The world’s problem with weight is a complex issue, and while we don’t have enough space in the magazine

to even come close to dealing with all the factors involved in the ‘global obesity epidemic’, this week the MWP staff thought the time was right to at least get the region talking about it.

While we gear up for bikini season it’s even more apparent that we are getting fatter, and for most of us it starts with an extra couple of hundred grams on the scales. Obesity, it seems, is a slippery slope that has become a huge public health problem as well as a personal dilemma. So it’s time to look after ourselves – join Jarna Baudinette on page 6 for more.

Tomorrow night, some MWP staff members, including myself, are joining the leaders in local business and heading off to the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network

Awards evening. You’ll notice over the past few weeks we have been bringing you interviews and news about the event, and this week we talk exclusively to the 30 nominees. That special feature starts on page 32.

Over in property we’ve been exploring the latest in kitchens and bathrooms – whether you’re doing up your current home, renovating a new purchase or thinking about revamping your property to make it more appealing to buyers, these are the rooms that are most often given a makeover. That’s on page 46.

My late grandfather’s lifelong dream was to own a Jag, and in his later years that dream came true. I wonder what he would make of the latest Jaguar, which we review on page 41 in motoring. Speaking of grandfathers – you can fi nd the perfect Father’s Day gift in this week’s My Style. Dust off the credit card and turn to page 24.

TRIMMINGTHE FAT

PREVIEWThe world is getting fatter, and while healthy choices are the obvious solution, it isn’t always that simple. As Sunshine Coasters’ thoughts turn to trimming down for the coming summer, MWP seeks out answers to a weighty issue.

WORDSJarna Baudinette

We’ve just spent two weeks watching some of the fi ttest bodies in the world run, swim and cycle their way to Olympic

glory. The Games always inspire us to get fi t and toned, and with summer fast approaching, many of us try to lose a kilo or two as well. But if you’re anything like me, a few weeks will have passed since the closing ceremony without you doing anything about it.

A six-pack like Sally Pearson’s may be out of reach for the average person, but most of us still aspire to be as fi t and healthy as we can be. However, statistics show the average Australian is actually becoming less healthy over time.

Monash University’s Obesity and Diabetes Institute (MODI) says more than 17 million Australians are now

overweight and four million – just under one-fi fth of the total population – are obese. Worryingly, around 25 per cent of our children are also carrying excess weight, up four per cent from 1995.

Tim Black, a dietitian and nutritionist with Access Allied Health, says obesity is a big health concern for our nation.

“There is a large amount of statistical data showing Australia to have one of the highest prevalences of overweight and obesity [in the world],” Black says. “But this aside, you only need to go to any public place to see fi rst-hand the high percentage of our population that are overweight or obese.”

MODI predicts that if weight gain continues at the current levels, 80 per cent of Australian adults and 33 per cent of children will be obese by 2020. These

are big numbers, but Black says one of the leading causes of signifi cant weight gain is an inability to recognise the importance of small numbers – where they matter, which is on the bathroom scale.

Weight gain of 50 grams per week will result in an extra 10 kilograms over four years, and this slow creeping of the scales eventually leads locals to Access Allied Health’s personalised weight-loss service.

The fi rst step in treating obesity is to identity an individual’s personal motivation for weight loss.

“Weight loss and maintenance can be a lengthy process and internal motivation is essential to achieving goals,” Black says. The next step is to review a patient’s diet and identify what changes need to be made.

“These changes will vary depending on the individual being treated,” he says. “For some, a signifi cant dietary change for a short period of time (for example, a high-protein diet or meal replacements) will be appealing, while others will prefer smaller, more manageable changes, [such as] eating smaller portions and cutting sugar out of tea or coffee.

“Whether the initial approach is a strict ‘diet’ or manageable changes, for lasting results a sustainable approach will need to be determined eventually.”

Many patients have tried to lose weight before, and Black says people are often disheartened by previous failed attempts. Others mistakenly believe they are too busy to change diet or exercise habits, or are “unaware of how small changes can make a big difference”.

“People are aware that they should be eating less and exercising more,” Black says. “Most people that come into my offi ce will say ‘I know what to do, I’m just not doing it’. Yet at the same time, people have a lot of strange ideas of how best to achieve weight loss and I have found that education on what really matters is essential to help people reach their goals.”

Much of this education centres on choosing healthy, nutritious things to eat. We lead busy lives and are surrounded by processed and fast foods, often masquerading as ‘lite’ or ‘low-fat’ options while containing plenty of sugar and kilojoules.

A 2012 report released by The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare found nine out of 10 Australians aged 16 and over do not consume suffi cient serves of vegetables in a day, and half do not consume enough fruit; children tend to eat a lot more fruit than adults, however, overall consumption decreases with age.

Young children are heavily infl uenced by their family’s eating habits, and many long-term eating behaviours are formed as children – so if adult Australia is getting fatter, it stands to reason that our children will be, too.

“Dietary and exercise education and strategies need to involve the whole family, not just the child,” Black

A common mistake when trying to lose weight is to embark on a rigorous exercise regime. Such regimes are often not sustainable, taking up too much of a person’s time and energy

says. “While it will be of some benefi t to educate the child, parents and caregivers will need support in administering dietary and lifestyle change.”

Black says a holistic approach to weight loss should also include low-intensity exercise – such as walking, swimming or cycling – three to four times per week.

“A common mistake when trying to lose weight is to embark on a rigorous exercise regime. Such regimes are often not sustainable, taking up too much of a person’s time and energy, and are mostly ineffective for weight loss,” Black says. “This is because high-intensity exercise burns carbohydrate, not fat, which increases hunger.”

Mark Stitt is the director of Suncoast Fitness and agrees there is no need to rush out and start training like Usain Bolt.

“Every person is different and we have different genetic, social and environmental factors that affect the rate that we lose weight,” he says, adding that he prefers the term ‘fat loss’ to ‘weight loss’, as many people focus on the scales when they are really trying to shed excess fat. “However, I have, through my 19 years’ experience in this industry, found that realistic goals are about half a kilo to a maximum of one kilo per week, if you are on a healthy diet and exercise regime.”

Stitt says training doesn’t necessarily have to be a specifi c set of exercises. “To maintain an above-average level of fi tness and enjoy a healthier life and longevity, training three times a week is more than suffi cient,” he says, adding that “getting out and playing sports, mountain bike riding, walking and anything that makes you elevate your heart rate and develop lean mass will suffi ce.”

However, Stitt’s advice to those who have not participated in exercise for a while, or who have a specifi c weight- or fat-loss goal, is to “start slow [and] get professional advice”. An accredited trainer will help fi nd a balance between resistance training, cardio training, eating plan and rest, which is essential to developing a long-term fi tness plan.

“But remember quality of life is essential and train to enjoy life – don’t make it a bore and a chore. Also, you know your body; do not let somebody push you to a point where you feel you are endangering your health or your wellbeing. It does not matter how slow you start, just start and you will feel the difference.”

There are no quick fi xes for weight loss, and sometimes it isn’t as simple as the ‘energy in versus energy out’ formula. Black says certain disorders, such as hypothyroidism or polycystic ovarian syndrome, can make weight loss very diffi cult; many medications cause weight gain as a side effect, and “on top of this, people lose weight at different rates and with varying success”, he says. However, this doesn’t mean people shouldn’t take the fi rst steps towards a healthier life.

