Welcome to our very first issue of <strong>Coolalinga</strong> <strong>Central</strong> magazine!<br />
Our new free quarterly publication aimed to keep you up to date with<br />
fashion trends, sales, promotions and events happening in and around<br />
our Centre. Since the successful grand opening of the new <strong>Coolalinga</strong><br />
<strong>Central</strong> on Saturday 13th May 2017, the response from local residents<br />
has been overwhelming and we thank you all for your support and hope<br />
this magazine benefits your shopping experience in our centre.<br />
We are amidst the Dry Season, where there is always something<br />
happening around Darwin. From the Race Season to the Darwin Festival,<br />
and Father’s Day fast approaching, there is so much to do! Our first<br />
edition focuses on providing you with ideas for fashion, food, services &<br />
products to see you through this fun season.<br />
But it’s not all about the shopping! In this feature, we let you know a<br />
bit about the different elements that make <strong>Coolalinga</strong> <strong>Central</strong> & how<br />
<strong>Coolalinga</strong> got its name. We also caught up with Shannon Rusca, our<br />
very own Southern District AFL Coach and a clever business man, to talk<br />
about his life wearing different hats every day. A down to earth young<br />
gentleman who owns a classic race car, Shannon, we are impressed!<br />

photos. Not to forget the incredible crew behind the scene. Robert<br />

Worx. Abbey Reedy, our professional Passarella model. Teri Roussos, our<br />

GIRLY TIPS<br />
HOW TO KEEP<br />
NAIL POLISH LAST<br />
LONGER<br />
1. Avoid getting any polish<br />
on your cuticles, which<br />
lifts the paint from the nail<br />
and leads to chipping.<br />
2. Don’t cut your cuticles,<br />
but you can push them<br />
back using cuticle oil<br />
and an orange stick or<br />
a pusher tool to prevent<br />
paint from getting on<br />
them.<br />
WHEN IT COMES TO NAIL<br />
ART, WE DON’T MESS<br />
AROUND. WHETHER YOU<br />
LIKE SUBTLE NAIL ART OR THE<br />

HAS SOMETHING FOR<br />
EVERYONE. GET THE LATEST<br />

3. Use a sticky basecoat<br />
to make the polish last<br />
longer.<br />

Fejioas - Feijoa, also known as pineapple guava, is a<br />
delicious fruit of South-American origin. Feijoa fruit is an<br />
excellent source of antioxidant vitamin-C. 100 g fresh<br />
fruit provides 32.9 mg of this vitamin, about 55% of DRI<br />
(daily recommended intake).<br />
Dragon Fruit - Dragon fruits have a surprising number<br />
of phytonutrients. Rich in antioxidants, they contain<br />
vitamin C (equivalent to 10 percent of the daily value),<br />
polyunsaturated (good) fatty acids, and several B<br />
vitamins for carbohydrate metabolism, as well as<br />
carotene and protein.<br />
Custard Apple - The bark of custard apple contains<br />
astringent properties and tannins, which is utilized<br />
for making herbal supplements. The fruit contains<br />
compounds like acetogenin and alkaloids that reduce<br />
the risk of cancer and renal failure.<br />

BILTONG is a much loved<br />
South African dried meat<br />
snack. Spend any time in<br />
South Africa and chances<br />
are you will stumble upon<br />
someone selling Biltong.<br />
Its history can be traced<br />
back over 400 years. It<br />
began (similar to jerky) to<br />
preserve meat for future<br />
consumption. Biltong is<br />
very high in protein, low<br />
fat, low carbohydrates<br />
and often low in sugar.<br />
Biltong has great<br />
sustenance due to its high<br />
protein level.<br />

- INTERVIEW -<br />
15MINS WITH<br />
SHANNON RUSCA<br />
SOUTHERN DISTRICT AFL COACH<br />
Q: What did you want to be when you grow up?<br />
A: I wanted to be just like Dad and be a heavy plant<br />
operator. I also loved sport and was very much into my<br />
athletics as I enjoyed watching the Olympics. My idol was<br />
Carl Lewis. As a family we would also watch the local NTFL<br />
as my older brother was playing for Southern Districts FC.<br />
I saw good fun, good friendship and the opportunity to<br />
make new friends from other schools playing the great<br />
Australian game. AFL took over my passion and became<br />
my dream, I told myself I wanted to play AFL.<br />
Q: What were you like in high school?<br />
A: I was very quiet in class as I was too scared to do<br />
anything naughty. I was only active during the recess and<br />
lunch break. There was a game we use to play and it was<br />
crossed between Basketball/rugby and keepy off (killerball).<br />
The idea was to still score at your end of the court but the<br />
rules of engagement was there were no rules, just score in<br />
your basket! The game was eventually banned from school<br />
after a few injuries and other outcomes from a physical<br />
game.<br />

