ANZAC DAY <strong>2024</strong><br />
Where to pay respects<br />
this ANZAC Day<br />
ELLIE BUSBY<br />
From Dawn Services to games of<br />
two-up, residents across <strong>Parra</strong>matta<br />
and Cumberland will remember those<br />
who made the ultimate sacrifice for our<br />
country this ANZAC Day.<br />
Every year on <strong>April</strong> 25, Australians everywhere<br />
come together for a day of national<br />
remembrance to honour those who have<br />
served and continue to serve.<br />
Locally, a range of services will be held at<br />
dawn – the time of the original landing in<br />
Gallipoli – to commemorate ANZAC Day.<br />
In <strong>Parra</strong>matta, a Dawn Service will be<br />
hosted by the <strong>Parra</strong>matta RSL sub-Branch at<br />
the War Memorial and Cenotaph in Prince<br />
Alfred Square at 4.30am. There will not be a<br />
march this year.<br />
Club <strong>Parra</strong>matta will also be open from 9am,<br />
serving up a range of ANZAC Day specials for<br />
both lunch and dinner.<br />
The Epping RSL sub-Branch ANZAC Dawn<br />
service will kick off at 6am at the War Memorial<br />
and Cenotaph in Forest Park, Epping.<br />
All veterans who would like to parade are<br />
encouraged to assemble at the stairs off<br />
Blaxland Road in Epping at 5.45am, where the<br />
march will then begin.<br />
Over in Merrylands, the Dawn Service will<br />
start at 5am for the 5.15am march at Charles<br />
Locals will gather this Thursday for ANZAC Day commemorations.<br />
Mance Reserve. The Granville service will<br />
begin at 6am at Granville Memorial Drive,<br />
followed by breakfast at the Granville Diggers<br />
Club<br />
The Auburn Dawn Service at Auburn<br />
Memorial Park will also commence at<br />
6am.<br />
Following the dissolvement of the Lidcombe<br />
RSL sub-Branch, the ANZAC Day Dawn<br />
Service hosted at Remembrance Park,<br />
Lidcombe, will no longer go ahead – including<br />
the breakfast following the dawn service at<br />
DOOLEYS Lidcombe Catholic Club.<br />
Those who would have attended this<br />
event are instead encouraged to join the<br />
annual DOOLEYS Regent’s Park ANZAC Day<br />
commemoration service at 1pm at Regent<br />
Street Pavilion, in partnership with Heartbeat<br />
Church.<br />
For those looking to be involved in a day<br />
service, Guildford Leagues Club will hold a<br />
mid-morning service at 10:30am, followed by<br />
A range of Dawn Services will take place<br />
locally this Thursday.<br />
light refreshments.<br />
Club Merrylands Bowling is also inviting<br />
both members and guests to pay their respects<br />
to those who have served and continue to<br />
serve at a 10.30am service.<br />
Albion Hotel, Merrylands RSL Club, The<br />
Epping Club and Silverwater Hotel are just<br />
some of the local venues that will be hosting<br />
games of two-up in the afternoon, along with<br />
food specials.<br />

We must never forget ANZAC legacy<br />
When ANZAC Day comes around every year,<br />
many of us wake up early and head to the<br />
Dawn Service.<br />
It is a time of important reflection and tribute.<br />
For each individual, there’s a slightly different<br />
reason they’re there and a mixture of<br />
feelings running through their thoughts.<br />
One thing we should all reflect on is how<br />
lucky we are. And how much we owe those<br />
who served our country, many losing their<br />
lives so we could live ours in the high standards<br />
we do today.<br />
It is so important that ANZAC Day continues<br />
to thrive as it will be harder and harder for new<br />
generations to make a personal connection to<br />
the first and second World War, and for them<br />
to understand how it changed our country<br />
and ultimately, their lives today.<br />
That is hardly their fault – time heals all<br />
wounds, they say, and the younger generations<br />
will have their own tragedies and world<br />
events to commemorate and remember.<br />
But we can never forget those who fought<br />
and died for us. Lest We Forget.<br />

ANZAC day offers many lessons<br />
“They shall not grow old, as we that are left<br />
grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the<br />
years condemn. At the going down of the sun,<br />
and in the morning, we will remember them.”<br />
These words, penned a century and ten years<br />
ago by the English poet Laurence Binyon,<br />
have become immortalised as the Ode for the<br />
Returned and Services League (RSL) and a fixture<br />
at ANZAC Day commemorations around<br />
the country. In hearing them, as I did this past<br />
weekend at the annual Sunday Service of the<br />
Epping RSL Sub-Branch, it was impossible not<br />
to tremble.<br />
The remarkable thing is that they have never<br />
become rote during my 37 years in Australia,<br />
perhaps in the same way as prayers and recitations<br />
in a church.<br />
On the contrary, I have found that they take<br />
on a different hue each time, capable of fresh<br />
interpretation whether received through the<br />
wide-eyed innocence of a child, the wisdom<br />
you gain as an adult, all the way to those solemnly<br />
and quietly contemplating their own<br />
mortality in later life.<br />
The power of the Ode, I have also found, lies<br />
in combination with the strains of The Last<br />
Post. It is a melody that can fill the air with<br />
pomp and assurance, or tentatively, self-consciously,<br />
with everyone willing the bugler to<br />
succeed despite the occasional false note.<br />
Ironically, it is the less confident rendition<br />
that forces the deepest introspection. Almost<br />
as if the wavering tune and rustling wind are<br />
metaphors for the vicissitudes of the soldier<br />
and fragility of life.<br />

