This week...

From the editor It's university graduation season, and, as I write this column, I am only mere hours away from my own.

Finishing a degree is no easy feat, whether you're studying arts or medicine: it takes gumption. I myself have taken five years to complete a three-year Bachelor of Communication, having studied a mix of full-time and part-time whilst juggling work; transferring universities once and deferring study twice.

I honestly thought I'd never make it out the other side, and yet, here I am, serving you lovely people.

That I've managed to finish my degree is just a bonus; it has been my community that has guided me all along and made the hard yards worthwhile.

On that note, the Hunter Region brought us some fabulous stories, this past week. In recongition of National Volunteer Week (8 to 14 May), Newcastle Weekly set out to bring you, our readers, a story that encapsulated the essence of Novocastrians' will to help others. And, boy, did we find it.

We took five with just a few of the 200-odd volunteers who have donated time and physical goods to transform Newcastle's newest women and children's refuge – Trisha's House. This tenacious tale takes front and centre on the cover, this week. Story on page 18.

Airport keeps eye on public transport

N

ewcastle Airport management is “consistently working” with the state government to deliver effective public transport services.

A

After last week’s announcement that it had moved a step closer to international flights, chief executive officer Dr Peter Cock said the airport

aimed to provide a seamless journey for passengers from around the Hunter and Central Coast.

He believed the opening of the Wickham Transport Interchange and the introduction of a new public transport provider would offer further opportunities to “capitalise on”.

“Each day, Newcastle Airport is

• B UIL DIN GN OW 8

•

IST RT

RESSION IMP

serviced by more public buses than aircraft,” he said.

“The buses connect our passengers to Newcastle, Nelson Bay, East Maitland, Stockton, Lemon Tree Passage, and Raymond Terrace.

“However, we are consistently working with the state government to provide public transport services that work for passengers and work in with the flight schedules.”

Currently, the airport is serviced by two public bus companies - Port Stephens Coaches, which operates up to 11 times a day, and Hunter Valley Buses.

However, passengers planning on using the Newcastle Buses & Ferries network are looking at multiple modes of transport, including buses, trains and the Stockton ferry, depending on where you live.

Despite this, Dr Cock said he would lobby airlines to “provide air services our region deserves”, particularly with international flights on the radar.

Dr Cock added he was excited about work getting underway on the construction of internal border processing areas.

He said, once completed, it would fulfil the airport’s obligations from an infrastructure perspective.

Cardiff-based firm Kingston Building were chosen to carry out the project, with work set to involve the installation of the necessary security technology, IT technology, passenger equipment and furniture for the border agencies.

The $1.9 million upgrade is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

news Sacred site still under threat A sacred indigenous site in West Wallsend remains under threat by a housing development.

More than 60,000 people have signed an online petition to save the Butterfly Cave, to which Hunter Valley Gardens owner Bill Roche’s housing development will come dangerously close (within 20 metres of the cave) if it proceeds as planned.

This is the smallest buffer zone in the state and would place the site – declared the first Aboriginal women’s place by the NSW government in 2013, in recognition of its significance to Awabakal women – at immediate risk from earthworks and construction.

Yet the NSW Minister for Environment and Heritage, Gabrielle Upton, has ignored community calls to intervene.

The Awabakal people have also lodged an application with the Department of Environment and Heritage requesting the ‘buffer’ zone between the cave and the housing development be

increased to 100 metres.

Awabakal Local Aboriginal Land Council chief executive officer, Rob Russell, called upon Ms Upton to take action.

“This is a watershed moment in the battle to protect not only the Butterfly Cave, but all Aboriginal sites of significance in New South Wales,” Mr Russell said.

“If the NSW government fails to act with influence, there will be a question of their commitment to the Awabakal community, and to Aboriginal heritage in general.”

He noted that people who supported the protection of sacred Aboriginal sites might think twice about buying land that effectively “invades spiritual territory”.

“This land must be left as it is.

We can’t allow it to be violated by incompetence or malice bureaucratic or otherwise.

“It needs to be protected so future generations of women can connect with their history and their ancestors.”

Suicide summit seeks solutions Why don’t we place as much importance on mental health as we do sun safety and swimming lessons?

It’s a question that leaves Newcastle-based child and family counsellor Nicole Neave perplexed.

She says the statistics prove our national approach to mental health is not working.

