Farewell Simon

Simon Rayner, who has been the Hotel Manager at The

Royal Nundah for the past six years, has finished his

time at The Royal.

Simon spearheaded the renovations at The Royal six

years ago, which relaunched as a quality Italian restaurant

in a much-loved Aussie pub setting.

During Simon’s time at The Royal they have been

finalists in the Queensland Hotels Association Awards

for two consecutive years, and the restaurant has

been accredited with Ospitalita Italiana, a quality seal

recognised by the Italian Government.

“It has been a wonderful journey over the last six

years meeting lots of amazing people and watching

families grow along with ours,” says Simon.

All the very best to Simon in his new role!

7 Years of Loving Nundah

This month we are celebrating. At this time in 2013 we officially

launched Loving Nundah (the magazine) for you. With nervous

hopeful energy and a few local supporters we began this journey,

not really knowing where it would end up.

Our small local team have now put together 43 issues of the

magazine. Loving Nundah has grown organically across print,

social media and digital reaching a large local audience. Seven

years of sharing local stories with you. Seven years producing

something “by us and for us”.

I’ve noticed that traditional news, media and advertising play

on our insecurities and fears. That is not what we are about – we

thrive on promoting the positive doers in our community, sharing

what is happening for locals and the stories that connect us.

We can all buy well this holiday season, by

supporting our local businesses. Take a moment

to enjoy what we have on offer – visit the Nundah

Farmers Markets, our local parks, the Upstairs

Precinct at Toombul, go to the Nundah Library,

grab a coffee in Nundah Village, and check out

local shops and the food and drink on offer.

Thanks for sharing the journey with us,

Ben and the team at Loving Nundah.

Our first issue - Dec 2013!

We love Nundah.

Thanks for reading!

Made with love in Nundah. NUNDAH 3


EXPERT ADVICE

DFK Hirn Newey

HEALTH

with Ciaran Caldwell from

The Joint Nundah

Are you aware of the ways

the government will help

you grow your super?

If you earn less than $37,000, there is a government payment to help you

save for retirement. This is known as the “low-income super tax offset”.

This can be up to $500 and is 15% of the concessional contributions

you or your employer made to your super fund for the year.

If you earn less than $53,564 and make a personal after-tax

contribution, the government will give you a maximum $500

as a co-contribution. This is an easy way to make up to a

50% return on your investment.

To be eligible for these concessions there are some additional criteria

you will need to take into consideration. We recommend you speak with

a professional adviser for advice specific to your situation.

If you would like to learn about these and other ways you can make

contributions to your super fund, then give us a call.

‘Tis the Season to be Jolly

Doing little to no exercise over the festive season is a common occurrence.

It’s a time of over-indulgence, socialising and enjoying your break. BUT when

the ‘silly season’ ends and January hits, we at The Joint notice a spike in

exercise-related injuries.

Some are attributed to beginning exercise as a New Year’s resolution.

However, even ‘seasoned’ exercisers experience niggles that come out of

nowhere and can take weeks or months to resolve. With some simple guidance

and planning, you can avoid the dreaded ‘Januaryitis’.

Tips when returning to training include:

• Reduce training load by ~25%;

• Consider intensity, frequency AND duration of sessions

when planning load management;

• Re-build training load by approximately 10% per week;

• Respect pain – an exercise causing more than 3-4/10 pain should be stopped

and modified to bring it back to an acceptable level.

Our physios at The Joint are the perfect people to guide you. Take advantage

of our special offer and receive a bonus 30 minute massage when booking an

initial physio session (new patient or new injury) until the 31 December.

Did you know that one in five children

has an undetected vision problem?

Good vision is important for a child’s educational, physical and social

development. Children learn more through their visual sense than all other

senses combined. With about one in five Australian children suffering from

an undetected vision problem, it’s important to be aware of the possible

signs of a vision problem to give every child the best chance of reaching

their full potential.

How can I tell if my child has good vision?

