abor or Liberal, cane toad or cockroach, Ford or Holden. On certain subjects, Australians have always been a nation divided, but there’s another hot topic that can cleave a community in two, and it’s the topic of MWP’s cover story – tattoos. To ink or not to ink, that is the question this week.

When I was a kid it was only criminals and old sailors (oh and my uncle Jon – the loveable rough diamond from mum’s side of the family) who had tattoos. Now every second person has got a sleeve or two. My dad waited till he was in his sixties to get his first – at the moment he has several, including the names of his daughters, my mum and the grandkids.

He recently started work on a rather fetching waterfall – half finished, my partner wondered if it wasn’t a retaining wall as Dad is keen on the garden. Anyway, I think this tattooing

thing must be addictive, and I reckon Dad gets a kick out of seeing my face when I discover a new bit of ink. I am not judging, I just think his arm was fine the way it was.

Love them or hate them, there’s been a cultural shift towards tatts, and this week Jarna Baudinette, who herself sports a touch of ink, is on the case to find out more. Turn the page to read all about it.

Over in property I have been chatting to a local builder who may or may not have ink (I didn’t ask) but has plenty to say about sustainability – check that out on page 46.

And on the subject of builders, this week we take a look at some worthy winners from the recent HIA Awards. That is on page 37.

We’ve been to Nambour for a special feature on the hinterland heart, which begins on page 33. And in style on page 26, we help you make a start on your race-day outfit.

“People are starting to realise the days when tattoos were only for sailors and criminals are far behind us”

Traci Castle

Leah Russ

SKIN PREVIEW Thanks to a new tribe of edgy ink-loving celebrities, tattoos have become an increasingly accepted part of mainstream culture.

But there’s still something a bit naughty about this most permanent art form.

So just what is it about a bit of ink in the skin that attracts some people and repels others?

WORDS Jarna Baudinette

A

DEEP

few weeks ago my boyfriend showed me a tweet that said you should aim to fall in love with someone who has a tattoo, because they know how to make a lifelong commitment.

This was funny to him because I have two tattoos – one on my left foot and the other on the inside of my right wrist. People are often surprised by this, and sometimes tell me I’m not the type of person they thought would ever have a tattoo.

However, I can think of at least five friends of varying ages who work in corporate jobs and hide tattoos under their business shirts each day (there are four of us in the MWP office alone).

The growing prevalence of tattoos in Australia – around a quarter of adults aged under 30 now have at least one – means it is increasingly difficult to predict what ‘type’ of person will be tattooed.

Tattoos have been around since ancient times and were originally used to identify members of particular tribes. They were introduced into Western cultures as a result of maritime exploration in the 17th and 18th centuries, as sailors who had come into contact with Polynesian ‘tatau’ returned home with pigment on their skin, and over time tattooing developed from a backyard art into a profession. However, it didn’t reach mainstream acceptance until the mid to late 1990s, mostly due to long-standing social views linking tattoos to deviance, violence and crime.

Today, the growing acceptance of tattoos has been linked to the popularity of heavily inked celebrities.

David Beckham, Pink, Angelina Jolie and Ruby Rose have helped glamorise tattoos as a permanent fashion accessory, and have also gone a long way towards challenging stereotypes of those who are tattooed. People who might judge someone in the street on account of their ink feel differently about their favourite actor or singer – and how many The Voice viewers were surprised to learn heavily tattooed Joel Madden isn’t an angry no-hoper, but actually rather charming and polite?

For many, tattoos are now accepted as an artistic form of self-expression. But the average person isn’t as rich or good-looking as Beckham, and even though tattoos are now common, they remain a polarising social issue. On examination of my wrist or foot, strangers sometimes feel the need to express disappointment by telling me tattoos are ugly or “don’t look nice on girls”.

Local woman Leah Russ, 28, has two decent-sized tattoos, one on each arm, and she says while they do draw attention the reactions are generally positive.

“I get a lot of comments, just walking down the street or from cashiers in shops,” she says. “If someone is going to say something it’s mostly good, like, ‘wow, love your artwork’, or ‘who did that’? (Local artist Liam Taylor, if you were wondering.)

Russ says rather than expressing angst or rebellion, she chose to get tattooed to spice up her life and style.

“It makes things more interesting and I like the look of tattoos,” she says. “The fact that it is going to be there with me for the rest of my life makes it even more special. You accept them as a part of you.”

Some tattoos are in memory of an individual or event, mark personal milestones or just express individuality. Local photographer Traci Castle got her first homemade tattoo at 14, and seven tattoos later, she has her husband’s initials, a personal mantra inspired by tough times (‘believe in the power of your dreams’), the word ‘wisdom’ and an old Canon AE1 camera – produced until the year she was born and the first camera she ever used – to celebrate purchasing her usiness.

into a studio. Artist Jamie Randall got his first tattoo several al he years ago and has been tattooing for three years. He says the er seven artists at his home studio, Mooloolaba Ink, now cover most styles of tattoo almost every day.

“You tattoo everyone, across the whole range,” he says. r“In the same day you’ll tattoo an 18-year-old and a 70-yearold, it doesn’t matter. And it’ll go from this [a tattoo the size of a 50-cent piece] to a full arm.”

People People’ss requests are just as in individual, and Randall says the challenge is to com come up with a design that suits them and wi ill last well. “Some things will just don’t work k aas tattoos,” he says.

“There’s a bigg d difference between drawing som meo on paper and someone then tattooi ing it on someone’s skin. tattooing Everyone’s di different, and everyone wants some eth something different.”

Most tatt to tattooists are artists in other forms – Ran da has always drawn and Randall has known hee w wanted to be a tattooist since high scho ool – but the fact you can school draw well on pap pe doesn’t mean you should d paper buy a machine of ff eBay and start tattooing off your friends. New w aartists in studios go through gh h an apprenticeship pp process, and while it isn’t as formal as a ty ypi trade qualification, it is typical crucial to bui b building the skill required to permanen ntl mark people’s skin. permanently “The ere so many backyard jobs “There’s comin ng iin, bad tattoos coming in, coming that w we have to fix,” Randall says. s.

living in a boys’ home. He was desperate to fit in with the alpha male culture around him, but saw “the quality of what the boys were putting on their arms and necks”, and didn’t feel he wanted to go down that path.

“These people now, when you see them, you’ll see their journey – you’ll see their mistakes, you’ll see their whole history,” he says.

