Financial Abuse Story - Male 37 Sydney

I thought I’d share my story of the extant of abuse that I have received as an ADHD disability male adult in Sydney.

Up until now being the bottom end of my disastrous story I am at whits end because effectively there is no help for my issue as when you read my story you will understand that I have undergone much fatigue in the process and suffer huge PTSD as a result.

The issue that is most concerning is that all the problems started when I was diagnosed for my ADHD and I underwent mental betterment for my mental health whereby it was basically thrown in my face and I was used and abused for it. It’s a silent form of adult attack that I wouldn’t wish for anyone.

Post rehabilitation in a time where I was unwell and suffering from depression, I had recovered from a banking disaster whereby I had a large amount of money stolen from my account in 2015/16. During my time of self-betterment my mother had taken control of $200,000 of my money whereby I had given faith in her with a joint account to help me save.

During this time 2016, a former girlfriend aware of my self-betterment engaged in coercion to make me bankrupt by defrauding and advantaging from my situation whereby I had been in the U.S.A LA, at a recovery retreat to control my diagnosis of ADHD and undertake treatment, though during this time action was pursued against me by default and when I had returned to an already too late outcome I had been made bankrupt when I was solvent and furthermore when I was unable to fight the claim due to my mother and father using my funds and controlling my funds whilst I was in treatment.

7 days after the bankruptcy had taken place and completely distraught as to what had transpired, I had received a call from the now successful creditor (former girlfriend) asking to meet with me as she was apologetic as to what she had done and I was wanting answers as to why she did what she had done.

On the 19th of June 2017, my former girlfriend now creditor had pre-meditated an assault and attempted murder attack whilst I was ambushed by two men in black attire existing my vehicle with my small pet dog. The ambush resulted in 10 days hospitalisation though the story does not end here. Post this attack that had left me with a collapsed lung broken jaw and over 100 wounds, nerve damage and fearing for my life, my former creditor had fled the scene with two accomplices and later issued a false statement saying that I had attacked her and subsequently two men appeared from thin air to save her.

The evidence was not substantiated by her misleading actions though the concern was not of her lies, though was the police when an ambulance nurse had written my medicinal influence at the time for ADHD as amphetamine. Police due to the fact that there were no witnesses and as she had fled the state of NSW in an effort to deter criminal charges, I was left without any justice as the creditor to whom made me bankrupt not only did so in spite and illegally, I was brutally attacked and almost died that evening and to date have not received any justice. ( The testimony by my former girlfriend was false and at a later date came to fruition when she had been attacked by her current partner to whom had attacked me on this evening and wanted to seek redemption for the pain she caused, out of tiresome and being let down already by police I didn’t bother to show them)

Now bankrupt and recovering from nearly being killed and having to cope with post mental fatigue, further undue influence arose when on the 26th of August 2017 my mother had called the police at home where I was still in recovery, she had refused to provide me with money that had been rightfully mine and denied access to my medication whereby I required to have my medication for ADHD. As a form of control and abuse of power that had been restraint on me by my family, I had completely retaliated whereby destroying personal belongings of mine in anger. The same police that earlier were there when I was nearly dead on the street on the 19th June 2017 were now at my parents’ home. All 9 police officers armed and in force this time to attack and engage me as a “Violent” aggressor.

I was arrested and charged, and that evening made homeless as I was restricted by AVO and was in heavy need of medical attention whereby further refused inside custody by officers. At the time I had made a call to my psychiatrist and also lodged a discrimination case against the police for misleading my mother and father to charge me with fictitious claims and that police had also promised my parents that the charges could be dropped when they wanted to do so, the police insisted to my parents that they thought this would be a good idea to teach me a lesson, though as the records showed at a later date when all charges were dropped that the police engaged in unlawful behaviour as they crossed the lines of the law to satisfy their personal understanding without properly investigating the facts. As a result of this fatigue and anguish leaving me virtually mentally unsound. My parents at the time aware of there wrongs assisted to ensure that no charges were made and that the police acted unlawfully and were simply tying in my previous police incident whereby I was the victim. In a nut shell, they wanted to have me charged as a “Drug” induced aggressor, because that’s the norm, though disregarded all ADHD medication and disability rights.

Determined to seek justice from my assault and discriminative treatment by NSW police and undue hardship having to deal with a bankruptcy made by a former partner and now living under a roof of my grandmothers house without any financial capabilities as my parents continued to use financial restraint over me, following a discussion with my father such comments as “Just move forward and forget the past events and come and work for me” growing up I had never wanted to work for my father’s construction company, I gave in powerless and agreed to commence working for my father on the 20th September 2017 as I was a whits end.

