A huge congratulations to our food writer and Gold Coast dining expert Marj Osborne, whose Good Food Gold Coast was recently ranked as No. 7 on the Top 10 food blogs in Australia on the Australian Food Blogger website. Having previously reviewed food for the Mietta's dining guides, Marj began her website in 2011 and quickly established her reputation as a food writer. By 2018, over 1 million unique visitors had visited her website. Her initial goal was to promote great local produce and food experiences at a time when the Gold Coast was not seen as a food destination. Thankfully, that perception has changed. Now, as the dining climate evolves, so has the focus of her website. From affordable dining during the GFC and 'good news' stories during lockdown to interviews and backstories of producers and chefs, her blog now stresses our identity as a food community, growing, making and eating locally. 'What is Gold Coast cuisine?' she asks, 'And how does each eatery contribute to the whole?'

The Renaissance City Record regional migraton is driving an excitng revival on the Gold Coast. Janelle Estreich speaks to SeaBreeze Design & Construct whose striking debut project has broken new ground.
LURED BY SUN , surf and a laidback lifestyle, more Australians relocated from capital cites to the Gold Coast than any other region in 2021. That mass migraton has triggered a renaissance of sorts on the Gold Coast, with metro migrants reinvigoratng the city with fresh energy, ideas and capital. SeaBreeze Design & Construct is led by designers Renée Ellen and Paul Lingard who, along with their team of engineers and trades, are among those who now call the Gold Coast home. “The Gold Coast has sufered for a long tme from being a holiday home outpost, when it really has all the elements of a world-class destnaton,” says Ellen. The unique SeaBreeze brand of holistc house and landscape design has not gone unnotced — their debut Gold Coast project Jabiru House smashed the Mudgeeraba house price record twice, selling prior to aucton each tme. Inspired by Brazilian architecture and the imperfect beauty of natural materials, Jabiru House carves a memorable
presence in the well-to-do hinterland haven of Jabiru Estate. SeaBreeze worked closely with the overseas owner on the inital concept, and remotely managed the 12-month project smoothly through each phase; from design, constructon and landscaping through to handmade furnishings and styling. The project has seen SeaBreeze atract those clients with a keen appreciaton for design and a strong desire to enjoy the surrounding landscape as a natural extension of their home. “I think the type of people who are migratng to the Gold Coast have something in common: they want to get out of the city,” says Ellen. “People are putng a bigger value on space, nature, inspiring home ofces and self-imposed isolaton such that homes are very much becoming resort-style retreats in themselves.” SeaBreeze specialises in semi-rural and hinterland sites behind the Gold Coast and in Northern NSW where home and

DREAM Sanctuary Cove couple Jamie Arscott and Vicki Scotts have put their heart and soul into making Bosch & Rockit, a feature film starring Luke Hemsworth, Rasmus King and Isabel Lucas.

– Issue 88
WORDS RHONDA OXNAM | PHOTOGRAPHY ARTERIUM WHAT DO YOU have on your bucket list? Climb Mount Everest? Swim with sharks? How about making a movie? But not just any movie – one that stars a Hemsworth, is shot in the beautiful surrounds of Byron Bay and is filmed during a pandemic. That is precisely what entrepreneurial Sanctuary Cove couple Jamie Arscott and Vicki Scotts have done. "I had wanted to make a movie for many a year, and as luck would have it, I met a young man who was staying at our house and he had a script,” explains Jamie. "We read it and fell in love with the story, and we thought if we are going to do it, it's now or never." While it was obviously not quite as simple as that, the result is Bosch & Rockit, a feature-length film that is already drawing critical acclaim worldwide. “It is a story of love and forgiveness, told through the eyes of innocence, and I think that's what the world needs right now,” says Vicki. “We are still in the midst of the pandemic and this movie gives people a moment of reality and raw emotion. “The other message we’d like people to get from our experience is how important it is to follow a dream,” she adds. “Jamie had the confidence to give it a go … and I was so proud to support his vision and his ambition.” As Producers and Executive Producers, Jamie and Vicki took an ‘old school’ approach to filming Bosch & Rockit. “We had complete control and were able to work through any problems using our years of experience with business," Jamie says. "It was just a lot of intuition and common sense.” “And there was so much love and care on the set,” adds Vicki. “We had the right people, the right script, and it was just meant to be.” Written, produced and directed by Tyler Atkins, and starring Luke Hemsworth, Rasmus King, Isabel Lucas and Leeanna Walsman, the movie tells the story of Bosch, a young father who goes on the run for drug dealing with his surf gang. In tow is his teenage son, Rockit, who believes he is on a magical holiday with his father. Together they journey through boyhood and manhood in an unforgettable true story about love, forgiveness and magic, all set against the beauty of the Australian coastline. Playing the lead character of Bosch is Australian actor Luke Hemsworth, who admits he had some doubts about taking on the role. “Ultimately, the director Tyler Atkins sold me on the film,” he says. “We met to discuss the film and I was on the fence. “The role of Bosch was great but I needed to know I was in good hands. “His vision, passion and the fact that we would be telling intimate parts of his early family life convinced me that together we could create a unique distillation of a father/ son relationship that is poignant and real. >>

“I love exploring the human experience. I love being on set. I love figuring out problems. I love creating, and I love the families you make when filming.” – Luke Hemsworth

“The film is a snapshot of a lot of beach life in Australia,” he adds. “I’ve had a lot of people tell me ‘that was what my life was like as a kid’ or ‘my dad was like that’. “I think we touched on some universal issues that fathers in particular, as well as children, face. “It should appeal to a wide range of audiences because we’ve all been children and had parents that have let us down one way or another. “It’s a human story about people who aren’t perfect. People who don’t have all the answers. People who are doing their best in difficult circumstances. “They’re not BAD people, they’re just moving through life. Luke admits that being a father definitely helped him prepare for playing Rockit’s dad. “Because of work I’m away from my kids a lot so there’s a large well to draw from there. “We all love our kids and want to be there for them for every moment but we also have to work and pay the bills. “I’m constantly learning from my kids and am trying to guide them morally and ethically as best I can … but I fail a lot. “Bosch loves Rockit but is perhaps a little too wrapped up in his own quest for pleasure. “As a result he neglects Rockit’s welfare and is mostly absent from his life. “He does try to be a good dad but the tools he uses aren’t the best.” Shot in and around Byron Bay in mid-2020, the movie was one of the first projects to be made in Australia during the pandemic. “When Covid hit we thought about pulling production because it was a big investment for us,” explains Vicki. “But we had 120 cast and crew, and all the equipment, on location south of the border so we decided to go ahead. "In Hollywood they were calling us 'the canaries in the coal mine' because we were setting a precedent for filming under a whole new set of protocols.” “The positive was that we got people working on the set, like cinematographer Ben Nott and our lighting guy Ben Slattery, that wouldn’t normally have been available,” adds Jamie. The six weeks of filming was conducted within a ‘Covid bubble’, which added a new dimension to the production. "It took an hour to get the set ready every day, we had two nurses on-site 24/7, all the crew were wearing masks, it was full-on,” says Vicki. It was also a learning experience for the actors. “The hardest part for me was just the communication on set with the crew,” says Luke. “It’s strange never getting to see what people’s faces look like and much harder for me to get everyone’s name to stick in my head. “But the good thing about working in Australia compared to other parts of the world is it’s easier because we speak the same language. “And I love Australian crews and the ‘can do’ attitude.” >>

Having been in the industry for over two decades, Luke admits he still gets great enjoyment out of acting. “I love exploring the human experience. I love being on set. I love figuring out problems. I love creating, and I love the families you make when you are filming … losing those little families is a negative, though. “I’ve been acting for 20 years and don’t worry about people judging my every move. “If the film is good enough and my preparation has been thorough, I hope that people are lost in the story and shouldn’t be judging anyway. “It’s art and, ultimately, I don’t do it to gain approval from anybody. “It helps the film do well if people like it but I think if I was concerned about what people thought all the time, it would suck.” So has his career panned out the way he expected? Did he have a Plan B? “It’s been a crazy, wonderful journey and I really love what I do," he says. “There are films that didn’t turn out like I hoped but I don’t dwell on it. “There's always something to be gained and learnt on any project. “I had so many Plan Bs over the years. “I still love making things. And painting and photography. And if it all goes down the drain, I’ll happily go back to sanding floors.” With Luke's younger brothers, Chris and Liam, being two of Australia’s most recognisable actors, it begs the question … is being a ‘Hemsworth’ a help or a hindrance? “Mostly it helps,” Luke replies. “But only when booking a table at a restaurant.”

