2 Antique Buyers in the Area In most Australian homes, there's a drawer. You know the one. It holds the tangle of old jewellery nobody wears anymore — the broken chain from an aunt's estate, the ring that no longer fits, the earring whose partner disappeared a decade ago. It holds the coins collected on overseas trips, the broken old watch, the bracelet bought in a different chapter of life. Most of us assume these things have sentimental value, or no value at all. What we rarely consider is that they might have real, financial value — sitting quietly while the gold price holds near historic highs. That's where father-son buying duo Mike and Nate come in. Mike and Nate are enthusiastic antique buyers with a particular eye for gold jewellery — broken or intact — gold and silver coins, mechanical watches, military medals, banknotes, and all other kinds of coins. "Everyone has something we want to buy," says Mike, "and nothing is too small for our consideration. We are just as happy to buy one item as we are buying ten thousand." With gold still trading well above traditional levels, now is an opportune time to dig out those old chains, rings, and brooches and find out what they're actually worth. "This is an ideal time to sell," Mike emphasises. "We will buy anything made of gold — old jewellery, coins, virtually anything, even gold teeth. We also need silver in any form, including coins and bars of any size." Don't overlook the coins. That old tin of foreign currency at the back of the cupboard could contain a rarity worth far more than face value. "We want to see any old foreign coin accumulations — bags, tins, folders, however they come," says Mike. "We'll go through them on the spot and give you a fair idea of what we can pay. You just never know what can turn up." Mechanical watches are also in urgent demand. Brands such as Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Longines, and even some Gents Seiko’s can command strong prices depending on model and condition — and many people have no idea what a vintage watch sitting in a drawer is currently worth to a serious collector. In today's era of downsizing and decluttering, there has rarely been a better moment to open those drawers, go through those cupboards, and turn forgotten items into real money. Mike and Nate will be in the Gold Coast area this coming month, doing home visits. Call today to book yours. For more details see page 3. Congrats April Winners! $75 GIFT CARD SUDOKU 205: A.

4 Mudgeeraba Show Time One of the Gold Coast’s Favourite Weekends is Back There’s something about the Mudgeeraba Agricultural Show that just feels like home. Maybe it’s the smell of hot chips and fairy floss in the air, the sound of kids laughing on the rides, or seeing the showgrounds come alive with colour and excitement. Whatever it is, the much-loved show returns on 27–28 June 2026, and for plenty of Gold Coast locals it’s one of those weekends that’s marked on the calendar every year. When people think of the Gold Coast, they usually picture beaches, surf and skyscrapers. But our region has always had another side too – a country side. Before all the growth and development, places like Mudgeeraba were at the heart of the area, and the annual show is still a great reminder of those local roots and traditions. And if you haven’t been for a while, there is a lot more happening than many people realise. The showgrounds will be packed with favourites including horse events, livestock judging, woodchopping, working dog demonstrations, arts and crafts displays, showbags, rides and plenty of food stalls. The pavilion is always worth a wander too, with local baking, photography, produce and handmade creations on display. Kids will love getting close to the animals, while the Norco Milking Station gives everyone a chance to try their hand at milking a cow and learn a little more about life on the land. There’s also live music, heritage displays and a few crowd favourites that have become part of the tradition over the years. As the sun goes down, the atmosphere steps up another level. The always-popular Horse vs Bike race and the Young Farmers Challenge bring plenty of laughs, before the night wraps up with fireworks lighting up the winter sky. Whether you go for the rides, the animals, the food or simply for a fun day outdoors, the Mudgeeraba Show still delivers that classic country-show feeling right here in our own backyard. Learning to drive a manual isn’t just about changing gears — ... it’s about building real control, confidence, and calm behind the wheel. At Spotto Driving School, our manual driving lessons are designed to meet you where you’re at, whether you’re starting from scratch, switching from auto, or coming back after a break.

Cold air and indoor heating can strip moisture from the environment, leaving eyes feeling dry, irritated, or gritty. Fortunately, there are simple ways to help keep your eyes comfortable and healthy throughout the chilly season. Here are some effective tips to help manage dry eyes this winter. Keep Hydrated - It’s easy to forget to drink water during the colder months, but staying hydrated is key to maintaining moisture in your eyes. Aim to drink water regularly Combatting Dry Eyes in Winter so you don’t have to be without your own frames for weeks if we are using your own frame for new lenses; repairs can be done onsite and same day service is available on in store stock lenses.

Bulk billed eye testing is available and health fund claiming for most funds can be done on the spot. throughout the day to support natural tear production. Warm herbal teas or hot water with lemon are great alternatives if plain water doesn’t appeal in the cold. Add Moisture to the Air - Heating systems in homes and offices can create dry indoor air, making dry eye symptoms worse. Using a humidifier helps restore moisture to the air, which can benefit not just your eyes, but your skin and sinuses too. Remember to Blink - We often blink less in cold or windy weather, especially when spending time outside. Regular blinking helps spread tears evenly across the eyes, reducing dryness and irritation. Be mindful of blinking, particularly if you’re staring at screens. Shield Your Eyes Outdoors - Wind and cold air can quickly evaporate moisture from your eyes. Wearing wraparound sunglasses or protective eyewear when outdoors can shield your eyes from the elements and help retain natural lubrication. They also offer protection from dust, pollen, and wind-borne irritants. Use Lubricating Eye Drops - If your eyes still feel dry despite your best efforts, over-the-counter lubricating drops can provide fast relief. Opt for preservativefree options if you use them frequently, as they’re gentler on the eyes. Dry eyes are a common issue during our cooler months, but with a few simple lifestyle adjustments, you can minimise discomfort and keep your eyes feeling their best. If you’re experiencing persistent symptoms, we’d be happy to help with a comprehensive dry eye assessment. Get in touch—we’d love to see you!

