2 Gullivers celebrates 50 years When Terry Gulliver started teaching the Gold Coast to swim in 1975, the Pacific Fair shopping centre was still a swamp, the Crown Casino a caravan park and the Coast had just one shopping centre. How things have changed in those 50 years. One thing has not changed however and that is the reputation and recognition Gullivers has earned as the Nation leader in teaching little people to swim. Terry Gulliver pioneered the modern-day baby teaching methods that over time have been refined and developed to ensure that little people who come to Gullivers really learn to swim and swim better than anyone else. No wonder “the lessons are so much better at Gullivers”. Numerous TV segments, newspaper and magazine articles attest to this fact. People were amazed by a one-year-old swimming 100 metres, a two-year-old swimming 600 metres and three-year-olds swimming 1500 metres. What makes Gullivers lessons and results so special? Gullivers own unique methods backed up by 50 years experience, and a team of passionate, committed and enthusiastic teachers who have been with Gullivers, some as long as 20 years. Another reason for Gullivers success is that they just have one centre and can focus fully on maintaining the standard they have built their reputation on. Some people mistakenly think all swim schools are the same, that is until they come to Gullivers and experience the difference. At Gullivers we can guarantee your kids will learn to swim faster and better than anywhere else. We are just a short drive from anywhere on the northern Gold Coast. You will find its worth the effort. 4,000 FREE SWIM LESSONS FOR GULLIVERS AFTER SCHOOL CARE PUPILS In 2003 Gullivers opened their own unique After School Care programme featuring free swim lessons, free gymnastics and free cooking classes as well as a host of physical activities so popular with the kids. As part of the programme over 4,000 free swimming lessons are provided annually. The programme has grown to the stage we now need a fleet of twelve buses to collect the children from a host of northern Gold Coast schools. In 2005 the success and quality of the programme was recognised by the Federal and State Governments who chose Gullivers as the pilot programme to launch the now Australia wide Active After School Care programme. Wait there’s more. Gullivers also provides Before School and very popular and innovative Vacation Care programmes.

Glasses are like an extension of our body, and a perfect fit can make a world of difference. Here’s a guide to help you choose the most comfortable eyeglasses. Determine the Type of Eyeglasses You Need The first step is ensuring your eyeglasses improve your vision. Start with an accurate, up-to-date prescription. Then, think about the type of lenses that suit your lifestyle and visual needs. Some options include: • Single-vision lenses: For nearsightedness or farsightedness. • Multifocals: For those who need multiple focal points. • Reading glasses: For presbyopia. • Prism lenses: To correct disorders like double vision. • Plano lenses: For changing your look without prescription correction. • Prescription sunglasses: Offering both UV protection and vision correction. Consider lens coatings and add-ons like anti-glare or blue light filters, especially if you spend time in front of digital screens. These can enhance comfort and protect your eyes. Match Your Eyeglasses to Your Face Shape Next, consider your face shape. Selecting frames that suit your face helps distribute the weight evenly, avoiding pressure points on your nose, temples, or cheekbones. The goal is to find glasses that feel like a natural part of your face—lightweight and barely noticeable. Know Your Measurements Accurate measurements are key to a comfortable fit. Important dimensions include frame width, lens width, temple length, and bridge width. The bridge, the horizontal distance between the lenses, plays a significant role in weight distribution on your nose. Here are a few tips: • The bridge should not feel tight on your nose. • A slight gap between the glasses and your nose is acceptable. • If the bridge is too wide, your glasses will slide down. • If too narrow, they will create pressure on your sinuses. Consider Your Lifestyle and Personality Your lifestyle also influences the comfort of your eyeglasses. If you have an active lifestyle—whether in sports or outdoor activities—look for durable, flexible materials like polycarbonate. These are impact-resistant and lighter than traditional plastics, reducing strain on your nose and ears. For those who spend hours in front of screens, lenses with blue light filters can reduce eye strain. On the other hand, if style is your priority, lightweight materials such as acetate can offer both fashion and comfort. Choosing comfortable eyeglasses requires careful consideration of your vision needs, face shape, measurements, and lifestyle. Paris Miki Optical’s Store Manager Michael has over 32 year’s experience as a qualified Optical technician and has been working in the area for over 24 years. There is an onsite workshop for quicker spectacle making, so you don’t have to be without your own frames for weeks if using your own frame for new lenses; repairs can be done onsite and same day service is available on in store stock lenses. To make an appointment call 5580 5010.