As a bankrupt the creditor whom assaulted and hospitalised me now had right to 50% of wage, and as my father refused to support my wishes in taking this matter to court I was cornered into a powerless position whereby I had agreed for my father to save my wages per week to get on my feet. The deal was that he provided me with $300 in cash and save $1850 into an account set up in his name so that I could one day again start to see my life had taken the turn for the better, boy was I wrong.

Work was great and I was instantly promoted within the 3 months and engaged in turning my fathers’ company around for the better. During my employed time from the 20th of September 2017 to 28th September 2018 I had worked on average 70 hours a week and was undertaking serval if not multiple roles, being my fathers’ company, I took much pride in my work as it was family.

During August 2018, on the instructions of my father and his business partner I was told to check on an existing employee with street gang ties to whom assaulted and intimidated me taking advantage of my disability at the time of employment knowingly. On two occasions I was hospitalised at Randwick hospital for being assaulted by this employee, though out of fear and under duress I had not contacted the police as my father and business partner had laughed off these events as cowardly.

Towards the end of August 2018 when I was heavily over-worked and under stress, I had been physically abused and then taken advantage of to cover for the same abusive employee whom I had feared whereby a situation that occurred had then fallen onto me as I had been subjected to losing my job of having to support this employee whom to date still currently works for my father, I had been fired unfairly and without justification and blackmailed.

Following the events of ongoing abuse and now unemployed for which I had not had employment agreement, my father refused to pay me my money that had been saved. What was owing was in excess of $100,000. The company vehicle and apartment were stripped away, and I had resorted back to my grandfathers place where I had been stationed previously following my parents AVO and now faced without income or money again. I had not been aware of the time allocation of making a complaint to fair work as I was in a position of moving without assistance or the help of family members. The mental fatigue was ever so climbing and reaching ridiculous levels of instability. Causing issues with sleep, anxiousness, stress and nervousness.

Now left abandoned and taken advantage of again financially by my father and using the abuse of power without any help from extended families wanting to be involved, I no doubt believe that many would have scene this as a issue of problem intense and many simply did not care and stayed away from involving themselves. Luckily, my father’s cousin from Italy arrived, being a doctor he had scene first hand the hardship as I was admitted to mental hospital for nervous breakdown and suicidal thoughts as no luck had seemed to be going my way when my relative from Italy tried to assist and recover my money with the idea of helping in good faith and for the idea of advising my father that he would agree to pay me in excess of $200,000 when I left Australia and I was on the plane to Italy. Again, under duress and financial control and without possible way of escaping the “Hell of earth” situation, I had agreed and on the proviso of my relative from Italy having an undertaking that my father would transfer the money when I was in Italy. Was yet again another blow when promises had again not been met. Furthermore, during the course of this process I had sent four boxes of all my belongings overseas with the intentions of never again coming back. Though I had been over my head with the thought, I was again a victim of abuse by way of control whereby my father had failed in the agreement made prior leaving Australia on the 4th of March 2019 and I had suffered overseas without income and to the behest of power that he continues to have over me. Both family members mother and father had in dishonest power over my life again deceived me.

Now returned to Australia, living out of a suitcase back at my grandfathers place and not knowing what to call home or not knowing who I am or if this is all one big great nightmare and dream that I will wake up from. My grandmother during these incidents maybe out of stress fell and hit her head and ended up with dementia and my grandfather in hospital as I left Australia, died whilst I was overseas. Now, living in a large five bedroom home, neglected, no food, no income, no car, no concept of reality or idea of what to do next and the feeling as though so surreal and foreign that I dare say or request anything from anyone as I am that mortified of being abused and that scared from life itself, I literally am in a frightening position and can see the lights caving in heading straight for a mental breakdown.

I write this story of events to maybe help others that are out there and maybe if there is an angel or someone out there that I can hear say “Hey, I can help you” you don’t have to be afraid anymore, you don’t have to worry because you are normal and you have every reason to fear these people as they are narcissistic and psychopathic hurtful people and this is not the norm out there, there are good people out there. Is this my reality ? is this life worth living? Having understood the array of complete destruction spanning nearly 4 years, one would agree one of the incidents above would be enough for a successful suicide attempt. Though, I am not strong anymore, I cannot take the continual abuse of power and to be treated unfairly due to my disability or be under duress to even dare say that I agree to one more lie that my father and mother or anyone wanting to involve themselves to try and mitigate the situation, because I can longer and will no longer agree to hand over the keys to my sanity away to abusive financial soul sucking gas lighting family. And I will not, I refuse not to give in to the people that say “but this is your family” they love you. This is not love? Whilst my father and mother live the luxury in a waterfront prime house in Sydney and my father drives around in a half a million dollar vehicle, his son whom he has reckoned the life of is rotting away without hope due to the system and violence of silence that goes unnoticed and undetected by anyone.