Australia’s suicide rate has now reached its highest point in a decade, with more than 3000 people taking their own lives each year. That’s about eight per day.

The dire situation prompted Lifeline Australia to host a National Suicide Summit in Sydney last week.

Leaders from a range of backgrounds came together to 10

provide different ways of thinking and offer potential solutions.

Ms Neave believes education from an early age is the key.

“We teach children from the age of three how to brush their teeth, swim and eat at the table, but we’ve got to teach them to look after their mental health as well,” she said.

“There was a massive increase in suicides last year for people under 15.

“For parents of teenagers, and I’m one myself, the biggest problem they will have is worrying about their children’s mental health.”

If you need help in a crisis, phone Lifeline on 13 11 14.

news Funding frenzy for schools Fifty-million dollars will be injected into Hunter schools in an effort to tackle growing maintenance backlogs.

The definitive list of schools to benefit from the state-government funding will be announced next month. However, NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has confirmed the top 10 schools across the state that will receive the biggest share of funding, based on the size of their backlogs.

Rutherford Technology High is second on the list – expected to receive a $1,800,000 slice of the pie.

Cessnock High School is also on the list, with an estimated $1,050,000 in funding, as is Hunter River High School, which is slated to receive $1,000,000.

The broader, $60 million statewide funding announcement brings the total school

maintenance expenditure to $390,000 over the past two years.

The money will be spent on things like roofing, floor coverings, painting, and other maintenance works, which will be undertaken by December 2018.

Newcastle Weekly had previously reported that, around the Hunter Region in particular, school maintenance backlogs were piling up, with Newcastle High School among the worst in the area.

In an effort to chip away at the backlogs, the government has also confirmed the creation of Education Infrastructure NSW – a new, specialist assets unit that will assume responsibility for the school maintenance program.

The most urgent tasks will be prioritised for completion.

news Camp Quality’s Child Life Therapist, Veronica Oakley, with six-year-old patient Sophie Berude.

New toys helping kids with cancer Hospital-themed toys are empowering young patients as they fight cancer.

John Hunter Hospital’s Child Life Therapy Unit received the vital resources this week in its bid to reduce distress and educate seriously ill children.

Camp Quality regional manager

for Newcastle and Northern NSW, Michelle Youngberry, said the toys would give children greater knowledge of their condition.

“These toys will enable them to understand the type of treatments and procedures that they’ll be exposed to,” Ms Youngberry said.

“It will be very useful in explaining

and showing what will occur during their treatment for cancer.”

The supplies were made possible through an ongoing community initiative between The Greater Charitable Foundation, Camp Quality and the John Hunter Children’s Hospital.

Ms Youngberry said it had proved to be an extremely valuable partnership.

“The Greater Charitable Foundation provided the funds for us to purchase the toys,” she said.

“Over the past three years, it has given more than $200,000 to the Child Life Therapy Unit here at John Hunter Hospital.”

The Greater Charitable Foundation’s chief executive officer, Anne Long, said she was proud to support vital services in the region.

Palliative care on the agenda Newcastle will set the scene for a palliative care roundtable in early June.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Scot MacDonald, said there had been community interest in having a roundtable in Newcastle to address the Hunter Region’s needs and solutions for pressing end-of-life care.

The Hunter New England Health District had already organised a roundtable in Tamworth, and NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard backed calls from Mr MacDonald and Hunter MPs to do the same in Newcastle.

About 50,000 people die each year in New South Wales, and this figure is expected to double by 2056.

The date and venue of the roundtable will be confirmed later this month.

news Raising funds for asthma research It gets people active, has a catchy ring to it and raises much-needed funds for asthma research.

Now in its fourth year, the 5k A Day in May initiative is the brainchild of Newcastle business owners Natalie Doolan and KerriAnn and Wade Hooper.

Ms Doolan said the idea was born after the three relatives witnessed the debilitating symptoms of asthma first-hand.

“We always had a personal family connection with it,” she said.

“Asthma is still an issue – one in nine Australians have it and over 400 people die from it here every year.

“Our aim is to help researchers in their efforts to find out how asthma came to be and hopefully find a cure.”

Ms Doolan said the trio had set

a fundraising goal of $10,000 this year. And, she encouraged the local community to get behind the worthy cause.

“It doesn’t have to be running, it can be skiing, skateboarding – anything you like really,” she said.