Now, back to Bosch & Rockit. Since premiering at the Sydney Film Festival in November 2021, the film has drawn praise around the world, including Hollywood superstar Matt Damon, who has seen the movie four times. “Bosch & Rockit is a deeply relevant family story, filled with excellent performances and set in one of my favourite places on the planet,” he said. “There’s something for everyone, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll leave deeply moved. “I absolutely loved this movie.”
“It’s real and it’s raw and it’s honest and we are super proud of what we have produced.” – Jamie Arscott & Vicki Scotts Bosch & Rockit is due for general release in cinemas across Australia and the U.S. in the first half of 2022 and Jamie and Vicki are hoping audiences enjoy watching it as much as they enjoyed making it. "Because this movie was an independent production, we were involved every step of the way from conception to the final cut, and it was such an amazing experience,” they said. “It’s real and it’s raw and it’s honest and we are super proud of what we have produced.”
Bosch & Rockit
Filmed at iconic Byron Bay, against the canvas of Australia’s famous east coast surf beaches and rainforests, Bosch & Rockit is a raw and unapologetic exploration of unconscious parenting and the deeper themes of love, forgiveness and relationships. Set in the late 1990s, before the era of smartphones and social media, Bosch & Rockit is a powerful story told through the eyes of a young teenage boy. As Rockit grapples to understand why his Mum’s not coming home, he embarks on a magical holiday with his father, Bosch, only to discover they’re actually running from the law. While on the run, they struggle through unbelievable circumstances only armed with hope, courage, and determination. Bosch gives his all trying to protect his son, while Rockit struggles to come to terms with the hand he has been dealt. Unable to attend school because of the ‘heat’ it would draw from the police and with no mother around to nurture him, Rockit turns to surfing and the life that is associated with it as a means of escape. Bosch can only run for so long and eventually his reality catches up with him. Bosch & Rockit is a film that exposes the devastation that unconscious parenting and addiction can have on a family, it is a story that ultimately gives us hope that no matter what our circumstances are, we will find a way through. Told through the eyes of a young boy, Bosch & Rockit will take us on an incredible journey from boyhood to manhood. blackpearlproductions.com.au

BREAKING THE ICE Frozen The Musical star, Courtney Monsma, credits her coastal upbringing for theatre success.
FOR THE FIRST TIME in forever, the sunshine state will welcome icy peaks and a blanket of snow when the much-anticipated Brisbane season of Disney’s Frozen the Musical opens in February 2022, with the Gold Coast’s Courtney Monsma at the helm. When she’s not stand-up paddle boarding at Tally Beach or enjoying an ice-cold acai bowl at Cardamom Pod, Courtney is busy melting hearts on-stage as Princess Anna. And while the sunny Gold Coast may be a far cry from Frozen’s Arendelle, it’s her relaxed coastal upbringing that she credits for providing her with the ability to flourish as a theatre performer and guide her path to the bright lights of the theatre. “I was blessed with such wonderful teachers,” says Courtney, who took part in performing arts programs at Tallebudgera Primary School and Palm Beach Currumbin State High School while also training at National Academy of Performing Arts (NAPA).

“In particular Trent Ivett and Madonna Hall from Palm Beach Currumbin, and at NAPA Kim Reynolds and Lynn Dyer, really helped me get to where I am today. “The Gold Coast has an incredible community theatre circuit for performers,” she adds. “I got to be involved in many productions growing up which taught me so much. “This was a huge advantage as I got to work with people from a young age, learn on the job and do what I love.” While encouraging an attitude to always be learning and upskilling, Courtney’s number one piece of advice for aspiring young performers is to have faith in themselves. “For auditions, put the work into the preparation, but once in the room you need trust in your skill,” she says. “Learning to be proud of who you are helps you perform and be connected. “When I’m nervous, which is a lot actually, I always say to myself ‘trust your gift’ … it helps.”
As a young adult, Courtney undertook a Bachelor of Musical Theatre from the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University under the guidance of Professor Paul Sabey, which proved to be a pivotal moment in helping to launch her career. “Queenslanders are so lucky to have such an incredible theatre program like The Con,” Courtney says. “I learned so much during my time there, and it was an incredible step up into the professional musical theatre industry.” Cour tney starred in the Queensland Conservatorium’s 2017 production of West Side Story, and just two years after graduating landed her breakout role as Princess Anna in Frozen the Musical in 2019. The Brisbane season opens at the Lyric Theatre, QPAC in February and Courtney can’t wait to perform in her home state. “Guests can expect to be wowed, with so much more than you can imagine,” she says.

“Frozen The Musical is a world-class production, direct from Broadway to the Australian stage. “Not only do you get to see the story you know and love, there is additional score and script that brings it to a new level. “Plus every aspect of the show, from the costumes to the set, to the amazing cast and band, is an experience everyone will enjoy. “The attention to detail is incredible … I feel so lucky to be part of it and to have the honour to share such a touching storyline that transcends for all ages. “I love when I look out into the audience and see a grandmother, mother and daughter all enjoying the show together.” While here, Courtney plans to spend time with loved ones and enjoy the beaches, cafes and shops of the Gold Coast she’s missed while touring. “I’m so excited to be bringing this wonderful show home.”

The new production from the producers of Aladdin, The Lion King and Mary Poppins opens at the Lyric Theatre, Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) in February 2022, following successful seasons in Sydney and Melbourne. Frozen, which has grown up for the stage, brings to life the 2013 Academy Award-winning animated film of the same name and tells the inspiring tale of sisterhood and true love, with a stellar cast of Australian musical theatre performers including Jemma Rix in the role of Elsa, Courtney Monsma as Princess Anna, Matt Lee as Olaf, Thomas McGuane as Hans and fellow Queenslander, Sean Sinclair as Kristoff. The production also features 12 brand-new songs by Oscar winning composers Kristen Anderson Lopez and Bobby Lopez (who also wrote the music for Frozen 1 and 2), hundreds of hand-sewn and beaded costumes all made in Australia, custommade shoes and wigs from Australian artisans and 45 tonnes of flying scenery.

C O M P L ET E W E L L N ES S IS IT TIM E TO DISCOVER A N E W YOU IN 2022?
WHETHER YOU ARE LOOKING for a complete wellness overhaul or just want to pamper yourself a little after the challenges of the pandemic, a new year is the perfect time to hit the reset button on your health and wellbeing. One of the best places to start is with what you are putting into your body. Leading dietitian and Mayver’s ambassador, Susie Burrell, advises us to rethink our approach to popular ‘New Year Resolution’ diets and instead take up long-term strategies towards healthier lifestyles. “Oftentimes, the New Year, New Me approach doesn’t work because it’s seasonal,” Susie says. “It lasts for that short period when you’re motivated to lose weight and feel good for the start of the year. “If you’re lucky, a New Year’s health kick might last a few weeks or months,” she says.
40 covemagazine.com.au
– Issue 88
Susie suggests a more concerted effort towards adopting better long-term lifestyle habits, and a healthier, more integrated approach towards food, will prove more successful. Susie’s sustainable lifestyle diet tips for 2022 are: • Avoid short term diets and calorie restrictive diets. • Choose nutritionally balanced meals (protein, fruits/veggies and carbohydrates). • Experiment with new recipes and ingredients. • Balance your intake throughout the day e.g. smaller portions at dinner if you’re going out for lunch. • Think of food as your body’s fuel for optimising health. Once we have adopted a healthier lifestyle, taking care of any underlying medical issues is also important.
Maybe it’s time to schedule that eye test, book in for a skin check, arrange a dental appointment or have your feet and posture assessed. If you are feeling a little sluggish, improving your gut health or balancing your hormones might help. These are all simple acts that can have a positive impact on our long-term health. Of course, it doesn’t matter how well we feel or how healthy we are, a relaxing beauty treatment is always welcome (did somebody say spa day?). Anything from a new hairstyle or skin treatment to a remedial massage and rejuvenating facial will leave you refreshed and ready to take on whatever 2022 brings.
FOOT CIENCE PODIATRY
COMPLETE WELLNESS
PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD Early detection and prevention is the primary role of Absolute Footcare’s experienced podiatrists in relation to children’s biomechanics.
ALL GOLFERS KNOW without correction the perfect swing will always remain elusive. The same rule also applies for more simpler physical executions. That is why, regardless of whether your children are going to be professional sports people, lawyers, doctors, plumbers or builders, it is incumbent on all parents to make sure their childrens’ biomechanics are corrected early. Without early correction children can be at best depriving themselves of the greatest they can be in their chosen junior sporting fields and at worst doing irreparable damage to their bodies which will revisit them in later life.
44 covemagazine.com.au
– Issue 88
As the foundations of their body, children’s feet can relate to problems as they age affecting the whole body including knees, hips and back. Musculoskeletal problems experienced by parents or grandparents can be prevented in the next generation if we act early enough. Absolute Footcare’s Podiatrist s are university-trained health professionals who specialise in the prevention, diagnosis, investigation, treatment and rehabilitation of conditions of the feet and lower limbs. This is often referred to as biomechanics. Detection and prevention are key elements when it comes to foot health, and it is never too
early to look for signs your children may benefit from seeing an experienced podiatrist to better their biometrics. One of the most common conditions Absolute Footcare’s experienced podiatrists observe in children is Severs or children’s heel pain. While they are growing, active children are at risk of pain at the growth plate at the back of their heel. It is common in children aged between 8-14 years old and if they are experiencing this type of pain, children can stop being the best they can be in their chosen sporting endeavours or just stop being active with friends.
Regardless of our age we all deserve to walk with dignity and without pain. Absolute Footcare’s podiatrists have been correcting Gold Coast childrens’ biomechanics for more than 20 years and are here to assist you and your family at three locations at Broadbeach, Southport and Runaway Bay. Call to make an appointment on (07) 5528 3226.

