This week... Hello, dear readers. Just checking in again to see how you’re faring in our strange new world. As I write, the ACT has clocked up more than three weeks of no new cases of you-know-what. It appears we’ve largely dodged a bullet and done a remarkable job in managing the spread of it-that-shallnot-be-named. Well done us. Lately, there have been widespread, if tentative, sighs of relief as our community starts opening up again, step by step. Kids are back at school, remote workers are returning to workplaces, shops and businesses that were closed are reopening, the toilet paper crisis of March is a fuzzy memory … As well as physical distancing and good hygiene, some wags have been sharing other tips to help us through isolation, like this: “Please take your clothes out regularly, air them out and allow to stand in sunlight. Recent studies show that if clothes are kept in closets over lockdown, they shrink.” Mind you, I’ve heard some folk have flourished in relative isolation, having more time to spend outdoors (walking, cycling, pottering) and to prepare healthy, home-cooked meals. Let’s hope any beneficial habits nurtured during isolation continue – and any negatives are dropped like they’re hot. Reasons to be grateful this past week include homecooked meals, pottering, fresh feijoas, reconnecting with friends and legally dining out at a restaurant for 10.

news ACT’s ‘roadmap’ to ease COVID-19 restrictions released The ACT’s hospitality venues will be welcoming more customers, people will be back pumping iron in gyms, beauty salons will reopen, as will galleries and museums from Saturday 30 May. On Tuesday 26 May, the ACT Government released Canberra’s Recovery Plan, an “easing of restrictions roadmap” outlining how the Territory will move out of the COVID-19 restrictions. The plan lays out timeframes for reopening of businesses, services, and activities in the coming weeks and months. From 11.59pm this Friday 29 May, the ACT will move into Step 2.1, which will allow cafes, bars, restaurants and clubs to cater for up to 20 people in each enclosed space. If a venue has multiple enclosed spaces, they can have multiple groups of 20 patrons. Some large venues in the ACT with multiple enclosed indoor and outdoor spaces, like the Hellenic Club and Southern Cross Club, may be able to cater for 150 patrons or more under these arrangements. Beauty therapy businesses, including nail salons, tanning and waxing services, day spas (including massage) and tattoo businesses

can reopen as long as strict hand hygiene requirements are observed and physical distancing is obeyed where plausible. Indoor gyms and fitness centres will also begin gradually reopening their businesses. Small, supervised indoor group fitness sessions and classes will recommence, with a maximum of 20 people to an enclosed space or one person per four square metres. Step 2.1 will also include the reopening of galleries, museums, and cultural institutions, with no premises exceeding the one person per four square metre rule, including staff. The social gathering size limit will increase from 10 to 20 as long as physical distancing requirements are met. ACT Chief Health Officer, Dr Kerryn Coleman, said the ACT has tried to give a wide range of openings to all sectors within the community. “It comes down to a consideration of the cumulative risk across multiple different sectors and multiple different venues and how we are choosing within the ACT to deliver on that,” she said. Step 2 will be a two-step process that

will allow for larger gatherings and a reopening of a wide range of businesses and facilities including gyms, beauty and nail salons, and allow the recommencement of sport and dance activities, in particular those activities that can now take place indoors. By 19 June, if the ACT remains in a good position, the Territory will move to Step 2.2 where restrictions will ease further. “As we progress through stages, monitoring for triggers to indicate a need to slow down which would be an increase in cases in our surrounding regions, in surrounding NSW, or a significant decline in compliance and in the ability of people and businesses to implement physical distancing,” Dr Coleman said. Canberra Liberals leader Alistair Coe welcomed the ACT Government adopting a tailored reopening of Canberra’s hospitality sector, as he suggested earlier this month, but said that approach should be applied more broadly.

Hughes Preschool grows community spirit

Residents of St Andrews Village can look forward to a little slice of Floriade in spring after Hughes Preschool students planted some bulbs on Tuesday 26 May.

canberraweekly.com.au

The weather was cold and gloomy but there were plenty of reasons to smile as students from Hughes Preschool set about planting some Floriade bulbs for residents of St Andrews Village. The Preschool successfully applied for an allocation of spring annuals and bulbs to plant and grow in their local community as part of Floriade: Reimagined. Preschool teacher Susan Jones said that earlier in the year students had taken home a bulb as part of their remote learning. It was while researching how to care for bulbs to assist her students that she came across Floriade: Reimagined. She said the preschool had already planned on building a connection with St Andrews pre-COVID-19. This project provided an ideal opportunity for the preschool to reconnect with the community as well as teaching students to “think beyond themselves and do something for others”. The students filled four planter boxes on

Tuesday 26 May, as well as treated residents to a rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. For St Andrews resident Barbara Oom, it “was lovely” to see the youngsters and for them to “want to bring us flowers”. “Things have been a bit quiet here,” she said. “We definitely have had isolation and (social) distancing … so it was very nice to see the children. It’s lovely that they want to come and do this.” While Barbara said it is a pity Floriade can’t be held this year, she is looking forward to a little slice appearing at St Andrews – “as long as the tulips were planted the right way up,” she smiled. In addition to planting the bulbs at St Andrews, Hughes Preschool will also be planting at the Preschool, where staff recently planted a community orchard while students were away, and Home Ground at the Hughes shops. - Allison Turnbull

news Connect over a cuppa Cancer Council ACT is encouraging the local community to connect over a cuppa for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea today (Thursday 28 May) and join thousands across Australia in support of those affected by cancer. Long-term cancer survivor Tahnee Bass will be celebrating her 33rd birthday on 28 May, the official date of Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, and will be hosting her fifth consecutive morning tea at work with her colleagues. As her work eases back into having more people in the office, Ms Bass said she will host her morning tea when there will be the most staff in the office, abiding by COVID-19 restrictions, while also encouraging other staff to ‘attend’ via video link. This year, she is dedicating the event to her mother-in-law who passed away last year after a four-year battle with pancreatic cancer. She said now more than ever it is important to help find a cure. “This [COVID-19] could be what we are living with for a while,” Ms Bass said. “For those going through treatment it is a terrifying time for them.

