Some key actions by President Trump during October 2026 (from MS NOW Project 47).

Highlight of October 2026

The highlight of the month was our visit to Bob & Siri in Nambucca Heads (with short stops at Gaven with Hugo; at Tweed Heads with Irene; and at Ocean Shores with Shana and Greg). We had not seen Bob and Siri for more than 2 years, and it was great to catch up with them.

A secondary highlight was the NRL Grand Final won by the Sydney Roosters 19 over the Newcastle Knights 18. James Tedesco got Man of the Match. 

Internationally, the USA/Israel - Iran conflict drags on, now in its 8th month. Trump is trying everything to secure a Republican victory in the Mid Term elections due on 3 November (but most polls are predicting a Democrat win).

Herewith photos of some of our activities in October 2026:

Kings Beach, Caloundra becoming popular as the weather warms.

My first participation in a formal bowls match against Halcyon Park. We won!

I attended this conference. Several presentations were a bit too technical, but you always pick up information. 

The audience at the Parkinson's Conference.

I sat with Alan and Linda. We met them through the PD Supporter's Group.

One of the many slides.

A most enjoyable concert at the Events Centre.

Darren Coggan was terrific. Backing by his sister.

Another concert at the Events Centre.

The artist, Mark, was from Texas. A wonderful impersonation of Roy Orbison.

Australia is hosting the 2026 Rugby League World Cup from 15 October to 15 November. Participating countries include: Australia (The Kangaroos), NZ, England, France, PNG, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji and the Cook Islands.
In the opening game, Australia narrowly beat NZ 24-22. It was a tough tussle which we were lucky to win. Later Fiji beat the Cook Islands 40-12 (CI captain being interviewed in the photo above). Andy & Alexander in Rarotonga may know some of the CI players.  

I got this book from Andy. An amazing story of the first cyclists to ride around Australia (about 18,000 kms) in 1899-1900. The incredible hardships they had to overcome, and did. 

. 

Arthur Richardson was the first person to cycle around Australia. He left Perth in June 1899 and took 243 days to cycle around Australia, finishing his ride in February 1900. His time was actually beaten the following month by Donald Mackay who did the circumnavigation of Australia in 240 days.

Sunshine Coast U3A held a trivia afternoon. My Current Affairs group entered a team. Good fun (we came 5th).

Vera's music group (mainly ukulele) hosted visitors from two other villages: lunch followed by jamming for 2 hours. 

We hadn't seen Bob & Siri in Nambucca Heads (520kms from us in Caloundra). Popped in to see Hugo at Gaven (Gold Coast). 

We stayed with Irene in Tweed Heads. Her beloved husband, Dennis, passed away 2 years ago; Irene is planning to return to Canberra where she has family.

Next stop was Nambucca Heads. It was great to catch up with Bob & Siri over two days. We had a nice walk along the "V Wall" at the entrance to the Nambucca River. We've been here so often over the last 25 years.

We stayed with Shana and Greg at Ocean Shores. Their daughter Catherine was visiting with one-year old grandson James).

Greg with little James, surrounded by love.

Post #306 30 September 2026

 Gentlefolk,

This post describes our main activities during the month September 2026.

The contents of this post are in the following sequence:

News items which caught my eye in September 2026. 

Some key actions by President Trump during September2026 (from MS NOW Project 47).

Highlight of September 2026

The highlight of the month was probably the AFL Grand Final played on 26 September between the Brisbane Lions and the Freemantle Dockers. Brisbane won a very close contest 96-89 in virtually the last minute of the game. 

Internationally, the USA/Israel - Iran conflict drags on, now in its 7th month. The Iranian delegation to the UNGA proposed a solution, which Trump rejected.

Herewith photos of some of our activities in September 2026:

Walking along the Spit at Mooloolabah with friends Henny & Julius. 

The attractive beach at Mooloolabah attracts swimmers all year around.

A group from the Village played "Mini Golf" at Maroochy River Golf Club; good fun!

David (one of our neighbours in Foxtail Lane) organised the golf excursion and everyone got a prize after Mini Golf; followed by dinner. Thanks for a most enjoyable evening, David!!!