Signs of biometric issues
Each child is unique and will move through their stages of development differently but the early signs of biometric problems include: • Your child’s feet turn in or out a lot; • Your child has flat feet; • Your child walks pigeon toed or in-toeing; • Your child walks on their toes; • Your child wears their shoes out unevenly; • Your child wants to be carried or is avoiding exercise; • Your child is limping; •Y our child gets pain in the back of their heels with exercise; • Your child gets pain at the front of their knees.

Former international model, image specialist and Cryo beauty therapist, Tasha Holman, from The Holman Brand, said the Cryo technique works by stimulating fibroblasts just under the skin’s surface that are responsible for the storage and creation of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. “Cryo beauty is painless, non-invasive, can be performed in 30 minutes and it really works,” she said.

LOVE YOUR GUT
Chempro Sanctuary Cove’s Donay Taylor has some great advice for improving your gut health.
“2021 WAS ANOTHER GREAT YEAR for us at the Sanctuary Cove Chempro Pharmacy,” says owner and pharmacist Donay Taylor. “We relocated to our new premises, allowing us to expand our range and to stock some great specialty vitamins and supplements. “The team has seen a great interest in the area of gut health and supplements to support and improve symptoms such as bloating and acid reflux,” she says. Gut health can play a very important role in both our physical and mental health. Poor diets, excessive alcohol, stress, antibiotics, and other medication can negatively impact your gut health. There has been a lot of research into gut health and how it can play a role in other diseases such as obesity, diabetes, anxiety, and cancer. The good news is lifestyle and dietary modifications can make a big difference. Focusing on eating real, whole foods and avoiding processed foods that are high in refined sugar can be beneficial. Other helpful lifestyle modifications include eating smaller meals and eating dinner earlier in the evening, as well as reducing alcohol intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Eating a diet high in fibre is very important to allow the good bacteria in your gut thrive. These include vegetables such as carrots, beets, and broccoli, fruits such as strawberries and pears as well as chia seeds and avocado. There are many supplements available which can also help improve your gut health, such as prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes, magnesium, and slippery elm. Collagen powder is another great supplement which can help ‘heal and seal’ the gut and provide essential amino acids to rebuild and strengthen the lining of the digestive system. “Our team can help find the most appropriate supplement to suit your needs,” says Donay.
Chempro Sanctuary Cove are also excited to announce a collaboration with resident Functional Physiotherapist Victoria Parnaby. Victoria is a well known and loved member of the community who has worked from her room in the Country Club for over 20 years. She has a double degree in Physiotherapy and Sports Science and is extremely passionate about all things health and well-being. Victoria focuses on getting to the root of the problem via the four strategic pillars of health, Diet, Movement, Stress, and Sleep. Underlying all those pillars is Gut Health. Hippocrates knew it hundreds of years ago when he said ‘All disease starts in the gut’ and we are only just now scratching the surface of its importance in all other aspects of health. Victoria will look at chronic health conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, weight gain, energy and mood swings as well as skin problems through a Functional Health lens, giving you fresh and practical options for healing and improving your quality of life.

Unlock the secret of beautiful skin at Vault Skin Lab Sanctuary Cove.
THE VAULT SKIN LAB Sanctuary Cove merges the best of modern clinical treatments and product ingredients with the tradition of ‘oldschool’ beauty to create new and modern approaches to skin health. Over the past 15 years, owner Cathy Radford has distinguished herself as a passionate advocate of aesthetic skin improvement amongst teenagers and celebrities alike. With her practices stretching from Orange County USA to Sydney and now The Marine Village, Sanctuary Cove, Cathy specialises in tailored treatments and products designed to enhance an individual’s skin and complexion. “I still love the whimsical notion of entering a day spa and being pampered, while leaving feeling elated,” she says. “I believe this is something that has been truly lost in our industry over the years. “As much as results-driven facials are pertinent for many of my clients, I believe that delivering highend medical grade treatments along with traditional beauty pampering– encapsulated in a tranquil, gorgeous environment for clients to escape their busy hectic lives – is still truly fundamental.”
Her clients agree, with one commenting: “That OMG moment when you fortuitously make the best decision ever. “On impulse, I walked into a clinic and booked a facial and that’s when I met the Master of Skin, Cathy Radford. “From that moment I was hooked on Cathy’s treatments and became a regular. “She is not only passionate about skin but she makes every woman see that they are beautiful.” Proudly stocking a range of professional, globally recognised skincare products, Vault Skin Lab has been designed to give clients a chance to be transported to a place of total relaxation. A leading injectables doctor also visits the clinic regularly. “Try one of our custom facials or body and face packages, I assure you, you will not be disappointed,” Cathy recommends. “We are also nestled in the heart of Sanctuary Cove Marine Village, so you can grab lunch and enjoy some retail therapy before or after your treatment.” Phone 07 5649 6763 to make an appointment.

VISIONARY SURGERY How World War II helped modernise cataract surgery.
Couching for Cataract. Image courtesy: Wikipedia.
WORDS DR LOUISE ROBINSON CATARACT SURGERY is one of the most common and successful transplant procedures today. It has the highest quality of life improvement for the lowest cost, relative to hip, knee, or heart surgery. A cataract is the change in consistency of the eye’s natural lens, which sits behind the iris (the coloured part of the eye). The development of a cataract typically shifts a person’s perception of the colour spectrum: whites become yellows, blues darken, and subtle shades of colours are rendered indistinguishable. Advances in technology and important observations, as well as human perseverance, have allowed us to enjoy two critical treatment technologies: phaco-emulsification – the use of ultrasound technology to break up the diseased lens – and implantable artificial lenses. However, this has not always been the case. The value of eyesight has always been important. In 2250 BC, vision was a matter of survival, with hunting, gathering and combat being integral to life. In those days, it was thought a cataract was an abscess (infection) in the eye, presumably when the natural lens turned white and therefore the person had no vision. At this time, the king of Babylon made a law: ‘that if a man opens an abscess (in the eye) of a man with a bronze lancet and saves that man’s eye, he shall receive ten shekels of silver.’ The bronze lancet was later replaced by a sharp needle, as first described in 800 BC by an Indian ophthalmologist.

This method of ‘operating’ was known as ‘couching’ which comes from the French word coucher, meaning ‘to put to bed’. However, it was far from ‘put to bed’, as the operation was commonly fraught with infection, chronic inflammation and glaucoma, all of which result in a blind eye. If the patient managed to avoid these complications, the natural lens was not replaced with any form of glasses and their vision remained extremely blurry. It wasn’t until 1268, when the average life expectancy edged beyond 40, that presbyopia (the loss of the natural lens’ ability to change shape in order to focus on near objects) became more commonplace. Roger Bacon, a monk who studied mathematics, physics and philosophy, discovered that a convex lens allowed people to focus on near objects. The first glasses were made in Murano, Venice, by the famous glass blowers of Italy. A number of changes in cataract removal technique occurred soon after, the procedure involving ‘squeezing the mature lens’ out of a large incision in the eye which was not sewn closed. The patient was left bed-bound until the wound healed, head held in place with sand bags to prevent movement. Again, no lens was placed in the eye and the patient was left with permanently blurred vision. A solution did not arise until the Second World War, when Dr Harold Ridley observed a Royal Air Force Hurricane fighter pilot whose plane’s
windscreen had shattered in combat, leaving shattered pieces of plastic in his eyes. R i d l ey n o te d t h a t t h e p l ex i g l a s s polymethylmethacrylate pieces of the windscreen did not cause inflammation and were not ‘rejected’ by the eye. He then made the leap to use this material to fashion a lens that could be placed in the eye, avoiding the need for ‘coke bottle’ glasses. In 1949, Dr Ridley performed the first intraocular lens implantation at St Thomas’ Hospital in London. In 1952, he presented his new surgical technique and use of his intraocular lens, receiving much criticism and opposition at the time. Thankfully, he was encouraged by the Europeans, Americans, and Russians, later receiving numerous awards for his pioneering advancements. It wasn’t until just before Dr Ridley’s death in 2001 that he was finally knighted in delayed recognition for his contributions to eye health. Research and technological advancement have continued to improve cataract surgery, making it more efficient and effective whilst allowing for the implantation of lenses which can alleviate the need for spectacles in many patients. Coastal Eye Surgeons, located at Hope Island, can assess your cataracts and help tailor treatment that would best suit your eyes and lifestyle.

PERFECT SOLUTIONS GC Dental Solutions offer high-quality dentistry in a boutique setting. GC DENTAL SOLUTIONS lead dentist Dr Michael Sempf boasts over 25 years’ experience in the industry and has a unique and distinct vision for his Helensvale clinic. “I didn’t want to create just another stock standard dental clinic,” he explains. “When a patient enters our practice for the first time, I want them to know instantly that this clinic is different.” The waiting room at GC Dental Solutions has been designed to feel more like a hotel foyer, not a traditional clinical setting. “The intention of this is twofold,” Dr Sempf says. “Firstly, the relaxed lounge setting puts nervous minds at ease. “And just as important, I want them to know that they are in a place they will be taken care of, a place they can receive quality dentistry by someone they can trust.” The clinic offers the full range of dental ser vices, however, Dr Sempf ’s specif ic interest lies in the provision of dental implant treatment.
Having received advanced training in this field, implant dentistry remains a dominant component of his practice. “We have invested in the latest cone beam CT 3d imaging to assess patient’s anatomy. “This allows us to plan implant treatment with more accuracy and certainty than was previously possible, which translates to safer surgery and better outcomes for our patients. Without doubt, the All on 4 is Dr Sempf's favourite implant procedure. “When appropriate, this can be a lifechanging and an aesthetically rewarding procedure,” he says. “Essentially it involves placing four dental implants into the jaw which then support a full set of teeth. The big attraction for patients is this can occur in just two days, and the surgical component is done when they are asleep. “In general, it is suitable for patients currently wearing full dentures, or those who are soon to lose their teeth.”