Sunday’s event started with a sombre service<br />
at the Epping Club. This was followed by the<br />
traditional short parade along Rawson Street<br />
to the Boronia Park Cenotaph for the dedication<br />
ceremony and laying of wreaths.<br />
Shaded by blue gum trees, within earshot of<br />
the chirping of birds and youngsters enjoying<br />
nearby play equipment, the site is one of my<br />
favourite places in Epping. Bearing a plaque<br />
on stone plinth, and surrounded by additional<br />
plaques mounted on a perimeter wall, it is<br />
dedicated to locals who paid the ultimate sacrifice<br />
during the First and Second World Wars.<br />
These men and women form an estimated<br />
103,000 deaths with Australian units from Korea<br />
to Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and other<br />
theatres of conflict around the world.<br />
The scale of the loss, and of the pride to local<br />
communities, is unfathomable.<br />
Noticeable among the sea of faces – including<br />
those who joined afterwards for tea, coffee,<br />
and a heaping serving of cakes and ANZAC<br />
biscuits, was the diversity. Veterans wearing<br />
blazers and medals, together with their families.<br />
Members of the Golden Kangaroos Concert<br />
Band. Parents of young children brandishing<br />
their musical instruments, many of<br />
Asian or Indian subcontinental background.<br />
Local dignitaries, uniformed cadets, representatives<br />
of nearby churches and just ordinary<br />
community members and passers-by.<br />
We will see a similar fusion of traditional<br />
and contemporary Australia as more events<br />
take place across <strong>Parra</strong>matta and Cumberland<br />
culminating with ANZAC Day on Thursday.<br />

All paying their respects to a sacrifice that remains<br />
timeless, and the values of courage, endurance<br />
and mateship in the face of adversity<br />
– first forged on the cliffs of Gallipoli – that will<br />
forever define who we are.<br />
This year’s commemorations come at a<br />
troubled time both in the world and at home.<br />
With the recent tragedy at Bondi Junction and<br />
church riot in Wakeley, our community has<br />
gained newfound appreciation of the importance<br />
of public service and how it takes many<br />
forms.<br />
The actions of Inspector Amy Scott in singlehandedly<br />
neutralising a lethal threat to the<br />
public will live long in the history of this city,<br />
in the same way as those of our armed service<br />
personnel.<br />
We cannot all be soldiers, firefighters or<br />
police. But perhaps this ANZAC Day, we can<br />
think about acts of service that we can perform<br />
in our own lives.<br />
This is what ANZAC Day does – compelling<br />
us to care beyond self and appreciate that we<br />
are nothing without those around us, not to<br />
mention those who have come before.<br />
I visited Gallipoli back in 2007, the only time<br />
in my life that I have done so. Having been<br />
born in London with parents hailing from Goa<br />
in India, I still remember it as an important<br />
stop on my visit to Turkey. A pilgrimage that I<br />
felt I had to make.<br />
Coming to terms with ANZAC Day is important<br />
for all of us as we learn, in our own way,<br />
to become not just better people but better<br />
Australians.<br />

ANZAC DAY <strong>2024</strong><br />
Next generation reflects<br />
Service never forgotten as students reveal what ANZAC Day means to them<br />
ELLIE BUSBY<br />
A<br />
collection of mementos<br />
on display at St Margaret<br />
Mary’s Primary School<br />
in Merrylands has seen students<br />
reflect on what ANZAC Day means<br />
to them.<br />
Teacher Lyn Burton, who created<br />
the display, said its great to see<br />
it spark an interest in the young<br />
students.<br />
“A lot of children have got interested,<br />
saw the display and then<br />
shared their stories about their<br />
family histories and what they know<br />
about ANZAC Day,” she told <strong>Parra</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong>.<br />
“[It’s about] teaching the children<br />
that ANZAC Day isn’t just about<br />
Gallipoli, there was so much more<br />
than just Gallipoli, but also teaching<br />
them about the qualities and the<br />
things of people who did serve, as<br />
well as the women that worked hard<br />
and the effect on families.”<br />
The ANZAC display has been<br />
mostly compiled from photos and<br />
artifacts that Burton’s parents<br />
collected over time, as well as<br />
replica newspapers Burton found<br />
herself as a teenager.<br />
Students Gabriella Clark, who holds a photo of her great uncle, and Levi<br />
Van Spanje, with the medals of his relatives who served.<br />
She said she’s loved being able to<br />
tell the stories of those who have<br />
served to the children, including<br />
that of her own parents.<br />
“Mum was a nurse and my dad was<br />
in the air force and then moved to<br />
the army. He didn’t serve overseas<br />
but he joined with his brother - they<br />
thought it would be a bit of fun to<br />
join the armed forces,” she said.<br />
“And one of them learnt it wasn’t<br />
fun, because he was sent to New<br />
Guinea and was presumed lost<br />
for quite a long time, so that was<br />
distressing of course for his family,<br />
but he was found.”<br />
For eight-year-old St Margaret<br />
Mary’s student Gabriella Clark,<br />
ANZAC Day is an opportunity to<br />
remember her great uncle who<br />
fought in World War I.<br />
“It means a lot to me, and ANZAC<br />
Momentos on display.<br />
Day ALWAYS reminds me of him,”<br />
she said.<br />
Levi Van Spanje, also eight-yearsold,<br />
enjoys going to the ANZAC<br />
Day March in Sydney every year in<br />
honour of his family members who<br />
have served.<br />
He is particularly proud of his great<br />
grandfather, George Van Spanje,<br />
a submariner with the Dutch East<br />
Indies who fought against the<br />
Japanese in the Pacific. Pride is the<br />
overwhelming feeling.<br />
“I’m proud of them… I think of<br />
them every year on ANZAC<br />
Day in the city marching,”<br />
he added.<br />
Grace Carlo-Stella,<br />
Principal of St Margaret<br />
Mary’s Primary, added<br />
that it’s important that<br />
young people know<br />
about the Australians who<br />
fought for the country’s<br />
freedom.<br />
“We’re very grateful that<br />
Lyn does that for us because<br />
I think it’s really important<br />
to keep the history alive for<br />
the young students coming<br />
up, and whether they’ve had<br />
ancestors that have fought in<br />
battle or not, it’s important that we<br />
remember what Australians did for<br />
us to have the country that we have<br />
today,” she said.<br />
“Once we get back from our school<br />
break, Lyn and Michelle, who is<br />
our other teacher librarian, they<br />
will actually be taking every class<br />
throughout the first two weeks<br />
and doing some work on ANZAC<br />
Day, because we think that’s very<br />
important.”<br />