“The formula is defi nitely not the same for everybody, except to say generally, if you stick with it, you will get there in the end,” Black says.

FAST FACTS

More than

17 million Australians are overweight and more than four million are obese, with a body mass index

(BMI) of 30 or more.

The incidence of obesity in Australia has more than doubled in the past

20 years.Australians will spend

$2.5 billion to combat bulging waistlines in 2012-13.

Obesity isn’t just a problem in the Western world. A recent report by ABC’s Foreign Correspondent found that in 1950, 700 million people were malnourished and 100 million were obese (mainly in wealthy countries). By 2010, 800 million were malnourished and 500 million were obese, and it is estimated this f gure will increase to more than one billion people worldwide by 2030. According to the World Health Organisation, 65 per cent of the world’s population now lives in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than malnutrition.

Rising electricity costs prompted me to investigate Solar.

So I started to shop around. I had a number of solar companies come around; they were just salesman and didn’t seem to know what they were talking about.

Uni-Industries came recommended, so I gave them a call. When their representative came around, he

explained how the job would be carried out and answered all my questions. I felt comfortable straight away; I had found someone who knew exactly what he was talking about, a tradesman not a salesman. So I had Uni-Industries install a 2KW System. We went away for a few months in winter 2011. Our electricity bill is usually about $1200 a year. This year we are in

credit and received a cheque for $909, was I pleased, yes, I certainly was. My calculations made that investment about 25% return on my money.I have now booked Uni-Industries to upgrade my Solar, to a 5KW System.

RAIL DUPLICATION PROJECT DERAILED

The State Government appears to have placed plans to duplicate the North Coast rail line between Landsborough and

Nambour fi rmly on the back burner.Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Scott

Emerson, says the State Government’s focus is on improving the state’s “dire” fi nancial situation.

“I was very clear during the election campaign not to commit to duplication until I saw what the budget fi gures were,” says Emerson. “While I understand there is an infrastructure capacity issue at the Sunshine Coast, it was Labor who made a commitment to duplicate these lines and then broke their 2009 election promise.

“As we are left to clean up the projected $100 billion debt left by Labor, all future projects are being reviewed as part of the budget process.”

The 22 kilometres of rail line between Landsborough and Nambour is a very limited single track with passing loops at stations, and contains bends and steep slopes, which greatly restrict the speed of trains. The average train trip from Nambour to Brisbane takes two and a half hours, which would be reduced to an estimated one hour after completion of the project. Division 11 councillor Greg Rogerson says the rail duplication

It is estimated that 30 per cent of children between the ages of eight and 12 now use Facebook, with 22 per cent of teenagers logging on to their favourite social media site more than 10 times a day.

More than half of them do not understand privacy settings and are at risk of becoming involved in undesirable situations online.

With social media use increasing rapidly, it is imperative parents understand the social media platforms their children are using and learn how to help their kids stay safe online.

Tweens and Technology is a series of forums planned for the Sunshine Coast that bring together Queensland Police, social media experts, behavioural psychologists and school representatives to discuss safety in the online environment.

The carefully selected panels will arm parents and children with the information they need to use social media wisely.

Tweens and Technology will be held from 7pm to 9.30pm at St Andrews College on August 30, Sunshine Coast Grammar on September 13 and Immanuel College on September 19. Call 1300 430 320 or visit kotcfamilyforum.eventbrite.com to book.

to Nambour is crucial to make the town readily accessible as a transport-oriented development area.

“It’s imperative we get it done,” says Rogerson. “There have been various fi gures put forward. First it was 2028 then it shifted to 2031 and at this point in time I’m not sure where it is at.

“If it keeps getting pushed back,it just becomes harder and harder, especially for towns like Nambour, where you’ve had a mill that’s been closed and you’re trying to revitalise it.

“I think they’re [the State Government] struggling with the fact they’re billions of dollars in defi cit and obviously they don’t see it as a priority. They say they’re aware of it and they’re working towards it, but that’s basically all that’s been said.”

A HELPING HANDWhen Ben Carreira, the dealer principal of Caloundra City Autos, heard the story of a young local girl with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, he decided there was something he could do.

Inez Emery, who is known as Nezi, was recently diagnosed with the disease. The seven-year-old needs regular treatment in Brisbane and the trips are made even more daunting for mum Renee Jenkins because she does not have a vehicle.

Carreira was so touched by this story that he decided to give Nezi and her mum a pre-owned vehicle to help make life easier.

But he wanted the offer to be a surprise. The family was asked to go to the Hot 91 studio in Maroochydore under the pretence of talking to

radio presenters Todd Widdicombe and Sami Muirhead to brighten Nezi’s day. They had no idea that greeting them in the car park was Carreira, who gave the family a choice of either a Holden Commodore or Ford Laser. Nezi and her mum drove away in the Commodore.

Immanuel Lutheran College’s Head of Science Wendy Cook and prep teacher Leanne Auricht have been recognised by their school communities as outstanding educators.

“Outside the family home, a teacher is the greatest infl uence on a child’s learning and we are honoured that two of our hard working and dedicated teachers have been nominated for this award,” says principal David Bliss.

NEiTA (National Excellence in Teaching Awards) is Australia’s only national, independent, community-centred teaching awards program that gives Australian secondary students, parents and school communities the opportunity to formally thank their teachers.

EVERY SCHOOL’S FUNDING TO RISE: GARRETT

Every school in Australia will receive a boost in funding under the government’s education reform plans,

School Education Minister Peter Garrett says.“What we’re saying is really straightforward.

Funding for every school will go up under our plan,” he told ABC Radio on Monday.

“That’s consistent with what we’ve said all the way along. It hasn’t changed. It’s absolutely crystal clear.”

Garrett was responding to reports one in three schools would be worse off under a new government plan.

Julia Gillard told the Independent Schools National Forum in Canberra on Monday that every school in Australia will get a funding increase under the government’s response to the Gonski schools review due within weeks. “This plan will lift school standards, not school fees,” she said.

Garrett has repeatedly said funding for every school would increase as part of the education reform plans formulated in response to the Gonski review. “No school will lose a dollar per student and … funding for every school would go up and that includes government and non-government schools,” he said.

The Federal Opposition says Gillard’s school funding promise is an act of a “desperate government”.

“[Gillard will] write cheque after cheque after cheque, because she knows she will probably never have to cash it,” Opposition Leader Tony Abbott told reporters in Canberra. AAP

Shade cloth could be soon protecting coral from heat stress if scientists concerned about saving oceans from global warming have their way.

If current trends continue, atmospheric carbon dioxide could increase to more than 80 per cent above pre-industrial levels by 2050.

Rising ocean temperatures and acidity could outstrip the ability of marine species to survive, says Ove Hoegh-Guldberg of the Global Change Institute, at University of Queensland.

In a paper published in Nature Climate Change on Monday, Professor Hoegh-Guldberg and fellow researchers say current actions identifi ed in national and international policy will not be enough to counter the impacts of the carbon dioxide emissions, if the trends continue.

Shade cloth could protect corals from heat stress, which leads to bleaching. AAP

Australians are worried about the high cost of electricity, but only one in fi ve consumers is prepared to do something about it.