SPOTLIGHT ON THE SCENIC RIM One of Lonely Planet’s Top 10 regional destinations to visit in 2022, the wonder of the Scenic Rim is just waiting to be explored. WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHY MARJ OSBORNE WHEN GLOBAL TRAVEL GIANT Lonely Planet revealed its top ten countries, cities and regions to visit in 2022, Queensland’s Scenic Rim was named Number 8 in the list of regions, an exciting coup for the Sunshine State. Defined by a rim of mountains circling the area west of the Gold Coast, the Scenic Rim covers 4,000 square kilometres of land. It is an area of natural beauty and rich resources, the source of a much of our food supply and food tourism, generating over $400 million to our regional economy annually through agriculture and tourism. “Located just one hour south of Brisbane and 30 minutes from the hear t of the Gold Coast, Queensland’s Scenic Rim boasts six national parks, ecolodges, wineries, tantalising gourmet experiences and the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests,” Lonely Planet’s Chris Zeiher said. “From the amazing food and wine to the incredible rainforest and bush walks and memorable places to stay, this is an unexpected pocket of Australia that has it all. “After bouncing back from the 2019 Black Summer bushfires with a raft of new attractions and a renewed focus on sustainability, this lesser-known corner of Queensland is primed to become one of Australia’s low impact tourism power players.” he predicted. “We’re thrilled to see the Scenic Rim included in the world’s best destinations, especially as it’s such an untouched and diverse eco-based Australian destination.” Announced just prior to state borders opening, this honour could not have come at a better time, boosting

hope that the world spotlight will lead to an influx of visitors to the region. For South-east Queensland residents, the Scenic Rim is one of our nearest tourist destinations. Moreover, it is close enough for us to enjoy both day trips and longer holidays, picking off its attractions in comfortable bites. Here are some themes to follow as you discover the region: EXPLORE NATURAL WONDERS Follow any of the area’s walking tracks or the newly opened picturesque Scenic Rim trail to explore spectacular landscapes, plunging waterfalls, national parks and World Heritage-listed Gondwana rainforests. Walk the Rainforest Skywalk on Tamborine Mountain; stay in an ecolodge at Binna Burra or O’Reilly’s, glamp at the Nightfall Wilderness Camp or overnight in a heritage cottage at Mt Barney Lodge. DISCOVER MAN-MADE WONDERS From art galleries and artists’ residences to architecture and museums, there are plenty of manmade attractions to visit in the area. We can experience the land settled by timber cutters and farmers in the 1800s. Early tourism began in the area with the establishment of a guest house in Canungra in 1916, now the site of the Canungra Hotel. It's one of a number of interesting hotels still operating, included in historic country towns such as Mt Alford that carry an attraction all their own.

O’Reilly’s and Binna Burra also both have their own fascinating stories to tell. VISIT GROWERS AND PRODUCERS The Scenic Rim is a large part of the food bowl of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, producing a wide variety of food in its rich alluvial soil. The area is our source of fruit, potatoes, greens, tomatoes, pumpkins, and almost all of Australia’s carrots. We can journey into the Scenic Rim to discover where our food is grown, visiting artisan farmers, growers and producers such as Towri Sheep Cheeses, Tommerup’s Dairy Farm, Scenic Rim 4Real Milk and the Robotic Dairy, Summer Land Camels (Australia’s largest camel dairy and the world’s largest wild camel training centre), Kooroomba Vineyard & Lavender Farm, Mountview Alpaca Farm and the award-winning Tamborine Mountain Coffee. As we travel, we visit farmgate market stalls, weekly farmers’ markets and dedicated farm shops, such as the Scenic Rim Farm Shop or take a cooking class at Scenic Rim Cooking Classes. Arrange a picnic from North Stores to have on your journey. There are also many cafés and restaurants along the way to discover in the Scenic Rim. FOLLOW A BEER AND WINE TRAIL With 17 wineries (including Witches Falls Winery, The Overflow Estate 1895, O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards, Mason Wines, Sarabah Estate Vineyard and Bunjurgen Estate Vineyard), micro-breweries (Fortitude Brewing Company and Scenic Rim Brewery) and distilleries (Tamborine Mountain Distillery and Cauldron Distillery), it’s worth planning your trip well or taking a wine tour of the region, driver and guide included. There’s no better time than now to visit the Scenic Rim. Whether it be to view its spectacular natural beauty, to experience its bountiful harvest, its rich history or its colourful characters, we don’t have to travel far to reach this award-winning destination. So, what are you waiting for.

A Remarkable Year 2021 was a successful year for Gold Coast real estate with record property prices, high demand and a growing population
62 Adm
62 Admiralty Drive, Paradise Waters
T
he time has come again to kick off another year on the Gold Coast and with borders opening up we are able to welcome back families and tourists once more. The last year was a remarkable one for real estate with Queensland seeing exceptionally high demand and the greatest number of interstate migrants since 1996. Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics for the year ending 31 March 2021 showed that Queensland recorded a 43,933 net increase in population with around 70 percent of this growth attributed to those relocating from other states. In the past 12 months, 74 percent of Queensland housing searches from interstate were made up of prospective buyers from NSW and Victoria while 18 percent of the total search activity for Queensland came from NSW, according to data from REA. In particular, the Gold Coast has seen a large percentage of these lifestyle seekers
looking to relocate to the coastal city, with three Gold Coast suburbs at the top of the list for buyers outside of Queensland. Surfers Paradise, Burleigh Heads and Broadbeach are the top three most searched suburbs for interstate buyers. These popular coastal suburbs have seen a surge in popularity over the past year as more relocators look toward a sea-change. Homes on the Gold Coast saw the lowest days on market ever, with CoreLogic’s Regional Market Update showing that the days on market for a Gold Coast home up till August 2021 was down to just 18 days on average, a large decrease from the 37 days recorded 12 months prior. Units also experienced lower days on market, with an average of 26 days compared to the 51 of a year ago. Dwelling values have continued on an upward trajectory with property prices across Australia rising 22.2 percent in the 12 months to November 2021 with approximately 614,635 sales across the country, the highest volume of dwelling sales seen since 2003.

GREEN IS GOOD
Organics and biodynamics are having a profound and positive effect on both the winemaking business and our planet. WORDS TONY HARPER
IN THE MIDST of our failing planet, the organic producers, the biodynamic practitioners, the ‘natural’ farmers and winemakers are looking less like a cult of hippies and more like visionaries. Meanwhile Australia’s coal mines alone are allegedly producing more carbon emission than a small European country. Ouch. But here’s a contrast: in the Margaret River, a few hours south of Perth, Vanya Cullen – the poster-girl for biodynamics – has a vineyard and winery that sequesters more carbon than it produces. It is doing its best to clean up the mess the rest of us are making. For the sake of brevity and ease, I’ll call Organics and Biodynamics, and the muddle that can happen between the two, ‘sensitive farming’. Because that is what it is. It is farming that uses nature to grow life within the soil and achieve balance both within the soil and externally, amongst the leaves and shoots of the vines, between the rows and beyond … into the broader land. Composts, beneficial insects, plants that encourage those insects and help build soil structure, and a general eschewing of chemicals are common between the two practices. Biodynamics takes things further than organics, paying heed to the influence of the moon and

