s we approach the midway point in the month of January, it seems to me that 2014 is whipping by as quickly as 2013 did.

If you’re already feeling like there are not enough hours in the day, take heart from the subject of this week’s cover story, Graeme Sait is a busy man. In fact, you’ve probably never even heard of this Sunshine Coast local, and that may be because he’s working so hard to change the world that he he’s hard to pin down for an interview. But Sam Walker has managed to do just that. She has been chatting to a man who is not only running a hugely successful business, but he’s improving the world’s food bowls in the process. Graeme’s company, called Nutri-Tech Solutions, exports products to dozens of countries and teaches companies and individuals about the relationship between

] the health of the soil, in fact the health of the planet, with the wellbeing of the earth’s population. His is an incredible business and personal success story.

There’s a bit of a theme developing this week in MWP. Over in My Property Preview, we have some tips from celebrity landscaper Jamie Durie. If you want a productive vegie patch that’s also aesthetically appealing, page 44 is a great place to start.

Between the baking heat and the rain you might not be inspired to spend too much time getting your hands in the dirt. I reckon you might think differently after this week’s issue.

But if you’re more of a shopper than a gardener, we have you covered. There’s plenty of shopping to be had in our style pages, starting on page 27, and we have six pages of home style to get you in the interior decorating mood. That starts on page 33.

My Weekly Preview’s Sam Walker gets her hands dirty with Graeme Sait, the Yandina local whose very personal story is now inspiring global change.

G

raeme Sait is on a mission. The Yandina businessman, an internationally recognised expert in sustainable agriculture practices, has set out to change the face of farming across the globe.

It’s no mean feat, but if anyone is up for the challenge it is this fast-talking, softly spoken man, who is so passionate about his job.

Sait is the CEO and co-founder of Nutri-Tech Solutions, a Coast business leading the world in biological farming.

What began with three people 20 years ago has grown into a major operation with 40 employees as well as sub contractors.

About 15 years ago Nutri-Tech began to export its products, and it operates in 46 countries with manufacturing plants in Holland and South Africa.

Impressively, it has also trained in excess of 20,000 farmers around the globe.

“This is a passion that was instigated by a life-changing event when my daughter was hit by a car outside the school at Eumundi,” Sait says.

“And I sort of promised if she survived I’d do something worthwhile, and the day she came out of the coma was the day we decided to do this whole story with Nutri-Tech.”

In basic terms, Sait and his team are involved in the links between soil health, human health and ultimately, planetary health.

“The plague of degenerative illness that is sort of besetting most of society is linked very closely to degenerative soils and that is a very big story,” he says.

His team of agronomists do soil and leaf tests globally and locally and work with farmers to optimise the health and nutrient value of soil.

Sait believes the key to everything is humus – organic matter in the soil.

“When you build humus in the soil … you’re literally intervening in the carbon cycle and sequestering CO2 that would have been in the atmosphere,” he says.

“Because you can’t make more carbon, you’ve only got what cycles between plants, the soil and the atmosphere.”

He says humus increases the health of the soil and healthy soil retains more water and carbon, has greater nutrient value, and needs fewer chemicals.

“We’ve lost two thirds of our humus since the advent of extractive agriculture,” he tells MWP. “The f gures are 476 gigatons – that’s 476 billion tonnes – of CO2 that used to be in

the soil [which] is now in the atmosphere.”

Despite his passion, Sait’s business success didn’t happen overnight. It’s taken two decades to become a global leader and there have been challenges along the way. Sait says it can take up to two years to get through red tape that enables exporting.

But Nutri-Tech Solutions offers a lot of free training and Sait believes you reap what you sow and the more you give, the more you receive.

Last year he was a speaker at TEDxNoosa and that 20-minute talk has generated global interest and opened many more doors for him.

World speaker – inspiring change

Soil was just an interest for Sait, who has degrees in psychology and sociology, until tragedy changed the course of his life and led to the establishment of a global enterprise.

