer will be used to provide a hot meal, hot or cold drinks, information brochures from services available and “the opportunity to talk to a qualified youth worker and, through that, gain access to services”.

Mr Imrie said the trailer will be staffed by a minimum of two PCYC workers while other community organisations will provide qualified staff “such as health nurses that will join in and help with referral processes”.

The trailer was made possible through support provided by the IMB Community Foundation while support from the ACT Chief Minister’s Charitable Funds, distributed through Hands Across Canberra, is helping to fund staff.

In addition to the trailer, Mr Imrie said they are working with the Youth Coalition to get some more data on youth facing homelessness in Canberra, while Canberra PCYC has also put proposals in to government for a youth crisis and therapeutic support centre for those under 16 years of age.

Cheryl O’Donnell, executive manager for Canberra PCYC, said: “Our end goal is to have an accommodation therapeutic hub to support young people under 16, bringing in other services to ensure these young people receive appropriate support.”

news Are the Canberra Liberals a ‘credible threat’?

Coming up against 19 years of Labor government in the ACT and a broadly progressive electorate, ACT Opposition Leader, Alistair Coe, says the Canberra Liberals are a “very credible threat” at the 2020 election.

Mr Coe opened his address to the National Press Club, Countdown to October 2020, on Friday 25

ACT Opposition Leader, Alistair Coe, faces a tough task to win the 2020 ACT election against Labor, who has held government for the past 19 years.

October, the way many political campaigns commence, by stressing the capability of his team and questioning the competency of his opponent.

“Given the money, and 19 years of opportunity, the ACT should be Labor’s version of utopia, instead it resembles an episode of Utopia.”

Without going into the specifics of the policy agenda that will inform his 2020 campaign, Mr Coe’s address gave a broad strokes outline of how he will attack the key issues; including rates, public transport,

education, land supply, cost of living, small business, the public service and more.

In doing so, he predictably took pot shots at the government along the way.

“Andrew Barr has done more for the economic development of NSW than the NSW Government has. He may as well be the Mayor of Queanbeyan, because that city is thriving on the back of his policies,” Mr Coe said of Canberra’s rising housing costs pushing people across the border.

The task ahead of the Canberra Liberals

You’d have to wind the clock back to 1998 to find the last time the Canberra Liberals won the ACT election, having gone back-to-back in 1995 and 1998 with Kate Carnell at the helm.

Both of those Liberal governments were minority governments, with the support of independents.

There are currently no independents in the ACT Legislative Assembly, a factor making Mr Coe’s challenge more difficult.

In the entire history of the ACT’s self-government, there has only been one majority government, which was held by Labor in 20042008. Since the 2008 election, the ACT Greens have held the balance of power in the Assembly.

Currently, the Liberals hold 11 of the 25 seats in Canberra, and need to add two more to hold a majority of 13.

Greens MLA Caroline Le Couter retires at the next election, and

Labor minister Meegan Fitzharris retired earlier this year, which potentially creates opportunity for the Canberra Liberals.

Social conservatism in a progressive community It’s safe to say Mr Coe’s social opinions don’t marry well with the wider ACT electorate.

In the 2017 same-sex marriage plebiscite, it was widely reported that the ACT recorded the largest ‘yes’ vote in the country.

Conversely, Mr Coe was the only leader of opposition or government in Australia to publicly state they voted no.

Despite this, Mr Coe said he has respect for difference of opinion, and criticised the government for what he considers a lack thereof.

“There will be disagreements, there will be people who have a different worldview to me, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t respect them.

“The Chief Minister described people who voted no in that plebiscite as ‘Neanderthals’. I think it’s a legitimate position to vote no, just as I think it’s a legitimate position to vote yes.”

Coming up against the weight of history and Canberra’s broadly progressive electorate, Mr Coe closed his address on an optimistic note.

“We have the people, the resources and the opportunity to make this place even better … To be a Liberal in Canberra, you have to believe in miracles.”

news Maths teacher awarded for excellence

Maths teacher at Daramalan College, Thom Mutton, has been recognised with a Teacher Excellence Award from the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute.

Photo: Kerrie Brewer.

Having taught maths at Daramalan for the past 31 years, Thom Mutton realised his passion for teaching back when he was in school himself.

“It was Year 10. We were learning Euclidean geometry, and I found I could actually help my friends, and that really sparked my interest,” Mr Mutton says.

After briefly dabbling in engineering at university, which wasn’t bringing him much joy, he moved to teaching and hasn’t looked back once during his stellar 37-year career.

Mr Mutton was recently recognised as one of the finest in his field nationally by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute with a Teacher Excellence Award earlier in October. He humbly says the honour is an affirmation of Daramalan’s maths

department.

“They’re hardworking, dedicated, professional, and they love teaching so they tick all the boxes … there’s some really good people there.”

Mr Mutton was nominated for the award by his peers and colleagues, which he says means a lot to him.

“All the teachers know and they’ve been constantly congratulating me, and students will pass me in the hall and say ‘oh, congratulations sir’.

“It’s overwhelming, really. I’ve worked hard, tried my best all the time, and clearly now it seems like my best was okay … and that makes me happy.”

Having long been the coordinator of Daramalan’s maths department, Mr Mutton stepped down at the end of 2018 and

continues to work there part-time.

Mr Mutton says an aspect of his job that he loves is getting to work with very bright students.

“I really like the challenge of teaching students who are much cleverer than I am. I teach them every year, and quite relish that opportunity to mix it with the best kids.”

Since his career started back in the 1980s, Mr Mutton has firsthand insight into the way technology has completely transformed the way maths is taught.

“When I was at school we had log tables and no calculators …

When I started teaching we had calculators, then computers, now phones; that’s really revolutionised teaching, and has also come with a few problems,” he says.

humans of canberra Marathon man: Naden ready for New York challenge For seven years, Travis Naden has been chasing his marathon dream and on Sunday 3 November it will come to fruition alongside eight other members of the Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP) squad at the New York City Marathon.

Born and raised in Canberra, Wiradjuri man Naden saw the Running to America documentary on TV nearly 10 years ago and has been aspiring to be a member of the squad ever since.

This was his seventh year trying out for IMP and the persistence has finally paid off.

“I had the attitude of making the most of each opportunity and it (squad selection) came up every year,” he said. “It was about showing up and giving it a go.”

Naden, who is a third year apprentice electrician, said the most he had run before participating in the IMP was about 10km but “now I run that and more every day”.

The 28-year-old has spent the past six months training for the New York marathon and has completed four IMP camps across Australia

including a 15km run for Reconciliation Day in Canberra, a half marathon (21.1km) at the Gold Coast Marathon, the Sydney City2Surf (14km) and a final 30km time trial in Alice Springs.