planets on earthly life (and before your eyes glaze over, consider tidal pull, and how the phases of the moon effects the behaviour of fish: every fisherman worth his salt follows the dance of the moon), and employs some almost ritualistic stuff that can’t easily be explained, but that achieve remarkable results. In that way it’s kind of like religion, or yoga, or a microwave: we don’t know how it works … but it does. Prue Henschke (Henschke Wines), the viticultural side of the incredible partnership between herself and husband Stephen, puts it in a nutshell. “Biodynamics is about soil health; building the microbial life of the soil with a range of applications based on the most balanced of all the animal manures – cow manure,” she explains. “It sounds like the aims of regenerative agriculture. It is about adding and building the soil and the plant’s resilience, whereas organics is more about excluding the 'heavy hitting’ chemicals that can throw the natural balance of plant and animal growth out of whack. “Certainly, organic management is much easier where pest and disease threats are low, e.g., in a drier climate, and biodynamics may be more difficult. “That’s where the cosmic influence comes into play – some points in the month are wetter than
others during Spring and it tends to align with the biodynamic Moon opposite Saturn.” It is sympathetic farming that assists nature and, in turn, is assisted. Conventional farming for at least the last century has done more than ignored nature; it has run against it. Herbicides to remove weeds and grasses so the vines have no competition; pesticides to kill the pesky insects (and at the same time killing ladybirds that eat mildews, worms that enrich the soil, micro-life we can’t even see, but that are a vital part of the food chain), then adding fertilisers because the soils are dead (thanks to the herbicides and insecticides); in fact they are not soils any more, they are dirt. And so the cycle continues. It’s more than a decade since I committed myself to drinking from sensitive producers – not solely, but predominately – because their wines simply taste better, and they communicate, far better, the results of the season and the intricacies of the land from which they were sprung. In short … they taste better, more fully, of their place and their grapes. “We now have healthier land hence healthier vines and hence grapes ... better quality wines,” says Vanya Cullen.
Invitation Cove Travel invites you to a special presentation and information event with Silversea Cruises and Abercrombie & Kent.
“We make no additions to our wines because they are balanced on the vines growing from our beautiful biodynamic soils of Wilyabrup.” Prue Henschke gives us a truly deep insight. “It concerned me that we had so much carbon dominant material around the vines, so I investigated the use of compost, initially making it the biodynamic way. “We used a winery waste stream of marc and stalks and cow manure, producing a beautiful rich compost but not enough of it. “The emphasis on mulch, compost and building up the organic matter certainly has helped soil moisture retention and temperature buffering around the vine roots. “It is this impact that has made so much difference to our fruit – more aromatic and better balanced – which shows up in the wines. “It is not so much a difference between the two systems, although I prefer biodynamic management over organics because of the emphasis on soil health, but more about where they have both led me in my vineyard management. “They have both played a role in different ways.” These wonderful ladies are just two of a rapidly growing number of vine growers utilising biodynamic farming, and seeing better wines, better soils, better farming as the result. I have no idea of the statistics, but personal observation tells me that what began as a small movement is well on its way to becoming established practice; the norm. And if, along the way, it helps in our fight to save our critically ill planet … more power to it. I’ll leave you with a wonderfully impassioned quote from Vanya Cullen. “It’s only recently that agriculture has turned chemical and monoculture i.e. 100 years. “When you look at the indigenous cultures and how they farmed sustainable for over 65,000 years it’s a joke. “We constantly come up against why you can’t be organic or biodynamic and how the best/only/easiest way is to poison the land. “You poison the land she poisons you.” Hear!

LEAVE THE BEACH Beyond the clear blue waters of Noosa beach, there is a host of fun to be discovered off the beaten track. WORDS & PHOTOGRAPHY MARJ OSBORNE THE MENTION OF NOOSA HEADS brings images of an idyllic summer holiday. For many, this means Hastings Street, a leafy boulevard stretching out parallel to the beach; a street where visitors and locals wine, dine and shop. Yet Hastings Street has more to tell us. Symbolically, like two pointing arms, it reaches out to the Noosa National Park on one end and Noosa Spit Recreation Reserve on the other, parklands that guard both the headland and the mouth of the Noosa River. Follow that river and you’ll discover a hinterland that’s ‘off the beaten track’. It’s a land rich in natural assets and untouched beauty, full of quaint country villages, prosperous farmland and artisan producers; a land that tells us more about our country than a shopping street. Woombye, the oldest settlement on the Sunshine Coast, formed the halfway stopover on the way to Gympie’s goldfields. Now it holds liquid gold of another kind, thanks to CAVU Distilling, proud makers of Sunshine & Sons spirits. While waiting for their first rum release early in 2022, we can soak up their excellent gin and vodka, distilled over volcanic rocks collected from Sunshine Coast headlands, waterfalls and beaches. Tucked into the hills behind Woombye is Palmwoods, home to Tony Kelly’s third Asian street food restaurant, Piggyback.

With separate gluten-free and vegan menus like its siblings Rice Boi on Mooloolaba Wharf and Giddy Geisha at Maroochydore, the 180-seat Piggyback is notable for its exceptionally creative and tasty food and drinks. Settled in the 1880s as a timber town, the remnants of Cooroy’s history are clearly visible in the town. The Cooroy Mill Place Precinct spanning one side of the main street houses workshop facilities, sculptures and The Butter Factory Arts Centre where you can see local and national artists’ work on display. The Shed, on the outskirts of town, is a coffee shop come vintage wares shop with a lovely garden area. Nearby Copperhead Brewery brews beer for consumption on site only. It is a great place to enjoy a quality meal and local ale. Noosaville is a relaxed holiday destination spread out along the meandering Noosa River. It is common to see couples and families picnicking or walking along the riverbank at sunset, soaking up the tranquility. For restaurant and café dining, there is a plethora of choices scattered along the foreshore, from historical to modern, covering a range of cuisines. Maisie’s, named after local matriarch Maisie Massoud, whose family fish and chip shop on that site was a favourite dining place for troops during World War II and the Great Depression,
the floating restaurant Noosa Boathouse tied up on the riverbank since the 2000 Olympics, or Sum Yung Guys, co-owned by 2016 MasterChef runner-up Matt Sinclair, which offers some of our best modern Asian cuisine, are just a few of the dining options available. If you are in self-catering accommodation, there are two food destinations you should not miss. Noosa Farmer’s Market, held every Sunday morning on the AFL grounds, is one of the best food markets we’ve visited. It is the foodie alternative to the more eclectic Eumundi Markets, which are also worth a visit. Belmondo’s Organic Market, in Noosaville’s industrial precinct, is a thriving hub of organic food, produce, coffee and wellness products. Visit Belmondo’s for a great meal and coffee, leave with a bag of organic produce under your arm, or be inspired in the creation of your next meal. It’s an unmissable foodie experience. Noosa boasts three distilleries and seven breweries, including Boiling Pot Brewing Co. and Land & Sea Brewery, housed under the same roof as Noosa Heads Distillery, the area’s first distillery. Diners are spoiled for choice with drinks from either the brewery (beer) or the distillery (gin or vodka). We recommend pairing their Asian-inspired meals with Fortune Pho Gin … it’s totally cool. >>

Noosa Junction, the midpoint between Noosaville and Hastings Street, has undergone a rejuvenation in the last few years. Now filled with trendy cafés, eateries and restaurants, it offers an array of world flavours from tapas to tostadas and tacos, Japanese and Korean to Malaysian, fine French cuisine, homemade pasta, spicy laksas, rendangs and Thai curries to modern Indian and vegan. It’s all here. Further north, Boreen Point is the gateway to a wilderness experience for adventurers and canoers who cross Lake Cootharaba and travel up one of the estuaries to Harry’s Hut or venture into the Noosa Everglades, one of sixty distinct ecosystems in the greater Noosa area. With 44 per cent of all Australian birdlife species found in this area, it’s little wonder that this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is a favourite with birdwatchers, nature lovers and adventurers. If you take the scenic route north from Tewantin to Gympie, you will pass through Kin Kin, where fifth-generation chef and farmer Jodie Williams has put the Kin Kin General Store and café restaurant on the culinary map. It’s the ‘little store that has it all’, the thriving Black Ant Gourmet licensed café, a farm shop of local organic produce and pantry items, the business also fulfilling the role of Kin Kin Post Office. Home to Queensland’s first meadery, Amrita Park Meadery, Pomona was once the original hub of the shire. Named after the Roman goddess of orchards and gardens, this rich, fertile area is now a hinterland town with vintage and craft shops, art galleries and cafés. Converting a 100-year-old bakery into the Pomona Distilling Co., original brickwork and reclaimed timber beams from the Kin Kin bridge have been used to create a beautifully rustic garden arbour, a stillhouse with sparkling stills and the handmade bar and bistro. Taking the time to chill over lunch in the garden pavilion at Pomona Distilling Co. you can’t help but wonder whether you are taking part in a photoshoot for ‘Country Style’. In a community of riverside and hinterland villages surrounding Noosa Heads, there is so much to see, do, eat and enjoy. Next time you visit the Sunshine Coast, take the time to seek out a Noosa experience off the beaten track.

SCREEN-TIME VS TURTLES Cairns provides families with the chance to step away from the screens and dive into nature.
WORDS BROOKE LOWTHER SCREEN-TIME VS TURTLES. Just to be clear … this is not the title of a video game. Quite the opposite. When I hear parents talking now, I usually wait for the conversation to move to the words ‘screentime’ followed by a sigh and an excuse as to why their child is sitting playing on a device while they are complaining about it. As a kid of the ‘90s, building cubby houses, bike riding through the streets of Shailer Park and Daisy Hill and finding ourselves exploring creeks and terrorising the neighbours was a part of every weekend. Gameboy and Nintendo on the old Atari were in most households at that stage, however, we rarely felt the urge to use them. Now, I get frustrated talking about the increasing use of screens to entertain our kids because, as a parent, I feel the responsibility and power lies with us. It is our job to guide and educate and to help shape the adults of tomorrow. I wanted to challenge the status quo, so when I had another opportunity to travel to Cairns, I decided to take my 12-year-old daughter with us. I really thought about what I wanted this trip to look like.

