’ve never owned a Kombi. My partner has a Transporter (VW’s ‘new and improved’ version of the classic people mover), but you know, it’s just not the same really.

That’s about it for my connection with the much-loved van, which around the world has become the status symbol for the carefree, laidback life, and a much-coveted vehicle for school leavers, backpackers, retired baby boomers, and generation Xers entering the crises of midlife. I am 40 next year and I am told by those much younger than me that technically 40 is middle-aged, so I fully expect to have a crisis myself. That’s something to look forward to in 2014!

Anyway, the Kombi is still being produced in Brazil, but not for much longer, so this week Sam Walker is spending some time under the bonnet of a few of the Coast’s

] Kombis, and chatting to owners, past and present, about their love affair with this special car. Groovy baby!

Speaking of all things hip, this week auctioneer Gordon Macdonald gives us his take on the Christmas property market. That’s over in My Property Preview, on page 63.

The kids have all f nished school, and if you’re looking for something to keep them busy you can get some ideas in our summer holiday guide, on page 31, or over in our my time section on page 34.

We’ve got some gifts of your (and others) in our special f ve-page my style spread, starting on page 39, plus some beauty buys and ideas for good health, over in my body on page 48. And this week we have our regular retirement feature, featuring over 50s living options you’ll want to come home to. They’ll even let you bring the Kombi.

Thanks for the memories

my first kombi

The world’s last Kombi will roll off the production line later this month, so MWP is offering this tribute to the globe’s most loved people mover.

T

here is surely no other car that causes such deep-seated emotion in so many people from so many corners of the globe as the Volkswagen Kombi.

This iconic vehicle, the original people mover with the curved edges, has captured the hearts of millions over the 63 years it has been in production.

For many the Kombi represents peace, love and freedom.

In Australia it is synonymous with surf ng, backpackers and hippies. It speaks of endless summers and a carefree existence, camping with mates, road trips and family holidays.

One of its many charms is its tendency to break down and stories abound of the innovative ways to keep them on the road. But it is best-loved for its durability and versatility.

Jennie Turner, co-owner of Deluxe Kombi Service in Caloundra says their vehicles never cease to turn heads and

people are always approaching them to share stories. “You get kids giving you the peace sign,” she says.

“It’s the only vehicle that has become iconic worldwide. It’s been embraced by every culture.”

Brazil is the last place in the world still producing the iconic Volksie Kombi in the classic Type 2 shape. It has been in continuous production there since 1957, amounting to claims it is the longest produced model in the history of car production.

Sadly, the Kombi is nearing the end of its journey. Volkswagen will end production at its Brazilian plant on December 31, unable to meet new safety regulations.

In memory of this iconic vehicle MWP has chatted to a number of people who have shared their memories of this much-loved van. Enjoy the trip down memory lane with them.

production The Type 2 Kombi van has been in continuous production in Brazil since 1957.

Dave D ave H Hawkins, awkins M Mountain ountain C Creek reek The love affair with Kombis started for Hawkins when he was 10. His dad had a win at the races and bought the latest pop-top camper. “It was brand new, off the showroom floor," Hawkins tells MWP. "It was yellow. I can still remember the number plate: 135 ODD. We were a family of five. We went all the way down to Mount Kosciuszko in it.”

Hawkins has owned four Kombis. “I love ‘em. I got my first one, I would have been about 19, 20 years old.”

It was a white 1600cc 1974 camper (pictured above at Point Cartwright in 1985) he owned for about three years. “At that stage, as a single guy right into my surfing, it was a home on wheels. On Friday nights [I would] throw everyone in the back of the car, and the surfboards, and we would just drive south until we found the waves. There was a convoy of us.”

But it was his fourth Kombi, “the black one”, that was quite a character and offers his favourite memories. “I had a big screwdriver, that was the key. There was a house brick behind the seat that when I pulled up … I’d open the door, the wheel was right there and you would throw [the brick] behind the wheel and that was the handbrake.”

He drove it without a clutch for months, including a hairy trip to a music gig in Brisbane’s CBD, when he miraculously managed to miss every red light and avoid changing down gears to make it to the venue in time.

And he drove it to Sydney on three cylinders despite a mechanic telling him he wouldn’t make it to Brisbane.

Zoe Martin, Tewantin “Her name’s Pearl. I’m a very new Kombi owner. I’ve had her nearly six months.

She’s a 1977 bay window. She’s a cream and off white – pearl. The original owners before me called her Pearlie,” says Martin.

Martin might be a relatively new Kombi owner but her love of the iconic car has opened up a world of friendships.

She was part of the Kombi Club for three years while she was looking for her perfect set of wheels. When she found one she wanted to look at in Bangalow, near Byron Bay, friends in the Kombi Club put her in touch with their friends who lived nearby.

“They drove me in their pink Beetle to have a look,” she says.

“Her partner is a mechanic and had a look and said, ‘yes, she is worth the money you’re paying’.”

The champagne came out, a new friendship was cemented and one more relationship with a Kombi was underway.

Martin has another car, in case Pearl is off the road. “Pearlie has an oil leak, which is completely normal, so I tend to rest her on long trips.”

She is looking forward to the adventures ahead and meeting many more friends.

Michael Flocke, Moffat Beach

Flocke grew up with Kombis – his dad owned a Volkswagen mechanical workshop at Moffat Beach. “My f rst memory of a Kombi is hanging on to the handle on the front of the dash,” he tells MWP. He has only ever owned Kombis and along with his partner, Jennie, as part of Deluxe Kombi Service, he hires the restored vehicles out to other enthusiasts.

“I think it’s the simplicity of them, maybe,” he says of their popularity. “And the quality of the car, it’s got longevity.”

His favourite memory is from 1992. “A week into my licence I drove from the Sunshine Coast all the way to Canberra.”

It was a road trip with mates to the snow with a stop-off in Sydney on the way home.

“I think that’s what a lot of people are going back to," Flocke says. "That freedom and it’s not how fast you go down the road, it’s who you’re with and what you’re doing.”

get on board

The Samba Mircrobus, released in 1951, could carry up to nine people, making it the world’s first 'people mover' or mini bus.

the first...

...Kombi was based on a Volkswagen Beetle. It was known as the Type 2 (the Beetle was Type 1) and was referred to as the Volkswagen Transporter.

Nick and Keri Parker-Davies, Doonan It started with a derelict split-screen 1967 left-handdrive Californian import and it grew into a successful Kombi restoration business in two countries. Nick Parker-Davies bought his f rst Kombi from Wales when he was in his mid-20s. “It was a complete wreck, just a shell,” he says.

He ran his own mechanical business in England and stood the bus, as Kombis are known in the United Kingdom, in a corner of the garage and started bringing it back to life. “I completely restored it in nine months.”