This is the most lethal course of violence one could be held under because it is not only an attack on my mental status having ADHD and having been subjected to the issues of my disability, the silence of torture by way of stealth is the most gruesome torture of all.

Hope this story can shed some light, and now you can start to see why this country has a high suicide rate. Because I doubt people can live to tell the truth or even live to tell their story of what happened. There is no justice for this. The alarming abuse of power for people such as me with ADHD / Autistic spectrum that are vulnerable to this type of abuse goes vastly unnoticed and undedicated. The real murderers are not jailed, the real attackers are not charged, and the gifted and honest caring souls are wasted and used by the likes of people whom feed of these talents and abilities to satisfy their own ego and power. They are the ones then sighted at the funeral when all goes pear shaped and someone that does suffer to the likes of something similar above takes his or her life. Its sad but true as you are mourned and saddened by those who inflict the pain by hosting a large funeral and church procession for when you are dead, saluted off with flowers and songs and the priests heart felt talk about the deceased and why it’s a lesson to all etc etc, when the deceased was alive no one cared, no one gave a hoots second to understand the victim. Funny how the money comes rolling in when its time to die, but when its time to live no one wants a bar of you and no one is willing to help? Life was never this way…

To all that are suffering, fight and never give up your life.

In the late 1950s Sydney ripped up its tram network, once one of the largest in the world. Nearly 1,000 trams – some only a few years old – were rolled to the workshops in the city’s eastern suburbs and stripped of anything that could be sold, before being unceremoniously tipped on their sides, doused with sump oil and set ablaze.

Now the trams are returning, as the city painfully rebuilds a tiny part of its old system. The construction of 12.8km of light rail from Circular Quay to Randwick and Kingsford will cost $2.7bn at the latest estimate, has caused untold misery to shops and other businesses in its path and will be almost a year overdue by the time even the first section is open.

The new line hardly represents a fundamental shift in Sydney’s transport thinking, coming as it does alongside the vast “congestion-busting” WestConnex freeway project, and further investment in metro rail (a separate light rail link is also under construction at Parramatta). But it is a reminder that the city might have looked very different today but for the decision taken in the 1950s – and ruthlessly carried out – to prioritise motor transport.

Mathew Hounsell, a senior research consultant at the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology, Sydney, has called the destruction of the network “the largest organised vandalism in our nation’s history.”

He says the decisions made in the 50s had a disastrous long-term effect. “When the trams were removed from Sydney, mass transport patronage plummeted and private car usage soared. Our space-saving trams were replaced with ever-more space-hungry cars, causing ever-worsening traffic.”

That wasn’t how the planners saw it at the time. They were strongly swayed by powerful international influences, which chimed with the unstoppable rise of private car ownership in Australia.

As Graeme Davison relates in his book Car Wars, a succession of Australians studied traffic engineering in the US in the 50s, some under a scholarship sponsored by the Myer family, and brought back an evangelical commitment to urban freeways. And, as one engineer from Los Angeles invited to advise on Melbourne’s traffic future put it: “All large American cities that were beating traffic tangles were getting rid of trams.”

The people of the past seem happier than we, yeah? The fools.

How to start bike racing (in Sydney and Australia)

Perhaps you’ve watched pro cycling for years. You’ve spent many a late night watching Le Tour on SBS. You’re inspired by the pros; how they dance up mountains and rocket down descents, how they battle through rain and snow and scorching sun. You love the tactics; how domestiques sacrifice themselves, breakaways struggle for survival, and the strongest launch their decisive attacks. You’re enamoured by the beauty, the glory, the sheer drama of bike racing.

And you’ve thought to yourself, “I want to do that!”

If you want to try racing for the first time, you’ve come to the right place. This is a beginner’s guide on how to enter your first road bicycle race. While the principles apply all across Australia, this guide will refer to examples from the Sydney cycling scene.

Just follow these 5 simple steps to start bike racing:

Learn to ride in a group

Buy a race licence

Choose a race

Pack the essentials

Show up and race!

Before we think about racing, let’s get our priorities thing straight: safety comes first. Forget bumping elbows, bunnyhopping curbs and diving for gaps in the bunch. At a local club race, everybody’s number one goal is not to win; it’s to go home to their families with their bones (and earning capacity) fully intact.

Bike racing involves high-speed, handlebar-to-handlebar action, so before you enter your first race, you must be comfortable with fast bunch riding. To get comfortable, you should practise riding in a group. Grab some more experienced cycling friends, and ride with them. If you don’t have any cycling buddies to ride with, ask your local cycling club about beginner-friendly group rides.