Vera completed the 12 session "Speak Out! course with Louise Williams from the Restoring Hope Speech Therapy Centre. Louise is one of the founders of this charity which helps sufferers of Parkinson's Disease improve their speaking and swallowing.

We attended this fund-raising function for a Parkinson's charity devoted to speech therapy. The main event was an auction of items donated by local companies and supporters. About A$8,000 was raised.

The Sunshine Coast Parkinson's choir entertained the audience.

Ralph was diagnosed with Parkinson's about 7 years ago. He spoke about his Parkinson's journey and the benefits of doing speech therapy. 

We belong to a Sunshine Coast Parkinson's Support Group which meets once a month. Sarah is the coordinator. At the September meeting, Sarah invited Louise to give a presentation on the work of the Restoring Health speech therapy charity. Vera & I were pleased to endorse her remarks.  

Friday night "Happy Hour" at the Village Clubhouse. 

I haven't been sleeping well, so finally our GP arranged for me to take a sleep test - all wired up!!! Should get the results of the test in early October. 

.

I have been playing bowls two or three times a week. It is challenging and enjoyable. About once a month our Village plays against other Halcyon villages. In my first-ever "official" competition on 13 September I played against Halcyon Parks  - my team lost a close game, but our Village easily won the overall day. 

The bowls team of Mick, Brian and myself won an internal Halcyon Nirimba competition (we each got $20 -  does that make me a semi-professional???). We were rank outsiders, long odds, but somehow managed to win all our games. Miracles happen!
Also in the photo is Russell Neal who organised the bowls and BBQ lunch afterwards. Thanks for an enjoyable morning, Russell!

We had lunch with my niece Laura at the King Ludwig German Restaurant near Maleny. Laura is living in Noosa while studying Human Resources.

Of course we ordered Pig's Knuckle. It was huge, and delicious!

Saying "Auf Wiedersehen" after a memorable lunch.

The bouganvillea erected by Tom on our back fence is doing well. Thanks, Tom!!! 

Second Anniversary lunch for residents of Foxtail Lane. From left: Gary & Margaret, Linda & Ken, Robyn, Jane & Tony, Sue & Peter, Theresa, Una & David, Peter & Margaret; Tanya & Attila, Cec & Margaret. 
Hard to believe that we have been here almost 2 years!

We had 4 days with Jen & Tom in Brisbane, looking at retirement options (to be closer to family in case we have health issues in the future). Jen was terrific, showing us around Brisbane (but she shuns photos!).

Sid loves their dog, a wonderful Ridgeback called Ketut. 

We visited seven Retirement Villages: 2 St Vincent's Care Mitchelton & Enoggera), 2 AVEO (Taringa & Newstead), The Village Coorparoo, Keperra Sanctuary (Keyton), St Luke's Green Woolloongabba (Aust Unity). All different, all with pros & cons. A good start to understanding the available options.
This photo was taken at the Keperra Sanctuary, to which we gave a high rating.

St Luke's Green at Woolloongabba. Nice, but probably too small (only about 70 residents, mainly singles not many couples).

The AFL Grand Final was played on Saturday 26 September, between the Brisbane Lions and the Freemantle Dockers. It was a tight, close contest. With 4 minutes to go the Dockers had a 17 point lead and most people thought they would win, but then the Lions kicked 4 straight goals to win the game in the last minute. 
The Lions had a three-peat: ie, this was their third AFL Championship in 3 years.  They also had a 3 peat in 2001 - 02 - 03. While four other clubs have scored 3-peats (Melbourne, Carlton, Hawthorn and Collingwood), Melboune is the only other club to have achieved two 3-peats like Brisbane.

Kylie Minogue was the star of the pre-game entertainment. She was born in Melbourne on 28 May 1968 (now 58).

A show performed by The Merryatrics in our clubhouse on 27 September.

In Perth on 27 September 2026 the Australian Wallabies beat the South African Springboks 42 to 38. The Wallabies had four players yellow-carded (each 10 mins off) in the last 10 minutes. Fortunately they had established a substantial lead and somehow managed to hold off the Springboks at the end. 
It's been a few lean years for the Wllabies, so this win was very welcome.