A survey conducted for accounting fi rm Ernst & Young has found that while electricity is one of the most signifi cant ongoing expenses after rent and mortgage repayments, only 20 per cent of customers are in the market for a new electricity provider.

The customer experience survey found that more than a thirds of people had never switched providers, with many saying the experience was too hard. AAP

WHAT NEXT FOR ASSANGE?

AA

P

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange received a rapturous reception

on August 19 during a carefully staged appearance on the balcony of Ecuador’s London embassy, where he has taken refuge for two months.

Supporters, who numbered around 200 when Assange took to the microphone, clapped and chanted through a megaphone outside the embassy in the upmarket Knightsbridge neighbourhood.

Around 150 of the world’s press also gathered at the site to hear from the man at the centre of a diplomatic storm between Britain and Ecuador.

As anticipation grew before Assange’s appearance, the atmosphere on the street resembled a rock concert as activists cheered while former Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón and the leftist intellectual Tariq Ali took to the loudspeaker.

“I have spoken to Julian Assange and I can tell you he is in fi ghting spirits and he is thankful to the

people of Ecuador and especially to the president for granting asylum,” said Garzon.

The founder of the whistle-blowing website reminded the audience of the “threat” made by Britain that it could storm the embassy. He also thanked activists who maintained a constant vigil outside the building, saying “the world is watching because you are watching!”

It was the fi rst time in months that Assange has mobilised such crowds as support waned during his two-year failed judicial challenge to avoid extradition to Sweden. AAP

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

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

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

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

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

someone who has travelled which is only detected in specialised testing.

This infection releases a toxin affecting the nervous system physically and mentally. It’s not often been associated with mental health, though studies show its impact on the brain. It’s passed on very easily, so more than one person in a household may suffer from similar symptoms. You will also f nd some people can carry this infection with no symptoms whatsoever, as it seems to act when there are other health or stress related problems.

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

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

KIDS AND

G A D GI’d like to meet the parent not guilty of at

least occasionally resorting to smartphone syndrome with a bored or restless child.

We’ve all seen it – mum or dad hands a little one an iPhone or similar such device and immediately the gadget’s most magical quality manifests; its ability to soothe – nay – hypnotise a child, while the parent shops, chats, waits in line or completes any number of tasks made easier by an occupied and relatively quiet child.

The portable screen has become a powerful parenting crutch. And, really, what’s the harm in a few games of Angry Birds or Temple Run? Some of those apps actually look educational, with spelling lessons or chess strategy being taught.

But psychologist Jim Taylor, author of the book Raising Generation Tech: Prepare Your Children for a Media-fuelled World, argues that we are setting harmful defaults in our young children’s mind with this behaviour.

“What the child is learning is that whenever they get bored or cranky, they will be entertained,” he says. He sees parents giving children too much unguided access to technology at too young an age. All parents need moments of downtime or a break, he says, but these should be an exception rather than the rule.

“Most parents put kids in front of screens as a way of medicating them, so [they] don’t have to work as hard,” he says. That can be a diffi cult truth to accept.

As someone who works hard during the school year to enforce strict limits on all types of screen

D G E T SHealthy downtime for kidsIt’s too easy to hand over the smartphone while you cook dinner, clean the bathroom or have a well-earned cuppa. Parents should never feel guilty for wanting time away from kids, but it is vital to interact with children in playful ways as well as encourage independent play. Regular activity for young children improves self-esteem, thinking skills and co-ordination, helps foster social and emotional skills, and keeps weight in a healthy range.What you can do with your kids• Be a healthy role model by looking

after yourself with good food, exercise and time out for yourself.

• Keep balls, buckets and outdoor toys in your car for spontaneous stops at the park or beach.

• Visit the local park – children love swings, slides and climbing frames.

What you can do to encourage independent play• At home, set up an area inside with

cushions to crawl over and push toys to encourage movement.

• Have an outside area with bicycles, balls, hoola hoops and other toys.

• Lay some wood on the ground and encourage your child to walk along it to practise balancing skills.

• Cubbyhouses are fantastic for children of all ages – an old sheet over the dining table is enough.

time and media consumption, I’ll be the fi rst to admit, yes, it is easier to let tech toys cast their spell.

My children recently accompanied me to an hour-long board meeting during which I needed to ensure they would be on their best behaviour. As a hedge against fi dgeting, I allowed one child a handheld game device and the other an iPad. Even with the sound turned down on both devices, they were lulled into that techno-coma, spared the real-time experience of what actually was a rather boring meeting. (In fact, there may have been an adult or two checking emails or sending texts during much of the discussion.)

Taylor is quick to point out that technology on its own is neither good nor bad. A television, computer or phone is value-neutral. It’s how we choose to engage with it that has consequences.

We know these devices are changing the ways in which our brains work, yet we don’t know what the long-term impact on our children will be. But there is evidence of deleterious effects on attention spans and our ability to focus as our time spent with technology increases. Taylor also raises the question of opportunity costs, suggesting that the time spent on a computer, phone, tablet or video game is time a child is not engaged in potentially healthy behaviours, such as developing their imaginative and creative skills through unassisted play.

Furthermore, there is no evidence that the early use of technology is educationally benefi cial, Taylor says. “If a kid wants to learn how to play chess, get a chess board. There are better ways to learn, to develop skills, through three-dimensional human

interaction and physical manipulation,” he says.He encourages parents to think about and discuss

the role they want technology to play in their family’s life. He supports the American Academy of Paediatric recommendation of no screen exposure before the age of two. He suggests that an hour a day – after homework and sports and certainly not during dinner – may be a reasonable amount of tech time for some families.

But parents fi rst need to examine their own attitudes and behaviour, he says. If the grown-ups are browsing the internet on their laptops or checking their phones during meals and on trips to the park, that behaviour sends a much more powerful message than the rules we attempt to establish.

In a world ruled by connectivity, it may seem counter-intuitive to try to keep our children unplugged for much of their young lives. But those are precisely the years when children will develop their habits, beliefs and attitudes about technology use, Taylor argues. They become hard-wired and are likely to return to the default settings exposed to when they were young, he says. AAP

NEWSPAPER CONGLOMERATE POSTS MASSIVE WRITE-DOWN

APN News & Media made a loss of $319.4 million in the six months to June

after taking $485 million off the value of its New Zealand publishing business.

APN owns regional newspapers – including the Sunshine Coast Daily and the Queensland Times – and radio stations across Australia and New Zealand.

The company said the write-down on the New Zealand business refl ected prevailing media industry conditions.

“It has been a tough fi rst half for our publishing businesses, particularly in New Zealand,” chief executive Brett Chenoweth said in a statement last week.

“While it is clearly a diffi cult result, our newspapers have remained very profi table and relevant despite diffi cult advertising markets and structural challenges.”

Earnings of $21.7 million from APN’s New Zealand publishing business in the six months to June were down 20 per cent from the previous corresponding period. Its Australian publishing division posted a nine per cent drop to $21.2 million.

The company says if the decline in publishing revenues continues, earnings from its combined publishing operations will post similar falls in the second calendar half of 2012.

APN’s Australian radio business earnings of $23.8 million was up 11 per cent on the previous corresponding period.