Views mixed on sky<br />
high apartment plan<br />
ELLIE BUSBY<br />
The NSW Independent Planning<br />
Commission has approved a new<br />
$210 million 34-storey buildto-rent<br />
tower for <strong>Parra</strong>matta – but not<br />
everyone is happy about it.<br />
Despite objections by City of<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta, developer Novus will now<br />
proceed with plans to construct 204<br />
build-to-rent units at 39-43 Hassall<br />
Street.<br />
Set to feature a three-storey retail and<br />
commercial podium, the tower will<br />
also include three levels of basement<br />
car parking for 84 car spaces, a rooftop<br />
terrace, swimming pool and communal<br />
open spaces.<br />
The State Significant Development<br />
is slated to provide approximately 329<br />
construction jobs and 66 operational<br />
jobs.<br />
Planning documents said the tower<br />
will contribute towards a “vibrant, energetic,<br />
healthy, sustainable, and resilient<br />
community” in <strong>Parra</strong>matta.<br />
“The proposed development will<br />
deliver new dwellings within Paramatta<br />
CBD and will contribute to the housing<br />
needs of Greater Sydney and particularly<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta CBD,” it said.<br />
“The proposal will also align with the<br />
principles of urban revitalisation, which<br />
seek to deliver a genuine 30-minute city<br />
where people live, work, educate, and<br />
recreate all within 30 minutes of Sydney’s<br />
Central River City.”<br />
But the plans have also raised some<br />
flags among the local community –<br />
particularly surrounding traffic and<br />
potential flooding.<br />
How the podium of the new 34-storey<br />
building will look.<br />
15 submissions were received opposing<br />
the development, with only two in<br />
support of the plans.<br />
“Parking is already a nightmare in this<br />
area. How on earth the developer thinks<br />
that 84 car spaces is an appropriate<br />
provision for a building of this scale is<br />
beyond me,” one local resident said.<br />
“Another ugly designed building to<br />
mar the streetscape, [especially] with its<br />
proximity to heritage areas and buildings.<br />
Also increased risk of flooding due<br />
to proximity to Clay Cliff Creek,” another<br />
said.<br />
A City of <strong>Parra</strong>matta submission<br />
revealed the Council holds serious<br />
concerns about how the development<br />
will handle the risk of flood.<br />
“After reviewing all of the material<br />
shared by the Commission, Council is of<br />
the view that the proposed development<br />
will present significant risk of harm to<br />
occupants and others in a severe storm,”<br />
the submission said.<br />
“Horizontal evacuation is not possible<br />
and so the development relies on shelter<br />
in place, but the proponent has sought to<br />
minimise this to an unserviceable and<br />
unsafe level, contrary to Council advice<br />
and DCP requirements.”<br />
The NSW Independent Planning<br />
Commission granted developmental<br />
consent for the project – but only if the<br />
developer follows a selection of requirements<br />
to improve flood safety for future<br />
occupants.<br />
This includes developing a shelter in<br />
place strategy and restrictions on horizontal<br />
evacuation.<br />

ELLIE BUSBY<br />
Housing has been revealed as the<br />
number one challenge impacting<br />
residents in key suburbs of<br />
Cumberland, according to a new mental<br />
health and wellbeing survey.<br />
A door-to-door mental health and wellbeing<br />
survey carried out in Westmead, Wentworthville<br />
and South Wentworthville has<br />
revealed that nearly two in five householders<br />
reported worrying about their housing<br />
and living conditions.<br />
1,544 householders in Cumberland were<br />
spoken to as part of the Assisting Communities<br />
through Direct Connection (ACDC)<br />
Project – an initiative that involves knocking<br />
on the doors of householders and offering<br />
information about services, instead of waiting<br />
for people to ask for help.<br />
From the 205 householders who responded<br />
to the survey, a whopping 72.4 per cent were<br />
born outside of Australia.<br />
Bill Gye, CEO of Community Mental<br />
Health Australia (CMHA), who manages<br />
the ACDC Project, said it’s not surprising<br />
that housing is a key concern to residents in<br />
Cumberland.<br />
“Housing is really big and in some areas<br />
it’s the number one concern, and that’s also<br />
something we hear on the news all the time,<br />
it’s the price of rental equality,” he told <strong>Parra</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong>.<br />
“The quality of the housing and the availability<br />
of the housing is really an issue.”<br />
People Connectors from Psychcentral,<br />
who partnered with CMHA, went door-todoor<br />
between August 20<strong>23</strong> and March <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
They spoke with householders about their<br />
mental health and wellbeing and distributed<br />
information about the free support<br />
services available in their area.<br />
Gye said the major factor that stopped<br />
people in Cumberland accessing support<br />
was that they believed they were not unwell<br />
enough.<br />
“This is consistent with other research<br />
showing that for many people, particularly<br />
those from culturally and linguistically<br />
diverse backgrounds, that mental health is<br />
something that happens to other people and<br />
is seen as something to be embarrassed or<br />
ashamed about,” he said.<br />
“People think that you should only seek<br />
help when things are very bad or at crisis<br />
point – which is what we don’t want.”<br />
Gye added it also shows a greater need<br />
for improved promotion to Culturally and<br />
Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities<br />
about the value of general mental health<br />
and wellbeing.<br />
“We must make sure that they’re localised<br />
and individualised and not cookie-cutter<br />
solutions that are suitable for different<br />
diversity groups,” he said.<br />
“Particularly so they’re culturally<br />
appropriate, so they’re more accessible for<br />
people.”<br />
Of those surveyed, 50 per cent revealed<br />
they would benefit from more support talking<br />
to a professional face-to-face, with 38<br />
per cent saying they would prefer to talk to<br />
others who have had the same experiences.<br />
The ACDC Project is being implemented<br />
in communities across all states and territories<br />
of Australia to improve wellbeing and<br />
collect important data with the assistance of<br />
the Centre for Social Impact.<br />
Gye said this report will contribute to local<br />
planners data to help plan more precisely<br />
what’s needed in particular local areas<br />
when it comes to mental health.<br />
“Being connected with people in communities<br />
is something human beings have done<br />
for most of our evolutionary time, we’re now<br />
a lot more fragmented,” he said.<br />
“We need a kindness revolution.”<br />