You should be able to do the following before entering your first race:

Hold your line – you can confidently ride in a straight line without weaving back and forth, potentially colliding with riders behind and beside you;

Draft – you can comfortably ride behind another cyclist, ideally with no more than one wheel-length separating your front wheel from their back wheel; and

Look ahead – you can comfortably ride in a group with your head up, scanning for hazards up the road.

It may take you several rides before you get the hang of it. Take your time to master these fundamental skills before taking them into a race situation.

Once you’re comfortable with riding in a bunch, you’re ready to sign up for your first race.

In order to race, you must hold a racing licence from Cycling Australia.

You can sign up for a full annual race licence at the Cycling Australia website. If you’re not already a member of a cycling club, you should join one when purchasing your licence. The cost of a licence depends on your age category. The “Elite” category, for adults aged 19 to 29 years inclusive, costs $330. Prices start going down once you hit “Masters” category at age 30. Prices are also lower for juniors.

However, if you’re just dipping your toes into racing, there are cheaper options. This allows you to enter an unlimited number of club races in a seven-day period for $38. That’s a far more reasonable price for a beginner. If, after your first few races, you decide to continue with bike racing (and hopefully you will!), you can step up to the full licence.

As of January 2019, there’s also a ‘Race Starter Kit‘, which gives you two months of unlimited club racing for $50, provided you’ve never held a race licence before.

Please note that a Race Starter Kit and one-week licence only allow you to enter local club events. In order to enter the NSW State Championships or other “open” category events, you’ll need a full licence. However, if you’re new to racing, your first few races should be smaller local races anyway, where you can safely learn bunch racing skills and pick up valuable experience.

Once armed with your licence, it’s time to enter your first race.

In a metropolitan area like Sydney, races are held on most weekends and some weeknights. For a list of upcoming races in Sydney, albeit an incomplete one, browse cabici.net or the Mega Watt Machine Racing Calendar. Outside Sydney, check your local cycling club’s website or Facebook page for information about upcoming races.

What sort of race should you be signing up for? It’s recommended that you start with a shorter race. Look for a road race no longer than 30 kilometres or a criterium no longer than fifty minutes. It’d be foolish to enter a 200-kilometre epic like the Grafton to Inverell as your first event.

While shorter races can be quicker and more intense, they are better for beginners because they are logistically simpler. In your first race, you have enough to think about without worrying about food, hydration, and how to get back to your car after you left it five townships away at the start line.

In Sydney, there are many great options for your first race. Here are just a few suggestions:

Heffron Park, Maroubra: run year-round on Saturday afternoons by Randwick Botany CC, this is raced on a classic criterium circuit with a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. The flat course has some tight turns and the pavement surface is uneven, but it’s completely off-road so there’s no traffic to worry about. Also, should anything go wrong, you’re never more than a few hundred metres from the clubhouse. If Saturday afternoon doesn’t suit your schedule, other clubs host races at Heffron on other days of the week.

Sydney Motorsport Park, Eastern Creek: North West Sydney CC runs races here on Saturday mornings a few times a year. The full motorsport circuit is ideal for beginners as it’s traffic-free, very wide and very smooth.

West Head, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park: run monthly on Sunday mornings by Manly Warringah CC. It’s a hilly road race, in contrast to the flatter criterium circuits in the rest of this list. If you’re nervous about cornering, this course will suit you as it’s mostly straight. There are only two turns, those being at each end of the 24km circuit. Strongly recommended if you enjoy a bit of a climbing.

Waratah Park, Sutherland: run by Sutherland Shire CC on Friday evenings (summer) and Saturday mornings (winter), this is a safe, fun criterium course suitable for beginners who live down south in the Shire. Races tend to be relatively short in the lower grades (25min + 2 laps for D Grade), making Waratah Park a good tester for your first race.

Once you’ve selected a race, find out the entry requirements. Most let you register on the day, at the start line, about 30 minutes before the race start.. Some clubs request that you register online prior to race day. In either case, the entry fee is usually $15-$20.

You’ll be asked to pick a grade to race in. Unless you’re exceptionally strong (ask your riding buddies for their opinion), for your first race you should select the lowest available grade – usually D-Grade. If you somehow find yourself too quick for D-Grade, enjoy that winning feeling while you can, because you can be sure they’ll bump you up next time.

Once you’ve picked your event, get excited! You’re about to ride your first-ever bike race!

The night before your first race, make sure you have everything you need.

Strictly speaking, you don’t need much for a race. Here are the bare essentials:

Cycling Australia licence – you’ll need to show this at sign-in.

Cash – for the entry fee, if you haven’t prepaid online.