Today, he is in demand as a speaker and consultant around the globe. January is already hectic with conferences in Canada, Massachusetts, Los Angeles, Brazil and Mexico, and meetings with Mexico’s agriculture minister.

It’s a gruelling schedule and the year ahead is booking up fast.

Last year he met with the Los Angeles mayor and those meetings have inspired a number of legislative changes, which include allowing urban gardens and plans to dig up some of the concrete banks along the river to plant gardens.

Sait’s four-day advanced training certif cate in sustainable agriculture is in demand around the globe and with its holistic approach, which also addresses human health, he says it seems to inspire change.

And for Sait change is a matter of urgency.

Sitting in the conference room of his humble off ce building at Yandina, with an air-conditioner rattling in the background, Sait barely pauses to take a breath as he talks about the science that predicts we have fewer than f ve years to turn around the effects of climate change and prevent the world heating to levels humans cannot survive.

It sounds dramatic but Sait references research from the world’s leading climate change scientists and says it is not the time to have our heads in the sand.

The Sunshine Coast and other parts of Queensland have just sweltered through record high temperatures, while North America is

M Y W EEK LY PREVIEW.C OM .A U

experiencing extreme low temperatures. t Everywhere Sait travels he is hearing about extreme weather conditions.

He believes change begins with the farmers, who have so much land and therefore the potential to add the highest amounts of humus and sequester the most carbon storage.

“I personally believe that we are at the dawn of the golden era of agriculture,” he says.

There is a already a growth in farmers’ markets and increasing demand from savvy consumers who want to know where their food comes from, how it is produced and what is in it.

“We need to look after the family farm and we need to look after the family farmer because that’s our future.”

Making a difference

It’s not every day you meet a man determined to make such a difference to the world.

It might sound far-fetched and a little pie in the sky but Sait claims his approach is simple, affordable, achievable and effective – if only he can get everyone on board.

That dream came a step closer last year when the world’s biggest food producer came calling on his services.

“The most recent and probably the biggest thing that’s happened with Nutri-Tech is the world’s largest fruit and vegetable producers, a massive company called the DOLE Corporation, have recently committed to converting to biological agriculture and they have decided to become our distributors in the US.” Sait has been training their scientists and farm managers for the past year and says Walmart, their largest supplier, is driving the change with demands for produce with fewer chemicals.

“So this is huge. These are the world’s largest food producers who are now going down this

“I personally believe that we are at the dawn of the golden era of agriculture,” he says.

route, realising that it’s time for a change.”

Sait has made more inroads to sustainable farming practices overseas than in Australia and says South Africa is the world leader in this approach.

“I’ve been over there twice a year for many years doing the four-day course. It really has become mainstream over there.”

South Africa’s success stories include ncludee the southern hemisphere’s largest tomato ato gr grower rower – an organisation called ZZ2. Its 90,000-hectare 0,000-hec e tare farm is committed to biological practices. acticees.

A role for everyone

“Every single person needs to be involved here.”

For information about Nutri-Tech Solutions visit nutri-tech.com.au.

While farmers have an important role to play Sait says everyone has a responsibility to take part.

He recommends growing your own vegetables but says the biggest problem for home gardeners is not knowing how to do it and how to have healthy soil.

Nutri-Tech Solutions has a free f ve-step program you can download and follow.

Sait is also calling on councils to introduce organic waste collection and says everyone should be putting pressure on local governments to introduce services.

From an individual perspective he says composting needs to become a mantra for everyone. Composting stores the carbon that was present in the organic matter in the soil, rather than enabling it to oxygenise and return to the atmosphere.

“Every single person needs to be involved here.”

And it is possible. He cites San Francisco’s zero waste policy, where the city has introduced organic waste collection and big penalties

for non-compliance. “That’s what you have to do,” Sait tells MWP. “There’s no time to pussy foot around. You have to get hard-line with this because it’s our very future on the line sort of thing.”