Children often assume that how they see is normal. When you visit Nicole,

who has over 30 years experience in testing children’s eyes, she will check

that their eyes are healthy and all visual skills are developing as expected.

At what age should children have their first eye examination?

We recommend that all children have a full eye examination with an optometrist

before starting prep and regularly (at least every two years) as they

progress through primary and secondary school.

The school holidays are a perfect time to have your child’s vision examined.

EXPERT ADVICE

Maintain Balance This Christmas

At Fitstop, we’re all about balance. This means we’re all for having fun,

without too many restrictions. Here are a few tips to remain active and

healthy while also enjoying this fun, scrumptious and rightly ‘silly’ season

to its fullest (hopefully reducing the need to make a resolution that

involves fat loss or detoxing!)

1

HEALTH AND FITNESS

with Davina (Psychologist) and Rob

(Head Trainer) from Fitstop Nundah

Keep active. If you’re at the beach, take a walk along the water.

If you’re lazing by the pool, go for a few laps. If you’re doing your

shopping, park at the end of the centre to get your steps up.

2 Plan your food as best you can. If you know you’re going to indulge

at dinner, keep breakfast and lunch light. If you’re aware that you’ll

be consuming alcohol, aim for light options such as low carb beer or

a white spirit with soda.

This Christmas to New Year Fitstop Nundah is free for

everyone. Download the Fitstop App from the App Store

Low Waste Christmas Tips

Christmas can be overwhelming, with more ‘stuff’ coming into the home

and budgets being stretched. There are plenty of ways to reduce waste at

Christmas and enjoy your time with friends and family.

• Consider giving experiences, your time/skills, donations or vouchers, not things.

• Give handmade (meals, soaps, biscuits, jams, bouquets, cuttings, crafts etc).

• Give eco-gifts (reusable cups, shampoo bar, beeswax wrap, produce bags etc).

• Shop second-hand, handmade, local, social, ethical.

• Wrap presents in fabric (op shop scarves, tea towels), kid’s drawings/paintings,

reusable gift bags, santa sacks.

• Consider Christmas tree alternatives

(potted/live, ladder/shelving, natives, felt or hire).

• Crackers/bon-bons – Make your own from toilet rolls, fill with unwrapped treats,

small crystals, nail clippers, scratchies etc.

• Advent calendars – buy/make reusable: cloth with pockets, wooden with drawers,

toilet roll tube creations – fill with ideas for fun activities!

• Decorate with fabric tablecloths, reusable bunting or wreaths.

Try setting a waste-free goal this Christmas and tell someone – it helps

increase your chance of success.

Nundah’s Hole-In-The-Wall Café

It might be Nundah’s smallest café, but Ant Espresso has made a big

splash in Nundah.

Located between MLC Advice Nundah and Toombul Shire Hall, Ant

Espresso serves specialty coffee by local roaster Wolff Coffee, skillfully

prepared by owner Anthony Gelina, who has over nine years’ experience

as a barista.

Anthony is a two-time BAC Barista Champion and prides himself on

keeping things simple and doing it well.

“We’ve been looking at this space for over a year and the pieces fell

into place nicely,” says Anthony.

“We couldn’t be happier with how well the small space has turned out.”

Already popular among Nundah workers, Anthony says that

those driving into the City have also sought out his coffee.

“With our location it’s perfect for people making their way into the city to

peel off Sandgate Rd, park directly out front, pick up their specialty coffee

and make their way back onto Sandgate Rd without adding too much time

to their trip,” says Anthony.

Ant Espresso is open Monday to Friday, 6am to 3pm.

Toombul has gone next

level with UPSTAIRS

UPSTAIRS is much more than your average food precinct - it’s a foodie playground!

Sit back and relax in colour-changing neon swings, sip on cocktails

under a brightly lit display of neon splendour, or wander through the cool industrial

indoor and outdoor spaces wrapped around a sparkling feature fountain.