Instead of snakes, skulls and cartoon mushrooms, Ladner opted for a small dot of blue biro ink on the inside of each wrist, to symbolise his Christian faith. He feels that combined with his six-foot-three stature, faded tattoos would now make it much harder to earn people’s trust at face value in his work at a community centre.

“You only get one chance at a first opinion.

And if you’re going to employ someone or deal with someone – straight away it’s a red flag,” he says. “There’s no going back from it – if it’s a mistake, it’s an absolutely permanent mistake.

You’re drawing a line and saying, ‘this is who I am’.

And that scares me.”

Ladner asks young people who are eager to get their first tattoos to think firstly about their own motivations – “Am I doing this just to fit in?” – and then about who is employing them.

“It’s people my age,” he says. “And some are enlightened, they’ve got insight; some are going to give these kids a chance. But some are not.”

“There’s an old saying that good tattoos aren’t cheap and cheap tattoos aren’t good”

However, even those who are strongly opposed to tattoos would be impressed by the p professionalism of Queensland’s top studios.

T Tattoo artists take great pride in their work and try tto ensure every client will be pleased with the finished product for life. As well as a hard and fast rule against tattooing anyone under 18, unless a p person is already heavily tattooed Mooloolaba Ink w won’t tattoo their neck, hands or face because it’s a “job stopper” – a tattoo that can’t be covered.

Russ sometimes covers her tattoos, including when she performs in a ’60s cover band which generally plays to an older crowd.

“If I am applying to rent or had a job interview I would cover them initially – because unfortunately people are still very judgemental – but like in any situation you also do it out of respect and to look your best,” she says. “Just like bothering to iron your shirt or apply make-up.”

Aside from making peace with the permanence, Randall says the best thing anyone planning to get a tattoo can do is to research the design they want, ask to see different artists’ portfolios, and then invest in good-quality work.

“There’s the old saying that good tattoos aren’t cheap and cheap tattoos aren’t good,” he says.

“That’s the best saying I’ve heard and it still rings true to this day. If you’re going to have it for the rest of your life, don’t skimp out on it.”

ANOTHER ACCOLADE FOR LIFESAVING LEGEND

A

ustralia’s first ironman champion, Hayden Kenny OAM, is set to become an Honorary Senior Fellow of the University of the Sunshine Coast.

The 76-year-old from Alexandra Headland will be recognised at USC’s graduation ceremony in October for his dedication to surf lifesaving and emergency rescue work.

The lifesaving veteran helped launch Sunshine Coast Helicopter Service Ltd with Roy Thompson and Des Scanlan in 1979. It was the first community-based helicopter rescue service of its kind in South-East Queensland and today operates as the AGL Action Rescue Helicopter.

Kenny was a helicopter crew member for 25 years until his

retirement nine years ago, but he is still actively involved in the company. His services were rewarded with a Centenary Medal from the Queen in 2001.

He says the helicopter rescue service has conducted more than 15,000 missions since 1979. “While it is difficult seeing people in these tragic situations, the relief the service brings to patients and their families at a very critical time is very rewarding,” he says.

“I still receive letters from survivors today – 30 years later – that are very personal to me. That’s when you feel unbelievable … and know that what you are doing does make a difference.”

Kenny has a long and decorated career as a lifesaving competitor, which includes winning the first Australian ironman championship at Coolangatta in 1966.

Kenny says he feels honoured to receive the recognition.

“I always envisaged these awards are for other people,” he says. “I have never considered that I’d be in that category and I am very humbled by it.”

Learn to Drink Rite and stay safe on our roads A safety event designed to teach locals the facts on standard drinks will be held in October.

Get the facts on standard drinks, breath alcohol concentrations and responsible drinking when the Yandina Bowls Club hosts a Drink Rite event from 6pm on Saturday, October 6.

The Drink Rite event includes a standard drinks presentation, with at least six participants consuming alcohol and then being given the opportunity to be breath tested by a police officer.

“Many factors determine the effect alcohol will have on a person at any given time, but the Drink Rite program shows participants how quickly standard drinks can increase their alcohol concentrations,” says Senior Constable Mark Readman.

POLICE SEEK INFORMATION

P

olice investigating two murders and a suspicious disappearance in Illawarra, NSW have renewed their appeal for information, one year after the first victim was killed.

Police believe the three incidents are linked and have released fresh images and CCTV footage that they hope will encourage witnesses to come forward.

Saso Ristevski, 37, became the first victim when he was shot dead after being confronted by three men inside his home at Barina Avenue, Lake Heights, on September 28 last year.

Witnesses saw the offenders running from the scene shortly after hearing the fatal gunshot, police revealed on Friday.

Five weeks later, on October 31, 35-year-old Goran Nikolovski was reported missing by his family after

leaving his Unanderra home in a Honda sedan.

Police found Nikolovski’s burntout car on a road off Macquarie Pass the following day. They believe he met with foul play.

Almost six months later, 32-yearold Darko Janceski was shot a number of times in the front yard of his home at Gannet Avenue, Berkeley, by a male on a trail bike.

He died in hospital.

Janceski’s father witnessed the April 14 shooting and confronted the rider, but was assaulted and suffered serious facial injuries.

Detective Inspector Dave Laidlaw, lead investigator of Strike Force Calligan, says police are confident the three incidents were linked.

“These three men were all known to each other and shared a number of associates,” Laidlaw says.

Timothy Powell, 33, is charged with using a weapon to prevent lawful detention, assault causing actual bodily harm and goods in custody.

Powell was shot in the leg following a violent confrontation with a police officer after being pursued into a Redfern apartment block on September 13, police allege. The constable was left with a fractured wrist, bites and scratches.

Powell did not appear in court and remains in custody at a Sydney hospital. He is expected to appear in court via audio visual link on November 15.

Not as Happy as you used to be? Is Stress, Anxiety, Depression or Insomnia overwhelming you?

]

Are Anti-Depressants not working for you? Find out why!

SIGNS OF WATER ON MARS

Do you find yourself irritated, not able to feel excited, or constantly thinking negatively? Do you have trouble sleeping, your mind won’t stop racing, or you wake too often through the night?

Do you get anxiety at bed time where you can hear your heart beating while your head is on the pillow?

One single underlying issue can cause all of these symptoms including anxiety, nervousness, depression, or lack of excitement and motivation for life. Stress feels overwhelming, and little upsets cause feelings of anger. Palpitations, excessive heat in the body, tingling in the hands or feet, irritable bowel syndrome, foggy brain and lack of concentration including ADHD in children, can also be present. Often these symptoms have been going on for months, years or even decades. You may suffer just a few of the above symptoms or perhaps all of them.

