y first encounters with charity came in the form of the MS Readathon and Jump Rope for Heart at my primary school.

I was not bad with the old skipping rope, so joining my classmates on the school oval was fun, and though heart health wasn’t particularly front of mind when I was eight years old, I’m sure I managed to raise a few dollars for the Heart Foundation.

In Australia we teach our children early about the importance of giving money, and when you don’t earn any yourself, you have to raise it by doing something, whether it’s skipping or reading, going hungry for a couple of days or running around a track. But Jarna Baudinette has discovered that we take this ethos into adulthood, and f nds a few locals who are raising money, not by passing around the hat at the pub, but by putting their bodies

and their brains to the test. For our cover story this week she is writing about the growing trend of the charity challenge, and she has chatted to a few locals who are raising money for, and awareness of, their favourite cause, by testing themselves. Turn over for more.

On the subject of people who have something to give, this week our special feature is dedicated to the Healthy Lifestyle Expo. If you’re thinking of going, turn to page 30 for a quick rundown of what’s in store. It’s more than just crystals and candles.

In fact, you’ll f nd all sorts of practitioners and health professionals at the event, including Barbara Cook and David Miles who will be panellists on a discussion about autism spectrum disorder. They have also been chatting to Sam Walker for this week’s agenda item on page 28. It’s a fascinating topic and one that is sure to engage plenty of locals.

hen it comes to charitable giving, Australians are a generous bunch. Late last year the World Giving Index rated Australians as the world’s most charitable people, with 76 per cent of adults making some kind of financial donation in any given month.

However, there’s also a growing trend for Australians to donate their time, effort and willpower along with their spare cash. More and more people are choosing to fundraise by pushing their minds and bodies through some kind physical challenge, whether it’s on an epic journey like actor Samuel Johnson, who is currently riding a unicycle around Australia to raise money for breast cancer research, or simply completing a fun run with a group of friends. Across the country people are setting themselves big goals to help those less fortunate, and the Sunshine Coast has plenty of these goal-setters.

Local businessman Tim Gall has twice participated in the Ride to Conquer Cancer, a gruelling two-day cycling event held in f ve states each year. Like many Australians, Gall has been personally touched by cancer and was inspired to complete the ride with a group of friends.

“I wanted to do the ride because I lost both my parents to cancer, and I wanted to raise funds for research and support,” he says. “There was a group of f ve or six of us – a few are triathletes and we decided to do [the ride] two years ago.” The group raised close to $10,000.

“It’s a 220-kilometre ride – 110 kilometres per day – so it’s a challenging ride, but the stories you hear and people you meet along the way make it worth it,” Gall

says. “You’re riding alongside cancer survivors and all these people who have been affected by cancer in one way, shape or form.”

Last year Gall completed his second ride alongside his wife, Michelle. Unlike her husband (who also competes in long-distance Ironman events), Michelle didn’t have a cycling background, and took up the sport by chance.

“Last year [we] were at a function for another foundation and she won a Giant bike in the raff e, so that was sort of the start,” Tim Gall says. “She wanted to support me and also to do something for her own benef t – to achieve certain things and get f t – so she started cycling.”

The couple raised $6500 from friends and supporters and Michelle began training in earnest, but was soon struggling with injury. “During her training Michelle had knee problems – she was being treated by a physio and it got to the point where she wasn’t even going to ride, it was so painful,” her husband says. “But she thought, there are a lot of people out there suffering more than us; I’ve got to do it.”

The Galls had been emailing their supporters, so Michelle wrote to them asking for the names of friends and loved ones who had suffered from cancer. “She wrote the names down and decided she would carry the list in her back pocket, to honour and remember them on the ride,” Gall says. “And when she was suffering with her knee she kept pulling the list out, and that’s what kept getting her through and pushing her up the hills. It’s designed to get you out of your comfort zone, because people who suffer cancer go through that all the time.”

[ For some, pushing themselves through a gruelling endurance event is a little too ambitious. Instead, many opt to raise money through a team event where a group shares the load.

Barb White, 57, is a teacher at Nambour Special School, a benef ciary of the Coast’s annual Island Charity Swim. In early 2010, she started swimming for f tness and decided she’d attempt the ocean swim as part of the staff team.

“I’d heard about it when I was working in other spots and thought I’d like to do it one day, but had never had the chance to train for it,” White says.

“There were a few people who had been swimming in the school team every year up until then, who were quite experienced swimmers, so I joined them.”

The 11-kilometre swim heads two kilometres out to sea from Mudjimba, around Old Woman Island and south into Mooloolaba Spit (on the wrong side of the shark nets). While she’d already made the decision to take part, White says the opportunity to swim in a team alongside more experienced athletes helped her conf dence on the f rst attempt.

Last year’s Island Charity Swim was her third and this time she was the most experienced swimmer on the team.

“I was the only one who’d done it before, and the only one who’d done much ocean swimming,” she says. “The other people were feeling a bit daunted and challenged, so we had practices at the Spit to build people’s conf dence. That made a big difference on the day.”

While some competitors swim the whole event, teams travel together by boat and complete the race like a relay, then at the Spit the whole team swims to the f nish line together. White says the wonderful atmosphere and sense of achievement is made more poignant by the presence of many of the school’s students, whose parents bring them along to offer support on the day.

“It’s about just doing it, giving it a try,” she says.

“We train and swim in winter, so it’s quite cold, but I’ve heard someone say on the day to remember that the challenge that meets us is nothing compared to

the challenges that meet the kids we’re swimming for, and their families.”

While participants get to achieve goals and make a positive contribution, there are also huge benef ts for the charities involved. Cerebral Palsy League encourages people to raise money by taking part in events such as the Gold Coast Marathon and the Buderim9, a Coast-based cycling challenge set for December. Fundraising manager Ben Cox says these initiatives help provide vital services and equipment to more than 6000 Queenslanders with disabilities.

“Our experience is that people are motivated to participate in challenge-based fundraising events for a range of reasons,” Cox says. “Many are connected to the cause and have a loved one with cerebral palsy.

Others simply get involved to have some fun, keep f t and help a good cause along the way.”

Those motivated by the idea of overcoming a physical challenge can gain a deeper understanding of the hurdles faced by people affected by disability or illness.

“Our therapists know the importance of physical activity for people with cerebral palsy, but we also encourage people to think about just how much more effort it takes for a person with a physical disability to achieve many of the things we do every day without a second thought,” Cox says.

Challenge-based events can also raise more money than traditional forms of fundraising.