He has also successfully achieved his Certificate IV in Sport and Recreation, his Level 1 Run Coaching qualification, First Aid certificate, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health First Aid certificate.

Looking to New York, Naden has an ambitious goal of a three-hour marathon but “if I can get under three and a half hours I would be happy”.

“My fiancée is coming along as well to see my running and be there at the finish line in New York.”

As to what’s next, Naden said “I am going to enjoy a little break” but he hasn’t ruled out further running. “We had a few people speak to us who have gone to bigger races or ultramarathons; maybe one of those.”

The IMP is the flagship program of Rob de Castella’s Indigenous Marathon Foundation (IMF).

Travis Naden, part of the Indigenous Marathon Project squad, will line up for the New York City Marathon on 3 November. Photo supplied by the Indigenous Marathon Foundation.

“These nine young men and women have been selected from over 190 applicants – our highest number of applicants ever,” de Castella said.

“This isn’t just us taking nine people over to New York to run a marathon. This is about the substantial effect each of those nine people has on their communities, and the people watching at home. The ripple effect IMP has on community is in the thousands. These young people are inspiring.

“The finish line is just the start line.”

Have you got a will?

Whether you’re 18 or 80, as soon as you have something to leave behind, it’s important to make sure that you have a legal Will in place. ills aren’t something we want to think about, but unfortunately, we need to. If you don’t have a current and legally sound Will in place, it could leave your loved ones with even more turmoil when you’re gone. And if it wasn’t for people’s inheritances, important organisations like those involved in cancer research, aged care, looking after abused children or abandoned animals wouldn’t be

Fortunately, making a Will could be a lot more affordable than you might think. And with that we don’t propose using a Will Kit or copying a friend’s Will – these might seem like a cheaper option, but because of technicalities it might not be legally binding and could cost you in the long run. Your best option is to have your Will drawn up by a specialist Law Firm or by the Public Trustee and Guardian.

A significant number of Australians die every year without having a Will.

They’re not here to make profits – they’re here to offer safe, affordable and reliable Trustee, Guardianship, Financial Management and Estate Administration services to our Territory.

Making a Will is a specialised task with complex fi nancial, legal and tax implications. Given the importance of this document, it is vital that it is prepared by an expert. PTG has a dedicated team of experienced solicitors and

estate administrators on board to assist you to make your Will.

PTG has more than 30 years’ experience and they’ve prepared over 13,000 Wills for residents of Canberra. They offer objective and impartial advice that will help avoid any potential confl ict. Their Will service is free to seniors of 60 year's and over, concession card holders and to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

sport Second half blitz stuns Vikings

At a glance Victory for PM’s XI The PM’s XI side claimed a one wicket win over Sri Lanka in their T20 match at Manuka Oval on 24 October. The PM’s XI chased down Sri Lanka’s 8-131 with one ball and one wicket to spare. Canberra local Djali Bloomfield finished with 2-17 off his three overs.

Ryan Lonergan runs the ball for the Vikings during their NRC Final loss to the Western Force on 26 October in Perth. Getty.

The Canberra Vikings will have to wait a little longer for their maiden National Rugby Championship crown, going down to the Western Force 41-3 on Saturday 26 October in Perth.

It was the Vikings’ third attempt to claim the title after reaching the decider in 2015 and 2017, and the visitors were well in the contest, trailing 7-3 at the break.

But the flood gates opened as the Force piled on five second-half

tries. Andrew Deegan added four conversions and one penalty to secure the Force’s victory in front of home fans.

The result also saw the Minderoo Foundation donate $600,000 to the 2019 Telethon Appeal in Perth. The Foundation had pledged to donate $100,000 for every try the Western Force scored in the final and $25,000 for every Canberra Vikings try to the appeal.

Distinct Property Management advertising moment

A new property management experience …

Canberra’s largest property management only real estate agency, Distinct Property Management is leading the way, putting customers first and introducing a dedicated Customer Experience (Cx) Manager.

Sakura Knezevic is Distinct Property Management’s Customer Experience Manager, working to ensure an enjoyable property management experience for both owners and tenants.

Distinct has enjoyed rapid growth and success over the past seven years, largely due to fantastic service and happy clients.

Distinct’s new Customer Experience (Cx) Manager, Sakura Knezevic, says her role is to build on the relationships between Distinct and their customers. The Cx Manager is a new and exciting role for the real estate industry in Australia and will provide a holistic approach to ensure every interaction with Distinct is one that will delight their customers.

“At Distinct, we service over 3,000 customers across Canberra and Queanbeyan including our owners, tenants, trades and service providers. Now is a great time for us to introduce this role to understand our customer’s needs, leading to a better overall experience that will contribute to our customer’s success,” she says.

Distinct has built their reputation around having a strong focus on customer experience, and this new role fi rmly demonstrates their ongoing commitment to this.

“The property management industry is really a ‘people industry’. We’re dealing with tenants’ homes, their families, safety and wellbeing.

We’re working with owners’ investments, their retirement plans and often their family home.

It’s important to understand our customers to ensure we are delivering an experience that

genuinely makes them feel like they are being listened to and looked after.”

With her experience, knowledge and qualifications in property management and real estate, Sakura says her role is to work across the business to ensure everyone who interacts with Distinct has an outstanding customer experience.

“We know, as a rapidly growing business, it is harder to maintain the highest levels of customer experience and that is why we are investing so heavily in our customer experience program. Our investment isn’t only in bringing on a Customer Experience Manager, we’re also investing heavily in products like SAP’s Qualtrics,” says Brooke Scullin, Principal Licensee and Owner of Distinct.

Brooke says “Distinct doesn’t have a lock-in contract with exit fees. We really believe that if someone’s not happy with our service and they want to leave, then we’re not doing enough to deserve their business. That’s our mindset: we want to make sure we’re doing everything that we can. We want to give our clients that ‘wow factor’, something unique from other real estate agencies.”

The Distinct difference: the role of Customer Experience Manager is unique in the ACT, and reflects Distinct Property Management’s growth and success over the past seven years.

Brooke says the creation of the Customer Experience program will see Distinct continue on their path of doing real estate differently.

“This program in itself hasn’t been something we’ve seen other agencies use or do,” Brooke says. “It will provide us fantastic insights into what our customers expect from us, how we are meeting those expectations and where we can improve. It’s the little things that matter, and this gives us a way to understand what those are.”

She says the new Cx program will have a flow-on effect in other areas of Distinct’s services, including services provided by third parties like trades.