“You can do it either as an individual or get a group of friends together and make it through a team effort.”

cover story Lending a hand As the saying goes: many hands make light work.

Truer words have never been spoken about Newcastle’s newest refuge for women and children seeking safe haven from domestic violence.

Since last September, no less than 200 people – both representatives of local organisations and private citizens – have collectively volunteered about 2000 hours to transform Trisha’s House (the specific location of which Newcastle Weekly cannot reveal for privacy reasons).

The 10-bedroom refuge, which will accommodate various combinations of up to 20 women and children for 28 days at a time, is nearing completion, with only a few of the bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen to go.

It will be operated and funded by local domestic violence service, Nova for Women and Children.

The idea for the refuge was hatched when a group of people got together in mid-2015 and decided to do something about the lack of emergency accommodation for victims of domestic violence in the Hunter Region.

Respectus was born in early 2016, and the hunt began for a suitable property to make over.

The first working bee at Trisha’s House was held in September last year, with another four or five to follow.

Volunteers came from all over the place, including Bunnings Glendale and Kotara; The Sista Code; the Rotary clubs of Wallsend-Maryland and Newcastle Sunrise, and Newcastle Lions Club, which have been working side-by-side for the first time.

Some stayed an hour; others have clocked upward of one hundred

hours and counting.

Then there was the core group of volunteers, including Nova for Women and Children support workers, which have met on-site every week to put in the hard yards.

There has also been an outpour of physical donations, such as beds, linen, furniture, and paint – even an entire kitchen fit-out – from businesses such as Bunnings, CD Air, NTM Electrical, Euroform, and

countless local tradies.

In recognition of National Volunteer Week (8 to 14 May), project manager Lianne Dean said everyone who’d pitched in was owed a big thank-you.

“It just really gets down to your heart to know that there are some really good people out there who want to help,” she said. “We couldn’t have done it without them.”

No price tag on independence He’s a newly-appointed Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) recipient, but James Bennett is quick to focus on a local charity’s vital role in his day-to-day life.

The Lake Macquarie resident travels across the country nearly every week with his guide dog, Brogan, as part of his role as a disability services auditor.

And, Mr Bennett knows the job would be much more difficult without his trusty sidekick.

“I think I speak for all of the blind and low-vision community as to how important it is – it gives us independence of mobility,” he said.

“If I didn’t have my dog, I’d need to have a volunteer or paid assistant to help me get around.”

Mr Bennett joined the Guide

Dogs NSW/ACT board seven years ago out of gratitude for what the organisation had done for him. He also sits on several advisory committees with the National Disability Services.

His dedication to the blind and low-vision community was recognised with an OAM at Government House last week.

Mr Bennett described the experience as “once in a lifetime”.

sport Jones hat trick inspires Northstars A Zane Jones-inspired Newcastle Northstars stormed back from 4-1 down to defeat Canberra Brave on Sunday.

The Northstars were seemingly down and out in the third period, but Jones’ goal-scoring exploits helped the visitors to eventually tie it up at 5-all.

Newcastle went on to claim a thrilling 6-5 win in a shootout, avenging its loss to Canberra when the two sides met earlier this season.

The victory was even more important given the disappointment of Saturday’s defeat to Melbourne Ice. The Northstars were again trailing in the third period but showed great character to level the score at 3-all.

It wasn’t enough this time though, as the Ice picked up a 4-3 shootout win on the road.

Newcastle captain Robert Malloy said the Ice were a deep team with “plenty of firepower”.

“I thought we matched them in the first period,” he said.

Knights win Harold Matthews title

“If we buried a couple of chances it may have been a different game. I think they just upped their intensity [in the second].

“Maybe they were a little flat in the first.”

The Northstars will now face the Brave and Sydney Ice Dogs this weekend.

There’s not been much to cheer about lately if you are a Newcastle Knights fan.

But, the club’s Harold Matthews side finally gave long-suffering supporters something to celebrate at the weekend.

Facing rivals Manly in the under-16s grand final, Newcastle fought back after being dominated early to trail 14-10.

A second try to back rower Riley Meyn then looked to have given the Knights the upper hand.

Manly showed terrific fighting qualities of its own though as Albert Hopoate dived over to score against the run of play.

With the final siren looming and the Sea Eagles eyeing victory, Newcastle needed a hero.

