A PLACE TO CALL HOME: ELARA PROVES POPULAR

Stockland’s latest release of 31 new land lots in its Elara masterplanned community has been popular among first homebuyers and those looking to upgrade, with nearly 80 per cent of lots sold over 48 hours.

The new release includes land in the Elara Place residential precinct, providing lot sizes ranging from 260 to 420 square metres – the largest land release for Elara Place since its launch earlier this year.

Within Elara’s newest neighbourhood, the community has convenient access to major transport links, making it easy to travel to city centres in Blacktown, Parramatta, and the Sydney CBD.

Young couple James and Ainsley (pictured on cover), who purchased in the first release, are looking forward to moving into

their new home in the Elara Place neighbourhood.

“We chose Elara Place to be close to our family, and the area is so picturesque and offers a great quality of life, so it feels like an easy transition. We’re excited to settle there and can see ourselves calling it home for at least the next 10 years,” said James.

Stockland Project Director, Alex Koerber, said there has been a high level of interest from existing Elara residents who want to remain in the community.

“More than half of the lots sold in the first stage of Elara Place were purchased by existing Elara homeowners. The range of housing options and lot sizes means there’s been strong demand and a high level of enquiry from first homebuyers looking for affordable options, upgraders looking to build larger homes for their

growing families, and families who are wanting to build homes for multigenerational living with shared spaces for their immediate and extended family,” he said.

“THE AREA IS SO PICTURESQUE AND OFFERS A GREAT QUALITY OF LIFE”

“Our vision at Stockland is to be the leading creator and curator of connected communities, and this is underpinned by our purpose – a better way to live. We know from our residents that Elara is a community that will grow with

them and their families."

Elara is surrounded by childcare centres, state and independent schools, a water-themed inclusive playground, a dedicated dog park, expansive green spaces spanning 40 hectares, and approximately seven kilometres of interconnected cycling and walking trails leading to a three-hectare lake.

The next release is available from November 9, with land starting from $733,000.

For more information, visit the Stockland Elara Sales and Information Centre located at Elara Boulevard, Marsden Park between 11am and 4pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am and 5pm on weekends.

ROCKED BY WATER TRAGEDY

Iwas devastated this week to hear of the tragic drowning deaths of a mother and her two young children in Fairfield.

Less than a half hour drive from Penrith. Far too close to home, and a shocking reminder that drowning does not discriminate.

I simply cannot imagine the sorrow the family is experiencing, and whilst the circumstances around this tragedy are unclear, news outlets have reported that Hoai Nguyen, 32, and her two children, Mitchell, seven, and Hazel, five, had been at Shearer Park at Lansvale in Fairfield when they were spotted struggling in the Georges River about 10.15am.

Hoai was pulled to shore shortly afterwards, but despite the efforts of a number of bystanders and emergency services, couldn’t be saved.

The children’s bodies were recovered by emergency services sometime later.

The investigation into how

the mother and her children ended up in the water is ongoing.

A father has lost two of his three children, and a baby is without his mother and siblings.

A fundraiser has been set up for the family and reads “a beloved mother and her two young children tragically drowned... leaving behind a profound void in our hearts and a father and baby who is only one-years-old”.

These are the stories behind the scary statistics.

323 people drowned in Australia in 2023-24, a 16 per cent increase on the 10-year average. 83 of these people were born overseas, representing just over a quarter of all drowning deaths in this period. In the 10-year period 2013-23, 933 people born overseas drowned in Australia, representing 34 per cent of all drowning deaths in this period.

Royal Life Saving Australia data looking at the countries most represented by drowning found that people

born in China were most heavily represented in the data (113), followed by the UK (109), New Zealand (55), India (46), Vietnam (40), South Korea (35), Italy (29), the US (28), Germany (24) and Nepal (22).

A recent forum in Melbourne in response to the 25 per cent of drowning deaths of people born overseas saw over 60 delegates from across Australia come together to address drowning among our multicultural communities.

We promote learn to swim for everyone, children and adults, and it’s never too late no matter a person’s background or previous experience.