The cause has been found in the gut and seems to be widespread throughout the community.

It is a malicious infection mainly picked up from travelling overseas, or having contact with someone who has travelled which is often only detected in specialised testing. This infection has been shown to release a neuronal toxin, affecting the nervous system physically and mentally. It has not often been associated with mental health conditions even though studies are available

ASA’s Curiosity rover, on Mars since August 6, has discovered gravel once carried by the waters of an ancient stream that “ran vigorously” through the area, the US space agency says.

Scientists have previously found other evidence of the one-time presence of water on the red planet, but this is the first time stream bed gravels have been discovered.

The rocky outcrop, called Hottah, looks “like someone jackhammered up a slab of city sidewalk, but it’s really a tilted block of an

ancient stream bed”, project scientist John Grotzinger said in a statement last week.

The scientists estimate the water was moving at 90 centimetres a second and ran somewhere between ankle and hip deep.

Bacterial infections are just one part of a 7 step process for permanently treating depression, anxiety or ADHD. We have successfully treated hundreds of patients within months of beginning treatment. These are not conditions with unknown cause like many believe, and can be resolved quickly.

If you would like to know more, call the centre and arrange a free half hour consultation, or view the webinar “7 Steps to Freedom from Anxiety & Depression” at www.advancedwellness.com.au. A webinar is simply a seminar that you can see on the internet.

A US federal judge has ordered the man behind an anti-Islamic video that has angered Muslims worldwide to be detained because he is a flight risk.

US Central District Chief Magistrate Judge Suzanne Segal ordered Nakoula Basseley Nakoula be held after authorities said he violated the terms of his probation.

Nakoula, 55, was convicted in 2010 for federal bank fraud charges and sentenced to 21 months in prison. He was not allowed to use computers for five years without approval from his probation officer.

showing its impact on the brain. It can be passed on from person to person very easily, and so more than one person in a household may be suffering from similar symptoms and both may be affected.

Often, sufferers are able to correlate the first sign of symptoms, coinciding with a trip overseas where they experienced a tummy bug causing diarrhoea or vomiting. Australia is so close to the Indonesian countries it can be transmitted from, and Australians travel there often for their holidays, so imagine the amount of people coming back who could be infected and how it can be passed on quite easily through schools, day care centres, or places of work.

Fortunately it is quite easy to address, and most symptoms are relieved as soon as the infection has been eradicated. I have seen patients who have suffered depression for four decades, and after treatment for one month have improved out of sight. Other patients have shown improvement after just one week of treatment.

BRAIN BOOST E PREVIEW Can’t find your keys again? Don’t worry, you’re not losing it, you may just need a few memory-enhancing tricks to keep your mind fresh and firing on all cylinders.

A There are many ways we can sharpen our minds and actually improve memory as we age

re you fearful that your cognitive powers are spiralling out of control as a result of the ageing process?

While it is true that cognitive powers begin a slow, gradual descent around age 45, this decline is not always an inevitable result of the ageing process. And having fleeting but frustrating moments when you cannot remember where your glasses are, or recall the name of someone you haven’t seen for a while, does not mean you are destined for serious memory issues.

Major memory loss is generally caused by organic disorders, brain injuries or neurological issues.

Fortunately, when it comes to increasing learning and memory skills, research confirms there are many ways we can sharpen our minds and actually improve memory as we age.

USE IT OR LOSE IT It is believed exercises that stimulate the brain such as reading, travelling, card games, memory games, musical

instruments – even changing your daily routine around – help stimulate the hippocampus, the part of the brain most responsible for memory.

It is also a good idea to challenge the brain by introducing new activities that you have never done before.

GET MOVING Regardless of what part of the body you want to strengthen, you need to follow the ‘use it or lose it’ principle.

When you begin to exercise, muscles will use oxygen at a significantly higher rate, increasing blood flow throughout the body, including the memory-brain area.

Just as exercise helps to keep arteries to the heart open, exercise will do the same for blood vessels in the brain. Even exercising in small doses can help sharpen your memory, but it is important for memory enhancement that the exercising be consistent. Some studies indicate that regular exercise workouts can even reverse ageing in the brain.

FAST FACTS The average brain weighs approximately

1.5 kilos and has about 100 billion neurons. by interacting with friends, whether by phone or in person, can stimulate the brain.

In a recent study from the Harvard School of Public Health in the US, researchers found that people with the most active social lives had the slowest rate of memory decline.

And if friends aren’t readily available, don’t forget the friendship and love of a pet. They both come with cognitive benefits.

HIT THE SACK While occasional bouts of insomnia are generally nothing to be concerned about, chronic sleep deprivation can negatively affect memory recall.

If you have trouble sleeping, you might want to try listening to a progressive muscle-relaxation tape.

The bigger bookshops may carry these kinds of CDs, otherwise you can log on to the internet to buy online or download.

CHILL OUT Chronic stress (activating the stress hormone cortisol) is a major contributor to memory loss. Because

We are continually developing new neurons throughout our lives if we stimulate our brain though mental activity.

The brain is 75% water and uses about 20% of our oxygen when we are at rest.

The human brain is the fattest organ in the body and may consist of at least 60% fat.

The brain stops growing at age 18.

The average number of thoughts that humans are believed to experience each day is 70,000.

we cannot totally eradicate stress from our lives, it would be better to think in terms of stress management rather than stress elimination.

Introducing relaxation techniques such as relaxation breathing into your daily living can help to defuse the biochemical and physiological reaction to the pending stress. Try this technique: inhale deeply through your nose to a count of four, hold your breath for several seconds, then exhale through the mouth, taking twice as long (eight seconds).

Don’t forget to laugh as this is a great stress reliever. And learn to say no before taking on added responsibilities when your plate is already full.

TOP UP Drink before you are thirsty. Even a slight amount of dehydration can reduce mental energy resulting in memory impairment. It is recommended you drink at least 1.5 litres of water (not tea, coffee or soft drink) a day.

EAT WELL Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Fish sources are salmon, trout, tuna, sardines, mackerel and herring. Non-fish sources include walnuts, pumpkin seeds and soybeans.

Brightly coloured fruits and vegies provide antioxidants, which play a major role in improving memory function. Foods rich in folic acid are

spinach, kale, asparagus, black beans and romaine lettuce.

Some Alzheimer’s experts say eggs improve memory. That’s because they have vitamins important for nourishing the memory centre in your brain.