You couldn’t leave your house without fear of what’s out there. It’s time to find a cure.” Ms Bass knows all too well the challenges and fears that come with not just one cancer diagnosis, but two. She was diagnosed with Leukaemia in 1999, when she was 11 years old, followed by a secondary cancer in her thyroid discovered in 2004. She is now cancer-free. Every year, on average 1,600 people in the ACT are diagnosed with cancer and sadly 500 people die from the disease. Every dollar raised through Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea will help fund Cancer Council ACT’s support services, prevention programs and important life-saving research. Cancer Council ACT CEO, Sandra Turner, said “while it isn’t the time to be gathering in large groups, there are still ways people can connect and make a real difference to those affected by cancer”. “Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a great opportunity to get innovative and find new ways to ‘come together’ as a community, even though we’re apart. I encourage all Canberrans to have a

news Sparrow-Folk singing song of thanks Musical comedy duo Sparrow-Folk usually play for laughs, but their latest project has a greater purpose – thanking frontline workers for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was completed in about three weeks. ‘Thank You’ was released on Monday 25 May alongside a video clip featuring members of the community including frontline workers and politicians from the ACT and Newcastle, where one half of Sparrow-Folk, Cathy Crowley, now lives. “We knew we weren’t the only people who wanted to do more, so we reached out to our community to contribute and were flooded with responses,” Cathy said. “I think people just wanted to do something.” The iso-filming project saw members of the community share short video clips featuring messages of thanks while frontline workers were also asked to contribute. “We wanted to be able to highlight them in our film clip,” Cathy said. “We just wanted to show how grateful we are for those frontline workers. Some are doing amazing work and they are just inspiring.”

The video clips were compiled together by the other half of Sparrow-Folk, Juliet Moody, who is still based in Canberra. Because some submissions were filmed on different devices, Cathy said “there were some thank-you’s we couldn’t use because of technical difficulties” but “we will put them up on Facebook when we have the time”. “We usually do comedy, but for this we decided to write a serious song to sincerely thank the frontline workers who are tirelessly working in our local community,” she said. The song ‘Thank You’ was inspired by Cathy’s time in isolation after she had interacted with someone who might’ve had contact with COVID-19. The experience made her think of those on the frontline. “I was desperate to do something that was more than writing a letter saying thank you,” she said. Cathy penned the song and, with Juliet, “refined it together over Zoom with wine”. “It’s had such good feedback. Lots of people are incredibly grateful and some have used it as a way to thank people they know,” Cathy said.

Comedy duo Sparrow-Folk, Juliet Moody and Cathy Crowley, have released a song thanking frontline workers for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Image supplied.

Meantime, Sparrow-Folk are also using this time to navigate creativity and the tyranny of distance. “We are learning how to perform with each other across borders,” Cathy said. “It has been more of an exploratory time for us.” To listen to Sparrow-Folk’s song thanking frontline workers, visit youtu.be/7iQyYKq1rkw - Allison Turnbull

news Reconciliation Day activities Practical workshops – Caring for Country, and Understanding Bush Tucker – form part of the online engagement and family-friendly activities as part of this year’s Reconciliation Day. The ACT Reconciliation Day public holiday is held each year on the first Monday on or after the 1967 Referendum anniversary date of 27 May, which marks the start of National Reconciliation Week. While Reconciliation Day (Monday 1 June) will be different this year, ACT Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, Rachel Stephen-Smith, said it is still a great opportunity for Canberrans to come together in the spirit of Reconciliation. “The 2020 National Reconciliation Week theme ‘In this together’ is particularly fitting given the year we are all experiencing and the need to get through this difficult time together. “It also reflects our shared journey of Reconciliation, truth

telling and valuing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories. The theme is about us being strong together and strengthening partnerships between individuals and communities built on trust and respect, free of racism and discrimination.” Activities available to Canberrans during Reconciliation Week include: Postcards being delivered to all Canberra households by late May. Write a pledge of Reconciliation on the postcard and share your message online using #ReconciliationDayCBR; Tuning into the Events ACT YouTube channel on Reconciliation Day to watch practical workshops: Caring for Country, and Understanding Bush Tucker; and preparing a creative submission responding to the ‘In This Together’ theme; or, for younger family members, downloading colouring worksheets.

Parc: a suburban sanctuary Conveniently located in the soughtafter inner Belconnen suburb of Macquarie, Parc by Morris Property Group is home to a range of two- and three-bedroom apartments and three- and fourbedroom villas. Now complete, Parc Macquarie offers a quality location, and a range of new floor plan options, being popular when originally selling off plan, and boasting four furnished display apartments and villas, all available for inspection. “Parc is a leading example of how medium-density developments can create a new style of suburban home without losing the sense of community we associate with suburban living,” says Colliers International Canberra associate director,

residential, Nectaria Moutafis. “We are finding Parc is very attractive to live-in owners, including downsizers, and that a very strong community environment is being created. People already living in Parc have shared stories of regular catch-ups being arranged (before COVID restrictions) and support systems being established. With just 74 apartments and 23 villas, Parc is a boutique development where residents know who their neighbours are and stop to say hello,” she says. “Designed with owner occupiers in mind, all homes at Parc include generous living spaces, well thought-out floorplans and abundant amounts of storage space.”