“These events provide opportunities for supporters to move away from more traditional forms of donations and instead use social media, email and fundraising sites like Everyday Hero to encourage friends, family and co-workers to get behind a cause they are passionate about,” Cox says.

“As a result, we see higher levels of community engagement as well as increased involvement from all generations of Australians – from f tness fanatics to humble heroes pushing their physical limits to help change the lives of Queenslanders with a physical disability.”

The challenge that meets us is nothing compared to the challenges that meet the kids we’re swimming for, and their families

Everest climb for cancer Many people have an ultimate fitness goal – to run a marathon, climb a mountain or walk the Kokoda track. If you’re already putting in hard work to achieve yours, consider adding some fundraising to your training regime.

Exercise physiologist Luke Rabone, 27, recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of his climb to Mount Everest Base Camp. He had been planning the trip for several months and was inspired three weeks out to use the experience to raise money for the Cancer Council.

“My grandad was terminally ill with cancer at the time, and one of the veterans I work with out at Bribie Island asked what I was doing the trip for – was I raising money – and I thought, why not put a fundraiser on it?” he says.

He set up an Everyday Hero account and managed to raise $3000 in just three weeks. The climb itself was a life-changing experience, and Rabone says given the success, he wishes he’d started fundraising sooner.

“I was pretty proud to have made something out of it,” he says. “It just gave the experience another element, and to think of all the people who chipped in – so many of the people I work with, clients, family and friends, they all donated. And who hasn’t been affected by cancer, so it was a good thing to raise money for.”

COAST DANCERS OFF TO USA

S

tudents in Coast hip hop dance group Expialidopest have danced their way into the World Hip Hop Dance Championships to be held in America in August.

The group of eight students, aged from seven to 12, won the junior category of the Hip Hop Internationals in Brisbane last month.

Dance teacher and SOLE Studios owner Taneikah Westcombe says it is a huge deal for the dancers.

“How many kids of their age get to say they’ve been on the world stage for something?” she says.

“It’s going to be a life-changing experience.”

But in order for them to get to

the championships in Las Vegas they need to raise about $25,000 to cover their airfares, accommodation and registration fees.

They are seeking community and corporate support to help them get there.

To make a donation, head to pozible.com/expialidopest. If you pledge money you will receive a reward, with rewards varying according to the amount donated.

Midwifery partnership benefits all involved

Enhancing Income You’ll find there’s a lot of things that Ord Minnett Buderim does that your ordinary financial adviser doesn’t. The covered call can be a fantastic strategy to generate additional income from your existing share portfolio. But you will need a stockbroker - not just an ordinary financial adviser - to do this for you. To find out more visit www.ordsbuderim.com.au

The University of the Sunshine Coast has opened a Collaborative Midwifery Clinic in partnership with the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service.

Bronwyn Doyle, midwife and project manager of the refurbishment project, says the clinic is already attracting high interest from the community in its f rst month of operation.

The clinic provides antenatal care, including midwifery checks and health information, for mothersto-be booked into the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service.

Doyle says USC academics, who are also midwives, practice at the clinic while students of USC’s midwifery degrees gain muchneeded clinical experience.

Collaborative Midwifery Clinic facilitator Alison Broderick and student Melanie Williams (right) assess Meegan Walker “It’s giving our students opportunities on campus to learn from academic professionals in a real-life setting,” she says.

“It also helps the university engage further with the community and f ll a gap in heal care provision.”

To book into the clinic, call 5470 6701.

HIGH FLYERS SEEK TO INSPIRE

F

ear is something Heather Swan and Glenn Singleman know first-hand.

Together, the husband and wife team have conquered fear to pursue a remarkable life of adventure that has resulted in three world records in extreme sports, including the world’s highest BASE jump.

For Swan, preparing for the mental and physical f tness required for such extreme activities was a challenge she describes as a rollercoaster ride.

She was 38 when she decided to start training for extreme sport and was met with a barrage of criticism from naysayers because of her age and her gender.

Singleman, an intensive care doctor and remote medicine specialist, has a particular interest in understanding fear and managing risk.

The couple is also in demand on the world speaking circuit as motivational speakers.

“We use extreme sport, I guess, as a metaphor for overcoming fear and going beyond your personal boundaries,” Singleman says.

We live in a fear-based society he says results from an era where fear played a part in survival.

If you are looking for a bit of motivation in your business or life, a dose of Glenn and Heather might be just what you need.

They will be speaking at the next Hot Business Event at the Maroochy Events Centre on May 31 from 6.30am. To book tickets visit hotbusinessevents.com.au.

Coast whale watching industry gets a boost The owner of a Coast whale watching charter business has welcomed the State Government’s new legislation allowing charter boats to operate in state waters.

John Matterson says the changes mean he will be able to give his customers a better whale watching experience, with better viewing, smoother conditions and more trips.

“It’s the best news I’ve heard for months,” he says.

“The diff culty for us is that we’ve gone outside the bay there and quite often seen whales within two or three hundred metres of shore.”

Environment Minister Andrew Powell says the legislation, introduced last week, lifts the ban on commercial whale watching in state waters off the Sunshine and Gold coasts.

“This is a common sense move which ends the absurdity of commercial operators having to travel out to Commonwealth waters before they can stop and look at whales,” Powell says.

“Instead of having to ignore whales they encounter on the way, these

operators will now be able to pause and let their customers enjoy the experience as they head out to their main whale watching destinations in Commonwealth waters.”

Matterson says he will still be able to offer trips on days when he would otherwise have had to cancel due to rough weather in the open waters.

Boat skippers will continue to operate under standard approach limits, with boats allowed within 100 metres of whales and 300 metres if there are four or more vessels.

Whale watching season will begin on the Sunshine Coast on June 1 and Matterson says he can’t wait.

Year 12 students spend Saturdays lending a hand About 50 Sunshine Coast Grammar School students took part in a backyard blitz-style makeover at a Buddina home last weekend.

The students, all in grade 12, were taking part in the school’s Grammar Helping Hands program.

Grammar community awareness co-ordinator Ben Princehorn says the program aims to help out those in need through illness and loss.

While this week is National Volunteer Week, Princehorn says the school has been running the Helping Hands program once a term since it began in 2009.

This term they gave a garden makeover and a lick of paint to the home of Jill Macquarie, who is being treated for cancer.

“Normally we work really closely with Bloomhill Cancer Centre, but in this circumstance Jill was nominated by the general community,” he says.

School captain Elena Pleass says it is great to have the opportunity to help people out.

