THE BLOCK IS BACK, WITH A BIG DIFFERENCE IN ‘24

Get ready to celebrate two decades of design, drama, and dazzling renovations when ‘The Block’ returns for an incredible 20th season after the Olympics.

Australia’s favourite home renovation show is heading to the stunning coastal location of Phillip Island, a cruisy two-hour drive from Melbourne and home to the world famous Australian MotoGP and Penguin Parade.

In the new season of ‘The Block’, five couples from around Australia make the move to Phillip Island to build a new home that could change their lives forever come auction day.

The Blockheads will renovate five luxury family holiday homes – once again designed by

longtime ‘Block’ architect Julian Brenchley – from an abandoned resort just a few minutes’ drive from the town of Cowes.

Host Scott Cam is back for an incredible 18th season and will be joined by trusty co-host Shelley Craft for her 17th season on the show.

“IT

“When I drove into the site for the first time I knew it was going to be a big job for our contest

“The houses are enormous and when you walk around the site, there are surprises at every turn, including a tennis court and a swimming pool.”

This year there are some big changes on the show. Keith Schleiger steps down from his longtime role as Foreman as he was unable to move to Phillip Island fulltime, so Dan Reilly will take on the role as sole Foreman.

Veteran judge Neale Whitaker has also handed the baton on, to real estate director Marty Fox. Marty will join Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer to judge the spectacular rooms with the brief of creating a perfect holiday home.

But fans don’t have to worry, both Keith and Neale will be making special guest appearances throughout the season.

The picturesque backdrop of Phillip Island is the perfect location to celebrate the 20th season of the ratings juggernaut created by Julian Cress and David Barbour. They have plans to celebrate everything Phillip Island has to offer and show it off to Australia and the world.

“Marking season 20, it felt like we really needed to do something special,” Cress said.

“We weren’t going to settle for just any location as it’s a major milestone, and Phillip Island has exceeded all of our expectations.

“Get ready to celebrate two decades of design, drama, and dazzling renovations when ‘The Block’ returns for an incredible 20th season in 2024.”

‘The Block’ will premiere on the Nine Network following the Paris Olympic Games.

A GENTLE PATH TO DETOXIFICATION, HEALING The Experts

The human body is a marvel of interconnected systems, and the lymphatic system is a key player in maintaining our health and wellbeing. It’s responsible for transporting lymph, a fluid containing white blood cells that is crucial for fighting infections and removing waste products from the body. When this system is disrupted, it can lead to conditions such as lymphedema, where fluid accumulates and causes swelling. This is where manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) comes in – a specialised massage technique designed to support the lymphatic system.

MLD is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that involves light, rhythmic strokes to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluids throughout the body. It’s particularly beneficial

for individuals who have undergone surgery or suffer from conditions that compromise the lymphatic system. By stimulating the flow of lymph, MLD helps to reduce swelling, detoxify the body, and promote healing.

The benefits of MLD are numerous. It can improve immune function, decrease swelling and inflammation, and enhance the body’s natural detoxification processes. For those recovering from surgery, MLD can decrease post-surgical pain and reduce the need for pain medications by alleviating pressure on sensitive nerve endings.

Moreover, MLD is not just for those with medical conditions. It can also be a part of a healthy lifestyle, helping to rejuvenate the body, reduce anxiety and fatigue, and improve overall skin appearance.

Regular sessions of MLD can even contribute to reducing the appearance of cellulite, diminishing migraines, and decreasing stress levels.

In essence, manual lymphatic drainage is a transformative practice that offers a path to relief for those burdened by the physical manifestations of lymphatic blockages. It’s a testament to the power of gentle touch and its profound impact on the body’s healing processes, offering a non-invasive route to wellness and vitality for anyone seeking to maintain their health in a holistic manner. Whether as a treatment for specific conditions or as a means of relaxation and detoxification, MLD is a valuable addition to health and wellness regimens providing a soothing escape from the stresses of daily life.

IN THE MIRROR with Cassidy Pearce

Bruise your bank balance with some of these new beauty products

We’ve officially entered the second half of the year, and what better way to spend your tax return on than some new makeup?

Right now, we’re seeing the induction of some exciting international brands into Aussie stores, and a host of innovative products hitting the shelves. But, what’s worth spending your money on?