news Participation in the New York Marathon is highly unlikely for this year’s Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP) squad due to the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the positive message of healthy living is set to continue. The flagship program of the Indigenous Marathon Foundation (IMF) is now in its eleventh year but this year it comes with a difference – an intense virtual program which will include physical training, completing timed running events, and education such as a Certificate IV in Business through AFL Sports Ready. Yet it also comes with an added bonus – the ability to include more participants. IMF founder and director, Rob de Castella, said given they will not have all the travel and camps associated with the IMP program this year, “it gives us an opportunity to provide that experience to a few more participants”. Instead of the usual 12 participants, this year 16 young Indigenous men and women representing most states and territories, except the ACT and Tasmania, have been selected to participate. “Each year, we get more and more applicants,

and we see our footprint grow across the country,” de Castella said. “It’s a life-changing experience, not just for the selected few who get to participate, but for their families, friends and communities.” This year, the IMP received nearly 200 applicants, most of whom were still eager to participate with the restrictions and the new format, which humbled de Castella. He said participants told him they were not doing the IMP to run the New York Marathon but because they “want to be part of the IMP program and use that as a platform to drive change”. “It’s always exciting to meet a new squad and to listen to what they’d like to achieve once they graduate,” de Castella said. “The finish line of the marathon is just the start for our graduates. It’s what they do when they come home after IMP that really matters.” IMP head coach and graduate, Adrian DodsonShaw, said this year would prove the hardest yet for the new squad, a view shared by de Castella. “The IMP program is designed to be tough. It’s only through challenges that we can see how resilient and strong we really are,” de Castella

This year’s Indigenous Marathon Project will be run as a virtual program to “keep encouraging young Indigenous leaders to step up in their community and spread the positive message of healthy living,” according to IMP head coach and graduate, Adrian Dodson-Shaw.

said. He added that this year provides additional opportunity “to showcase Indigenous resilience and determination in the face of really testing circumstances”. While Dodson-Shaw is still hopeful the squad will be able to run a major domestic or international marathon by the end of the year, they are also prepared to do this virtually. - Allison Turnbull

‘Virtual Alan’ continues support for Salvos Having collected donations for the Salvation Army for 30 years, local legend Alan Jessop is a familiar face at the Canberra Centre – and his presence there continues, albeit in a different form. ‘Virtual Alan’ was installed at the Canberra Centre earlier this month and is continuing to collect donations for the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal until 31 May

Telstra regards the proposed installation as a Low-impact Facility under the Telecommunications (Low-impact Facilities) Determination 2018 ("The Determination") based on the description above. In accordance with Section 7 of C564:2018 Mobile Phone Base Station Deployment Code, we invite you to provide feedback about the proposal. Further information and/or comments should be directed to: Stefan Kaldis, Town Planner at Visionstream on Behalf of Telstra Stefan.Kaldis@visionstream.com.au by 16/6/20 canberraweekly.com.au

via a contactless tap-and-go machine. The decision to install a ‘Virtual Alan’ was due to the Centre being unable to safely welcome Mr Jessop inside for the first time in over 30 years as a result of COVID-19. The Salvation Army’s Major David McMurray said the idea to have a static donation point “is fantastic because it means Alan can be there virtually when he can’t be there”. The Salvos have experienced a surge in demand for assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic and expect it will get worse once the primary phase has passed due to a general community-wide decline in lifestyle and living. To donate to the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, tap and go at 'Virtual Alan' in the Canberra Centre (near Coles) or visit digitaldoorknock.salvationarmy. org.au and click on ‘Support my local Salvos’. Be sure to enter your postcode or suburb so that funds raised will stay in the region to help fund local initiatives.

Canberra’s face of childbirth education starts personal venture ‘Transform Parenting’ Tracey Anderson Askew has been helping Canberra’s pregnant women get excited about giving birth for 16 years. In that time, Tracey has worked with over 3,000 couples preparing them for birth and transforming their fear into more useful feelings like excitement, confidence and calmness. “If you were to ask 100 people what they think of, when hearing the word childbirth – they would say PAIN. That says a lot about how we think about birth, and how we think about birth, influences how we give birth,” she says. “When we approach birth mindfully, understanding the process and what we need to do to work with it, not against it – then birth becomes a very different experience.” Tracey brought a program called calmbirth to Canberra 14 years ago, and has evolved her work to include more current research and evidence around the mind/body sciences and continues to refi ne her methodology. Her course is now called ‘Transform Your Birth.’

Over the past 16 years, Tracey Anderson Askew has worked with more than 3,000 couples preparing them for birth and helping them to feel excited, confident and calm.

“We have great support from health professionals – as they see the difference in the couples when they come in to have their baby,” she says. “What we are doing is unique, in that it isn’t just good information, but a training process that changes the way they respond in labour. By learning to work with their stress response, and train themselves to move into deeper states of relaxation – they don’t resist birth.” Tracey’s aim for Transform Parenting has been to unlock the potential of parents in both the birthing process and the early stages of raising their children. “Knowledge is power, but it is the knowledge around how our bodies and minds work that empowers couples for birth and beyond.” Tracey now runs an Education Centre called Transform Parenting, which encapsulates mind/body sciences in relation to birth and parenting through a variety of programs including Transform Your Birth courses, Parenting Young Children courses, Rapid Transformational Therapy, Tuning Into Kids courses, Parent Groups, and courses for health professionals. Most recently, Tracey has developed a number of campaigns to help parents through the COVID-19 crisis which includes free zoom sessions every Tuesday, free parent mentoring and free relaxation audios. She also offers a variety of payment options so she can provide services to families from all circumstances. One of the biggest themes of feedback Tracey gets from both health professionals and new mothers alike is “this just makes