For Sait the educational journey continues as he packs the year ahead with as many conferences and workshops as he can f t in, and despite the gruelling schedule he is determined to spread the message sag a e and increase biological farming acro across osss the globe.

Find out why Anxiety, Nervousness, and Panic Attacks happen to you and how to overcome it!

Do you wake in the morning feeling anxious for no apparent reason? Do you f nd yourself with panic overwhelming you through the day when nothing is planned? You might feel nervous about going to work or when the phone rings, when there’s nothing to be worried about.

This can go on for months or years, and will cause debilitating emotions, reducing your ability to work, and cause relationship problems at home.

There are a number of underlying causes that contribute to symptoms including anxiety, nervousness, depression, or lack of excitement and motivation for life. Stress feels overwhelming, and little upsets cause feelings of anger. Palpitations, irritable bowel syndrome, foggy brain and poor concentration can also occur.

Even though it seems psychological, and you may have issues in your life contributing to it, there are two very common physical problems that cause your symptoms to feel more extreme than they should feel. These affect the nervous system, causing your f ght/ f ight response to over-react. A malicious infection has been found to be a contributing factor in up to 90% of tested patients. It’s

picked up from overseas, or having contact with someone who has travelled which is only detected in specialised testing.

NOOSA BACK IN BUSINESS

N

This infection releases a toxin affecting the nervous system physically and mentally. It’s not often been associated with mental health, though studies show its impact on the brain.

It’s passed on very easily, so more than one person in a household may suffer from similar symptoms. You will also f nd some people can carry this infection with no symptoms whatsoever, as it seems to act when there are other health or stress related problems.

Often we’re able to correlate the f rst sign of symptoms, coinciding with a stomach bug causing diarrhoea or vomiting. It’s passed on quite easily through schools, day care centres, or places of work.

It’s quite easy to treat, when done properly, and most symptoms are relieved as soon as the infection has been eradicated. Infections are just one part of a 7 step process for permanently treating anxiety and other mental health conditions. These steps have been proven with testing to improve the brain function immeasurably, without the help of medication.

To f nd out more, call the centre and arrange a free half hour consultation, or view the free 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.

Less time in queues, more time on rides!

oosa Council is back in business.

The de-amalgamation process has been f nalised and the off cial split from the Sunshine Coast Council took effect on January 1.

The new mayor Noel Playford refused to give MWP any comment on the landmark council meeting or plans for the future except to say all resolutions on the f rst council agenda, held last Thursday, were endorsed.

One of those resolutions involved former Noosa and Sunshine Coast mayor Bob Abbot being elected as deputy mayor.

While the f rst meeting was an important milestone for the newly formed council, Abbot says it covered a range of general things, including re-introducing the annual kerbside pick-up and signing off on the budget without raising rates.

“I think it was just about getting settled,” he says.

The new council also voted to remove a developer’s subsidy and to restrict operation of Teewah

Noosa’s deputy mayor Bob Abbot Airstrip for emergency landings and ultralight aircraft.

Now it is up and running he says they can focus on moving forward and rebuilding.

“Reconstruction of the organisation is the initial thing.”

The last candidates for the role of CEO are being interviewed this week and Abbot expects the council to have someone in the position by the middle of February.

Hospital in the Home The Sunshine Coast has access to Hospital in the Home as a result of a $28 million State Government funding increase to the service.

The program was expanded across Queensland from January 1.

The pilot program will be delivered by Blue Care and Silver Chain in Queensland’s f rst community-based public-private partnership.

“Internationally it has proven to be a viable alternative to hospital admission, providing equal or better patient outcomes and better service delivery,” health minister Lawrence Springborg says.

Expanding the program means patients can receive acute care by health professionals from the comfort of their home, instead of being admitted to hospital.

Overseas visitors to Queensland have been urged to download a new smartphone app, to help them stay safe at the beach during the holiday period.