Here are my top picks:

Glossier

Starting off with one of the most highly anticipated beauty launches of the year – Glossier

will be hitting the shelves at Mecca this month.

Founded in 2014, NYC brand Glossier is known for releasing products used to create minimalist, natural-looking makeup looks. You may have heard of products like their Cloud Paint, Balm Dotcom Lip Balm or Glossier You Eau de Parfum.

The brand only started shipping to Australia from its website fairly recently, but as of July 16, there’ll be no need, with all of their best products available to shop both instore and online from Mecca.

Sol de Janeiro

Cheirosa 48

Perfume Mist

Sol de Janeiro has just launched the newest scent in their famous perfume mist –Cheirosa 48. The scent is described as being more floral and tropical than some of the others, with the top notes being guava nectar and coconut water, mid notes being sunlit orchid, lemon twist and wild orris, and base notes of pink musk and vanilla cloud.

Just the colour alone makes me excited to try it!

Polite Society

Another new brand that’s just arrived on Aussie shores is Polite Society.

Polite Society is a brand-new company started by the original owners of Too Faced, Jerrod Blandino and Jeremy Johnson (who literally invented glitter eyeshadow, so you know it has to be good).

The brand has carried over some of the old cutesy Too Faced aesthetic, which I’m definitely

here for, but I’m intrigued to see if the quality holds up. I will say, I’m most excited to pick up the Polite Pout Glossy Lip Balm, which I’ve heard nothing but great things about.

Briogeo Style

+ Treat Yuzu & Plum Oil Hair

Styling Sleek Stick

One of my favourite haircare brands, Briogeo, has just launched the new Style + Treat Yuzu & Plum Oil Hair Styling Sleek Stick.

The product is described as a smooth, glidable styling stick which provides both hold

and frizz protection when used to perfect those sleek styles. It also has plenty of highly conditioning ingredients.

As someone who’s a huge fan of a slick bun or ponytail, I can’t wait to give this one a try!

The Experts

GIARDIA – THE TROUBLE WITH PUDDLES

As veterinarians, we see lots of diarrhoea!

One of the common causes of diarrhoea in dogs is giardia, a parasite that can live in the intestines. Pets usually get it from drinking from puddles, and other sources of stagnant water, and with our recent deluge of rain, we are seeing more pets being presented with this troublesome problem.

What is Giardia?

Giardia is a single-celled protozoan parasite that can live in the intestines of dogs. Giardia has whip-like structures called ‘flagella’ which enable them to move. These parasites live in the intestine where they cause diarrhoea and intestinal upset. The parasite thrives in cool, moist environments and can survive for months in the right conditions. Giardia can infect dogs, cats, wild animals and people too.

How is it transmitted?

by drinking from contaminated water sources (puddles, gutters, drains and contaminated water bowls).

What symptoms will I see?

Symptoms of giardia can include diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, nausea, weight loss, decreased appetite and vomiting.

How is Giardia in dogs diagnosed?

Diagnosis is often made by

evaluating faecal material under a microscope. However, this little parasite can be difficult to find. Giardia shed organisms intermittently, so they can be difficult to detect in a single examination. Sometimes pets must be retested in order to find an infection.

Treatment and prognosis

A broad-spectrum wormer and specific antibiotics administered over a period of several weeks will be prescribed by your veter-

inarian. Most healthy dogs make a full recovery from giardia. In some cases, supportive treatment, including IV fluids and hospitalisation, may be required if dehydration or severe diarrhoea persists. Puppies, senior dogs and those with compromised immune systems are at higher risk for complications, including death.

Pets most commonly get giardia

The best way to prevent a giardia infection is to keep your pet from drinking from puddles and lakes, or other sources of stagnant water.

Unfortunately, dog park puddles carry a higher risk than pooled freshwater sources due to the concentrated number of potentially infected dogs in the environment.

Remember to be vigilant about clearing faecal material from the environment.

If your dog has been diagnosed with giardia, it is often recommended that you wash as many areas of your environment as possible. KELLIE TICKNER

AQUARIUS

JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19

This week Pluto (transiting through your sign) opposes Mercury, which could stir up your contrary nature. If you must disagree with other people, then try to do so in a respectful and constructive way. The Venus/Uranus link also revs up your bohemian side, as you question authority and express your Aquarian quirkiness. Your mantra for the moment is from suffragette (and birthday great) Emmeline Pankhurst, “I would rather be a rebel than a slave.”