Road bicycle – goes without saying. Make sure the tyres are pumped and the gears and brakes are in working condition.

Helmet – must have the Australian Standard certification sticker.

Shoes – clipless shoes are best, but technically not required.

Jersey – wear your club kit if you have one; otherwise, wear a plain black or white jersey.

Shorts – again, club kit is preferable.

Socks – your choice of length and colour.

Technically, you don’t need anything else to race. However, it’s recommended that you bring one drink bottle. In a one-hour race, you won’t need more than one bottle and you won’t need any food or gels, except perhaps in the height of summer. You should also consider wearing cycling gloves. While not required, they will help protect your hands in the event of a crash.

You’ll also need to bring whatever you need to get to and from the race. If you’re driving, that’d be your car keys. If you’re riding to the start line, you might need a second drink bottle, food, spare tubes, lights and a mini-pump.

Once you’re all packed, all that’s left to do is to get a good night’s sleep and show up to your first bike race!

To avoid unnecessary stress before your first race, you should aim to arrive at the venue about an hour early.

Head to the sign-on desk, where you’ll collect your race number, pay the entry fee (if you haven’t already done so), present your race licence and sign the sign-on sheet.

Next, pin your race number to the back of your jersey. The race organisers will provide safety pins. If you don’t have a friend to help with this, take your jersey off, lay it on the ground and pin the number neatly to your jersey’s back pockets. For a secure fit, make sure each pin goes through the fabric twice.

Strip your bike of any saddlebags, lights, bells and other accessories. They’ll only weigh you down. Leave these extra bits in your car or in a safe place near the sign-on desk.

Speaking of things that weigh you down, if you need to use the toilet, do it now.

Do a 15- to 30-minute warm-up to get your legs spinning and your heart pumping. If you’re allowed on the course, ride a lap or two of the circuit to get to know the terrain and the conditions. At the very least, try to ride the last few kilometres before the finish line so you’ll know what to expect at the end.

Once you’re warmed up, make your way to the start line 5 minutes before the start time. This is when the commissaire will give a race briefing, telling you important information like how many laps you’re riding, any hazards to watch out for, and how many placegetters will be awarded prize money.

And with that, the commissaire will count you down and send you off on your very first bicycle race. Stay safe, learn lots, and enjoy the experience!

Race-by-race guide and tips for Canterbury Park on Wednesday

How to play it: California Zimbol to WIN. Race 2 2YO COLTS & GELDINGS MAIDEN HCP (1200m) Gary Portelli trained 2. Disrupter will improve sharply here second up off the back of a very good run at Randwick over 1200m where he was only run down late by the talented Reloaded. Staying at the 1200m here suits and jockey James McDonald should be able to cross and find a nice position handy to the speed in a race that lacks early pace. Dangers: John OShea trained 11. Twentyfour Carat got along way back over 1200m last start at Randwick where he was hampered for room at the top of the straight but once he got out late he recorded some good late sectionals, he will be the one trying to finish over the top of them late. Snitzel colt 4. Discharged will benefit from the debut run where he jumped well to sit on a hot pace finishing only a length back from Disruptor, with general improvement from that run should be able to run out a strong 1200m. How to play it: Disruptor to WIN. Race 3 3YO MAIDEN HCP (1250m): Very competitive maiden handicap for the 3yos here and very hard to split the first five in the market, have settled on the the Mark Newnham trained 2. Knowitall Jack off two good trials. The gelding was impressive at his latest trial at Randwick where he settled just off the pace and cruised to the line under a tight hold over 1045m, James McDonald sticks after riding in that trial and gets a beautiful run behind the speed from barrier 3. Dangers: Ron Quinton trained 5. Betty Blooms was very good over 1300m on debut in October last year and has been given a light trial leading in, looks the likely leader on a track that will suit those handy to the speed. 1. England has shown potential without breaking through for a win and resumes off a nice trial at Randwick over 1045m. Godolphin trained 4.Sedgemoor is first up off a very nice trial win at Randwick and will be right up on the pace from the wide draw. How to play it: Knowitall Jack to WIN. Race 4 3YO+ BM70 HCP (1550m): The lightly raced 2. Julian Rock for Goulburn based trainer Jean Dubois has been very good at its two Australian starts and looks to peak here, last start sat outside a very fast pace over 1550m at Randwick and fought on very well to the line on the worst part of the track. Stays at the 1550m which is ideal and looks the only on pace runner which will allow jockey Jean Van Overmeire to run the race to suit. Dangers: Kris Lees trained mare 6. Waruna showed sharp improvement second up at Randwick over 1400m sitting back and charging home late, the step up in distance suits and looks to peak here third up. How to play it: Julian Rock to WIN. Race 5 3YO+ BM70 (1900m): James McDonald takes the ride on the Chris Waller trained 8. Welsh Legend, the filly was tested at Group 3 level in the Adrian Knox Stakes over 2000m and was only 1.3 lengths off the winner. She has been given a trial since that run leading into this and if the filly can find a nice position midfield off the rail she will be fighting out the finish. Dangers: The Waterhouse & Bott trained 2. Wolfe was unlucky last start jumping badly and having to do a lot of work in the run over 1400m and was brave to the line, if the gelding can jump cleanly here he will be hard to run down. The lightly raced 14. Wild Impact for trainer John Thompson could be a big improver here at nice odds off the back of a very good run at Randwick over 1600m, out to 1900m suits and gets a great run behind the speed from barrier 4. How to play it: Welsh Legend to WIN. Race 6 3YO+ BM74 HCP (1250m): Very competitive race with many chances in a race with plenty of early pace, have settled on the Snowden trained 6. Charretera coming off a nice win at Randwick over 1200m showing a quick turn of foot to put them away. With the predicted very fast early speed the gelding gets a nice sit just off them. Dangers: 5. Rockin Ruga won well first up at Kembla leading and giving nothing else a chance and a repeat performance will see it fighting out the finish. 4. Kolding returned a winner first up after being gelded and will be sitting back and with some luck from the inside barrier should be storming home late. How to play it: Charretera to WIN. Race 7 3YO+ BM70 HCP (1100m): Filly 9. Gododdin returns for the first time to the races as a 3YO after showing city class potential as a 2YO, looks ready to go here off the back of a quiet trial behind Nature Strip over 1045m at Randwick, has great gate speed and should be right up on the pace from the inside barrier. Dangers: Main danger looks the stablemate 7. Medovina, first up was flashing home over 1150m at Randwick off a moderate pace, back to 1100m is a slight query but if the mare isnt too far off them in what looks a solid run race she will be rattling home. How to play it: Medovina to WIN. Tips supplied by Racing NSW. Full form and race replays available at racingnsw.com.au.