His wife, Keri, says their business, Bus Gutz, started when they were unable to f nd someone to do the interior and they saw an opportunity.

They operated it for about 10 years before moving

to Australia and starting the Kombi Shop at Doonan about nine years ago. They now restore Kombis from all over the country.

After two decades the couple has many stories to tell, like the couple who wanted dog beds f tted instead of a normal bed, the guy who bought his Kombi new and still owns it 40 years on and the couple whose child was conceived in one.

Nick says a memorable experience for him was the f rst show he attended for Bus Gutz. Hundreds of people lined up to see his restored vehicle and over the weekend they gave out 3000 business cards. But the journey there was a highlight, travelling through the countryside of Wales with mates – it sums up the Kombi experience.

Jon Wilson, Brisbane Wilson drives about 1000 kilometres a week in his Kombi – with no airconditioner.

It sounds like hell in the middle of a Queensland summer, but for a Kombi lover it is just part of the journey. “[Put] all the windows down and hang on,” he says of the experience. “It does get warm but you get used to it.”

Besides, Wilson, who works at Doyle Sails at Moffat Beach, says it is no worse than being in the workshop all day.

Wilson has owned Kombis for 22 years and the 1990 model he is driving is his f fth one. He picked it up for $50.

“They just go forever,” he says. “You can do anything you want in one.”

One of his favourite memories is from a camping trip about 12 years ago, somewhere at the back of Glen Innes in NSW. It was in a 1976 model he had restored.

“I was driving through a creek and it was waist-deep water and it just kept going. I had the whole family, all the kids in the car. I didn’t know the creek was that deep. It did another 3000 kilometres on that trip.”

“We saw an opportunity”

Kerrie Farrow, Tinbeerwah Farrow has owned two Kombis. The f rst, a 1962 split-screen, was in the early 1980s “before children”. She lived in Victoria at the time and drove it across the Nullarbor.

“We drove it across to WA at 45 miles per hour and had a wonderful trip,” Farrow says “They’re an iconic vehicle and I guess they kind of represent your freedom and fun.

They’re a lot of fun to drive. There’s a great camaraderie with other Kombi drivers.”

Her current Kombi is a red and cream 1975 fully restored bay window she has owned for about a year.

“My father was diagnosed with terminal cancer," Farrow says. "In

tidying up his affairs he dished out his inheritance to us while he was still alive, which I found a bit weird.”

Farrow asked her father what he wanted her to do with the money and he suggested she buy the Volkswagen she’d always wanted.

She bought it from the Kombi Shop at Doonan and had it fully restored there. She sent her dad pictures of the restoration process. “[When it was f nished] I drove the car down to Victoria to show the car to him and that was the last time I saw my dad.

“I have a beautiful connection with my dad through the car.”

Farrow says the notoriously slow Kombis are a great reminder that life is about the journey, not the destination.

this is the end

Brazil will cease production of the kombi on December 31, finishing with a commemorative special series, the Kombi Last Edition.

BUDERIM FOUNDATION GIVES GENEROUSLY

F

or most of us, the festive season is a time of giving – we carefully select gifts and enjoy exchanging them with friends and loved ones.

For contributors to the Buderim Foundation, giving is a year-round affair.

The Buderim Foundation was established 10 years ago by the Buderim War Memorial Community Association, with the aim of creating a long-term organisation able to help Buderim’s growth, development and amenity.

It is a nationally registered philanthropic organisation and is one of only 32 community foundations across Australia.

Buderim Foundation chair, Professor Paul Clark, says the Foundation is unique in that every dollar donated is invested.

“We’re lucky enough to have two very good sponsors, in Buderim Pharmacy and Eden Lea, who essentially cover our operating costs,”

Because we never spend the money in our trust funds we continue to grow, so each year we’re able to give more Clark says. “So every dollar donated or raised goes into our trust funds.”

That money is overseen by the foundation’s investment committee, which invests the funds to generate income, which is given back to the community in the form of grants.

“It is only those earnings that we then distribute as grants to community organisations,” Clark says. “Because we never spend the money in our trust funds we continue to grow, so each year we’re able to give more, and offer slightly bigger grants.

“Our aim is to continue that process, and give some signif cant grants that can have a lasting impact on Buderim’s future.”

Grants are announced at the foundation’s Good News Night. This usually happens once

a year, but Clark says this year applications are open for a second round of grants.

Many Coast residents make regular donations, and the foundation also hosts fundraising events. However, people are increasingly choosing to make a bequest to the foundation, ensuring a portion of their funds or assets remain in the Buderim community.

Bequests come from residents or

Professor Paul Clark, Buderim Foundation chair people who live elsewhere but have a connection to Buderim, and want to see the suburb thrive.

“It’s an opportunity for people who want to give back to Buderim to do so, and to know it will be an enduring gift,” Clark says.

ABOUT THE BUDERIM FOUNDATION Established in 2004, it is one of only 32 community foundations in Australia.

There are less than f ve in Queensland.

The foundation has more than 400 local ambassadors who donate their time and talent to support its work.

A current focus is Buderim’s youth community. From 2005 to 2010 the foundation gave $42,000 in school vouchers to families struggling with school expenses.

ARE YOU DISASTER-READY? And he says many families are not prepared.

But the State Government’s Get Ready Queensland campaign combined with severe weather events in recent years are changing attitudes.

“People are generally starting to take it more seriously than they have in the past and make the necessary preparations around their homes, and they are aware that we can get these events down here,” Wyatt says.

If disaster does strike, the Sunshine Coast’s SES volunteers are usually the f rst port of call for many locals and Wyatt says they are often inundated with hundreds of requests for help. While he has

WHAT TO INCLUDE IN AN EMERGENCY KIT • A f rst-aid kit • Water and non-perishable food to last three days • Essential medications and prescriptions • Toilet paper • Personal hygiene items • Torch and spare batteries • Battery-powered radio with extra batteries • Pre-paid phone cards • Warm clothes, waterproof jacket and gloves

• Closed-in footwear • Important documents • Whistle • Utility knife • Duct tape • Plastic rubbish bags • Spare house and car keys • Food and water for pets

ith severe weather systems sweeping the state and causing widespread havoc over the last few summers, emergency service operators are encouraging Coast residents to be disaster-ready.

We’ve already been lashed by severe storm fronts bringing strong winds, heavy rainfall and large hailstones this season.

And with summer just beginning it is time to prepare homes and gardens and ensure emergency plans are in place for the family and pets.

Queensland State Emergency Service Sunshine Coast area director Andrew Wyatt says the main issues facing this region through summer months are f ash f ooding, severe storms, heavy rainfall and bushf re.