Surfin’ Western Sydney<br />
$75 million URBNSURF rolls into Sydney Olympic Park<br />
ELLIE BUSBY<br />
Projected to inject a whopping $250<br />
million into the local economy over<br />
the next two decades, Sydney’s first<br />
ever surf park is already making waves in<br />
western Sydney.<br />
Locals will no longer have to make the trek<br />
into Sydney or down the coast to catch some<br />
waves, with the much-anticipated URBN-<br />
SURF Sydney finally set to open on May 13.<br />
Located in Sydney Olympic Park, the $75<br />
million wave park spans 3.6 hectares, with a<br />
lagoon size similar in size to that of the Sydney<br />
Cricket Ground.<br />
Having grown up in Greystanes, URBNSURF<br />
CEO Damon Tudor believes the park will have<br />
a huge impact on western Sydney and introduce<br />
a whole new generation to surfing.<br />
“For me, many decades ago I learnt to surf<br />
traveling from the west, so being able to<br />
present it here in such a great location… it’s<br />
something really special,” he told <strong>Parra</strong> <strong>News</strong>.<br />
“[We’re] also creating a destination location<br />
that’s going to operate almost every day of the<br />
year, other than Christmas Day, Good Friday<br />
and ANZAC morning, so that in itself is very<br />
different for Olympic Park, which is obviously<br />
driven by events and major activities.<br />
“Here you’ve got something people will<br />
come to see – it will just bring to life the whole<br />
precinct.”<br />
Surf’s up in western Sydney, as URBNSURF Sydney prepares to open.<br />
Last week, URBNSURF Sydney officially<br />
turned on the wave machine for the first time<br />
publicly, as plenty of surfers eagerly hit the<br />
water to check it out for themselves.<br />
The park uses Wavegarden technology to<br />
pump out 400 waves per hour and provide up<br />
to 12 “perfect” waves per person.<br />
Not only open to expert surfers, URBNSURF<br />
offers plenty of sessions at all levels of surfing<br />
ability.<br />
“What we’ve already seen with our park in<br />
Melbourne, there’s people who have surfed<br />
at Melbourne who have never surfed in the<br />
ocean before, so it created a whole new accessibility<br />
to different segments,” Tudor added.<br />
“It’s definitely opened it up, the key thing<br />
URBNSURF Sydney will officially open to the<br />
public in Sydney Olympic Park on May 13.<br />
is we like to say is it’s democratised surfing –<br />
anyone can do it now.”<br />
Set to operate seven days a week, the facility<br />
will accommodate up to 1,000 visitors per day.<br />
The park also features a surf academy, a<br />
leisure swimming pool, skate pad, a Rip Curl<br />
shop, and a health and wellness centre.<br />
Hospitality group Applejack will also<br />
introduce two new food offerings to the park<br />
– including the second location of popular<br />
North Sydney restaurant RAFI, and casual<br />
surfside all-day eatery Sandy’s.<br />
“We really needed to create a destination<br />
restaurant, so we’ve got Sandy’s which is the<br />
surfside all-day eatery for the general surfers,”<br />
Applejack Director, Ben Carroll said.<br />
“But upstairs [in RAFI], we wanted to create<br />
something quite different, and we wanted that<br />
elevated service but still super accessible.”<br />
Bookings are now open at www.urbnsurf.<br />