I searched for accommodation that had great facilities that would cater to children, as well as adults, and decided on The Pullman Palm Cove. We checked in on Friday evening, leaving Brisbane after school and work was done and dusted. We enjoyed large rooms, and the apartment mimicked unit-style living – perfect when travelling with children. First stop was dinner and we decided to try the in-house restaurant, Temple of Tastes. With a delicious Southeast Asian menu, it was just that – a temple of absolute taste. I had looked at all the adventure activities we could possibly fit in, including time around the hotel itself. We took advantage of their free bike hire, spending an evening cycling to the end of the peninsula and back. The rooftop barbecue and private sauna also had us staying in and cooking up a delicious meal. I then went on the hunt for activities around Cairns that would take my daughter’s experiences to the next level. I found a fantastic child-friendly all-day boat adventure that was very affordable. It incorporated snorkelling and scuba diving and also offered an introductory course to diving for children 12 years and above … perfect.
The company, Ocean Freedom, is run by a family who has lived in the region for over 25 years, and this fully-catered day on the water, island hopping, was just what I was after. However, what I was looking forward to the most was seeing how my daughter would be on the boat trip. She was extremely hesitant to go snorkelling because of her fear of sharks, but once we jumped in and went under the sea before kicking along the surface, she was in another world. With back-to-back activities, our three days at the Pullman Palm Cove were such a treat. The food and service were 5-star and the luxury of bike riding and swimming had my daughter’s name written all over it. And my name was written all over the Vie Spa, where I had a full body massage and facial. I think gliding out of there at the end of the stay was exceptional. The adventures at The Pullman Palm Cove and the experience of snorkelling with Ocean Freedom was a trip we will all never forget. A chance to put down the screens and bond with nature, but, most importantly, bond with each other.

SMOOTH SALOON The Maserati Ghibli Hybrid GranSport offers drivers an enviable combination of Italian design, power and performance. WORDS CHRIS NIXON IF YOU WANT TRUE Italian motoring heritage without joining the Red Brigade (or the Lime Green Lairs)*, look no further than Maserati. It’s existed since 1914. Maserati won the Formula 1 World Championship in 1957 with Juan Manuel Fangio and the singleseater regarded as the most beautiful racing car ever, the 250F. It enjoyed many other motorsport successes before and after World War 2, and although racing had faded by the 1960s it set the pattern for future generations of road cars that continue today. Maserati took a different direction to its rival Ferrari, diversifying from sports and grand touring cars into high-performance saloons, starting with the elegant Quattroporte of 1963. You can still buy a Quattroporte (simply ‘QP’ to the cognoscenti), but it's a big, expensive – exclusive – car and more sales fall to its smaller sibling and subject of this review, the Ghibli. No-one should feel short-changed by driving a Maserati that’s a sedan. To my eye, it's the best-looking four-door currently for sale, except for the even more handsome QP. While other makes fiddle with crass chromium grilles and other exaggerated bodywork features, Italians like Maserati retain their vision for beautiful design. In fact, a salesman told me the Ghibli’s look is one of its strongest selling points, even though some critics have found the model lacking in objective performance comparisons with German rivals in the executive class. Each to his own. I found the Ghibli Hybrid GranSport a tempting machine. This is not least because the opening list price for a Maserati is now a comparatively modest $139,990. The variant reviewed for Cove, however, was the top-line GranSport priced at $163,900. But the core of this Ghibli, literally and emotionally, is the hybrid engine. It's a four-cylinder petrol unit – Maserati’s first in many decades – of two litres capacity, boosted by a turbocharger and an electric hybrid system running a supercharger. This doesn't pretend to be a full-fledged Electric Vehicle – that will come all too soon – but instead captures kinetic energy generated during acceleration and braking and stores it in a battery to power the supercharger when the engine calls for extra shove. This results in claimed peak power of 243 kiloWatts and 450 Newtonmetres of torque, 0-100 acceleration in 5.7 seconds and top speed of 255 kmh.

– Issue 88
That’s more than brisk enough for most drivers, but the more important impression is how it handles. The electric supercharger, said to be a unique Maserati feature, dips in and out of the game so seamlessly the driver doesn't know it’s working except by a powerful but smooth shove in the back. Power is always on tap with just a brush of the accelerator and it’s never harsh or raucous. The engine does sound tast y for a fourcylinder, however. Turbochargers and superchargers tend to dull engine sound, but the Ghibli Hybrid when pushed sounds satisfying and like something much bigger. Officially-tested petrol consumption gets no lower than 8.5 litres per 100 kms, confirming this hybrid is designed for performance, not ultra-economy. Power is delivered through an eight-speed automatic transmission with the now-usual fingertip shift paddles behind the steering wheel. On fat Italian Pirelli tyres – well, what else? – and employing Maserati’s long-standing automatic shock absorber system aptly called Skyhooks, the Ghibli grips the road confidently and churns through corners in proper sports sedan fashion. It feels substantial and is not a car to be thrown around on tight roads, but driven as intended it’s highly capable. Ride comfort, too, is unexpectedly smooth and quiet. It helps no doubt to be riding in the Ghibli’s magnificent cabin. Again, it’s quintessentially Italian with soft, aromatic leather crafted into superbly comfortable seating and trim. It’s not especially spacious in the rear compartment, but so cossetting it hardly matters. All the usual safety, driving and comfort features are included in the price, while the review car included a range of cosmetic enhancements such as blackchrome accents and Maserati’s iconic trident badge embroidered in the front seat headrests. The Ghibli Hybrid is perhaps a slightly surprising experience. I didn't expect a four-cylinder hybrid to drive with such power or extraordinary smoothness. Its great looks and interior comfort were expected. Every drive was a pleasure. (*Red Brigade – Ferrari, of course. Lime Green Lairs is less obvious, but describes owners of raucous Lamborghinis with a penchant for lime green paintwork.)

MARKET
APPRAISAL
Cool change to give the property market a breather.
WORDS NICK NICHOLS A COOLING OF THE national housing market has been forecast for 2023 by Australia’s major banks, and this is seen as a welcome breather for property prices. However, even the most pessimistic outlook highlights expectations of a soft rather than hard landing – and, even then, this will come after another round of growth in 2022. In other words, the property market still has some wind in its sails. That’s understandable after a stellar 2021 when capital city prices nationally grew more than 21 per cent. The Commonwealth Bank of Australia’s (CBA) head of economics, Gareth Aird, offered shock value with his forecast for house prices in 2023 with expectations of a 10 per cent fall. Westpac’s Bill Evans calculates a 5 per cent fall, in line with the NAB at 5 per cent and ANZ at 4 per cent. Mr Aird recently changed his outlook of modest gains in 2023 due largely to rising affordability constraints and potential interest rate rises.
82 covemagazine.com.au
– Issue 88
The Reserve Bank of Australia is widely expected to lift interest rates in 2023, and that is reflected in major banks increasing their fixed mortgage rates. CBA and AMP Capital are predicting a rate rise as early as November 2022. However, taking a closer look at the CBA’s dour forecasts for house prices in Australia’s capital cities, it’s hard to ignore that Brisbane is the only market expected to eke out a marginal gain over the next two years. CBA is expecting a relatively modest gain of 7 per cent for combined Australian capitals over the next 12 months, although the pace of growth markedly differs between cities. Perth is expected to show the weakest growth at 3 per cent in 2022 and then pull back 9 per cent in 2023. For Sydney, CBA sees an increase of 6 per cent in 2022, followed by a 12 per cent drop next year. However, Brisbane is expected to see gains of 9 per cent this year, followed by an 8 per cent fall in 2023.
In percentage terms, that makes Brisbane the only capital city that is expected to remain in positive territory over the next two years. Opinions from the experts may vary on other markets, but the consensus indicates south-east Queensland remains the one to watch. It’s worth noting that forecasting property prices is difficult, and more so in these times when so many variables are in play. And it should be remembered that the major banks had widely forecast a housing slump in 2020 as the pandemic lockdowns began to bite, only to change their tune as the market did the opposite. AMP chief economist Shane Oliver, who is tipping a 7 per cent rise in 2022, is also among Australia’s leading economists who see interest rates rising in November 2022 creating softer market conditions in 2023. However, Dr Oliver is also hedging his bets by underscoring the impact of a return to normalised international immigration by then and the impact of macro prudential tightening measures to halt credit growth.
Either way, Dr Oliver is predicting that the Australian property market could be at the end of its 25-year bull run and he sees this as a positive, arguing that a ‘gradually rising level of home prices in line with growth in the economy is healthy and positive for the wealth of existing property owners’. CoreLogic recently looked closely at affordability of housing in Australia, revealing that while wages increased 81.7 per cent in the past 20 years, Australian home values have grown at more than twice that pace by 193.1 per cent. CoreLogic researcher Eliza Owen shines some light on the disparity between wages growth and property price rises from one region to the next in Australia. “The difference in growth rates is most exacerbated in Tasmania over the past two decades,” said Ms Owen.
“Property values across Tasmania have risen almost 300 per cent in the past 20 years, compared to an 84 per cent rise in the wage price index (which measures changes in the ‘price’ of wages and salaries over time).” This analysis highlights how much regional markets have grown in value during the pandemic. The PropTrak Regional Australia Report looks at the growth in 2021 and offers a particularly upbeat view of the south-east Queensland market which is being driven by the biggest influx of interstate migration in two decades. “The Gold and Sunshine Coasts were the most searched regional areas in the country from September 2020 to September 2021, and the most ‘in demand’ according to activity from highly engaged prospective buyers on realestate.com.au,” says the report, which
is authored by PropTrak senior economist Eleanor Creagh. “Housing affordability varies considerably across Queensland, but with the ratio of housing prices in Greater Sydney to Queensland increasing to more than two times (and even more for regional areas), the Sunshine State still retains an affordability advantage over south-east-coast capitals Sydney and Melbourne.” Ms Creagh does offer a word of caution for some of the hottest regional markets, though. “The effect of housing prices on migration also means that the attractiveness of regional areas is likely to diminish in the future if housing prices in regional areas increase proportionally more than in capital cities. “In some regions, that affordability advantage is already being quickly compressed.”