GET READY ✓ Do you have enough food and water to be self-suff cient for three days? ✓ Know how to turn off your home’s mains power, water and gas supply. ✓ Be aware of manufacturers’ shutdown procedures for solar panels. ✓ Get to know your neighbours – they could help you or might need your help during a disaster. ✓ Learn the risks particular to your area.

600 members he can call on between Glass House Mountains and Noosa there are usually only half that number available at any one time.

“They are volunteers and we try and get to people as quickly as we can,” he says.

“We ask people to be patient.”

But he says the more people are prepared for disasters and resilient to potential problems the better it is for everyone.

“The more people can do for themselves and the more they can do on their own property, the more they can relieve pressure on the SES and the council.”

TIPS FOR BEING DISASTER-READY Prepare an emergency plan.

Prepare an evacuation plan.

Have an emergency kit.

Tune into warnings.

Check on your neighbours.

Prepare your home.

Have an emergency plan for your pets.

oast residents are being urged think about safety when putting up Christmas lights and decorations this year.

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services commissioner Lee Johnson says the last thing families need during the holidays is a mishap due to faulty Christmas decorations.

“Many families often forget the hazards that damaged or worn decorations can create in the family home,” Johnson says.

“Fairy and Christmas tree lights are only used a few weeks of the year and they can easily be damaged in storage.

“These decorations are part and parcel of Christmas celebrations but at the same time they have the potential to become life-threatening hazards and cause undue heartache.”

He says it is important to test lights to ensure they are safe to use.

Mike Sopinski from RACQ agrees the festive decorations can

be dangerous. “Queenslanders need to be aware the festive season can be a high-risk period for home f res and we have seen a rise in the number of electrical f re insurance claims over the summer period,” Sopinski says.

“When setting up fairy lights and other electric decorations, power boards should not be overloaded by piggy-backing double adaptors and only one item per socket should be used.”

TIPS FOR SAFE DECORATIONS • Lights should have an Australian Standards label.

• Do not use lights designed for interior use outside.

• Do not leave lights on for prolonged periods of time, while you are away from home or when you go to bed.

• Lights generate heat so keep away from f ammable items.

Fauna watch

NDIS committee

The Sunshine Coast Council and University of the Sunshine Coast have joined forces to undertake a comprehensive survey of fauna species in the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve.

USC wildlife ecologist Dr Scott Burnett says the research program will involve multiple monitoring stations and sampling devices throughout the reserve.

He says the fauna within the reserve is vulnerable to feral animals and extreme weather events and the survey will determine how various species are faring.

The council will contribute $40,000 towards the program through the MCSR donation fund and USC will contribute a similar amount in-kind.

Member for Fisher Mal Brough has been appointed to chair the Joint Standing Committee on the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Brough says he is “delighted” to be given the opportunity to be a part of developing one of the most important and signif cant social policy initiatives in Australian history.

TEST TRIAL TO SAVE LIVES

A

Melbourne woman involved in a world-first test that aims to reduce stillbirths says she hopes she can help other expectant mothers avoid the heartbreaking tragedy.

Mercy Health researchers have developed a blood test that will help doctors test to see if a foetus is at risk of stillbirth.

Researchers say the test, which measures a baby’s oxygen levels inside the womb, could be more effective than an ultrasound.

Rochelle Haralambous had blood tests throughout her pregnancy to monitor her premature baby Tia, as part of the study.

Doctors monitored Tia to ensure she was not born too early or too late.

“If it can help any mums in the decision-making of taking that baby out of their stomach and delivering it early, then that would certainly

help a lot,” Haralambous says.

She says the test could help her again in the future if she decides to have more children.

Lead researcher Clare Whitehead and professors Stephen Tong and Susan Walker developed the test, which measures RNA fragments that are released when a baby is suffering from dangerously low levels of oxygen.

Whitehead says the test can help doctors deliver premature babies at the right time.

“If we know how much oxygen the baby is getting we can deliver pregnancies prior to the oxygen levels becoming very low and the baby succumbing to stillbirths.”

She says the test could be made available in three to f ve years.

An international clinical trial is taking place across seven hospitals in Australia and New Zealand.

One in every 135 Australian pregnancies ends in stillbirth. AAP

hina has announced a ban on the serving of shark fin and bird’s nest soup at official banquets, as part of a sweeping government crackdown on corruption and excessive spending.

Shark f n has effectively been off the menu at off cial dining tables since 2012 when Beijing pledged to bar the popular yet controversial delicacy as part of its antiextravagance campaign. Demand for shark f n has plummeted after many high-end restaurants stopped serving the dish, along with other expensive delicacies favoured by Communist Party off cials such as abalone and bird’s nest soup.

An order from the Communist Party Central Committee and the State Council “explicitly ruled out dishes containing shark f ns, bird nests and wild animal products in off cial reception dinners”, reports the off cial Xinhua news agency.

“Off cials on business tours should arrange their own meals

Detail of a swiftlet nest. Bird nest soup is a delicacy for the wealthy Chinese according to relevant expenditure standards and the local hosts are allowed to provide only one reception dinner if needed,” it says, citing the regulation.

The detailed document also bars expensive liquors and cigarettes from being offered at local authority receptions.

Chinese off cials have long held lavish liquor-drenched receptions as a way of building business relationships, greasing the wheels of power, and showing off wealth and status.

SMALL BUSINESS WARNING

F

or the first time in five years the centre of regional small business confidence has shifted from Asia to Australia and New Zealand. Small business confidence in Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore is down significantly for the year ahead.

Theses are among the key f ndings of CPA Australia’s f fth annual Asia-Pacif c Small Business Survey.

CPA Australia chief executive Alex Malley says the survey is part of a longitudinal study, which began in 2009, tracking small business conf dence throughout the Asia-Pacif c region.

“Our survey shows clearly that the current global economic volatility is severely impacting small business conf dence in Asia, with conf dence signif cantly down in Hong Kong and Malaysia compared with 2013, and slipping in Indonesia and Singapore,” Malley says.

“Small business is the canary in the coal mine when it comes to economic uncertainty and volatility and this survey should send a clear warning throughout the region that all is not well with the sector.

“On the positive side, it appears that the change of government in Australia has provided a welcome shot in the arm to small business conf dence with one in f ve small businesses surveyed expecting

CPA Australia chair Alex Malley to increase employee numbers in 2014.”

In New Zealand, he says surging property prices, low interest rates and rebuilding Christchurch are helping to boost small business conf dence.

Malley hopes the survey will become a vital reference point for policy makers throughout the region. “With f ve years of data at our f ngertips, this survey is an excellent tool for governments and industry to compare the experiences of small business across six international markets and ensure we have the settings right to enhance eff ciency, maximise investment and stimulate this vital sector of the economy for the future.”