Georgina McDermott and Elena Pleass were among the students taking part in the blitz at Buddina “We all take so much from it and it makes our Saturday afternoons worthwhile,” she says.

“This is a nice reminder to keep in mind what’s important and make sure we’re all giving back to the community.”

Princehorn says most of the materials for the blitz were supplied by local businesses, including a lunch for Macquarie at The Hungry Feel Eating House at Buderim.

After taking antidepressants for 20 years, she was shocked to find there was a cause for her depression that was never found. Within weeks she was excited, happy, motivated and amazed to get her life back.

When she f rst began antidepressants, she felt a lack of interest in life, low mood, irritability, anger, anxiety and insomnia. Exhaustion then caused more anger and irritability. With a young family, the strain was too much, so she went to her GP and began antidepressants, which worked well, but needed to be maintained for a normal life.

When I f rst saw her, she had responded to an ad about depression and was curious about coming off her antidepressants. After asking a few questions, and scanning her brain and body for inf ammation, infection, hormone and brain chemical levels, it was clear what the causes were.

Nothing traumatic had happened during the time the depression began, she was relaxed and happy as she had returned from an overseas holiday. This always rings alarm bells, as there are bacteria in water overseas that can cause depression, so we organised a bowel test. We also found that when she was moody, it f uctuated, with bouts of sleepiness, and fogginess throughout the day. This usually indicates a relationship with food, as the

symptoms start between meals, f rst irritability and fogginess, then sleepiness, then back to normal.

When food does not agree with you, it can cause depression, anxiety, irritability, insomnia and low thyroid function. The liver detoxif es the offending food, by using enzymes which are also involved in making serotonin in the brain. This results in the brain under-functioning leading to low moods. One of these enzymes is responsible for producing melatonin for sleep, so insomnia follows. The thyroid drops in function during a food reaction. In women this will cause the progesterone to drop, which creates an oestrogen dominance problem leading to PMS, menopausal symptoms, and more hormonal imbalances including severe mood swings.

We found with testing she had a few offending foods she was eating regularly, and when we received the results from her gut test found she also had a bacterial overgrowth affecting the brain. After treating these, starting a good diet, and raising serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine naturally, she was feeling amazing within weeks.

Depression and other mood disorders affect one in four Australians. It is not a disease that has 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.

NOOSA FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL TURNS 10

I

t started in 2003 with 100 people.

This year organisers are expecting in excess of 26,000 visitors to the Noosa International Food and Wine Festival.

“That’s monumental growth in 10 years,” says festival founder and director Jim Berardo.

And “never in a million years” did Berardo expect it would become the international attraction it is today.

“We just hit a chord,” he says.

A few years ago organisers made an active push to market the festival internationally and the strategy has paid dividends.

About f ve per cent of sales have come from overseas with tickets sold in New Zealand, Singapore, America, England, Canada, Japan and Thailand.

It is an amazing achievement for a regional festival that started as a way to say thank you to local growers and producers and to help promote local businesses.

The biggest ticket sales have gone to Victoria, followed by Queensland and Western Australia.

“The economic impact is measured by an outside agency and last year it was about $7 million,” he says.

“This year we hope it will be more.”

Martin Duncan from Freestyle Escape at Dulong says in recent years the festival has expanded from Noosa to include hinterland locations through to Montville

Peter Gilmore, Quay Restaurant

and Maleny.

“I think it’s fantastic for the region as it showcases the producers and the restaurants here on the Coast,” Duncan says.

He has Mauro Colagreco been to every festival since its inception and enjoys the camaraderie of the chefs and the foodies.

“It’s a great thing to be involved in,” he says.

Berardo attributes the festival’s success to is its uniqueness, with chefs following food trails and selecting locally grown produce to cook with.

“We don’t do anything that would be done in the capital cities,” he says.

The event is packed with a star-studded line-up of some of the world’s top chefs. An added element this year is the diverse range of entertainment, including internationally acclaimed musicians.

childhoods and leverages off the ‘I spy with my little eye’ game.

Tourism minister Jann Stuckey says Coast operators recorded a 31.5 per cent increase in bookings from the previous year when the campaign ran in 2012.

“The aim of this joint Tourism and Events Queensland and Wotif.com campaign is to build on the momentum of last year’s campaign and drive holiday bookings throughout Queensland’s winter months,” Stuckey says.

AUSSIE DOCTOR IN MAJOR BRAIN BREAKTHROUGH

A

trio of Australian and American scientists have made a discovery that could radically change the understanding of how the brain repairs itself.

They have shown that other parts of the brain take over to compensate for lost function if there is damage to the hippocampus, a part of the brain responsible for learning and memory.

These parts are often far from the damaged site.

The research could lead to important advances in the treatment of accident and stroke victims, as well as those living with Alzheimer’s disease.

“Until now, we’ve been trying to f gure out how to stimulate repair within the hippocampus. Now we can see other structures stepping in, and whole new brain circuits coming into being,” says Dr

My Schools site hurting kids: Greens

Bryce Vissel from Sydney’s Garvan Institute of Medical Research.

“It’s truly exciting.”

Vissel played a key role in helping to identify the brain pathways and structures involved after two US scientists made a surprising discovery that rats are able to learn new tasks after damage to the hippocampus.

Vissel’s team worked with Dr Moriel Zelikowsky and Dr Michael Fanselow to identify the exact regions of the brain that take over.

Their breakthrough is published in the early online edition of the Proceedings of the Academy of Science (PNAS), the journal of the US National Academy of Sciences.

Fanselow says all complex behaviours involve multiple parts of the brain, with one region’s message affecting how another region will respond.

“The brain is heavily interconnected.”

He says once scientists understand why one pathway is chosen over another, they will be able to encourage pathways to take over when they need to, especially in the case of brain damage.

“I expect the brain probably has to be trained through experience.

“Behaviour creates molecular changes in the brain. We can try to facilitate those changes through behaviour and drug therapy.

“Future treatments are not going to be all behavioural or all pharmacological, but a combination of both,” he says.

“It’s probable that the brains of Alzheimer’s sufferers are already compensating for damage and this discovery has signif cant potential for extending that compensation,” Vissel says.

The NSW Greens say national literacy and numeracy tests shouldn’t be used to rank schools online because it damages education outcomes and stresses children.

The National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) began across Australia on Tuesday for students in years three, f ve, seven and nine.

Primary school children will sit four tests covering numeracy, reading, writing and language conventions while high school students will sit f ve tests, including two tests in numeracy.

Data from NAPLAN is used to rank schools on the government’s My Schools website.