GET STRETCHING Try these exercises. A hip rotator stretch stretches outer muscles of hips and thighs. Lying on a mat, bend knees, feet flat on floor. Keeping knees together and shoulders on floor, slowly lower knees to one side, as far as you can without forcing them; turn head in opposite direction. Hold position for 10 to 15 seconds.

Hip and lower back stretch – on your hands and knees, with abdominals contracted to support your back, extend one leg diagonally to the back.

Standing side stretch – standing tall, left ankle crossed over right ankle, hold onto a support with the left hand. Inhale as you lean away from the support, exhaling as you take opposite arm over to centre of head.

The Saw (Pilates) stretches sides of the back, hips and hamstrings.

Sitting tall, extend legs, toes flexed, about shoulder-width apart, arms stretched out to the sides, shoulderheight. Contract abdominals, exhaling while turning torso and head to the right, reaching left hand to ankles or toes, without lifting hips off floor. Extend other arm diagonally to the side, shoulder-height.

s most competent financial advisers believe, investors should start their investment strategy by choosing an appropriate asset allocation.

That is, deciding on how best to spread capital across the key investment asset classes.

Academic studies and experienced investment professionals widely accept the asset allocation decision is likely to be the predominant driver of the variation in an investor’s investment returns.

By selecting an appropriate asset allocation, an investor should maximise the probability of successful investment outcomes, at a level of risk most suited to their investment objectives.

Inexperienced investors sometimes wish to invest all their capital in the single asset class which they believe will perform most strongly over the short to medium term. For example, a common question is whether it is a good time to sell property and invest the sale proceeds in the stock market, or should you sell your shares and go to cash? History suggests that such decisions are very difficult to time correctly.

Risk-return characteristics of asset classes have differing levels of risk and return. In general, cash and fixed-income securities are considered to carry the least amount of investment risk, while Australian shares, international shares and many types of alternative assets are considered to carry a higher level of risk. That is, they typically have greater volatility in their returns.

Listed property trusts had traditionally fallen somewhere in the middle. However, listed property has become riskier, displaying higher return volatility. This reflects the wider range of business activities in which listed property trusts have engaged over recent years.

The key to asset allocation is combining individual asset classes in the best proportions to obtain the

optimal overall portfolio trade-off between risk and return. The goal is to combine assets with different risk and return profiles. If you diversify across very similar investments, which all perform alike during similar economic and market conditions, then the benefits of diversification are reduced.

Therefore, diversifying across bonds, shares and indeed the whole spectrum of asset classes and within asset classes permits sensible investors to construct an overall portfolio that has a superior trade-off between risk and return.

HEALTH WINS OUT OVER MINING

OUTLETS PLANNED

Further afield, communities around the health hub are also growing. Residents of the Brightwater community will soon have a new cafe, noodle bar, supermarket and beauty salon on their doorstep.

The first tenants of the Brightwater Market Place have been announced with grocery and retail specialist ALDI heading the list of new arrivals to the community. Construction work has also started on a family tavern for Brightwater, which is expected to open next year.

The new lakefront tavern and ALDI store will sit alongside about 10 specialty stores, a plaza and spectacular water feature to form a $20 million

hile the rest of the nation watches the mining industry and asks, is the massive growth over for now?, one industry is sure to remain strong in the years ahead.

My Weekly Preview spoke to demographer Bernard Salt about what the health precinct means for the Sunshine Coast.

“In the four years since the GFC there has been a standout sector for job growth and it’s not the mining industry,” Salt tells MWP. “There have been more than 200,000 jobs created in the heath/community care sector since August 2008

In an ideal world the Sunshine Coast would not only deliver state-of-theart health care but also wellness programs

Bernard Salt

and around 100,000 created in mining.”

Salt links the massive growth to the ageing population. “Health is a driver of job growth in the 2010s, linked of course to ageing and the expectation of services by the boomer population now pushing beyond 65.”

It’s encouraging not just for the Coast’s health workers but for many Coast businesses that the health care sector is not likely to decline. “One industry that will not rise and fall on the Sunshine Coast over the next decade is health care,” Salt says. “It can only rise in direct proportion to the ageing of the population base.”

So how should Sunshine Coast residents, business and the council look to capitalise on the health hub? “In an ideal world the Sunshine Coast would not only deliver state-of-the-art health care but also wellness programs,” says Salt.

The ALDI supermarket, specialty stores and tavern are a great mix of services David Laner community heart for Brightwater. The owner and developer of the project is Pratt Property Group.

Stockland regional manager, David Laner, says the Brightwater Market Place is just one of the many reasons people had chosen the community to build their new homes. “We are excited to join with Pratt Property Group and ALDI in announcing this development for Brightwater,’’ he says. “The ALDI supermarket, specialty stores and tavern are a great mix of services for the limited commercial space we have available.’’

Laner says the presence of an ALDI store will also be likely to bring more visitors to Brightwater from the surrounding areas.

SHOPPING LIST • 2.3 litres whole milk • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream – not ultra-pasteurised or sterilised • 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice • 1/8 teaspoon salt

METHOD

BLESSED ARE THE CHEESEMAKERS

R

icotta is insanely easy to make, and once you’ve had a taste of the real thing, you will be swearing off those tubs of grainy, flat-tasting ricottas you find in the supermarket. Plus, making it yourself costs far less than what you might pay in a cheese shop.

Like many other things in life, the trick is not to rush the process.

Ricotta is the most elemental of cheeses and a great lesson in fresh cheese-making.

In essence, you gently heat whole

milk, cream, fresh lemon juice and salt very, very slowly so that the curds (or solids) gradually separate from the liquid whey and float to the top. That slow heating keeps the curds soft, giving the ricotta its authentic creamy quality. Then you drain off the liquid whey by pouring the curds into a strainer lined with cheesecloth or a thin kitchen towel.

That’s it. Your ricotta will keep four to five days in the refrigerator.

The whey could be saved for soups and baking.

This is the recipe. It yields about

500 grams of cheese, and halves or doubles easily.

If possible, use organic dairy.

Anticipate this recipe taking 90 minutes from start to finish. You won’t need to hover over the stove all that time, but you will need to be in the vicinity (a good time to settle in with a favourite book). Have an instant-reading thermometer handy, and a good-sized sieve lined with cheesecloth (which can be some supermarkets and most kitchen shops) or a thin kitchen towel, and set over a large bowl.