Centre (SBAC) we strive to make<br />

Unlocking the power of Google<br />
My Business for small businesses<br />
Having a strong online presence is<br />
crucial for small businesses, and<br />
Google My Business (GMB) sits at<br />
the heart of that presence. Yet, many businesses<br />
are yet to unlock the full potential<br />
of their GMB profiles. From setting up your<br />
profile to harnessing the power of reviews<br />
and improving your search ranking, there’s<br />
a lot to cover.<br />
So, let’s look into how you can make GMB<br />
work harder for your business.<br />
Why GMB matters<br />
Google My Business is more than just a<br />
directory; it’s your digital storefront. It’s the<br />
first thing many potential customers will<br />
see when they search for your services. A<br />
well-optimised GMB profile can improve<br />
your visibility, help you share important<br />
information about your business, and allow<br />
you to connect with customers directly from<br />
the search results.<br />
Setting up your GMB profile<br />
Getting your Google My Business profile<br />
up and running involves a few key steps<br />
that are essential for making your business<br />
easily discoverable online. Here’s how to get<br />
started:<br />
1. Claim your listing: Search for your<br />
business on Google to see if it already<br />
exists. If it does, you can claim it as your<br />
own. If not, you can easily add your<br />
business to Google.<br />
2. Verify your business: Google needs to<br />
verify that your business is legitimate<br />
and that you’re the owner. This is<br />
usually done through a verification code<br />
sent via postcard, phone call, or email.<br />
3. Complete our profile: Fill in every<br />
detail about your business. Start with<br />
the basics: your business name, address,<br />
and phone number (NAP). Then add<br />
your website, business hours, and a<br />
detailed description of what you offer.<br />
4. Add photos: Visuals are key. Upload<br />
high-quality images of your business,<br />
including your logo, the exterior and<br />
interior of your location, and any products<br />
or services.<br />
5. Choose the right categories: Select<br />
categories that best describe your business<br />
to help Google match your profile<br />
with relevant searches.<br />
Harnessing the power of reviews<br />
Encourage satisfied customers to leave<br />
a review by making the process as easy as<br />
possible. This could be through follow-up<br />
emails, links on your website, or even a gentle<br />
nudge at the end of a service. Remember, a<br />
healthy number of reviews (more than 10)<br />
adds legitimacy to your business in the eyes<br />
of both Google and potential customers.<br />
Improving your GMB ranking<br />
To climb up the search rankings, you need<br />
to optimise your GMB profile with relevant<br />
keywords, regularly update your information,<br />
and post fresh content through GMB<br />
posts. Additionally, responding to reviews<br />
and questions shows that you’re active.<br />

Watch out world! This week the Sun<br />
squares Pluto (in your sign) and there’s<br />
a Full Moon in your career/public/<br />
reputation zone. So you need to find<br />
appropriate ways to let off steam, and<br />
choose challenging projects to channel<br />
all your electric energy into. It’s also time<br />
to embrace and celebrate your contrary,<br />
quirky Aquarian side. As birthday great<br />
Barbra Streisand observes, “I am simple,<br />
complex, generous, selfish, unattractive,<br />
beautiful, lazy and driven.”<br />
Tuesday night’s Full Moon shines<br />
a bright spotlight on travel, communication<br />
and/or education. And your<br />
financial future looks rosier this week, as<br />
the planets activate your money zone in<br />
positive ways (Mercury moves forwards<br />
on Thursday and lucky Venus is visiting<br />
until <strong>April</strong> 29). So – whether you get a pay<br />
rise, take on a second job, cash in some<br />
investments, organise a garage sale or<br />
sell an important asset – it’s time to make<br />
hay while the Sun shines!<br />
Mercury has been reversing through<br />
your sign, which can cause misunderstandings<br />
with other people and lots<br />
of self-doubt. Mercury finally moves<br />
forwards on Thursday and – hopefully<br />
– you have learned a thing or two over<br />
the last few weeks. Your motto for the<br />
moment is from Barbra Streisand,<br />
“Doubt can motivate you, so don’t be<br />
afraid of it. Confidence and doubt are at<br />
two ends of the scale, and you need both.<br />
They balance each other out.”<br />

This week the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus<br />
are jumping through your sign, the Full<br />
Moon revs up your relationship zone,<br />
and Mercury moves forwards. So avoid<br />
getting stuck in a static way of thinking<br />
and a routine way of behaving. A current<br />
situation (or problem) has more flexible<br />
options and exciting possibilities than<br />
you previously thought. Your motto is<br />
from movie star (and birthday great)<br />
Barbra Streisand, “I just don’t want to be<br />
hampered by my own limitations.”<br />
On Thursday, Mercury (your ruling<br />
planet) finally moves forwards which<br />
will boost your confidence, energy levels,<br />
and personal magnetism. But there’s also<br />
a tricky Full Moon so, if you indulge in<br />
gossip and make hasty pronouncements,<br />
you could end up in a complicated mess.<br />
There’s a lot going on behind the scenes<br />
that you’re not aware of. Smart Twins<br />
will do some detective work (and check<br />
the facts thoroughly) before you proceed<br />
with your plans.<br />
The Sun, Jupiter and Uranus are<br />
visiting your networking zone, and the<br />
Full Moon stimulates your friendship<br />
zone. So the more you mix and mingle,<br />
and the more connections you make,<br />
the better the week will be. Looking for<br />
employment? It’s time to capitalise on<br />
all the contacts you have. From family<br />
and friends to colleagues and casual<br />
acquaintances. Don’t wait for opportunities<br />
to magically appear. Be proactive<br />
about following your dreams!<br />

Prepare for a colourful week Cats! On<br />
Monday, the Sun/Pluto square will amp<br />
up your bossy side. Then Tuesday night’s<br />
Full Moon falls in your home zone so<br />
be on domestic drama alert. Confiscate<br />
all sharp implements and choose your<br />
words wisely, as loved ones are liable<br />
to make mountains out of molehills.<br />
Mercury moves forwards on Thursday<br />
which favours travel, education and<br />
communication as you socialise with a<br />
wide range of cosmopolitan people.<br />
After nearly three weeks of confusion,<br />
chaos, delays and/or dramas, Mercury<br />
(your patron planet) finally turns direct<br />
on Thursday – yeah! Plus the Sun, Jupiter,<br />
Uranus and the Full Moon activate your<br />
travel, education and adventure zones,<br />
which encourages you to explore exciting<br />
new horizons. The wider your circle<br />
of friends and acquaintances, the more<br />
influence you will have in the big world<br />
outside your door. Being curious and<br />
confident are the keys.<br />
This week the planetary focus is on<br />
money and business matters, as Tuesday<br />
night’s Full Moon fires up your finance<br />
zones. But the lingering Sun/Pluto<br />
square could throw a partnership challenge<br />
in your direction (perhaps involving<br />
jealous behaviour or a power struggle).<br />
Your ruling planet Venus is visiting<br />
your relationship zone (until <strong>April</strong> 29)<br />
and Mercury turns direct on Thursday,<br />
so do your best to play the perceptive,<br />
diplomatic Libran peacemaker.<br />