Greens MP John Kaye says the benef ts of the tests are being undermined by the My Schools website.

“The My School website puts unreasonable pressure on teachers to prepare their students and compromise the diagnostic value of the test,” Kaye says. “Along the way, educational outcomes are being compromised and children are unnecessarily suffering stress.”

He says the “high stakes” of the tests have “driven schools and parents into a frenzy of preparation that robs the rest of education of time and effort”.

He has urged the O’Farrell government to renegotiate the deal that allowed the Federal Government to publish the results online.

MAYAN PYRAMIDS BULLDOZED IN BELIZE

A

construction company has essentially destroyed one of Belize’s largest Mayan pyramids with backhoes and bulldozers to extract crushed rock for a road-building project.

The head of the Belize Institute of Archaeology, Jaime Awe, says the destruction at the Nohmul complex in northern Belize was detected late last week. The ceremonial centre dates back at least 2300 years and is the most important site in northern Belize, near the border with Mexico.

“It’s a feeling of incredible disbelief because of the ignorance and the insensitivity … they were using this for road f ll,” Awe says. “It’s like being punched in the stomach, it’s just so horrendous.”

Nohmul sat in the middle of a privately owned sugar cane f eld, and lacked the even stone sides frequently seen in reconstructed or betterpreserved pyramids.

But Awe says the builders could not possibly have mistaken the pyramid mound, which is about 30 metres tall, for a natural hill because the ruins were well-known and the landscape there is naturally f at.

“These guys knew that this was an ancient structure. It’s just bloody laziness,” Awe says.

Photos from the scene show backhoes clawing

AP

A backhoe claws away at the sloping sides of the Nohmul complex, one of Belize’s largest Mayan pyramids on May 10 in northern Belize away at the pyramid’s sloping sides, leaving an isolated core of limestone cobbles at the centre, with what appears to be a narrow Mayan chamber dangling above one clawed-out section.

More couples choosing to sleep solo

The double bed may soon be a thing of the past, with more and more couples choosing to sleep apart, research suggests.

A survey of 2000 people showed lovers are increasingly inclined to bed down solo for a variety of reasons, with 40 per cent of Edinburgh folk opting for their own bed.

The main reason for sleeping apart was stress.

The research found 49 per cent of respondents cited worries over money, work and family likely to keep them tossing and turning at night.

A partner’s snoring (30 per cent) also had people creeping off to a bed of their own.

“Just to realise that the ancient Maya acquired all this building material to erect these buildings, using nothing more than stone tools and quarried the stone, and carried this material on their heads, using tump lines,” says Awe. “To think that today we have modern equipment, that you can go and excavate in a quarry anywhere, but that this company would completely disregard that and completely destroy this building. Why can’t these people just go and quarry somewhere that has no cultural signif cance? It’s mind-boggling.”

Belizean police say they are conducting an investigation and criminal charges are possible. The Nohmul complex sits on private land, but Belizean law says that any pre-Hispanic ruins are under government protection.

The Belize community action group Citizens Organised for Liberty Through Action called the destruction of the archaeological site “an obscene example of disrespect for the environment and history”.

It is not the f rst time it’s happened in Belize, a country of about 350,000 people that is largely covered in jungle and dotted with hundreds of Mayan ruin sites, though few as large as Nohmul.

THE WEEK THAT WAS

RETIREMENT PLANNING A BALANCING ACT The reality is that few are invested entirely in one asset class. A typical investor may have assets spread as follows: cash f ve per cent, term deposits 10 per cent, other f xed interest (such as bonds) 20 per cent, shares 50 per cent, and property trusts 15 per cent. Assuming realistic rates of return across these asset classes, the average income for the portfolio might come in at around six per cent per annum. This is income only and does not factor in growth.

For our hypothetical retiree requiring $60,000 per annum, they will then require $1 million in investment assets. However, the age pension assets test limit for a homeowner couple is $1,086,000 and there might be a minimal entitlement at this level.

This is where the strategy becomes interesting. It would be relatively easy to spend no more than the income the portfolio produces. However, what if you wanted to spend more, say $100,000 per year? This is where your adviser should be doing some

O

ne of the main outcomes of a financial strategy is to ensure your assets produce sufficient income in retirement. We are often asked: how much is enough?

It comes down to what you invest in and how much you want to spend.

With interest rates on the decline, anyone who wants to spend, say $60,000 but is only willing to invest in term deposits will require a minimum of $1.4 million based on today’s rates. If you are invested entirely in shares in a tax-free environment, such as in pension phase at 60 years and over, then you may only require $800,000.

long-term forecasting. As you spend more income than the portfolio produces, you start eating into capital.

As capital reduces, capacity to claim the age pension increases.

It’s a f ne balancing act and one must ensure that capital is not eroded too soon. Over the years, income from growth assets should increase, allowing an increase in spending.

Asset prices should also increase, partly mitigating the draw on capital of excessive spending.

The problem for many investors at the moment is that they have been scared into cash and term deposits and have not had the foresight to reinvest in growth assets. Their income is reducing as interest rates fall, and their capital has zero chance of increasing. This is a path to f nancial distress, and once capital is eroded it is gone forever.

HOSPITAL NEARS COMPLETION The Coast’s newest private hospital is rapidly taking shape as it starts to dominate the skyline at Oceanside Kawana.

Almost 80 per cent complete, Ramsay Health Care’s private hospital, which will provide 200 additional hospital beds, is on track for a December opening.

About 185 construction workers are on the private hospital construction site each day and nearly 60 per cent of them live north of the Pine River.

Stockland regional manager David Laner says it is exciting to see the progress made in recent months and the start of major works on the neighbouring public hospital.

“Anyone travelling around this part of Kawana simply can’t miss all the activity taking place around the site,” Laner says.

“Together with our construction

Artist’s impression work on a major new road and bridge project, this is just a small taste of what is coming for Oceanside Kawana.”

Stockland’s Oceanside Kawana community will be a new $5 billion health, retail, commercial, education and residential hub for the Coast.

Ramsay Health Care has already named Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology as the hospital’s pathology provider and appointed Sunshine Coast Radiology as the radiology provider.

And the recruitment process is well underway, with more than 3000 expressions of interest received

by Ramsay Health Care to date.

SHINING A LIGHT

ON AUTISM

PREVIEW There’s a lot of talk about autism spectrum disorder, but few of us understand what it’s really like for those who live with it every day.

B

WORDS Sam Walker

arbara Cook was 40 when she was diagnosed with Asperger disorder.