Please include your name, address and phone number in the email • Entries close 10.11.2025 The Last Love Song is a compelling story of love and devastating loss set on the rural west coast of Ireland and in glamourous 1960s London, from the internationally bestselling author of The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley. Sorcha O’Donovan dreams of an exciting life beyond the West Cork coastline where she has grown up. When she encounters the town’s strikingly handsome outcast, struggling musician Con Daly, her days will never be the same. When Con strikes gold with rock band The Fishermen in London, he and Sorcha look set for a rosy future. But their lives change beyond recognition as the dark side of fame rears its head. Death threats follow Con around, and devastating secrets from the past threaten to destroy everything he has worked for. Twenty years later, The Fishermen agree to re-form for the massive Music for Life charity concert at Wembley Stadium. But Con Daly, heartthrob and spokesman for a generation, has been missing for over a decade. There’s only one person who can find out what happened, who has access to the lives, loves and careers of all concerned as The Fishermen rose to worldwide fame. Only one person who knows how vital it is to uncover the truth, because should Con Daly reappear before the facts emerge, then history could repeat itself with even more tragic consequences. Lucinda Riley wrote The Last Love Song as Lucinda Edmonds, now reworked and revived by Harry Whittaker, Lucinda’s son and co-author of Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt.

Whale Answers to Quiz ARIES - Early in November, that Full Moon in Taurus awakens a yearning for stability in nurturing relationships. Mid-month energy shifts push you toward adventure—by the New Moon in Sagittarius you feel ready to risk, explore and shake up your routines. TAURUS - The Full Moon early November lights up your sign, helping you see your value in relationships and work more clearly. Soon after, as the New Moon approaches, you’re drawn to expand your horizons—learning, travel or bold ideas enrich your path. GEMINI - You may feel tension between comfort and growth in early November when grounding Full Moon in Taurus asks you to face what holds you back. By the New Moon, ideas and connections born now could reshape your emotional and social landscape in exciting ways. CANCER - The Full Moon brings emotional clarity—long-ignored desires or connections want your attention. As Sagittarius New Moon nears, you feel more hopeful, ready to break free from what’s been keeping you in place and lean into relationships or work that inspire. LEO - Full Moon in early November showers you in attention— your creativity, voice, presence shine, but beware spreading yourself too thin. By the New Moon, you sense a fresh chapter—new dreams, learning or adventures that align with your deeper purpose begin to stir. VIRGO - Full Moon energy brings focus on values and security— steadying, but maybe also confronting what needs letting go. As the New Moon arrives, you’re ripe for reinventing your goals, embracing something that stretches you beyond daily habits into something more expansive. LIBRA - Early November’s Full Moon in Taurus asks you to ground your connections, perhaps make peace with past relationship patterns. When the New Moon in Sagittarius blooms, opportunities for adventure, growth, maybe new romance emerge—align with what feels fun and real. SCORPIO - Full Moon triggers emotional deep work—tearing down walls, seeing truth in power, control, or vulnerability. As the month moves toward the New Moon, you’re ready to open up, explore, or heal through growth, finding fresh perspectives in your passions. SAGITTARIUS - The early Taurus Full Moon soothes you but also highlights what you value in stability and comfort. Come the New Moon in your own sign, you’re entering a rebirth—new directions, confidence, self-expression. Let adventures align with your heart. CAPRICORN - In November’s beginning, the Full Moon invites you to address where you’ve sacrificed too much, especially around relationships or your personal sense of worth. By the New Moon, you have energy to shift—plan, dream, reach toward something more fulfilling. AQUARIUS - Full Moon in Taurus asks you to settle into your tribe, home, and what feels safe; it may expose where balance is lacking. By the New Moon, new networks, ideas, or perhaps travel energise you—connection outside your usual circles brings inspiration. PISCES - Early November shines light on values, self-worth, and the foundations of love under the Taurus Full Moon. When the Sagittarius New Moon appears, you feel called toward creative renewal, spiritual expansion, or finding joy in learning—big dreams begin stirring.