Enter Patrick Achurch.

His try right on the buzzer sent the game into extra time. Captain Jaron Purcell then barged over from close range to hand Newcastle its fourth Harold Matthews title.

The thrilling 26-20 victory also ensured the Knights remained undefeated in 2017.

Challenge Disability Services’ Connexions program is available to local residents living with a disability, aged 18 to 35, who have low support requirements.

It provides participants with the opportunity to spend time with people their own age while taking part in a range of skill-building and social activities.

Connexions has been running successfully in Tamworth for the past four years. Participants such as Nicole are given the opportunity to learn life and work skills, as well as valuable training, which, in Nicole’s case, has helped her attain a position at a local laundry service.

Nicole says she has lots of fun at Connexions, making new friends and learning new skills.

"We make timber products such as dog kennels and pallet boxes; I've learnt lots of new skills," Nicole said.

“I am looking forward to getting settled in my new job. It will be nice to make some more new friends.”

Life skills activities provide participants with the tools they need in their day-to-day lives, and include lessons in cooking, shopping, fitness and gardening. There’s ample opportunity to socialise, with sporting teams, bushwalking, art and even take a class to improve social skills all on the agenda.

Classes are available in computer literacy and job applications as well as the Business Club to provide hands-on experience in business basics to prepare participants for the workforce.

Connexions can also help participants get a driver's licence; Nicole is hoping to get her Ls soon and is saving up to buy a car.

The Connexions program is eligible for NDIS funding, providing the chance for 18 to 35-year-olds with low support needs to gain essential work, social and life skills with people their own age.

For more information on Challenge Connexions please email grace.folkard@ challengecommunity.org.au or phone Grace on 0407 367 434.

Challenge Community Services are launching their popular service Connexions in Newcastle.

If you are between 18 and 35, and have a disability, you can join in Connexions activities to help you to prepare for life and work in a fun and friendly environment. You will learn practical life skills like cooking or getting your L-plates and how to apply for a job, or just have fun.

Dazzling discotheque

VELVET is “one big party”, as Oliver describes it. His character is at the centre of it all – a young, shy man who slips behind the red velvet rope at the glamorous nightclub that is VELVET (loosely based on the former nightclub-turned Broadway theatre, Studio 54, in New York City).

The audience follows him on a journey of self-discovery, sprinkled with funky, fresh and glitter-filled numbers.

“It’s truly incredible,” Oliver said.

“I can tell you how great it is, but you really have to see for yourself.”

VELVET pops up in Newcastle in the Spiegeltent (which keen Novocastrians will remember set the scene for Spiegelworld’s Empire in 2013 and Absinthe in 2015), at Newcastle’s Civic Park on Wednesday 17 May, and is in town until Sunday 4 June.

Leading VELVET man Tom Oliver says the first time he saw the show as an audience member, he was galvanised into action.

“I remember thinking: what the hell was that and how can I become a part of it,” he told Newcastle Weekly.

Four auditions later, the Brisbane-born singer, actor and all-round stage performer was cast as the lead male in the award-winning, ARIAnominated divine discotheque that masterfully combines cabaret, burlesque and circus.

The show had already enjoyed sell-out success in 2015 and 2016 when Oliver joined the cast for the 2017 tour, which kicked off in January.

Now, Oliver has more than 100 performances under his belt, working alongside the likes of legendary diva herself, Marcia Hines; hula boy extraordinaire Craig Reid; acrobatic wunderkind Mirko Köckenberger; and sizzling aerialist Emma Goh.

Calling all green thumbs

Hunter artist Helene Leane with some of her works.

In her third solo exhibition as a Gallery 139 artist, Helene Leane explores the loss of the Australian Red Cedar tree in the Hunter Valley, to which she recently relocated.

RED GOLD: THE CEDAR STORY wraps up at the Hamilton gallery this Sunday 14 May with a free artist talk from Leane, whose signature works include monotype prints, abstract encaustic art and small-scale printings.

Being Mother’s Day, the gallery will provide light refreshments to celebrate, and director Ahn Wells encouraged those with ‘green thumb’ mums to bring them along – for reasons which will become clear during Leane’s talk.

Through her research, Leane has found the cedar tree’s superiority for making furniture, boats and houses has ultimately led to a scarcity of the tree in its natural environment.