sense.” The teachings aren’t based around any one opinion of the best way to give birth but rather how the body functions and what a labouring mother can do to optimise that response. The message is clear, succinct and incredibly powerful. Testimonial We spoke to one happy new mum who has completed ‘Transform Your Birth’, Gabrielle Lawrence: “I had a really wonderful birth, and a really wonderful experience and I put a lot of that down to what I learnt in the course. “My husband and I found it amazing; so I think for him it was really great because he knew what

his role was and then he knew what he could do. He now tells every expecting dad ‘you’ve got to do Tracey’s course!’ “I have just now completed a ‘new mums’ course. What was really great about that group is that it was more focused on the mum and about the transition you go through and what you learn about yourself. Other parenting courses seem to be about the baby, whereas you as a woman are going through this huge change and the identity shift that happens with that. “[Transform Parenting] is just really wonderful and [Tracey] is a wonderful woman to have in your life as you go through this crazy process.”

Market basket: winter produce

We love winter here at CW, especially the warming, nourishing foods and in-season produce we can indulge in over the cooler months. Food writer Libby Kimber has handpicked some classic winter favourites for you to add to your next market basket. Pears

We wouldn’t blame you if you bought these corella pears just for decoration. While their red-to-green-to-yellow gradient is a stunning addition to your fruit bowl, they taste amazing, too. We would just eat these fresh as they are, however we wouldn’t say no to poaching them with some spices and serving them up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, either.

Feijoa

Brussel sprouts

Rhubarb

Custard apple

If you’ve not tried a Feijoa before, make sure you pick one up the next time you’re at the markets and you’ll be instantly transported to a tropical paradise. You can eat them as they are (the skin is more bitter than the flesh), substitute them into recipes that call for other fruits (like apples) or, if you’re anything like us, use them to whip up a cocktail.

Hear us out – Brussels sprouts deserve a chance! If you treat them right, they’ll love you back, we promise. Our top tip is to fry them off with a little bacon and let them caramelise, before adding them to the ultimate winter comfort food: mac and cheese.

Rhubarb is undoubtedly at its best when part of a dessert, a warm crumble or cake, and this is exactly what we’re planning to do with this tart, brightly coloured vegetable. Toss your rhubarb with some brown sugar and ground ginger before topping it with your favourite crumple recipe (Donna Hay’s works well).

These knobbly-looking fruits have surprisingly sweet, creamy flesh, eaten scooped from the skin. Whilst they could be used in savoury dishes (let your imagination run wild), our sweet tooth is calling for these to be incorporated into a dessert – check out the ricotta and custard apple cheesecake on canberraweekly.com.au

Tender Loving Cuisine: 25 years of the taste of homemade Tender Loving Cuisine (TLC) is celebrating 25 years of delivering delicious and nutritious meals to people all across Australia. They are here to provide you with some TLC during these uncertain times, continuing to bring healthy meals with that homemade taste direct to your door. The company’s founder and CEO, Jack Barker, said TLC began operations in 1995 at Royal Northshore Hospital in Sydney, and has been a “godsend” for their many customers ever since. TLC makes it possible for clients to select their own meals for delivery, as well as maintaining agreements with charities and other providers. “TLC commenced operations to

provide quality home-delivered meals to discharged patients and this special service has since extended throughout all of the Eastern States,” he said. “TLC has agreements with most charities and Home Care Providers to supply their premium range of delivered meals to those clients on care packages where food is needed.” He said that as the COVID-19 crisis continues, TLC’s meals have been a lifeline for customers who are vulnerable and self-isolating.

“As a registered NDIS Provider, TLC is now able to also support hundreds of disabled clients who need proper nutrition to improve their quality of living.” Mr Barker said the company’s 25th birthday celebrations have been marked by former NSW Liberal Party

Mr Barker also encouraged existing registered home care or NDIS providers to contact TLC to establish agreements for their clients.

Pie time! Whip this up for National Pie Day (1 June) with some glorious in-season apples.

Deep dish caramel apple pie Recipe courtesy of Panaceas Pantry for Kanzi Apple Australia kanziapple.com/au 8 Kanzi apples 1/2 cup (110g) vegan butter (can substitute any other butter) 1 Tbsp tapioca flour 1 cup (180g) coconut sugar (or brown sugar) 1/4 cup (60ml) water 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon 3 sheets puff pastry 1/3 cup (40g) almond meal Milk, for brushing Raw sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Heard the news? Home Delivery is Now Available Tuesday to Saturday.

Fresh ﬁsh, fresh seafood and fresh oysters arrive daily and we also stock frozen produce and a new grocery range including dry foods, herbs, canned foods and select fruit and vegies.

Peel the apples, then cut in half and core. Cut the apples into 4mm slices and set aside. Heat a large pot over a medium flame then add the butter. Cook for a few minutes, until the butter is melted and becomes frothy. Add tapioca flour and stir to form a paste. Immediately add sugar, water, spices and sliced apples and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples begin to soften and the mix becomes fragrant. Ensure you stir regularly. Turn off heat and allow to cool completely, around 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line the bottom and sides of a deep-dish pie pan with pastry. Pour the almond meal into the base and spread evenly, then top with the cooled apple mixture. Cover the pie with the remaining pastry, in a lattice decoration or, if you prefer, just solid pastry (make three cuts in the top if you do this). Crimp the sides of the pie, then brush the top with milk and sprinkle with raw sugar (optional). Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down and bake for a further 40-45 minutes (the pie will brown on top, so if you prefer to avoid this, bake covered with foil for the first 30 minutes). The pie is done when the filling begins to bubble through the lattice. Serve while hot with vanilla ice-cream.