6 Have you done your free bowel test? Australian residents aged between 45-74 are invited to screen for bowel cancer through the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program. The bowel screening tests are completed at home in private and returned in the mail. Why is it important to do the test? Bowel Cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia, and the second highest cause of cancer death. Around 400 Gold Coast residents are diagnosed each year. Most bowel cancers develop without symptoms in the early stages. Bowel cancers found through routine screening are usually less advanced than those diagnosed at a later stage, often after symptoms appear. When detected early almost all bowel cancers are treatable. How does the test work? The bowel screening test looks for tiny amounts of blood in poo, which may be a sign of changes in the bowel. If blood is found in either of the two test samples, the next step is usually a diagnostic test, such as a colonoscopy, to check the bowel for any abnormalities. Most people who have blood detected in their samples will not have bowel cancer, but many will have small growths in their bowel called polyps. If polyps are found during a colonoscopy they are usually removed, which stops them from potentially turning into a cancer at a later stage. Are the tests suitable for everyone? Bowel screening tests are intended for healthy people who have no obvious bowel symptoms (such as blood in your poo, persistent changes in bowel habits, weight loss you can’t explain, extreme tiredness for no reason, or abdominal pain or lumps). Anyone with bowel symptoms should discuss them with their doctor as soon as possible and not wait for a screening test. How do I get a bowel screening test? The free test kits are automatically sent in the mail to eligible people aged 50-74, and people aged 45-49 can join the program by requesting their first test kit. Kits will be mailed to the address registered with Medicare or DVA, so it’s important to keep this up to date. If your test kit has expired, was thrown away or never arrived, a free replacement test can be requested online at ncsr.gov.au/boweltest or by phoning 1800 627 701.

9 A state-of-the-art, marine rescue training facility has officially opened near Jacobs Well. The new facility will prepare volunteers to take on the unique challenges of marine rescue operations, serving as a central hub for delivering consistent, high-quality training programs as part of the MRQ Training Academy. MRQ Chief Officer Tony Wulff said, “This facility will help us deliver consistent and high-quality training as we move into this new stage of transition for the organisation. “Our volunteer members are our greatest asset, and we are committed to ensuring they have the skills to keep Queenslanders safe on the water.” MRQ established its own Registered Training Organisation in 2025, to offer volunteer members nationally recognised, commercially qualified training accreditation. The launch of the MRQ Training Academy marks the next chapter in Marine Rescue Queensland launches Training Academy supporting a highly regarded team of ‘volunteer professionals’ who are dedicated to saving lives at sea. The location of the MRQ Academy is strategically important. It is in a diverse navigational area that can showcase almost all elements of the International Association of Lighthouse Authority buoyage system, including easy access to smooth, partially smooth and open waters along with three very different bar crossings. MRQ was established on 3 June 2024 to deliver Queensland’s first single, integrated, and state-funded volunteer marine rescue service. It will bring together the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Association (AVCGA) and Volunteer Marine Rescue Association Queensland (VMRAQ) to improve safety for Queenslanders on the water and enhance emergency response capabilities under the QPS. The facility features training rooms, shared office spaces, a secure, dedicated hardstand area for vessel maintenance and training activities, as well as three dedicated marina berths for 8,10 and 14 metre vessels. MRQ volunteers are the lifeblood of the organisation, carrying on a proud tradition of more than 50 years of service to their community through their legacy organisations, keeping people safe on Queensland oceans and waterways. Domestic violence is one of the most serious social issues affecting families and communities across Queensland. Public discussion, government campaigns, and media reporting have traditionally focused on violence committed by men against women. While violence against women remains a major and very real problem, there is another side of domestic violence that often receives far less attention — the growing number of male victims who suffer abuse in silence. Domestic violence is not defined by gender. It is defined by behaviour — behaviour that is controlling, threatening, manipulative, emotionally damaging, financially abusive, or physically violent. Abuse can occur in any relationship regardless of gender, age, sexuality, or cultural background. In Queensland, domestic and family violence laws recognise that anyone can be a victim. Men, women, children, same-sex partners, elderly parents, and other family members can all experience abuse within the home. Yet despite this recognition in law, social attitudes often make it difficult for male victims to come forward. Many men who experience domestic violence remain silent because they fear embarrassment, ridicule, or disbelief. Society has long expected men to appear strong, emotionally resilient, and physically capable of defending themselves. Because of these expectations, some people struggle to believe that a man could be intimidated, controlled, or assaulted by a partner. As a result, male victims may feel ashamed to seek help or report abuse to police and support services. While Queensland has made progress in expanding domestic violence awareness and services, many support systems have historically been designed primarily for female victims. This can leave men uncertain about where to seek help or whether services will take their experiences seriously. Some male victims report feeling isolated because there are fewer shelters, support groups, and public campaigns directed toward them. Acknowledging male victims does not reduce the seriousness of violence against women. Domestic violence is not a competition between genders, nor should support for one group come at the expense of another. Every victim deserves protection, compassion, and access to support services. Recognising male victims simply means recognising the reality that abuse can affect anyone. Breaking the silence surrounding male victims is an important step toward creating safer communities. Domestic violence should never be dismissed because of a person’s gender. Whether the victim is a woman or a man, abuse leaves lasting emotional, psychological, and physical scars. If you are experiencing domestic violence please feel free to reach out to us so that we can assist you. Ormeau Legal - 5540 7198 - See advert P. 8 - Ormeau Legal - Domestic Violence