Its outdoor advertising business also performed well, but its earnings were diluted by APN’s recently announced sales of half of the business in a joint venture with a private equity fi rm, Chenoweth said. AAP

Health insurer nib has posted a steady profi t result and forecast a similar performance in the year ahead.

Nib made a net profi t of $67.6 million in the year to June 30, up three per cent from $65.5 million in the previous year. The company’s preferred measure of performance, its underwriting profi t, was $70.7 million.

That was up 1.6 per cent from the previous year on a like-for-like basis, managing director Mark Fitzgibbon said in a recent statement. Despite the expected impact of the introduction of income testing of the Federal Government health insurance rebate, the market would keep growing, Fitzgibbon said.

“Increasingly, people don’t want to risk having to rely only on the public health system,” he said in a statement. “Add to this low interest rates, growing employment and national wealth.

The company expected to make an underwriting profi t in the range of $70 million to $75 million in the 2012/13 fi nancial year, Fitzgibbon said. Nib declared a fully-franked fi nal dividend of fi ve cents per share. AAP

DRILLING DOWN ON MINING

Every year since 1992 the historic gold rush town of Kalgoorlie has hosted the annual Diggers and Dealers conference.

It’s the biggest mining conference in the southern hemisphere. The three-day event is the showcase for all things mining, with 2000-plus delegates coming from mining and exploration companies, brokers, bankers, investors, fi nanciers and mining service industries. It’s an opportunity for up-and-coming mining hopefuls to spruik their

story and for those companies that have made the big time to update their faithful followers.

This year’s conference didn’t disappoint the thousands who made the pilgrimage. It was reported that the mood was surprisingly upbeat, considering the cold market sentiment towards small and mid-cap miners. Even fears of a European meltdown and the slowdown in China didn’t dampen the enthusiasm. It was a feeling of when the industry turns around, not if.

The key themes emerging from the conference were in funding, merger and acquisition activity, exploration, growth expectations and costs. Firstly with funding, it is expected the juniors will struggle to raise new money, though companies whose exploration has been successful are seeing new money fl ow their way.

Mergers and acquisitions are starting to gain momentum. In particular, we are seeing consolidation in the gold sector, with several companies joining forces. Costs are always a hot topic and still a real concern for companies to manage. Costs have been increasing from a structural point of view as a result of declining grades, increases in depths of mines, increasing costs of exploration, higher strip ratios and higher energy costs.

The winner of the coveted Digger of the Year award was Sandfi re Resources, a gold and copper company that has seen its share price rise from four cents in 2009 to a current price of $7.50. Who said you can’t make money in this environment?

A few other companies to keep your eye on include Ampella Mining (AMX) and Northern Star Mining (NST). Our analyst described the latter as one of the standout stories from the conference. Northern Star has shown great management in handling cash fl ow and turning an unloved asset around by spending money on intelligent exploration, similar to the Sandfi re story.

Let’s hope the industry does indeed turn around sooner rather than later.Anthony Ward is a Representative of Ord Minnett Ltd, AFS licence 237121.

to be a seafood occasion and so chose a bottle of Domain Christian Salmon sauvignon blanc from Sancerre, France (I told you it was extensive). A good choice, as the wine had a nuance of ripe pear with a balanced structure and a hint of romantic indulgence about it. Our wine was accompanied by a serve of olive and feta fl atbread with lemon ($11). The olive and feta is tart to taste, but the lemon reduction causes the tartness to meld beautifully in the mouth on impact.

For starters, we indulged in the Hervey Bay scallops served with shallots and mint chilli salsa and tiger prawns, accompanied by fennel celeriac. It was refreshing being served scallops without the usual deluge of sauce, as we were left to enjoy their exquisite freshness and the delicate, slightly oceany taste. The tiger prawns were a taste sensation, as they were served with a fennel celeriac and a mix of orange and dates. The aroma was delightful and the taste was heavenly. The orange and date were a surprising mesh, but complemented each other perfectly. Both entrees were around $18 and for seafood, I thought it was good value.

For the main I selected the Moreton Bay bugs with honey mustard marinade and served with fennel, basil and tomato salad. The bugs mixed with honey had a sweet, mellow fi nish and the salad was fresh and aromatic. My dining partner decided on the barramundi jungle curry sauce and

In the words of Pretty Woman’s Vivian, “Big mistake.” That is what I did when I ventured to Tides restaurant at Bulcock Beach. So what

was the mistake? It was attending this restaurant at night and missing out on the most expansive water views the Coast has to offer. This restaurant has million-dollar views that can be enjoyed only during the daytime, however, nighttime dining has a special ambience not to be missed either.

Upon entering, we were cheerfully greeted by a delightful waitress, and I so enjoy being seated with the wine list and menu in hand – it’s always a great start to an evening. The wine list is extensive – eight pages long – and we were pleasantly surprised by the wide range of wine that could be purchased by the glass.

There was a good choice of truly remarkable quality wines, ranging from $9 to $18 dollars a glass. There is even a ‘scotch bar’ page, which makes great reading (scotch from six different regions of Scotland, no less), and contains scotches like a 21-year-old Johnny Walker Blue at $29 a glass! The hero of the champagne list is Perrier, but the selection is broad and reasonably priced. One gets the impression the reason the wine list is so extensive is because you could spend hours sitting out on the verandah, taking in the view all while sipping away on a special bottle or two!

Inspired by the setting, we decided it just had

FOOD WITH A VIEW

lemongrass rice. The presentation of the fi sh was well thought out, the curry was not too hot and blended well with the lemongrass rice combination, and it was a very generous size indeed. The mains were priced at about $30 to $40.

If seafood is not your thing, there is also a whole ‘premium steak selection’ page, with a huge 500-gram T-bone from the Gippsland district taking centre stage, hitting the scales at about $36 and served with the classic beer-battered chips.

If you are a dessert person, you will be pleased with selections like the peanut brittle parfait or the Grand Marnier creme brulee (all around $13 ). I tucked into a warm lemon pudding which had the delightful sensation of sweet and sour and as it sat on my tongue just melted away.

The chef, Wayne Smith, has put together some great variations like a six-course degustation at $75 a head with wines to match, and I think that I might be tempted back to try that, as it would be a delightful way to let a lazy Sunday afternoon slip by.

Tides also caters for dairy- and gluten-free diners. For the past three-and-a-half years, owner Michael Mulhearn has taken full advantage of his restaurant’s position and not fallen into the trap of relying on the view to get them over the line (although he could and quite easily). This restaurant has stylish offerings and no surcharge for public holidays – smart.

Sunshine Coast reggae fans are in for a treat this weekend, as local bands The

Floating Bridges and The Green Room headline the fi nal free community SunDayze Series concert at Moffat Beach.

The council-run event, themed ‘Island Beatz’, will be held at Eleanor Shipley Memorial Park from 2pm. Families will be catered for with free face painting and a jumping castle.

The Floating Bridges’ fusion of roots, funk, rock and reggae, along

with their energetic live performances, has seen the fi ve-piece gain popularity over the past few years, landing support gigs with Jimmy Barnes and John Butler. The Green Room’s creative sound blends reggae infl uences with surf rock undertones and delivers a positive message in a high-energy stage show.