SCBC looks ahead to 2014 The Sunshine Coast Business Council welcomed four new board members at its annual general meeting last week.

SCBC chair Sandy Zubrinich says the business council will continue to deliver a united voice for local businesses in 2014 with help from new members Suncorp Bank treasurer Tim Hughes, Simon Ambrose from Sunshine Coast Destination, Hayden Rudd of NCP Bathroom Centres and Tony Vickers from Midson Construction.

“Our new board members bring a wide range of business and industry knowledge to the table and it’s great to see so many of the Coast’s key industries represented on the board,” says Zubrinich.

“This allows us to better understand the needs of all local businesses and a region that is competing globally for tourists, markets and capital, and provide a balanced and unif ed voice when contributing to regional strategic discussions and lobbying government.”

She says 2014 will focus on addressing the region’s challenges, which means taking steps to lower the youth unemployment rate and working with the council and business to ensure timely delivery of the economic development strategy.

Zubrinich thanked the four retiring SCBC board members, Gwyn Jarrott, Mike Hefferan, Barrie Adams and Sandra Reardon.

s the saying goes, there are two things in life that are certain – death and taxes. We have previously discussed superannuation and how it will be the biggest asset for most people after their family home. As a result, it is important to consider superannuation when you are undertaking your estate planning.

It may come as a surprise that at death your super account may be treated differently to your other assets, as it does not automatically form part of your estate. The trustee of your super fund will generally pay the proceeds as per your nomination – if you have made one.

Depending on the exact rules of your super fund, you may be able to nominate how your account is dispersed upon your death. A binding death benef t nomination usually remains in effect for three years and legally binds the trustee to pay your benef t to your dependents or legal representative (your estate).

This gives you control over where your funds are paid. Your benef ts must be paid out as soon as practicable after your death.

Although your super fund may allow you to make a non-lapsing death-benef t nomination, it is crucial that you do not adopt a ‘set and forget’ approach as you need to make sure your nomination remains suited to your circumstances. For example, as your children grow older, or you divorce and re-marry, you may wish to change your nomination.

If you are receiving a superannuation pension you may be able to nominate an eligible person, such as your spouse, who can continue to receive the pension after your death. This can allow the funds to remain in superannuation and retain the associated tax and Centrelink benef ts.

If the pension is reversionary, however, an anti-detriment payment

is not available. The anti-detriment payment basically aims to refund the tax paid on previous super contributions and can be paid to a spouse, child or estate.

The tax treatment of the payout can vary depending on the tax components of your account and who receives the funds upon your death. This must be taken into consideration when making your nomination.

It is important that you make a considered estate plan that includes your super and also regularly review this plan to ensure your assets pass to your chosen benef ciaries in an eff cient and desired manner.

David Allen

from Sandbar Café & Kiosk What task do you love being able to hand over to the apprentice and why? This is probably a cliched answer, but peeling onions – nobody likes that job!

What’s the best part of being a chef?

Well def nitely not the hours! I guess creating dishes that enhance one’s dining experience and getting positive feedback (hopefully). I love taking a cheaper style of meat, like pork cheek, and turning it into an amazing dish.

Who’s the most interesting person you’ve ever cooked for? I think Jimmy Barnes had dinner at the hotel I was working at the snow. That’s my claim to fame!

On of the most One glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on ay Christmas Day Andy Rooney

Wednesday $22

Nolans MSA 250gm Rump or 220gm Schnitzel includes schooner of beer or glass of house wine

Monday KIDS EAT FREE One free kids meal with each main meal purchased

What’s the best advice anyone ever gave you? Keep it simple, don’t complicate f avours. If you have great fresh ingredients then there’s no need to add confusion to an already beautiful product.

What’s your favourite local produce and how do you use it? Hervey Bay scallops are a great local product with a sweet and rich f avour. An easy dinner option: make a herb and parmesan butter crust with a pickled green mango salad.

What’s your go-to meal at home?

Rarely do I cook at home, but when I do have a night free I’ll just grab a kilo of local cooked prawns, a glass of vino and sit by the beach.

Who is the most influential person in your life and why? Undoubtedly my beautiful wife; she has changed my perception of how I do my job and the chef I have become. I think working together has made our relationship stronger and I love working with her, even when she tells me what to do (ha, ha).

“better generally” since the end of apartheid, corruption in government made him doubt “the blacks are better off”. He cited recent security upgrades worth $US20 million (around $22 million) on President Jacob Zuma’s home which caused national outcry – around two million black South Africans live in shacks.

Kalk Bay is not representative of South Africa, which has one of the world’s highest inequality rates. It is a stunningly beautiful place, with mountains dropping down to the sea, and a small harbour full of colourful boats and trendy restaurants and shops. But it shows a South Africa that would not be recognised by those who grew up in the apartheid years.

One restaurant owner drew decor inspiration from Cuba, whose soldiers he battled during the apartheid regime’s Cold War campaigns against regional neighbour Angola.

Barman Michiel Peters, 19, is part of the group of people born after democracy and comfortable with staying. The descendant of initial Dutch settlers has no plans to leave South Africa. “I am an Afrikaner, quite traditional. I want to buy a farm.”

And Mandela went to great lengths to include whites in his dream of a new world. That vision was based on the Freedom Charter of his party the African National Congress party, which opens with the words “South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black or white”. This won over many distrustful whites.

he footpath blackboard outside the pizza parlour in South Africa’s quaint seaside village Kalk Bay, inhabited mainly by whites, changed for the first time in months on Friday. ‘RIP Tata Madiba’, it read the day after the aged liberation leader’s death last week, using Nelson Mandela’s clan name and the affectionate ‘tata’ (daddy).

The other side carried a quote from Mandela encouraging people of different racial groups to love one another. It portrays the new respect South Africa’s whites harbour for the revered statesman. But it also glosses over historical distrust of the ‘terrorist’ imprisoned for 27 years, then suddenly lauded for a lifetime of peaceful struggle. It didn’t f t with the image white authorities had sketched of Mandela during apartheid.

Outside the nearby Holy Trinity Anglican Church, which dates back to early colonial days, the beautiful lychgate was adorned with posters and images of Mandela with some of his famous sayings. On the main street women in shorts jogged past antique shops and fashion boutiques, while in the background could be heard the whump of cannon f re from the nearby Simon’s Town naval base.

It’s a reminder that South Africa has not always been as peaceful as it is today. And residents’ words betray a divergence in views between older generations who once voted in favour of white-minority rule and young

White African’s uneasy love for Mandela As the world says goodbye to the man who ended apartheid in South African, the citizens of the nation mourn in their own way. people who have known only all-race democracy in their lifetimes.