Schroeder recently had three works unveiled as finalists in the City of Townsville’s biennial Percival Photographic Portrait Prize and was “thrilled to bits” upon receiving the news.

Local photographer snaps up three spots in The Percivals Canberra photographer Eva Schroeder recently had three works unveiled as finalists in the City of Townsville’s biennial Percival Photographic Portrait Prize. An acclaimed Prize that receives submissions from across Australia, the Percival Photographic Portrait Prize was started in 2014 to coincide with the nationally renowned Percival Portrait Painting Prize. While her photographs failed to take out the top gong, Schroeder said she was “thrilled to bits” upon receiving the news that three of her works had qualified. “Then the reality of what was actually required practicality-wise set in,” she said. “I had to have the images professionally printed, framed, and then source a specialised Art Transport Company to ship the images to Townsville.” Schroeder’s three selected works: Dropsheet Aristocrat, Acting: a real Rush, and Mum & Pap – 60 Years of Loving were all taken in Canberra

and feature local subjects. Schroeder said that instead of contacting her subjects to capture their portrait for the Prize, as many artists do, in this case all three came her way. “Every time I work with someone, or am hired to take a portrait, I seek to capture that potential ‘magical’ moment that takes my breath away. “That particular ‘magic’ doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, I like to ask the subject permission to enter their portrait into an award/ prize,” she said. Dropsheet Aristocrat was initially conceived during a professionally booked photoshoot where local artist, model and businesswoman, Karen Green, had booked Eva with the intention of using the images to break back into the modelling scene ‘silver haired’ after a hiatus of over 20 years. “As the photoshoot was taking place, I became aware of Karen’s current artwork sitting hidden on an easel - her paints, brushes and a dropsheet folded to one side.

“After the ‘professional’ component of the photoshoot was over, I asked if we could try something a little different and Karen was most obliging. Dropsheet Aristocrat is the result of that experimentation,” Schroeder said. Acting: a real Rush, is the portrait of Canberra based actor Jonathan Rush, in character as Charles Guiteau - an American writer/lawyer who assassinated US President James A. Garfield in July 1881. It was initially captured during a photoshoot Schroeder did for Everyman Theatre Company’s 2019 production of Assassins. While Mum & Pap – 60 Years of Loving features Schroeder’s parents, Hart and Inge Schroeder, photographed the day after celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. “I guess the consistent characteristic across all three of my portraits is that the subjects appear to be interacting with the viewer, rather than just sitting passively within the confines of their immediate environment and the limitations of the frame,” Schroeder said. Currently the Percival Photographic Portrait Prize 2020 is set up within Townsville’s Perc Tucker Regional Gallery as though there are no restrictions. However, because of COVID-19, the gallery has also contracted a company to map out and create a virtual tour of the entire exhibition. As the exhibition will be on show until 16 July, there is hope that the restrictions will eventually ease and the public will be able to view all finalists in-situ.

An Alice Girl by Tanya Heaslip Allen & Unwin, $32.99

Tanya Heaslip had a childhood that was vastly different from that experienced by most Australians. As she recounts in An Alice Girl, Tanya grew up in the late 1960s and early 1970s on a large cattle property just north of Alice Springs. Her parents were pioneers who established

It was an early childhood full of new experiences and, as they grew older, Tanya and her siblings learnt to help around the property, including working the mobs of cattle with the stockmen. Often their schooling would be interrupted, especially during mustering time, when their father would come up to the school door and order them out if he needed help. With the constant turnover of stockmen, the children became ‘the core’ of his workforce. Unlike her siblings, Tanya was a keen student and reader, and she enjoyed the lessons

provided by the School of the Air. When she turned 12, it was with mixed emotions that she went away to boarding school and, eventually, university to study law. Tanya tells the story of her life before boarding school with a refreshing honesty and humour, recalling the harsh times of bushfires and sheep mustering with heatstroke, as well as the good times and the friendships she forged. As she notes, the 1960s and ‘70s in the bush were a vastly different time, with different attitudes to how hard children should work, physical punishment and the rights of women. In many ways, it was a tough childhood, but Tanya looks back on it with much affection and love. A fascinating and moving story of an unusual childhood.

Endings, Beginnings (MA15+) Reeling from a recent break-up, young Daphne (Shailene Woodley) moves into her pregnant sister’s pool house. Daphne’s plans of swearing off drinking and dating come to naught when she attends her sister’s party and meets the bookish Jack (Jamie Dornan) and bad boy Frank (Sebastian Stan). Drake Doremus’ movies (Equals, Newness and Zoe), while having scripts, are largely improvised. Good improvisation, with good actors, should be undetectable. Classic lines such as Jack Nicholson’s “Here’s Johnny” in The Shining, Harrison Ford’s “I know” in The Empire Strikes Back and Robert De Niro’s “You talkin’ to me?” speech in Taxi Driver strike as believable as the characters are present, emoting within their environments. Bad improvisation is easy to spot, as it seems as though the actors are only concentrating on their own needs.

The improvisation here is particularly weak as the story is tepid, and the ‘love triangle’ that eventuates is sordid. Escaping from her past love life and job, Daphne is simply having an inconsequential, shallow experience; absentmindedly seeing where life takes her. By the time we learn more of the tragedy that kicked off her flight, we are no longer invested in our protagonist nor her casual ‘love’ interests. The story only comes to a form of a shape due to an outcome of Daphne’s recent lifestyle in a very cheap, stereotypical fashion worthy of a soap opera. Verdict: An aimless, apathetic story delivered through amateurish improv. 1 star out of 5. - Luke McWilliams | themovieclub.net Endings, Beginnings is available to rent via Foxtel Store, and will be available to rent On Demand from 15 July via multiple platforms.