A taste of the Caribbean will come courtesy of The Pantastic Steelband, a roving three-piece who entertain with bright, rhythmic music played on Trinidadian steel drums.

OK GUYS, YOUR TURN

A contraceptive pill for men is a step closer following a discovery by US scientists.

Researchers found a compound called JQ1 disrupts the development of sperm, decreasing sperm count and mobility. But in a crucial fi nding, the effects of JQ1 are reversible.

Mice given the drug became infertile but when treatment stopped, sperm production returned to normal and healthy offspring were conceived afterwards. There was also no impact on testosterone production or sex drive.

The study, published in the journal Cell, concluded that although the drug had been tested on mice, it would probably work in humans due to reproductive similarities.

“These fi ndings suggest that a reversible, oral male contraceptive may be possible,” says study author Dr James Bradner, from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

Australian male fertility expert

Professor Robert McLachlan says the researchers has targeted a factor in DNA remodelling that is essential for sperm production, blocking the cell division necessary to produce normal sperm. However, he says lengthy research will be needed in animals before it can even begin tests in humans.

“The development of a potential contraceptive is a very long and arduous process leading up to the fi rst human studies,” McLachlan, the director of clinical research at Prince Henry’s Institute in Victoria, says.

He adds that not all of the mice had sperm counts reduced to zero, and for the drug to be useful it will need to be proven to be almost universally effective. Although the reproductive systems in mice and men are similar, proof is needed in human sperm production.

“Research will need to confi rm the authors’ assertion that the drug is free of adverse effects on other tissues and that it is fully reversible,” McLachlan says. “Ultimately, the

compound will need to face the challenge of male contraception effi cacy trials involving hundreds of couples over several years in order to assess its true effectiveness,” he says, adding the evaluation process could take around 15 years.

The authors of the study acknowledged there will be concern that targeting male cells will result in irreversible toxicity or

infertility. However, they say only full recovery was observed in the treated males.

“We envision that our discoveries can be completely translated to men, providing a novel and effi cacious strategy for a male contraceptive,” the study says.

The JQ1 compound was originally made at Dana-Farber to block a

cancer-causing gene and has proved effective in

laboratory tests of lung cancer and

some blood cancers. AAP

Share your painRheumatoid arthritis is a painful and degenerative disease that can severely impact on sufferers’ quality of life.

Sunshine Coast residents suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and looking for natural ways to manage pain are invited to join a local support group, which meets monthly to provide resources and share stories.

Trudi Bareham, who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis three-and-a-half years ago, started the group to “share resources with other people who want to look at ways of helping themselves, whether or not they take disease modifying drugs”.

“It is about exchanging stories, information, and above all offering hope of a more pain-free life through educating themselves about diet and lifestyle,” Bareham says.

The local business community is looking forward to the 2012

Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network Awards Gala, which will be held this Saturday night at The Events Centre, Caloundra. Now in its 14th year, the awards program aims to celebrate the outstanding success and contribution of the Coast’s working women.

This year the SCBWN received more than 140 nominations and 50 written submissions. “Usually the woman will be nominated by a business colleague or family friend, someone who sees her as an outstanding business woman,” says Michelle Hamer, who has been chair of the judging committee for the past 10 years.

“From there we write to those ladies and ask them to prepare an application to come in. There are nine questions, ranging from their business plans through to personal insights into their idea of success, what it means to them.”

Three judges then sit down over a weekend and narrow the fi eld to 30 fi nalists. Each year the judging panel includes some previous winners, and this time Hamer

invited last year’s Outstanding Business Woman, Kim McCosker, and 2010 winner Lindy Atkin to help select the fi nalists.

“First of all, we’re looking for women who are demonstrating passion, knowledge and plans for going forward in their business,” Hamer says. “People who can demonstrate they have a good business plan, who are looking at their business holistically; and that’s not just about work – there needs to be a balance that we bring into our lives as well.”

Finalists are selected across four categories: Corporate Business Woman, Micro/Small Business Woman, Professional Business Woman and Young Business Woman. A winner from each category will be announced on the night, along with an overall award for the Outstanding Business Woman. As part of the judging process each fi nalist also attends a face-to-face interview, which Hamer says refl ects the holistic approach required for business success.

“In business it’s not just about a face-to-face meeting, so that’s why we have two judging processes make up the judging,” she says.

There are six judges in total, with three looking at a fi nalist’s written submission and three attending the interview. “Each judge scores independently and that information comes back to pick the winners,” Hamer says.

The selection process for the Outstanding Business Woman is slightly different, with all of the judges “locking themselves in a room” for hours to debate which fi nalist is most worthy of the accolade. “We put all the ladies on the table and ask, who’s the one who is coming to share their time, who is going to give back to the Coast’s business and social community – who is going to be available to mentor and inspire our members, and the wider business community,” Hamer says.

This same desire to give back is refl ected in the judging panel, who are often extremely busy but

volunteer their time to support the awards program. “The judges that are there are outstanding business people in themselves from across the Coast, and they give their time freely,” Hamer says.

This year, they have been especially impressed by the strength and motivation of the fi nalists, who are determined to succeed in a challenging economic environment – and who have the knowledge, skills and positive mindset required to make this happen.

“There are an enormous amount of quiet achievers on the Coast, and solid strength there in different businesses,” Hamer says. “This year there are a lot of businesses we’d never seen before. What we’re seeing more and more of is those quiet achievers stepping up and saying, ‘it’s time now to show the Coast and world that we are achieving’.”

How did you get your start in business? My husband and I had a massage equipment supply business, but conversations with customers were dominated by how they were attracting clients and promoting their new businesses. When some massage students suggested I run marketing workshops, I knew I had stumbled on a winner. Name the three key factors for your success. Tenacity, adaptability and a can-do attitude. Advice for those in business in this tough economic climate? Don’t go it alone, personally or professionally. Joint venture with other businesses to deliver a greater product and service than you can on your own.

What do you love about your business? My professional and personal life are connected and I love that. I get to do what I love and be involved in purposeful activities, go to amazing places and be with people who share the same hopes, goals and wishes I do. What people inspire you? Carla Zampatti is someone who radiates self-belief and I learnt from her it’s important to get more comfortable with taking risks, taking a chance on your dream. My friends who have loved me through this journey and my wonderful husband Eric.What is your personal motto?I can go from ordinary to extraordinary, I just need guts and I need to try.

What do you love about your job? Satisfaction in helping people turn their dreams into their reality. What people inspire you? One of the smartest women in business today is Tyra Banks.

Refer-ability is essential in building your business in a tough economic climate. You have to nurture these business relationships to enhance trust, respect and opportunities.

How did you get your start in business? I started work in the marketing and advertising industry in Sydney. The companies I worked for focused on brand development, consistency and awareness, igniting in me a love of all things ‘brand’. What do you love about your job? I love to be creative and build relationships with my clients and be as excited about their business as they are. Most small to medium businesses refl ect their owners’ business ethics and who they are as a person. It’s great to be able to translate that into a logo, business cards, fl yers or their website.What is your personal motto?It all comes down to love. I love what I do and I love life.

What kind of results should I expect?Everyone can expect some collagen tightening.

