hen I moved back to the Coast from Sydney four-and-a-half years ago, I imagined my career would take a battering. Sure it was nice to be back home, close to family and the beach, but surely something had to give, and I wouldn’t continue the career I had enjoyed in the southern capital. I reckon I got lucky that a new magazine was just starting up and they needed a journalist. I was also pretty lucky that my new workmates were a great bunch of people and several years later we are all still here, getting along nicely, with a few new additions. But enough of that. This week for our cover story Leigh Robshaw has been talking to a few Sunshine Coasters who have left the city behind and not only did their careers not suffer as a result, but they are thriving.

THE BEST OF

BOTH WORLDS PREVIEW The Sunshine Coast is an increasingly popular destination for virtual commuters – professionals who have said goodbye to cities such as Sydney and are able to enjoy our lifestyle without giving up their big city salaries. WORDS Leigh Robshaw

eaving the city to move to a regional area or country town was once career suicide for professionals in the prime of their careers. But with the advent of the internet, many people are now telecommuting to city jobs from their home off ces by the beach or in the hinterland, and hopping on a plane to the city only when face-toface meetings are required. It’s a lifestyle many aspire to – enjoying the status and pay packet of a job based in the big smoke, while living a more relaxed lifestyle free of traffic jams and parking problems. But how well do city careers really survive a sea change or tree change? It all depends on the career, according to Alan Stokes, director of the National Sea Change Taskforce. “Professionals are often better placed than tradespeople because often they’re working for clients who are distributors on a national basis, not just working in a local catchment area,” says Stokes. “If you’re a software developer, your major clients can be in Silicon Valley or Palo Alto and every so often you can make the trip to go and see them. It doesn’t matter where you are. “We call them virtual commuters – people who commute via broadband. Initially, when this trend started in a fairly small way – I’d say going back 10 years or so – there were a number of industry sectors that were early adopters, like software developers, graphic designers and writers, including journalists and freelance writers. I’ve noticed that

group of professionals is expanding and you now find other professionals like engineers, architects, lawyers, investors and researchers of one sort or another.” Tony Pepe works as a director and producer of TV commercials and corporate videos for high-end clients in Sydney. He spends two-thirds of his time working from home in Diddillibah, where he has acreage, and a third in Sydney. He says he was “very much a city person”, having lived in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney before moving to the Coast five years ago, but has grown less dependent on city attractions over the years. “I’m quite lucky in the sense that some of my work can be done from any location with technology,” says Pepe. “I can do pre-production from home and I can have virtual meetings via Skype.

I can get a lot of work done early, go and sort the horses and chooks out, and then engage with my family at a reasonable hour and not be forced into stereotypical office hours. That’s the most beneficial part of it. In the city I used to leave [home] at 6.30 in the morning and get home at 8pm, and with a young child, you basically miss them. On the weekends, you’re an overcompensating dad and a renovator and all the other things you do as a dad. “If you take the overall mean, I have a much better quality of life now,” he says. “I get to spend more time with my daughter. There are stresses with being away, but I have a very supportive partner and everyone has learnt to adapt. When I come home, I’m keen and happy to be home because I can spend time doing the good things.” Pepe says he could not have moved to the Coast and kept his career intact without the internet, a sentiment echoed by Montville’s Melanie Leontine. A former TV presenter and music journalist from Sydney, Leontine runs Ecoterrestrial, a VIP tour company that takes high-profile celebrities like Lady Gaga and rock band Muse to meet koalas, kangaroos and other native Australian wildlife at venues like Australia Zoo, while they’re on tour in Australia. “Without exaggeration, I’m on the internet every hour of the day, at least once an hour. If I didn’t have the internet up here, I wouldn’t have moved. I couldn’t have – there would be no way I could maintain my contact with the entertainment industry.” Leontine had been visiting friends in Montville for a number of years before she

<from previous page facilities, more media and more marketing at your disposal – but you also have more competition and it’s more challenging. There are also the challenges of a mass of population in a small space, getting parking and travelling between venues.” While Genevive is happy she doesn’t have to battle the traffic anymore, she says her sample machinists, cutters and sewers are scattered all over the Coast, from Tewantin to Kawana, whereas in the city they’d be situated in closer proximity. And she could easily feel out of the loop, being so far from the fashion centres of Sydney and Melbourne, but she doesn’t. “What I’m doing isn’t mainstream fashion and I don’t do catwalk trends,” she says. “Little Green Dress is all about classic pieces and sustainability. I design long-lasting quality garments rather than clothes that are in and out of fashion in a heartbeat. It’s a stand against disposable fashion.” In that sense, being located in Maleny is perfect for her business. “Being in Maleny certainly had an influence on the seed being sewn for Little Green Dress,” she says. While Genevive moved to the Sunshine Coast to be closer to family, many city professionals say goodbye to their families and city friends when they make a sea change or a tree change, and it can be difficult adjusting to

a new life without those support networks. Alan Stokes says the people who adapt best are those who do their research well before moving. “If you don’t do the research, you might find you don’t enjoy the community as much as you did when you were on holidays,” says Stokes. “Shifting into a community permanently is different; it’s not an easy thing and it has to be well planned.” It’s clear many are willing to take the risk, not only in moving their careers but in being separated from loved ones. The growth rate in coastal areas outside Australia’s capital cities is more than 60 per cent higher than the national average and is gaining momentum. “If you’re in Hastings Street or on the beach or in Mooloolaba, it’s a very pleasant place to have a cup of coffee,” says Stokes. “It’s worthwhile looking around at the people having that cup of coffee. Often they’ve got their iPad or laptop with them and they’re going through their emails. They’re working there. “If you’ve got broadband access and you’ve got an airport not too far away, if you need to travel to a city, then that’s the ideal location. Really the Sunshine Coast is well served in that respect. If you’re in a professional field where it doesn’t matter where you’re based, then why wouldn’t you want to live near the beach?”

