LIVE MUSIC COMING UP BRETT WHITMORE 06/08 BOBBY THE KID 14/08

FROM THE EDITOR AS we revealed in July, the population for many of our hinterland towns has gone through the roof in recent years.

It makes sense. Why would you not want to live here.

In fact the council’s own planning forecasts for Beerwah in 2017 have proved to be outdated already with population outstripping forecasts.

Last year’s Census revealed Beerwah’s population was 9,255, whereas in 2017 the council was predicting it would hit 8,600 by 2026. This has meant the town is growing faster than some infrastructure can keep up.

Of course we’re not confronted with city grind problems (although the daily school drop-off is a punish and the regular delays at Roys Rd intersection are not to be dismissed).

But if we get on the front foot with these emerging issues, then we happily avoid some future headaches.

The two-hour parking limits to be thrust on Beerwah is a good case.

They may well be necessary given the well documented issues that have been raised in recent months. But it also creates its own set of problems that need to be considered. For example where can staff park in the CBD that is a safe (and civilised) distance from their workplace. Thus the Glasshouse Chamber’s push for a ‘Growth Plan’ that allows stakeholders to address our growing pains is a sensible and collegiate approach to finding solutions to emerging problems. It recognises that times are changing fast and the sooner we act the better the outcomes for the community.

Disgust at abuse

Limits to parking

By Mitch Gaynor TWO-hour parking limits will be rolled out across Beerwah within weeks in a move which has angered businesses that argue the changes do not address a concerning lack of parking in the face of a booming population.

Notices went up last week (July 28) announcing two-hour parking limits would be established along parts of Simpson, Peachester and Turner streets.

A six-hour RV parking zone would also be set on Simpson Street.

The timed limits - first mooted by the council in 2017 - were initiated following a decision by Beerwah Marketplace to enforce three-hour parking limits.

It argued that staff and rail commuters were absorbing car parks intended for customers.

While the move freed up parking in the centre, staff and commuters were subsequently forced out of the marketplace and on to nearby streets.

The consequence was street front retail customers were confronted with no available car parks, sometimes for entire days.

Glasshouse Country Chamber of Commerce agreed that changes were needed to ensure drivers did not

congest parking in front of businesses.

But it questioned the justification behind the decision, which was based on a 2017 study that used outdated population forecasts.

“In 2017 Beerwah’s population was forecast to reach 8,602 by 2026 but we’ve already hit 9,255,” the Chamber said.

“The planning done back in 2017 does not reflect the rapid population increase and the consequent increase on many business pressures including a notable lack of parking.” The Chamber

estimated there were 187 Marketplace staff and just 71 allocated spaces.

“The shortfall of 116 is not total staff, which is much higher, but just at average times,” the chamber said.

“We are asking that the council work with the chamber and centre management to try to identify a solution to this major parking issue as identified by yourselves and our survey.

The chamber’s recent shop front survey found over 70 per cent of respondents were concerned about the lack of parking in Beerwah’s town centre.

“Once work starts on the medical centre on Turner street this will remove more local parking and only add to the pressures on local parking,” the chamber told GC&M News.

“It’s clear the 2017 Beerwah parking plans are obsolete and we are proposing the establishment of a 2023 five-year Growth Plan.”

In announcing the new zoning rules, Sunshine Coast Council said: “It is intended that this change to the on-street parking service will assist with parking turnover in the area.”

By Sonia Isaacs POLICE are closing in on a woman who made a vicious anonymous call to seabird rescue volunteers the Twinnies last week.

The cowardly act came after the Twinnies - Paula and Bridgette Powers made a desperate appeal for assistance to ensure the ongoing viability of the Landsborough 24/7 rescue facility.

Paula’s mother, Helen, said the family was devastated by the cowardly attack and the effect on her daughter, who had spent her life devoted to the cause of rescuing wildlife alongside Bridgette.

Within a week of posting a Facebook request for followers to support the charity with their ongoing operational costs, the grassroots not-for-profit organisation was inundated with thousands of positive reactions and hundreds of comments, with supporters rallying behind The Twinnies to raise nearly $80,000. www.facebook.com/twinniespelicans

Votes confirm MCU change to charity

By Jennifer Kent MALENY Credit Union Ltd will formally change to a charity to be known as MCU Communities Ltd, after a meeting was held on Wednesday, July 27 to vote on a resolution to transfer its assets to a new structure.

The new MCU Communities Ltd will also incorporate the closure of the Maleny and District Credit Union Charitable Trust, which last year distributed $149,000 worth of grants, the majority to local organisations and clubs.

Greg Williams - representing the Maleny Table Tennis Club - was one of approximately 60 members who attended the meeting. Mr Williams shared that he was optimistic about the future of MCU and that all efforts will be made to continue the intent of MCU to benefit the local community.

“It is a good result for the town, our community and the organisations and I feel the community will ultimately benefit,” Mr Williams said.

Mr Williams agreed with the board’s statement that the previous structure was financially prohibitive, and that the outcome to change to a charity would be of benefit for the community.

But while the majority of members who voted were in favour of the change, Mr Williams said the low turnout was

disappointing. MCU Ltd chair, Darryl Ebenezer, said the meeting was well attended given the challenges of the recent Covid resurgence.

“It’s always challenging with engagement of members, but we had sufficient numbers for the vote,” said Mr Ebenezer. “The meeting was well attended and we even had some founding members of MCU Ltd in attendance.”

While some felt there were faults in the way in which the meeting was held, the overall outcome was a positive one.

“The move to a charity means that MCU Communities Ltd can continue to have a broad impact on the social, environmental and economic cross over of our region, and enable us to continue the legacy of the charity in a different way,” said Mr Ebenezer.

“The transfer provides certainty for members and community to keep an important asset in Bunya House, and continue the distribution of grants to local community organisations.”

Members on the night were given an application to apply to become a member of MCU Communities Ltd and those that weren’t able to attend were to be sent a new application form.

Those that wish to become a member will be able to download an application.

Investigations underway into koala habitat at Ferny Forest KOALAS could derail state government plans to log Ferny Forest following acknowledgment that more investigation was needed into their presence at the controversial site.

In a letter tabled to state parliament on July 21 Agricultural Minister Mark Furner wrote that no decision had been made whether to stop the harvest.

But Mr Furner acknowledged that if koalas or koala habitat were identified, then the state government could be in contravention of its own environmental protection laws if it proceeded with logging.

The letter by Mr Furner – written in response to petitioners opposing the logging – stated: “I note that the conservation status of the koala under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (EPBC Act) and the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Qld) (NC Act) has recently changed to ‘endangered’ in Queensland.”

“Consequently, the proposed harvest site is being assessed for koalas and koala habitat to ensure compliance with the requirements of the EPBC Act and NC Act.” The State Government proposed in late 2021 to harvest up to 50% of the 129-hectare forest, also known as Beerwah State Forest, and comes two

years before the forest will be converted to national park status and becomes protected from harvesting.

In the letter Mr Furner stopped short of saying logging would not proceed.

“If the proposal to selectively harvest the Beerwah State Forest site proceeds, timber harvesting will only occur for a relatively short period of time in the overall forest management cycle,” he wrote.

“The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) will work closely with QPWS&P to manage public access during operations to ensure the safety of all forest users; minimise the impact on visitor infrastructure such as the Ferny Forest Trail; and ensure that the site can be returned to full use by the public as quickly as possible.

He wrote that the government supporters “actions to deliver a sustainable native timber industry in Queensland, balancing both jobs and the environment”.

Peachester farmer’s brush with fame

Dark skies aligning

By Mitch Gaynor IT COULD have been so much worse for Graham Jackson. He might not have ended up on national television for starters, or he could have been seriously injured under a tractor.

Battling wet and sodden conditions the Peachester farmer was carting a load of firewood when the bridge he was manoeuvring over gave way as a support sleeper splintered under the weight of the machinery.

With no time to react, Graham was forced to hang on and hope for the best as his tractor slid off the bridge and into the creek.

Under normal conditions the mishap may have slipped under the radar, but as luck would have it the towies he called just happened to have a film crew following their every move.

Sunshine Coast’s Clayton’s Towing is featuring in Heavy Tow Truckers Down Under - an eight-part series on Discovery Channel that pits hardcore towing companies against each other as they battle it out to win the toughest and most lucrative tow contracts in the Southern Hemisphere.

As such, when the team of three Clayton’s towies turned up they also had two film crew, drones and Go Pros fitted to everyone as they guided their

monster salvage machines and million dollar hardware across seemingly inaccessible terrain to the tractor.

For Graham, who was a natural in front of the camera as he explained how the mishap occurred, the successful operation was a great outcome considering how close he came to injuring himself and losing his tractor entirely.

While shocked about the situation he added he was grateful there wasn’t more damage to him and the tractor.