Outside the church, student Philip Heijnan, 22, said, “Mandela was the country’s best president. I don’t think there is any one person in this country who doesn’t like him.”

Born in 1992, two years before the f rst democratic elections that ended apartheid, Heijnan plans to live out his life here. “I’ll stay in South Africa, if it still stays as great as it is.”

But down the road a shopkeeper had a different take. “While he was in

jail for 27 years whites thought he was the devil. Now they think he was God,” she said, asking not to be named because her remarks were so out of tune with public sentiment.

“He was a statesman, not an ordinary politician,” said a 76-year-old man painting a sign outside a pub.

“But you have to obey the law of the land and if he had grown old without his punishment I don’t think he would have been talking to anybody.

Jail made him and the country.”

ot everybody gets a second chance at happiness but for John Davies and Judy Wrigley, residents of Aveo Peregian Springs Country Club retirement village, their retirement years brought new-found love and companionship.

When Davies’ wife and partner of 57 years passed away, he found himself very much alone. It was then that he decided to move to Aveo Peregian Springs for extra company and security.

“After arriving at Aveo, I joined in on the many social activities on offer including happy hour as it was a great opportunity to meet like-minded residents with similar interests,” Davies says.

“It was there that I met Judy who reintroduced me to activities that I hadn’t enjoyed for many years.

I have now met a companion with such similar interests to my own

that my retirement years are once again looking rosy.”

Wrigley moved to Aveo Peregian Springs in 2007 after being widowed 15 years earlier. She also decided to move to the retirement village for the added security and comfort it provided.

“Having been on my own for so long, I was quite happy with my single lifestyle until December 2012, when I was introduced to a new resident of the village named John,” she says. “We soon discovered we had very similar interests and enjoyed each other’s company very much.

“Having travelled for so many years on my own it is now great to have a companion to share with me all the joys of travelling.”

Aveo Peregian Springs is located in the Peregian Springs Estate, about 20 minutes north of Maroochydore, and comprises independent living and assisted living apartments.

BLI BLI COMMUNITY A WINNER

A

ward-winning developer Halcyon will again be adding some awards to the mantle after the recent 2013 Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Queensland Awards for Excellence.

Halcyon took home the UDIA President’s Award after winning three other awards for excellence for its Bli Bli community, Halcyon Landing.

Judged Queensland’s best seniors’ living on the evening, Halcyon also won awards in the categories of Environmentally Sustainable Development (Land Based) and Environmentally Sustainable Development (Built Form).

Halcyon’s pursuit of environmental sustainability in the delivery of lifestyle communities for over 50s means Halcyon Landing has become “Queensland’s standout development of the year” according to UDIA (Qld) president Neil O’Connor.

O’Connor says Halcyon Landing is an excellent example of creative, innovative and f exible development that provided real, longterm housing solutions for Australia’s ageing population. “Halcyon’s high-quality, lowmaintenance homes are an excellent response to the market’s needs,” he says.

“Their ability to translate the needs of baby boomers into a lifestyle-orientated community that is underpinned by proven green practices impressed the judges this year and makes Halcyon Landing a very worthy winner.”

Halcyon joint managing director Bevan Geissmann says the awards are a great endorsement of the company’s commitment to innovation. “It’s about adding value for home owners and meeting their high expectations of a retirement lifestyle,” Geissmann says.

In recognition of its commitment to innovation, Halcyon Landing became the f rst retirement community in Australia to receive six-leaf EnviroDevelopment certif cation from the UDIA this year. The project was also recognised earlier in the year after taking home the Sunshine Coast Council’s Living

Halcyon Landing’s project director Chris Carley with joint managing director Bevan Geissmann Smart ‘Glossies’ award for affordable living.

When completed, Halcyon Landing will consist of 170 homes bordered by a walking trail and extensive parklands. The community features a recreational precinct with resort-style facilities including an expansive recreation club, championship-size bowling green, f ood-lit tennis court, swimming pool, spa, workshed and more.

Gated security and caravan and boat storage ensure home owners will have the freedom to lock up and go travelling, a great selling point for a generation that loves to travel knowing their homes are secure.

Is your superannuation working kiing for you? Perhaps not as well ll as it could be, and the Australian Tax Office (ATO) is here to help.

According to the ATO there is more than $1.3 trillion in super funds in this country, and close to $20 billion of that is lost super. er.

If you think some of that lost super might be yours (and if you ou have changed your name, address or job, chances are you have lost track of some of it), there are ways to recover it and then manage your super so you don’t lose any more.

The ATO has introduced an online service called SuperSeeker. Once you register you can use the service to f nd lost super, but you can also check your current super accounts, transfer money into super accounts and discover if the ATO is holding any other super for you. Registering is easy, just head to ato.gov.au/Calculators-and-tools/ SuperSeeker to f nd out more.

Changes to superannuation rules came into effect on July 1 last year and the biggest change affecting Australian workers is the increase to the compulsory rate that is paid by your employer.

This increase is incremental, going from the nine per cent it has been for many years up to 12 per cent by 2020.

From July 1 this year the upper age limit for compulsory super was also removed, so no matter how old you are, if you are eligible and working, you can still add money to your super.

Throughout your working life you will probably also want or need to change super funds.

Consolidating several funds into one is a good idea to reduce your fees, but you may also need to change funds for other reasons, such as to save on fees or if you leave a job that has a fund that accepts contributions only from that employer.

Before changing funds, check to see if this will affect your employer contributions, if you will lose insurance benef ts and what kinds of fees you may be up for if you exit a fund and then join a new one.

GOOD HEALTH

with Beverley Henderson

Sugar alternatives

T

Want to indulge your sweet tooth with some healthier alternatives? Here are some options: RAW HONEY: Perfect for toast, tea and baking, go for locally produced and organic.

MAPLE SYRUP: Buy the authentic organic variety as there are lots of fake syrups made with unhealthy sugar.

AGAVE: Agave nectar comes from the agave plant and is a similar texture to honey.

STEVIA: Great for baking, or to substitute sugar in your tea or coffee, stevia is a herb that is said to be 300 times sweeter than sugar.

XYLITOL: Most often used in baking, xylitol is a natural sweetener extracted from fruits and vegetables.

COCONUT SUGAR: Again a great straight substitute for sugar, the coconut variety tastes a bit like brown sugar.

Get healthy for Summer

recommends when clients are looking for an IPL practitioner they do some research on the machine the practice uses and ask, does the manufacturer of the equipment have a professional website that demonstrates its history and presence in the industry?

Another question is, how many treatments will I need? Some systems require many more treatments to achieve similar outcomes.