Marvel at the many street-art murals and art installations created by local

and international artists, or let your inner child run wild in Archie Brothers

Cirque Electriq with virtual reality rides, bowling, dodgem cars, arcade

games, American diner-inspired food and tantalising cocktails.

If you want that epic Insta shot, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Pose on the

neon playground complete with swing-set, see-saw and slide, dive into a

popcorn ball pit, or order the most OTT cocktail from Archie Brothers - think

an Espresso Martini with a chocolate-rimmed glass topped with a mini magnum

or an alcoholic freak-shake with oodles of cream and a delectable Golden

Gaytime atop.

Whether it be a puppy brunch date, listening to an

undiscovered gem during a Sunday session with

your friends, a mid-week bite with the mums group,

rooftop yoga with your fur baby, or date night with bae,

UPSTAIRS will invite you back again and again with a

new experience on offer each time.

If it’s food you’re after, you won’t be disappointed. A mix of Brisbane’s

latest and greatest restaurants, cafes and bars are on offer with everything

from rainbow-coloured dumplings to the popular cheese-wheel pasta.

Nundah Now Celebrates

2019 Events!

Meet Rhi at

The Plant Lounge

With a range of lush plants and beautiful ceramics, you’ll feel at peace as

soon as you step in the door at The Plant Lounge.

Rhi, who took over The Plant Lounge earlier this year, is a passionate

green thumb with a knack for indoor plant styling. She also loves to meet

fellow plant enthusiasts – and those who are trying their best!

“We love to help our plant friends get the right plant – our

pricing is super competitive and we stock a range of plants

for every budget,” says Rhi.

“Indoor plants are only going to gain popularity in the coming years with

people wanting to connect more to nature, with less opportunity to do that in

their immediate environments.”

Rhi loves the village atmosphere that Nundah has, and loves chatting to

new clients (especially if they bring in their pet dogs!).

“We love the support from the local community. We have people go out

of their way to come and visit us, when they could go to a chain store. And

they do that because they care about local business.”

It’s been a big year for events in Nundah, with a range of local events organised

by volunteer group Nundah Now Inc.

In March, the sold-out Long Table Moonlight Dinner was held at Platform

14 at the Nundah Neighbourhood Centre. Due to wet weather the dinner

was held indoors, but it didn’t dampen the mood, with delicious food and

entertainment enjoyed by attendees.

In May, the Nundah Film Festival was held at BCC Cinemas Toombul.

Fifteen films were screened, supporting Australia’s emerging filmmakers.

Nundah’s biggest weekend of the year, including the Nundah Festival,

Nundah Art Show and Nundah Movie and Fireworks in the Park, was held

during the first weekend of September. The 19th annual Nundah Festival was

the biggest yet, with two stages, stalls, rides, food, drinks and entertainment.

Planning is already underway for the 20th Nundah Festival,

due to be held in September 2020.

The final event for 2019 will be Christmas in Nundah Village, held on Thursday,

5 December. At a new venue – Platform 14 at the Nundah Neighbourhood

Centre – attendees can enjoy Christmas carols from the Northgate

State School choir, a sausage sizzle and a visit from Santa, the Christmas

Fairy and Elf. The fun will start from 6pm – we can’t wait to see you there.

The volunteer team at Nundah Now Inc wishes everyone a Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year. If you’d like to be involved in any events for

2020 contact nundahnow@nundah.com for more information.

Here’s a blast from the past – locals Greg and Christine Stevens have

“My brother has muscular dystrophy so it’s a cause close to my heart.

Being a condition that is less common, I have a unique understanding of the

needs of people with MD and I know how imperative the services provided

by the team at MDQ are,” he said.

MDQ CEO, Helen Frayne, said the new car would allow the MDQ

team to travel to home visits and therapy sessions with clients.

“We did not want a restored truck as it had to be still dressed in its work

clothes,” says Christine.

“This truck was a great starting point, with some mechanical issues,

but a good base.”

“If locals would like it at their Nundah (or nearby) community events, we

welcome them to call Christine on 0419 789 151 to use the truck for free,”

says Greg.