“We want to ensure that tenants have a positive experience in all their interactions with Distinct. This includes leasing,

open homes, lease renewals, routine inspections and attending to maintenance. Sakura, in her role, and the technology we are using, will allow us to monitor and continually improve each of these experiences.”

Brooke says Distinct’s success over the past seven years has seen them grow to the largest property management only real estate agency in Canberra. Distinct is the second largest listing agent in Canberra by volume of new rental vacancies published and has a leasing (vacancy) period around half that of the industry average.

“We see ourselves as an industry leader and this investment is about setting us well apart from our competitors.

Imagine every time you dealt with your property manager it was a great experience, even when the news was bad … that’s our goal.”

Distinct Property Management is Canberra’s largest property management only real estate agency with a dedicated team of 14 staff servicing all suburbs across Canberra and Queanbeyan.

Summerfield Estate advertising moment

Summerfield Braidwood: Be amazed at the value Open day Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 November Breaking news! Recently, Summerfield Constructions completed their next stage of 12 ‘new design’ freehold over 55’s villas at Summerfield Braidwood. Be assured they look absolutely fabulous.

These three-bedroom, two-bath, two-car villas, all disabled compliant, have a beautiful enclosed balcony, a sun room on the master bedroom, walk-in robe, central air-conditioning and are solar powered.

At over 180 square metres each, the villas represent excellent value compared to Sydney and Canberra.

It is estimated that similar product in Canberra would be $900,000 and in Sydney $1.28 million. Most importantly, this genuine value is enhanced in that Summerfield villas are on their own piece of land and are all freehold, with no ghastly exit fees.

It is not a lease and when you sell, you keep all the proceeds. No deductions.

Looking through the 20-plus features and benefits of Summerfield certainly makes one consider ‘the value equation’ of this estate. From its unique country environment at historic Braidwood, this closeknit community of 56 villas has an

immense amount to offer.

The club house has been touted as offering the “best club house views in Australia”. The enclosed heated pool is ideal for aqua aerobics, and the arts and crafts centre caters to many different activities.

For those who don’t know Braidwood, it is a town that offers an extraordinary variety of things to do – from the picturesque golf course to restaurants, arts and crafts clubs and much more.

As to location in Braidwood, Summerfield is located only five minutes’ walk from the centre of town. Importantly, Summerfield is located right beside the hospital, which is undergoing a $50 million upgrade, incorporating an emergency facility and more highcare beds. Real value for the residents when on the other three sides is heritage listed farmland that can never be built out.

The rise of Braidwood as the ‘place to live’, the new Bowral or the new Berry, is well and truly balanced by Summerfield as not just a place to live but a place to love.

Barbecue bonanza Enjoy dinner in the garden with food writer Libby Kimber’s roundup of recipes perfect for a summer barbecue.

Smoky barbecue spare ribs The Barbecue Guide, New Holland Publishers, $24.99. Available from all good book retailers or online: newhollandpublishers.com Serves: 6-8 2 x 1kg racks ribs 120ml olive oil Rum and barbecue sauce 1 tsp olive oil 1 small onion, finely grated 2 garlic cloves, crushed 240ml tomato sauce 20ml soy sauce 1 tsp mustard powder 60g brown sugar 120ml spiced rum For the sauce, add the oil, onion and garlic to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the onion is transparent. Add all the remaining ingredients, except the rum, and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Remove from the heat, then add the rum and stir. Allow to cool. Note : Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.

Place the ribs in a large, non-metallic dish. Thoroughly combine the rum and barbecue sauce and the oil and liberally brush onto the ribs. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

2 Tbsp maple syrup Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper and arrange pumpkin in a single layer on the tray. Drizzle pumpkin with 1 tbsp olive oil and paprika.

Season with salt and pepper and bake for 30 minutes in the oven, or until tender.

When there are 5 minutes left for the pumpkin, sprinkle over the sage leaves and roast for a further 5 minutes or until sage is crisp and the pumpkin is ready.

While pumpkin is cooking, prepare a serving plate with the spinach leaves, walnuts, pepitas and goats cheese.

For the dressing, combine the remaining olive oil and maple syrup in a small bowl. Top salad with pumpkin and drizzle over dressing.

Take 2 large sheets of heavy-duty foil and place on a work surface. Place a rack of ribs on each. Generously cover both sides of ribs with extra marinade. Wrap into a double-folded parcel, making sure all joins are well sealed to prevent leakage. Carefully place the parcel onto a tray, taking care not to tear the foil. Refrigerate if not cooking immediately.

Prepare the barbecue for direct-heat cooking. Place a wire cake rack on the grill bars to stand 2.5cm above the grill. Place the foil parcels on the rack and cook for 10 minutes on each side, a total of 20 minutes. Move the parcel to a plate. Open the foil and discard. Lift the ribs onto the rack. Continue cooking and brush with extra relish, turning until ribs are well browned and crisp, this should take about 10 minutes.

Cut between the ribs to separate, pile onto a platter and serve immediately. You must eat these as soon as they are cooked otherwise they will become dry and tough.

The Makers & Shakers Market is a curated makers market that brings together people who care about where things come from, how things are made and what they are made of, with a focus on homewares, gourmet food and lifestyle products.

Saturday 2 November 10am3pm at the Old Bus Depot, Kingston. Entry: $2, u12s free; themakersandshakers.com.au

To find Australia’s best steak you only have to travel just over the border, to Queanbeyan’s Royal Hotel. After a nationwide search for Australia’s best pub meals, Yak Brewing handed down its verdict, awarding The Royal Hotel’s head chef Beat Ettlin the gong for ‘Australia’s Best Pub Steak’. Owner Anthony McDonald said the team is “honoured” to take home the title, and “stoked” to have their “humble little steak” recognised on the national stage. The Royal Hotel’s steak is currently featured at Melbourne pop-up restaurant The Hungry Yak until 6 November, alongside the other four winning dishes. 1,890 venues were nominated in the search by patrons, after which Yak hit the road with a team of judges to make the final decision.

Civic Square and the city at large will be DESIGN Canberra 2019’s central hub; with talks, entertainment, parties, performances, art, wellness and ideas taking place during the working week. Photo: Martin Ollman.

Capital becomes design utopia DESIGN Canberra, now an annual fixture in the diaries of many Canberrans, celebrates and promotes the national capital as a global city of design through a wide variety of exhibitions, talks, tours, markets, artist studios and open homes.

This year, over 200 events will run across town from 4 to 24 November as part of the sixth DESIGN Canberra Festival.

And with a record 112,000 people attending in 2018, there is something for all interests and ages, and most events are free.