Kingston Natural Therapies advertising moment

Kingston Natural Therapies: expert advice and individualised treatment Kingston Natural Therapies has been providing patients with holistic and natural treatments since 1984, with expertise and a passion for treating underlying causes, not just symptoms. Naturopath and herbalist Guy Clews says the Kingston Natural Therapies team are able to consult on and treat a wide range of health problems, such as issues with the nervous, immune and gastrointestinal systems, as well as skin conditions. “With natural therapies, the major difference between us and other therapy approaches is that naturopathy is very concerned about the underlying causes of the various diseases that we see,” Guy says. “And those underlying causes are different in different individuals.” He says there may be different causes for any condition. Each appointment begins with a detailed ‘systems review’ to pinpoint why

there is a health breakdown. Guy says natural therapies can work exceptionally well for nervous system problems, such as insomnia, anxiety and depression. “Naturopathy is very effective because of its holistic, thorough approach which addresses the underlying factors that can cause these problems to occur,” he says. “It is wonderful to see these problems improve and people regain their quality of life.” He says naturopathy is gaining in popularity as people discover the benefits of natural treatments. “It’s because people have an understanding that our therapies are very focused on the underlying causes of people’s illness and what triggers their health problems.

Father and son duo Guy (left) and Luke Clews treat the underlying causes, not just the symptoms, of a range of diseases and disorders with a holistic, natural approach.

“When you have that focus in your therapy, what you can do is you can stop problems recurring,” Guy says. “Our treatment methodologies include herbal medicine, vitamin and mineral therapy, diet and lifestyle modification, allergy detection and massage therapy/Bowen therapy, which enables us to tailor treatment to each client’s specific requirements.” To book an appointment with Guy, call Kingston Natural Therapies on 6295 6660.

Open for your hair care Running out of isolation

WITH LEE CAMPBELL, CELEBRITY TRAINER, HEALTH & FITNESS PROFESSIONAL BFIRM.COM.AU

Running may seem simple and easy, but if you are just starting out, it can be overwhelming. And if you have been in self-isolation or quarantining, you may not have been out walking or running much lately.

This week, I share some running tips and a start-up program to help us all run out of isolation and get back into some ‘normal’ routines. With any training, it is great to have a plan in place to measure your progress.

Tips to get you off and racing

•

Walk before you run: start off with easy training and refrain from racing off at 100 miles an hour – your body will not be used to the high intensity right away. Stay within a comfortable heart rate limit and don’t overdo it.

•

While you’re starting out, run on grass if possible.

•

Have comfortable clothes to train in. Consider a set of Skins or running leggings to stop any chaffing, and invest in some safe and comfortable running shoes.

•

Set achievable and realistic goals. Running is a long game, so plan gradual increases to your sessions.

•

Stick with your program. Even when you’re feeling great and want to push yourself, stick to your plan to avoid injury and fatigue.

•

Make sure you warm up and cool down with stretching before and after every run. Treat yourself to an occasional massage to look after those muscles.

•

As with every form of exercise, it’s important to stay hydrated.

A running buddy is always a good idea; it can even be something you and the kids do together!

Hang time: Winter laundry tips to lighten your load WITH HOME EDITOR, ALLISON TURNBULL

Laundry is a year-round chore but in the cold, wet winter months it can be a challenge getting your items dry. While sunlight is your best friend to help dry your washing outside, you can also opt for compact, indoor solutions that are easy to set up, durable, and will help avoid high electricity bills. Natasha D’Cruz, home living category manager at AMES Australasia, shares flexible ways to do your laundry that won’t put your home style on the line. Use the elements Whether you hang your clothes on a line or an airer, always consider two important elements: airflow and heat. In small houses, it’s especially important to give your laundry space to dry to avoid damp. Spreading clothes out across a few extra racks will help air pass between items and carry away evaporated moisture, reducing drying times. Any heat will encourage evaporation, but that doesn’t have to mean putting on the heater. Try lining up an airer next to an oven, or hot water system (if it is easily accessible inside). Alternatively, try under central heating vents, every little bit helps. Design for damp Heated towel rails are ideal for drying clothes, especially overnight to take advantage of

off-peak electricity pricing. This gives you the added advantage of having moisture in a room designed for damp. However, wherever you choose to dry your clothes, make sure air is circulating to avoid mould. Squash into small wet areas Placing an airer in the bath or a large shower unit will avoid clothes dripping on the floor, perfect for handwashed laundry which tends to be more waterlogged. You could also consider retractable lines over baths or in shower units to stop messy puddles from forming. Keep your clothes on the go There’s no rule that says you have to hang your clothes in the same space. Mobile airers allow you to move your drying around the home. Better yet, the unit can be put on a balcony by day and quickly wheeled in if it starts to rain.

Modern heritage Yass NSW 16 Walgrove Road The historic Walgrove homestead, constructed in 1905, is the perfect piece of countryside heaven. “Walgrove has all the country charm of a magnificent Southern Highlands retreat, ideal for a family escaping the city, without the exorbitant price tag of Bowral or Mittagong,” said Ray White Rural licensed agent, George Southwell. The property sits on a private dead-end road on the Canberra

side of Yass, close to the Barton and Hume Highways. “It’s in easy distance to the first-class dining and tourism experiences the capital has to offer,” Southwell says. The residence itself has been maintained with the retention of character features mixed with a modern, luxurious renovation. Southwell says “it is not just a house”.