From holiday to home ‘Amenity migration’ is now a major social trend. It’s a term used to describe the process whereby city dwellers, having found their favourite holiday destination, then move there. According to a report by Ralf Buckley (International Centre for Ecotourism Research, Griff th University, Qld, Australia 2005), the reasons are varied, such as choosing quality of life and lower property prices over income. However, they also have “the opportunity to continue high-paying jobs and businesses quite effectively from rural areas for as long as they have good internet connections, couriers and airports”. According to Buckley, the historical tradition of amenity migration in Europe was for wealthy retirees to move from the colder northern cities to warmer southern beaches. In North America, the main amenity migration trend in recent decades has been for active younger entrepreneurs to move to mountainous areas such as the Sierras and the Rockies.

After hearing the news, East and West Germans gathered at checkpoints on either side of the wall and demanded the gates be opened, and at approximately 10.45pm the guards relented and people began to pass through freely. While official dismantling didn’t begin until June 1990, November 9, 1989 is celebrated as the day the Berlin Wall fell.

TAKING ON MT KILIMANJARO

Sandra Barrett, Megan Meineke and Debbie Ladd lace up for a cause

hree Sunshine Coast women will be teaming up with a group of adventure seekers from across the country next September to take on Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, in support of Make A Wish Australia, the charity that helps children with life-threatening medical conditions. The expeditioners will climb 5895 metres to the Roof of Africa over seven days and trek via the Machame Route, which is the most scenic, and steepest, route up the

mountain, across some of the roughest terrain in below zero temperatures to reach the summit. The trio of local businesswomen, Debbie Ladd, Megan Meineke and Sandra Barrett, will be taking on this challenge together. “We are incredibly excited to be a part of this adventure and for the opportunity to support such a worthy cause,” says Meineke. “I am sure there will be much anticipation and trepidation in the lead-up and while there is undoubtedly much to look forward to, the next nine months will be very busy with a full schedule of fundraising initiatives, training walks and preparation ahead of the big adventure.” The trio will host their first fundraising event at the Maroochydore cinemas on Friday, November 23 with the screening of the next James Bond film Skyfall. To book tickets call Meineke on 0413 033 017 or visit trybooking.com/CAXV.

Creating a sustainable future for the Coast Sunshine Coast business leaders and policy makers explored the region’s unique identity at the recent Sunshine Coast Futures: Sustainable Villages conference. International and Australian experts discussed how our interconnected urban centres across the Sunshine Coast can achieve a harmonious balance between identity, community, business and prosperity. Hosted by both the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) and the Sunshine Coast Council, the conference featured local speakers such as Mayor Mark Jamieson, Professor Mike Hefferan from the USC and Sunshine Coast Destinations’ Steve Cooper as well as international experts. At the conference Jamieson underscored the important role economic sustainability plays in helping secure the region’s future. “What is crucial for us to be successful as a city – and by that I mean securing investment, exploiting economic outcomes from major development and retaining our community and lifestyle attributes that we prize so highly – is to clearly and convincingly establish our point of difference.”

Lots planned for free community youth event An upcoming community event is aimed at informing Sunshine Coast residents about the services and assistance available to the region’s youth. Connect4Expo, which takes place on Tuesday November 29, will bring together sports groups, education and training providers, business and industry, community groups and of course, parents and families. The event will feature live demonstrations, experts that will discuss a range of topics, stalls, entertainment and much more. It’s free to all and is taking place at Felicity Park, Omrah Avenue, Caloundra. For more information visit connect4expo.eventbrite.com.

HELP FOR A SICK DAD When Wayne Patten, partner at PJT Accountants, helped raise a whopping $12,500 in the 2012 PJT Charity Bowls Event, he had no idea just how close to his heart the fundraising cause was. A year ago, Patten was in Nambour Hospital for a sinus operation and felt helpless knowing his father – who is sick with lung cancer – was in a Brisbane hospital for EBUS testing. EBUS (endoscopic bronchial ultrasound) accurately diagnoses various stages of lung cancer, and there Wayne Patten is no EBUS service on the Sunshine Coast. Coincidentally, the funds Patten raised in the charity event went to Wishlist’s ‘Got a buck for an EBUS’ appeal. “Each year our bowls day raises funds for Wishlist, and I was thrilled to hear the funds are going towards buying an EBUS for the Sunshine Coast,” Patten says. EBUS is desperately needed by the Sunshine Coast Health Service District and Wishlist has taken on the challenge of raising the $300,000 needed to purchase it. With lung cancer being the most common cause of cancer-related death on the Sunshine Coast, Wishlist CEO Lisa Rowe said the EBUS will make a phenomenal difference to local families faced with the prospect of the disease. Wishlist is urging the Coast to get behind this appeal by donating online at wishlist.org.au or organising a fundraising event.