To combat this, Leane will be giving away Australian Red Cedar tubestock (young plants ready for planting) to anyone willing and able to plant a tree in their backyard to encourage growth of this native.

The free artist talk will be held at Gallery 139 from 12pm to 1pm.

Paying tribute to one of world’s most revered artists He has previously taken on the role of Paul McCartney.

And, soon, he will pay tribute to one of the world’s most revered artists, David Bowie, in Bowie: Ashes to Ashes.

So, does Eleebana resident Cameron Charters ever feel any pressure to play these famous, charismatic personalities?

“I try not to [feel pressure],” he said.

“The audience is there to have a good time, and they’re not too critical.

Eleebana performer Cameron Charters plays David Bowie in Bowie: Ashes to Ashes

“When I first started doing it, particularly with The Beatles, it was a bit more nerve-wracking.

“But I’m a bit of an old head now.”

Charters first started performing publicly at the age of nine as part of his local brass band, and has not stopped playing live since.

In 2006, he joined forces with

Showtime Australia, touring Australia, South Africa, Canada and New Zealand extensively for Beatlemania On Tour.

Now, his goal is to take audiences through the musical mystery and creative genius of David Bowie.

“It’s all about getting into character and celebrating Bowie’s tremendous career,” Charters said.

“Bowie wasn’t just a musician; he was also an artist and visionary in the highest sense.

“In order to do him justice, we’ve made every effort to ensure the show is a real spectacle for the senses.”

The two-hour performance, which comes to Wests New Lambton on Saturday 20 May, is set to feature hits like Heroes, Starman, Ashes to Ashes and Ziggy Stardust.

time out Rockers return with fresh album Known for their moody romanticism and op-shop stylings, The Blackeyed Susans are rolling into town, next week, to share their first album in more than a decade with Newcastle fans.

Close Your Eyes and See finds The Blackeyed Susans near the height of their powers, delivering one of the band’s strongest lyrical collections to date.

Led by chief songwriter Phil Kakulas and producer Dan Luscombe, Close Your Eyes and See combines the honeyed vocals of Rob Snarski with long, reverb-y trails of pedal steel, tremolo guitar, violin and keyboards.

The result is a meticulouslycrafted album of dreamlike torch songs, bruised ballads and atmospheric rockers that sound both classic and contemporary.

Lush and mysterious, the album responds to the wonderful and

woeful world we live in; an appeal to keep your dreams alive, even when it feels as if you’re living a nightmare.

Formed in Perth in 1989, The Blackeyed Susans have more than 25 years’ experience playing together.

The band was born when members of The Triffids, Chad’s Tree and Martha’s Vineyard formed to play a bunch of shows for holidaymakers one particularly hot West Australian summer.

They relocated to Sydney, and later, Melbourne, galvanising their sound around Snarski’s vocals.

Declared national treasures

by Rolling Stone, The Blackeyed Susans have toured the world, played with the likes of Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen, and released numerous albums.

Boasting members of The Cruel Sea, Dirty Three, The Jackson

The Blackeyed Susans make their triumphant return at Lizotte’s Newcastle on Friday 19 May.

Code, Augie March, The Drones, and Hungry Ghosts, the band’s credits read like a who’s-who of Australian alternative music.

Along with Snarski, the band features long-time members Phil Kakulas (bass), Mark Dawson (drums), Keirnan Box (keyboards), J.P Shilo (guitar and accordion), and Graham Lee (pedal steel).

The Blackeyed Susans play at Lizotte’s Newcastle on Friday 19 May as part of their national album tour.

Maitland Private Hospital Quality Healthecare Delivered Locally

Home-grown label goes ethical WITH FASHION EDITOR, GEORGIA OSLAND

Hamilton-based fashion designer Bonnie Lee Tipper’s penchant for clothing can be traced back to her formative years.

Her grandmother was a dressmaker and patternmaker, and Bonnie had always been fascinated by her grandmother’s talent.

When Bonnie was 14, her mother suggested she take up textiles at school as a creative outlet.

And, she’s been “obsessed” with fashion ever since.

When she was 18, Bonnie moved from her hometown of Port Macquarie to study fashion design at a private college in Sydney.

In early 2015, after three years of full-time study, Bonnie moved to Newcastle, determined to start a label of her own that really meant something to the locals.

In the quiet, unassuming suburb of Islington, Chinchen St the label was born.