But the quality of the equipment is just one piece of the puzzle. “It isn’t just about the equipment. Other things to look for are qualif cations and experience of the people operating the equipment.” Henderson has a health science degree and lectures in medical aesthetics, while all Mediderm operators are fully qualif ed dermal practitioners and industry experienced.

If you have a skin condition that is a concern, it might respond to IPL. So what is the next step? Henderson says clients coming to Mediderm will receive a consultation f rst, and patch testing is performed 24 hours before treatment to ensure there are no adverse reactions.

he impression you get from Beverley Henderson, the owner of the Coast’s newest medical aesthetic clinic, is that it’s an exciting time in her f eld. Mediderm is bringing worldclass treatments to Parrearra and among those treatments is IPL (intense pulsed light). But while most of us might associate IPL with simply hair removal, IPL is also good for many other conditions.

Mediderm uses medical-grade IPL Lumenis M22 technology because, says Henderson, “the M22 system treats over 24 indications including vascular lesions, photo rejuvenation, skin that is f ushing, redness, rosacea, hair removal and pigmented skin”.

She says Lumenis is the Range Rover of IPL machines. “Lumenis invented IPL technology and received the f rst FDA [US Food and Drug Administration] clearance for IPL in 1995. Our system is TGA [Therapeutic Goods Administration] approved [and approved] in the States, Europe and Australia.”

Are you not as happy as you used to be? Is stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, or ADHD overwhelming you? Are anti-depressants not working for you?

Do you f nd yourself irritated, not able to feel excited, or constantly thinking negatively? Do you have trouble sleeping, your mind won’t stop racing, or you wake too often through the night? Do you get anxiety at bed time where you can hear your heart beating while your head is on the pillow?

We had an incredible response from all who were logged on for the webinar we ran about one of my favourite topics – Solving the puzzle that creates Anxiety Depression & ADHD. When you put it all together, it all makes sense.

There are 7 key underlying triggers which can cause all of these symptoms including anxiety, nervousness, depression, or lack of excitement and motivation for life. Stress feels overwhelming, and little upsets cause feelings of anger. Palpitations, excessive heat in the body, tingling in the hands or feet, irritable bowel syndrome, foggy brain and lack of concentration including ADHD in children, can also be present. Often these symptoms have been going on for months, years or even decades.

You may suffer just a few of the above symptoms or perhaps all of them.

The 7 key common triggers that affect your brain, cause a compounding effect that your brain cannot deal with, which leads to long term, and then permanent brainwave pattern changes, affecting your personality, mood, and ability to think and cope, permanently!

Fortunately it can be quite easy to address.

Patients who have suffered depression for four decades, have reported to have improved out of sight after one month and other patients have shown improvement after just one week of treatment, including sufferers of Major Depressive Disorder, and children with ADHD, who have then been able to reduce their medication in less than 7 weeks, and these results are permanent and medication free!

Proven with testing, these steps improve brain function immeasurably, without the help of medication, in adults and children. To f nd out more, call the centre and arrange a free half hour consultation, or view the webinar on our website.

KEEP YOUR HEARING AIDS FREE FROM MOISTURE It’s been said that you can’t put a price on freedom, but if you rely on a hearing aid to make your way through the world then you know that you can indeed put a price on that freedom. Hearing aids are pretty expensive. More importantly, they’re very delicate instruments, which are highly susceptible to corrosion from the adverse effects of moisture and humidity. Indeed, this damage affects all of the inner parts of hearing aids and is a leading cause of early malfunctions in the devices leading to costly repair bills.

Maintaining a moisture-free environment is the single most important measure you can take to ensure that your hearing aid’s performance won’t be compromised by humidity, dampness, or human sweat.

Fortunately, there are any numbers of products designed to keep your hearing aids dry and functioning, and obtaining them has never been easier.

Super absorbent formulas, which have been found to be vastly superior to traditional silica gel crystals, have been advanced as effective methods of reducing the effects of the moisture that is typically found in the human ear. To protect your freedom of hearing and your already expensive investment from costly repairs, you need to maintain a ready stock of available dry aid products.

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays upon us, it is easy to forget to stock up, but at Falls of Sound: Hearing Solutions, we care about your hearing and our 24/7 online presence (www.fallsofsound. com.au) allows us to service your needs almost as soon as you realize you need them.

Just for men While women around the Sunshine Coast stood in front of the mirror applying their make-up this morning, chances are they were elbowed out of the way by their image-conscious boyfriends, husbands and sons. It isn’t just the girls that want to look good, and manufacturers around the world know this only too well. A recent report by Nivea Men surveyed more than 1000 Australian men and found that in order to boost their appeal, 42 per cent of men would moisturise, 47 per cent would remove body hair, 14 per cent would get an eyebrow wax and 11 per cent would submit to a spray tan. According to the website beautydirectory.com.au, male skincare is becoming a more dominant category.

Nivea Men recently launched a new range called Originals before Palmer’s followed suit with some male-only beauty products of its own.

LIGHTING THE SUNSHINE COAST

H

aymans Electrical and Data Suppliers has been operating on the Sunshine Coast for more than 30 years, and for locals the Haymans name has long been synonymous with lighting.

Haymans supplies a wide range of light f xtures and globes, fans and electrical products to local trades and to the public, via its showrooms in Maroochydore and Nambour.

The Nambour showroom is on the corner of Arundell Avenue and Mill Lane, and will celebrate its fourth anniversary in February 2014. Manager Erwin Schlomm, who has been with the company for 14 years and oversaw the Maroochydore store for eight of those, says the brand is known for its huge range and superior service.

“Haymans has been a Coast institution for more than 35 years, and is a household name in relation to lighting supplies,” he tells MWP. And with an ever-growing range of f ttings, bulbs and energy-eff cient options on the market, it’s more important than ever that customers can pop into their local store and receive specialised advice.

“We have the latest in LED lighting, dimming controls and energy-eff cient choices, and a huge range of replacement lamps as well,” he says.

Garry Head, Creig Stewart, Wal Martin & Erwin Schlomm “More importantly, we have all the experience to know which products are right for your home.”

That experience has recently increased with the addition of Creig Stewart to the team.

For three decades Stewart has been supplying locals with new lightbulbs and f xtures from his Nambour Lighting store on Howard continued over >>

“Creig has been in the lighting business for more than 30 years, and has many local clients who enjoy his service and expertise,” Schlomm says. “All his experience and product knowledge is now part of the Haymans team, and we want those clients to know they can f nd Creig here – he even has the same phone number.”

ARE YOU PROTECTED? The summer storm season is upon us, so if you haven’t installed electrical surge protectors in your home, now is the time to do so. Surge protectors are designed to protect your television, computer and other devices from power surges, and in the event your power supply is affected by a big electrical storm they can prevent thousands of dollars of damage.