GST NOT A PRIORITY: SWAN

AAP

reasurer Wayne Swan says the government will not change the goods and services tax (GST) because doing so would hit battlers hard. One of the leaders of the Federal Government’s review of the GST, Nick Greiner, has called for a new assessment of the tax. The GST review, headed by the former NSW Liberal premier, former Victorian premier John Brumby and Ferrier Hodgson partner Bruce Carter, handed its final report to Swan last Friday. The treasurer in March initiated the review following complaints by Western Australia about the fairness of the system for distributing the proceeds of the tax to the states and territories. Greiner has said to rule out any discussion on changing the GST is “stupid”. But Swan has repeated the government’s opposition to changing the GST. “We believe the GST, by lifting

or broadening the base, would really hit people, particularly battlers, really hard,” Swan told ABC radio from Mexico on Monday. “That is not a priority of this government.” Swan said he would publish the government’s response to the report and discuss it with the state treasurers later this year. The GST, a 10 per cent rate on many goods and services, is collecting less revenue as a share of the economy since the global financial crisis. It does not apply to several categories including fresh food, education or health. AAP

Abbott, PM still on the nose with voters Tony Abbott will be seeking reassurance from Malcolm Turnbull that he doesn’t want his job, after a poll showed overwhelming support for Turnbull to return as leader of the opposition. The Galaxy Poll published by News Limited found 60 per cent of voters believed Turnbull would be a better choice as leader than Abbott, who could manage just 29 per cent support. The news was just as bleak for Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who has to keep Kevin Rudd at bay. The poll also showed 49 per cent of voters want Rudd leading the Labor Party compared to 34 per cent for Gillard. However, Labor keeps making inroads in the coalition’s lead in the primary and two-party preferred votes, according to the poll of 1003 people that was conducted over the weekend. The poll found Labor’s primary vote firmed four points to 35 per cent since the last poll in June while

Tony Abbott with his daughters Bridget (left) and Frances on Derby Day the coalition’s support eased two points to 47 per cent. On a two-party preferred basis the coalition held a winning lead at 53 per cent to 47 per cent, which would result in the minority government losing 20 or more seats if an election were held now. Galaxy boss David Briggs says apart from speculation about another leadership challenge, Gillard’s other problem is the lack of trust. Sixty-three per cent of voters did not believe her claims she was recruited only on the day Rudd was overthrown as prime minister in 2010. AAP

RIO ELECTS KING AND QUEEN

io de Janeiro has new royalty. Evelyn Bastos, a 19-year-old student and member of the famed Mangueira Samba school, has been crowned queen of the 2013 Rio Carnival while Milton Junior was re-elected as iconic King Momo. An emotional Bastos, who joined Mangueira – Rio’s oldest Samba school – at the age of four, beat her more muscular rivals and thanked her many supporters upon receiving the sought-after title. “I am not alone in wearing this crown as many people helped me,” she said as she choked back tears. “I am 100 per cent natural,” she added in an apparent dig at her rivals, many of whom appear to have silicon-injected breasts and buttocks. “I entered the contest as representative of Mangueira Samba school and now I am representing all the Cariocas (Rio residents) who will take part in the carnival. It is very rewarding,” Bastos said at the ceremony held in Rio’s northern Samba City. Bastos, whose mother served as Mangueira percussion queen three years in a row and was her major

inspiration, said she underwent five months of gruelling training for the job. She walked away with a prize of $US10,000 ($9650). Junior, who weighs 160 kilograms and is 184 centimetres tall, was again picked to serve as King Momo, the Rio Carnival’s symbol of overweight excess. King Momo is traditionally given the key to the city and leads the crowds in wild partying and frantic samba dancing at the world famous carnival on February 9 to 12. Junior is carnival king for the fifth year in a row and his selection was greeted with some boos. He also earned a prize of $US10,000, in addition to a ceremonial crown, sash and mace. “King Momo transmits to the entire world, throughout the city, the joy of samba, surrounded with beautiful women, the queen and the princesses,” the 33-year-old said. “Our marvellous city is rich with its values and culture and samba is our foundation,” he added. Leticia Guimaraes and Clara Paixao were chosen as carnival princesses and won $US7500. AFP

ourism Australia’s biggest ever campaign aims to draw young people and backpackers from around the world to our shores. Its multimillion-dollar marketing push has a strong focus on the working holiday visa program. Tourism Australia managing director Andrew McEvoy says the visa program is an excellent platform to build a campaign aimed at enticing young people to Australia. The move comes after a Federal Government decision to increase application charges for working visas by working holiday-makers. However, McEvoy says he does not believe an $80 price hike will deter young people planning to travel for extended periods to Australia.

LONG HAUL “The youth market contributes more than a quarter of all Australia’s international arrivals and these visitors tend to stay longer and disperse widely,” McEvoy said ahead of the Australian Tourism Directions Conference in Canberra last Thursday. “For many young people, the working holidaymaker visa program provides the economic means to fund travel plans, and this will be the inspiration behind our future new campaign.” New research into how global consumers view Australia and the triggers for motivating them to come here are to be revealed at the conference. The research, commissioned by Tourism Australia and carried out by BDA Marketing Planning in 11 key international markets, identified Australia’s best assets as its coastal, aquatic and wildlife experience. Better marketing for Australia’s quality food and wine offerings was needed, it said. McEvoy says the research helped identify Australia’s real strengths and fine-tune its overseas promotion, and the findings suggest a lot is being done right when it comes to prioritising resources