Many patients have seen• Smoother, tighter skin with less sagging

• Redef ned contours along the jaw line and under the chin

• Softening of wrinkles and f ne lines around the mouth, eyes and forehead

• Tightening the saggy skin under the chin

As you age, the collagen in your skin breaks down resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin. Thermage uses patented radio frequency (RF) technology to safely heat the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating existing collagen and promoting new collagen growth for younger looking skin.

How long will the results last?The effects continue to improve for up to six months following a single treatment. Results can last for years depending on your skin condition and natural aging process.

How long before I can return to my normal activities?There’s no special care needed after the procedure and most patients return to their regular activities immediately following treatment.

LATEST TECHNOLOGYThe Thermage ‘Comfort Pulse Technology’ represents a leap forward in skin tightening and contouring technology. Superior results and greater patient comfort are the core of this new system

The Thermage FaceThe procedure can help smooth and tighten your skin for an overall naturally younger looking appearance without surgery or injections.

What do you love about your job? I love my interaction with new mums and dads who are navigating the confusing new world of parenthood. By providing sustainable and organic parenting products, as well as education and sustainable parenting practices, I am able to assist parents to make the best choices for their little ones and the planet. Advice for those in business in this tough economic climate?Stay true to your core business vision. Don’t compromise your values and ethics to make a quick buck and always value your customers. Remember why they came to you in the fi rst place, and they’ll always come back.

How did you get your start in business? I did my chef’s apprenticeship with Guy Grossi so I have always had a love for food, and after having my two children I found the passion for food preparation still alive, but the emphasis had moved to the baking and decorating of beautiful cakes.My business began as a hobby, but quickly grew from that to a full-time job when the beauty and taste of my cakes excited family and friends and the demand for my cakes expanded rapidly through simple word of mouth.What is your personal motto?Aristotle said, “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” I think this is great and it rings true for me.

What people inspire you? Risk-takers. Those who follow their passions and live their dreams even if it doesn’t seem right on paper. I love hearing stories of people making dramatic career changes later in life. It’s never too late to live your dream.Advice for those in business in this tough economic climate? Take time to work on your business instead of in it. Research your customers and get to know them intimately. Then gather colleagues, mentors, friends and staff to brainstorm solutions. The best ideas are found when you are forced outside the box. What is your personal motto? Do what you love.

How did you get your start in business? I worked my way up from an entry-level sales position. It was natural for me to fi nd ways to implement and develop new ideas to increase revenue. Making it extremely diffi cult to be replaced as a staff member is what put me in the position to be able to go into business for myself.Advice for those in business in this tough economic climate? Adjust to suit the times – always look for ways to give people more value for their dollar as opposed to just increasing the cost of your product to cover yourself in hard times. I have found the easiest way to do this is to join forces with other businesses.

MAKE/MODELJAGUAR XKR-S

DETAILS Two-plus-two-seat, two-door, high-performance coupe with supercharged V8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission.

TECH STUFF5-litre alloy supercharged V8 with variable valve timing, active exhaust system and direct fuel injection produces 405kW@6000rpm, 680Nm of torque; six-speed automatic transmission with Active Differential, wheel-mounted gearshift paddles.

PERFORMANCE0-100km/h in 4.4 seconds; 100-180km/h in 7.6 seconds; top speed 300km/h (electronically limited).

FEATURESCarbon leather sports seats; seven-inch touch-screen cabin command system; premium Bowers and Wilkins audio system; electric seats, windows and mirrors; aerodynamic body kit; performance exhaust, 20-inch signature alloy wheels.

THIRST12.3L/100km.

VERDICT Sublime? Yep. Ridiculous? Perhaps. But absolutely phenomenal.

BOTTOM LINE $340,000.

Not satisf ed with that, the Jaguar engineers decided to add a supercharger to that glorious V8. The result was the XKR – same beautiful lines – but with an additional 95 kilowatts, and the ability to scorch the pavement on its way to a 0 to 100 kilometre-per-hour time of 4.8 seconds. It’s one of the most delicious, desirable cars we’ve ever tested, leaving little to the imagination.

If you could think about ways to improve it, the last thing to spring to mind would be that it needed more power. But seeing you didn’t ask for more performance,

They say power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. So you might as

well just lock me up now and throw away the key.

Those folk at Jaguar have ruined my reputation forever. The problem, you see, is the Jaguar XKR-S – the most powerful road-going machine ever to wear the famous leaping cat logo.

A car that has taken the grand old British brand from the sublime to the ridiculous.

To understand why this car is so outrageous, it’s helpful to look at its family tree.

First came the XK. A beautiful, sporty-yet-luxurious two-plus-two coupe, with a ref ned yet powerful V8 engine. One of the most beautiful machines of recent times, it boasted all those famous Jaguar characteristics – grace, pace, space (OK, not so much of the space). Its V8 engine produced 280 kilowatts and it would reach the speed limit in a most respectable 5.5 seconds.

Jaguar has delivered it anyway.Enter the XKR-S – which takes that

snarling supercharged V8 and turns it up a few notches. The result is a car that pumps out an unconscionable 405 kilowatts and 680 Newton metres and which resides in the true supercar performance category.

In just 4.4 seconds – less time than it takes to tie your shoelaces – this car will have you f ashing past the speed limit on its way to a top speed

of 300 kilometres per hour – at which point an electronic speed limiter will prevent it from going even faster.

The acceleration is pulverising – pinning occupants back in their seats as the massive rear tyres scratch and scrabble for traction. It’s the kind of performance you would rarely have the chance to use, particularly on Australian roads with Australian rules.

The XKR-S is an exercise in doing something not because you need to – or even because you want to – merely because you can. And those who buy it will do so for the exact same reason.

It also costs a jaw-dropping $340,000, which is $100,000 more than the sublime XKR. For that price you get nine per cent more power and eight per cent more torque. You also get an uncharacteristically overt body treatment.

Jaguar notes, somewhat pointlessly, that the XKR-S sips 12.3 litres per 100 kilometres on average – and its emissions are “less

than 300 grams per kilometre”. Less than an Airbus A380, too, in case you’re wondering.

In some ways, the XKR-S ceases to be what made the XK so special in the fi rst place – beautiful, sporty and yet somehow an expression of classy understatement. The XKR-S is about as understated as golfer John Daly’s wardrobe.

There’s a massive aerodynamic wing across the XK’s once-shapely

rear end – made necessary by this car’s thunderous power and fearsome acceleration – designed simply to keep it from taking off.

The car also sits 10 millimetres lower than the XKR, has fi rmer suspension and a stiffer chassis. Its electronic dampers monitor and adjust the suspension settings 500 times every second – keeping those massive low-profi le tyres perfectly glued to the pavement.

There’s also a body kit around the front and sides, which leaves it looking more like Mad Max’s V8 Interceptor than the elegantly sculpted car from which it is derived. The aggressive look is accentuated by the all-black presentation of our test car – black paint, massive black 20-inch (50-centimetre) Vulcan alloy wheels, black grille, black trim.

Jaguar calls it “a bespoke aerodynamic package”, developed using “computational fl uid dynamics”. I call it black and scary.

The XKR-S’s extra $100 grand pricetag also gets you absolutely massive brakes – 380 millimetres on the front and 376 millimetres on the rear – which stop the car like you’ve reached the end of a very long rope.