2021 MARKET UPDATE WITH STEVE HUNT | MEDIAHUNT.COM.AU
Iris Capital's V&A, Broadbeach
PROPERTY PROMISE Watershed year rolls into 2022.
WHAT A WATERSHED YEAR 2021 was for the Gold Coast property and development sector – I have never experienced anything like it in more than 30 years. Through my own stable of development clientele, we oversaw the launch of some $10 billion in new projects both on the Gold Coast and throughout Queensland. It was a record setting year punctuated by enormous price growth, new projects selling out as quickly as they are delivered to market, a population boom, and investment explosion from the southern state developers who have arrived for party. Under the spectre of the pandemic, the Gold Coast has been the beacon of hope in an uncertain landscape, becoming a key beneficiary of the ‘Covid phenomenon’ which has seen retirement and lifestyle plans fast tracked to produce an unprecedented surge in demand for high end living in the country’s most coveted lifestyle destination.
84 covemagazine.com.au
– Issue 88
The heart of the Gold Coast is getting a much needed revamp with Iris Capital delivering one of the most anticipated projects seen on the central Gold Coast in more than a decade, unveiling its visionary $800 million residential and commercial project, V&A Broadbeach. Surfers Paradise will also be transformed by SPG Lands’ $800 million ‘next generation’ mega-development, Paradiso Place, which is set to update the heart of the suburb into an urban oasis of residential, dining and retail extravagance. Alongside these brilliant projects comes ‘Greenwich’, a New York inspired residential development by Ention Properties, which has already sold both top floor penthouses in a record breaking $4.25 million sale in Chevron Island. Further down south, Melbourne-based developer Hirsch & Faigen has started construction on two of its projects, Hemingway in Palm Beach and Emerson in Kirra Beach.
The powerhouse team has also recently lodged the DA to its latest residential tower in Mermaid Beach, which will feature 146 luxury apartments. S&S Projects has fast tracked the construction of its $130 million residential ‘Wellness’ building, Esprit, lodged plans for a first ever hotel for The Collective site at Palm Beach and sold out of its Flow and Awaken projects at Rainbow Bay. Alongside the exponential property growth in the Gold Coast, Pikos Group launched the luxurious $200 million Skye Apartments in the sought-after Brisbane suburb of Kangaroo Point and is set to embark on another project in Lambert Street known as La Storia. This comes as Mulpha International released its Hayman Estate luxury villas (starting at $4.75 million) to which we achieved some $2.7 million in media value as the story was spread across prime-time TV news slots around the country.

Now firmly pinned on the map, the Gold Coast will continue to shine as a beacon for coastal idyl for those even further beyond our border. As we inch towards the promise of a 90 per cent vaccination rate and look to the next phase of post-Covid migration, 2022 is almost certain to bring an unbelievable amount of growth to the city. Developers – both local and interstate – are circling the wagons for fresh sites to tap into this incredible demand for new residential apartment offerings in the genuine belief that the party has only just begun. As if Southeast Queensland needed a further shot in the arm to drive our economy, the announcement that we have secured the Olympics in 2032 surely places us into a golden decade. Our upcoming year is set to be strong with numerous clients taking advantage of the increasing appetite for sunshine.
Hirsch & Faigen's Emerson, Kirra
Here’s a snapshot of what’s to come in 2022: • Iris Capital’s $800 million ‘V&A Broadbeach’ is welcomed with furore to the market. • Buyers make the move on SPG Land’s $800 million ‘Paradiso Place’. • Melbourne-based Hirsch & Faigen is set to launch its latest project in Mermaid Beach, following consecutive sell-outs in its 2021 Gold Coast debut projects. • Melbourne heavy-hitter Beckdev gears up to launch it’s highly anticipated $130 million Coolangatta ‘Palais’ as the southern Gold Coast reawakens for a supreme reign. • Brisbane-based Pikos Group prepares to release its next set of 75 luxury apartments inspired by Singapore’s landmark Marina Bay Sands, in the heart of Kangaroo Point. • Southport’s most spectacular $2.3 billion development, Azzura Investment’s ‘Imperial Square’, gets set for the launch of stage
two following the stage one sell-out of ‘Regal Residences’. • S &S Project’s unveils its vision for a sophisticated hotel offering in the heart of Palm Beach. • Tasman Holiday Parks continues its expansion across Australasia with the acquisition of assets in key holiday destinations as the tourism industry resurges. • T he Broadbeach market welcomes Turrisi Property’s lush ‘Armrick House’, a subtropical retreat set in the centre of the coastal living mecca. • Having toppled its Hope Island investment over the $500 million mark, Aniko Group is surging forward with a visionary townhouse project at 10-12 Sickle Avenue. All property indicators are pointing to a prosperous and healthy 2022.

Located on the iconic Surfers Paradise shoreline north of Elkhorn Avenue, the 19-storey tower will feature a collection of just 12 exclusive full-floor oceanview residences and two opulent three-level penthouses. With a starting price of $3.45 million for a full-floor residence, this is a rare opportunity to own 16m of uninterrupted frontage directly facing the Pacific Ocean and beach. The concept was to create a truly boutique offering where luxury reaches infinite heights.

Each modern classic residence has been meticulously crafted to perfection, where expansive rooms are gilded with masterful touches to provide a seven-star sanctuary that welcomes and enthrals in equal measure. The apartments will have the finest finishes, with natural stone benchtops, and gold fixtures and features throughout. Each full-floor apartment will offer three bedrooms and a multi-purpose room, or four bedrooms and three bathrooms. There are also vast open plan living and dining areas, a study, a stone kitchen with a separate laundry room and your own private lift lobby.
The developer, ASF Group, enlisted the expertise of the Sydney-based interior design legend Greg Natale to craft the interiors. A superb interplay of form and function, the kitchen boasts marble benchtops, superior appliances and lustrous designer features that make preparation and presentation an absolute pleasure. Every bathroom is pure perfection – the ultimate haven in which to unwind and soak up every divine detail. In addition to the stunning interiors, the AU’s breathtaking panoramas will have you floating on air, while the first class inclusions are truly spectacular.
The resident amenity is located on podium level, with a gym and residents' lounge space, which sit beside the infinity pool that looks out across the sand and ocean. This level also features a barbecue and dining facilities, along with a sauna, ideal for unwinding after a few laps in the pool. The AU’s all-day concierge service is on-hand to assist at all hours, whether that involves helping with the daily basics or taking care of unexpected emergencies. And, naturally, all the conveniences of Gold Coast living such as restaurants, retail precincts and beaches are right on your doorstep.

DIVE STRAIGHT IN
123OBR is the Broadbeach residential project redefining the meaning of ‘Pool House’.
WITH A GRAND double-storey 444 square metre residence made up of elegant finishes and bespoke details, 123OBR’s Pool House offers a boundless sense of space. The welcoming entrance is set on the ground floor, providing residents the unique luxury of entering their new home through their own private verandah – an ode to the historic Queenslander which provided ample inspiration in the ideation process. The Pool House is just one of 14 new fullfloor and multi-floor homes included in the development project on 123 Old Burleigh Road, proving to be more a vertical village than a traditional residential tower. The project is an ambitious collaboration between Brisbane-based developer Bottega Group and world-renowned architecture firm Woods Bagot, certain to raise the stakes for luxury living on the Gold Coast. Its iconic nautical design nods to its coveted coastal location, as the building’s articulated slab edges appear to onlookers as a grand ship. This proud bow design is shaped to provide privacy for residents while still maintaining sweeping views across the horizon and hinterland. Unlike the other residences, the Pool House encompasses its very own private pool with an adjoining sun deck as well as a private garden terrace accessible through two of the five bedrooms.