CAPRICORN<br />
DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20<br />
Monday starts with the lingering<br />
effects of the intense Sun/Pluto square,<br />
which could amp up your control-freak<br />
tendencies. And then the Full Moon<br />
lights up your sign on Tuesday night,<br />
which could magnify your compulsive<br />
side. You’re determined to win an argument<br />
or solve a problem but don’t step on<br />
other people’s toes in the process. And<br />
don’t get stuck in a stultifying rut. Less<br />
confrontation and more cooperation will<br />
get you where you want to go.<br />
Mercury is still retrograde until<br />
Thursday so there could be a misunderstanding<br />
with a child, teenager or friend.<br />
Choose your words carefully and look<br />
to your trusted circle of loved ones for<br />
comfort and support. With the Full Moon<br />
stimulating your seclusion zone you’ll<br />
find rest, relaxation, meditation and/<br />
or contemplation are essential. Shirley<br />
Maclaine says, “The most profound<br />
relationship we will ever have is the one<br />
with ourselves.”<br />
This week you’ll find life’s complicated,<br />
partnerships are unpredictable, and<br />
the rules are constantly changing, as<br />
unresolved relationship difficulties or<br />
financial issues come back to test you.<br />
Maybe you need to simplify your life, cull<br />
some of your commitments, or finally<br />
give a fair-weather friend the flick? Plus<br />
find time to spruce up your living space<br />
so Casa Capricorn is more comfortable<br />
and beautiful. Fresh flowers and relaxing<br />
music are a must!<br />

IN THE MIRRORwith Cassidy Pearce<br />
Reviewing my Beauty Pass Sale haul<br />
If you’re anything like me,<br />
you probably spent a little<br />
too much on last week’s<br />
Sephora Beauty Pass Sale.<br />
Here are my first impressions<br />
on the things I bought, and<br />
whether I think they’re worth<br />
your money – with or without<br />
the 20 per cent off.<br />
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve<br />
Peptide Lip Treatment in<br />
‘Strawberry Sorbet’<br />
The Ole Henriksen Pout<br />
Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment<br />
is described as an advanced<br />
lip treatment that instantly<br />
plumps lip with hydration and<br />
smoothes lip lines.<br />
With lip products all the rage<br />
at the moment, everyone is<br />
trying to find the best one, and<br />
I truly think this is a contender.<br />
As far as texture goes, I think<br />
it’s fairly similar to the Lanolips<br />
Superbalms, however it’s not<br />
quite as thick and gloopy. In<br />
saying that, it’s also not as thin<br />
as the Summer Fridays ones,<br />
meaning it lasts longer, and<br />
you don’t have to reapply as<br />
frequently.<br />
I haven’t purchased anything<br />
from Ole Henriksen before, so<br />
I likely wouldn’t have picked<br />
it up if I hadn’t seen it recommended<br />
on TikTok, but I’m so<br />
glad I did!<br />
Fenty Beauty Demi’Glow<br />
Light-Diffusing Highlighter<br />
in ‘Pretty Purlz’<br />
Fenty Beauty just released<br />
their range of Demi’Glow<br />
Light-Diffusing Highlighters,<br />
which are skin tone-based<br />
highlighters designed to flatter<br />
every tone for a low-key glow.<br />
Being so fair, I’m always nervous<br />
about highlighters being<br />
too deep for my skin tone, but<br />
I was pleasantly surprised by<br />
the shade ‘Pretty Purlz’. I think<br />
it provides a natural ‘lit from<br />
within’ type of glow, which I<br />
would recommend to anyone<br />
looking to complement a<br />
no-makeup-makeup look.<br />
Lanolips Lip Scrub Strawberry<br />
The Lanolips Lip Scrub is a<br />
balm-based lip scrub made<br />
with gentle sugar and real,<br />
finely ground strawberry seed<br />
pieces to smooth away dead<br />
skin, whilst the 70 per cent<br />
lanolin deeply hydrates.<br />
I generally lean towards more<br />
harsh sugar scrubs for the lips,<br />
so this product will definitely<br />
take some getting used to, but<br />
based on first impressions I do<br />
think it does a good job at both<br />
smoothening and hydrating<br />
the lips – especially given it’s<br />
only $15 full price.<br />
Natasha Denona Hy-Per<br />
Natural Face Palette<br />
The Hy-Per Natural Face<br />
Palette is a brand-new concept<br />
for Natasha Denona, featuring<br />
a combination of eyeshadow,<br />
blush, bronzer and contour<br />
shades.<br />
The face shades have a<br />
natural matte finish, and are<br />
buildable in pigmentation. I<br />
do think the pan sizes might<br />
be an issue if you’re wanting<br />
to use a larger brush, however<br />
thankfully the shades don’t<br />
have too much fall out, so if you<br />
are careful, you don’t have to<br />
worry about picking up more<br />
than one by accident.<br />
Of the eyeshadows, ‘Dreamy’<br />
is by far my favourite, being<br />
the only true shimmer, whilst<br />
the others are more malleable<br />
formulas which could be satin<br />
or matte depending on how<br />
they’re applied.<br />
At $112 full price, I do think<br />
you’d be better off finding<br />
something less expensive, as<br />
this is a lot of money to spend if<br />
you’re not completely obsessed<br />
with a product – I prefer my<br />
Hourglass palettes as another<br />
option at a similar price point.<br />
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch<br />
Luminous Powder Blush in<br />
‘Love’<br />
I picked this one up as I was<br />
looking for a red-toned powder<br />
blush to go over the top of a<br />
similar liquid shade I have<br />
already.<br />
I think this one is really pretty,<br />
and thankfully nowhere near<br />
as glowy as it looks in the pan!<br />