“I guess I was lucky it got stuck at 45 degrees and I wasn’t thrown into the

water with the tractor so there was a bit of shock,” he said. “All in all it was a great outcome and ended up being a bit of fun.” GC&M News was on hand to see the Clayton’s team, led by Mike Clayton, calmly and professionally extract the tractor using their salvage skill-sets in a race against time ahead of forecast heavy rain.

REQUESTS to preserve Maleny’s status as the last area of coastal south east Queensland not severely affected by light pollution has been referred to the Transport and Main Roads Minister.

The request comes after months of lobbying and a petition tabled in state parliament requesting the replacement of streetlights in and around Maleny, with experts fearing poor policy and population growth could soon black out stars from the night sky. Responding to the petition, Energy Minister Mick de Brenni said streetlights in the region are owned by Energy Queensland on behalf of council and Department of Transport.

“My office has drawn the petitioner’s proposal to the attention of the office of my colleague ... the Minister for Transport and Main Roads and I have also asked the Department of Energy and Public Works to raise the matter with both organisations,” Mr de Brenni said. Member for Glasshouse Andrew Powell, who was the sponsoring member of the petition, said it was a positive step. “This is the first time Energy Queensland have put their hand up and said, ‘we’ll coordinate further investigation’.”

“I hope, as the organisations collectively consider this, they see that making the switch to ‘dark sky’ friendly lights is a win-win!”

Car parks to go in Maleny streetscape revival

By Mitch Gaynor CAR parks would be removed, footpaths widened, new trees planted and artworks and seating installed as part of a new concept plan for improving Maleny’s main street.

But a limited budget of $2.75 million will only see a fraction of Maple Street developed with residents being urged to have their say to maximise the most of the budget allocation.

The new streetscape concept was revealed at a Maleny Forums meeting at the Community Centre on Tuesday evening. Council’s draft concept divided Maple Street into four development zones, with SCC Senior Place project officer Hiren Bhatt saying the budget would allow either the full development of one zone or a mix of smaller improvements across multiple zones. Zone A stretches along the west end of Maple Street, with zones B, C and D heading east to Teak Street.

Mr Bhatt acknowledged the development of any one zone would result in the loss of approximately two car parks.

“What we have shown here would be the loss of roughly six to ten car parks across all zones,” Mr Bhatt said.

“If we select one of those areas that would be one or two car parks lost. But the benefits would be wider footpaths, seating, opportunities for placemaking and creative elements.”

“We are not locked in (to the

concept) and are asking what else would you like to see,” he said. Residents raised a number of issues including the lack of car parking, with one attendee at the forum saying parking was already a considerable issue and would the council consider a multi-deck car park behind the IGA. Also speaking at the forum – which was attended by about 100 residents – was urban design expert Professor Greg Mews (pictured), who urged the community to have their say.

“The fundamental principle of placemaking is about a collective.

Not about the individual, it’s about having accessibility to all and starting with the most vulnerable.

“If we get that right, the environment and the conditions, for the most vulnerable, then we can get it right for everyone.”

He said international examples,

including in Copenhagen and Montreal showed how relatively inexpensive steps helped create beautiful and valued community places.

“Placemaking has an opportunity not only to claim space back but you as a community to determine what to do with that place and how long you want to do something in that place,” he said.

Division 5 Councillor Winston Johnston said feedback was being sought on what stages the community would like council to prioritise.

“We aren’t looking to change the character of the town, but to continue to improve the long-term amenity of the street, create more community gathering points and reinforce a sense of place for the community,” he said.

Following community consultation a final concept plan will be revealed in late 2022 before construction begins in mid-2023 with a 2025 completion date.

Rangebow’s sweet symphony

Three charged following raid

By Jennifer Kent SCHOOL children from across the Range will sit side-by-side with experienced musicians from the Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra under the clear marquee for the Moonlight Symphony event on Friday, August 12 as part of The Rangebow Festival’s program of events.

Music students from Glenview State School, Maleny State School and High School, and Montville State School have, over the past six months, been involved in a musical mentorship program with Topology, brought to life by The Rangebow Festival’s artistic director Skye Parker.

“Some of our local schools are just far enough away to not always get the same amount of access to music, and opportunities to be involved in musical programs,” said Skye. “We want to give our students access to the same opportunities as other schools. We want our music programs to keep growing.”

As well as rehearsals for their upcoming performance alongside the SCSO, students have been busy creating their own piece of music for the performance; renowned composer John Babbage transforming the students’ compositions specifically for the combined orchestra to perform.

Come rain, hail or perfect star shine, performing under the marquee as part of the Moonlight Symphony program will be emerging youth artists from across the range, supported by world renowned chamber

orchestra Topology. The Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra will be joined by students from the Rangebow Children’s Orchestra to perform their original compositions, before finishing the evening ending in toe-tapping style with a varied musical repertoire by the Symphony Orchestra. Principal conductor of the Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra, Adrian King, shared they are really excited to be a part of the festival.

“We have a program of varied music, which I’m sure will appeal to everyone,” said Adrian. As for performing with students from the mentorship program, Adrian explained that it’s wonderful to make music with young musicians, and tailor to suit everybody. “[Bringing the compositions to life] is really fantastic and show’s a great level of musicality,” he said. “We’re looking forward to rehearsing together next week, and for our performance on August 12.”

Tickets for the Moonlight Symphony performance held at Russell Family Park, Montville are available here: www.therangebowfestival.org

A DRUG lab, meth, cannabis and $60,000 in cash have been discovered in a raid at an Ilkley property by Sunshine Coast police.

Police charged three people with various drug offences following the raid on the Sunshine Coast the morning of July 20.

Investigators searched the Ilkley property as part of Operation Uniform Canterbury, which was established in March 2022 to target drug trafficking on the Sunshine Coast.

Police allegedly discovered a laboratory for drug production, quantities of methylamphetamine, cannabis and $60,000 in cash.

In addition, police also located two firearms, a large quantity of ammunition, a significant quantity of jewellery and other stolen property.

Two Mooloolaba yachts were also identified as alleged proceeds of crime.

Good reason to read this paper Want to think smarter and faster? Then keep reading GC&M News. New research has shown that reading a newspaper could give you the thinking skills of someone 13 years young.

Research published in the journal Neurology looked to establish whether phyiscal and mental activities could help people’s ‘cognitive reserves’.

People with greater ‘reserves’ show better thinking abilities as the brain ages.

The study asked participants if they had undertaken activities including reading newspapers, magazines or books. For each category of of mental activity, researchers estimated thinking speed improved by 13 fewer years of ageing.

Hinterland dairy farmers get proactive against disease fears

By Sonia Isaacs MALENY’S dairy industry said it was being proactive by cancelling events and some interactions with international visitors due to the risk of foot and mouth disease, saying an outbreak would be worse than the GFC and Covid combined.

An outbreak of FMD in Indonesia has the industry and authorities fearful that travellers could unwittingly bring the disease into Australia and devastate the $80 billion livestock industry.

As a precautionary measure local events featured as part of the Curated (Side) Plate festival, including The Third Plate long table lunch and Celebrating Maleny’s Dairy Producers, were cancelled last week.

Maleny Dairies’ Ross Hopper said he had already stopped guided tours and heightened their internal bio-security protocols as a way of mitigating risk to local farmers and animals.

“The industry would be written off if there was an outbreak here – it’d be worse than the effects of the GFC and Covid combined for Australia on a mammoth scale,” Ross told GC&M News.

“It would totally destroy the Australian industry – we’d be back to exporting Roos.”

“We want to be proactive and don’t want to risk our farms, other farmers or be a super spreader of it if it did accidentally turn up here, so we are just minimising the risk here until the Government has it under control and then we can get back into business.

“We want to be on the front foot. We don’t want to overreact but then again, we don’t want to be the twits that did nothing and wrecked it for Australia, as we understand just how serious it is.

“We get a lot of international tourists who get off the plane and often we’re their first stop on their way to another event.”

We want to be proactive and don’t want to risk our farms, other farmers or be a super spreader of it...

Sara Bucher from Obi Obi Dairy and Maleny Cheese said it was disappointing but necessary to withdraw the events from the Curated Plate festival.

“These were events that were being hosted on farms during winter, the peak time this highly contagious disease spreads,” she said.

“While the risk of it entering Australia is currently very low, we fully support our colleagues Maleny Dairies and Maleny Food Co with the decision to withdraw.”

Maleny Dairies’ Ross Hopper and Sara Bucher from Maleny Cheese Sunshine Coast Council Division 2 Councillor Terry Landsberg said the council respected the decision of the local organisers and appreciated the importance of biosecurity.

“The good news is there are still plenty of locations, activities, menus and price points to suit everyone, and many hidden gems to surprise visitors and locals,” Cr Landsberg said.

“I encourage everyone to taste a bit of the Sunshine Coast and support our local businesses and producers given there are more than 400 food tourism operators on the Sunshine Coast.”

Champion results

MALENY’S dairy producers have been recognised for their incredible products with five Champion Awards at the Queensland Dairy Industry Association of Australia awards.