Those familiar with Newcastle will recognise Chinchen as an Islington street name.

“I tossed up between a few names for the label; I asked family and friends, and Chinchen St kind of just stuck,” Bonnie said.

Now living in Hamilton, Bonnie runs the label entirely from her own home, selling her clothing online, through social media, and at

markets and other events.

While her friends and family help with the decision-making, photography, modelling and styling, Bonnie alone does all the sewing.

Chinchen St stocks a range of men and women’s clothing that is either handmade or vintage.

Bonnie takes donated, pre-loved clothing and op-shop finds, and turns them into unique, eclectic pieces.

Using reclaimed and vintage fabrics helps Bonnie to keep costs down, with all pieces being under $100, and most under $50.

“Keeping costs down makes it more affordable for people who are wanted to buy ethical clothing but can’t afford it or don’t know where to find it,” Bonnie said.

Most of the Chinchen St range is trans-seasonal, meaning it can be dressed up or down, depending on the weather, and much of it harkens back to the 70s, 80s and 90s.

“Everything I have can be styled into a modern wardrobe,” Bonnie said.

“There’s nothing in there that’s so out there that can’t be paired with other things.

“I do have stuff like that, but I keep it in my own wardrobe.”

Visit chinchenst.com; search ‘Chinchen St’ on Facebook, or follow @chinchen_st on Instagram.

The only private hospital between Newcastle and Taree, Maitland Private Hospital provides quality care to the communities of Maitland, the Lower Hunter and Port Stephens.

The Gangsta DVD pack

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

This Sunday 14 May is Mother’s Day. From my two sons, “I love you” is all I need; I certainly don’t look for a bunch of flowers, especially after wrapping them all weekend!

What I do love is when dads bring their tots in to the nursery to choose their own gifts. The decision about colour is paramount, but I can tell you it’s generally their favourite – forget what mum likes!

Chrysanthemums are popular, especially for grandmas, and this year there are lovely bowls of mixed colours in nice white pots.

Younger mums, I find, prefer cyclamen,

which provide great colour for inside the home during winter. To prolong their lifespan, water under the leaves - not on the crown - and pop them outside at night to freshen them up, especially if you have them in a heated room.

A new introduction this Mother’s Day is beautiful pure white poinsettias in a nice white pot, which, when finished flowering, can be planted in the garden. Orchid-loving mums would enjoy a Cymbidium orchid, which are just starting to flower. Their long, strappy growth and tall stems of blooms look superb in large containers.

In bloom for Mother’s Day

To celebrate the release of War On Everyone (MA 15+) on Blu-ray, DVD and digital from 19 April, you could win one of two Gangsta DVD packs, including Spring Breakers (R), Red (M), In Bruges (MA 15+), Alpha Dog (MA 15+), 44 Inch Chest (MA 15+), Sin City II: A Dame To Kill For (MA 15+), Filth (R) – plus a copy of War On Everyone.

War On Everyone follows corrupt cops Terry (Alexander Skarsgård) and Bob (Michael Peña) as they break the law for a living in New Mexico. After the crooked pair come up against criminal kingpin James Mangan (Theo James), things get very, very personal.

No longer just about the money, Terry and Bob put everything on the line in this politically-incorrect, bad cop-bad cop black comedy.

When is the right time to sell?

When it comes to the ‘right’ time to sell, I believe there isn’t an exact time that will suit everyone as the decision to sell ultimately depends on your personal circumstances.

Timing can also rely upon whether you are then looking to buy in the same market, or to buy in another, and should therefore be carefully considered in light of local market conditions.

If you are selling and waiting for another market to change, you should proceed with caution.

Some people tend to be too easily influenced by market chatter and speculation, and homeowners may take themselves out of the market too early when better results could have been achieved down the track.

I am of the view that property is a long-term investment and is best approached with long-term, forward-thinking goals in mind.

For example, looking back at the property market and its various

cycles, it is remarkable to assess the capital growth one would have achieved if they had purchased a With Century 21 Chairman, Charles Tarbey house around Sydney in the 1980s and held the asset until today.

Taking a long-term approach to property investment has the added advantage of helping people to not get caught up in short-term market speculation and ‘bubble talk’.

A healthy market is one that is conducive to effective negotiation between buyer and seller, and there is a degree of balance between buyer and seller and strong transaction levels.