And a Performance Active exhaust – which effectively opens the car’s throat more quickly when you demand full acceleration – both enhances its performance and the incredible sound it emits.

The performance improvements on the XKR-S were developed by Jaguar’s Test and Engineering Centre, located at Germany’s famed Nurburgring. The car, by the way, managed to lap the famous circuit in a blazing seven minutes, 51 seconds – which is indecently quick.

Inside, the treatment is also all about speed. The seats – Recaro-

Hold on tight: you’re in for a wild ride with the Jaguar XKR-S

style sports buckets which seem to wrap around you from every angle – are magnifi cent. They are among the best seats we’ve ever settled into and perfect for the huge g-forces this car creates in corners.

The seats can be adjusted in 16 different ways. Yes, 16. So a comfy driving position is not hard to fi nd. The interior is beautifully fi nished in carbon fi bre and sumptuous leather (which, for some reason Jaguar calls “carbon leather”). Hopefully Julia Gillard won’t put a tax on it.

There’s a very intuitive touch-screen with sat-nav and all manner of adjustments for the cabin setup, including the imperious Bowers and Wilkins audio system.

There’s the now-familiar Jaguar rotary gear selector, which rises from the centre console when you press the start button – it pulses like a heartbeat, inviting you to press it. And when you do, it fi res up the most extraordinary sound from the big cat’s quad exhaust pipes. One critic described the sounds as like dropping a drum kit down an elevator shaft, which is close.

There’s certainly a rattling rawness to this engine, which is a world away from the silken burble of the basic XK – reminiscent of the harsh bark of BMW’S M-Sport engines, or those from Mercedes-AMG. Which is, of course, the point. As the revs rise, that rattle becomes a symphonic wail – eight pistons and the whine of the supercharger howling in unison – the scenery becomes a blur and things in your rear-vision mirrors become small very quickly indeed.

Of course, like the standard XK, the rear seat is a token gesture. It would be OK for very small children, perhaps. But even a few minutes folded into the rear was enough to leave one of my teenagers nursing numb feet and a stiff neck.

And putting a set of golf clubs into the rear hatch means removing a couple of the longest clubs – the rear seats don’t fold forward because of a massive beam which runs widthways across the rear of the car to stiffen its suspension.

If it sounds like I didn’t enjoy this car, that would be dead wrong. It’s a magnifi cent piece of engineering. Sublime. Ridiculous. And whatever comes next.

Above all, powerful. And when you have this much

power at your disposal, it’s hard not to be just a little corrupted by it.

DRINNANS DO THE COAST PROUD

If you’ve bought or sold a few cars on the Coast in the past 30 years, chances are you’ve come across a Drinnan.

Doug Drinnan, the founder of Caloundra City Autos, is also known in the community as a philanthropist. And his son Phil is ensuring the family name is carried on in the local car industry.

Doug established what was to become Caloundra City Autos in 1979, when there were far fewer car dealers in the region. “He was in Caloundra for 30 years,” says Phil. “I ran it with him for seven years and then the family sold that business.”

That was in 2010 and Doug has since kept himself busy with his proposed Meridan Plains community centre. He has also been involved with Buderim Goodlife Community Centre, and his philanthropy extends to sponsoring children through Compassion Australia, building orphanages in India and offering aid to Africa.

Phil is well known as the dealer principal at Sunshine Coast Honda. But car buyers might be surprised to bump into the senior Drinnan at the Kunda Park showroom. Phil says Doug recently joined the team as a consultant. “He keeps his hand in the industry,” says Phil. “We just want to continue the [Caloundra City] motto of doing things right by our customers, the community and our staff.”

[ M O T O R I N G ]

Every day we hear about the manufacturing industry in Australia being in decline, but local manufacturers Free Spirit Caravans are bucking the trend, and winning awards in the process. The latest recognition for the Caloundra-based business was recently given by Manufacturing Skills Queensland.

According to Free Spirit’s director Elaine Foster,“It seems MSQ are recognising companies who are transferring new technologies and creating a new skilled workforce. They came and saw what we are doing, that we are using different practices and a different type of welding and they were impressed with how many apprentices we had.”

Other things MSQ noted were Free Spirit’s patented chassis design, the caravans’ fl ooring systems, and the company’s research and development of the new walling panels.

COVER STORY

BEAUTIFUL BATHROOMS,

CLASSY KPREVIEWWith spring around the corner it’s time for many to think renovations. The most commonly revamped rooms are always the kitchen and bathroom. Are yours looking a little tired? Read on for inspiration.

Kitchens

Want a space you’ll be glad to slave away in? The trends in kitchens are all about looking good while functioning well so you can cook like a pro.

Cooking ranges – Restaurant-style cooking ranges include many things. They are usually combinations of gas burners, grill, a wok burner plus a fryer and/or a steamer. Above all this there is a full-length hood providing maximum ventilation. Oh, and don’t forget the pasta fi ller

on the wall. But wait. You don’t have to own a restaurant to get all this. You can have it all in your own home if you choose. What if you don’t want all of that but do want some of it? All major appliance companies now offer 40- to 60-centimetre cooking modules that fi t into your benchtop so you can pick the cooktops you want. There is even a steamer oven that can be built into the wall. Of course, if you still want it all, you can include a prep station and a computer station in your ideal kitchen.

Tall walls – Tall walls are popular these days. A tall wall is one that houses stacked appliances such as a double oven plus a warming drawer or a double oven with a TV above, all built in. Tall walls usually fi ll an entire wall, so next to the ovens you might have a small work station with cabinets above and next to that the refrigerator/freezer unit.

Raised dishwashers – Dishwashers clean much better these days, but one thing that never made sense is how low to the ground you have to get to load and unload them. There are innovative designers who can raise the dishwasher for easier handling and it is easy to accomplish. A base is placed under the conventional dishwasher. The base is similar to those you see used under front-loading washing machines. Then the benchtop above the dishwasher is raised and used for prep work or for adding cabinets.

Modular fridges – It seems that refrigerators and freezers are going modular. There are many companies that offer separate all-refrigerator and all-freezer options, and they come with glass doors and stainless steel, too.

Keeping it clean – Organisation in the kitchen is always a must. You will easily fi nd every form of organisational gadget on the market today, some of which include pull-out pantries, recycling organisers and spice organisers. Also available are compartmentalised drawers for cooking utensils or whatever you want to compartmentalise. Sinks come in all types of sizes and shapes and some even include integrated cutting boards. And surely you’ve seen the advertisements for the hands-free taps. What a great idea. AAP

Bathroom supplier Reece recently revealed the top bathroom buying trends it believes home owners will be embracing in the next 12 months. So what is hot in the wet rooms?

Freestanding baths – A few decades ago, a freestanding bath meant a grubby old clawfoot destined for the tip, but Reece reckons the popularity of freestanding baths has tripled in the past few years. And there are plenty of styles, shapes, sizes and colours to choose from now, as designers and home owners eagerly embrace this trend.