Maleny Dairies walked walked away with three Golds: Champion Cream, Champion Natural Yoghurt and Champion Medium/Large Producer.

Natural Yoghurt Company, which is owned by Maleny Cheese was awarded Champion Small Producer.

While Maleny Food Co was awarded Champion Gelato.

Sara Bucher from Maleny Cheese told GC&M News: “It once again confirms the high quality of our products and celebrates the effort of our entire team to create those yoghurts.”

“We talk about it all the time, but it’s so true the quaity of the milk in Maleny is the foundation of these beautiful award-winning products.”

Maleny Dairies said: “We are all so proud to be producing high-quality dairy products from the lush rolling green hills of Maleny.”

heritage Clark sisters Empire Day 1912 HINTERLAND

Contributed by Ron Gillinder ON the weekend of May 27, 2012, Judith Bligh along with eight cycling companions rode their bicycles from Brisbane to Bankfoot House in the Glasshouse Mountains to be welcomed by a large crowd, including then Governor of Queensland Penelope Wensley.

Judith was following in her grandmother’s ‘wheel tracks’ to help celebrate a remarkable cycling and climbing feat, exactly 100 years earlier.

To also celebrate the cycling aspect, Brett Richardson independently rode his Penny-farthing bicycle from Brisbane.

Brett was a teacher in Bicycle Mechanics at the Bracken Ridge TAFE. On the Empire Day weekend in May 1912, Judith’s grandmother, Henrietta (Ettie) Clark, along with Ettie’s sister

Lesley Jane (Ginny), their brother-in-law George Rowley and friend Willie Fraser set out by bicycle at 10am (Saturday May 25) from Brisbane to spend the weekend in the Glasshouse Mountains. Despite the roads being in a very bad state due to dry weather, they reached their destination at 5.15pm. A third sister, Sara, arrived during the evening by train.

The following day the climbing party successfully scaled Mt Tibrogargan and returned to Bankfoot House to enjoy the hospitality of good friends William and Clementina Burgess at Bankfoot House.

Willie Fraser was Clementina’s nephew.

They aimed for an early start the next day (Monday) and were joined by a local, Jack Sairs, for the Coonowrin climb. Under the leadership of Willie Fraser the climbing party successfully reached the peak of the mountain also known as Crookneck. For sisters, Ettie, Ginny and Sara it is believed they were the first women to scale Mt Coonowrin, and followed Harry Mikalsen’s successful attempt two years earlier in 1910.

Exhausted but proud of their achievement the group returned to Bankfoot House for a hearty lunch before Ettie, Ginny, George and Willie mounted their bicycles and rode the

BUSINESS

Small biz grants fixed after $5k debacle

AD I S

1 0 0% PROU

DLY

THIS

Official launch on August 11 at the Scone Festival.

Funds raised used for future community projects.

By Jennifer Kent SMALL businesses wanting to boost their turnover, increase their workforce or improve their resilience are being encouraged to apply for a grant of up to $15,000 as part of the upcoming round of Business Boost grants. There’s $2.5 million worth of grants on offer to Queensland small businesses, with businesses able to register their interest from 9am on Friday, August 12.

To be eligible businesses need to employ less than 20 employees and have had a turnover between $300,000 and $600,000 in the last financial year.

Businesses will need to co-contribute at least 30% of the total cost of their proposed project with grant funding paid to successful small businesses following completion of the project.

Minister for Employment and Small Business Di Farmer said they have listened to feedback from small businesses to make the application process easier, with the introduction of a new two-stage process.

“Grants will be awarded through a two-stage process starting with businesses registering their interest to apply by completing a simple online form that collects basic business information,” Minister Farmer said.

“Small businesses owners told us they want the application to be open for a set window of time so that they can accommodate their diverse work and life commitments.

“That’s why this registration process will be open from 9am on 12 August and will be open for more than a week until it closes at midnight on 19 August.

The second stage of the application will see a number of businesses selected through a ballot process to be invited to complete a full application. This format means all interested businesses owners have an equal opportunity to apply.

“Previous recipients of the grant have used the funds to do a range of business boosting projects such as; introducing an online booking system, redeveloping websites, building a tailor made workplace health and safety system and staff training.

“These are great, innovative Queensland businesses that know what they need to keep growing and just need the extra investment to reach their goals.”

Minister Farmer said small business grants would continue to roll out with this year’s Budget committing $39.1 million over the next four years For more information visit: business.qld.gov.au/businessboost

Schools out for Mrs Paddick By Jennifer Kent RETIRING with a lifetime of memories, Beerburrum State School teacher Dianne Paddick (nee Smith) was farewelled with the ringing of the school bells on Friday, June 24. It was a fitting send off, considering over thirty years ago, much to her surprise, it was the same ringing she was welcomed with on her wedding day. She remembers it fondly, as one of the most special moments in her career: “We were married at Glasshouse Uniting Church and much to my surprise as we left the church students and parents from Beerwah Primary (where I had been teaching) had lined the steps and were ringing the school bells for us. It was really special.”

Dianne, or as she’ll always be known to her students, Mrs Paddick, grew up on a farm in the Glass House Mountains attending Glasshouse Primary School, fondly remembering being inspired by her own teachers.

Her teaching took her north, having first been posted to Proserpine Preschool in the beautiful Whitsundays, before taking leave to travel overseas. From teaching in North Queensland, she said teaching over in London was an eye-opening experience.

Having taught at a number of different schools across the Sunshine Coast, including Woombye, Buderim and Currimundi, Beerwah, Meridan and of course, Beerburrum, there were many special moments including the Olympic torch relay visiting Beerburrum State School.

While Dianne shared she leaves with many fond memories, there was one thing she would miss above all.

“I’ll miss those lightbulb moment with the kids… when they just get it,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what it was, what the learning was, I’ll miss seeing those moments.”

Reflecting on a wonderful teaching career, Beerburrum held a special place in her heart from doing playground duty enjoying the views of the mountains while children play, to teaching children of the children she taught earlier in her career.

“There’s been lots of laughter, learning and fun over the years with many, many young faces”.

WASTE ACTION MALENY Rethinking our role as consumers in producing and reducing waste

Waste is a huge problem for our planet, and while change needs to come from governments and big business, we each need to do our part as consumers to reduce waste.

Sometimes we think, “I’m just one person, how can I make a difference?”

By making mindful choices such as refusing to buy goods with unnecessary packaging, we can reduce waste and create change.

Here are a few things you can do today: • Take your reusable water bottle with you to avoid purchasing bottled water • Use a keep cup for your takeaway coffee • Buy food mindfully to reduce food waste (a huge contributor to greenhouse gases) We can all do our part by rethinking what we buy, refusing packaging, consuming less, reusing, repairing and recycling. www.wasteactionmaleny.org wasteactionmaleny@gmail.com

Maleny Bowls Club celebrating 85 years of rolling greens

Maleny goes space age solar

Contributed by Margaret Ginns WHAT is this building (inset)?...Yes, the sign on the top says it’s the Maleny Bowls Club. It’s the original handcrafted building created by many ‘Maleny-ites’ – all volunteers - who lived and played bowls in Maleny during the 1930s.

Lawn Bowls was first played in Maleny in the mid 1930s on a private rink on the town side of the Maleny Hotel. The hotel and the two bowls rinks were owned by the Burnett Family.

Those same keen bowlers also created a ‘bowls green’, on which the game was and still is played. In those days it was a green grass carpet; today, it’s a green synthetic carpet.

Searching through old records we have found many memories. A list of early Bowls Club members’ names coincides with names of many of the founding families of the Maleny district.

On the 3rd August, 1937 a public meeting was held in the Maleny School of Arts to discuss the possibility of forming a Bowling Club in Maleny.

Members on this committee were, W.H.R. Burnett, A.M. Hunt, E. Webster, A.W. Thomerson and R.J. Lindsay.

Also at this meeting 16 locals became prospective members.

The first club house was built by Mr. C. Skerman and H. Perrett in 1939. It was originally built in the area where the flag

poles are now situated.

In 1946 the club house was shifted across to the present site and reopened on the 27th January, 1946

by Colonel F.N.G. Annand, then president of Queensland Bowls Association.

In 1947 the extra rinks were added. They were officially opened on November 18th, 1947 by Mr. Don Brownlie, president of the Maroochydore District Bowls Association.

Peter Mumford reminisces, “It was one of his (father’s) jobs to put up and take down the ‘sun awning’ (similar to one shown in the above photo) which was a tarp used to shade the ‘chairs for club patrons’ outside in fine weather.” He also said that his father Cliff Mumford plowed up the “old green” preparing it for a “brand new green” using a single horse drawn mouldboard plough in the early 1950’s.

The club has also been supported by many people including patron Les Cork who in 1970 donated the proceeds from the sale of a cow, which amounted to $135.22.

Yes, the Maleny Bowls Club has come a long way since then! On September 11 we celebrate the establishment of this club 85 years ago, and the party is on.