AUSTRALIA pt 2: MY ‘SYDNEY TOP 10’

Across the world, countless bloggers have majored on Australia as a destination; there’s also a ceaseless stream of toned and fashionable Australians who dominate a casual perusal of the Instagram ‘Explore’ screen as if the algorithm is calibrated to go overweight Aussie beauty! My experiences, however, are just that; my own, not ‘new’, but just from me. That said, I sure as hell did my research before arriving in Sydney, systematically surveying every single Australian I know, then distilling their collective output into a one-week, extensive plan of attack! Indeed, having done-and-dusted with my experience in the Great Barrier Reef, pursued my full Sydney scheme precisely as it was sketched out, it gives me great joy to recount and depict the choicest of experiences here to you dear reader, whether you’re just curious or are planning an adventurous ‘Active Escape’ of your own! This post makes up Part 2 of the Australia series – and I sense there will be countless more parts to follow upon my future return to that magnificent country! I discovered an outdoor-dwelling society, predisposed to health and fitness, blessed with supreme weather and a fresh fish-based diet, in a culturally diverse and well-invested city where inhabitants genuinely smile. In fact it’s so good, this could conceivably be ‘home’ one day! Click MORE to discover my Top 10 experiences in Sydney…

POWER-WALKING THROUGH THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN…

Just south of the iconic Circular Quay, and with an unconstrained view of the key landmarks from Mrs. Macquarie’s Point, a walk through the lush and fertile exotic gardens both lifts the sense and culminates with as good a view from the Rocks as you’ll get of the Harbour. For a clear empty run of it, going early in the day seems to be the trick to avoid tour-bus overload, but if you do go around lunchtime, you’ll see dozens of Sydney-siders running sprint circuits up and down Mrs. Macquarie’s Stairs!

2. HIKING FROM COOGEE TO BONDI…

Not for the faint of heart, and requiring somewhat of a comfortable pair of shoes, THIS is an 8.1km hike, lasting around 100 minutes. The wind howls on this part of the rugged coastline, the waves are treacherous, but the views are breathtaking and really quite awe-inspiring. Whether you just want to take in the coastline, breathe the air, bask in the sunshine, or admire the ocean-view properties, it is a superb walk. The path takes you through the lush and verdant Gordon’s Bay, the tranquil and striking Waverley Cemetery in which thousands of souls proudly look eternally out to sea, the Hunter Sculpture park, Bronte Bay (a surfer’s mecca), ending up on the iconic Bondi Beach.