This year’s festival will be driven by the overarching theme of ‘utopia’, which organisers see as “an opportunity to reimagine the past, build a more creative and inclusive present, and boldly experiment with the future of design”.

DESIGN Canberra is the major outreach activity of not-for-profit arts organisation, Craft ACT. So what’s on?

In addition to the popular signature events, such as open homes and artist studios, highlights of the 2019 program include: • Two temporary architecture installations, MEDUSA and Twin Minigagarin, by Berlinbased design team Plastique Fantastique. The transparent, lightweight and mobile shell structures relate to the notion of activating, creating and sharing public space and involving passers-by in its creative processes.

• Glass Utopia: Italian and Australian Glass will bring together contemporary glass pieces by Italian and Australian designers in a world class exhibition. This signature show will

celebrate the shared tradition in glass making between the two nations.

• Renowned Australian architect John Andrews will be recognised for his work with a guided bus tour showing his bold, brutalist designs. Comedian, architecture enthusiast and DESIGN Canberra favourite, Tim Ross, will also examine Andrews’ legacy with an exhibition, The Practical Outsider. Ross will also join Andrews in a public conversation to discuss his work and architectural legacy.

Inside and outside The opportunity to take a peek inside the beautiful homes of fellow design enthusiasts is irresistible, and festivalgoers will get the chance to do that with the return of the popular Living Rooms event.

This year, the event will also include in-house pop up exhibitions, with works on sale by local artists, makers and craft practitioners.

Heading outside, Civic Square will be DESIGN Canberra 2019’s central hub, as it’s transformed into a dedicated site for talks, entertainment, parties, performances, art and wellness programs during the week.

The centrepiece of Civic Square will be a large painted ground design decided by competition, and a temporary sculptural pavilion, designed

by University of Canberra’s Faculty of Arts and Design team.

Craft ACT CEO and Artistic Director, Rachael Coghlan, says the graphic and architectural installations will frame audience experiences at

the Civic Square festivities.

“Centrally located on the axis between City Hill and Mt Ainslie, we want to explore creative ways to reconnect Civic Square with the original vision of the Griffins’ plan.”

Designer-in-residence For the past three years, DESIGN Canberra has invited a local designer to create the look and feel of the festival aligning with the chosen theme.

Canberra contemporary jeweller, Phoebe Porter, is the 2019 designer-in-residence.

Porter created the 2019 signature artwork, Elements of Balance, in response to the festival theme of utopia.

Referencing the form of the crane, the work features two contrasting elements, gold and aluminium, of equal weight that balance each other perfectly.

“To me, utopia is a vision of the ideal way to live in an ideal environment,” Porter says.

“But there is a central tension embodied in that concept: striving to achieve a state of utopia requires the careful balance of competing values to attain a harmonious society and life.”

A groundswell of support In September, the festival announced it has received record support from sponsors across industry, retail, education, hospitality, property and government.

“We are heartened to receive the generous support of the ACT Government together with so many leading businesses across sectors,” says Coghlan.

At the same time, it was announced that the ACT Government will continue their existing arrangement to support the festival with $100,000 in 2020 and 2021.

CSO gets ready for Prom

cover story Conductor Geoffrey Castles put together the program for Prom, featuring a number of toe-tapping musical theatre favourites, with soloists Genevieve Kingsford and Simon Gleeson. Photo Kurt Sneddon.

The Canberra Symphony Orchestra’s Shell Prom is set to be a magical evening of musical theatre classics brought to life by the orchestra, with the help of some of Australia’s finest performers.

Conductor Geoffrey Castles tells Canberra Weekly that hearing the orchestrations of some of his favourite pieces performed in full flight will be very exciting.

“I’ve tried to select a program that won’t only appeal to the audience but be fun to play.

“With my career, orchestras tend to be on the smaller side, so to have the Canberra Symphony is really delightful and exiting for everybody.

“With all the Broadway hits, it should be a really lovely, crowdpleasing evening … Bring the family, bring a picnic blanket,” he says.

Having had a successful career in musical theatre that’s seen

him work as musical director on a number of large-scale touring productions, Castles says he put the program, which features numbers like Carousel Waltz, Meet Me in St. Louis’ The Trolley Song, Les Misérables’ Bring Him Home, and more, together himself with the help of soloists Genevieve Kingsford and Simon Gleeson.

“The whole idea is that we want to present something for all ages, all walks of life, and all interests. It’s finding a program that encompasses all of that using mainly the Broadway catalogue.

“We’ll feature material written across the entire 20th Century, including shows that have been turned into movies, with the earliest written song a Cole Porter work from the 1930s.

“On the other hand, we have material that’s opened on Broadway in the last few years,” he says.

While this is Castles’ first time working with the CSO, he says having worked with the two soloists before he’s confident it’ll be a magnificent show.

“I recently worked with Genevieve on an Australian production of Sweeney Todd … she played the role of Joanna and was absolutely beautiful in the role, I had wanted to work with her for a long time.

“Simon and I actually toured together in Les Mis; he played Jean Valjean.

“We toured together for nearly two years and, as tends to happen, we haven’t crossed paths since, so it’s really lovely to reconnect with him on this,” Castles says.

The CSO’s Shell Prom will be held at the Lawns of Government House, Yarralumla, Saturday 30 November 6pm; cso.org.au - Denholm Samaras

Curious is full of mathsbased life hacks. When have you applied maths in life to great benefit?

One of the things in the book is a maths theorem called optimal stopping, which is a really good framework to make a choice when you’ve got heaps of options.

For the first third of what you’re looking at, observe, but don’t make a choice. This establishes a baseline. From there onward, go for anything you see that outperforms the baseline.

This is your second book.

What did you learn from writing the first that made number two easier?

The first book was more or less comprised of puzzles I’d made up, so it was a much easier process.

In this book, I not only share life hacks through mathematically proven strategies, but it’s interwoven with stories from my life, so it was a completely different process. It took over a year to write.

How do you go about writing a book that’s both broadly accessible yet interesting to those with a passion for maths?

This is a series of maths-related facts I’d come across that I really

When did you decide to pursue a career in mathematics?

It wasn’t an a-ha moment. In hindsight, I can see the points that led me to this particular path. As a kid, I was really encouraged to pursue my natural instinct in the subject. At the end of high school, I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but everyone says do something you love, so I decided to study maths.

You sit on the advisory council of the Canberra icon, Questacon. What’s that like?

This is my second month as part of the advisory group; I’m brand new and I can’t tell you how excited I was when I got that call.

Whenever I’m in Canberra and have a few free hours, I get there.