If you or your family have had an association with this club at any time, we would love to hear from you. We’d love you to share with us photos, memorabilia, memories and, of course, your successful ‘wins’?

Contact us at: secretary@malenybowlsclub.com.au Phone 5494 2335 (message), 0492 041 550 or call into the Maleny Bowls Club, 8 Bunya Street, Maleny (near Maleny Hotel). You can follow the Maleny Bowls Club’s Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/malenybowls

THE WORLD’S first solar electric vehicles are coming to hinterland.

Hot off the back of Maleny’s vie for the title of electric car-charging capital of Australia, Andrew McLean is going a step further after reserving the world’s first solar electric vehicle.

Andrew recently placed a deposit on an Aptera SEV vehicle, with it legally classified as a motorcycle.

Aptera - a Californian start-up - says the motorcycle can travel up to 1600kms per charge depending on the model.

They also allow owners of the vehicle to reduce their carbon footprints by 6350kg a year, while being able to go from zero to 100kms in 3.5 seconds.

“Progress is inevitable and progress that allows you to get around with less damage to the ecosystem and free from the sun- who wouldn’t want that,” Andrew said.

Buyers will have to be patient with the manufacturer setting a 2024 delivery date.

BOQ Beerwah, Your Local Bank With A Difference

If you’re looking for a team who understands what it means to deliver great banking experiences and truly personal service, look no further than BOQ Beerwah.

Locally owned and operated, BOQ Beerwah is headed up by OwnerManager, Martin Kavanagh. Martin works alongside a dedicated, longserving team of professionals to support the personal and business banking needs of the Beerwah community. We sat down with Martin to chat all things BOQ and Beerwah: What has your biggest accomplishment been since you became OM? The amount of local businesses we

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

have supported over the last 17 months and the number of customers we have helped buy their first home have been highlights. Mainly because I love the feeling you get when you tell a person that they will be able to buy their first home. I am also incredibly proud of my team and the compliments I receive for them daily remind me how lucky I am.

What does being a small business/ Owner-Manager mean to you? How does it make you different to other banks?

The main positive is the ability to make local decisions. As a small business owner, I can reinvest money and time back into the local community. For example, as the community continues

to support us, we have been able to sponsor the Beerwah Bulldogs, Glass House AFL, Landsborough Loggers as well as the work I do as part of the Glasshouse Chamber of Commerce with local business and schools.

What’s your favourite part about the Beerwah and wider Glasshouse community?

For me, it’s the very real sense of community. We have had so many customers come to us having been referred by family and friends, this gives us a great sense of achievement With interest rates going up, what advice would you give to home loan customers?

Yes, I understand this is very much on

people’s minds. My main advice is to call us. We can discuss all the options and run through calculations that may help to give some piece of mind.

From September 2nd you will be the only bank in the area - will BOQ be staying around for the long-term?

Absolutely! I am only one year into my initial 10-year Owner-Manager agreement, so we are here to stay. As our customer base continues to grow, we continue to believe in personal relationship banking and the mutual benefits that brings to customers and the bank. We are also now up to eight full time staff, including three mobile lenders and we are continuing to grow our team.

With competitive rates and simple, easy-to-understand banking solutions, Martin and his team are ready to help support your personal or business banking needs, whatever they might be. So, whether you’re looking to purchase your first home, are ready to refinance, are interested in opening a savings account, or want to chat business banking, Martin and the entire BOQ Beerwah team are there to help.

To experience the BOQ Beerwah difference today, pop into the branch, or give them a call on (07) 5439 2200!

YOU Dear Editor

A FEW thoughts on the letter, “Don’t Abandon our Heritage”, 19 July, 2022.

We live in a secular society, meaning there is a separation of religion and the state. Accordingly, state education is compulsory, free and obviously, free of religion. Of course, people are free to send their children to religious schools.

Some religious people object that because they pay tax, they shouldn’t have to pay extra to fund religious schools of their choice. I too pay taxes and I’m annoyed that taxpayers are forced to partly fund religious schools, to the detriment of state school pupils.

And I don’t agree with chaplains in state schools either.

The hoary chestnut of the teaching of evolution schools raised its ugly head. The correspondents wrote that “... even today it is only a theory, there is no proof”. Obviously they don’t comprehend what a theory is, and their religion is not even a theory. Unfounded beliefs cannot be proven in any way.

Besides, proofs, best seen in the domain of mathematics, are simply verifications of axioms, not unexamined beliefs.

Darwin was misquoted as wondering why “transitional (life) forms” haven’t been discovered. Well, many have and they’re called fossils.

The letter opined over the abandonment of our heritage. I’d say that our heritage goes back much further than Christ and the old testament prophets. The ancient Greeks asked questions and examined propositions about the nature of the world, for example, about the ultimate constituents of matter. Democritus argued that atoms were the building blocks of all material things. Such

thinking is the beginning of science.

Religion is not part of my heritage.

The letter was unsigned. If you have a belief about something, and you wish to publicise it, you should at least have the decency to put your name to it. Then perhaps you’d have some credibility.

Peter Slade Beerwah

Denial is not helping

I REFER to G.Tosh’s letter in the 19th July edition, where he states that Climate Change is not unusual, and that the fears of “global warmers” and activists are alarming the public unnecessarily!

Mr Tosh, by “global warmers”, I assume you mean the thousands of global scientists who are now proving that aberrant climate change is no longer a forecast, but it is with us NOW, every day.

You either have skills way in excess of the climate experts, or you haven’t ventured outside of your house, or watched the news for the last two years.

What about the severity of the recent bushfires? Fifty-year experienced firefighters are now begging the government and the public to listen and do something.

What about the recent rain events? A 91-year record for the Sunshine Coast, unprecedented tragedy for the badly affected in Lismore and elsewhere.

What about the 40 plus temperatures in London and the loss of their homes in bushfires? Yes, bushfires in London!

Bruce James Maleny

and what climate alarmist are saying.

First, temperature. Look at how large our housing estates are becoming and how close to each other they are, you can reach out of your bedroom window and shake hands with your neighbour.

This must hinder circulation of air between them.

Second, the dark colours used on the roof. Next, what about all the solar panels now in use all over the world, would not black reflect heat?

Sea levels - I think someone in dreamland must have came up with this idea. Earth has a mantle across which sits on moving plates, when these plates collide they either push up to form a ridge or one goes under the other the land mass on the plate going under would therefore subside causing flooding!

I may not be what you would call a smart person, but I am not dumb either.

J. Volbrecht

Respone to ‘Pathways and cycleways’ letter in the July 19, 2022 edition.

I THINK we all agree that we need more and safer pathways, it continues to be a passionate priority for me but your rates only go so far and we cannot do it all by ourselves. To this end, back

said

IT

in September 2018 I formally sent a request to Minister Bailey to integrate a separated cycle/pathway (known as an ‘active transport corridor’) as a priority into the Beerburrum to Nambour (B2N) rail duplication project.

It was therefore fantastic news in August 2020 when Minister Bailey announced that funding had been locked in to plan and deliver stage one of a 20km active transport corridor between Beerburrum and Landsborough, as part of the State B2N rail duplication project, which is progressing as we speak. This State commitment will very substantially extend and compliment the roughly 21kms (and counting!) of local pathways delivered in Division 1 during my terms so far.

The delivery timeline of this particular section of pathway is understandably linked to the much larger B2N rail duplication between Glasshouse and Beerwah - but it is happening now as part of stage one; better still, it’s on the State network using State funds and that’s a particularly good outcome for ratepayers.

POLICE BEAT

with Senior Constable Susan Lowndes Beerwah Police Station

Building sites and copper wire There has been a rise in thefts from building sites generally and more specifically theft of copper wire.

At various times the value of copper rises to a point where it becomes appealing to some criminals to steal from buildings under construction and other places where a large amount of wire can be found in a small area. The wire is sold to scrap metal dealers usually after being stripped of the plastic coating.

Crimes such as this can be very expensive for the builder and/or the new homeowner due to not only replacing the wire, but also the extra time required to refit the cabling.

Builders are advised to secure the property to the best of their ability, including their tools and equipment and to consider installing CCTV to deter criminals.

Increased drug driving detection capability Drink and drug driving are the cause of numerous traffic incidents every year.

While every police officer can conduct a roadside breath test, roadside drug testing is only conducted by officers who have completed the appropriate training.

Beerwah has recently increased the number of officers who are qualified to conduct roadside drug testing and have had significant results in this area. As

with roadside breath testing, roadside drug testing can be anywhere, anytime.

If you are detected driving with a relevant drug in your system, your licence will be suspended for a minimum of 24hrs for a first offence or for more than six weeks for subsequent offences or until you appear in court.

Once dealt with by the courts it is likely that your licence will be further suspended for at least four months.

Drugs such as cannabis and methamphetamine can remain in your system at levels able to be detected for up to a week after last use.

Police Recruiting I’ve recently had the opportunity to attend two of our local high schools in Beerwah for their careers display events.