Erwin Schlomm from Haymans Nambour says choosing the right surge protector depends on your needs.

“First of all, we need to look at what you’re trying to protect – for example, are you wanting to protect computers or other electrical appliances, or motors?” he says. “There are different levels of filtration, so when we know exactly what appliances you have we can then determine your needs.

“We then pass the right products on to your electrician, or if you don’t have one we can put you in touch with an electrician for the proper installation.”

Haymans offers a range of lighting solutions to trades and the public

ONLY THE BEST Haymans Electrical and Data Suppliers has long been a trusted lighting supplier for locally based trades, and Schlomm says this has a lot to do with his own suppliers.

“We are lucky enough to work with a wonderful range of suppliers, and have long-standing relationships and arrangements which guarantee that our clients – whether they are trade clients or the general public in the showroom – can get the best products at an affordable price,” he says. “People can rest easy knowing they are only ever buying a reliable, warranty-guaranteed product.”

MAKE/MODEL AUDI SQ5 DETAILS Five-door, five-seat highperformance luxury mid-sized SUV with turbo-charged six-cylinder diesel engine.

TECH STUFF 3-litre, common-rail bi-turbo diesel V6 with sequential turbo-chargers produces 230 kilowatts; 650 Newton metres; eight-speed tiptronic automatic transmission.

SOUNDS DIFFERENT WORDS Peter Atkinson, AAP

O

h Audi, you’ve done it again.

First you gave us the ‘stealth sedan’ – a diesel-engined family car that tricks you into thinking it’s a sporty V8.

Now, you’ve used that same engine to transform its once fairly docile Q5 SUV into a machine of boundless possibilities.

The Audi A6 I tested earlier this year was f tted with a brilliant new twin-turbo diesel V6 engine that not only performs like a petrol V8 but actually sounds like one despite having the thirst of a frugal four-cylinder.

That same engine has been used to create yet another niche machine, the fast-but-frugal SUV, in the form of the new Audi SQ5. It becomes the latest member of Audi’s ever-growing list of sporty ‘S’ models.

It’s not that long ago that the words ‘diesel’ and ‘fast’ were rarely used in the

same sentence. But Audi has transformed diesel technology, stunning the motorsport world with its sophisticated TDI machines.

That technology is manifesting itself in a series of ‘performance diesel’ road-going vehicles – cars with massive power but minuscule thirsts.

The SQ5 is the latest of those with Audi proudly professing it to be the “world’s fastest diesel SUV”. That might sound like Aussie Matt Shirvington’s one-time claim to fame as the ‘world’s fastest white man’ but you get the picture. It’s an off-roader that really goes off when it’s on the road.

Thanks to the amazing output and eff ciency of its three-litre, bi-turbo diesel V6, the SQ5 offers a stunning 230 kilowatts and, most signif cantly, 650 Newton metres of thrust, considerably more power than a vehicle of this

relatively modest size could ever need.

What does that mean? Well, from rest, it will reach the speed limit in just 5.1 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h. That makes it faster than a Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5M and Mercedes-Benz ML63 – German machines that previously set the benchmark in this souped-up off-roader category. Yet the Audi will produce that performance while consuming just 6.8 litres per 100km, a thirst more in keeping with a thrifty four-cylinder hatch.

That little statistic saves you money Continued over >

FEATURES Five-star safety rating; sports suspension, multi-media interface with sat nav, premium audio; leather sports seats with heating, electronic adjustment and memory function, electric mirrors and windows; reversing camera, alloy sports wheels; automatic headlights and wipers.

PERFORMANCE 0-100km/h in 5.1 seconds; top speed 250km/h.

THIRST 6.8L/100km (combined official figure).

VERDICT Sensible efficiency with insane performance.

BOTTOM LINE From $89,400 (plus onroad costs).

What is the view from

<from previous page in more ways than one. As well as meaning fewer visits to the fuel station, it helps the SQ5 sneak in below the fuel-eff ciency threshold for the Federal Government’s luxury car tax, so you’ll avoid sending several thousand dollars to Mr Hockey and his colleagues. Like the A6, it features Audi’s ‘sound actuator’, a kind of megaphone in the exhaust system that masks the diesel’s clattery engine note with the soundtrack of a petrol V8.

That is backed up by handling to match its punchy acceleration, with a sophisticated suspension and dynamic stability system helping the SQ5 to belie its high-riding stance. It turns, stops and changes direction with the poise of a sports car. The eight-speed tiptronic transmission is smooth and intuitive, with gearshift paddles to allow the driver maximum input.

The SQ5 might surprise you in other ways, too. Thanks to its quattro all-wheel-drive system, it will head off road with surprising dexterity, though its stiffened S sport suspension, which lowers the body by 30 millimetres, might compromise ground clearance

a bit. Still, the SQ5 manages to be a sports car, an economy car and an off-roader in the one rather handsome package.

This amount of versatility doesn’t come cheap. But at a tick under $90,000, it’s considerably cheaper than those high-performance SUVs mentioned above, by as much as $50,000 in some cases.

You’ll pay less for Jeep’s Grand Cherokee SRT8, which is almost as quick, but can’t come within cooee of the Audi’s fuel eff ciency. And the SQ5’s cousin, Volkswagen’s Touareg R, offers a high-performance diesel variant using the same V8 turbo-diesel as found in the Cayenne diesel. But it costs well over $100,000.

All of which gives the SQ5 a unique, albeit specialised, place in the market. The Audi folk obviously see quite some potential here so they’ve loaded up a special ‘launch edition’ of the SQ5 (at a $14,000 premium), with massive alloy wheels, digital radio receiver, dynamic steering system and premium Bang & Olufsen audio to bolster what’s already a good-value proposition. Our test machine – one

of the 60 launch edition models – also came with high-beam assist, adaptive headlights, front and rear seat heating and carbon-f bre trim inlays, all in addition to the standard fare on the SQ5.

The standard SQ5 enjoys a chunky f at-bottomed sports steering wheel, tyre pressure monitors, electric memory seats for driver and passenger, electric mirrors also with memory function, reversing camera and Audi’s very good MMI (Multi-Media Interface) cabin management system, including high-end navigation system.

Not everything is perfect in the SQ5. Its cargo compartment is suff cient but frustratingly, didn’t f t a set of golf clubs without a bit of coaxing. A sliding luggage rail system, which presumably is meant to make storing your items easier, in fact did the opposite.

Rear-seat legroom, likewise, is possibly a little tight for families with full-grown children, although head and shoulder room is impressive.

Still, these are relatively minor grumbles in a car that otherwise impressed in almost every way.