Her partner, Paul Kay, was 41. For both of them the diagnosis was a relief. It answered a lifetime of questions about why they didn’t quite f t into society.

“It was certainly a relief, absolutely,” Cook says.

“Previously it was diagnosed as a mood disorder.”

Cook, who says it is often harder to diagnose in women, because of their ability to mask symptoms and more readily f t in, has since found autism spectrum disorder occurs frequently throughout her mother’s side of the family. And this is not unusual.

Autism Queensland manager research and development Dr Jill Ashburner, says autism is a neuro developmental disorder. She says there is a strong genetic component to the disorder and it is not uncommon for it to occur multiple times within the same family. And while studies on the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders vary, currently the estimated prevalence rate in children is about one in 100, and it is more often diagnosed in males. The symptoms of autism can vary widely from one person to the next, but many people with autism f nd it hard to interact socially and to communicate.

Autism and Aspergers are terms increasingly being heard

and talked about throughout the community, with a rise in the number of diagnoses in recent years. “The prevalence has increased markedly in the last 10 years,” Ashburner says.

However, it is not necessarily occurring more frequently.

She attributes the increase to improved awareness and a change in the diagnostic patterns.

“Autism spectrum disorder is now more likely to be diagnosed in children with average to above-average intelligence.

“Also children who would previously have been classif ed as having an intellectual impairment are now also more likely to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder,” she says.

Coast occupational therapist Trish O’Brien works closely with children on the autism spectrum.

“Parents come to me for a number of reasons, but generally speaking when you’ve got a child on the spectrum one of the biggest issues is sensory overload,” O’Brien says.

They can be overly sensitive to noise, light, sound and taste. It can make everyday experiences like school, shopping, parties and social gatherings overwhelming and stressful.

“We’re putting our children into systems where there are a lot of challenges for a child with ASD.” O’Brien works with parents and schools to help manage some of these stressful situations. One thing she

encourages parents to try and do is create a room or a space the child can retreat to when they experience sensory overload to help them feel safe and calm down. Sometimes children will create such a space for themselves.

Children on the autism spectrum often have issues around eating and sleeping as well as behavioural issues. “The other part is that often the children I see have problems with motor skills,” O’Brien says.

They have diff culty learning how to dress themselves and struggle with things like craft and sport activities. And sometimes they don’t have awareness of where their body is in space, which makes it hard for them to sit still.

“The movement is giving their body feedback as to where they are in space,” O’Brien says.

The Federal Government’s Helping Children With Autism package provides f nancial support of up to $12,000 for children between the age of zero and six years who have been diagnosed in Australia with ASD. O’Brien says the package, which is funded through the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, has been great in helping parents to get help for their children. “It is overwhelming for parents. It is quite a shock to them,” she says.

The package requires them to see an autism advisor, who can then notify them of the services available in their local area.

O’Brien says some indicators of the possibility of autism spectrum disorder include behavioural issues such as major meltdowns and tantrums in young children, problems with social skills and language skills and an inability to read emotions.

For Cook, being diagnosed as an adult has explained many things, and it has also helped her to better manage her own behaviour and understand that of others. She seeks help to understand emotions. “I can be quite blunt, I don’t

realise I’m tramping all over people,” she says.

Cook, in conjunction with Kay, started the Sunshine Coast Autism Aspergers Network as a resource for the local community. She is also the editor of the Australian Autism Aspergers Network Magazine.

David Miles was also diagnosed as an adult and also found it a relief. For years he struggled to hold down a job and found the interview process and the social expectations within the workplace overwhelming. “I look at how I interact with people, I look at my reactions to things that I have issues with like social situations or even just going shopping,” Miles says.

While these are all still challenging for him, he is working on coping mechanisms that he hopes will eventually help him to interact more conf dently within the community, and to help him get a job. He was also involved in starting an Aspergers support group at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Miles and Cook will both be panellists at the

You Can Heal Yourself Expo Autism Symposium at the Caloundra Events Centre on May 25 from 3pm to 4.30pm. The symposium aims to raise awareness about autism spectrum disorder and answer questions for those in the community. For more information visit healyourselfexpo.com.

SUGAR-FREE, GRAIN-FREE CHEESECAKE This is the ultimate healthy cheesecake recipe. Not only is it sugar-free, it’s also grain-free and gluten-free. The recipe is from Sarah Wilson’s blog, sarahwilson.com.au, author of the I Quit Sugar books.

METHOD

SHOPPING LIST Base: • 110g shelled pistachios • 100g dessicated coconut • 150g almond meal • 4 generous tbs butter

Preheat the oven to about 160 degrees. Stab-mix or blend pistachios until they are semi-f ne chunks, add to a mixing bowl with the coconut, almond meal and room temperature butter and rub until the mixture is an even, thick consistency.

Then press into a baking paper lined spring form pan. Cover the base and sides with your mixture to an even thickness – you may need more or less of the mixture depending on the size of your pan. Try to keep it an even thickness – about ½-1cm.

Place in oven for 8 minutes or until slightly f rm. Don’t wait for the

Filling: • 2-3 boxes (250g each) Philadelphia cream cheese • 1 egg • a dash of natural vanilla essence or vanilla powder • 2 tbs natural yoghurt • ¼ cup coconut cream • ½ cup rice syrup (add more or less to your individual taste)

base to brown as it will continue to cook once the f lling is in.

In a large bowl add the cream cheese (room temp), egg, vanilla, yoghurt, coconut cream and rice syrup. Mix until it’s an even, thick consistency. Don’t over-mix and try to keep aeration to a minimum while stirring – it will make the cake puff up, then collapse. Add your mixture to the base and return to the slow oven for 20-30 minutes or until the mixture is puffy on the edges and the centre slightly soft and custard-like – don’t overcook. Put in the fridge until f rm.

Nigeria the world’s biggest market for champagne after France Recent data puts Nigeria among the fastest-growing countries in the world for champagne consumption, spending an estimated $59 million in 2012 on bubbly, according to Euromonitor International research firm.

That number is up from $49 million in 2011, and the f rm forecasts that the country will spend some $105 million on f zz in 2017.

Analysts say oil wealth, hip hop, movie stars and an elite obsessed with status symbols have driven the demand.

As Africa’s largest oil producer, Nigeria had the world’s secondhighest growth in new champagne consumption from 2011-2016, trailing only France.

Nigeria is Africa’s most populous nation with a huge gap

between its rich and poor.

Euromonitor senior analyst Spiros Malandrakis says it’s among the top markets for the future of champagne.