It was great to talk to several possible future police officers at both Glass House Christian College and Beerwah High School.

The recruiting requirements have recently changed. It is now possible to apply from 17 years of age, although you are still required to be 18 before starting at the academy.

Policing is a diverse and rewarding job, if you or someone you know may be interested head to www.policerecruit.qld.gov.au and see if it’s the right job for you.

What will you do to Shine a Light on Racism?

The Sunshine Coast is our home and the uncomfortable truth is that racism exists in our communities. Council has launched a region-wide campaign calling on the community to #DoTheWork to become anti-racist. Visit Council's website for details.

SATURDAY night’s celebration was an outstanding success. We had well over 200 people attend including many past staff. It was an absolute delight to witness staff and students re-connecting with each other.

The feedback we have received has been tremendously positive. The night included performances from current and past students including music, dance and theatre.

The trivia competition was a highlight with the winning team including Narelle Barry - foundation P&C president, Darren Wallwork - previous staff member, Mike Anderson - foundation principal and Tenille Bainbridge previous student who was responsible for the names of the four houses of Beerwah SHS.

Heather Gall Fine Art Exhibition at Vianta The Force that through the Contributed by Ilia Starkovsky green fuse drives the flower… Contributed by Jill Morris AS A landscape painter, Heather works in oils, acrylics and watercolours.

Her colourful arts background includes a Diploma of Visual Arts TAFE; a past president of Arts Connect Inc, Sunshine Coast and Hinterland, Queensland; past owner and curator Tree Frog Gallery Maleny; children’s book illustrator for Greater Glider Productions, Maleny, Queensland; and includes many solo and collaborative exhibitions over 35 years.

Heather delights in the ‘disordered order’ of the natural world. Her response to pandemic lockdowns was to return full time to a purposeful focus on her Arts practice. A mainstream job ended, and she hit the studio with new inspiration, perspective and change arrived by revisiting places through her brushes.

Her love of the landscape is evident as she traverses her environment, observing the lights, shadows, tangled brush, majestic trees, glistening waterways, varied birdlife, vast and many colourful skies and vistas.

In Heather’s words, “I hope that my work will pull you into a time, a memory, a moment, a fleeting promise where you find joy in the simple quiet places. Art is a language that I have found I need no words for. To immerse myself in the act of creating images, I am on an internal and intuitive sensory journey, interpreting my landscape the way I feel it. I hope that my works resonate on some level of enjoyment for you too!”

Her exhibition of works at VIANTA ARTS 70 Simpson Street Beerwah will feature mainly a series of small watercolour landscapes and will be on display during the months of August and September.

Everyone welcome.

ETERNALLY popular Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (1914-1953)... who created turmoil with Spike Milligan in BBC corridors… who partied in USA with the Chaplins and Marilyn… who died young leaving hundreds of poems, 180 radio scripts and the play for voices Under Milk Wood… is the centre of a drama about his debauched and literary lifestyle with ‘wild Irish rose’ wife Caitlin!

Twelve local actors will portray a few characters each in the show: a 45-minute biographical drama by Jill Morris, followed by an abridged version of Under Milk Wood, directed by Barbara Thomas.

Woven through the program will be Celtic songs sung by Melbourne musician Lynne Muir, playing an Appalachian dulcimer.

For this production, Maleny Playhouse will be in Cabaret Mode, with the audience sitting at tables on the deep stage, with their drinks, while the actors perform on the carpeted raked seating rises. Very innovative!

But then – Dylan Thomas and Caitlin did drink a lot!

‘A Date with Dylan Thomas’ from Maleny Players in the Playhouse, Maleny Showgrounds, 26-28 August.

CHURCH & COMMUNITY It’s not about the noise, it’s about the volume LIFE is a series of events and circumstances, situations and predicaments, failures and victories, wisdom given and lessons learned. This short series of phrases goes someway in summing up our lives and the life of Jesus while He was on planet earth.

Jesus moved amongst people from all walks of life and made room for them.

At His birth his parents were told there was no room at the inn, and thus He was born in a barn. The saviour of the world after being turned away, turned towards humanity with an ever increasing capacity. Jesus was not about being loud but He was about being heard.

He was a standout leader of His time walking with humility and a capacity to meet the needs of the people. On that score, nothing has changed. At a time where there is a lot of changes in our world, I believe people are looking to turn toward Jesus instead of away from Him and ready to make room for Him in their lives.

We all know about people who talk a big game, and make sure everybody knows who they are, but rarely deliver

with Pastor Aaron Jackson Church on the Rise Beerwah on a promise. Jesus speaks life to all who will listen and still delivers on His promises today. Life isn’t about the noise we make, it’s about the capacity we carry. Yes Jesus wants us to do good and consider others, but more than that He wants us to increase our capacity for His wisdom, truth, and presence.

Increasing our capacity to know God and to be known by God will bring freedom, grace, and perspective to our lives and will enable us to live out the purpose for which God created us. God had an incredible reason for putting someone like you on planet earth. All that God has for us won’t be discovered in the noise of life but rather through creating room in the depth of your soul.

It’s not about volume (loud) but it’s all about volume (capacity). Make room in your life for Jesus. See you Sunday!

Mooloolah SS Flashing Lights

Over 1,000 Queensland schools have flashing lights on their 40km/h school zone signs. After years of asking the Department of Transport and the Department of Education, Mooloolah State School still don’t have any flashing lights. I’ve recently been made aware that an additional 100 schools are going to be receiving these flashing lights this year, so I’ve written to the Transport and Education Ministers once again and

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

with Andrew Powell State Member for Glass House

requested that they give consideration to Mooloolah State School being one of those schools to receive these important safety signs.

Steve Irwin Way Roadworks

There’s a lot happening near Mount Tibrogargan on Steve Irwin Way at the moment. The road itself is being shifted further to the east so that, as part of the North Coast rail duplication, the railway line can be straightened between Beerburrum and Glasshouse Mountains. As part of the duplication there will also be an overpass being built between Barrs Road and Moffat Road. These roadworks will be going on for quite some time, so please drive to the conditions and be patient.

Fitness trackers are a great motivation NEW findings from Australian researchers have endorsed what millions of people around the world believe: fitness trackers, pedometers and smart watches motivate us to exercise more and lose weight.

Wearable activity trackers encourage us to walk up to 40 minutes more each day (approximately 1800 more steps), resulting in an average 1kg weight loss over five months.

Researchers from the University of South Australia reviewed almost 400 studies involving 164,000 people across the world using wearable activity trackers (WATs) to monitor their physical activity.

Their findings, published in Lancet Digital Health, underline the value of low-cost interventions to tackle a growing epidemic of health conditions partially caused by a lack of exercise, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancers, and mental illness.

Lead researcher, UniSA PhD candidate Ty Ferguson, said despite the popularity of WATs, there is widespread scepticism about their effectiveness, accuracy, and whether they fuel obsessive behaviours and eating disorders, but the evidence is overwhelmingly positive.

“The overall results from the studies we reviewed shows that wearable activity trackers are effective across all age groups and for long periods of time,” Ty said.

“They encourage people to exercise on a regular basis, to make it part of their routine and to set goals to lose weight.”

The 1kg weight loss may not seem a lot, but researchers say from a public health perspective it is meaningful.

“Bearing in mind these were not weight loss studies, but lifestyle physical activity studies, so we wouldn’t expect dramatic weight loss,” UniSA Professor Carol Maher, co-author of the review, said. “The average person gains about 0.5kg a year in weight creep so losing 1kg over five months is significant, especially when you consider that two thirds of Australians are overweight or obese.”

Between 2014 and 2020, the number of wearable activity trackers shipped worldwide increased by almost 1500%, translating to a global spend of $2.8 billion in 2020.

Apart from the extra physical activity and weight loss attributed to WATs, there is some evidence that fitness trackers also help lower blood pressure.

Private hospital expansion a local boost SUNSHINE Coast University Private Hospital has kicked off a $9 million expansion set to offer locals greater access to world-class healthcare and potentially life-saving surgery locally.

Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital CEO, Justin Greenwell, said construction was underway on two new operating theatres, seven additional recovery bays and space for a further two new operating theatres in the future.

“We’re excited to expand Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital to offer more Sunshine Coast locals access to top quality health care close to home,” Mr Greenwell said.

“This expansion is in response to demand from locals who have seen the benefits of quality private health care on the Sunshine Coast.

“We offer patients a choice of specialist, and feature some of the best in the state in a large range

of specialities, including complex specialties such as neurosurgery, structural heart surgery and orthopaedics using some of the latest robotic technology.

“Having surgery locally also means that patients aren’t needing multiple trips to Brisbane for pre- and postoperative care.”

IN THE

With Brownie

Watch out for Himalayan Ash IN THE July 5 edition, I wrote about the importance of being a responsible gardener and making sure that what you grow in your yard isn’t going to become a problem pest plant in someone else’s.