It’s not likely to become a volume seller by any stretch.

But this pert-looking little German f recracker has carved out quite a niche for itself – if there exists a niche for high-performance, diesel-engined, mid-sized prestige SUVs.

Newly-retired Formula One driver Mark Webber says he’ll contest his first Bathurst 12-hour endurance race in 2015, sharing his Porsche with Australian movie star Eric Bana.

It is likely 37-year-old Webber will drive a Porsche 911 GT3 at the sportscar endurance event.

Bana, best known for his roles in Chopper, Black Hawk Down, Hulk, Munich and Troy, is a renowned car enthusiast and has previously raced the Bathurst 12-hour as well as the Targa Tasmania rallies and the Porsche GT3 challenge.

Webber quit Formula One after 12 seasons in the category to switch to sports car racing with German manufacturer Porsche.

He will link up with his new team in January and is yet to reveal his 2014 schedule.

May is using the classic toy to build a motorbike and sidecar to race the Isle of Man TT circuit in Britain for a new show.

In the episode of his Toy Stories series, called ‘The Motorcyle Diaries’, May gets to grips with a construction kit to try to build a vehicle capable of carrying him and his co-star Oz Clarke around the 60-kilometre course.

The pair, who have previously teamed up on a series of shows about wine, used 15,000 pieces of Meccano during the show.

* Driveaway price of $29,990 is available on Model: ISF 2.8 SWB (as shown), including free standard tray and taillights (but no other added options). Limited time only whilst stock lasts. Order may be extended, modified or withdrawn at any time. ^ Whichever comes first.

Looking forward, looking back The Christmas spirit is everywhere at the moment, including in the local property market. Gordon Macdonald from Jason Andrew Group talks MPP through what the festive season means for buyers and sellers.

E

Of course, the historical information is always interesting anyway, although for buyers and sellers in today’s market it’s really of little use, apart from as part of the overall picture to develop an idea of fair market value. But property, as with every commodity, is only truly worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. And for such an emotional purchase, that can vary from week to week and in some cases, even day to day.

But year to year, one dynamic that is consistently true in the property market is the shift in sentiment for both buyers and sellers that occurs as the year draws

to a close. As human beings, we usually prefer neat endings and for those active in the market, concluding a sale before Christmas is often eminently desirable.

Even when settlement will not occur until well into the new year, being able to break for the holidays with the peace of mind that contracts have been exchanged has value. Buyers will often pay a little bit more. Sellers will often accept a little bit less. Both parties are more likely to meet in the middle, for the benef t of all.

Of course, there’s a f ip side to this dynamic. When the new year comes, it’s a fresh start and for

many players in the property game that means that once again, there’s all the time in world. Some sellers will be more inclined to hold out for more, some buyers will prefer to wait for the next property to come along rather than pay a premium. Of course, the avalanche of new stock that’s expected in early 2014 will only further alter the dynamic.

Property, like many other aspects of our lives, is often inf uenced by the change of seasons. And for buyers and sellers, the Christmas spirit only adds to the current litany of reasons to f nalise a transaction now.

LIS JUS TE T D

very new year begins with a flurry of media reports with expert predictions of how the property market is likely to perform. Generally, they’re full of optimism.

At the end of every year, we see a corresponding litany of “property market – the year in review” reports.

Rarely though do we see any matching up of the rosy predictions with the reality of what transpired.

The reason is simple – no one has ever been able to accurately predict what is going to happen with real estate. And in fact, the so-called expert commentators get it wrong more often than they get it right.

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 The moon’s in your sign for most of the weekend, which favours being practical and productive. Getting involved in activities in your local community will give you a buoyant lift.

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 It’s time to temporarily jump off the Gemini treadmill and get some quality R & R this weekend, as the moon moves through your privacy zone. Solitude is soul food for you at the moment.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 Don’t be tempted to cut corners this weekend.

If you do it will backfire.

A thorough approach will get you where you want to go much quicker, and with less dramas.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 Many lions are preoccupied with work but don’t pour all your energy into professional projects at the expense of your home life. Family members won’t like being neglected.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 Focus on your fabulous aspirations for the future Virgo. Some family and friends won’t be happy with your goals, but you must formulate them to suit yourself – not others.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Libra – the more proactive you are about making changes in your life, the more positive feedback you’ll receive from loved ones. Continue to be careful with cash and credit.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Examine your behaviour Scorpio – especially when it comes to close relationships.

Are you being too rigid in your approach? A more cooperative attitude will lead to long-lasting results.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 With Venus in your cash zone, money matters are on your mind but resist the urge for a spontaneous spending spree this weekend. Pluto encourages you to show some restraint.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 Being business-like is fine at work – but friends won’t appreciate a bossy approach this weekend. And resist the urge to criticise a child or teenager – no matter how “constructive” it is.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 The moon’s moving through your domestic zone so – even though you’re preoccupied with professional projects or work worries – it’s time to give home some TLC.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 There’s a fine line between communicating your creative ideas with plenty of Piscean passion – and being completely misunderstood.

So choose your words extra carefully this weekend.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

Okay, I know I have been a tad naughty of late by taking off to Sumatra to score epic waves to rub into my friends’ faces. It was a little cruel. However, in my defence I had missed a few good swells this year.

Now, here’s the thing. Santa, could you for God’s sake send us some solid decent ground swell with two-knot offshore winds maybe say three to f ve foot? This week, the onshore crap that has been thrown at us for the past few months is doing my head in. Oh, and Santa, don’t forget the dash of sunshine with that ground swell. This weekend? No waves kids – small and onshore is the call. Watch the Pipe Masters instead! Now, hop on to the Beach Beat Facebook site and get involved with winning a brand-new Hypto Krypto with gear valued at $1250!

FISHING REPORT

with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Quality whiting are on the night high tides with yabbies best around Goat Island.

Flathead will be taking live whiting around the snags at Cotton Tree. Estuary cod and jew are around the bridge pylons. Find mud crabs up in Eudlo and Petrie creeks.

SURF: Catch dart on pippies along North Shore with mullet f llet for f athead right in Maroochy and Mooloolaba bar areas. Look for tailor just after dark at Maroochy Beach using pillies. Sand whiting will be in front of Maroochy and Alex life saving clubs.

OFFSHORE: Sweetlip and parrot will be at Murphy’s with squid and cut baits best. Catch mackerel at Point Cartwright early mornings. Mixed reef f sh will be on the Barwon Banks using pillies, squid and soft plastics. There will be plenty of action for billf sh along the 50-metre line.

FRESHWATER: The upper reaches of the Mooloolaba River will return bass on surface poppers and f oated baits. Fly f shermen are having terrif c successes in all impoundments, especially on coloured shiny f ies.