Over the past few years, we have seen a sellers’ market in many parts of the country, especially in New South Wales.

PICK OF THE WEEK Beyond Rangoon

The Color Purple

Friday, NBN, 1pm, M (1995) Patricia Arquette (left) moved on to serious turf with this bleak and unsettling depiction of political unrest in Burma.

With spirited conviction, she plays an American on a soul-searching holiday with her sister (Frances McDormand), who misplaces her passport and is forced into a struggle for survival. Character inadequacies and an indecisive agenda creep in to muddle things up, but flawless direction from John Boorman (Deliverance) create an edgy journey of suspense.

Friday

Saturday, NBN, 1.30pm, PG (1985) Steven Spielberg went out on a limb, trusted his instincts and momentarily abandoned his fantasy blockbuster ways to make this extraordinarily powerful drama, based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Whoopi Goldberg (above) made an auspicious screen debut as the main character, Celie, who suffers through 30 years of the various trials and tribulations of being a poor black woman in the deeply racist South during the dawn of the 20th century.

Before Sunrise

Tuesday, NBN, 1pm, M (1995) It’s all in the dialogue for filmmaking hero Richard Linklater, and this daringly original romance has loads of it. Grungy American student Jesse (Ethan Hawke, far right) meets petite French girl Celine (Julie Delpy, right) aboard a Budapest-Vienna train. On a whim, he suggests they “hang out”, and 14 hours later, after taking in Vienna, they say goodbye.

WITH FRANCIS BEVAN

Cate’s reluctance to say what she thinks disappears during the next 12 months and is replaced with a much more spontaneous and confident persona. She will be at her most animated when talking about her own affairs. This is the start of an exciting new phase in her life, in which she will be able to take the initiative and get new ventures up and running. Cate will seize opportunities and turn them to her advantage.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

Have a good think about your finances. If you’ve been neglecting them recently, you should go over them with a fine-tooth comb. If you spot some discrepancies, get onto them faster than a cat pouncing on a mouse – you won't be happy until you have sorted everything out.

If your social circle has dwindled recently, use this month as an opportunity to make some new friends. Join an organisation or group that caters for one of your interests so you already have something in common with the people you’ll meet. Then wait to see what happens next.

You’ll be putting a lot of energy into intimate relationships. You might want to spend more time than usual with your nearest and dearest, simply because you get so much pleasure from their company. Also consider what these relationships give you and what you bring to them.

If you’re waiting for love to come along, you might not have to wait much longer – or maybe you've already met them but don’t realise it?

If you do meet someone new, don’t be surprised if they knock your socks off, especially if they aren’t your usual cup of tea.

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 23

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

Your focus is on your one-to-one relationships and there’s a chance your sense of identity will be closely connected with the people in your life. There will be times when you’ll prefer to be with others than on your own and you’ll enjoy any form of teamwork.

You’re feeling very domestic and could be inspired to cook up a storm or have a cleaning blitz. If you’ve been thinking about making some changes to your home, now is the time to put them into place. You’ll also prefer to be with people who know you well.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

You’ll take pride in doing things to the best of your ability. Being of service to others brings you pleasure, whether or not it’s expected of you. You might even put yourself out to help others. All the same you’ll be really pleased if your hard work is noticed!

If things have been dicey with someone familiar, such as a close relative or neighbour, try to sort out the situation this month. Perhaps you both need to discuss it or to revise your opinion of one another. You might decide it’s time to put it all behind you.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21 You’ll be feeling a lot more ebullient and forthcoming than you have for some time. You’ll want to take the lead and certainly won’t be following other people like a sheep. You’ll have a surge of confidence, enabling you to push ahead or put yourself in the limelight.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21 You may find it difficult to motivate yourself into achieving much; it could be that your get up and go has got up and gone or because you’re feeling down. You may have to do some clever acting if you’re dealing with someone who always expects you to perform.

You’re channelling more energy into your ambitions. There might even be occasions when it’s difficult to concentrate on anything else for long. You’re in a very efficient frame of mind so it’s a great opportunity to tackle any complicated paperwork that’s attracting your attention.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEPT 23 This month, it pays to be optimistic and you might even be staggered by what happens. If you’re going on a holiday you’ll have a fabulous time, but there’s no need to miss out if you’re staying at home because you can spread your wings in other ways.