Acting Minister for Multicultural Affairs Steve Dickson says the app provides real-time Queensland beach and water safety messages in 72 languages. “For many visitors, swimming in choppy Queensland surf can be a new, but potentially dangerous, experience,” he says.

“The Beachsafe app, which lets users obtain beach safety information and surf conditions on their phone, supports the Queensland Government’s On the Same Wave surf safety initiative with Surf Life Saving Queensland for migrants.” The Beachsafe app is available for free for IOS and Android and can be downloaded from iTunes and Google Play.

JELLIES ARE A HIGHLIGHT

U

nderWater World SEA LIFE unveiled its new jelly f sh exhibit just before Christmas, and MWP was lucky enough to join the crowd that was there to experience the off cial unveiling.

In keeping with the local attraction’s ethos of not just entertaining but also educating, the new exhibit houses a range of common and rare jelly f sh. The hope is that the new zone will further educate visitors and the public on the ecological signif cance of jelly f sh and the need for more research and conservation.

The multimillion-dollar refurbishment includes not just the Jelly Fish Kingdom zone – where visitors can check out a variety of jelly f sh species including upside-down jellies, moon jellies, blue blubbers and sea nettles – but also f nding a new home in Mooloolaba are stunning sea horses, brightly coloured corals, leaf scorpion f sh and razor f sh.

The completion of the refurbishment comes on the back of the $4 million upgrade of the ocean tank and walk-through zone, always a favourite with visitors.

James Thomas, head of Queensland attractions at Merlin Entertainments, says the Sunshine Coast attraction is now on a par with the world’s best aquariums. “UnderWater World SEA LIFE today

The $4 million upgrade puts UnderWater World on par with the world’s best aquariums

joins a family of 43 SEA LIFE aquariums throughout the world, owned and operated by Merlin Entertainments Group, giving the Sunshine Coast attraction access to information, research and animal experts from SEA LIFE aquariums across Australia,” he says.

The latest upgrades are major improvements for the attraction, which has been a Coast institution for 24 years.

EXPLORE OUR WALKING TRAILS My Weekly Preview hit the Coast’s walking trails and discovered a variety of paths, tracks, boardwalks and bush trails to pound along.

From beach beats to rainforest trails and mountain peaks – there’s something for the whole family to enjoy.

Point Cartwright We started with a favourite – Point Cartwright Reserve at Buddina. This walk has the best of everything – a boardwalk with ocean views or a stroll along the beach. At low tide it takes you around the base of the cliffs where you can explore rock pools, or you can go through the park to the lighthouse and take in hinterland views. Then head along the river and f nish your walk with a barbecue at La Balsa Park.

Buderim Forest Park

For something a bit more strenuous with the added bonus of 360-degree views of the Sunshine Coast you can tackle Mount Coolum. The walk will take you through diverse plant life and up the side of this volcanic remnant. It’s steep in places but you’ll be rewarded with million-dollar views.

It’s a great way to start the day.

National parks The region is blessed with a number of national parks offering diverse f ora and fauna and the walks through these areas are a wonderful way to explore the region.

You can check out the magnif cent scenery and try to spot a koala at Noosa National Park, explore the falls at Kondalilla National Park, head up river through the Mooloolah River National Park or check out the bush scenes in the Glass House Mountains National Park.

More walking trails to explore • Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve • Ewen Maddock Dam • Maroochy Wetlands Sanctuary, Bli Bli • Glass House Mountains Lookout track • Obi Obi Boardwalk, Maleny

Tips for walking • Wear sunscreen and a hat • Take water with you • Wear appropriate shoes • If bushwalking, tell someone where you are going and when you will be back • Beware of snakes • Have fun

HOT13090

If you are not in a beachy mood, Buderim Forest Park is a 45-hectare secluded oasis, just a kilometre from the heart of Buderim. Walking through the rainforest trees, along the creek and taking in the waterfall feels like it is a world away from the busy beaches.