and marketing activities. “It’s encouraging, for example, that the highest levels of intention to visit are amongst Chinese and Indians, two of the markets we are most aggressively targeting,” McEvoy says. Tourism Australia chairman Geoff Dixon says the industry is on track to achieve its 2020 goals, with a resurgence in domestic tourism and China’s economic growth. “Tourism Australia has deliberately and significantly accelerated its strategies to pursue growth in Asia,” Dixon says. While the Australian industry is fast transitioning, with international focus shifting from western to eastern markets, Tourism Australia is committed to keeping a balanced approach to global marketing. “There is also a seismic shift from marketing through traditional mediums to digital and social media platforms,” Dixon says. “It is my view that our industry’s ability to capitalise on this shift will be vital to our future success.” AAP

members have been eager to know how they can benefit from the project, which is set to inject $1 million per day into the Sunshine Coast economy. “Lloyd Hill, Queensland state operations manager at Ramsay Health, indicated 60 per cent of the workforce used in the construction of the private hospital has been sourced locally,” MacDermott says. “We are seeing direct benefits, with the Sunshine Coast one of the few regions in Queensland to show an increase in confidence in the property industry, as shown in the December Quarter Property Council- ANZ Property Industry Confidence Survey.” Andrew says Stockland had seen increased interest in the residential component of the development, following the rebranding of the area to Oceanside Kawana.

Full steam ahead for university hospital Community members will see the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) site come alive this week as SCUH builder Lend Lease establishes its temporary satellite site off ce. The temporary office, established from early November, will be located in front of the underconstruction private hospital on Kawana Way until the main site office is established in mid-2014. Lend Lease’s project director – SCUH, Mark Buckle, says he looks forward to the satellite office’s establishment as it will give Lend Lease a real presence on site. “The community will start to see activity on site, as Lend Lease operates from the satellite office while the large-scale earthworks are undertaken on the main hospital site,” he adds. Additional activity on site in the coming weeks includes the completion of external site fencing and the installation of driveways to create access for future works.

Buckle says the next significant piece of work will be foundation preparation before construction of the main buildings commences. “To provide the hospital with solid foundations, a large number of foundation piles are required,” he says. Foundation piles are large concrete posts driven into the ground across the site until they connect with the hard rock below the surface. The first step of this process is to install eight test piles in the centre of the site, which will be completed in mid-November. Buckle adds environmental monitoring is a crucial part of Lend Lease’s construction plans. “During early November we will concentrate on important environmental controls on the site including baseline monitoring of noise, dust, air quality and vibration and establishing sediment control measures to ensure run-off water is treated appropriately before leaving the site,” he says.

KEEPING AN EYE ON BHP AND RIO TINTO

Justin Scattini is from Ord Minnett in Buderim

he recent commodity price downturn, rises in capital intensity and continuing uncertainty of the global economic outlook have caused BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto to postpone a number of projects, slow them down or cancel them altogether. In most cases we believe these were prudent decisions. We estimate BHP has shelved or slowed $US63 billion (about $61 billion) worth of projects, while Rio has slowed $US2 billion. Despite the slowdown in growth spend, we estimate both companies will enjoy around a six per cent compound annual growth rate in production over the next five years. BHP has higher near-term growth following its significant investment in petroleum (US shale); however, Rio catches up over the medium term as Pilbara iron ore operations ramp up. Longer term, based on approved projects, Rio has a slightly higher growth rate as iron ore continues to ramp up, although this could be partially offset by further curtailments or divestments in aluminium. Rio continues to trade at a discount to BHP, despite offering a similar production growth profile. BHP offers more defensive characteristics due to greater diversification. The catalyst for both stocks is improved sentiment towards global (and Chinese) growth. At its annual investor seminar, Rio Tinto trimmed its Chinese GDP growth expectations to slightly below eight per cent in 2012. However, the company did note the recent rebound in iron ore prices and early signs that significant quantities of uneconomic iron ore supply have already come out of the global market. Rio Tinto does not see clarity emerging on Chinese growth until after the leadership transition. Over the longer term, Rio Tinto expects the familiar themes of Chinese GDP growth and urbanisation will remain the key

drivers until the mid-2020s, supporting four per cent average growth in domestic steel production for the rest of the decade, peaking in 2030. In the long term, the growth of the middle classes points towards accelerating growth for consumptiondriven commodities such as titanium dioxide and aluminium. Rio Tinto’s focus on technology (such as driverless haul trucks) has also led to a significant build-up of intellectual property. It may take time for this advantage to become obvious, although it could be a powerful longer-term driver of performance.

major study of Australian marketing and agency professionals has revealed digital media skill sets in the industry are incredibly low and major training is required. The Digital IQ Index Survey has found that across eight key digital marketing categories, only 28 per cent of respondents possessed the necessary range of skills for their roles. The results, which were collected from June to September this year, also revealed only four per cent of staff were ‘very familiar’ with social media marketing while 11 per cent said they were ‘not familiar at all’ with the platforms. Lisa Harrison is the developer of the country’s only accredited social media marketing training course and says the results of the study are shocking, saying companies need to pull up their socks or they risk falling behind on the world stage. “There are close to one billion users on Facebook today,” Harrison says. “If your company isn’t on there already, you can be sure people are talking about you anyway. If your staff are not equipped to deal with feedback and followers on social media platforms you could be passing up customers

Lisa Harrison to competitors who have these resources.” Results from the survey also show 70 per cent of people in digital media and marketing roles admitted to having no online experience before their current roles. Seventytwo per cent of staff admitted to being uncomfortable with their current level of digital skills, while just five per cent said they were comfortable. “With the proper training, people from any industry can take control of their social media presence and start to build healthy online communities of brand advocates.

