signage will also be updated to reflect the new arrangements Sunshine Coast Division 2 Councillor Terry Landsberg said it had been a busy holiday season and with the foreshore generally protected from

number of incidents over the last few months we decided to maintain a higher of service in this location.” Surf Life Saving Queensland State Regional Operations Manager Aaron Purchase said the service change was a proactive step by Council and SLSQ to increase bathing safety in the area “The use of the patrol flags will make it easier for the public to identify the best place to swim in the area

trails in the foothills of the High Atlas From my vantage point on a rooftop terrace I can see the snaking form of the Ourika River meandering through the swathe of palmerias at the southern edge of Marrakech It’s hard to imagine that barely 20 miles (32km) separate me from the frantic bustle of the famous Djemaa el Fna square and the clamour of the souks “Salam alaikum,” says Abdelkarim Ait Ali, owner of Ourika Lodge (doubles from £53) as he loads my already groaning table with the generous breakfast offerings that are part of traditional Amazigh (Berber) hospitality “There are so many [hot air] balloons this morning!” he says I hadn’t even noticed the distant specks in the skies above the city The realisation that even the skies are crowded makes it easier to picture the ruckus that reverberates through one of the world’s most vibrant cities each morning I’d fallen in love with Marrakech during my first assignment there three decades ago I’m immensely grateful that I’d decided to base myself in Ourika valley where the only sounds this morning are the sizzling of my Berber omelette and the braying of a mule from the mountain trail behind the house At weekends these colourful riverside cafes on the upper Ourika are full of visiting Marrakchis Photograph: M Bell/Getty ImagesAbdelkarim had guided me on a hike into those mountains the previous day and I’d been astounded that such pristine wilderness could lie so close to a city of a million people leading tours and expeditions throughout the High Atlas and beyond He shows me carob trees with their chocolate-flavoured seed pods and cypress seeds harvested for what French colonials called le poivre des pauvres (the poor man’s pepper) “Mountain people place dried oleander leaves on a fire to create antiseptic smoke,” he tells me I’m astounded that such pristine wilderness could lie so close to a city of a million peopleFrom the ravine below comes the sound of a wild boar cracking through the vegetation She emerges from the thicket with five striped piglets hurrying to keep up but fortunately we are downwind and she remains unaware of our presence patches of snow glint on the peaks of Toubkal national park It has been four years since north Africa’s highest mountains had a proper snowfall and the ski-season at nearby Oukaïmeden has been almost nonexistent once again this year The last wild Atlas lion was shot near those high peaks in 1942 but experts believe that African wolves are now making a comeback in the High Atlas’s remotest valleys We see the hoof prints of boar everywhere and it’s easy to imagine that the wolves may find rich pickings if they return Abdelkarim explains that the boar population is almost at infestation level as their meat is haram (forbidden to Muslims) There are worries that the drought is bringing them increasingly into contact with the villagers as the hungry pigs raid fields and homesteads on a nightly basis Artist André Heller’s Anima Garden Photograph: Mauritius Images/AlamyIt has been a hard time for farmers Spring meltwater rather than rainfall is the primary life force for the Ourika valley’s fruit orchards It is where I learn how saffron, Morocco’s valuable “red gold”, is harvested. Morocco’s deliciously refreshing mint tea is celebrated, but the saffron-scented tea I sip on a sunny terrace in the Jardin du Safran, amid an orchard of persimmons, kumquats and clementines, stands out. Even among the mind-boggling assortment of flavours – thyme tea, sage tea, lavender tea, absinthe, even artemisia (AKA wormwood) tea – that are popular among the Amazigh, this is a highlight.

Man’s Leather Master (Iffraaj) in the Class 5 Freesia Handicap (1800m) and Mark Newnham’s Power Koepp (Equiano) in the Class 3 Kalanchoe Handicap (1200m) I’ve had decent support and a nice book of rides and it’s nice to deliver,” said Badel as he cast his eye ahead to Champions Day this weekend “Happy Together is my faithful friend and I believe his form is good and I think it’s interesting to see him over the mile I think it’s a tough race but he’s so honest Ellis Wong and Caspar Fownes combined for a race-to-race double landing the Class 4 Geranium Handicap (1000m) with Super Sixty (Written By) who finished powerfully along the rails to triumph before Sky Cap (Capitalist) led virtually all the way to win the Class 4 Lusitano Challenge Cup Handicap (1200m) so hopefully he’ll kick on from this they were deserving of their victories and hopefully he can get some more support now and more winners,” Fownes said He was only beaten three and a half lengths at Sha Tin and came here with an inside gate [barrier two] He was going to be competitive but winning or not We’re just happy to get the result.” said: “I’m really happy to ride both of them for Caspar Things have been a bit quiet but the boss [Fownes] gives me good support and I hope I can keep on riding more winners.” Badel’s compatriot Antoine Hamelin struck on Ricky Yiu’s Jolly Ruler (Helmet) in the first section of