You can enter via Harry’s Lane, or from Quorn Close. The Quorn Close entry does not have wheelchair or disability access.

DEVICES KILL SMALL TALK

B

enjamin Peterson isn’t one for small talk. While queuing at the bank, the 21-year-old pretended to be texting to avoid a conversation with the man behind him.

It didn’t work. After 15 minutes of awkward silence, the man f nally and asked, “So, have you had the new Wendy’s pretzel burger yet?”

Anyone who’s discussed the weather at a party knows making small talk isn’t always easy.

Conversing with strangers, acquaintances or relatives you rarely see can be uncomfortable, even painful.

As Peterson and many others have discovered, the explosion of digital devices has given us tools to avoid engaging with others. But small talk is a big deal when it comes to personal and professional success.

As trivial as topics such as the weather and the traff c may seem, they are necessary rungs on a ladder of more meaningful conversation.

“Talking about things that are

not intensely personal is the foundation of any real relationship,” says matchmaker Sheila Delaney.

Diane Windingland, author or Small Talk, Big Results, says a simple conversation can lead to new connections, which can lead to new business or romantic opportunities.

She says holidays are a great time to connect with people because everyone is more relaxed.

However, our increasing reliance on mobiles, tablets and e-readers is cutting into opportunities for small talk. As a result, experts say, many of us – especially young people – are becoming less adept at it.

“Because we’ve become so desensitised with electronics, people have lost the art of conversation,” says Barb Churchill, a life coach.

“This generation hasn’t been trained how to speak in more than 140 characters.”

Peterson admits his generation is terrible at small talk, in part because social media f lls the need for meaningless conversation.

Ord Minnett Buderim – Sunshine Coast

Does your current f nancial adviser generate extra income from shares you already own?

“If someone were riding in the elevator, and I were to get on, I can almost guarantee that if the person is under 30, a cellphone will be pulled out,” he says.

“Even the most introverted people can master the art of small talk,” says Susanne Jones, an associate professor of communication studies at the University of Minnesota.

“It’s a challenge, but people should not underestimate the power of small talk.”

There are many ways you can improve your small-talk skills. Be

yourself, be genuine, focus on others and not you, and don’t put so much pressure on yourself, experts say.

Some suggest it’s even worth practising small talk.

ICU nurse and partygoer Nicole Marshall, 37, says she “could probably sweet-talk the president of the United States”.

“Small talk is like speed dating,” she says. “ You get to f nd out a quick little snippet about people in a short amount of time. Small talk opens the door for relationships and often leads to something great, like a new friend.”

Scientists feel the heat with latest discoveries

WATER BABIES

A

family of baby crocodiles has made a splash at a public pool in Queensland, surprising swimmers trying to escape the heat.

It appears the freshies were stolen from their nest and thrown over the fence at the pool in an apparent prank.

A lap swimmer at the Mount Isa Aquatics pool, in north-west Queensland, alerted management when he saw something swimming near him, just after 10am on Sunday.

Pool director Brian Rodriquez says management then found f ve baby crocs in the pool, and another four around the facility.

50%

Fortunately their parents were nowhere in sight. If they were, swimmers probably wouldn’t have seen the funny side to the apparent prank.

“Everyone thought it was pretty funny actually,” Rodriquez says. “It would have been pretty funny for them to watch me trying to catch them … some of them were pretty fast.”

The nine baby freshwater crocodiles were three to four weeks old and between 25 and 30 centimetres long.

A licensed reptile handler was called in to release the crocs back into the wild.

Geologists have reported insights into super-volcanoes, the brooding, enigmatic giants of Earth’s crust whose eruptions are as catastrophic as they are rare.

The buoyancy of molten rock, or magma, is the key to why these monsters blow their stack, according to the journal Nature Geoscience.

Super-volcanoes include the US’s Yellowstone, which spewed out more than 1000 cubic kilometres of ash and rock when it last erupted about 600,000 years ago. Events of this kind can chill the planet’s surface by up to 10 degrees for more than a decade due to ash ref ecting sunlight.