Oil barons and Nigeria’s movie industry, known as Nollywood, have especially helped drive growth, he said, while hip-hop has also played a role.

Nigeria has long been considered

INSPIRED

one of the world’s most corrupt nations, with billions in oil revenue pocketed and misused over the years, while basic development has been neglected.

Such spending on champagne is particularly striking when considered against World Bank calculations from 2009-2010 showing some 63 per cent of Nigerians live on less than $1 per day.

common to all is that almost everyone is busy.

“It’s time, it’s money, it’s the washing up, it’s being healthy – so I’ve written a book around those challenges and offering recipes that solves those problems.

“We’re all busy, and we’ve put so much on our plates, literally, that it’s time to get back to that important part of a family’s life, and that’s a home-cooked meal,” Stone says.

At the end of his book he thanks his mum, who he calls Lozza, for teaching him the importance of sitting down to a family meal, plus making him such a good cook.

Stone always includes one of his mother’s recipes in each of his books, and this time it’s her Sticky Toffee Ice Cream dessert.

Curtis Stone thought he had a busy life – and then his son was born.

Now he totally understands the dilemma of today’s families about juggling work, kids and cooking good healthy meals each night.

“You think you have a busy life before you have kids – because you do – and then you have a child and you’re like ‘my god, now I know what a busy life’s all about’.”

And, for now at least, Stone has only one child. His boy Hudson is 18 months old and hasn’t even begun to utter the phrase so often heard by parents – ‘What’s for dinner?’ – the title of his latest book.

“When you get asked that question ‘What’s for dinner’? you’re not trying to create some gourmet experience, you’re trying to feed your family healthy, delicious food – it’s that simple.”

He’s a trained chef who has worked for the acclaimed Marco Pierre White, and run busy restaurants in London, but it’s the family side of cooking that Stone is happy to focus on.

“In this book I’m not trying to show off how great I am, I’m trying to produce recipes that home cooks will use.”

MAKE/MODEL AUDI A6 ALLROAD DETAILS Five-door, five-seat luxury SUV with six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine and seven-speed automatic transmission; permanent all-wheel-drive.

TECH STUFF 3-litre V6 turbo-diesel with common rail injection produces 180kW@40004500rpm, 580Nm@17502500rpm; seven-speed S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission with wheelmounted shift paddles; quattro permanent all-wheel-drive with self-locking centre differential.

AN URBAN BEAST THAT LOVES AN ADVENTURE WORDS Peter Atkinson, AAP IMAGES AAP

C

ar makers have come up with all types of clever names for the growing number of SUVs which, in another life, would have been thought of as no more than station wagons.

More car-like than most soft-roaders, these machines are the first stepping-off point between the family wagon and a full-blown off-roader.

One of the first of these – and still one of the very best – is Audi’s A6 Allroad. Not a volume seller by any stretch, but nevertheless a class leader in this smallish but competitive section of the market.

The A6 Allroad has been around in

Australia since about 2001 – with the third generation launched recently – and has built a loyal band of followers.

It has also spawned a baby sibling, the A4 Allroad, which has been a roaring success with its sub-$70,000 price tag.

And those lucky enough to be buying this latest version of the A6 Allroad will certainly not be disappointed. I say lucky for two reasons: first because they can afford $120,000-plus for a family wagon; second because only 150 of these will be offered for sale in Australia.

As well as putting Audi’s well-known Quattro all-wheel-drive system to good

use, the Allroad showcases the qualities we’ve increasingly come to expect from this ambitious German marque. Those include a highly impressive diesel powerplant (in this case a three-litre turbocharged V6 with 180 kilowatts and 560 Newton metres), and an equally efficient dual-clutch automatic; plus ever-improving road manners and cabin presentation.

The previous Allroad was a good car but this one advances the breed significantly, particularly in terms of refinement and interior finish.

The Allroad feels every bit as posh continued page 38>

FEATURES Leather trim; four-zone climate control; electric seats, mirrors and windows; electric rear tailgate; satellite navigation with radar-guided cruise control; frontal collision and lane departure warning systems; adaptive air suspension with multiple terrain and surface settings; stop-start fuel-saving engine system.

THIRST 6.4L/100km official average.

<from page 36 and polished as the A6 Avant (wagon) upon which it is based.

Cabin quietness is excellent, ride is plush yet reassuring, and happily, Audi seems to have f nally removed the steering vagueness which has too often been a trait of this and other models bearing the four-ring badge.

The real key, though, is the Allroadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adaptive air suspension, which allows it to transform from wagon to off-roader at the push of a button. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effectively several cars in one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from sporty wagon to versatile soft-roader.

At highway speed, the suspension automatically lowers the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ride height by 15 millimetres to improve aerodynamics and handling; but when off-road clearance is required, the same system jacks the car up by an additional 35 millimetres, delivering a total ground clearance of 175 millimetres, which rivals many â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;genuineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; SUVs. Audiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cabin presentation has steadily evolved to the point where it now rivals the standards of its German arch-rivals Mercedes and

BMW. In particular, the instrument panel is probably the best weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen anywhere, with crisp, clear dials complemented by a comprehensive, brilliantly thought-out digital display zone between the two main dials.

It allows the driver to quickly and clearly determine trip computer settings, audio, satellite navigation and other vital information.

Other switch gear is equally thoughtful and tactile, the only exception being the fan adjustment on the climate control, which requires toggling a switch and a knob to alternate between temperature and airf ow settings.

[ Our week-long road test in the A6 Allroad covered more than 500 kilometres, much of it on the open road, where the seven-speed S-Tronic auto’s long legs make this car a consummate cruiser.

Overall our test returned fuel-consumption f gures of about seven litres per 100 kilometres, an impressive number considering the surprising zest delivered by this latest version of Audi’s well-evolved three-litre V6 turbo-diesel. The off cial average is 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres, which is excellent for a car of this size and power.

The deceptive diesel engine sounds and performs more like a petrol powerplant, with its brisk acceleration and responsiveness.

We didn’t test the Allroad off the beaten track, and to be honest I’d have to question just how far from the tarmac most owners would be game to take this very posh soft-roader.

Despite the tough-looking wheel arches and alloy skid plates front and rear, the Allroad’s thick carpets and plump leather seats don’t identify it as your typical bush basher.

More likely, it will spend the majority of its time as a frugal and practical urban machine, but its all-wheel-drive grip and well-organised load space make this car a natural for families who like to escape to the snow, or perhaps some unsealed dirt or gravel roads, on the weekend.