Stir all the ingredients together in an eight-litre, non-reactive (enamel or stainless steel-lined) saucepan over medium-low heat.

Cook until the milk reaches 85 degrees, about 40 minutes.

Turn the heat up to medium, and slowly bring the milk’s temperature up to 100 to 105 degrees (about six to eight minutes). Avoid stirring to keep the developing curds large. At this point, the curds should mound on a spatula like soft-cooked scrambled eggs.

Turn off the heat, and let the ricotta rest in the pan another 10 minutes. Line a sieve with cheesecloth (it’s a good idea to wet it to keep it in place) and turn out the contents of the pot and allow to drain for 10 minutes. Add more salt if desired. Keep it covered in the fridge.

LOSING IT AT OKTOBERFEST

W

ith about eight million beers downed each year at Germany’s Oktoberfest, you might expect a few items to go awry, but the lost-and-found office at the world’s top beer fest really has seen it all.

A total of 4900 items were lost at last year’s festival, with the objects missing ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. Alongside 1220 items of clothing, 420 mobile phones, 380 pairs of glasses and 70 umbrellas, presumably wellrefreshed party-goers also mislaid a megaphone, a dog, a viking helmet and five wedding rings.

Four out of five items that wash up in the office are never claimed, explained the head of the lost-andfound bureau, Mike Mueller.

“The problem is that people get drunk and only realise they’ve lost stuff the day after,” he explains. “As

a lot of the people are tourists, they have already left and they can’t get back to reclaim their things.”

On the opening days of the festival, the intake is always meagre, Mueller said as he took down the details of a dirndl-clad woman who had lost her mobile.

Only a few dozen items were lost so far, but he expected the pace to pick up later.

“We’ve seen everything. People have lost wallets with thousands of euros, diamond engagement rings, all sorts of valuable stuff,” says Mueller. “The most commonly lost items were keys, jackets, mobile phones and wallets.”

In the same building, there is also an office for reclaiming children lost in the Oktoberfest crush, complete with toys to entertain the wayward kids while their parents are on their way. “Last year we also had an abandoned

wheelchair and two pairs of crutches so you have to wonder how those people got home,” Mueller says.

The wheelchair was later claimed by its owner but no one ever came back to pick up the crutches. “Maybe they were cured by the beer,” he says with a smile.

Lost property is kept throughout the 16 days of the Oktoberfest. Items left unclaimed are moved to Munich’s main lost-and-found office, from which Mueller and his team are seconded every year for the festival.

Objects lost by the millions of foreign visitors to the world’s biggest folk festival are transferred to their respective embassies and consulates, says Mueller, adding that last year, he made a furry find before its owner even knew it was lost.

A dog belonging to a businessman at a nearby firm wandered onto the fairgrounds, hoping to lap up some tasty treats.

The canine festival-goer was eventually delivered to Mueller, who rang the number on the dog’s collar to tell the owner the good news.

‘Don’t be silly, he’s under the table,’ insisted the owner, before realising that in fact the dog was missing.

The grateful but slightly sheepish businessman came to collect his pet an hour later, Mueller recalls with a chuckle.

This year’s Oktoberfest runs until October 7.

OKTOBERFEST FACTS Oktoberfest is a 16-day festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany.

The event was first held in 1810, to celebrate the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig, who later become King Ludwig I, to Princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen.

In the 200 years since, the event has been cancelled numerous times due to World War One and World War Two, and various outbreaks of cholera.

The beer is served in steins that hold a litre of liquid, and while the glasses are sought-after souvenirs, they remain the property of the landlords, and anyone attempting to steal one risks being charged with theft.

ollowing in the footsteps of Florence Welch, some talented flame-haired ladies will grace Woombye Pub on October 13. Emerging Brisbanebased acoustic folk darlings Georgia Rose and Sally Ann are impressing audiences with touching vocal harmonies and astute songwriting that captures the sweet, melancholic angst of youth.

The stage will then belong to Emily Lubitz, the commanding six-foot frontwoman of Tinpan Orange, who return to the Coast to launch their ambitious new album Over the Sun. Written firstly at home

in Melbourne and later in the back of a Winnebago in the wilds of Canada with her four-month old baby in tow, the album is a rich tapestry of songs spanning from the free-wheeling abandon of hit single Barcelona to the high romance of the title track. Emily’s brother Jesse is on guitar, Alex Burkoy provides achingly sad violin and keys and Harry Angus – of Cat Empire fame – brings the brass.

8 BALL ROLLS INTO TOWN

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME WHERE: Maroochydore Surf Club & The Yacht Club, Mooloolaba DATE: Oct 5 & 6 respectively TICKETS: Contact venue Melbourne-based piano, guitar and vocals duo Wizard & Oz have a strong following on the Sunshine Coast, partly due to their unique ‘home concerts’.

Eccentric and brilliant piano man Andrew Farrell and guitarist David McMillan will be at local venues this weekend with a high-energy performance tinged with jazz, blues, R&B and contemporary influences.

Banana picker turned guitar picker ‘8 Ball’ Aitken will play a free Palmwoods show as part of his Biscuit Tin Guitar tour – named after his three-string hillbilly instrument, homemade from an old Arnott’s biscuit tin.

One of north Queensland’s favourite (and most eccentric) musical sons, Aitken has recently returned from a tour of North America where he performed at the prestigious Americana Music Festival in Nashville, Tennessee. He will head back there after this 45-gig run, which is in support of his latest release, Alive in Tamworth, recorded live in the eponymous Australian country music capital last year.

As well as his novel 13-minute ‘crocabilly’ epic – inspired by his hometown “and the many stories about tourists not knowing where to swim” – Aitken’s recent achievements include raising more than $4000 for

the Leukaemia Foundation by shaving for the first time in almost a decade.

He still has plenty of hair to go around though.

“I am really excited about my new album and I want people to have a mental vacation to the land of country, blues and swamp music at the gigs on this tour,” he says.

WHERE: Palmwoods Hotel DATE: Saturday Nov 3, 8pm TICKETS: Free

alma Hayek keeps her weight in check by stepping on the scale daily and declining rich French food and fine wine when she hits her so-called ‘alarm number’.

The Mexican actress, who lives in France with her businessman husband Francois-Henri Pinault and their daughter, admits she often overindulges on her adopted country’s cuisine – but she knows when she’s gone too far.

“I’m not a skinny girl. I push it.

I’m at the limit of chubbiness at all times, but I’m happy at all times,” she’s told More magazine.

