SUNSHINE Coast horticulture expert Peter Young has taken out a major gong at the 2016 Nursery & Garden Awards.

WAYNE Dyer's quote, "our intention shapes our reality", highlights that the results we get in life are directly related to and based in the intention we have in any given situation. I was recently invited to run a master class on goal setting and in the room were many people who are far more talented than I am at setting goals, achieving outcomes, and making their business work. So why was I invited? My approach is certainly not the classic that takes a key objective and breaks it down ..>> view originalNoosa's welcome to its very different world
WELL, all the contenders have lined up for the council elections and you can brace yourselves for a month of being doorknocked, "flyered", "corfluted" and promised everything your heart desires - and of course be prepared to be disappointed afterwards.

"The conditions were perfect, especially for the younger kids," Holmes said after the event was moved from Maroochydore Beach. Wave Warriors is about participation ..>> view originalGovt preparing to remove asylum seeker baby from Hospital
PROTESTERS surrounded exit points at the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital in Brisbane on Saturday in a bid to prevent immigration officials from transferring a baby. While a spokeswoman for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said nothing has changed and the Department was still negotiating with the hospital about one-year-old baby Asha, refugee advocates said the girl's mother was told their relocation was imminent.