lotto enthusiast has been in the game for 30 to 40 years and his persistence has finally paid off spectacularly but I’ve never gotten division one,” he explained The realisation that he would be a millionaire came as a shock during the routine check “When I was marking off my numbers last night then I kept checking and discovered I had all six The new millionaire has already shared his good news with friends and family with a lunch party perhaps the first of many festivities “I’m retired so it’s going to be a real help,” he noted He intends to invest in some home improvements “There’s certainly lots I could do!” he added The winning ticket was purchased at Happy Valley Newsagency in the Happy Valley Shopping Centre “It’s such an exciting feeling to know that we played a part in

Hong Kong Jockey Club Executive General manager James Ross highlights the “place to be” in Hong Kong which is Happy Valley for the racing. Riding with supreme confidence, Hugh Bowman’s growing winning streak continued with a treble at Happy Valley on Wednesday night as the Australian struck success for the fourth consecutive Hong Kong meeting.  Bowman triumphed on Stellar Swift (Starspangledbanner) for David Hayes in the second section of the Class 4 King’s Park Handicap (1200m), Danny Shum’s Harmony Galaxy (Courtier) in the Class 4 Wylie Handicap (1800m) and Mark Newnham’s Casa Rochester (Redwood) in the Class 4 Oi Man Handicap (1650m) to maintain impressive momentum with six wins from his past 31 rides.  “I had nice rides coming into the meeting and you don’t expect them all to win. This guy [Casa Rochester] had an awkward barrier [eight] but he was aided by a frantic speed and I did think he would be a better horse ridden to hit the line and it proved right,” said Bowman, who boosted his haul for the season to 56 wins, a tally bettered only by Zac Purton’s 88.  “I think he’s still pretty immature and lacks strength, he might have more in store.  “Stellar Swift was courageous over 1400 metres last time and I think David [Hayes] made a huge judgement call to come back to 1200 metres and it proved to be right. He travelled beautifully throughout, there was a bit of traffic to contend with but when I needed him to lift, he did it for me.”  Four-year-old Harmony Galaxy had six starts in Brazil as Empire Of The Nile, twice finishing third at local Group 1 level and transferred to Hong Kong on a mark of 68 and snared three minor placings before striking tonight as a 55-rater.  “Harmony Galaxy has been a work in progress, he needs to relax to produce his best and I was a bit worried going past the post for the first time that he wasn’t settling for me but then the pace increased and he got into a really beautiful rhythm,” Bowman said.  “I thought he got to the front with a bit in hand and he floated a bit and waited so, again, he’s still got more up his sleeve but it was great to win for him and the connections.”  Colourful King (Blue Point) continued his sharp rise with an electrifying sprint under Andrea Atzeni to land the Class 3 Hong Kong China Rugby Cup Handicap (1000m) for David Eustace.  “He was impressive today. The race looked like it was going to set up well for him as they were clearly going to go pretty quick up front which would certainly help. But having said that, he won with authority,” Eustace said.  “We were confident he would improve. This was only his third start and he trained on really nicely, so we came here hopeful.”  With two wins from three starts, the Blue Point (Shamardal) gelding’s only unplaced run came on debut at Sha Tin on February 16.  “His first run down the straight at Sha Tin certainly had merit and that was only his first start. I think we would get 1200 metres but I certainly wouldn’t want to rush there either so I’d like to keep him to 1000 metres if we could,” said Eustace, who trained a treble at Sha Tin last Sunday.   Flying Fortress (Shamexpress) benefited from a brilliant Harry Bentley ride to win the Class 3 Mong Kok Handicap (1650m) for Cody Mo, as the Michael Chang-trained Sovereign Fund (Capitalist) prevailed in the first section of the Class 4 King’s Park Handicap (1200m) under Karis Teetan.  The Caspar Fownes-trained Verbier (Toronado) broke through at his 14th start, leading all the way for Luke Ferraris to land the Class 5 Yau Ma Tei Handicap (1650m) before Dennis Yip’s Northern Fire Ball (Sooboog) won the third section of the Class 4 King’s Park Handicap (1200m) for Jerry Chau. A son of Sooboog (Snitzel), the three-year-old improved his record to two wins and two minor placings from nine starts.  Hong Kong International Sale graduate Golden Empire (Fastnet Rock) posted his seventh victory from 38 starts under Keagan De Melo for Francis Lui to take his earnings to HK$8.67 million (approx. AU$1.79 million) with a defiant front-running display.  Hong Kong racing continues at Sha Tin on Sunday. We use cookies to improve your online experience.