Meredith from Flaxton wrote to me and highlighted one problem garden plant she’d like everyone to know about … Himalayan Ash. She wrote …

“I’ve been concerned about invasive weeds in our Blackall Range environment and, as you identify, emerging species are a major concern. I was alerted to a Himalayan Ash on my property by an observant friend and have had it removed but am now besieged by thousands of seedlings which need hand pulling. The seedlings bear no resemblance to the mature tree and are a monoculture under where the tree stood. The mature Himalayan Ash is unremarkable until it flowers, and then the extent of the problem becomes evident.

This is a plea to feature this plant in your ‘in the garden’ segment and encourage landowners to seek and destroy where possible. I notice it infesting riparian zones along the range and down the escarpment.”

Yes, Himalayan Ash (Fraxinus griffithii) is a common garden plant which over the last 20 years or so has become acclimatised to our local conditions and is now jumping the fence at an alarming rate.

Sunshine Coast Council have recognised the threat that it poses and have listed the species as a ‘Locally Significant’ invasive plant in their Biosecurity Plan. The plan says they are considered undesirable, and their continued propagation and planting should be considered.

It was a commonly promoted street tree and garden plant back in the 1990’s as it has some lovely features. It’s shady, doesn’t grow excessively large, attracts bees when in flower, has a nice shape and form and doesn’t mind being pruned and shaped.

But it also had the hallmarks of a pest plant in the making… it produces masses of wind-blown seeds, the seeds germinate easily and the roots are rather invasive, especially into pipes.

As Meredith says, the seedlings sprout prolifically and look very different from the parent plant.

Meredith has recognised that these plants in her garden are undesirable and has done something about them.

garden

If you have this tree, please consider removing it and doing yourself, your neighbours and the environment a favour. Local native trees with which the Himalayan Ash can be replaced are the smaller lilly pillies (Syzygium species) or Silky Myrtle (Decaspermum humile) … Forest Heart Eco-Nursery in Coral Street Maleny can help with more local suggestions.

Too Cold to be Planting? with Spencer and Karen Shaw

A question we’re often asked is, “should I be planting at the moment? – isn’t it too cold?” and although frost may be an issue in some areas, our generally benign climate, the great soil moisture levels, plus the fact that it’s great doing outdoor work in these twenty degree or just below temperatures, make it a prime time to plant!

Get ahead this winter by planting the things you notice when they’re in flower and they’re sometimes hard to get. Plant them now so you can enjoy their beautiful flowers all the sooner, such as Hovea, Bacon and Eggs Bush, Paper Daisies, Mint Bushes, NSW Christmas Bus, Golden Penda and many more.

Its also a great time of year to be improving your soil with mulching and fertilising and with our great range of organic supplements such as; Sugar Cane Bales, Katek Not Just Mulch, Katek Super Booster Fertiliser etc ... and great prices, we can help you.

JOHN MCGRATH - EOFY WRAP AND TRENDS FOR FY23 The property boom has created phenomenal new wealth for Australian homeowners, and for the first time, we’ve seen this play out in equal measure across the cities and regions.

Australian house and apartment owners now have a median $200,000 in new equity since COVID-19 began in February 2020. That’s life-changing and opens up many opportunities.

Let’s take a look at the performance of the East Coast’s capital cities and regions in FY22.

Median house price growth • Sydney +6.8% • Regional NSW +21.9% • Melbourne +3.5% • Regional Victoria +15.6% • Brisbane +27.4% • Regional Queensland +21.7% • Canberra +15.8% • Hobart +13.6% • Regional Tasmania +21.6% Source: CoreLogic Hedonic Home Value Index covering the 12 months to June 30, 2022

Major trends of FY22 The pandemic sparked many new lifestyle and buying trends that continued this past year, with the lowest interest rates of our lifetimes providing a big incentive to trade up.

As discussed in our McGrath Report 2022, working from home is the new norm and this continues to prompt many millennial families to relocate to the outskirts of capital cities or to regional areas where they can afford larger homes on smaller loans.

The latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) shows that for the first time in 40 years, we’re seeing greater population growth in the regions than in our capital cities.

This population movement has led to a re-rating of regional home values. The latest data shows a 25%-35% annual gain in house prices in key lifestyle markets.

These include the Hunter Valley (ex-Newcastle) NSW, the Southern Highlands & Shoalhaven NSW, the Capital Region NSW, the Mid-North Coast NSW, the Gold Coast QLD, Wide Bay QLD, the Sunshine Coast QLD and Launceston & Northeast in Tasmania.

First home buyer activity tapered off a bit in FY22 due to affordability.

However, the Albanese Government’s new programs to assist young buyers may have a positive impact for this sector of the market.

These include the shared equity program, Help to Buy, where the government will pay up to 40% of the purchase price for new homes and 30% for established homes.

The Regional First Home Buyer Support Scheme will give a leg-up to an additional 10,000 young people and will run alongside the existing First Home Guarantee.

The pandemic has re-popularised holiday homes, which are serving the dual purpose of being smart investments while providing safe and hygienic vacation destinations.

The international border reopened in February 2022, enabling thousands of overseas students and migrants to return, which has directly boosted inner city rental markets.

LEASEd PROPERtiES

Renovating or building has become difficult with a shortage of raw materials and tradie labour causing rising costs and delays. ABS data shows the cost of building in Australia has hit a record high, with people paying an average of $75,000 more for their new homes.

This is translating into higher demand for renovated homes, as many people abandon planned projects and go back into the market to seek an established property.

The prestige market continued its rise in FY22 with inflation and interest rates having less of an impact. A shortage of homes for sale and strong demand from upgrading locals and returning expats is pushing luxury home prices northwards.

Gold Coast prestige values increased by 17.1%, which is more growth than the preceding four years combined.

Prestige values in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne rose by 16.2%, 11.2% and 9.4% respectively.

Sydney and Melbourne are now cooling and are about halfway through their corrections. If you buy in 2022, you can be confident of getting a 5%-10% discount on last year’s prices.

The pace of growth in Brisbane has been slowing for months, but prices are

McGrath CEO & Founder John McGrath

still going up. I think Queensland has a lot going for it. Compared to Victoria and NSW, it is still relatively affordable and the Olympics are going to have a positive impact.

Canberra has decoupled from the smaller capitals to join Sydney in the $1 million median club for houses. It has overtaken Melbourne as our second most valuable capital city market.

Looking ahead to FY23 Rising interest rates and inflation have taken some exuberance out of the property market, with buyers now less inclined to outbid competitors by large margins at auction.

There’s a period of consolidation ahead after such big price gains nationwide.

Late last year, the previous cycle was overheating and we need a breather now.

If interest rates stop at 3.5%-4%, that is still half what Australians have paid historically. The price pullback might be up to 10% on the East Coast, but we are not going to see a major crash.

I think the whole country will have a soft landing off the back of this correction. I don’t think anyone is going to be badly damaged. Most Aussies are still well ahead in terms of their investments and mortgages.

However, in changing market conditions, your choice of agent is even more important. Always list with an experienced local expert who has seen market shifts before and is supported by a strong agency brand to ensure you maximise your sale price.

Should homeowners be concerned about inflation and rising interest rates?

With a growing media focus on rising interest rates and inflation together with predictions of a market crash and possible recession, it raises the question, should homeowners be concerned about the changing real estate landscape?

In response to this question, Cassi Nuske of McGrath Estate Agents says, “it’s important to keep a big picture perspective in the face of the media’s tendency to dramatise situations.

The Glass House Hinterland real estate market has experienced an incredible rise in property values of nearly 35% over the past two years.

With predictions by PropTrack of possible price corrections between

9% - 15% by the end of 2023, the reality is that even if these corrections materialise, property values remain vastly higher than pre-Covid levels.”

Cassi states, “generally speaking, if property owners are considering a move, they’ll be buying and selling in the same market therefore cyclic market changes are irrelevant.

For investors, if you’re considering selling in the next 2 to 5 years and not re-investing in property, it would be advisable to come to market sooner rather than later.”

“In my experience, trying to capitalise on market highs and lows is a gamble; I’ve seen property owners sell at the start of Covid who are now

priced out of the market because the media’s predictions of 20% falls didn’t materialise. Time in the market is the one adage which historically rings true; it’s more important to make decisions based on your personal goals and needs rather than reacting to media hype.”

The cosmos asks you to streamline your responsibilities. In the past, you’ve had a cavalier attitude with regard to the size of your workload. Now you come to realise that, in taking on too much, you’re missing out on other life pleasures. The next few weeks offer continued success but with a better sense of balance.

Someone isn’t being entirely straight with you at the moment. What’s questionable is whether they’re being deliberately misleading, or they’re sending mixed messages. Just hold off signing anything until you have all the facts. Stay cautious, Virgo. Keep this week as risk-free as possible, especially regarding finances.