“Everybody has a weakness [and] mine is food. If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you’re in a good place and you’re in a bad place at the same time. You have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number. When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse,” she says.

NAMBOUR COMES OF AGE

B

reaking away from its old sugar town shackles, Nambour is reinventing itself to become the new jewel in the Sunshine Coast crown as a quirky, eclectic and lively hub.

Nambour used to be the town that you would visit to catch a train or go to the hospital but it is fast becoming a destination for new businesses, people looking for a different shopping experience and tree-changers looking for a relaxed, alternative lifestyle.

As the 10-year anniversary of the closing of the Nambour Sugar Mill approaches, the town has long crawled out from under the blanket of “black snow” produced by the sugar mill, and locals and business owners are upbeat and optimistic about the town’s future.

The township is focused on bolstering the retail sector, attracting new business and supporting local businesses, which is being led by the proactive Nambour Retailers’ Group and Nambour Alliance in

partnership with the Sunshine Coast Council.

Rhonda Billett, local business owner and chairwoman of the Nambour Retailers’ Group, says there are many boutique businesses operating in Nambour that you wouldn’t find elsewhere and a few new ones coming to the community soon.

“It’s fabulous to see the myriad distinctive, quirky businesses in Nambour and the level of personalised service they offer is second to none,” Billett says. “We are seeing a real resurgence of businesses recognising the value of being located in such a vibrant and eclectic hub as Nambour.

“People travel for miles to come to Nambour because of the different shopping experience. We don’t want to offer the same as Sunshine Plaza or the chain retail outlets; our focus is on quirky bookstores, retro and vintage clothing, gifts, arts, crafts, and some of the best cafes in the region,” she says.

Nestled between the hills and the ocean, the town offers affordable housing and a laid-back, diverse lifestyle.

“So many of our local businesses really appreciate the low rents they pay compared to other local areas and that is great for their bottom line as they can invest back into

their businesses as well as employ more staff,” says Billett. “A trip through the town centre (or ‘Vill’ as it is known by the locals) reveals a vibrant, progressive hub. It’s a great place to come and explore the eclectic shops and appreciate some great personalised service.”

he organisers of the Housing Industry Association’s 2012 HIA-CSR Sunshine Coast/Wide Bay Housing Awards could not have asked for a better setting for the annual event. On a warm spring evening, guests mingled by the lake at Twin Waters to watch the sun set and sip champagne before getting down to the business of recognising

the talented and hardworking people from the Coast’s building industry.

Dozens of awards were handed out and in congratulating the winners and finalists, HIA’s Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay branch manager Stuart Collins said, “Each year the [awards] attract an outstanding array of entries across a number of different housing forms, with this year being no different.”

Several months later, they had turned the rundown Tuscan-style home into a contemporary abode. After gutting the property, they installed new electrical wiring and plumbing, squared off the curves and put in new windows, among other things.

The Custom Built Home award winner by Unique Builders of Distinction Another of Clearyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projects, in Buderim, had also been nominated in this category, but it won Sunshine Coast/Wide Bay Outdoor Project for Cleary and his team. The home was a little old two-storey property that was completely renovated, including having a pool and stunning decks added into an outdoor area that has a natural creek running through it.

A kitchen in an Alexandra Headland home helped EMI Interior Design and Update Cabinets walk away with the Sunshine Coast/Wide

Bay Kitchen Design and Kitchen Project awards respectively. Located in an existing home, the kitchen presented a few challenges for the team, but the result is a stunning space where the new owners, who are thrilled with the result, spend plenty of time entertaining family and friends. Unique timber batons and mitred stone are highlighted by the well-placed lighting.

ike most people, I’d quite like to own a Mercedes-Benz.

But like most people, the privilege has eluded me thus far – even though, unlike most people, I’ve had the chance to drive lots of cars with the famous three-point star.

Up until now, I’ve generally encountered only two types of Benz.

Firstly, there’s the ones I’d love to own, but could never afford. Think E-Class, S-Class, CLS, CL, SL and

MY W EEKLYPREVIE W. CO M . AU

SLK and, of course, anything with an AMG badge. Driving them is fun, giving them back is the hard part.

Then, there’s the Benz models which I could theoretically afford, but wouldn’t necessarily want as my own car. Into this basket go the A-Class, B-Class and, until recently, the C-Class. However, that has changed with the arrival of the newest – and best – C-Class model Benz has ever produced.

This classy compact sedan – which looks and feels like a ‘true’ Benz, with roughly the same entry price as a top-end Holden or Falcon – has put more people behind the wheel of this iconic brand than ever before.

But, for me, there have always been a couple of sticking points with the C-Class.

Until now. An updated model, released earlier this year, has removed Continued over page>

FEATURES Nine airbags (front, side airbags front and rear, full-length window bags plus driver knee airbag); Electronic Stability Program with Pre-Safe safety system, ABS, attention assist; leather trim, automatic headlights and wipers, electric windows and mirrors, front and rear parking guidance system, satellite navigation with 7-inch colour display, 10GB music storage capacity with iPod inputs; 18-inch alloy wheels.

THIRST 5.1L/100km (official combined figure); emissions 134gm/km.

VERDICT The most popular Benz is set to become even more popular.

BOTTOM LINE $67,900 plus on-road costs; entry-level C200 from $58,900.

alone a nimble little sedan. It makes the Benz a seriously rapid little device – particularly when accelerating in traffic or for highway overtaking – while it also powers away from the lights with enough grunt to pin you in your seat, and get you to the speed limit in a tick over seven seconds. And it does all this while sipping as little as 5.1 litres per 100 kilometres. In a test drive almost exclusively restricted to city driving, we managed an excellent 7.5 litres per 100 kilometres.

We also tested the same engine and transmission package a week after our C-Class drive in the big-brother E-Class – which demonstrated the supreme quietness and refinement of Benz’s new executive sedan – a couple of rungs above the C-Class in that regard.

And, for the extra money you’ll pay to get into the E-Class, the baby Benz looks like good value.

In fact, my neighbour has just bought a new E250 which, until now, was the target of some driveway envy. But, given the choice, I’d be quite happy with the C250 instead.

I know it probably seems ridiculous to talk of a $60,000-plus car as a bargain, but this new Benz comes pretty close.

As well as some well-chosen cosmetic tweaks to the outside, the new C-Class has received some brilliant new engines, the very good 7G-Tronic self-shifting gearbox and, perhaps most impressive of all, a truly classy interior makeover.