It’s such a wonderful Australian institution that presents science in a really creative way, and I can’t wait to contribute to that.

time out Book talk Jeff Popple reviews three new non-fiction books about war, Elton John and feeding local birds. More of Jeff’s reviews can be found on his blog: murdermayhemandlongdogs.com Battle On 42nd Street by Peter Monteath NewSouth, $34.99

Professor Peter Monteath’s examination of the ANZAC involvement in the battle for Crete during the early years of World War II is one of the most readable accounts of war I have encountered in a long time. In clear prose, he tracks the retreat of the ANZACs through Greece and onto the island of Crete where they eventually faced a superior invading force of German airborne troops. The central focus of Monteath’s book is the fearsome bayonet charges which occurred during the fighting and the allegations that the ANZACs acted outside the rules of war; claims which he examines in a fair and convincing way. A terrific piece of historical writing.

Elton John by Terry O’Neill Cassell, $49.99

Famous portrait photographer Terry O’Neill started taking photos of Elton John in 1972 and, over the next 45 years, took in excess of 5,000 pictures of the singer, the best of which are gathered here. From simple portraits to intimate backstage shots to action photos of Elton performing at huge stadium concerts, they capture the rise of the iconic performer. There are also photos of his family and of him with fellow celebrities, including Eric Clapton, Billy Joel and even Miss Piggy.

This is a great record of his career and would make the ideal Christmas gift for all Elton John fans.

Millions of Australians feed wild birds in their gardens, often with little idea on how to do it and sometimes in ways which are harmful to the birds. In this handy book, behavioural ecologist Darryl Jones sets out comprehensive advice on how to feed local birds properly.

There are interesting profiles of the different types of Australian birds and advice on what to feed them and the best feeders to use. He also includes advice on how to create a bird-friendly garden. This is a useful and easyto-follow guide that provides great tips on how to attract more wildlife into our gardens.

Ready or Not (MA15+) The wealthy and elitist Le Domas family hosts a generations-long initiation of playing a deadly game of hide-and-seek at midnight on the wedding night of the family’s newest addition. Thirty years later, estranged son Alex (Mark O’Brien) returns to the family estate to marry his fiancée, Grace (Samara Weaving).

Canberra’s Weaving first graced the horror screen in Stan’s Ash vs The Evil Dead, playing an Australian hiker who runs afoul of said Evil Dead. Next up was Netflix’s The Babysitter, where again, Weaving played with type: a 1980s girl-next-door with a satanic twist. Here she is at full strength in a slasher-meetsCluedo game of cat and mouse.

Immediately we realise Grace has more than a little grit to her: using harsh language, smoking, and

being more than a match for her husband-to-be. We see, too, her want of a family, and understand her only fear is that of not being accepted.

Enter said twisted family with requisite toxic relationships and firm ties to a long-dead patriarch.

Alex’s mother Becky (Andie MacDowell) serves as matriarch to the family and a source of maternal love for Grace, whereas Alex’s conflicted and alcoholic brother Daniel (Adam Brody) serves as a kindred spirit. All bets are off, however, once the game is afoot!

Verdict: A darkly comedic and effective slasher which pays homage to the board games of old in a year where the closed room ‘whodunit’ (Knives Out and Clue remake) is coming back. An absolute star-turn from Weaving. 5 stars.

Timothée doesn’t shy away from a suit, and the Oscar nominee also knows his way around a bowtie and tie – we absolutely love it!

We love this silky smooth suit at the Venice Film Festival in September.

Looking polished as ever, Timothée ties the look together with a matching belt and some classy leather boots.

Attending the National Board of Review Awards Gala earlier in the year, he kept warm with this grey overcoat covering a red and blue tie, grey trousers and leather lace-up shoes.

Why not match with the red carpet?

Timothée rocks this red velvet suit over a black tee with his trademark boots; the perfect attire for the IFP Gotham awards in November 2017.

Olympian Felicity Galvez has launched a new campaign aimed at getting Canberra families to be active together. ‘FUNctional Families’ comprises two 10-week terms of 45-minute fitness classes, and has been designed to address a gap in participation activities in the ACT. Supported through the ACT Government’s Participation Innovation Fund, the program will be delivered at Galvez’s fitness studio, Galvanized Fitness. “It’s never too young to start exercising

and if it’s done in a safe and encouraging way it will have long term benefits,” she says. “The key to encouraging children to be active throughout their lives is to show them it’s a fun, normal part of life and to be active yourself. Research shows that a child’s level of physical activity rises by five to 10 minutes for every 20-minute increase in the physical activity of a parent.”

Spring and summer workouts How good is spring and summer?

Absolutely the best! The long summer days leading into great summer nights, playing in the pool and backyard cricket – it’s so Australian and we love it.

This week, let’s have a look at two workouts that will keep those arms and shoulders looking strong, that waist trim and those

legs toned. It’s also important to be sun smart and stay hydrated throughout the warmer weather.

With these workouts, you can combine them to have a ‘super workout’ for a whole-body burn, or you can focus on either the upper or lower body. Either way, you’ll still be getting an awesome workout.

Workout 1: upper body • Warmup: 5 mins rowing • 15 x triceps dips on bench • 15 x push-ups • 30 secs overhead punches, standing one leg forward • 15 x med ball slams • 15 x shoulder press with small med ball • 15 x bicep curls with small med ball • 1 min plank hold • 30 secs triceps hold, on bench • 30 secs front punches, hands at shoulder height • 2 mins rowing Workout 2: lower body • Warmup: 5 mins jogging • 20 x squats • 2 mins skipping • 20 x toe taps each leg, keep your foot and heel on the top of the bench • 1 min walking/jogging on the spot

Enhanced by a backdrop of the Brindabellas, Terroux is a garden of discovery waiting to be explored as part of Open Gardens Canberra on the weekend of 16-17 November.

Terroux: a garden of discovery WITH HOME EDITOR, ALLISON TURNBULL

With a garden that rambles and stretches over 10 acres, there is plenty to discover at Terroux, a 145 acre (60 hectare) property near Hall, ACT. Owned by Barbara Baikie and Peter Fletcher, the property will be open to the public as part of Open Gardens Canberra on the weekend of 16-17 November and you will want to give yourself ample time to explore.

From the immediate garden around the house to a pine nut plantation, labyrinth and a Japanese garden, the property offers plenty of inspiration. However, this wasn’t always the case.

“It was bare sheep country when we came here … there was about six trees on the whole 145 acres and I wanted to try and bring it back to life. The whole thing is about regeneration,” Peter says.

One of the biggest challenges has been the quality of soil – it is a heavy clay base that makes it difficult for trees and plants to become

established – but that hasn’t stopped Peter from planting thousands of trees, shrubs and flowers.