According to police, the front and rear<br />
windows were down about an inch. They say<br />
they managed to force a window open, unlock<br />

MOVIES, TELEVISION, MUSIC AND MORE – PARRAMATTA’S LEADING ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE<br />
MOVING,<br />
FUN AND<br />
MEMORABLE<br />
CASSIDY PEARCE<br />
In 2020, award-winning journalist Shannon<br />
Molloy released Fourteen – a memoir<br />
about growing up gay at an all-boys<br />
rugby-mad Catholic school in regional<br />
Queensland. Now, it’s made its way to<br />
the stage, and it’s heading to Riverside Theatres.<br />
Lead performer Conor Leach has been involved<br />
with ‘Fourteen’ since its original season,<br />
having portrayed Molloy now for almost<br />
two years.<br />
According to Leach, once the script came<br />
across his desk, being a part of the show was<br />
a no-brainer.<br />
“I read the script, and I read the book, and<br />
it just grabbed me immediately. I don’t think<br />
any actor in their right mind would say no,” he<br />
said.<br />
“It’s such a beautiful and moving story, and<br />
I was so drawn to Shannon’s vulnerability in<br />
sharing the story in his book.”<br />
Though playing multiple different versions<br />
of Molloy throughout his life in what is such<br />
a personal role has had its challenges, Conor<br />
said that having him on board during the creative<br />
process has definitely taken some weight<br />
off his shoulders.<br />
“I find acting a very exciting challenge all the<br />
time, but truly the best resource was the book,”<br />
he said.<br />
“Shannon just laid out his story all for me,<br />
and he was the best resource to have, as well<br />
as him being the room. Just getting a sense of<br />
his energy was enormously useful.<br />
“There’s a lot of mental gymnastics in the<br />
show in terms of who I am at any given time<br />
– am I 14-year-old Shannon, or 30-year-old<br />
Shannon?”<br />
But, with the show set against a backdrop<br />
of iconic ‘90s music, Leach assured<br />
there are still plenty of fun<br />
aspects to it for cast and audience<br />
members alike.<br />
“The beauty of the show is that there’s camp,<br />
and there’s comedy, and there’s so many fun<br />
dance routines, but that’s juxtaposed with the<br />
very harsh reality of what Shannon was going<br />
through when he was 14,” he said.<br />
“I love when I get to alternate very quickly<br />
between those moments, because it feels<br />
very lifelike, like tragedy and joy in the same<br />
breath.”<br />
Having not done the show since its original<br />
season, which kicked off in September 2022,<br />
Leach said he can’t wait to bring it back.<br />
“Over the last year and a half, it’s just been<br />
sinking in – the story and the world of the play<br />
and the character. It’s settled a bit,” he said.<br />
“Coming back to the show is like putting on<br />
your favourite pair of jeans – it just feels comfortable<br />
and joyous and truly just such a privilege<br />
to bring a story like this to the stage.”<br />
Assuring he’s not exaggerating when he says<br />
‘Fourteen’ will make you laugh and cry, Leach<br />
said the show isn’t just for one type of person,<br />
with everyone able to get something out of it.<br />
“We’ve had lots of school students who’ve<br />
loved it, lots of families came to see the show<br />
and adored it, lots of older folk who had sons<br />
or grandsons who may have experienced<br />
things like Shannon,” he said.<br />
“It was one of those rare shows where you<br />
could sense how it was moving people and<br />
changing people as you were doing it. It’s a<br />
beautiful celebration of [Molloy’s] story.”<br />
‘Fourteen’ will be on at Riverside Theatres<br />
on Friday, May 3 and Saturday, May 4. Tickets<br />
start at $34.50. For more information or<br />

COUNTRY<br />
CORNER<br />
Stapleton heads down under<br />
Tickets are on sale now for Chris Stapleton’s<br />
Australian tour early next year.<br />
He will play at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena<br />
on March 3.<br />
It is Stapleton’s first Australian tour and<br />
comes as his status as one of the biggest<br />
artists in country music continues.<br />
Kentucky-born Stapleton is an 10x Grammy,<br />
15x CMA and 10x ACM Award-winner and<br />
one of the United States’ most respected and<br />
beloved musicians.<br />
In the midst of yet another triumphant<br />
year, Stapleton recently won two awards<br />
at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards: Best<br />
Country Solo Performance and Best Country<br />
Song (both for his #1 song, ‘White Horse’).<br />
He was also named Entertainer of the Year at<br />
last year’s 58th ACM Awards.<br />
For more information on the tour visit<br />

no saddle,” she sings in her honeyed tone.<br />
On one hand her lyrics criticise country<br />
music’s sudden and widespread assimilation<br />
into pop culture; boots, hats, rodeo – all<br />
of which she references in the timely track.<br />
Yet it also serves as a celebration of the<br />
genre’s roots, praising its trailblazers and<br />
heroes. “Yeah, you can wear the hat, but you<br />
can’t fake that.”<br />
“Growing up, I wanted to be like Calamity<br />
Jane or Annie Oakley,” she said.<br />
“I loved their outlaw attitude and the way<br />
they fiercely inspired countless women to<br />
blaze their own trails and I see that same<br />
quality in the women I share my life with.”<br />
Social commentary aside, Brooke intended<br />
the song to be a departure from her usual<br />
tendencies.<br />
“Compared to the majority of my songs<br />
that often hold a strong emotional tone, this<br />
one was written with a lightheartedness,”<br />
she said.<br />
The song is out now on all the usual<br />
streaming services.<br />
Brooke wears heart on her sleeve<br />
A perceptive storyteller with a mesmerising<br />
voice, Katie Brooke is one of few modern<br />
country music artists to still call Australia’s<br />
rural reaches home.<br />
Her latest single ‘Can’t Fake That’ holds a<br />
candle to that true blue way of life.<br />
“Can’t be all hat and no cattle, all horse and<br />