“This is the complete rural lifestyle on offer with direct river access. The house is an amazing piece of local history yet completely renovated to modern standards.” He says the property would be ideal for families, professional couples who love to entertain, or even those looking to run a bed and breakfast or wedding business. The home boasts a segregated, opulent master suite, modern kitchen, a range of living spaces, four open fireplaces and a separate, twobedroom granny flat. “There’s plenty of reasons to enjoy the outdoors with an

in-ground trampoline, basketball and netball hoops on the tennis court, lawned areas, and gardens established over the last century,” Southwell says.

property news

Weekly market wrap Impending housing undersupply The Housing Industry Association (HIA) recently released figures forecasting sharp declines in residential building activity during 2020/21 due to COVID-19. The pandemic may have accelerated falls in construction activity; however, Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data shows construction activity had been declining throughout 2019. Activity peaked at 8,286 dwellings under construction in December 2018, reducing by 13.67% Year on Year (YoY) to December 2019. “HIA has revised its forecasts for the housing industry in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and now expects housing starts in the ACT to be down by 28.4% in this financial year and to decline by a further 29.4% in 2020/21,” said HIA’s regional director, Greg Weller. It has been obvious for some time construction activity in Canberra was trending downward and would hit a period of sharp decline without any external downward pressure. ABS data reports the various stages of the construction pipeline, providing figures for total number of new dwellings approved, new dwelling commencements, dwellings under construction and completions.

Looking at the very start of the supply chain, the ACT Government has had a high failure rate selling multi-unit development sites for the last 24 months. Sites failing to sell at the most recent Suburban Land Agency auction have potential yields of up to 1,540 dwellings. In the Gungahlin suburb of Taylor, nine sites with a maximum potential yield of 371 dwellings are set to be auctioned for a second time, having previously passed in or developers failing to settle on their purchase. The sites in Taylor have a mandatory requirement to deliver 57 affordable homes, illustrating the unintended consequence of failing to adjust reserve prices to meet market conditions. Total number of dwelling approvals and new dwelling commencements are the next stages of the supply chain. In the March quarter 2020, there were 965 new dwellings approved in the ACT, which was the first time since the December quarter 2017 that there were fewer than 1,000 new dwellings approved. The total number of new dwellings approved was down 26.47% YoY to March 2020. Dwelling commencements have

Builders call for stimulus action

Master Builders Australia want the National Cabinet to implement over $13 billion in economic stimulus for the building and construction industry. File image.

Master Builders Australia (MBA) is calling on the National Cabinet to implement $13.2 billion in economic stimulus for the building and construction industry. MBA CEO Denita Wawn said MBA is seeking “stimulus not subsidies” and is calling on the National Cabinet to implement their “independently modelled” stimulus package. “Building and construction is shaping up to be one of the industries worst hit in the long term by the COVID-19 economic crisis. We know from previous downturns that it takes four times 32

canberraweekly.com.au

longer for our industry to recover than the rest of the economy,” Ms Wawn said. She said work for builders and tradies in the 2020/21 financial year is “fast evaporating” with indications 2021/22 “will not be much better”. MBA commissioned EY to prepare modelling for the stimulus package that includes $40,000 uncapped new home-building grants; resilience renovation program to fund renovations that make homes more accessible or resilient to natural disasters; and a 10% drop in developer charges for some commercial programs, such as those including funding for cladding/asbestos rectification and a 5% increase in government spending in health, defence and education. Ms Wawn said MBA would also want to see a “dedicated building and construction industry taskforce” to oversee the implementation of such a plan. “For stimulus to occur building activity needs to commence,” she said. “We have seen that governments can fasttrack construction activity in response to natural disasters and COVID-19 is shaping up as an economic disaster.”

WITH SAM DODIMEAD, LOCAL PROPERTY PROFESSIONAL AND HOST OF CANBERRA PROPERTY PODCAST

reduced significantly, falling from 6,409 during 2018 to 4,315 during 2019. This shows that from site acquisition through to commencing a project, there is a significant drop in potential supply. Dwelling units completed increased from 2,652 during 2018 to 4,260 during 2019. Upward trending completions show projects are finishing; however, downward trending commencements and total number of dwellings under construction show an overall decline in activity. Canberra has been a standout performer globally, rapidly squashing the COVID-19 transmission curve. It would appear likely this would enhance our liveability credentials to people in cities who have had high infection and death rates or enacted more drastic measures of containment. This may accelerate relocation plans once global travel resumes and accelerate our trajectory toward a critical undersupply of new housing stock.

REIA eyes forecasts with suspicion The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) has warned forecasts of major housing price drops are “highly questionable”. REIA president Adrian Kelly said suggestions of forecasts with “any acceptable degree of probability” are “highly fanciful”. “We can only look at what is happening in the marketplace at the moment as well as in previous times of high unemployment to provide pointers to likely outcomes,” he said. “Currently we have a situation where listings are decreasing yet the enquiry level from prospective buyers is increasing. It is simple economics that when supply decreases and demand remains that prices edge upwards. They certainly don’t drop.” Mr Kelly said recent forecasts would suggest the supply of new housing will be severely constrained over the coming year. “The Housing Industry Association is expecting building of new dwellings to fall by almost 50% over the rest of 2020 and into 2021.This does not suggest a scenario of supply exceeding demand – a prerequisite for falling prices,” he said.