COMPETING PRIORITIES MONEY

Financial planning involves the balancing of a number of priorities, making tradeoffs and compromises, much like life.

When it comes to investing money, there is the risk/ reward trade off. In simple terms growth assets such as shares and property have far more potential for growth than defensive assets such as cash and bonds. However growth assets are also far more volatile and offer much less certainty.

Each individual will be comfortable with a different level of risk, and has a different requirement for growth. Arguably the biggest balancing act we face in financial planning is weighing up meeting goals for our current lifestyle versus preparing for the future. Achieving long term goals such as buying a house or having a comfortable retirement usually come as a result of making compromises to ongoing lifestyle or foregoing short term goals.

Unfortunately many people don’t adequately prepare for the future and are unable to achieve their long term goals. This may be a conscious choice to live for the now, and allocate their income and assets to having a wonderfully rich life and they are prepared to live more frugally in the future. This is a perfectly reasonable trade off. Others just don’t consider the future and are maybe a little wasteful in the now. This can be problematic.

Others do the opposite, and are ultra-concerned about setting up their future. These people are very diligent in ensuring that they are putting money away for their long term goals and wealth creation. This is wise, however there is always a risk of over committing, it is becoming more common for people to acquire far more wealth than they will need in retirement. This is itself is not a problem, however if they have foregone lifestyle in order to achieve this

wealth this is potentially a problem. Again the key is balance. There are so many more of these trade-offs. In retirement we compare the Centrelink friendly guaranteed income of the Life Long annuity against the flexibility and liquidity of the allocated pension. We compare the tax advantages of Superannuation against the loss of access to those funds until we retire or meet a condition of release. We choose between repaying our mortgage or investing our surplus funds. All of these options are valid and have their own advantages and disadvantages.

YES, YOU CAN REVERSE FATTY LIVER DISEASE

Fatty liver disease, characterised by the accumulation of fat in liver cells, has become increasingly prevalent due to sedentary lifestyles and poor dietary choices. However, the good news is that with the right nutrition and lifestyle changes, it is possible to reverse fatty liver and restore optimal liver function if it hasn’t developed into liver cirrhosis. Here is a quick summary of some nutritional strategies for reversing fatty liver disease:

Healthy fats

Incorporating healthy fats into your diet is crucial for reversing fatty liver. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, help reduce inflammation and promote liver health. Replace saturated and trans fats, which is found in fatty meats, full-fat dairy products, palm oil, coconut oil, processed snacks, and fast foods, fried items and commercially baked goods with healthier monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats from olive oil, nuts and seeds, to support your liver’s recovery.

Balanced diet

Adopting a well-balanced diet is essential for managing fatty liver disease. Ensure that your meals include a variety of fruits, vegetables,

whole grains and lean proteins. This diverse range of nutrients provides essential vitamins and minerals that aid in liver repair.

Limit added sugars

Excessive sugar consumption is linked to fatty liver disease. Cut down on sugary beverages, processed foods and sweets.

Moderate alcohol intake

Alcohol can exacerbate liver damage, so it’s crucial to limit or eliminate alcohol consumption when trying to reverse fatty liver. Alcohol-free periods allow your liver to heal and regenerate. Binge drinking will also damage the liver so try to stick to no more than four standards per sitting and no more than 10 standards across the week (the less the better).

Stay hydrated

Adequate hydration supports overall health, including liver function. Water helps flush toxins from the body. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water a day to keep your liver and body hydrated.

Manage weight

Maintaining a healthy weight is key to reversing fatty liver. Gradual weight loss through a combination of proper nutrition and exercise can significantly reduce liver fat. By embracing a diet rich in nutrients, avoiding harmful substances, and adopting a healthy lifestyle, you can promote liver health and set the stage for a renewed, healthier you. Behavioural support is a crucial aspect of reversing fatty liver. An Accredited Practising Dietitian can help you overcome challenges related to food choices, emotional eating, and adherence to dietary recommendations.