3. OBSERVING ICEBERGS…

An iconic saltwater swimming pool, supplied and replenished by the crashing waves below; positioned at the commencement of the sweeping Bondi crescent, Icebergs is somewhat of a must, and is the natural conclusion of your Coogee-to-Bondi excursion, welcoming you as a refreshing iceberg after the desert hike! Note, it’s empty Thursday mornings for cleaning, so avoid it then (d’oh!). If you want some other epic places to swim, try North Sydney Pool (under the north side of the Bridge), or Andrew Boy Charlton pool on the far side of the Royal Botanic Gardens.

4. DINNER AROUND BONDI BEACH…

…wandering the length of the crescent, I stumbled upon an understated beachfront joint called Sean’s Panorama, which I later discovered is somewhat of a hard-to-book legendary institution. We happened upon an early table outside for sunset, bathed in the enrobing crepuscular light, and whiled the evening away with delicious fresh Australian fish dishes, typifying the relaxed approach to life, serving what’s caught on the day, per the Chef’s whim. At the other end of the spectrum, the 6 am Bondi Rush is something to behold, as the locals walk dogs, swim before work, and generally recouple with their beloved outdoors lifestyle before the day begins. Learning to surf is somewhat of a tourism box-ticker here, so if you haven’t, why not…

5. VISITING THE OPERA HOUSE…

…But not just seeing it, actually going to a performance in the cavernous Sydney Opera House ‘Concert Hall’. Same day concessionaires tickets were literally 20 GBP per head for central stalls seats, to see the country’s most distinguished orchestra (Sydney Symphony) present their rendition of Bartok’s Bluebeard’s Castle. Which was unusual, but utterly stunning, and a sonic treat to hear this remarkable sound-stage turned up to full texture and max volume! It struck me how much of a difference there was between the building from a distance (stunning), and the building up close (just like The Barbican in EC2, all brutalist and concrete). There’s a pretty stunning bar under the facility, with a terrace that looks directly at the Bridge, and is a sublime choice for a sunset tipple. Just beware of the confident seagulls!

6. CLIMBING THE BRIDGE…

Something I didn’t do. Why? The prohibitive cost of the activity, and the prohibition of any photographic media or even mobile phones! It’s basically as expensive to climb as it is to fly over in a private helicopter, which doesn’t sound right to me! So instead of climbing it, I took a lunch or two directly beneath it at the exquisite Park Hyatt, and snapped this shot of some chaps at the summit!

7. TAKE THE FERRY TO MANLY BAY…

Leaving from Circular Quay, almost regardless of the destination, this is one of the best ways to see the headline sights of Sydney, per the below images

8. GO ON SAFARI…

… well perhaps not quite, but Taronga Zoo is hands down the best zoo I’ve ever visited. There are many who are conflicted about the concept of animals in captivity, including myself; what I saw at this zoo was the greatest effort being made to provide an environment as close to the natural one as possible. There were exceptions, of course, some of which I struggle with, but as an admirer of nature, I was thrilled and exhilarated to see such a broad repertoire of incredible creatures, up so close. There are a significant number of photos included below to show you just how personal the encounters are with some of the most majestic beasts.

9. SEEK OUT COFFEE…

I love the stuff. Every Australian worth their salt loves the stuff. This place would seem to be the source of the hipster coffee shop invasion which took over London around 2-3 years ago, chief amongst them being Taylor Street Baristas. I tried around 10 of the most recommended coffee shops in Sydney, and through a totally unscientific, unmethodical approach involving randomness and amateur tasting notes, I have crowned a winner; Motown Coffee, details HERE.

10. SAMPLE LUNCHES…

Two iconic venues I discovered:

Catalina – Rose Bay. (http://catalinarosebay.com.au ) Sublime fresh food, and pure theatre inside. Clean white lines and a vast glass panorama revealing the sea-plane landing strip before you in the bay (the restaurant takes its name from the class of iconic seaplane https://www.catalina.org.uk), guests are just fabulously clad, wearing extravagant and exquisite dresses even for a light brunch. Unaware of this, I wasn’t! The food itself, however, is presented in no less spectacular a fashion, with a dedication to the symmetrical and ordered. The entire place feels extremely clean and fresh, with a light, vaguely hedonistic vibe pervading the volumes, never straying into the ostentatious. This is a slam-dunk great ‘occasion’ lunch for a trip to Sydney!

Otto Ristorante. (https://ottoristorante.com.au/sydney/) Just on Cowper Wharf in Woolloomooloo, and from the fringes of the CBD, this is the best place at which to recover strength after a stroll around the Botanical Gardens. Delivering fresh Italian inspired Australian fare, the Humpty Doo baby barramundi with lemon and evoo was a particular hit for me!