Not all bad for Westpac Westpac has become the second of the big four banks to post a fall in full-year prof t, with the tax implications of its takeover of St George causing a 15 per cent fall to $5.97 billion. But the ongoing tax changes, which delivered a $1.1 billion profit in the previous year but a $165 million charge in the year to September 30, masked an improved underlying performance

for Westpac. Its cash earnings in the 12 months to September 30, which takes out one-off financial items, were $6.598 billion, up five per cent from the previous year and above analyst expectations of $6.46 billion. Last week, National Australia Bank reported a 22 per cent fall in net profit to $4.08 billion because of its struggling operations in the United Kingdom. AAP

Overseas: Korean debt rises, Apple challenged In international business news it was reported this week that South Korea’s total public and private-sector debt has reportedly soared to $US2.75 trillion (about $2.65 trillion) due to greater spending to stimulate growth and growing household borrowing. Over in Mexico, a Mexican telecommunications firm named iFone has declared victory in a trademark battle with Apple’s iPhone, exposing the US company to a potential compensation payment. And in further good news for one of Apple’s rivals, Samsung Electronics says global sales of its flagship Galaxy S III smartphone have topped 30 million since its debut in May. AAP

How to pick a sweet peach PREVIEW ‘Education Through Libation’ is Dr Plonk’s motto. He has spent most of his legal drinking age life around wine, and through his many wine travels is focused on the fun, frivolity and the demystif cation of wine.

VB AND WINE DON’T MIX

he smell of lanolin, VB and cigar smoke is a heady mix and a portent for disaster, as I leave western Victoria for the famed Coonawarra with three Victorian sheep farmers. My clumsy brother-in-law, known as Goof, is the king of guffaws and can’t help mischief. Then there is Torto – named after his father’s horse who won the Cox Plate in 1974 – and Deli, a dyed-in-the-wool bloody Collingwood supporter. Do these blokes like wine? Of course they do. The trouble is, Goof has to have a VB between each wine tasting; not each winery, but each glass. Torto is happy to throw it down like his namesake after a race. Deli has a good wine collection and for a Collingwood supporter, shows some fine tastes in reds. The day starts well with tastings at Rymill, onto Redman’s, Wynns and other icons. That evening we find ourselves in the main bar at the Royal Oak Hotel,

where we’re staying the night. At the close of the night, Goof and Torto decide to leave me and Deli to finish our nightcap. Five minutes later, as Deli and I walk up the stairs, there’s a hell of a commotion, with threats of summoning the local constabulary. Vacating the hotel is suggested in language Ken Done couldn’t find enough colour for. It turns out the boys have hidden to scare me and Deli, but unfortunately ambushed the owner of the hotel with the night’s takings. Money strewn everywhere with fists in the air, as he thinks he’s being bailed up. Commonsense prevails and we leave in the morning – very early. Unfortunately, Goof leaves a bag behind. So he stealthily retrieves it, only to be chased out by the owner. As we speed off quicker than Garry Glitter’s chauffeur out of Scotland Yard, I can see the owner sprinting down the road akin to the scene from Terminator 2. I guess it’s true that you shouldn’t mix the grape and the grain.

There’s nothing that says ‘summer’ more than the luscious burst of f avour on your tongue from a soft nectarine, peach or plum, and grower’s say this year’s crop is excellent. “Nectarines are probably 50 per cent of the market for stonefruit in Australia,” says stonefruit expert Rowan Little, from grower and distributor Montague Fresh. Although Aussies love their stonefruit, Little does despair about the way we select and store them. “The biggest mistake by far is putting it in the fridge,” he says. “If you put a firm piece of stonefruit in the fridge it will not ripen and become sweet and juicy.” We also reject the sweetest fruit because of how it looks. “Ironically the sweetest fruit are the ones you might have seen

with speckly dots all over the top of the fruit; that’s what we call sugar speckle. Little also advises nectarine and plum enthusiasts who are looking for the best fruit to eat immediately and ignore those that are bright and shiny – this means they’re not quite ripe. Little says smooth-skinned fruit with a dull sheen is ready to eat but if it’s shiny, just bring it home and wait until it’s ready. “You only really need to leave it in the fruit bowl for 24 hours and it’ll make a massive difference,” he says. “From supermarket to being able to eat it I would say should be no more than 36 hours.” AAP

Beyond that, it will be business as usual. “The thing we try to focus on more than anything is ensuring staff are continuously motivated,” Tristan says. The monthly staff barbecues and keeping workers in the loop on important aspects of the business maintain motivation and loyalty, says the dealer principal.

And as well as looking towards the future, Tristan is keen to keep the connection with Coastline’s past. He says his father’s involvement in the business has “brought us closer together. His support has been invaluable.”

Honda has sold more than one million hybrid vehicles across the globe since 1999. Honda Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stephen Collins says the milestone demonstrates there is strong demand for environmentally conscious vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honda is a global leader in the development of hybrid technology, having introduced hybrid motoring to the world and later to Australia with the launch of the first-generation Insight in 2001,â&#x20AC;? Collins says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hybrid market is growing in Australia as awareness increases, legislation changes and consumers choose vehicles that are more efficient and better on their hip pocket.â&#x20AC;? Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hybrid vehicles use the Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) system, which combines a conventional petrol engine with an electric motor that recharges by capturing energy from braking.