rare find

canberraweeklyrealestate.com.au

A coastal jewel North Narooma NSW 119 Riverview Road One of Narooma’s most iconic properties, Blackwood Park on the Wagonga Inlet is being offered for sale for the first time since 1965. The property comprises 15 acres, with 1km of inlet frontage and stunning picturesque views over the inlet to Gulaga Mountain. LJ Hooker Narooma sales consultant, Steven Hutcheson, says the residence is “an iconic guest house from Narooma’s golden age of tourism”, and a “once in a generation property”. “This property has been one of the most prestigious holiday destinations on the South Coast since the 1920s,” he says. “The unique peninsula jutting out into the Wagonga Inlet originally held five holiday cabins

and a clay tennis court.” After Blackwood Park changed hands in 1965, the main dwelling was redesigned into four twobedroom units and “was a fully operational holiday guesthouse until 1987”. Hutcheson says this is a fantastic opportunity for a buyer with the commercial interest to reinvigorate the property for a holiday resort, or for someone looking to “create one of the best holiday homes on the South Coast”. “The deep-water jetty with ocean access has recently been upgraded and provides the ideal launching spot for your fishing boat or yacht,” he says. “Blackwood Park is one of the

few remaining properties on the inlet with Mean High Water Mark (MHWM) ownership. With a reluctant sale due to the current owner’s age, Hutcheson says “this property sale represents a unique opportunity that might not come around again for another 60 years”.

Northcove Road is the blue ribbon street that runs along the cliff face that joins Long beach to Maloneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beach. This vacant lot is incredibly placed as the second last lot from the sands of Maloneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The stairs down to a secluded beach is positioned metres from the back gate. The bonus of being a little higher means any building restrictions from coastal inundation are often negated. The property was originally purchased with the vacant lot next door, prior to a home being built on Lot 173. This is a gorgeous blank canvas for your architect to create something magical.

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

As May ends and June begins, you

With Mercury challenging Pluto, it’s a time of transformation. With so much change happening globally, you may be wondering how you can deal with these challenging times. Your old ideas of fulfillment need to be updated as you find yourself longing for a new goal to set your sights on.

What the stars suggest for you this coming month is to understand your fears when it comes to taking more authority in your own life. It is time to trust yourself at a much deeper level. Go ahead and make that decision you have been putting off.

You’re starting to re-evaluate your commitments, routines and obligations and to look at whether it always serves you to be the one who pushes through no matter what. These are not overnight choices you are making, as serious changes and transformations are on the cards regarding your personal life.

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB

Be careful about jumping to the wrong conclusions and be mindful in how you are connecting with your personal and professional networks. Email threads and hasty comments can easily be distorted and blown out of proportion. Aim to be a neutral ally rather than adding fuel to the fire.

You’re not one to be so easily thrown off, but June feels a bit different. You are feeling tender this month, Scorpio. Your usual tough exterior has been worn down a bit. You might find yourself more distracted as you’re feeling sensitive and raw, and in need of some TLC.

Saturn Retrograde encourages you to look back at how far you’ve come, what you’ve learned, and how you’ve changed. You have a rare opportunity to gain some key insights into who you are becoming. What are you hoping to see when you cast those reflections?

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR

If you feel a bit out of sorts in June, don’t worry; you’re under the influence of some big, cosmic shifts. You might feel confused one moment and completely at peace the next. You’re outgrowing some of your old insecurities and while there are growing pains, these lessons bring rewards.

June has a transformational quality to it for you. Be open to change taking place in your life; the tough thing about change is that we always want to control what it looks like, how it happens and how it turns out in the end. Take a wait and see approach.

Mercury in a challenging aspect with Pluto indicates that issues concerning your personal life are surfacing now. Your children or loved ones may be challenging you and the practicalities of life weighing you down. You might want to escape reality, but avoid tossing aside all of your responsibilities.

are deep into your feelings. Which direction your emotional highs and lows take you throughout the coming month is entirely up to you! You may come to realise you can’t help everyone, no matter how much great advice you give.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY As June begins, the planets encourage you to reach new levels of selfexpression, vulnerability and open communication. Your relationships can reach deeper levels of intimacy, trust and awareness throughout the coming month. It might not always feel easy, but people need your authenticity, wisdom and sensitivity.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE If you find yourself having trouble saying no and tend to overextend yourself, then the universe is getting ready to make you look long and hard at what’s hindering you. Do not let life pull you along in different directions this

My favourite things FAMILY Maggie’s family are her favourite people. This photo was taken on her favourite holiday on the Gold Coast. She said while they have been through a tough time together, they have managed to come out “still a strong family unit”.

WAKEBOARDING Maggie has been wakeboarding ever since she was about 10. “My Pop has a place in Talbingo (NSW); it’s in the middle of nowhere and has a dam there. We go up there for our summer holidays and go water-skiing.”

ZIGGY ALBERTS Getty

“He’s an Australian artist … I started listening to his music about three years ago now when playing at pubs and I liked seeing him come through the ranks. I enjoy his music as well.”

Maggie Gorham GWS Giants

COFFEE “I love coffee. It’s a good excuse to go and socialise a bit, too.” This photo was taken at one of Maggie’s favourite cafes in Merimbula, NSW.

ROOSTERS As a young kid, Maggie was a fan of Jarryd Hayne and the Eels, despite her Dad being a Roosters supporter. “I was an Eels supporter till 10 then jumped on the Roosters bandwagon with the rest of the family.”

Selected by the GWS Giants with pick four of the 2019 NAB AFLW Draft, Maggie Gorham may have missed out on making her AFLW debut this season but has still enjoyed her time with the club. A formidable talent, Maggie, who played for the Belconnen Magpies locally, claimed the Bainrot Medal in 2019 as AFL Canberra’s Best and Fairest. She also finished equal fifth in the 2018 Bainrot Medal count in a year that saw her play in the 2018 AFL NSW/ACT team at the Under-18s Championships alongside Alyce Parker and be named in the 2018 NAB AFL Women’s Academy. Quick on her feet and equipped with a great set of hands, Maggie boasts a deadly set shot and has lightening quick hands.