“Encouragement<br />
and fun is my motto<br />
to my kids”<br />
In celebration of our debut issue of<br />
<strong>Coolalinga</strong> <strong>Central</strong> magazine, made<br />
for local by local, we would like to<br />
feature some of our local talents. One of<br />
the talents on our list is Shannon Rusca<br />
(37), a former professional AFL player<br />
who now leads our very own Southern<br />
District Team, a father of five and an<br />
adventurous business man. We got<br />
Shannon to talk about his career and<br />
what is it like being a proud father.<br />
Q: Tell us about being a coach instead of a player?<br />
A: Coaching is great, it’s about giving back to the sport<br />
which has given me so many opportunities in life. We can’t<br />
learn all this knowledge about our game and not to pass it<br />
down to the up and coming young stars. It is very rewarding<br />
watching others learn new skills and putting them into<br />
practice.<br />
It was quite difficult transitioning from player to coach.<br />
I went straight into coaching the Premier league team<br />
whom I had been playing with the season prior, so giving<br />
instruction to young men the same age took some getting<br />
used to. I also found getting 40-60 different players with<br />
different skills and playing ability understanding one game<br />
plan/style a good challenge. I had to learn very quickly<br />
how to mould players around certain game plans whilst<br />
getting them all playing as one unit instead of individuals.<br />
As a player I didn’t have to worry as much, just play for<br />
laughs. Look ...I have lost all my hair from coaching…With a<br />
grin.<br />

- INTERVIEW -<br />
As a coach you are not only their coach, you become<br />
much more than that. This is the greatest part of<br />
coaching for me.<br />
Q: What’s the weirdest thing a fan has ever done for you?<br />
A: I have not encountered any weird thing done by a<br />
fan. One of the most memorable thing is an older lady<br />
would cook us nice warm scones with jam and cream<br />
every Friday after training. We always looked forward to<br />
Fridays on those cold windy wet nights.<br />
Q: What is your biggest accomplishment in your sports<br />
career?<br />
A: Making into AFL is a dream come true. My number<br />
one’s are winning both the southern districts senior grand<br />
finals. I can’t separate them.<br />
Q: What one or two things do you currently do in your<br />
training that are keys to your success?<br />
A: Skill work, pressure work and good clear instruction.<br />
Communication is key. I am big on skill work, keep it<br />
simple method, and don’t try over complicate it. The<br />
game has certain skills so let’s be the best at them.<br />
The game has changed a lot over the years but it still<br />
evolves around 3 phase, when we have the ball, when<br />
the opposition have the ball and when the ball is in<br />
dispute. So we work hard on the fundamentals of the<br />
game, we have to be great at kicking, handballing,<br />
marking and decision making. I am very determined to<br />
see people reach their full potential, being on field or off<br />
field.<br />
“Nothing comes easy, nothing<br />
is handed to you, you want<br />
something, work hard to make<br />
it happen.”<br />
Q: Any advice to all the young players?<br />
A: Always listen to your coach no matter what level.<br />
Follow your dreams, never give up and there’s no such<br />
thing that you can’t<br />
Q: Now, tell us a little bit about your family?<br />
A: My family has been the biggest influence and support<br />
in my life’s journey. Mum, Dad, brothers and sisters have<br />
been great pillars for me. Leaving home at a young age,<br />
while having the continuous support from them allowed<br />
me to pursue my dream. It also made the transition from<br />
leaving my friends and family behind in Darwin that much<br />
easier, it was simply amazing.<br />
Q: What is the biggest satisfaction of being a father?<br />
A: Coming home from work seeing them smile changes<br />
your whole day in a single moment.<br />
Q: Kids say the darndest thing, what was the funniest<br />
question ever asked by your children? And what were your<br />
answers?<br />
A: Why do you have big belly and why don’t you have lots<br />
of hair on your head like us…bald (according to them), I<br />
smiled, I was stuck for words<br />
Q: Is your father an inspiration to you? What is the best<br />
advice he has given to you that you live by.<br />
A: Definitely! In all parts of my life. I look up to him, listening<br />
to all the inspiring stories he has to tell. He is a very hard but<br />
fair person, he had to be hard to get through the struggles<br />
that confronted him as he is from the stolen generation. He<br />
is a successful person from hard work and desire. He is a<br />
very honest person, calls a spade a spade. Dad’s advice:<br />
Nothing comes easy, nothing is handed to you, you want<br />
something, work hard to make it happen.<br />
Q: What would you like to tell your father this Father’s Day?<br />
A: Thank you Dad for all you have done for me, your<br />
continued support has never waived. I believe without you<br />
and all your values you have instilled in me, I wouldn’t be so<br />
grounded. So thank you for everything and I now can carry<br />
all those values onto my children.<br />
Q: What would you like from your children this Father’s Day?<br />
A: Good morning cuddles in bed.<br />
Q: What would be your reaction if your kids said they want<br />
to take up Rugby league instead of AFL<br />
A: I would be very glad. In fact, I’m encouraging my son<br />
to play rugby. I believe in learning all different sports codes<br />
and gain knowledge from all. Every code has something to<br />
offer and the most important is building confidence from<br />
playing sports. Sports is such an equalizer and breaks down<br />
barriers.<br />