Honda Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s range of hybrid vehicles, which currently comprises the Insight, Civic Hybrid and awardwinning CR-Z, is set to grow with the launch of the new Jazz Hybrid that will arrive in Australia in early 2013. Honda is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest engine manufacturer, a leader in automotive research and development and is consistently rated a top performer in customer satisfaction. There are more than 400,000 Hondas on the road in Australia.

The new-generation All-Wheel Drive Subaru Forester will make its world premiere in Japan on November 13. The premiere will be followed by an Australian launch in quarter one, 2013. Since its launch in 1997 the Forester has become Subaruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time best-seller in Australia and has dominated its market segment

for four consecutive years until 2011. At the end of October 2012, more than 169,000 will have been sold in Australia. Managing director of Subaru Australia Nick Senior says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This fourth-generation Forester is the most significant we will have launched since the original back in 1997. There is more change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; substantial technical change â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and innovation, than ever before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But above all, the new Forester is an SUV that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be confined to the suburbs. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a vehicle that could have been designed specifically for the Australian lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-road, all-conditions, all-seasons and this new one will go further than any previous Forester.â&#x20AC;?

Construction has commenced on a new 5241-square metre manufacturing facility and showroom for successful local business Australian Off Road at Caloundraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunshine Coast Industrial Park. Australian Off Road manufactures high quality off-road caravans and camper trailers and has been rapidly expanding in recent years. Now with more than 90 staff and four basic models of off-road vehicle in production, the company needs more space to meet customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expectations. When completed in mid-2013, this new building will allow Australian Off Road to consolidate three existing premises into one state-of-the-art facility which will feature a 480 square-metre showroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new facility will not only allow us to consolidate three premises into one, but it will allow us to expand into new models to meet customer demand,â&#x20AC;? says director Steve Budden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will also allow customers the opportunity to see our production process from a dedicated viewing area.â&#x20AC;?

etrol prices have never been higher, but motorists can make a tankful last a lot longer if they abide by these savvy fuel-saving principles. • Anticipate the road ahead and change up a gear before the rev counter reaches 2000 rpm. After setting off, change smoothly into second gear as soon as you can and up to third when the car is moving at 30 kilometres per hour. At 40 kilometres per hour you should be in fourth gear with top gear engaged above 50 kilometres per hour. • Maintaining momentum will also save fuel. Decelerate smoothly by reading the road. Turn off the engine when standing at red traffic lights for more than 10 seconds and avoid blipping the throttle when you move away. • Keep your speed below 120 kilometres per hour on the motorway. Air resistance is proportionally greater above 100 kilometres per hour, which sends

fuel consumption spiralling. Also, keep windows closed at these speeds as they will enhance drag, forcing the engine to work harder and consume more fuel. • Check tyre pressures regularly. Pumping up the tyres to a maximum of 0.5 bar above the inflation level recommended by the manufacturer will cut rolling resistance and bring a fuel saving of up to three per cent. It’s worth noting that wider tyres are often less economical too.

• Further frugality of between two and five per cent can be gained through the use of low-viscosity oils. These oils produce less friction between moving parts in the engine, thereby reducing fuel usage and boosting the responsiveness of the power plant. • Losing weight from the boot is a good idea as extra ballast carried around in the car will make it thirstier. Further streamlining effects can be gained by removing racks and luggage boxes. • Air-conditioning and all those creature comforts such as electrically heated seats devour fuel too. They all get their power from the alternator, which is driven by the engine. • Before an engine reaches normal operating temperature fuel consumption soars – along with wear and tear as the oil needs to be warm before all the components are lubricated smoothly. So avoiding short journeys keeps fuel bills down.

PREPARING YOUR HOME FOR

PARTY TIME PREVIEW With the festive season drawing near, now’s the time to spruce things up around your house and garden. Then you can sit back, relax and celebrate great times with good friends and family, knowing your home is doing you proud.

re you gearing up for the fun, hectic, exciting, summer-loving, partying, giving, family gathering season that we are now entering? Perhaps you are ready to go, but is your house ready too? If you are expecting to host parties and invite guests overnight, perhaps it’s time to give your house a critical look, and this might involve a certain amount of revamping. First, let’s be realistic about what can and can’t be done in time. Major projects – like renovating the kitchen or the bathroom or adding a room – aren’t reasonable to consider. Projects that big take several months to complete. So if major renovating is on your mind, wait until after Christmas. You might find contractors who will promise completion of a major project before Christmas, but be careful. Cutting corners to get the thing done could cost you more in the long run. And if they miss their

deadline, it might mean you live in a halffinished home for weeks while the builders down tools for the Christmas break. What can be done in time? Well, first you should make a list of what needs to be done. If you are hosting parties, you will want the rooms you plan to use to be arranged so they allow for mingling and afford a good flow from one room to the other. Will your kitchen be the centre of activity with guests? Will it accommodate your needs? Do the bathrooms look clean and up to date? Does the guest bedroom look inviting? After answering these questions, you’ll be ready to start working out the kinks. Let’s begin with the kitchen. If you need a new benchtop, a new sink and some fresh paint, you should be able to get it all done by the end of November. Even new cabinets can be installed by then. If new appliances are needed and replacements fit in the same space as the old M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

11/5/2012 1:06:44 PM

ones, the appliances can also be easily added in time. There are always sales and deals to be done at this time of year. What can’t be done is a knock down, tear down, start-fresh approach. Update the bathrooms by getting a new toilet, redoing the wallpaper or paint, and getting a new sink, taps and mixers. If necessary, add new cabinets, too.