The biggest volcanic eruption of the last quarter-century was Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991, which discharged a relatively puny 10 cubic kilometres.

A team from Switzerland, France and Britain built a computer model of volcanic activity, basing the age of eruptions on a tell-tale mineral, zircon, found in volcanic rocks.

Lava after a volcanic eruption Separately, a team from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH) studied the density of molten rock below super-volcanoes.

“Until now nobody has measured the density of the magma present in the magma chambers of supervolcanoes,” says ETH’s Wim Falfait.

Relatively small in volume, the magma chamber in conventional volcanoes is replenished regularly by bursts of upwelling magma, which is expelled in moderate amounts when the pressure becomes too much. But in super-volcanoes, the magma chamber is too big to be pressurised by magma injections alone. In these leviathans, a buoyant kind of magma steadily accumulates in the chamber.

NEW DEVELOPMENT

Building blocks It’s only January, but after a strong 2013 the Coast’s leading developers are already offering a range of new projects that will tempt local buyers.

Stockland’s bright future

RGD Property Group’s Broadwater Apartments

Big results for RGD After a strong 2013, leading local developer RGD Property Group is preparing for a big year ahead.

RGD Property Group’s sales manager, Gail Hunter, reported an extremely busy year for the developer, with completion of two of its waterfront projects at Birtinya at Oceanside.

“Investors are f ocking back to the property market,” Hunter says. “By Christmas we had seen 106 settled sales between our Island Waters and Broadwater waterfront projects at Birtinya at Oceanside, with another 30 apartments in Broadwater under contract and settling early 2014.”

The opening of the Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital in November and construction of the $2 billion public hospital has meant an inf ux of workers into Birtinya who are in need of accommodation.

NEWS & VIEWS

A snapshot of who’s doing what in the industry FRESH FACES AT WOOMBYE REAL ESTATE Mike Burns from Elders Palmwoods has taken on a new hinterland venture.

A

fter 11 years selling real estate in Palmwoods, local Elders principal Mike Burns is expanding his reach to Woombye.

Burns has taken over Woombye Real Estate from former owner Les Hadlow, who is retiring after more than 30 years in real estate. Burns says while he was originally interested in acquiring the off ce’s rent roll, after spending a few days in Woombye he saw an opportunity to create a new base.

“Woombye has a really nice villagey feel – it’s a great little town,” he says. “The property manager in place was a really hard worker, and I saw a need to continue servicing those clients.”

Burns says after 11 years selling real estate in the hinterland, he felt Woombye – the area’s other “little niche town” – was an ideal spot to extend the personalised, small-town service his team prides itself on.

“The real estate game is a funny one – it’s not

The Woombye Real Estate team: Carissa Davy, Jamie Jacobs, Mike Burns, Gary Blake & Virginia Brown

It’s an extension of the service we offer in Palmwoods, and a chance to spread our wings a bit

ILKLEY 33 Lucida Place Flawless craftsmanship greets you upon entering this exquisite lifestyle property; a secluded masterpiece set over 11 acres. This impressively designed home boasts a gourmet granite kitchen, lavish spa bathroom, plush carpets, bedrooms with built-ins and a luxury parents retreat. Innovative architecture fuses indoor living seamlessly with premier alfresco entertaining areas, which include an outdoor kitchen with bar and saltwater pool and gazebo. A detached studio offers immense potential for dual living. The property offers fenced horse paddocks, a large self fed dam, a four bay shed and is swathed by scenic gardens and valley vistas, offering a true escape from the everyday.

really about selling property, but building relationships,” he says. “I walk down the street in Woombye – and I know a lot of people in Woombye, I’ve sold a lot of property here over the years – but every day someone new comes up and shakes my hand, and says congratulations.

“And that’s a real buzz. We’ve also had a lot of the local businesses come in and welcome us on board.”

