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 back page. Congrats April Winners! $75 GIFT CARD SUDOKU 205: A.

4 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.

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.

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.

9 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. Hilton Hartley Lawyers - PH 56 10 80 60 See advert front cover - Hilton Hartley Lawyers - Domestic Violence This June, the annual The Doyles Art Award returns to Mudgeeraba, bringing with it an extraordinary level of national interest. Organisers have revealed that nearly 1,000 entries were received for the 2026 award — a remarkable figure that highlights both the prestige of the competition and the enduring appetite for traditional fine art in Australia. Held from 19–28 June, the finalist exhibition has become one of Queensland’s most anticipated cultural events, drawing artists, collectors and visitors from across the country. Best of all, entry to the exhibition is completely free, offering the public rare access to a significant national art prize without the barriers often associated with major gallery events. What makes The Doyles particularly unique is its grassroots foundation. The award is run by a dedicated team of volunteers and operates as a not-for-profit organisation, with a strong focus on supporting Australian artists and fostering community engagement through the arts. In an era where many cultural events struggle for funding and continuity, The Doyles continues to thrive through local support, sponsorship and sheer determination. The award’s major acquisitive prize of $20,000 ensures the winning artwork becomes part of the event’s legacy, while the total prize pool of $33,000 positions the exhibition among the country’s more substantial representational art prizes. Categories span landscape, figurative, still life, junior and all-ability sections, reflecting the inclusive ethos the event has become known for. Importantly, the exhibition is not simply about competition. The Doyles Art Award Hundreds of artworks will be available for purchase throughout the event, giving visitors the opportunity to support working Australian artists directly and perhaps discover the next major name in contemporary representational art. This year’s judging panel is expected to once again bring together respected voices from the Australian arts sector, continuing the award’s reputation for credibility and artistic integrity. For many visitors, however, the real appeal lies beyond the prizes. The exhibition has become a celebration of artistic craftsmanship, storytelling and community spirit — all set against the backdrop of the historic Gold Coast hinterland village of Mudgeeraba. At a time when regional arts events are increasingly important to Australia’s cultural identity, The Doyles stands as a reminder that world-class artistic experiences do not belong solely to capital cities. Sometimes, they happen in small villages powered by volunteers, passion and a deep belief in the value of art.