Take a look at your guest bedroom and ask, would I want to spend a few nights in there? You can easily reinvigorate this often-forgotten room by adding a new bedspread and cushions. Old-looking lamps and leftover dull pictures should be replaced. Of course, a fresh coat of paint will help, too. Look at the room from a fresh perspective and take it from there.

OLD-LOOKING LAMPS AND LEFTOVER DULL PICTURES SHOULD BE REPLACED. OF COURSE, A FRESH COAT OF PAINT WILL HELP, TOO

Look around the house and take the opportunity to update old pieces of furniture. If you are going to have a house full of people it might be a good idea to rearrange or store pieces that you don’t use, to give some more floorspace for guests to mingle. There should be enough seating and small tables around for use and comfort, but people like to stand and talk while partying, too. A nice flow makes for better mingling. Out the back it’s time to get on top and stay on top of the gardening. Keep trees and bushes trimmed and the lawn mown before the summer rains get in and cause growth to become out of control. AAP

ENHANCE YOUR KERB APPEAL We’re all told not to judge a book by its cover. But, like it or not, your house doesn’t get the same break. Everyone, from neighbours to friends, dinner-party guests and especially visitors to your open house will form an impression before setting one foot inside. How, you ask? Things like unkempt flower beds, weeds in the driveway cracks and peeling paint on the front door might not seem like much, but fix them up, and you’ll go a long way towards making your home seem more welcoming and inviting. Spring is a busy time for real estate agents, but even if you are not planting a ‘for sale’ sign in your front yard, take the opportunity to rework your entrance. You’ll start hearing that treasured phrase – kerb appeal – directed your way. FIVE THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN LOOKING TO IMPROVE YOUR KERB APPEAL: 1. Winter mess: If you thought rakes were just for the autumn, think again. Spring is a great time to bring them out again to clean

4. A tin of paint: Now it’s time to tackle that tired outdoor furniture. Just because a piece looks a little long in the tooth, your first instinct shouldn’t be to replace it, but to repaint it. There’s almost nothing, short of total rot, that a coat or two of fresh paint can’t help. The same goes for fences.

2. Mulch: This doesn’t take a lot of time but makes a huge improvement. Mulch makes everything look neater and cleaner. It even hides some of those dreaded weeds, which translates to less maintenance over time. So head on over to your local nursery and invest in a few bags. You’ll be glad you did.

5. Landscaping: Just like mulch or a fresh coat of paint, nothing makes a house more inviting than a few blooming plants. ing type? You don’t need the Not the digging plants to be in n the ply ground. Simply ew purchase a few attractive containers, fill them with colourful flowering wering ace plants and place them on the front porch or walkway. The blooms will brighten up your front yard AAP considerably.

3. Grab a notepad: Walk around your property and make a list of things that need repair. Pay particular attention to outside lights as well as accessories, like wind chimes and birdbaths. Have those strong winds from a couple of weeks ago caused some damage you didn’t notice at the time? Write down everything that needs to be repaired along with the items you will need to purchase, or experts you will need to call, to fix them up.

NEWS & VIEWS

GREEN ADD-ONS A BADGE OF HONOUR Energy-efficient homes are the new black and will give you the edge when selling.

ustralian home owners who are facing a triple whammy of rising electricity costs, water and gas bills are accepting energy-wise design, according to Archicentre, the design, inspection and advice service of the Australian Institute of Architects. Archicentre’s Queensland general manager, Ian Agnew, says, “The rising costs of energy and water mean green design has now turned into a moneymaking investment and a lifestyle trend where it has become fashionable to flaunt your rainwater tank or bank of solar panels as a major advantage when homes are sold. “The reality is home buyers being offered the

choice between a well-designed home – with energy-efficient design, rainwater tanks and solar panels – and a poorly designed home obviously will make the choice of the home with an inbuilt money-saving program that will provide increasing returns as energy prices continue to rise.” Archicentre has found energy efficiency to be an increasing priority for people commissioning Archicentre home or design concepts. Agnew says, “People recognise that being able to incorporate passive solar design features into a home will save them thousands of dollars in the future and may also add extra value to the home when it is sold, with the value increasing as energy and water charges continue to rise. “The key to year-round comfort is passive solar design, which carefully combines materials, methods, building form and the sun’s natural energy to help keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter. He adds, “The energy-wise home requires a complex mix of insulation, high thermal mass, intelligent glazing, shading and ventilation, all arranged in a way that enhances comfort, anywhere in Australia.”

AERODROME PLAN Sunshine Coast Council recently released the draft Caloundra Aerodrome masterplan for community review. The council manages the 145-hectare site and has prepared the draft masterplan as a blueprint for the aerodrome’s development over the next 20 years. The plan covers future design and growth, aircraft movements, services and support infrastructure, flight paths and noise, transport and access, cost and environmental management. Councillor Steve Robinson says, “Caloundra Aerodrome is a key part of the Coast’s aviation infrastructure and it will play an important [role in] tourism, creating jobs and supporting economic development. The draft plan proposes to maintain the site only for light aircraft operations, such as helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Businesses currently use the aerodrome for general aviation services, training, maintenance, and search and rescue operations. The plan can be viewed at sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or at council offices or libraries. Information displays will also be held at Stockland Caloundra on November 10 from 11am to 3pm.