It’s not quite a go-anywhere machine like some SUVs, but then again it’s not meant to be.

FINLAND CHAMP IN COAST RALLY Competition is heating up for the International Rally of Queensland, to be held on the Sunshine Coast in July.

Finland’s champion rally driver, Esapekka Lappi, and European car maker Skoda will join forces with the Asia Pacif c’s number one team for a major multinational bid to win the International Rally of Queensland.

Lappi will be a star attraction when he drives a factory-backed Skoda Fabia S2000 car for the Indian-owned MRF team in the FIA Asia Pacif c Rally Championship third round on July 12–14.

A second, identical car will be driven by MRF regular and two-time Indian Rally champion Guarav Gill in a f eld also set to include competitors representing France, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and Australia.

Skoda’s chairman, Winfried Vahland, says it’s one of the biggest developments for the International Rally of Queensland since Malaysian manufacturer Proton debuted a two-car team in 2010.

Lappi won the Finnish championship last year with a clean sweep of all seven rounds, and recently won the WRC2 category of the FIA World Rally Championship round in Portugal, driving a Skoda.

Esapekka Lappi is set to compete at the International Rally of Queensland in July “Asia is exactly the region where our ambition is to grow substantially in the coming years,” Vahland says.

International Rally of Queensland director Errol Bailey says Lappi, with countryman and co-driver Janne Fern, promised spectators a display of world-class driving talent.

The event will be held from July 12 to 14 and will include a rally show, a meet-and-greet and the main competition, which will be staged in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

MY MOTORING INSIDER

Features will cost on new Accord

BOCMAN1973 / SHUTTERSTOCK.COM

The latest news from MWP’s man on the ground.

Alfa to produce an SUV

Honda Australia revealed its ninth generation Accord sedan this month, making buyers pay for the privilege of some advanced safety features.

With price increases of between $3300 and $4700 on the previous model, buyers can access high-end safety features such as Honda’s LaneWatch Blind Spot Monitoring, which feeds footage from the passengerside blind spot through to the central screen. High-end models will also come with Lane Assist, Autonomous Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control.

VW expands capped-price servicing

The head of Alfa Romeo UK has conf rmed, “there will certainly be an SUV in the next two or three years”. This is a relief to Alfa fans who have seen SUV concepts dating back to 2003. The tie-up between Fiat and Chrysler opened the door for more speculation, especially when it conf rmed Jeep models would be built alongside Fiats in Italy.

Drinnan’s Deal Brand New 2013

Now covering all Volkswagen models, the German Manufacturer claims to have become the f rst European manufacturer in Australia to offer a six-year capped-price servicing scheme.

Capped pricing means Volkswagen servicing will cost the same no matter what VW dealership it is serviced at and normally applies only to vehicles bought after the capped-price program is introduced. Actual pricing can be found on caradvice.com.au. VW was facing pressure from online forums regarding its servicing costs at dealerships and is hoping this capped price program will show customers that it listens.

You want to sleep soundly knowing that if worst comes to worst, it won’t end in tears. How can these arrangements be safely entered into?

ARE YOU

COVERED? PREVIEW It’s a big mistake to jump into buying a property with a friend, partner or relative without first seeking independent legal advice.

WORDS Tom Wood is from Ferguson Cannon Lawyers

Take these common situations: • You want to buy your f rst home, but you can’t get a loan by yourself. Your best mate is in the same situation. You decide to pool your resources and buy a house together. You have $20,000 for a deposit but he has only $10,000.

• Your parents want to contribute money to help you to buy a property. They want to be ‘protected’ but aren’t sure how to go about it.

• You and your husband want to buy a property together with your brother and sister-in-law. They will live in the property, but you want things to be ‘fair’ for you and your husband.

• You and your business partner get on so well you also decide to buy an investment property together.

• A friend needs cash and you want to invest in property, so you agree to buy a half-share of the friend’s house.

The parties will usually have a chat about who will pay for what, and what happens if they want to sell. Nothing is signed between them. The bank lends them money and the property is bought amid high excitement. One of two things will then happen: 1. Everyone does the right thing, the investment goes well and the property is eventually sold and everyone is happy; OR 2. The parties have a falling out or there is a change in one party’s circumstances.

They realise that they are stuck in a major f nancial commitment with someone they no longer like or trust. There is nothing in

[ 42 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ M AY 17, 2013

42.indd 1

writing. One of them wants to sell immediately or make the other party buy them out for a high price. The parties are angry, stressed and confused and are about to discover that they are in for an expensive legal battle. Friendships or family relationships are damaged or destroyed.

You want to sleep soundly knowing that if worst comes to worst, it won’t end in tears. How can these arrangements be safely entered into? Well, as lawyers love to say, that depends on the circumstances.

First of all, the parties should get independent legal and accounting advice.

The legal advice will help to protect each party from unexpected future nastiness.

The accounting advice will look at whether the proposal is advisable from a tax and f nancial viewpoint.

It is important to realise that buying a property with a friend or family member creates a legal partnership relationship.

Like any other partnership agreement, it should be in writing. This document is usually called a co-owners’ deed. It covers things such as: • the minimum ownership period before the property can be sold, • pre-emptive rights – this means whether a partner who wants to get out has to f rst offer it to the other partner at an agreed price before the property has to be put on the market, • who is to pay mortgage payments, rates and other expenses and in what proportions,

• the duties of each partner, • how to value the share of a partner who wants to sell, • how to value the property if the partners can’t agree on an asking price, • different equity contributions between partners, • non-monetary contributions such as capital improvements, • if one partner lives in the property – rent or other arrangements, • maintenance and capital improvements, • insurance, and • dispute resolution, including whether a dispute must go to mediation before going to court.

In the majority of cases, the co-owners’ deed is put in a drawer, everyone does the right thing, and there is no need to refer to the document. However, if there is a dispute, the co-owners’ deed, which may have been signed years before, is a lifesaver. It can solve disputes and preserve friendships and family relationships (or at least minimise the damage). If a partner tries to dodge the obligations under the co-owners’ deed, a mediator or a court will be likely to enforce the deed. This is because the deed is good evidence of the partners’ intention at the time of buying the property.

Obviously a verbal arrangement (also known in the industry as ‘he-said-shesaid’) is more diff cult to enforce than a written and signed agreement.

It is usually advisable for all co-owners to be registered on the property title. If M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

5/14/2013 1:17:27 PM

this isn’t the case, a ‘consent caveat’ can be lodged on the title, which would prevent the property being sold unless the caveator (the partner who isn’t on the title) is satisf ed and releases the caveat.