TAURUS

21 TO MAY 21

Careful communication is the key to an enjoyable week for Bulls. Venus and Uranus encourage you to release old grudges and let bygones be bygones. Plus Mercury and Jupiter urge you to work through domestic dramas and family squabbles in a proactive and diplomatic way. Your motto is from birthday great, writer Marcel Proust, “Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”

LEO

JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23

Thursday’s Sun/Saturn trine is fabulous for focused thought, good judgement, creative work and making the most of golden opportunities that come your way. But the more stubborn and arrogant you are (especially on Friday and Saturday) the more likely you’ll get drawn into an argument, either in person or online. With people-pleasing Venus visiting your sign (from Friday until August 5) it’s time for lots of Leo charm and an extra dollop of diplomacy.

SCORPIO

OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

You’re keen to call the shots this week but domineering behaviour will only lead to unpleasant dramas (especially on Friday) so slip on your humility hat instead. And don’t underestimate your ability to inspire others. Coupled Scorpios – with Jupiter transiting through your intimacy zone, a frustrating problem with your partner could finally be resolved. Singles – Cupid’s love arrows are most likely to strike while you are working, studying or traveling.

PISCES

FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20

Are you running on empty? Perceptive Pisceans will strive to get the ratio right between being on top of things at work, while still having time to rest, reflect and recharge your run-down batteries. Balance is the key. But relations with a loved one or work colleague could be stressful and problematic later in the week, particularly if you try to control an uncontrollable situation. So expect the unexpected and keep your adaptability muscles well-flexed!

GEMINI

22 TO JUNE 21

Don’t allow a loved one to manipulate you, as they try to persuade you to do something against your better judgment. Have the emotional strength (and common sense) to stand your ground and say no. With your ruler Mercury (and Venus) transiting through fiery Leo, you’ve got energy to burn but make sure you channel it into productive pursuits. Mental activities and current affairs are favoured, as you pick up information with lightning speed.

VIRGO

AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23

Your very discreet Virgo nature is emphasised, as Mercury (your power planet) moves from your peer group zone into your solitude zone. Make it a priority to connect with like-minded people who understand your particular peccadillos and strong need for privacy. But a loved one could be temperamental, so handle them with extra care. Things aren’t as straight-forward as they seem. Don’t skip over the details – get someone you trust to help you out.

SAGITTARIUS

NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are your best days, when Jupiter (your boss planet) makes positive connections with Mercury and your Destiny Point. So it’s the perfect time to make a list of your future goals and surround yourself with positive people. Your motto is from fellow Sagittarian, writer Mark Twain, “Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great.”

MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

The planetary patterns highlight freedom, education, adventure and creative projects. If you pace yourself and prioritise, then you’ll get things done without feeling rushed and frazzled. It’s also a good week to socialise with family members and neighbours, as you participate in some lively and stimulating conversations. But avoid getting drawn into an intense argument (especially with children and friends) where you end up saying things that you later regret.

CANCER

Avoid getting drawn into dramatic disputes with family and friends, especially involving money and/or possessions. This week will work best if you keep your Crab claws out of other people’s business and concentrate on pursuing personal projects instead. Thursday is the best day of the week, when the Sun and Venus (both in Cancer) form fabulous aspects with Saturn and Neptune. So it’s a good day to focus your energy and follow creative pursuits.

Monday’s invigorating Venus/Uranus link encourages a work breakthrough or a brand new friendship. Then the Venus/ Neptune trine is fabulous for creative and spiritual pursuits. But Friday’s Venus/Pluto opposition could stir up a complicated romance or a childhood jealousy. With Venus (your patron planet) and Mercury visiting your peer group zone, a dash of diplomacy and improved communication skills will help smooth over a troubled friendship.

CAPRICORN

DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20

The Sun, Venus and Uranus activate creative projects and fire up romance, but the Venus/Pluto opposition could complicate a close relationship. So aim to be creative and compassionate - but also robust and resilient. Then the bumps along the road will make you stronger. It’s also a good week to become more involved with volunteer projects and philanthropic pursuits. When it comes to your local community, shake off your shyness and get involved.

Relax & Unwind COUNTRY CHARM WITH A

As the cost-of-living crisis bites, families are looking for more affordable holidays – potentially without the hefty price of airfares thrown in.