REVIEW<br />
Monkey Man<br />
<br />
2 hours, 0 minutes<br />
Chaotic is a good way to<br />
describe Dev Patel’s directorial<br />
debut with ‘Monkey Man’,<br />
not that it’s necessarily a bad<br />
thing.<br />
Patel co-writes, stars and<br />
directs this fast-paced action<br />
flick, where power and money<br />
rule and revenge is at its core.<br />
Patel stars as ‘Kid’, who<br />
scraps behind a gorilla mask<br />
at an underground fight club.<br />
He may not be the best fighter<br />
on the card, but it’s money in<br />
the hand and clearly there’s a<br />
bigger goal at play.<br />
The bigger goal becomes<br />
clear when Kid lands a job in<br />
a high end club that attracts<br />
political leaders and city<br />
officials, including the Chief<br />
of Police (Sikandar Kher), who<br />
we learn destroyed Kid’s life.<br />
As ‘Kid’ seeks revenge, the<br />
body count grows – and the<br />
violence deepens.<br />
‘Monkey Man’ is certainly<br />
a wild ride, and there’s little<br />
consistency – one minute<br />
we’re going through a lengthy<br />
quiet patch with little action,<br />
the next we’re watching a<br />
flurry of punches, kicks and<br />
gunshots – it certainly goes<br />
from zero to 100 in the blink of<br />
an eye.<br />
The film is exceptionally well<br />
edited and shot, and at times<br />
you feel like you’re right in the<br />
room with them.<br />
But it’s impossible to escape<br />
that it’s almost too stop-start<br />
at times, and definitely 20-odd<br />
minutes too long.<br />
If you’re an action fan, you’ll<br />
find plenty of highs in ‘Monkey<br />
Man’ – there’s certainly some<br />
pretty impressive fight scenes<br />
and a particularly bloody<br />
kill scene that will have you<br />
turning away with eyes closed.<br />
The story is reasonable<br />
enough to carry it through,<br />
but it doesn’t go to a level that<br />
makes it a memorable flick or<br />
re-watch material.<br />

RED EYE, STAN<br />
Ê It’s been confirmed that ’90s mega hit<br />
‘Melrose Place’ is getting a reboot, with the<br />
show’s three original stars set to reprise their<br />
roles. Heather Locklear, Laura Leighton and<br />
Daphne Zuniga are all attached to the latest<br />
reboot, which is currently in its early stages.<br />
The synopsis reads: “When one of their dearest<br />
friends dies suddenly, the OG residents of<br />
Melrose Place gather to honour the deceased.<br />
But the pressure cooker of a reunion<br />
soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old<br />
romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals<br />
new secrets… throwing our characters<br />
into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the<br />
past, but with a much more modern perspective.”<br />
In case you may have missed it, there<br />
was already a ‘Melrose Place’ reboot (with a<br />
new cast) back in 2009 but it didn’t last.<br />
Ê New UK drama ‘Red Eye’ has landed on<br />
Stan this week. Told over six adrenaline filled<br />
parts, ‘Red Eye’ is set between an all-night<br />
flight from London to Beijing, the streets of<br />
London, and the corridors of power within<br />
Whitehall. The series stars Jing Lusi, Richard<br />
Armitage, Lesley Sharp and Jemma Moore.<br />
Check it out.<br />

Must Go’ is currently streaming on Binge and<br />
Foxtel. The series features the former American<br />
late-night talk show host visiting new<br />
friends he’s met through his podcast, where<br />
he dives deep with listeners from around the<br />
world. Making stops in Norway, Thailand, Argentina,<br />
and Ireland, O’Brien surprises some<br />
of his most memorable fans while also taking<br />
in local culture, cuisine, and sights.<br />

How to beat Str8ts –<br />
Like Sudoku, no single number can<br />
repeat in any row or column. But...<br />
rows and columns are divided by black<br />
squares into compartments. These<br />
need to be filled in with numbers that<br />
complete a ‘straight’. A straight is a set<br />
of numbers with no gaps but can be in<br />
any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black<br />
cells remove that number as an option<br />
in that row and column, and are not part<br />
of any straight. Glance at the solution to<br />
see how ‘straights’ are formed.<br />

Rudan vows to fight until the end<br />
NATHAN TAYLOR<br />
The equation to play in the A-League<br />
Finals is simple for Western Sydney:<br />
defeat Melbourne Victory on Saturday<br />
night and hope 11th placed Western United<br />
cause a massive upset on Sunday by beating<br />
Melbourne City.<br />
The Wanderers will have to qualify for their<br />
second post-season in a row the hard way<br />
after they lost their final home match of the<br />
season 2-1 last Saturday evening.<br />
A win over Melbourne City would’ve locked<br />
in Western Sydney’s place in the <strong>2024</strong> playoffs,<br />
but instead they’ll have to win this weekend<br />
and make sure other results go their way.<br />
City led 2-0 at half-time after Leo Natel and<br />
Marin Jakolis scored goals in the opening<br />
stanza at CommBank Stadium.<br />
Clearly unhappy with his side’s first half<br />
performance, Wanderers coach Marko Rudan<br />
made two changes at the break and it was<br />
one of those substitutes, Marcus Younis, who<br />
dragged his side back into the contest with a<br />
perfectly placed header to make it 2-1 in the<br />