The problem with a consent caveat is that the bank’s agreement must be obtained, and this usually won’t be given. Therefore, in most cases, the written agreement is the main protection for the partners.

However, all co-owners have a ‘caveatable interest’ in the property, and if there is trouble they can lodge a caveat over the property to buy themselves three months to try to settle the dispute or take court action if necessary.

In my experience, the existence of a co-owners’ deed is enough to remind the partners of their obligations and sort out any issues which may arise during the course of the relationship.

If the relationship is of lender and borrower rather than co-owners, a loan agreement should be drawn up. A loan should be secured by a mortgage, but again the bank’s

consent to this would be required.

Whether a property is being bought or a share of a property is to be transferred, stamp duty is usually payable. If a property or a share of a property is being transferred between related parties, independent valuation evidence from an agent or valuer will be required for stamping purposes.

If you are buying property with a boyfriend, girlfriend or de facto spouse, you should get family law advice as well.

It must be said that most coownership arrangements proceed without a hitch and with the documents safely left in the drawer.

However, no one can predict the future, and the downside is so great where there are unforeseen problems that it is a good idea to have a document which can be relied on. Legal costs will vary and a reasonably accurate quote should be obtained.

You should always get early professional advice before going ahead with a co-ownership arrangement.

MOVING ON UP

T

eam Godwin Real Estate has a new home in Minyama. Principal Luke Godwin says the move came about after Team Godwin, formerly based in Mooloolaba, listed a local landlord’s investment property – the seller had purchased some off ce space on Jessica Boulevard late last year, and when Team Godwin was in the process of selling

another of his properties, the opportunity arose to shift into the premises.

Godwin says he’s proud to have been able to give business back to one of his clients through the off ce move.

The new off ce is at 4/68 Jessica Boulevard, Minyama, and all other contact details have remained the same.

27 Acres on the Edge of Town Amazing house site opportunities from private, to overlooking lake sized springfed dam and the “Pièce de Résistance” an elevated site with views down the Bli Bli Valley all the way to the Ocean.

Was a top producing orchard with rich volcanic soil and abundant water – now very rundown. With the land in need of TLC an opportunity presents itself with little expense to return this paddock into a beautiful acreage once more. Circumstances require an urgent sale and the price has been sacrificed to attract early offers.

AUCTION SUNDAY

Telling a client what they want to hear with regards to price is often used in the real estate industry to secure a listing.

Once the listing is secured, the agent then conditions the seller down to the price they will get, which often is not what the client needs, wants or expects. This practice not only places distrust in the minds of the clients but also can leave a property listed on the market without a result. This in turn also leaves the client out of pocket for advertising and other expenses and a very bad taste in their mouth. Statistics show that properties overpriced become “stale listings” and are dismissed. Buyers are educated and generally know their market and what a property is worth.

In my experience, this approach rarely works. A real estate transaction must benefit everyone involved and needs to be a win/win situation if you want to create long lasting relationships.

I believe that it’s important first and foremost to gain the trust of my client.

The only way to do this is to be honest about what the market is doing and the price that my client will achieve. Yes it is possible I may lose the business first hand because it’s not what my client wants to hear, however, in the long run the client will respect me for being honest and will come back to me when they have not achieved the result they originally wanted.

I find my clients appreciate my honesty and integrity and this creates long lasting relationships.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 20 Clear communication is crucial this weekend, rams, otherwise you may completely misunderstand what someone says – and then rush off in a totally unsuitable direction.

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 All sorts of domestic activities are favoured, as the moon moves through your family zones. But avoid communicating about money, as things could get complicated and confusing.

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 Check and double-check all information that comes your way. Tricky Neptune aspects could scramble your antennae and lead to mix-ups and misinformation spoiling your weekend.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 This weekend, use your intuition to come up with innovative solutions to stubborn old problems.

But, if you are less than 100% truthful, you’ll be caught out, crabs.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 Saturday is the time to shine, as the moon moves through your sign.

Group activities are also favoured, as you extend your peer group to include a creative new crowd.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 Communication will be somewhat confusing this weekend. What you say – and what others hear – may be two completely different things. Take the time to explain yourself carefully.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Attached Librans – an element of surprise will add sparkle to your relationship this weekend. Singles – jump out of your comfort zone and look for someone who is not your usual type.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Don’t believe everything you hear – especially from a child, teenager or friend.

Check the facts. Perhaps they’ve been rather elastic with the truth, or have you misunderstood them?

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 When it comes to hobbies and recreational activities, try something new and exciting this weekend. But communicate your ideas clearly – otherwise there’ll be chaos and confusion.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 You’ve got so much to do, and so little time. Stop complaining about your work load – and quit criticising others. Even though it’s the weekend, just get on with it.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 Positive Venus/Uranus aspects increase your devil-may-care attitude – especially in regard to love.

Just remember there is a fine line between spontaneous and reckless.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 If a family member tells you something, check the facts first before you pass it on.

If you misconstrue their meaning, you could end up with a misunderstanding on your hands.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Well, well, well. It seems the conditions are good, real good. SW winds and a small two- to three-foot swell with sunshine aplenty – great for diving, f shing and grabbing a few cheeky waves! My advice would be to road trip it up to Pitta Street and surrounding walkways. Then drop into Raw Energy at Peregian for a coffee to warm you up. From what I am seeing on the reports it is going to be a cracker of a weekend and remember, once ya dead, ya dead, so get amongst it! Oh and if you have just returned from Indo, I know you just scored epic waves, so be sure to tell everyone, because we love hearing it. Not!

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Some great bream and f athead are being taken on plastics this week with the Cod Hole and down to Chambers Island the perfect drift in the Maroochy River, likewise in the Mooloolah River. Sea bream are moving over both Mooloolah and Maroochy bars on the night tide with herring and fowl gut the best baits.

SURF: It’s a great time of year for beach anglers with bream, tailor and dart working into holes from Maroochy Life Saving Club to Mudjimba and Kawana. Some gutters are deeper than usual, so jew and sharks have moved in. Big baits are the go!

OFFSHORE: Close-in reefs are f ring for mixed reef f sh, but snapper to f ve kilos are also working bait from Murphy’s to Currimundi. The top end of the Barons is also a hot spot with dawn and dusk using whole pillies and squid for squire and pearlies.

FRESHWATER: Lake Baroon is a great impoundment for winter bass with kayaks and canoes able to work in close to weeded areas without spooking f sh. Spinner baits and plastics work just as well as live shrimps.