IN THE MIRROR with Cassidy Pearce

Finding the right fake tan for you is nothing short of a challenge. There are hundreds of options on the market, but almost all of them have their pitfalls. Will it make me green, or orange? Is it patchy? Streaky? Will it give me tiger bread hands? But, I think I may have found a new favourite in Camino Rose.

Camino Rose is an Australian brand that started during COVID. Of course, self-tanning is a fairly saturated market here in Australia, with people willing to try anything to create a natural, bronzed look without having to submit to harsh sun rays. But, Camino Rose has a point of difference – the owners wanted to create a fake tan that looked anything but fake. And, I think they’ve done it.

Application

Camino Rose currently sells two shades in their fake tanning mousse – Dolce (Light-Medium) and Toffee (Medium-Dark). I opted for the shade Dolce.

One of the most unique things about this tan right off the bat is their choice of applicator. Whilst most come with a tanning mitt, Camino Rose recommends using a dispos-

able glove, saying that not only does it guarantee a streak-free tan, it also doesn’t absorb any product, ensuring you get the most bang for your buck.

As someone who’s used to using a mitt to apply fake tan, using a glove was a bit awkward. It took longer to blend everything out, and I was overly cautious of creating streaks.

The consistency of the tan itself was relatively similar to others I’ve used, however it felt a little drier, which didn’t help with the glove situation. However, the flip side to that is that this is the fastest drying tan I have ever tried. When the bottle says it dries in five minutes, it wasn’t lying. This meant that almost as soon as I finished applying the tan, I was able to get dressed and sleep in it very comfortably – as the bottle says to leave it on for four

to eight hours before rinsing.

Appearance

I will admit, I was a little bit scared when I woke up the morning after tanning, as the colour appeared to be quite dark.

In saying this, once I rinsed it off, I was pleasantly surprised. It has a really pretty neutral undertone, meaning you don’t look overly green or orange, and overall it looks quite natural. This is also the best my hands have ever looked in fake tan, and I credit this to the application method with the rubber glove, and accompanying buffing brush.

The colour of this tan is still a little deeper than other Light-Medium tans that I’ve used in the past, however this could be amended by washing it off sooner. I did find that it also stuck slightly to dry

patches, especially on my legs. However, I believe that moisturising prior to use would amend this.

Removal

Over the following days, I did notice the tan fading quite nicely, rather than cracking or getting patchy.

I found that it exfoliated off fairly easily using exfoliating gloves, though you could use a tan remover to provide the most seamless canvas for reapplication.

Should I try it?

In short, yes! Due to how quickly it dries, I found it to be incredibly convenient. Whilst with other tans you may be standing there for hours and still won’t feel fully comfortable touching anything, this one was completely dry to the touch after about 10 minutes.

WHY IS MY PET SO ITCHY? COMMON SKIN ISSUES

Spring is often the season for itchy skin problems in pets. As the weather warms up, the increase in allergens and parasites can cause discomfort in our furry companions. The condition of your pet’s skin and coat is a crucial indicator of their overall health, and itchy skin could point to an underlying issue that requires veterinary attention.

Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD):

Flea allergy dermatitis is the most prevalent skin disease in pets. Dogs can develop an allergic reaction to flea saliva after being bitten, leading to intense itching, especially near the base of the tail. Contrary to popular belief, a dog doesn’t need a massive flea infestation to react – just one or two fleas can trigger FAD. It’s important to regularly use flea prevention, as untreated flea allergies can lead to secondary skin infections.

Atopic Dermatitis (Atopy):

Atopy is another common cause of itching in dogs and occurs when a dog develops an allergic reaction to environmental allergens such as pollen, dust mites, or mould spores. This condition tends to affect areas like the flanks, armpits, and other skin folds. Dogs with atopy often have a genetic defect in their skin barrier, making them more susceptible to environmental triggers. Atopy can progress from mild itching to more severe, widespread dermatitis if left untreated.