Greg and Christine have a range of vintage vehicles, including a 1918

Model T Ford, a 1928 Indian Scout 101, a 1929 3-wheel Morgan, and a

1970 Morgan 4/4.

“This vehicle will make it much easier for our team to deliver services and

will also give us the chance to reach people living with muscular dystrophy

and similar muscle-wasting conditions throughout South East Queensland,”

says Helen.

“We’re so very grateful for the support.”

Waste Smart Summer

We’re creating a clean and green Brisbane for

you and your family to enjoy for years to come

through initiatives, resources and programs as

we tackle the war on waste as a community, and

do our part to reduce landfill waste.

Remember to download Brisbane City

Council's Brisbane Bin and Recycling

app to help you learn how to recycle

waste more effectively this summer.

Council developed the app to help make recycling

decisions quick and simple, it’s also a great

tool for bin collection days.

Brisbane's subtropical climate means our

food is easily spoiled by heat, humidity, sunlight

and pests. By throwing out less good food, you'll

save money and reduce waste to landfill. Make

your dollar and food go further this summer by

knowing how to correctly store food can keep

it fresher for longer and help you feel confident

about food safety.

Council's website has plenty of ideas to help

you love your leftovers, instead of putting them

in the bin. My household recycling guide fridge

magnet continues to be very popular. Contact the

Northgate Ward office to order yours.

Merry Christmas

& Happy New Year

As we find ourselves coming to the close of

another year, I would like to take the opportunity

to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year.

Looking back on 2019, much has been

achieved in Nundah and surrounding areas. As

part of our plan to get you home quicker and safer,

important road infrastructure initiatives have

been undertaken locally, including the upgrade to

the Widdop Street and Toombul intersection with

traffic lights.

This year as a city we also introduced

free off-peak travel for seniors, 50

percent off rates for the first 12 months

for first homeowners, and new business

initiatives.

We are working with you to make the Brisbane

of tomorrow better than the Brisbane of today.

THE F.A.R.T. FILES

BOOK 1

Dr Rob Bell

A terrible crime has been committed a the Brownleigh Football

Club. Someone has ruined the footy field with deep tyre tracks.

And there’s grafitti a l over the clubhouse wa ls. The damage is

diabolical! Who is responsible and why would anyone targe the

greatest footy club in the world?

The police aren’ that interested in investigating – they’ve got

bigger fish to fry – so it’s up to a bunch of amateur detectives

from Sommerton High to find the culprits and bring them to

justice.

Mee the Forensic Amateur Research Team – or F.A.R.T. for

short. This crack squad is made up of Sam Trang: unofficial

team leader, Madison ‘Maddie’ Litchfield: tech whiz, Arlia

Humphreys: new kid at school (possibly a spy), and Declan

Peterson: science guru (prone to accidents). Oh, and Dan Trang,

Sam’s little brother, who regularly brings everyone lunch.

Using their intuition, wits and some slightly i legal hacking

skills, this unlikely mob of misfits sets about cracking a great

sporting club vandalism mystery!

Key Se ling Points

• Brand new series for 8–12 year olds

• We l connected and highly promotable author

• Appearances at Science Week and other tech events tbc

• Combines a fu l serve of mystery with a side dish of STEM!

Nundah Family Drug Support

Family Drug Support is a caring, non-religious organisation that provides

non-judgemental support and education to families and friends of people that

have an alcohol and/or drug dependence. Supporting families across Australia

for well over twenty years, the not-for-profit, non-government service

now has a Queensland base in Nundah.

At their newly opened Nundah office, Chrissie Kelly, Qld State Manager,

and the team provide support and information to families who are struggling

to cope when someone in their family is using.

“It is a difficult journey for family members. They often feel judged and

shamed when someone in the family has alcohol and/or drug use concerns,

and they face enormous challenges without support,” says Chrissie.