He says he aims to plant 1,000 trees a year as well as to improve the soil quality to make “the place carbon positive”.

With no access to town water, and a reliance on dam and rain water, Barbara says they had to choose plants that are essentially “selfsufficient” being very hardy, low-maintenance and requiring minimal amounts of water.

“We had to be careful about what we planted,” Barbara says. “We try not to water the garden too much,” utilising bark chips and mulch to help keep the moisture in.

The challenges of water have also inspired some creative thinking when it comes to water features, with most of the fountains on the property including underground wells to reduce evaporation.

Many of the water fountains also provide

Sculptural pieces are scattered throughout the gardens, including this quirky water feature by John Payne which adds interest whether on or off.

points of interest working as sculptural art pieces if turned off, with a particular favourite (for this writer at least) the whimsical Mad Hatter-esque teapot feature by John Payne.

There are quite a few of his ceramics around the garden, which Barbara says is because “we love his style and quirkiness”.

The teapot sculpture is just one of many features found in the garden ‘rooms’ around the house, which also include a secret garden with a traditional fountain; a reflection pool; an enclosed garden full of Mr Lincoln roses; and a dry creek bed.

Further afield, the extended garden evolves into parklike areas with three dams each of different design and plantings – one flows over to a wetland, another has a terraced garden, and the thrid has a Japanese garden.

A lot of the gardens are symbolic with plant choice carefully curated. The property also features memorial gardens and a number of dedicated trees for family and friends, which Peter says they get to choose themselves.

If they choose poorly for the climate and conditions at Terroux, Peter says it provides an added challenge. (continued next page) 63

Family is highlighted at Terroux with dedicated and memorial gardens.

(from previous page) “If they do that, I’d have to work harder to keep it alive and thriving,” he smiles.

Peter and Barbara moved into their home in 2006 and despite the extensive gardens already created, say there is plenty they would still like to do.

According to Peter, the Japanese garden is still “in embryo” while highlighting several areas prime for landscaping and plantings in the coming years.

“It is a labour of love but

people often say there is a sense of calmness and peace here,” Barbara says. “We wanted to create a place of peace and harmony.”

Terroux is located at 88 Rochford Road, Wallaroo NSW. It is advised not to use GPS to find the location as it may lead you astray.

Terroux will be open as part of Open Gardens Canberra on the weekend of 16-17 November 10am-4pm daily. There will be morning and afternoon teas available for purchase.

It’s time to lavish some rejuvenating attention on your citrus. Citrus generally only require minimal pruning: to remove dead, diseased, crossing or congested branches; to restrict their height, or to remove wayward branches.

Spring citrus care 101 Citrus are sun-loving creatures, who find our cold winters a season to be endured. Now the weather is balmy and to their liking, it’s high time to lavish some rejuvenating attention on these much-loved plants.

Apply a moderate layer (3-5cm) of organic matter as a slowrelease fertiliser to the soil’s surface. Wherever possible, avoid disturbing the existing soil profile to maintain structure and to avoid damaging shallow surface roots. Products such as compost or well-rotted manure release nutrients gradually and help build healthy soils.

Mulch levels can be topped up to at least 10cm to protect the soil from fluctuations in temperature and significantly reduce evaporation. Avoid plant stems, however, to prevent disease and

other humidity-related issues.

Apply soil conditioners such as comfrey tea or seaweed extract every few weeks to increase their resilience to heat, wind and other extremes.

Comfrey contains much-needed nutrients including potassium, nitrogen, protein, calcium, magnesium, iron and silica – all in high demand when citrus are flowering and fruiting.

Avoid leaving ripe fruit on bushes for prolonged periods as this draws much-needed nutrients from the plant. A bumper crop is also heavy and could cause branches to drop in wet or windy weather.

It is common for citrus to suffer from nutrient deficiencies

such as magnesium and some other trace elements, so it’s worth applying a trace element fertiliser as directed in the growing season.

Citrus generally only require minimal pruning – to remove dead, diseased, crossing or congested branches; to restrict their height, or to remove wayward branches. Use quality secateurs and cut on a 45-degree angle, slightly above an outward facing bud.

How should I water?

Water is a precious resource, so it’s a no-brainer that we should be watering our gardens as efficiently as possible. The following are some strengths and limitations of common watering methods.

Hand watering • Because we are physically spending time in the garden when watering by hand, we are more likely to notice individual plants and issues such as drying out or waterlogging, pest and disease outbreaks, and nutritional imbalances.

• Hand watering gives us the ability to cater to an individual plant’s watering needs.

• A quick hand water on a stinking hot day can mean the difference between the life and death of a plant.

Drawbacks: It is difficult to know exactly how much water we are applying when hand watering; could it be too little or too much?

Hand watering is time consuming – one could spend hours each week watering over the summer months.

Portable overhead sprinklers

A traditional sprinkler is handy for lawn areas, but is a very inefficient use of water.

• They are portable, handy for lawn areas and much favoured by birds.

Drawbacks: Can cause sunburn and humidity-related pest and disease issues. Very inefficient use of water – a classic round sprinkler, which has a coverage of 10m diameter uses around 1,410 litres of water per hour.

Dripper irrigation systems • Dripper systems discharge water slowly and over a large area, equating to maximum absorption and efficiency.

There is next to no evaporation (especially if it’s installed under mulch), you prevent humidityrelated pest and disease problems, and it’s a huge time saver.

Drawback: Initial outlay can be expensive.

LJ Hooker Kippax’s Jenna Dunley represented the ACT at the 2019 Australasian Real Estate Institute Auctioneering Championships, as the first female finalist in the competition’s history.

At the event on 22-24 October in Melbourne, Dunley was also the only Canberra finalist among an all-Australian line-up of auctioneers, after no one from New Zealand qualified for the final round.

Competitors were required to ‘mock sell’ a property, with a panel of judges naming Queensland’s Justin Nickerson the winner

for a third time. Alec Brown from Ray White Canberra also competed in the event.

“Devised bidding processes test the auctioneers’ aptitude, attention and ability to think on their feet and to be successful, competitors have to deal with a wide range of testing questions and unpredictable bids,” said Real Estate Institute of Australia president, Adrian Kelly.

“Combining skill, professionalism and technical knowledge, the candidates are highly accomplished, high-energy performers.”

Representing the ACT at the 2019 Australasian Real Estate Institute Auctioneering Championships, Jenna Dunley of LJ Hooker Kippax was the first female finalist in the competition’s history.