Food Allergy Dermatitis: Food allergies in dogs typically develop after one year of age. Common allergens include beef, chicken, and wheat. If you suspect your dog has a food allergy, a food elimination trial may be needed. This involves feeding a novel protein diet (like kangaroo and pumpkin) for three months, then reintroducing their regular diet to see if symptoms reoccur. If itching improves during the trial,

there’s a strong chance your dog has a food allergy.

Mange: Mange is a skin disease caused by mites, such as Demodex or Scabies. It often results in intense itching, hair loss, and secondary infections. Scabies, in particular, is highly contagious, so immediate veterinary treatment is essential if you suspect mange.

Hot spots: Hot spots, or traumatic pyodermatitis, are moist, itchy patches of skin that are often painful. They can arise from any skin irritation – such as a flea bite, wound, or even persistent

chewing and licking. Hot spots can quickly worsen, leading to secondary infections, so early treatment is vital.

Signs of itchy skin problems

Dogs love a good scratch, but how do you know when it’s a sign of something more serious? Watch for:

• Constant licking, biting, or chewing at specific areas

• Redness, scabs or sores

• Hair loss or bald spots

• Rubbing their face, belly or paws excessively

• Reduced playfulness or appetite due to discomfort

If your dog shows any of these signs, it’s important to seek veterinary advice. Skin issues can range from mild to severe, but early intervention can prevent chronic problems.

HOROSCOPES

Relax & Unwind

AQUARIUS

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19

The Mercury/Uranus opposition suggests a house move, family drama, uninvited guests dropping in or some other kind of domestic disruption. And some Aquarians could experience changes at work. Whatever happens, strive to get the balance right between your public life and your private responsibilities. The planets also push you to reinvent a professional relationship. Just be careful you don’t get carried away and throw the baby out with the bathwater.

TAURUS

21 TO MAY 21

Bulls prefer to plod along in a methodical fashion but this week, you could experience challenges and disruptions! Saturn squares your ruler Venus, and Mercury opposes Uranus (in your sign) so life could be stressful and unpredictable. If you prioritise and are mentally flexible, then you’ll handle the hurlyburly with less stress and strain. Close relationships are also in a state of New Moon flux. The more adaptable you are, the better the final outcome will be.

LEO

JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23

Leos love to be Top Cat but this week you need to ask yourself, “Am I leading others or just bossing them around?” If you power ahead without considering other people, then you’ll create unnecessary chaos and disruption. Do your best to accommodate the needs of those around you. Life will also run more smoothly if you incorporate a spiritual ritual into your daily domestic routine. Something like yoga, tai chi, chanting, meditation or creative visualisation.

SCORPIO

OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

This week the Sun, New Moon and Mercury are transiting through your sign. And the Mercury/Uranus and Mars/ Pluto oppositions could disrupt relationships and rattle your resilience. But it’s time to bounce back, as you demonstrate (and celebrate) your strengths – including courage and persistence. Your motto is from Scorpio actress Julia Roberts (who turns 57 on Monday), “I’m better for all the things that have happened to me, the good and the bad.”

PISCES

FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20

Are your aspirations for the future ambitious enough? The current stars favour ruminating over big-picture ideas. And there’s no room for false modesty or passive Piscean procrastination as you enjoy talking, texting, posting, promoting, socialising and circulating. The terrific Mars/Neptune trine encourages you to come up with a creative plan, and then pursue it. An unwelcome surprise could unsettle you, so hold tight and expect the unexpected!

GEMINI

22 TO JUNE 21

You could become anxious, as your daily routine is disrupted in some way or your enthusiasm for a work project could overtake your ability to knuckle down and get the job done. If you promise more than you can deliver, then other people will just end up disappointed. So slow down and listen to the wisdom of your inner voice – it will point you in the direction that’s right for you. Being creative and proactive will also lead to success and satisfaction.

VIRGO

AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23

When it comes to the way you think, blast out of a boring rut and jump into an exciting new phase. Use your imagination and think outside the box as the Sun, New Moon, Mercury and Uranus activate your communication zone. So stop avoiding issues and start discussing what you really want and need. You can’t expect other people to magically read your mind! For some clever Virgos, a joint venture or a creative online project has the potential to fly.