Centre to tell us how the great idea was formed and<br />
translated to reality.<br />
T<br />
he brief was simple: to have a<br />
centrepiece that was inspired by the local<br />
flora and fauna of the Northern Territories.<br />
And the other main parameter was since the<br />
installation was to be fabricated in Malaysia<br />
and then brought over to be assembled<br />
in Darwin, it had to be made of smaller<br />
components that would be put together to<br />
from the full sculpture.<br />
So the installation would be comprised of 3<br />
layers: the 1st layer would be the final form,<br />
which would be made out of the 2nd layer –<br />
the smaller components. And the 3rd and final<br />
component would be the material that would<br />
be used. We wanted all 3 layers to be related<br />
to the Northern Territory and Australia as much<br />
as possible.<br />
For the inspiration of elements, we looked at<br />
the Northern Territory coat of arms: And the<br />
most obvious creature from this coat of arms<br />
for us to choose appear flying above the<br />
patrons of the mall was the regal Wedge-tail<br />
Eagle!!!!<br />
FIRST LAYER_THE WEDGE-TAILED EAGLE<br />
The Wedge-tailed eagle is Australia’s largest bird of prey<br />
with an average wingspan of 2.5m. It is dark brown with a<br />
chestnut neck.<br />
Their long, wedge-shaped tail and broad wings make it<br />
easy to recognise. Their legs are covered in feathers right<br />
down to their feet. A hooked beak and strong talons are<br />
the hallmarks of a bird that hunts other animals.<br />
Although they are found throughout Australia, in the NT<br />
they are more commonly found in the arid centre than on<br />
the coastal plains of the north.<br />
SECOND LAYER_ STURT’S DESERT ROSE<br />
Sturt’s Desert Rose has been the floral emblem of the NT<br />
since 1974. It is an arid plant which grows best in stony or<br />
rocky ground such as dry creek beds.<br />
The Desert Rose has had many botanical names in the<br />
past.<br />
It is a member of the cotton family, rather than the rose<br />
family. It was named after Charles Sturt who first collected<br />
it during his journey to <strong>Central</strong> Australia in 1844-45.<br />
The plant is found in the southern parts of the Territory, and<br />
is cultivated as a garden shrub in Alice Springs. It can also<br />
be found in parts of South Australia, New South Wales and<br />
Queensland.<br />
20 coolalingacentral.com.au
It’s a small bushy plant which usually grows to 1.5m. It has<br />
dark green, round to oval shaped leaves. The petals of the<br />
flowers are mauve with a deep red marking at the base.<br />
The flowers look similar to the hibiscus, which belongs to the<br />
same family.<br />

THIRD LAYER_ SASSAFRAS BLACK HEART VENEER<br />
We were looking for veneers from trees indigenous to<br />
the Northern Territory but unfortunately, the veneers from<br />
these trees were too plain. The veneer that had the most<br />
character from Australia was the Sassafras Black Heart,<br />
which is mainly from Tasmania and we felt, that would be<br />
the best option to go with.<br />
Sassafras is famous for its spectacular black-heart stain<br />
caused by naturally occurring wood fungi which produces<br />
a range of contrasting brown to black colours in the<br />
heartwood.<br />
THE ASSEMBLY!!<br />
It took us tens of thousands of man hours over two weeks<br />
with help from colleagues, former colleagues, friends,<br />
partners, family (and some of our kids!) to assemble 2,300<br />
numbers of roses made from about 11,500 big petals and<br />
9,200 small petals cut out from the Sassafras veneer!<br />
These roses were then packed and shipped to Darwin for<br />
assembly. Three of our colleagues were flown to Darwin<br />
and they worked tirelessly for a week to hang up these<br />
roses with fishing lines, paperclips and weighed down with<br />
buttons! to form three massive wedge tailed eagles (with a<br />
wingspan of 13.2 metres each!) hanging over the mall.<br />
NAMING<br />
COOLALINGA<br />
F<br />
or a long time there has been uncertainty<br />
about where the name <strong>Coolalinga</strong> came<br />
from. The place names committee website<br />
states: Litchfield Shire locality derives its name<br />
from the name used by Lent Cant in the 1970’s<br />
for his Store and Caravan Park on the Stuart<br />
Highway at the 19 Mile. <strong>Coolalinga</strong> is possibly of<br />
Aboriginal origin, but some say it came about<br />
due to ‘it being a cool place to linger’ - being<br />
close to 29km from Darwin city.<br />
But I believe Len Cant had an interest in horses<br />
and named his caravan park after a horse<br />
called <strong>Coolalinga</strong>. According to the information<br />