Other venues repeatedly recommended to me:

Eastern Suburbs: Lox, Stock and Barrell (Bondi Beach), Bondi Tratoria, Trio (Bondi Beach), Speedo Cafe (Bondi Beach), Brown Sugar (Bondi Beach), Three Blue Ducks (Bronte), Bake Bar (Randwick).

Inner City: Kepos St Kitchen (Alexandria), The Gorunds (Alexandria), Aqua Dining (above North Sydney Pool),

North Shore: Thelma and Louise (Neutral Bay), Burnt Orange (Mosman), The Boathouse Balmoral Beach, The Boathouse Shelley Beach (Manly), The Boathouse Palm Beach.

That’s my list! Now, I bid you, do go and explore this fabulous, versatile playground!!!

Chris Waller-trained Nature Strip wins $15m The Everest at Royal Randwick

Nature Strip has won the richest race on turf, the $15 million The Everest at Royal Randwick. The Chris Waller-trained galloper took out the $6.2 million first prize, winning the 1,200m sprint race from the fast-finishing Masked Crusader and Eduardo. The race was seen by many as a head-to-head clash between Nature Strip and last year’s winner, Classique Legend. Nature Strip and the Joe…

Revealed: The Australian regions with the fastest growing consumer spending

Customer spending is growing faster in regional areas than in big Australian cities, and businesses that operate pubs and accommodation services have benefited from a spending growth rate of 13.5% over the last quarter.

National Australia Bank’s most recent customer spending numbers reveal Australian customers dropped an average of $2114 in metropolitan areas and $1949 in regional areas in the last quarter, with New South Wales delivering the fastest growing metro and regional regions.

By capital city area, Hobart takes the prize for the biggest jump in spending, growing 4.1%. Sydney delivered growth of 3.9%, while Melbourne was up 3.7% on average, compared with the same quarter last year.

Australians spent 3.1% more on consumption-based goods and services, but not all states are seeing spending going up overall.

Spending went backwards in Perth, coming in at -0.4%, while regional areas in Western Australia were flatter, growing 0.7%, and the Northern Territory’s regional areas took a -1.4% hit.

However, NAB says the numbers show there’s customer dollars to be spent in regional areas, with 15 local government areas outside of big cities posting spending growth of more than 10% in the past quarter.

“Our regions already play an important role in our economy. It’s clearly in our nation’s interest to continue to support these areas so that they can prosper”, NAB chief economist Alan Oster said in a statement.

There’s also some positive news for regional business owners in Tasmania, Queensland and NSW: these states see at least half of their total overall customer spending coming from regional areas instead of city areas.

Despite growth, it’s been a tough decade for spending

Economist and adviser to Dun and Bradstreet Stephen Koukoulas says it’s important businesses understand that consumer spending can be influenced by a number of social factors, and not just confidence levels.

NAB highlights that across the country, the last quarter saw a 13.5% jump in spending on pubs, restaurants and accommodation, which Koukoulas says speaks to an increasing consumer focus on spending on experiences, and fast paced lifestyles that lead to more individuals eating out.

“You’re getting a well-off group of people who are spending things on services, not goods. They’re buying nice things, rather than buying on goods,” Koukoulas says.

Koukoulas say it’s also worth remembering that the past decade has seen softer spending numbers in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.

“There’s been that “cautious consumer” that you’ve probably read about. The really big picture sort of stuff is the fact that consumer spending anyway has generally been a bit weaker over the last five years or so,” Koukoulas says.

Meanwhile, competitive pressures, particularly in retail, mean some businesses might not be feeling as though customers have more to spend on their offerings, he believes.

“For the small retailers and strip shops, they are seeing really inexpensive clothing of good quality available in department stores. The competition in the retail sector is very, very tough right now, if you’re trying to make your margins,” says Koukoulas.

Top 10 areas with increases in customer spending – Metropolitan

Hunters Hill, NSW – 13.2%

Woollahra, NSW – 9.9%

Mosman Park, WA – 9.5%

Ashfield, NSW – 8.6%

Randwick, NSW – 8.4%

Holroyd, NSW – 7.6%

Fairfield, NSW – 7.0%

Brimbank, VIC – 6.8%

West Torrens, SA – 6.7%

Pittwater, NSW – 6.4%

Top 10 areas with increases in customer spending – Regional

Walgett, NSW – 19.7%

Upper Hunter Shire, NSW – 16.1%

Murray, NSW – 14.4%

Torres Strait Island, QLD – 14%

Torres, QLD – 14%

Murrundindi, VIC – 12.6%

Bland, NSW – 11.9%

Gundagai, NSW – 11.3%

Narrabri, NSW – 11.3%

Buloke, VIC – 11%