SAGITTARIUS

NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

Sagittarians can be feisty folk, but don’t allow yourself to be drawn into a heated exchange this week (especially involving family and/or finances). It would be better to watch the fireworks from the sidelines. With the Sun, New Moon and Mercury visiting your privacy zone, slow down and chill out as you relax, rejuvenate and contemplate. After some quality ‘me-time’ and soulful reflection, you’ll start to see things from a refreshing new perspective.

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

Expect some highs and lows this week Rams. Your ruler Mars trines Neptune and Mercury, which is terrific for creativity and communication, as you get your message out loud and clear. But Sunday’s Mars/Pluto opposition could stir up anger or resentment, especially involving work issues or a family matter. Try to release angry feelings in appropriate ways – via a good cry, a deep and meaningful talk with a friend, or a robust pillow-punching session!

This week a child, teenager, friend or lover could shock you by making a surprise move or a group project could suddenly veer off in an unexpected direction. If you keep your adaptability muscles well-flexed, then you’ll adjust to the constantly changing landscape accordingly. With peace planet Venus visiting your job zone, stop sulking and stewing over a perceived slight from a work colleague, client or customer. It’s time to compromise and sympathise!

The week starts with taskmaster Saturn squaring your patron planet Venus, which could increase self-criticism and your obsession with perfection. Then Friday’s New Moon illuminates your self-esteem zone, when it’s a good time to boost your confidence, be the authentic you, and celebrate your so-called flaws! The New Moon and Mercury-Uranus opposition also highlight the importance of having a smart savings plan and a well-stocked emergency fund.

CAPRICORN

DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20

The week starts with a tricky Venus/ Saturn square, which could exacerbate a relationship issue or a financial problem. With the Sun, New Moon and Mercury visiting your hopes and wishes zone, it’s important to have ambitious longterm goals that you’re working towards. You’ll have to be patient though, as you focus on bringing your dreams down to earth via a practical plan. Then – when everything is in place – you’ll know the perfect time to pounce.

LUXURY ON A BUDGET

Anight in the city can quickly escalate in price when it comes to booking the accommodation.

And it can be a painful moment handing over that credit card for a room you’re only going to spend a few hours in, or that’s sole purpose is to sleep and get going again the next day.

The Oaks Sydney Goldsbrough Suites should be on your list for the next time such an occasion arises – it fits the bill perfectly as an affordable option close to everything in the city, but it’s far from a budget option in terms of its amenities.

Located adjacent to Darling Harbour and the Sydney Fish Market, the Oaks Sydney Goldsbrough Suites is located within a herit-

age listed building with unique architecture.

The check-in process was smooth, and while finding your room can prove a little daunting given the uniqueness of the floors that make up the hotel, once you’re in – you’ll be soaking up the ‘wow’ factor.

“ONCE YOU’RE IN, YOU’LL BE SOAKING UP THE ‘WOW’ FACTOR”

I stayed in a one bedroom suite – larger than your average hotel room, and with the perfect city skyline view that allowed you to really soak up the hustle and bustle of the city. I happened to stay on a rainy night and there was just something about watching the world

go by as the rain fell that made you want to sip a glass of wine and stay beyond just a glance.

There’s a spacious and comfortable lounge room and a fully equipped kitchen – perfect if you want to cook a meal for yourself or if you’ve got young kids in tow.

The bedroom was extremely comfortable and its separation from the main living area meant there was no issues in terms of noise or privacy.

The Oaks Sydney Goldsbrough Suites also offers a two bedroom suite, and studio options.

You can relax by heading down to the swimming pool or jacuzzi, and while there’s no on-site restaurant, I found a nearby cafe for a hearty breakfast at much better value than your traditional hotel buffet.

The Oaks Sydney Goldsbrough Suites may not have all the bells and whistles of a luxury hotel, but it’s a wonderful option for a night or two in the city – especially if you’re on a budget.