Ginninderry awarded for sustainability Three projects associated with the Ginninderry development were recognised at the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) (ACT) Awards for Planning Excellence, praising the development’s approach to sustainability.

The ‘From Plan to Place’ and ‘Hard Won Victory’ awards went to developer Riverview Projects and the Suburban Land Agency for the Link Building and the all-electric Ginninderry suburb of Strathnairn respectively, and Riverview Projects’ Susan Davis took home the Public Engagement and Community Planning award.

Ginninderry is a joint venture between Riverview Projects and the ACT Government, and is Canberra’s first six-star rated Green Star development. Approximately 11,500 dwellings are expected at Ginninderry over the next 37 years, while the first suburb of Strathnairn is set to have around 1,500 dwellings.

PIA ACT president, Ian Wood-Bradley, said for those involved in all the award-winning projects, “their work was contributing materially to the

creation of more sustainable and prosperous communities in the ACT”. The awards recognise leading practice, leadership and achievement in planning across eight categories.

Ginninderry was awarded amongst the other winners: City Renewal Authority, Spaced Out Placemakers, Place Laboratory, Town Team Movement, Complete Constructions (Aust) Pty Ltd, Sweet Potato, Threesides Marketing, Co-Design Studio, Right Angle Studio, Oculus, Tait Network, University of Canberra, Ainslie & Gorman Arts Centre, and Dionysus for the community-led renewal for Braddon, Dickson and Haig Park; the Environment Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate for the ACT Planning Strategy 2018 and the Demonstration Housing Project; Professor Edward J. Blakely and the University of Canberra’s Richard Hu for their book Crafting Innovative Places for Australia’s knowledge economy; and Poppy McRae PIA (Assoc) for Young Planner of the Year.

Ginninderry’s first suburb, Strathnairn, is set to have around 1,500 dwellings centred on a community recreation park.

Mawson tenants The first tenants have moved into the ACT Government’s new public housing in Mawson. Tenants moved into eight twobedroom homes, which have been specifically designed and built to support those with a disability, and allow ageing in place.

Housing Minister Yvette Berry said the properties have achieved a 7-star energy rating to help tenants save energy and reduce utility and living costs.

R E A L E S TAT E

Cool in Coombs Coombs 8 Alcorso Vista Constructed in 2016, this fourbedroom home is a unique, solarpassive design in the Molonglo Valley suburb of Coombs.

With four bedrooms and three bathrooms spread over three levels, this home was designed specifically for the block it sits on, and boasts a raft of inclusions as well as a 6.0 Energy Efficiency Rating (EER).

“What makes this property so special is the amazing natural light which streams into all parts of the home due to its northerly orientation,” says Badenoch Sales/ General Manager Symon Badenoch.

The current owners say they made use of materials such as recycled bricks – including some from their great grandmother’s chimney – and timber throughout, and say the ideal buyer will appreciate the home’s solar passive design and want to live somewhere

that marries functionality and character.

“We tried to avoid making decisions about the design of our home based on what someone else might want if we ended up selling our home. I think this has resulted in the creation of something that is truly unique – and quite hard to find in the suburbs of Canberra.”

As well as enjoying views of the local park, the Molonglo River corridor and Black Mountain Tower, 8 Alcorso Vista boasts a fully insulated concrete slab, double-glazed windows, eaves to maximise winter sun and minimise summer sun, and a layout that allows cross-flow ventilation. There’s also hydronic in-slab heating and an evaporative water cooler for year-round comfort and insulated internal walls.

“Our energy bills come in around

half of what the average Canberran is spending each year - and if we’re honest, we are not really trying hard (enough!) to reduce our consumption. This house gives anyone who wants to reduce their impact on the planet (and their energy bills) a great place to really make a difference,” the owners say.

Families will love the functional, open-plan layout, with three separate living areas and kitchen with quality appliances and walkin pantry. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining area boasts high ceilings, exposed timber beams, recycled-brick features and a polished concrete floor with pebbles from Jugiong River.

Both the master bedroom and the segregated fourth bedroom come complete with ensuites.

Outside, entertaining is a breeze with access from the living

area to the alfresco space and beautifully maintained gardens. A double garage with internal access completes the picture of this truly unique home.

Located in popular Coombs, close to Charles Weston School and other amenities like Stromlo Forest Park, this home seamlessly marries unique design and location.

Nørrebro A cultivated community Watson Corner of Negus Crescent and Aspinall Street The Nørrebro development in Watson places community at its core, with careful planning allowing for a community centred village with outdoor spaces and sustainable design.

“Nørrebro was born from the concept that, when planned properly, outdoor areas have the ability to cultivate a community,” says LJ Hooker Project Marketing ACT’s development manager, James Herbert.

“Residents will be able to walk to corner cafes and grocers then mingle with neighbours as they gather for markets and entertainment in the central forecourt. Spread over a hectare, Nørrebro’s outdoor space also includes pocket parks, community gardens, tree lined avenues, picnic

grounds and barbecues. The different areas, with open and sheltered spaces, will make sure there is somewhere to enjoy in all of Canberra’s seasons.

Nestled within the Nørrebro grounds are 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments, as well as 3- and 4-bedroom townhouses, “all with high ceilings, floorplans that maximise space and light and exemplary fittings and fixtures,” that Hebert says will suit a variety of households.

“First home buyers and downsizers alike will appreciate the connected community, lifestyle and character of the development,” Herbert says.

“For people currently renting in Gungahlin and Belconnen, Nørrebro presents a fabulous

opportunity to move to an established suburb closer to the city with a wonderful lifestyle.”

In the inner-north location of Watson, Nørrebro is situated under 8km from the city centre, and minutes to the hubs of Dickson and Braddon. Residents will also enjoy the proximity to Mount Majura, EPIC and the weekly farmer’s markets and Watson Shops.

“Nørrebro really does have a beautifully unique mix of bush and urban lifestyle,” Herbert says.

“There is every opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural environment and run or walk amongst the Eucalypts through the [Mount Majura] reserve”.

“Nørrebro will appeal to people who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle and also value easy access to dining and social activities.”

An immaculate abode Wright 53 David Fleay Street Family living doesn’t get much more stylish than at 53 David Fleay Street.

This four-bedroom home in Wright is packed with contemporary design and features, while maintaining a functional layout and ample living space.

“The home is suited to a young family or someone who loves to entertain,” says LJ Hooker Weston Creek General Manager and Senior Sales Consultant, Jane Kusetic.

“Located on one level, the home is also perfect for an older couple who still want plenty of space for entertaining the family.”