There’s a huge happening in the heavens, Libra. You’ve just completed a long cycle in which priorities revolved around relationships. Finally, you can concentrate on your own needs. Indeed, you’ve a deep instinct that something special is on its way - including a complete overhaul of self-image. Expect a leaner, more fit, you.

Life’s harsher lessons can now turn to your advantage. Although you still feel the pressure of responsibility, don’t lose your sense of fun. Work and play can overlap. The cosmos also heightens financial instinct, inspiring you to find imaginative ways to improve income. And there’s truth in that old cliché: “It’s not what you know, but who you know.”

Stand by for a maximum dose of claustrophobia - the madding crowd invades your personal space, and you haven’t a hope of hitting the escape hatch. Up until now, you’ve been the epitome of patience. If still dealing with a situation that defies reason by week’s end, perhaps the simplest solution is to just walk away.

The cosmos finds you in a meddling mood. Be careful, or you could talk your way into a headache’s worth of commitments. Some situations don’t need your input - so get out of the way and trust that others will get on just fine without you.

The good news? Money matters no longer seem to be a thorn in your side.

You may be tempted to shift the blame onto others, and why not, when everyone else is doing the same? It’s a week where there’s little room to manoeuvre. Noone in particular is at fault. It’s more a case of each for themselves. And you have every right to follow suit. The upside: business and pleasure entwine. Delightfully so.

Sometimes a little good news is all that’s needed to lift our spirits and leave us feeling more positive. And when we feel so good, we should pay it forward. Perhaps, too, this week you are the messenger. Delivering happy news to others can bring immense pleasure to all concerned. So go ahead - grant someone’s wish, if you can.

Whether you’re working in the office or at home, new ideas blaze a fiery trail. At home, your love-life is set for a breakthrough.

Indeed, this next week finds many Ariens cosmically charged with a renewed surge of satisfaction. The time’s right to start turning long-standing dreams into reality. Singles may even meet a new love.

This is a week for tying up pesky loose ends and breaking bad habits. For example, you often say “yes” - when you really mean “no”. There’s no getting around it: changes need to be made, with some difficult situations coming to a close altogether. You’re not being punished. It’s just that for every ending there’s usually a new beginning.

Parental figures, friends or siblings feature prominently in your chart at present - and it’s high time. For whatever reason, you haven’t paid enough attention to the people who are capable of helping you most, but your future life and career may depend upon your making peace with the past. Listen to their points of view, with respect.

Many Cancerians now take an unscheduled trip down memory lane, perhaps confronting issues that you feel need addressing. Think before you act. Truth be known, it’s a week to throw life into cruise control. If you still feel like forcing the odd issue, make sure it’s done in a pleasant way. Treat yourself and loved ones to something special.

Sometimes the best form of defence is attack. Even so, you could be opting for overkill this week. Sure, be assertive if others are out to undermine you, but what they’re saying can’t all be wrong. A gentle compromise is the key. Your talents haven’t been forgotten - plans for your moment of glory are underway.

Your eyes are set on a special prize this week. While you can occasionally be a tad scattered, now’s the time to strategise long-term goals and prioritise your routines.

Virgos are usually okay with not being a triplethreat sensation overnight. A surprise offer could also tie in with the luck you’re already enjoying.

You often produce your best results when working in a team effort. Of course, it takes the right combination of people to bring about success, and this is where some problems might arise. Finances, however, promise a much-needed boost. Or someone close does well in the cash stakes, and you get to share some of their spoils.

A dazzling cosmos showcases Scorpios’ unique talents this week, so work or business options could suddenly soar skywards. You leave a lasting impression on others, who now notice how well you perform your duties. A new friendship or romance comes special delivery, although it might not arrive in the package you expected.

Some Sagittarians have a tryst with destiny this week: to become a leader.

Whether you’re fighting against bullying, abuse of animals or the environment - for you now, might makes right. Sure, the Saggie nature is usually more playful - but your Inner Rescuer breaks through. Much satisfaction comes with the experience of battling for a cause.

The planets have sudden shifts of mood and energy this week, and so do you.

Don’t assume you’re the sole trustee of all the right answers and don’t dismiss alternative views before they’re even heard. If there’s anything important you want to discuss or organise, leave it until week’s end when you’re less likely to stir up a hornet’s nest.

This week may not go as you would like, which could leave you feeling a tad uneasy. But don’t get into a twist trying to figure out whether you’re doing the right thing.

Remember that energy follows thought: what you think or feel is what you get. The more positive your thoughts and actions, the better the outcome.

Recently, too many demands have drained the Piscean spirit. No wonder you’ve scuttled back into deeper waters. Take heart, my friend. What lies ahead? A growing selfconfidence, and an equally expanding income.

For some, this may relate to professional matters. Others look to resolve a mystery. An aha moment sheds light.

Life can go by shockingly fast.

Truth is, many people tend to drift aimlessly through life without specific goals. More importantly, they coast along without a sense of purpose. Seek knowledge, Aries. Absorb as much information as you possibly can. And learn how to listen - especially to those with different world views than yours.

If others try to bulldoze your emotions this week, there’s no telling where this will lead. Some Taureans play down tensions, while others deliberately look for conflict. Couples bored with routine look to reignite the spark, or play elsewhere. But if you want your relationship to survive, no power games please - keep communications open.

Use your innate Gemini eloquence wisely when Mercury fires up unconventional Uranus - making it a great week to turn brilliant ideas into reality. Start creating, writing, painting…anything! If your trust in someone is shaken, express your dissatisfaction - but without going to extremes. Gentle persuasion is always more effective than conflict.

Gather your talents, Cancer.

Whether it’s a new job or starting a business, this week you’re capable of handling mostly anything. Just remember to enjoy the moment.

Current planetary transits carry considerable energy, so there’s also time for play. Make the most of invitations, but for couples - a partner must offer you independence.

Caloundra Sharks drown the Bulldogs

By Kirra Livingstone A LACK of discipline was the difference between winning and losing in a blockbuster Men’s A Grade match against the Caloundra Sharks, Coach Brett Hill said the team was struggling with a growing injury list, but the team let itself down through silly errors in the 33-32 loss.

“It was actually our discipline that cost us that game, and we just kept turning the ball over to them, and they made us pay for it that’s for sure,” he said.

Beerwah dominated the first half with four unanswered tries, but let Caloundra back in with a late first half try.

Beerwah then opened the scoring in the second half and seemed to have all the momentum as two Sharks players were sinbinned.

Despite the advantage Caloundra scored three tries in 10 minutes giving them a 30-26 lead.

Beerwah fought back with a try to retake the lead, but Caloundra responded by kicking a penalty goal to equal the score.

The home team then kicked a field goal with seconds left in the game, securing the win for the Sharks 33-32.

The men’s A grade game the following week was against the Noosa Pirates (July 30) at home, which the Doggies won 30-22, despite trailing 16-10 at half time.

Brett said after a patchy first half of poor discipline, which was their downfall in their last match, they improved enough to wrest back control of the game.

The Women’s top flight team have had a mixed fortnight, winning 14-6 against the Noosa Pirates (July 30) and losing 54-6 to Caloundra the previous week.

Coach Rod Kerr lamented the sides struggles with injury and sickness, which has plagued their season.

Caloundra dominated the entire match with six tries in the first half and four in the second.

While the Doggies scored the first try in the second half, they were no match for a fired-up Caloundra team.

Grants all around for local sport clubs

By Kirra Livingstone THE Hinterland is a part of the 33 active sports grants being handed out

by Caloundra MP Jason Hunt to boost grass roots sport clubs.

Some of the local clubs included out of the 33 selected are the Beerwah Bulldogs, Landsborough Cricket Club, Glasshouse AFL Club, and Beerwah Golf Club, to name a few.

All the grants are for $2000 each, and Jason Hunt told GC&M News how important it is to invest in local sport to the community.

“These active clubs grants are a small amount of money in the larger scheme of major sporting events, but for these local clubs they are a really good kick along,” he said.

“It’s just enough money to do those small club projects they’ve been meaning to get to but haven’t had enough time or money, so its injecting money into real grass roots sports.”

Mr Hunt also said when he goes to these local clubs, it helps promote them to the community, especially those who might not have know they had certain clubs in their town.

The Range Croquet Club

sport

Contributed by Ken Barker THURSDAY, July 14 in social play, Wallace Roy and Sally Adams played golf croquet on lawn 2; Nick Cram and Helen Uhlmann beat Vince and Val Carbery in a game of association doubles on lawn 1. It was a good win. Vince and Val have been in fine form lately.

On Sunday, July 17 Kath Smith and Sally played Vince in a friendly match.

Vince made it interesting by peeling as many hoops as he could with the yellow and red balls. A peel occurs when you put a non-striker ball through the hoop. Normally it is done on the croquet shot but at hoop 5 Vince put the yellow through while roqueting it. Sally played her first pass roll, in play, to make hoop one.