Family Drug Support offers a range of support services to assist

family members, including a national 24/7 telephone support line

(1300 368 186), support group meetings, information sessions

and courses.

The local Nundah support group offers a non-religious, open meeting for family

members affected by someone’s drugs and alcohol use. They are open to

anyone and provide opportunities to talk and listen to others in a non-judgemental,

safe environment. The group runs the first and third Tuesday of each

month, 7pm – 9pm at the Nundah Family Drug Support office.

For more information about upcoming information sessions and programs,

contact Chrissie and the team at the Nundah office.

Orange the World

November 25 has been observed as a day against gender-based violence

since 1981. This date was selected to honour the Mirabal sisters, three

political activists from the Dominican Republic who were brutally murdered

in 1960 by order of the country’s ruler, Rafael Trujillo (1930-1961).

On 20 December 1993, the General Assembly of the UN adopted

the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women through

resolution 48/104, paving the path towards eradicating violence against

women and girls worldwide.

Finally, on 7 February 2000, the General Assembly adopted resolution

54/134, officially designating 25 November as the International Day

for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and in doing so, inviting

governments, international organisations as well as NGOs to join together

and organise activities designed to raise public awareness of the issue

every year on that date.

The 2019 theme for the International Day for the Elimination

of Violence Against Women is ‘Orange the World: Generation

Equality Stands Against Rape’.

Like in previous years, this year's International Day on 25 November will

mark the launch of 16 days of activism that will conclude on 10 December,

which is International Human Rights Day.

As a centre with a strong focus on the prevention of violence against

women, the Nundah Neighbourhood Centre held a stall at Chermside

Shopping Centre to mark the day. The stall, which was an initiative of the

Northside Alliance Against Domestic Violence (NAADV) aimed to engage

with people at the shopping centre about the issue of violence against

women and give people an opportunity to talk to workers about issues

such as domestic and family violence.

Thank-You

As we come to the end of another very busy

year at the Nundah Neighbourhood Centre and

Brisbane North Community Legal Service, the staff

and committee would like to say a big thank you

to those individuals and businesses that supported

the Centre in making a difference over the last 12

months.

We would like to give special thanks to the

Nundah and surrounding community which

provides so much ongoing support to the

Neighbourhood Centre.

Over the year we have had businesses, community

leaders and individuals provide support and

assistance with many of our activities and events

including the Nundah Festival, Domestic and

Family Violence Prevention Month, Community

Christmas Party, Culture in the Kitchen, food relief

and emergency assistance program and the Family

Support Programs.

Local businesses have also played a significant

role in supporting the Centre and I would like to

particularly acknowledge the Norris Motor Group

Inc who have supported our food relief program

throughout the year and Nundah Now Inc who

continued their strong commitment to supporting

local community services, with the Long Table

Dinner at Platform 14 raising much needed funds

for our Domestic Violence and Family Law Legal

Clinic. Also thank you to JJ Richards, The Majestic

Church, The Commonwealth Bank Toombul

Branch, Officeworks Virginia, The Brisbane Airport

Corporation, Bunnings, Synergy, Woolworths,

Toombul Bowls Club, and All Inn Brewing all of

which are just a few of the local businesses who

supported the Centre over the year.

Thank you to our local representatives, Adam

Allan; Councillor for Northgate Ward, Leanne Linard;

Member for Nudgee, Tim Nicholls; Member for

Clayfield, and Wayne Swan and Anika Wells; Federal

Members for Lilley. All of our local representatives

have been great champions of the Centre

and we greatly appreciate their recognition of the

valued role we play in our local community.

We would also like to thank all of the volunteers

at the Nundah Neighbourhood Centre and Brisbane

North Community Legal Service. Volunteers

continue to play a very significant role at the Centre

and without the commitment of their time, skills

and creativity, the many programs offered would

not be available.

Finally, thank you to Ben Tibben and the team

at Loving Nundah who very generously donate two

professionally edited pages of the Loving Nundah

Magazine to the organisation in each issue.

We Care Week