What hasn’t changed, happily, is the nimble and well-resolved way the baby Benz rides and handles.

The AMG sports package ($4850) fitted to our test machine further enhanced the look, and for the price it’s pretty close to a must-have on this model. The package includes lowered suspension and an excellent, chunky sports steering wheel.

MY MOTORING INSIDER The latest news from MWPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s man on the ground.

Mercedes Supercar rumours

Sewage could replace petrol!

Rumours are rife of an expected announcement from Mercedes regarding entry into the 2013 V8 Supercar series. Nissan has already confirmed entry after teaming with Kelly Racing with a 5.0-litre V8 Altima. An entry from Mercedes will bring the number of brands contesting the series to four.

It is likely Stone Brothers Racing is involved but at time of print there has been no official confirmation, or denial.

Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nikkei Business daily reports cars could be running on a byproduct of human sewage within three years. It involves a consortium that is investigating a process that turns sewage into hydrogen for use in fuel-cell vehicles. The consortium has told the Nikkei that extracting hydrogen from sewage is cheaper and more environmentally friendly than traditional methods. It claims the process cuts carbon emissions by 75 per cent. Obstacles still remain with fuel-cell vehicles but Honda already offers a fuel cell-powered FCX Clarity for lease in the US. Nissan will also show a fuel-cell concept car at the upcoming Paris Motorshow.

August sales boom Sales results in August indicate a jump in consumer confidence. On a month-to-month basis 93,552 vehicles were sold in August 2012 an increase of 6.2 per cent on August 2011. Industry data showed Toyota retained first place in the sales ladder with 19.2 per cent of the market in August. Holden held second spot with 12 per cent.

Hyundai and Ford tied with 8.3 per cent, while Mazda took 8.2 per cent.

Burgers vs diesel trucks: whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the bigger polluter?

According to a study by the University of California, Riverside, commercial burger restaurants create twice the amount of pollution as a diesel truck. The study showed that the commercial charbroilers are the cause, producing significantly more pollutants than a diesel truck.

Another study of which this insider is yet to see the significance!

Series production for zero-emissions Hyundai

More grunt for MINI

TOYOTA’S USED CAR BRAND

T

oyota Australia has launched a new brand that it says will provide factory-backed reassurance for people buying pre-owned Toyota cars.

The Toyota Certified Used Vehicles program provides added inspection and warranty coverage plus 12 months’ roadside assistance on eligible used Toyota vehicles.

The program is for vehicles less than four years old with fewer than 100,000 kilometres on the clock.

Toyota Australia executive director sales and marketing Matthew Callachor says the program offers high-quality options to customers

interested in purchasing pre-owned Toyota cars.

The Toyota Certified Used Vehicles includes an additional comprehensive 12 months/50,000 kilometres used-car warranty that is valid across Australia at any of Toyota’s 280 dealership points.

Vehicles can be certified as a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle only after undergoing a minimum 90-point quality assurance inspection.

The report can also confirm whether a car has been written-off, stolen, suffered flood or storm damage and whether the odometer readings are accurate or not.

Hyundai will begin series production of its hydrogen ix35 Fuel Cell vehicle by the end of 2012.

The company says it will become the first global auto maker to begin commercial rollout of a zeroemissions vehicle.

In December, Hyundai will begin production of the ix35 Fuel Cell at its Ulsan manufacturing facility in Korea, with a target of building up to 1000 vehicles by 2015.

Hyundai has already signed contracts with cities in Denmark and Sweden to lease the ix35 Fuel Cell to municipal fleets.

“Zero-emissions cars are no longer a dream,” says vice chairman Woong Chul Yang, head of Hyundai R&D. Our ix35 Fuel Cell vehicle is here today, and ready for commercial use.”

MINI Australia has announced two new entry engine variants for its two-seater range, the MINI Cooper Coupe and MINI Cooper Roadster, which arrive in Australia in November.

MINI Australia general manager Kai Bruesewitz says the new Cooper variants will be in hot demand.

Powered by a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine boasting a fully variable valve control system, the MINI Cooper Coupe drives from a standstill to 100 kilometres per hour in just nine seconds, with an average fuel consumption of 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres. The Roadster covers the sprint in 9.2 seconds to 100 kilometres per hour while burning 6.1 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres.

SOLVING THE SUSTAINABILITY

PUZZLE PREVIEW Building a new home and want to do it the sustainable way?

Read on.

WORDS Jemma Pearson

Y

ou can’t avoid it, the buzzword of building and home renovation industries in the noughties and beyond – sustainability. But what does it mean, and how do you build a sustainable home?

David Hallet is the general manager of Archicentre, the advisory arm of the Australian Institute of Architects, and he believes rising power bills will increase demand from consumers for more sustainable homes across the nation. Hallet says the pressure of housing affordability is now not just in the initial cost of the homes, but spreads to maintaining that home in the form of electricity, water and gas costs.

“Cutting escalating costs of energy and water will become a powerful economic force in driving green sustainable homes into the mainstream and the market will increasingly look for increased performance and savings from design,” Hallet says.

OK, so sustainable is the way to go. But what is a sustainable home? Jason Bowker is the owner of local building company Planet Homes. His company is one that is concerned with sustainability, but, perhaps surprisingly, Jason isn’t that comfortable with the ‘s’ word. “When I was thinking about starting up Planet Homes, everywhere there were stories about ‘green’ design,” he says, adding that he is concerned the words ‘green’ and ‘sustainable’ have lost their meaning, and been hijacked in the push to market a product to the masses. “Plenty of businesses will tell you they are ‘green’,” Bowker says. “So it has become difficult for the public to know what is ‘green’.”

For Bowker, the Sunshine Coast climate makes it tricky. “We want sun [in our homes] for four months of

the year and then we don’t want it eight months of the year. It is a delicate balance to get it right and it is not one single factor that makes your home, to use the buzz word, ‘sustainable’.”

Planet Homes works on the idea of “performance and comfort – they are the words I likes to use”.

Bowker’s goal is to create for his clients highperformance buildings (in other words those that don’t cost a lot to run) that are comfortable to be in. He breaks it down to three factors that are critical to make a home more sustainable: “technology base [such as solar panels], material base [which includes insulation] and design base. Each three are important but design is perhaps the most critical.”

But, unfortunately, the most overlooked. Bowker adds, “It’s the age-old principles. When the early European designers came to Australia they built these little boxes they were used to building in northern England and then they realised airflow is critical, so they built Queenslanders with high ceilings and wide verandahs,

Renovating and not building?