Burns says while installing a good coffee machine in the Woombye Real Estate off ce was his f rst priority, he is now focussed on implementing the systems and procedures that have made Elders Palmwoods a success.

“It’s just an extension of what we do here in Palmwoods, a chance to spread our wings a bit,” he says. “I’m now working on building a great team.

“If you’ve got a good team around you who enjoy what they’re doing, they’ll do it well,” says Burns.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 20 Saturday is your best day, as you play sport; express yourself creatively, or have fun with a special child in your life. Sunday is good for fixing things around your home.

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 Don’t believe everything a child, teenager or friend tells you this weekend.

It doesn’t mean they are intentionally lying, but you may only be getting half the truth.

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 Confusion is likely for some twins, concerning a work issue or a family matter. Use the time this weekend to step back and view the situation from a wider angle and a fresher perspective.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 Don’t worry if others seem distant, disillusioned or over-critical this weekend. With Venus in retrograde mode until February 1, relationships are in a state of flux.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 Saturday is a super day to tackle personal projects that you are passionate about. Don’t expect much input from others though – they have their own issues to deal with.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 When communicating with others this weekend, get the facts straight. Otherwise you could make an assumption that upsets a loved one. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to double-check.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Mars gives you a confidence boost. Your motto is from birthday great AA Milne: “You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 With Saturn in your sign, you’re facing some challenges. Don’t stress!

Be inspired by Dolly Parton: “If you want to see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Sagittarians often attract good fortune from far away.

If you nurture your contacts, you’ll reap the rewards in the future. But don’t promise more than you are prepared to deliver.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 Clear communication is the secret to a good weekend.

If you are too business-like with loved ones, they may be offended. So strive to separate your personal and professional lives.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 Slow down Aquarius! The sun, Pluto and retrograde Venus are all visiting your reflection zone so it’s time to reminisce about the past, ponder the present, and contemplate the future.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 Close relationships will be complicated, and it will be easy to misinterpret someone’s words or actions.

Just be aware that your perceptions about a situation may be wrong.

SURF REPORT

with MWP’s man in the water

They are calling it Storm Hercules and the swell charts don’t lie. The eye of the storm is larger than the territory of France and the wave period reaches 25 seconds. Sixty-foot-plus waves are pounding Europe so the Billabong XXL Big Wave chargers are no doubt waiting for the window. Early pics are coming through and yep not in a million years would I want to play in that stuff! Throw in a few rogue waves of 80 foot plus and this is serious stuff! Just imagine for a moment a 60 footer (or 18 metres) crashing on your head. For me? Put my head between my legs and kiss my arse goodbye! Crazy stuff, I can’t wait for the video footage! Yew. Now back to reality – if you are keen there does appear to be a bounce in swell but it seems handcuffed to some strong south-east wind. Mooloolaba on the high tide, the points and Maroochydore would all be worth a look.

FISHING REPORT

with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Lure casters are working snags up in Petrie and Coolum creeks returning mangrove jack, bream and f athead. Mud crabs are around Bli Bli Islands and throughout the river systems, especially after rain. Catch whiting on yabbies and worms at Cotton Tree with trevally at Twin Waters.

SURF: Tailor are along Maroochy Beach early mornings using pillies and any shiny lure. A few choppers and bream will be at Pincushion just after dark using white bait and baby blue pilchards. Find f athead and whiting in low-tide gutters along the coast.

OFFSHORE: Catch spotted and Spanish mackeral from Caloundra to Noosa with boats seen from the headlands chasing them each morning when it’s calmest. Mixed reef f sh have been reported from Barwon Banks when conditions allow. Murphy’s and Outer Gneerings are returning the usual species in good numbers.

FRESHWATER: Reports are coming in thick and fast from Borumba with quality catches of golden perch, jew and bass taken on live shrimps, earthworms and deep diving lures that can work down from 15 to 20 feet.

Don’t forget your licence.
