Drive in to town and stay a while
SEEMS coastal folk are getting sick of the traffic jams clogging up their arterials. We met a couple of newbies shopping in Woolies the other day who just happened to live in Aura. Apparently it’s quicker to drive up Bells Creek Arterial to get to Beerwah than cope with the mess that is the rest of Caloundra. Food for thought.
Dribbling mess
I don’t get much feedback from my column, but thanks to the gentleman who said I was dribbling on a bit last week. I actually do that every week but no drama.
Tipping against the best
The state newspaper The Courier‑Mail has their finger on the pulse—a story last week revealed that this newspaper’s sister publication had revealed that Glasshouse MP and Tourism Minister Andrew Powell had tipped NSW three times in this season’s State of Origin. I get it, tipping is all business and many a punter has come undone tipping with their hearts. But of course, Queenslanders do everything with heart, including winning Origin, so you can’t win… or can you.
Town plan
I had no idea Beerwah East was so close to the golf course. Planned right and you could do away with a car and just own a golf buggy and with direct access to the 10th and 17th holes. Don’t quote me on that.
I played another course the other day and it drove home the fact that Beerwah is a tricky course, underlined by the first which is not only an annoying dog leg right, but has out of bounds up the entire right-hand side of the fairway. I’m not one to complain, or improve my game, but that is a terrifying start to the day whenever I do play.