But finding a cost-effective holiday a little closer to home that still feels like a decent getaway can be hard to achieve.

Enter Camden, south-west of Sydney, and more specifically the Camden Valley Inn.

Just under an hour from Penrith, this stunning five acre property offers country charm combined with modern food and bars, making it a decent weekend escape – especially in winter where that crisp morning air hits different, and the fire pits at night make for a comfortable experience for everyone despite the drop in temperature.

Right now, until the end of July, Camden Valley Inn has a ‘Land of Oz’ installation, offering you the opportunity to traverse the Yellow Brick Road and run into the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion. It’s open from 7am seven days a week, and there's special

additions mid-week including a magician visit on Thursdays and cheap pizzas on Wednesdays.

The three-year-old we had in tow for this recent visit loved this installation, climbing aboard the tractor that sits at the start of the display and constantly skipping along the yellow brick road (and demanding a treat or two from the Munchkin Candy Cart).

There’s also some special ‘Land of Oz’ food offerings on offer, including the Wicked Witch Cocktail – which I can personally vouch for – and the delicious Loaded White Hot Chocolate, which will bring a smile to anyone with a sweet tooth.

Food, yes, let’s talk food

During our two-night stay at the Camden Valley Inn, we had the opportunity to try a variety of food from the large menu the venue boasts.

Night one saw us enjoy a Meat Lover’s and Hawaiian pizza by the fire pit – these delicious

wood fired pizzas are to die for, packed with plenty of flavour and delicious ingredients.

For lunch the next day, it was straight to the pub classics – and Camden Valley Inn does a mean chicken schnitzel and chicken parmigiana.

For dinner, you simply have to try the mouth-watering Massaman Lamb Shank – a

SPRINKLE OF MAGIC THROWN IN

creamy Massaman curry of 12-hour slowly braised lamb shank with potatoes, cashews, fried onion and basmati rice, served with roti bread. It was absolutely delicious!

My wife tucked into the Vodka Gnocchi and gave it five stars, while little-miss-three devoured the grilled chicken and vegetables on the affordable kids’ menu.

And to wash it all down? A few cocktails from the extensive list of specialties, but of course they’ll make the classics too.

A good point about the Camden Valley Inn: You can order at the bar or direct from your table, but either way, cocktails and food is delivered to you. It ensures lines move fast and there’s no wasted time in catching up with friends or relaxing at the many bars and table options.

Rest your weary head

Camden Valley Inn has a rural charm to it, and with that is accommodation that isn't necessarily five-star hotel standard (although you we didn’t experience the King Spa or Executive Suite, so perhaps there’s a secret to uncover there), but it doesn't need to be.

There’s such extraordinary space at this venue, that you won’t really be spending too much time in the room. Whether you want to sit with your partner and sip a glass of wine while watching the sunset on some perfectly positioned lounges, or send the kids to the play equipment, there’s plenty to do throughout the day.

The rooms themselves are comfortable,

equipped with Foxtel connections and decent bathrooms – and it’s cute to find your way to your abode for the evening through the differently named cottages, like Rose and Magnolia.

While you’re there

Being in this part of Sydney puts you within a short drive to a couple of highly recommended experiences.

The NSW Rail Museum is located just a short

drive from Camden Valley Inn in Thirlmere, and provides a fantastic trip down memory lane into the state’s railway history.

Adult tickets are just $15, and you can upgrade to take a steam train ride – about a half-hour round trip. Visit www.nswrailmuseum.com.au to book tickets.

On the way back to Penrith on Sunday, we called by Bon Rean Highlands in Theresa Park – and discovered one of the highlights of the weekend.

Here, you can get up close to the property’s cows – feeding them bread and fruit and learning about their quirks from the family who operate this stunning Highland Cattle farm.

Tours are only available on weekends, and can be booked at www.bonreanhighlands. com.au.

“THERE'S SUCH

SPACE AT THIS VENUE, THAT YOU WON'T BE SPENDING TOO MUCH TIME IN YOUR ROOM”

A final word

If you’ve got a young family and you’re looking for a laid back weekend, with a little bit of history and unique experiences thrown in, head to south-west Sydney.

Base yourself at the Camden Valley Inn (the 7am opening time is a big help in terms of securing a hearty breakfast before you head off for the day) and plan a few little adventures during your stay.

Visit www.camdenvalleyinn.com.au for more information.
