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.

Christmas is a good time for reflection...
and in real estate, that means looking at the data
Nundah’s population and confidence
keeps growing. The local economy is
spurred on by attractive rental returns
and its relative affordability. This is
coupled with jobs growth through
infrastructure projects like TradeCoast,
the airport runway, and Toombul’s new

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
and create an account under Nundah to book in for FREE.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Honda gets the MDQ
team on the move
Thanks to The Honda Foundation and Northside Honda, the team from Muscular

them to visit more clients with muscular dystrophy.
Rob Brown, Principal Dealer at Northside Honda was only too happy to
support MDQ’s application, particularly given his personal connection with
the condition.
“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.

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.