You can still make your current property more sustainable.

Here are a few tips: • If you are planning to put in new flooring, choose timber floorboards sourced from sustainable forests. Want tiles?

Choose a product that is manufactured as close to home as possible – cutting down on transport makes the product much ‘greener’.

and that is OK in Townsville. But on the Coast we need sun sometimes and shade sometimes. But now we have gone back to boxes. Everything is driven by cost and this is the mentality of bigger, better, cheaper.”

So what’s the answer? Bowker points to those three principles of technology, materials and design. “Design is the one that is largely missed and it is the one that is critical.”

Design involves things like building in appropriately sized eaves, getting the orientation right to maximise sun in winter and block it in summer, window placement, direct air transfer and volume. Bowker says if you want to remove hot air in summer you have to have high ceilings.

Northerly-southerly orientation is one that is time and again missed. Unfortunately, big square homes are much more difficult to make ‘sustainable’.

“L and U shapes are best,” says Bowker, adding that it is much easier to add the ‘sustainable’ elements to homes that are these shapes. But unfortunately, it does add to the cost of a building as these houses have more external walls for the space inside than a simple square.

“If you are going to have lineal buildings it is more expense,” he says. “To get the performance, well, of course it will cost more.”

MY W EEKLYPREVIE W. CO M . AU

47.indd 1

He adds, “Consumers have good intentions but it is overwhelming – there’s a lot of misinformation out there.”

So what should those who are sincere about building more sustainably do? Bowker warns against relying on star ratings alone, and asks consumers to be wary of those builders that simply “build a house with insulation, whack on a solar panel and call it sustainable”.

“Insulation is just one area – many builders use the star rating but for me it is not the be all and end all.”

Avoiding the McMansion is a good first step. Bowker often encounters clients who insist on 300 square metres of living space without understanding that they should be looking at design first. “Let’s not be driven by size, let’s be driven by good design.”

Bowker knows his homes won’t appeal to all buyers – particularly first-home buyers whose main concern is keeping costs low. The typical Planet Homes client is “third-time house buyers who want something different – they have a level of information but they want more”.

And he’s happy to educate the public on sustainability.

“I want to bring sustainable building to the urban market – make it mainstream.”

Sounds like a pretty ‘green’ aspiration.

• Cut down on VOCs – paint, carpet, adhesives and many other building materials release toxic fumes into the air, sometimes long after the builders have left. And that is the stuff you breath in that can cause allergies and illness. Go for low-VOC paints made with more environmentally friendly ingredients.

• Talk to your lighting supplier about ‘greener’ alternatives to power-hungry lights. LEDs are great, but if you can design your home to draw in natural light, you’ll be flicking the switch on later, thus saving power.

• Recycle, where you can. Reuse bricks from your own home for retaining walls or barbecues, and send old carpets, bits of steel and timber to the recyclers rather than throwing them in the skip.

YOUR DREAM HOME IS WITHIN REACH First-home buyers are expected to flock to the Bells Reach display home centre.

A

new display home centre will open its doors at Bells Reach in October following the release of the latest home sites at the Caloundra community.

The Bells Reach Living Display Centre will showcase 20 popular home designs from some of Queensland’s best known builders. Builders featured at Bells Reach include Plantation Homes, GJ Gardner Homes, Brad McLachlan Homes, Ausmar Homes, Morcraft Homes, PJ Burns Builder, Dwyer Quality Homes, Grandview Homes, Bold Properties, Hotondo Homes, Stylemaster Homes, Coast Life Homes, Planbuild Homes, PA & DS Burns and Thompson Sustainable Homes.

Stockland has also unveiled the Sky Release at Bells Reach – a selection of new home sites located close to the Village Park. The latest blocks range from 250 to 540 square metres, and are priced from $159,500. Home and land packages start from $329,500.

The new display centre will be launched in style on Friday, October 12, with a free event featuring hip-hop dance troupe Justice Crew, roving entertainers and a fireworks finale.

Justice Crew Stockland project director for Bells Reach, Ben Simpson, says the Living Display Centre opening will be a big milestone for the community, which will soon have its first residents.

“First-home buyers building new will be especially interested in seeing what is available now they can access the new $15,000 First Home Owner Construction Grant,” Simpson says. “We are also helping out with a $10,000 Reality Cheque bonus from Stockland on selected home and land packages until October 14, which means first home buyers can get up to $25,000.”

FRESH FROM NZ First National Mooloolaba has a new business development manager, with recent New Zealand expat Robyn Sanders stepping into the role.

Sanders relocated to the Sunshine Coast from Christchurch 18 months ago and has broad experience in the real estate industry, having worked in administration, financial, sales support and property management roles. Her enthusiasm for the industry has also motivated her to personally invest in many properties over the years.

Sanders says she is excited to take on the new role and is looking forward to forming long-lasting relationships with her new clients.

“The office has an experienced team and I am proud to be a part of that”, she says.

“The Sunshine Coast is a lovely place to be living and I am enjoying my spare time meeting new people, travelling around and enjoying what there is here to offer.”

Live where town meets nature.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Swell has arrived! It will be six foot with perfect offshore winds – the only problem I see is you will need to travel to Sumatra in order to enjoy it. A costly exercise I can tell you! As for the local front you will need a long board and a sense of humour for this time of year as the northerlies take control. I suggest searching the northern corners for something out of the wind and lower your expectations.

If you score something above that it will be a bonus and will make your day – woo hoo!

If you have children why not make it a day where it’s about them. This will work for you on two fronts – one, the kids will love you for it and two, you have earned brownie points for when the surf is really pumping and you want to disappear for a few extra hours.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Holiday makers are reporting good catches of whiting in the rivers using worms and yabbies. Light line and small (size four and six), long shank hooks are the best as whiting have small mouths, hence the small gap hooks.

Whiting are known to feed in shallow water, so an incoming tide over the banks is preferable.

SURF: Chopper tailor, dart and bream are in the deeper gutters, and using baby blue pilchards on small gang hooks ensures a hook-up.

Flurocarbon leader is an added advantage because the water is so clear and regular leader can been seen and can spook the fish easily.

OFFSHORE: When conditions allow, a good mixed bag is on offer. Catches of cobia, tuna, and snapper at mostly close-in reefs have been caught this week.

FRESHWATER: A local fishing club visit to Borumba Dam last weekend proved yellowbelly and saratoga were easy targets. Upper reaches of the local rivers are lively with late afternoon proving fruitful.