An upper-level master suite offers a substantial walk-in-robe, alongside another two spacious bedrooms, each with their own private en-suites. The open plan kitchen, dining, and indooroutdoor living space offers plentiful opportunity for generous social gatherings, while other separate living areas equally allow for quiet, private retreats. Below ground lies a four-car garage as well as sufficient storage for surfboards that residents will no doubt have in tow. Internally, Woods Bagots’s interior designers have married relaxed textures with opulent finishes, paying meticulous attention to all the finer details. Extra high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and oversized spaces allow the Pool House to be flooded with natural sunlight year-round. World class craftsmanship is ubiquitous, from the 150-year-old French Oak hardwood timber floors to the custom champagne brass finishes, natural stone benchtops, 100 per cent wool carpets and bespoke warm lighting. This is the definition of luxury living. V-Zug was the natural choice for all the kitchen and laundry appliances because of its trademark Swiss efficiency along with its commitment to sustainability, timeless aesthetic, user-friendly interfaces, and durability. The list of premium appliances is extensive, including a 60cm Combair Pyrolytic Oven, Steam Oven, Warming Drawer, Vacuum Drawer, Built-In
Coffee Machine, 72 bottle Wine Cabinet and a Refresh Butler that allows the resident to dry clean clothes at home, to name just a few. V-Zug is the only company in its industry in the world which develops and manufactures most of its product range in Switzerland, and are increasingly focused on conserving natural resources, having achieved 100 per cent carbon neutrality since 2020. “123OBR features some classic beach house features wrapped up in an elevated, modern design that exudes the opulence of beachside living,” explains NPA Projects director Andrew Erwin. “The divide of public and private areas in the home sees all living spaces facing east encapsulating ocean views, while the private sleeping pods are located at the hinterland end of the building providing a cosy, private escape conducive to rest and relaxation. “In true beach house-style, residents enter their beach home via the verandah, a space which effortlessly mediates the transition between public and private but also acts as a habitable breezeway that takes advantage of the elevated views, lights and sub-tropical climate.” Priced at $4,990,000, the Pool House is currently under construction, expected to be complete in 2023.

ROYALE LIFESTYLE
Royale Gold Coast takes absolute beachfront living to a whole new level.
ROYALE GOLD COAST, a signature development planned for a prime absolute beachfront site at prestigious Northcliffe Terrace, will incorporate a limited number of luxury three and four- bedroom apartments on the lower levels to optimise the unobstructed beach views. While tower developments normally reserve only the top floors for prestige apartments, DD Living has taken a rare design approach by placing a collection of luxury apartments on the lower floors of Royale Gold Coast. “It is from my own experience that I have come to understand the value of premium penthousesize apartments being on the lower floors when living directly on the beach,” said DD Living CEO David Devine. “While it is nice to enjoy the wide-open ocean views and tranquillity of a sky home or penthouse, there are many people who prefer living on the lower floors to enjoy views of the beach, but still want to live in a premium, subpenthouse style apartment.” Occupying the ground floor and Level 1, the project’s five-star lifestyle amenities include Royale Beach Club with two separate swimming pools, cabanas and day lounges looking out

over the beach, outdoor barbecues and a dining terrace, as well as the Royale Wellness Centre featuring a gymnasium, spa, sauna, steam room, yoga and pilates terrace. Also on these levels are the beachside Café Royale, plus Club Royale, a resident only’ club with an executive lounge, bar, whiskey and wine lockers, private dining and kitchen, meeting rooms and workspaces with an oceanfront terrace. Royale Gold Coast steps up from the extensive world-class lifestyle facilities to luxury apartments from Level 2 to Level 5, incorporating only eight large 335-350sqm luxury apartments (two per floor) across the lower levels of this elegantlydesigned 38-level building. Priced from $4.9 million, these luxury lowerlevel residences are unlike anything available in the Gold Coast’s prestige property market and are a limited opportunity in this new $370 million signature collection of 104 elegantly-appointed two, three and four-bedroom private residences, sky homes and penthouses. “We worked with DKO Architecture, who are leaders in residential design, to create a luxury apartment building with a collection of private residences that encapsulate the exclusivity and
prestige of living right on Northcliffe Terrace beachfront on the Gold Coast,” said Mr Devine. DKO Architecture has incorporated large lowerlevel luxury apartments that take in the breathtaking beach views from every apartment, with luxury floorplans featuring gourmet kitchens and butler’s pantries, multi-purpose rooms, elegantly-appointed master bedrooms with expansive walk-in robes, ensuited bedrooms and powder rooms for guests. Vast open-plan living areas extend out to large entertainer’s balconies, referred to as loggias, which are indoor-outdoor all-weather entertaining spaces. “The tower projects a luxurious, laid-back feel to promote a sophisticated coastal lifestyle, with the apartment configuration designed in response to Royale’s incredible location right on the beach,” said DKO Architecture Principal and founding partner Koos de Keijzer. “Walking into these apartments with their striking open floorplans framing panoramic views of Northcliffe Beach will take anyone’s breath away.” Luxury bespoke interiors by award-winning Australian interior architecture design studio Mim Design are carried throughout the building, featuring timeless and elegant craftsmanship to take Royale Gold Coast to the next level.
Luxury apartment marketing agency TOTAL Property Group is managing the sales of Royale Gold Coast’s private residences, reporting strong expressions of interest from prestige property buyers who have secured $150 million worth of apartments within 10 weeks. “Royale Gold Coast presents a rare opportunity to own a luxury apartment directly on the beach in one of the Gold Coast’s most exclusive areas,” said TOTAL Property Group Managing Director and Royale Gold Coast Marketing Manager Adrian Parsons. With an average price of $3million, the luxury apartments have attracted buyers from the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and New Zealand. The majority are Gold Coast locals, most of whom plan to downsize from their larger homes to live in a spacious, well-appointed absolute beachfront apartment. “The sales results of $150 million achieved is a credit to the high level of quality and amenity that DD Living will be delivering and the rare absolute beachfront location of Royale Gold Coast.” Mr Parsons said. royalegc.com.au

FASHION & FUNCTION
Fashion-driven leather sofas that marry unique designs with functionality.
KELVIN GIORMANI, a top sofa-craf ter of international renown, has broken new grounds in a collaborative sofa design project with an Italian design master Michele Mantovani. Well known for creating innovative designs through international collaboration, Kelvin Giormani has won multiple awards in the furniture industry, including the prestigious Pinnacle Design Achievement Award presented by The American Society of Furniture Designers (ASFD). The company’s high quality, fashion-led leather sofas are characterised by their distinctive shapes, as well as their leather crafting details – features that are more commonly found on fine fashion goods like bags and shoes than on furniture. “In terms of design we have two major concepts,” Kelvin said. “One is special shapes – curves, layers … details that are not very commonly seen on a typical contemporary style European sofa.

“Another concept is our leather crafting features. “We are known for our fashion-driven leather craftmanship, like weaving, perforation and stitching. “These are things that you would normally see on fashion goods like shoes, handbags and clothing, but not so much on furniture. “We are one of the very few furniture brands to do this.” Kelvin Giormani recently teamed up with eminent Italian Michele Mantovani in creating the latest legendary series of sofas. From his personal workshop, Mantovani has provided a vast range of services in architecture, interior design, furniture and graphic design, with clients spanning the world, including Asia, America, Italy, Spain, Russia, and more. “For the last eight years, I’ve been the one designing most of the collection in Kelvin Giormani, and I wanted to bring more design talent, and a greater variety of design, to the brand,” Kelvin said.
“So far, Michele has designed four sofa models for Kelvin Giormani, namely Sahara, Navona, Manhattan and Greg. “The first two are electrical motion recliners. “The other two models are stationary products – Manhattan has a special shape, is modular, and features decorative parts. “Greg has a unique little angle, and a functional tray at the side, so it’s a little bit uneven but at the same time it’s functional and special. “In my discussions with Michele, I asked him to incorporate certain shapes that are not commonly found in the market, but to also consider the functionality. These designs are in a clean, minimal style, which opens us up even more to the international market.” Discover more about Kelvin Giormani’s Michele Mantovani collection at Design Initial Gold Coast and Brisbane. designinitial.com.au

CAPRICORN 23 Dec – 20 Jan
The new moon supermoon on January 3 will kickstart a fresh phase in your personal life, especially for early January Capricorns. Singles look out – you may find your match! You'll appreciate the opportunity to create a stronger platform for yourself in 2022, starting now.
by Patsy Bennett | For readings, see www.patsybennett.com
TAURUS 21 Apr – 21 May
VIRGO 24 Aug – 23 Sept
AQUARIUS 21 Jan – 19 Feb
GEMINI 22 May – 21 Jun
The theme of renewal will be prevalent in January, so be prepared to reinvent your life, especially your relationships, as so much of your happiness comes from these. In 2022, you'll turn a corner in your love life and feel more inclined to socialise and network, beginning now!
LIBRA 24 Sept – 23 Oct
January is excellent for boosting your health and to kick bad habits that resurfaced over the festive season. However, you may experience stress points in relationships over the next two months and will benefit from showing a compassionate approach both to yourself and others.
PISCES 20 Feb – 20 Mar
CANCER 22 Jun – 23 Jul
SCORPIO 24 Oct – 22 Nov
ARIES 21 Mar – 20 Apr
LEO 24 Jul – 23 Aug
SAGITTARIUS 23 Nov – 22 Dec
Already in January, you'll see commitments, duties and interests in a new light. Relationships and responsibilities are due for considerable change in 2022, and January and February are ideal months to set the scene for the way you wish to continue through the year.
Bountiful Jupiter in your sign will buoy your confidence and kudos and even potentially your financial status. You'll embrace fresh options that will boost your happiness, as opportunities will enable you to broaden horizons in your skillsets and potentially also via travel.
In 2022, your domestic realm will set the scene for much change such as a move, travel or renovation. The first two months of the year are ideal for setting goals. Changes at home will affect your work prospects and vice versa, so plan and strategise for changes in both areas.
