When my elderly mom was moving alone to a new home, we were all worried even though she assured us she would be fine. So, we did some research online to help her with some moving tips and found a good article that described how she could easily move homes on the Gold Coast using a detailed checklist. She followed the tips and was able to sort, pack, hire movers and arrange her new home properly for the relocation. I am now sharing the article here so you can also help your senior parents or family members in moving homes on the Gold Coast.

Marlene Pointon is still pinching herself at the sheer joy of being in the right place at the right time to see her first fogbow and capture the fascinating phenomenon on camera.
The Goomeri grazier lives "up in the clouds". She walked down the hill from her home to photograph cattle in the early morning fog. "I looked up and here's this white rainbow. Oh my god, it was really exciting," Ms Pointon said. "As quick as it appeared it disappeared." Ms Pointon turned to the internet to discover the science behind the rare sight.

Lesley Leece runs a non-profit organisation that collects mail for people who are homeless, and she says without an address people struggle. "If you don't have any identification, if you don't have an address, you pretty much don't exist in our society," Ms Leece said. It's a quandary tens of thousands of Queenslanders now face. A new report, from the Queensland Council of Social Service and The Town of Nowhere campaign, found the number of homeless in the state has shot up more than 20 per cent in five years — almost triple the increase nationally.

Olaf Meynecke, who heads Griffith University's whale and climate research program, was one of 100 scientists and documenters on board a two-week expedition to the western peninsula of Antarctica this month. Dr Meynecke has documented how humpbacks adapt their feeding behaviour for areas with an abundant food source. "How much food was there, defined what kind of feeding behaviour they were showing," he said.

I recently came to know about a problem called cheek biting. It is a common issue that can impact the oral health by causing sores, ulcers, scars, and inflammation on the sides of the cheeks. Usually, it is a result of misaligned teeth or an involuntary reaction to stress and anxiety. If the problem is occurring due to anxiety, the patient has to visit a psychologist for therapy and may have to take medication to relieve stress. Some common methods of finding mental peace are using mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises and meditation. I am sharing an article to explain this in detail. https://www.dentisthopeisland.com.au/cheek-biting-causes-and-treatment/ Jenny Heath was a dental nurse until her builder partner Dylan convinced her to help him build their dream home together.
"It is not what I thought I would do at all," she said. "I actually ended up loving it." She enjoyed the work so much she signed up for a carpentry certificate and in November, the couple finished construction of their five-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Palm Beach on the Gold Coast. Beaming with pride, she said they built the house "from the ground up": Digging holes and pouring concrete; putting in the footings, frames and support beams; building the deck; putting on plasterboard and cladding; laying the flooring and installing the windows and doors.

However, the AER's chair, Clare Savage, said the default market offer for electricity would likely have risen between 40 to 50 per cent without government intervention to cap prices in the domestic gas and coal markets late last year. "Since [the government] started talking about interventions in October last year, the prices seem to have stabilised in the last couple of months," she told RN Breakfast.

City of Gold Coast councillor Mark Hammel, whose division takes in the area, today moved a motion seeking the council "commence the removal of the Yatala lights installation" at a cost of $250,000. He received unanimous support from councillors on the Transport and Infrastructure Committee.