Moore and Size combined with Golden Rise (Written Tycoon) and Beauty Alliance (Starcraft), leaving Moore with four wins and five placings from 26 rides across a three-meeting cameo, while Size vaulted to the top of the trainers’ standings with 36 wins for the campaign – the same as David Hayes – but with more minor placings. Having struck with a brace at Happy Valley last Wednesday, Moore endured a frustrating meeting at Sha Tin on Sunday with three minor placings from nine rides but the jockey rebounded in familiar fashion tonight. “I’m very grateful to come here and for all the support I’ve had. I’ve had a few disappointments but that’s Hong Kong, but I’m thankful for the support I’ve had here and hopefully I can come back soon,” Moore said. “It’s always great to come here and it’s been a good trip.” Moore and Size struck first with Golden Rise’s narrow win over Prime Mortar (Winning Rupert) in the Class 4 Kwoon Chung Macau Limousine Rental Services Handicap (1200m) before Beauty Alliance’s triumph in the Class 4 Kwoon Chung Inclusive & Accessible Service Handicap (1800m). Harry Bentley matched British compatriot Moore’s feat with a brace, striking with Excellence Value (Fastnet Rock) and Romantic Son (Smart Missile). Bentley’s strength was pivotal to Romantic Son’s success in the Class 3 Kwoon Chung Bus 60th Anniversary Cup Handicap (1200m) as the Hayes-trained gelding emerged with a nose victory over Beauty Infinity (Toronado) to earn a PP Bonus of HK$1.5 million. Mark Newnham’s Excellence Value earned a PP Bonus of HK$1.5 million with victory in the Class 3 Trans-Island Chinalink Handicap (1650m). Formerly known as Diabelli when trained in Australia by James Cummings, the Fastnet Rock (Danehill) gelding was having only his fourth start in Hong Kong. “I think barrier one helped him. He had the fence to follow the whole way and it opened up nicely once he turned in [to the straight] and he did the rest,” Newnham said. “Apart from his first start where he just didn’t really compete at all, each of his runs have been good. He’s a nice, tough, consistent horse and he should have a good future here.” Newnham boosted his tally of wins for the season to 30 when Alexis Badel drove Spicy Gold (So You Think) to victory in the Class 3 New Lantao Bus Handicap (1200m). Hugh Bowman also slotted a double with Sky Vino (Vino Rosso), who won the Class 4 Sichuan Bipenggou Tourist Attractions Handicap (1650m) for Caspar Fownes, and Manfred Man’s Dragon Four Seas (Shooting To Win), who led all the way to land the Class 4 KC Smart Mobility Handicap (1200m), posting his second win in Hong Kong. Declan McDonogh notched his first Hong Kong win with Nice Birdie’s (Kodiac) success for Danny Shum in the Class 5 Kwoon Chung Motors Handicap (2200m). The 2006 Irish Champion Flat Jockey, McDonogh was elated to add to a career tally of more than 1,200 winners globally. “It was great, I had a lovely run around. I never had to spend a penny,” McDonogh said of the Hong Kong International Sale (HKIS) graduate’s run. “The horse was good and genuine in the finish. “I had the run of the race. I had momentum turning in and I thought he kicked quite well in the straight and he did well to fight off the horse (Super Hong Kong) on the outside. It’s a pleasure to tick another one off the box and have my first winner in Hong Kong. I’m chuffed about that.” Angus Chung posted his first win since suffering a facial fracture in a race fall at Sha Tin on 9 February by piloting Jimmy Ting-trained Harmony N Home (Slade Power) to victory in the Class 4 Intercontinental Limousine Handicap (1200m). “It reminded me of how to win a race because the first meeting back [Sunday, 2 March], I was still a bit nervous and had some memories of the accident,” Chung said. “Hopefully I can keep this feeling from tonight and keep on going.” Winner of last season’s Tony Cruz Award as the leading homegrown jockey, Chung partnered Harmony N Home – another HKIS graduate – to his fifth Hong Kong win and his third course and distance triumph. Hong Kong racing continues at Sha Tin on Sunday.