Heated rails – There is nothing worse than jumping out of the bath or shower and throwing on the towel, only to discover it is still damp from the last time you used it, especially in the cooler months. Heated towel rails are increasingly popular additions in bathroom renos. “Australian home owners enjoy the instant touch of luxury a heated towel rail offers; it is the must-have luxury item of the bathroom,” says Reece Bathroom marketing manager Belinda Geels. As the popularity increases prices have come down and eco-friendlier rails are also available. Customisable furniture – Australian consumers are as considered as they have ever been when redoing the bathroom. With furniture and accessories carefully selected for form and function, the bathroom becomes even more

personalised. Reece reports “signifi cant growth in the bathroom furniture category”. “Many vanity units now incorporate hidden compartments and additional storage options, which are particularly popular with customers,” says Geels. “There has been a distinct move from simple cabinetry to elegant pieces of furniture.”

Twin rail showers – Who would have thought the humble showerhead came in the array of styles that can now be found in the bathroom showroom? And many of these save water without impacting on the shower experience. Reece reports that twin rail showers are hugely popular. “A twin rail shower unit offers fl exibility for busy households, with the benefi ts of fully customisable height adjustments on the rail shower and a large overhead drencher for the ultimate showering experience,” says Geels.

Back-to-wall toilets – Back-to-wall toilet suites are also big sellers, as consumers look for clean,

simple lines and compact hardware. Geels says, “The sleek hidden waste trap makes the back-to-wall suites appealing to those desiring an elegant, fi nished look and makes cleaning effi cient for time-poor households.”

The ‘mini makeover’ – There are so many bathroom products and stylish accessories and furniture now on the market, that home owners are doing their own bathroom facelifts. Replacing tapware and showerheads, popping in new storage, repainting and adding a few functional pieces of furniture can transform the room.

CAROLANS: A TOP OFFICE

NEWS & VIEWS

First National Carolans made an impression at the real estate

network’s national General Excellence and Marketing (GEM) Awards held during First National’s annual convention in Bali.

NATIONAL SURVEY SAYS…A national survey commissionedby St George Bank has found the average Australian home buyer spends more than seven months searching, does around 90 hours of research and inspects 12 properties before fi nally settling on a property to buy.

Yet the nation’s average home buyer spends just one hour actually inspecting the property they will eventually buy before making probably the most important purchasing decision of their lives.

“Most people will look at a new car for longer than they inspect the home they buy,” says Andy Fell, who is the general manager St George Retail Banking.

Undertaken by Lonergan Research in mid-July 2012 in all states and territories, the survey fi ndings revealed

Robyn Bayf eld

The awards recognise the network’s top performers from around the nation and Carolans principal Peter Wrigley says the standard was high.

His offi ce was recognised for having the highest gain of property under management in the residential and combined categories for a medium offi ce.

Wrigley hopes the year ahead will be even more rewarding for his team. “All the staff should be very proud of their efforts,” he adds.

And that team of people just gets bigger with Robyn Bayfi eld joining the Carolans offi ce as a property manager. Bayfi eld has a background in business and communication and has worked in property management for 16 years.

Australian property buyers spend an average of 3.2 hours per week for 28 weeks (or a total of 89.5 hours) on the research, which includes planning, inspecting and visiting real estate agents.

Smartphones are quickly becoming a must-have tool for property buyers with the survey fi nding more than one in four prospective buyers have used one to access information on a property while at an inspection. However, it also found that about half the respondents still rely on a pen and notepad to record their impressions.

SNAP UP SOME LAND IN LANDSBOROUGHFor country ambience, close proximity to mountains and beach, and the convenience of a train station, you can’t beat this.

The bushland setting and large home sites at Pathways Landsborough are attracting the attention of a range of buyers,

according to Pathways onsite sales consultant Scott Heaney of Next Property Group.

Heaney says land is still available. “Two homes are currently under construction for owner-occupiers by Hallmark Homes and GJ Gardner Homes and by the end of spring we will have six houses completed,” he says. “It’s great to see these homes under construction after so many delays due to the weather and I know buyers are eager to move in and take advantage of the lifestyle we have to offer at Pathways.

“The roads, pathways and landscaping are all in place, we are connected to town sewer and water, underground electricity and the internet so there is nothing to do but build

your dream home and move in to enjoy this beautiful neighbourhood,” he adds.

Stage one has attracted strong interest from buyers seeking 700-square metre blocks of land starting at $188,500. For those looking for even more space and privacy, blocks are available up to 1139 square metres.

“We have had a lot of enquiries from people living in nearby towns on very large acreage land who want to downsize and enjoy the convenience of maintenance-free home sites, as well as easy access to shopping and public transport,” Heaney says. “We also have interest from families who live on smaller blocks and now want more space for their kids to run around, as well as the convenience of being close to schools and sporting amenities.

“There is no other new land available in the Landsborough area, so now is the time to secure a slice of paradise with bushland and mountain views, and a perfect northerly aspect. One third of Pathways will remain open space with walking tracks winding throughout the neighbourhood and bushland through to the banks of Mellum Creek,” Heaney says.

Pathways is on Lower Mount Mellum Road, minutes to Landsborough town centre. Schools,

sporting facilities, shopping precincts and the historic pub are all within easy reach, and for commuters, there is the regular train service and bus interchange.

For more information phone 5439 9001 or visit www.pathwayslandsborough.com.au.

Darryl Paine from GJ Gardner oversees construction of a home at Pathways.

There is no other new land available in the Landsborough

area, so now is the time to secure a slice of paradise

HOROSCOPESARIES March 21-April 20 There’s fiery, frantic energy around but, in your hurry to get things done, you may overlook important details. You’re keen for excitement but make sure you don’t go too far out on a limb.

TAURUS April 21-May 21 Are you stuck in a comfy Taurus rut? The moon’s in spontaneous Sagittarius this weekend, so it’s time to be more adventurous as you throw off your comfy slippers and go for it!

GEMINI May 22-June 21 The Sagittarian moon adds sizzle and spark to close relationships. Have fun with a loved one, and leave domestic dramas for another time. Your intuition is sparking so make sure you use it.

CANCER June 22-July 23 It’s time to blast out of your crab comfort zone. You’ll find you’re attracted to unusual topics, people and places. Let your hair down and do something different.

LEO July 24-Aug 23 It’s a great weekend to shake off the physical and mental cobwebs. You’re in the mood to embark on a big adventure or get passionate about a new hobby or project.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 You’re running around multitasking all over the place – but are you actually getting anything done? When it comes to a close relationship, you can look forward to a pleasant surprise.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 You’re keen to accomplish a lot over the next two days, but don’t take on more than you can comfortably handle. Leave plenty of time in your Libran weekend for travel and adventure.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 If you think outside the box this weekend, you’ll make financial progress. The Sagittarian moon boosts your self-esteem and helps you feel more positive about your current circumstances.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Expect an action-packed weekend, when you’re keen to explore and experiment. Are you bored with your peer group? Perhaps it’s time to find friendships within a new crowd?

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 You need to promote yourself big time, as you push forward personally and professionally. Partnerships and joint ventures are favoured, as you come up with creative Capricorn ideas.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 You’re in the mood to communicate in your own highly individual way. Contacts within your local community will be beneficial, as you find friendship and support in unlikely places.

PISCES Feb 20-March 20 Examine your professional goals and check that they are a true expression of the real you. Sunday’s Mars/Neptune trine helps procrastinating Pisceans put creative ideas into practice.