Enjoying views across to Black Mountain, this property is made for entertaining both outside and in, with the gourmet kitchen boasting stone benchtops, sixburner gas cooktop, breakfast bar, large island bench and ample cabinetry for storage. Outside, the covered alfresco entertaining area features an outdoor kitchen.

“The owners have made it a home,” Kusetic says, “with greenery from every window, low-maintenance landscaped gardens, alfresco area with outdoor kitchen, ample storage and open plan living perfect for family time”.

The large open plan kitchen, living and dining area provides flexibility for the modern family, and features a sophisticated sunken lounge area with wood flooring.

The king-size master bedroom is a perfect parents’ sanctuary, segregated at the front of the home, with a walk-in robe and ensuite with double vanity and rain shower. The remaining three bedrooms all come with built-in robes, and are serviced by the home’s main bathroom with spa bath and separate toilet.

Further features in this immaculate home include roller blinds, built-in study desk, alarm

system, ducted reverse-cycle heating and cool and ducted vacuum. Outside, the landscaped, easy-gardens come complete with sprinkler system and an external shed.

Kusetic says this an excellent opportunity for the new owners to become a part of the new Wright community, as well as being walking distance to local playgrounds and enjoying the property’s views across to Black Mountain and Parliament House.

Toy Story

Saturday, 9GO!, 5.15pm, G (1995)

John Lasseter’s landmark effort won the hearts of kids and parents easily – by dazzling them with brilliant computer graphics and warming their hearts with well-rounded characters voiced by Tinseltown stars. Based on the premise that toys have their own lives when their owners are away, top of the toy box tree is Sheriff Woody (voiced by Tom Hanks).

Friday

pick of the week The Bourne Identity Monday, 7MATE, 8.30pm, M (2002)

After decades of spy thrillers involving girls, gadgets and little else, the genre received a shot in the arm from director Doug Liman courtesy of this adaptation of the Robert Ludlum bestseller. The riveting yarn kicks off with the discovery of amnesiac Jason Bourne (Matt Damon, pictured) by a crew of Italian fishermen.

Toy Story 2

Sunday, 9GO!, 6.30pm, G (1999)

The seemingly infallible whizzes at Pixar followed up the resounding success of Toy Story with this equally inspired sequel, which finds the inseparable toy duo of wooden cowboy Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) and spaceman Buzz (voice of Tim Allen) thrown apart when Woody is snatched by a crazed toy collector.

You could not wish for a richer movie experience than what Pixar have cooked up here: from the stunningly realistic animation, ingenious new characters, and frequent movie spoofs. >i<

celebrity birthday THANDIE NEWTON

6 November 1972 The coming 12 months begin with an emotional start for Thandie when her two ruling planets, warrior Mars and Pluto, ruler of the underworld, collide. But she can be confident knowing the best times are yet to come. In both her love life and her professional career, communication will be intense and there will be no mincing words. When Mercury retrograde ends on 20 November, this should result in a more harmonious exchange of ideas and feelings.

Getty

in the stars ARIES 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

Are you ready for romance, Aries?

Good, because it’s happening in November. You might consider taking your relationship to the next level. On the work front, watch out for petty annoyances. You’re being asked to look at the big picture in order to achieve long-lasting professional success.

Stay above the drama this month by avoiding confrontation where possible. People might get on your nerves this week. You have full permission to hide in your crab shell.

Do come out soon, though, as someone in your love life makes you want more than you knew you needed.

Watch out for Wednesday 5 November. Warrior planet Mars is in your sign and squares Pluto, ruler of the underworld, which is currently in ambitious Capricorn. As a result, you’ll experience clashing egos and power struggles. Wait until the storm has passed before you ask for anything major, such as a raise.

Your instructions are simple this month, Capricorn. Let go of nostalgia and look to the future, especially when it comes to your career. Sentimentality could be holding you back. Don’t fear the unknown. It’s time for an adventure.

Do your best to stamp out your insecurities and stay in the present.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY

The sun shines brightly on your career this month. You will have many opportunities to show off that Leo charm with fresh new faces. The planets will light a fire under any creative or professional endeavours you’re working on. Just double check spelling as Mercury retrograde is in effect.

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB

Professionally, you may feel like you’re fighting for your worth, only to be shut down by others who are too busy to hear you out. Ask for what you want at work, because it’s time for boldness and confidence. If you’re single, ask your crush out on a date.

November asks you to do something difficult for you: Relax. Do not feel bad about needing sexual chemistry in your relationship, Scorpio, it’s as important as you believe it to be.

Soon, communication will be intense, and there will be no mincing words.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC

Before you commit to any longterm projects or people, make sure you have the full picture. Keep a notebook handy, as you’ll likely come to some stark realisations regarding wealth and money. If someone you care about is placing demands on you, let them know you need space.

The planets are creating a fruitful environment for artistic expression this month. Even if you’re not in a creative field, you can still use your imagination to score points in your career. You’re a fabulous multitasker, but once in a while, you could benefit from slowing down.

October leaves you manifesting professional projects and triplechecking work emails due to Mercury retrograde. Mercury retrograde ends in November, but there’s some Scorpio season intensity to navigate first. Try to just let things be what they are and enjoy what’s in front of you.

October leaves you with travel on the mind, which is one of your signature activities. November has you craving deep connections. If you’re single and looking, try not to become despondent. Rather, look around you and see all the loved ones you already have to be grateful for.

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR As long as you remember that you deserve good things, the future looks strong for romantic partnerships.

Professional advancement is at your fingertips in November but you have to go after it. Don’t be afraid to be selfish and concentrate on yourself this week.

My favourite things

BATS

I’m batty about these darling little critters. Everything about them – their sonar, furry bodies, leathery wings, rat-like faces, sharp teeth and claws, sleeping upside down – they’re sublime. What’s not to love?

BLOOD It’s literally my lifeblood.

Can’t live without it.

GRAVEYARDS At home and on holidays, I love to visit the local graveyards, cemeteries and burial sites. I think it reveals much about the local culture to see how the living treat their dearly departed.

MY COFFIN Wherever I lay my head, that’s my home.

Count Dracula Legendary vampire

According to Wikipedia, the expression ‘Dracula’, which is now primarily known as the name of a fictional vampire, was for centuries known as the sobriquet of Vlad III. Diplomatic reports and popular stories referred to him as Dracula, Dracuglia, or Drakula already in the 15th century.

Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author, Bram Stoker. It introduced the character of Count Dracula, and established many conventions of subsequent vampire fantasy. Bram Stoker’s vampire, a Transylvanian count who turns into a bat, sleeps in coffins and drinks the blood of the living, is the quintessential horror villain. Halloween (31 October) is his favourite day of year and he’s especially fond of full moons.