DOWN IN THE VALLEY

hile it boasts some of the Sunshine Coastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prettiest scenery, as popular suburbs go Mooloolah Valley is one of our lesser known delights. This hidden hinterland gem includes the slopes to the top of Blackall Range and Bald Knob, the landmark peak at the top of Landsborough-Maleny Road. Mooloolah is on the train line between Brisbane and Nambour and is only seven kilometres north of Landsborough and a five-kilometre drive from Eudlo. However, Jenny Carpenter, who moved from NSW to take over the Mooloolah Property office last April, says many locals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and house hunters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a town that you would normally drive through, they just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it exists,â&#x20AC;? Carpenter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many facilities

that people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise we are here. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the train line, schools, a medical centre, hairdresser, plenty of shops, a swimming pool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everything you would want, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really lovely place to live.â&#x20AC;? Carpenter tells potential buyers to imagine Mooloolah township as the centre of a circle, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and if you draw a 20-minute radius around it, you can get to Landsborough, Caloundra, you can get really into the hinterland at Montville, or to Buderim and Maroochydore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you can even be at the beach in 20 minutes. People are very surprised at how easy it is to get here,â&#x20AC;? she says. The statistical district covers 5913 hectares and has a population density of 0.61 per hectare. But as a relative newcomer to the area, Carpenter says despite the size, Mooloolah doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like a typical small town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you come here it is a small town, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a really nice feel to it. Some small towns can feel a bit

confined, and you can feel like you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when we first came here what struck me is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very friendly, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like a newcomer or an outsider. Everyone is very welcoming.â&#x20AC;? As well as the friendly locals, another drawcard is the range of affordable properties on offer. Carpenter says while there are some standard-sized blocks, most properties are small acreage of half an acre up to several acres, and even reaching up to 20 acres. Carpenter says many buyers move from Caloundra or Sippy Downs in search of more space for the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The drawcard is they can sell a house on a residential block and buy something on acreage for a comparable price,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For a house on one acre with a pool, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re generally looking at the mid $500,000sâ&#x20AC;?, though she adds that prices do range from a rare listing in

Jenny Carpenter the mid $200,000s to million-dollar acreage properties. Other buyers commute to Brisbane via the local train station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semi-rural living but with a close proximity to everything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quieter way of life, somewhere nice for the kids to grow up,â&#x20AC;? Carpenter says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a BMX park out here where they hold competitions, and Ewen Maddock Dam, where you can go kayaking and horse riding. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely plenty to do.â&#x20AC;?

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 When it comes to money matters, make sure you do your homework – which means lots of research. If you try to take shortcuts, you’ll just end up with a ﬁnancial ﬁasco on your hands!

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 With retrograde Mercury in your partnership zone, aim to get the balance right between being patient and being proactive. And resist making “humorous” remarks that hurt others.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 Cranky crabs – you may feel emotionally vulnerable but don’t make things worse by being moody. If you are defensive, it will just attract the opposition of others.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 You’ve got a good brain, but are you using it? Don your thinking cap and give yourself a mental workout. Don’t jump to conclusions though – check the facts ﬁrst.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 Expect the unexpected. If you are too set in your ways, others are liable to come along and upset your perfectly planned weekend. Aim to be less fastidious – and a lot more ﬂexible.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Stay cool, calm and collected. The universe is demanding high standards – and loved ones are unpredictable – so aim to meet delays and difﬁculties with patience and panache.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Scorpios and socialising are a bad mix this weekend. You’re in the mood for meditation and contemplation. Reﬂecting on things is ﬁne, but don’t use it as an excuse to sulk.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Keep your ﬂuctuating energy in check. Others may question your passionate plans and adventurous approach. The more organised you are, the better the weekend will be.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 The pressure is on regarding professional projects. You’re determined to push your ideas through, but perhaps you should let your creative Capricorn side do some of the hard work?

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 There’s a ﬁne line between restlessness and recklessness this weekend. Think things through carefully before you act – and speak. Hasty words now could lead to trouble later.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 Money matters are unpredictable, as Uranus continues to shake up your cash zone. Avoiding the situation is not the answer. You must face up to your ﬁnancial responsibilities.

SURF REPORT

with Steve Harris from Suburban Surf

Well surfers we should see waves up to the three-foot mark through to Sunday this week. On Thursday there will be an easterly trade swell around two to three foot by the arvo with light northerlies early followed by a fresh NE breeze later. On Friday there will be very similar conditions to Thursday with around three foot of easterly trade swell, however, winds will be northerly onshore. On Saturday wave heights will be the same as Thursday and Friday with lighter NW winds early swinging NE later. Sunday is looking like the best day with the swell hanging in around the two to three-foot mark and the winds staying NW most of the day. With high tide on the weekend around sunrise look for a bank on the open beaches early or one in the northern corners of Sunrise, The Pocket or Yaroomba. Good surf ng.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Quality whiting are taking yabbies opposite the Bli Bli oyster banks on a rising tide. Get trevally and f athead on plastic lures at the mouth of creeks. Mangrove jack love the dropping barometerlures and live baits are producing the bigger sizes. SURF: Bream are at Mudjimba on the night tides using mullet f llet, while you will f nd f athead in the low tide gutters during the day. Get whiting along most beaches with pippies the best baits. Beach worms are in short supply as their banks have been eroded. OFFSHORE: Spanish mackeral are taking trolled lures at the Gneerings with early morning best. Most reef areas are returning cobia, squire, sweetlip and good-sized parrot. Whales have disappeared locally, heading off on their southerly migration. FRESHWATER: It is one of the best starts to the bass season with lures trolled along the weed line in the upper reaches of most rivers and local dams. Fly f shers are enjoying catching bass and saratoga at Borumba.