Both lawns were used on Sunday, July 24. On lawn 2, Stuart Craig and Wallace played three good games of golf croquet. Wallace won all three. Sarah Widin and Val played a game of doubles on lawn one against Vince Carbery and Helen Andrews, winning 15–5. Ken Barker and Nick shared the lawn with them to play a singles game which Ken won 24–10.

The open club championships began on Tuesday, July 26t. Four games have been played with two more to follow. In morning play Nick beat Vince 18–16 in a close game while Sarah beat Val 19–5. In the afternoon Val beat Vince 26–4 while Sarah and Nick played an intriguing game.

Witta Tennis

Contributed by Pauline Fraley FRIDAY 16 July: The Wanderers season started again on 15 July Friday. Unfortunately, their opposition forfeited. Better luck this Friday.

Friday 22 July: Both the Whistlers and the Wanderers were washed out.

Sunday 24 July: Witta Wikings ventured to Gympie for a day of Veterans’ tennis. The team consisted of Glenn Smith, John Bradshaw, Mal Wright, Andrew Moser, Stacy English and Cindy Harris. The tennis was of a high standard, and everyone enjoyed the day. Gympie won the day with 9 sets and 64 games, to Witta’s 3 sets and 40 games. It was a long day, and we didn’t arrive back in Maleny till well after dark.

There were no major casualties apart from when Stacey and Andrew collided going for the same ball; Stacey came off second best. Witta decided that Mal was the standout of the day.

It was fantastic to enjoy some tennis under blue skies and sunshine when Witta Wompoos played Nambour Nailers. Witta fielded a competitive team of Mal, Haydyn, Tony, Andrew, Paula and Brenda to come away winners in a close match winning 7 sets 58 games to

RESULTS

Nick Cram pegging out Sarah Widin’s black ball in the club open championship Sarah made good breaks early and ended up taking her black ball to the peg but not pegging it out. Nick, at this stage had made just two hoops. He decided that his best prospects were to peg out Sarah’s black ball which he is doing in the attached photograph.

Sarah’s blue ball can be seen in the background, looking on in horror at the prospect of losing its partner. With twenty minutes to go, three hoops behind, it was a brave decision which paid off. Nick won the game 15–10.

Our next match is an intra club clash between Witta Wompoos and Witta Wikings, a replay of the ‘declared wash out’ earlier in the season. Let’s all hope for good weather over the next few weeks enjoying the warmth of the sun and tennis companionship.

Ballsy program for local tennis club THE Landsborough Tennis Club has had its first major event with the new club president, and officially announced a free tennis program unlike any other.

Club president Dan Black and the tennis club team hosted a family fun day at their courts, which included a sausage sizzle, a mini doubles tournament, and a visit from Caloundra MP Jason Hunt.

The club was handed a $2000 sports grant and (almost as importantly) a coffee machine by Jason Hunt to sweeten the day for the club, which Dan said would be helpful towards the club’s upcoming plans.

“We’ve been very fortunate to have Jason support the club for a

sport

considerable amount of time now, and so it’s a great opportunity to meet face to face,” he said.

“We’ve been fortunate to get various grants for the resurfacing of the courts coming up and soon to be looking at revamping the aesthetics and going to seek more grants in the not-too-distant future.”

As for the family fun day, Dan said the club had a good attendance of eager kids and parents, and sparked interest in their brand-new tennis program.

“It’s been very well received, had a great turnout with kids from all levels and experience from first timers, kids as little as four- and five-years old right through to young teens,” he said.

“What was really refreshing was the amount of local people and that is really what we’re all about - to drive and steer the local community here.

“We’ve had many people register today, we have limited spaces remaining, which is lovely, and this program is a big deal for a little club like Landsborough so it’s exciting.”

The Junior Aces program officially starts at the Landsborough Tennis Club on Saturday August 6.

Dana ready for next level fighting DANA Coolwell is on the brink of “catapulting into the stratosphere” of the boxing world as he settles on a preferred weight ahead of his next bout.

His coach Steve Pitt said he was happy they decided to move him up a weight division as Dana has fit right into featherweight, currently placed 50th best featherweight in the world.

“Featherweight is his weight, it suits him, he made the weight easy and safely, he’s a bigger featherweight too,” the Hinterland Boxing boss said.

“It was a good move, he has settled into that weight now, and I feel like he is going to be hard to beat in featherweight.”

Dana was just as happy as his coach to change weight divisions, especially after a close loss earlier in the year which inspired their decision.

“I actually felt great, I felt a lot stronger at that weight, I got a dietician and made the weight pretty easily, besides one sauna, but other then that it was good,” he said.

His next fight is expected to be in late September or early October against a previously lined up opponent, either from Indonesia or the Philippines, although no bout has been confirmed.

Steve said he wanted Dana to continue to focus on his positives, especially his defensive skills.

news

“His defence is just outstanding, out of all the kids in the country he’s probably the most defensive kid at present,” he said.

“He’s on the brink of catapulting into the stratosphere of boxing, he’s got another two maybe three fights and then there will be something big.”

Dana shared the same sentiment as Steve regarding his continual growth in the sport from when he debuted in 2019.

“All the hard work is starting to pay off now and I’ve just got to stay dedicated and stay in the gym, and keep chipping away,” Dana said.

Beerwah Martial artists take on Korea

COMPETITORS from Beerwah travelled to Korea to compete in the Taekwondo Korean Open and to train with one of the best teams in the country.

San Training Centre owner Cameron Taylor competed alongside his wife Kasia and young black belt Charlie, and although none of them won their fights, they chalked it up as a great experience.

“It was really good we’d been in Korea for about two and a half weeks, we spent one week training with a professional team and one week of competing in the Korean Open,” he said.

Cameron and Kasia competed first against China and Korea over the first few days of their trip, followed

by Charlie, competing for the first time overseas, towards the end of the week.

Another Taekwondo event was taking place as well, which is compulsory for Korean students to compete in, so Charlie’s division had no Koreans, automatically placing him in the finals.

Following the competition they were able to train with one of the best Korean Taekwondo teams for a week.

“The training was really excellent, the team just won the national championships last week after we left so it was pretty nice to be there in prep mode for their competition,” Cameron said.

“We were actually super lucky to go there, I think we were the first foreign team to be allowed to train with them.

“It was a challenge for us and nice to be one of the first teams there, but they are always super friendly, by the end we were getting uniforms, belts and gifts, so it was a great experience for us.”

Cameron said the best thing about the training, was showing some of the younger students the standard of excellence needed to succeed in Taekwondo.

“I think the real benefit for the team was how hard the best people in the world are working so it just kind of gives you a benchmark for these guys,” he said.

Riding around the Glass House Mountains The AusCycling Queensland Individual Trials had their third round in the Glass House Mountains at the end of July, with cyclists of all ages competing.

Cyclists ages ranged from fifteen to nineteen years, and then over forty years in the master’s division, and completed at least one 13km lap around the township each.

Among those who cycled, who have previously competed in Toowoomba and North Arm, the two nineteen-year-old cyclists will be competing in the World Road Championships in September.

Out of the Sunshine Coast representatives, Parker Deutzmann came second in the under 15’s boys, Liam Cuthbertson came second in the under 17’s boys and Tinsley Janes came first in the D grade men’s division.

Craig Maskiell came fifth in the C Grade men’s division, Iain Matheson came fourth in the B Grade men’s division, and Isabelle Carnes and Jason Ford came first and third in the women and men A grade division respectively.

JUST FOR LAUGHS

37 38

A sticky situation

My wife had been at me for several weeks to re-varnish the fancy wooden seat on our toilet in the ensuite.

Finally, I got around to doing it one day while she was out shopping. After finishing, I went outside to take care of something else before she returned home.

The story is she came home, unpacked the shopping and undressed to take a shower. Before getting in the shower, she sat down on the toilet. As she tried to stand up again, she realized that the notquite-dry varnish had firmly attached her bottom to the toilet seat.

Just then I got home, heard her calling out and realised her predicament. We both pushed and pulled to try to release her but without any success whatsoever.

Scotch and water

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says, “I’m on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it’s today.”

The bartender says, “Well, since it’s your birthday, I’ll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me.”

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, “I would like to buy you a drink, too.”

The old woman says, “Thank you.

Bartender, I want Scotch with two drops of water.”

Finally, in desperation, I undid the toilet seat so she could stand up and sort of hobble along. She wrapped a bath towel around herself and I drove a very embarrassed wife to the hospital emergency room.

The ER doctor got her into a position where he could study how to free her (try to get a mental picture of this!).

My wife tried to lighten the embarrassment of it all by saying, “Well, doctor, I’ll bet you’ve never seen anything like this before.”

The doctor replied, “Actually, I’ve seen lots of them but I’ve never seen one mounted and framed.”

“Coming up,” says the bartender.

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, “I would like to buy you one, too.”

The old woman says, “Thank you.

Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.”

“Coming right up,” the bartender says.

As he gives her the drink, he says, “Ma’am, I’m dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?”

The old woman replies, “Sonny, when you’re my age, you’ve learnt how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.”
