Golf tragics will find this tee-rrific

Golf tragics might want to check out a family home in Lane Cove that has its own private putting green and is adjacent to Lane Cove golf course.
Number 13 Delta Rd is a five-bedroom architecturally designed house transformed by builder Brodie McMahon of Straw Stick Brick Construction Management.
Brodie made sure his new house sat with the trees and was private but also allowed in lots of light.
'Two windows bring into the house two magnificent gum trees and we watch them year round as they change dramatically with the seasons,' he said.
There are two floors of living space, vaulted ceilings, two bedrooms with their own bathrooms and a gourmet gas kitchen.
It would suit multigenerational families.
Meanwhile, the house is at the end of a cul-de-sac and moments from the nine-hole golf course and the new sports centre and clubhouse that the club is building.
A small putting green in the house's back garden helps keep the putting average below par.
This large home goes to auction on July 30 through Belle Property Lindfield and has a guide of $4.5m.

Cult Western Suburbs chicken chain opens in Sydney's East

Western Sydney's cult-favourite charcoal chicken institution, El Jannah, has officially landed in the Eastern Suburbs. The iconic Western Suburbs institution, which launched in Granville in 1998, is famous for its mouth-watering chicken and legendary garlic sauce. It has now opened its first store in the city's east, with the Randwick location on Belmore Road celebrating its grand opening on Saturday. To mark the milestone, anyone with the name Charlie (or any variation – Charles, Charlotte, Charlene, etc.) eats for free, provided they bring ID. For everyone else, their famous quarter chicken meal (with chips, garlic sauce and a drink) is just $5. Videos posted on the business's social media show huge lines snaking around the block, as families, couples, friends and singles waited their turn to get their hands on the famous chicken. The foodie corner of the internet has lit up with excitement and rave reviews. DJ Mistah Cee posted on TikTok that he was excited about the 'greatest chicken known to man' coming to the East. Meanwhile, Miss Double Bay, a local influencer, told her followers: 'El Jannah has infiltrated the East, nature is healing'. Other customers called it 'the best' and the chicken 'juicy'. The Randwick outpost will offer the full menu, including their famous falafels, pickles, fresh rolls and tabouli. 'Opening in Randwick is a milestone moment for us and a reflection of Sydney's ever-growing love for charcoal chicken,' said Adam Issa, Head of Marketing at El Jannah. 'What began as a single family-run store has grown by keeping true to our founding principles; serving honest food, made with care, and shared with community.' The store was founded by Lebanese immigrants Andre and Carole Estephan, who waited 11 years until they opened a second store in Punchbowl. Now, El Jannah is a huge franchise with over 40 locations across New South Wales and Victoria. The Randwick opening has redrawn the city's 'Red Rooster Line' – an online theory that if you plot Red Rooster locations across Sydney, a boundary emerges between the city's north east from the south west. It's also known colloquially as the Latte Line, the Colorbond Fence and the Quinoa Curtain. Honi Soit expanded on the idea when they said it wasn't just Red Rooster that defined Sydney geography, but other chains that also helped shape the city's boundaries. El Jannah's Randwick store is the sixth outpost to cross the Red Rooster Line.

Defence, Foreign Ministers sign new 50-year UK-Australia ‘Geelong Treaty' military pact

Defence and Foreign Ministers from the United Kingdom and Australia have signed a new 50-year military pact designed to underpin Australia's acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines. The deal was signed in Geelong on Saturday, the hometown of Australia's Defence Minister, and dubbed 'The Geelong Treaty'. Officials from Australia and the UK have been forced to voice renewed enthusiasm for the AUKUS agreement, amid a US review of the deal. America's defence and foreign minister-equivalents have not been part of AUKUS meetings in Australia this week. Donald Trump and UK Prime Minster Keir Starmer and expected to meet in Scotland this week. At Geelong on Saturday, Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles said the new pact meant jobs and military security. 'It's a treaty which will last for 50 years,' Mr Marles said during a signing ceremony with his UK counterpart. 'It is a bilateral treaty which sits under the trilateral AUKUS framework, itself embodied in a trilateral treaty that was signed that I signed in Washington, DC., in August of last year. 'In doing this, AUKUS will see 20,000 jobs in Australia. It will see, in building submarines in this country, the biggest industrial endeavour in our nation's history, bigger even than the Snowy Hydro scheme,' Mr Marles said. 'In military terms, what it will deliver is the biggest leap in Australia's military capability, really, since the formation of the navy back in 1913.' Alongside Mr Marles, UK Secretary of State for Defence John Healey dubbed the Geelong Treaty a powerful agreement. 'It is a treaty that will support tens of thousands of jobs in both Australia and the UK,' Mr Healey said. 'It is a treaty to build the most advanced, most powerful attack submarines either of our nations have ever had. It is a treaty that will fortify the Indo-Pacific. 'It will strengthen NATO and we're the politicians signing it today; But this is a treaty that will define the relationship between our two nations and safeguard the security of our country for our children and our children's children to come. 'So this is a historic day.' The two ministers have been joined in a series of meetings by Foreign Minster Penny Wong and UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy this week. The treaty signing also comes as the largest British flotilla in 30 years arrives in Darwin, with the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier docking in Darwin on Wednesday. It was the first time a British aircraft carrier visited Australia since 1997, and brought troops to take part in the massive Talisman Sabre exercises, which run annually across northern Queensland and PNG.

Benalla workers worried about job losses as ForestOne scales back operations

A north-east Victorian community has raised concerns about the partial closure of a wood supplier's local manufacturing site with "significant" job losses flagged. ForestOne, a major employer in the area, announced on Friday it would close its dry sawmill and particleboard manufacturing operations in Benalla. Local media reported an employee had said there would be 140 job losses, but the company told the ABC there would be "much, much less than that". The company would not say how many jobs were expected to be lost because it was confidential information and they were still "working through that". The company has not said when the closure would occur at the site, which has 150 employees. Bakery manager Andrew Bertallis said the partial closure would have flow-on effects for local businesses. "It is huge dollars out of the community each week," he said. "It is going to affect everyone in Benalla." Local butcher Paul Rettke said it was a tough development for the community. "There is going to be people that you know that are out of work," he said. "Family people with mortgages with kids to feed. "We have got a few customers that work out there. [They] have been there for a long time, a lot of them. You are talking 20-plus years." ForestOne managing director Ian Fankhanel said in a statement that increased manufacturing and external costs had "made it unviable at the present time to continue making particleboard and drying timber". "Additionally, we face ever-increasing governmental and compliance costs to do business," he said. The company said it would continue to run its green sawmill manufacturing and lamination line. "We continue to face weak market conditions and, unfortunately, the outlook is still very poor," Mr Fankhanel said. "The prices being sold at in the market are some of the lowest we have seen in 20 years, with no significant lift in demand on the horizon." The company said 80 per cent of Benalla products were sold into Victoria due to high freight costs to transport interstate. "We hope that, in the future, if and when demand returns, we can recommence full production again." The ABC has contacted the CFMEU's Manufacturing Division, which represents the facility's workers, for comment. Nationals Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland said it was a tough time for the Benalla community. "I think it is just heartbreaking what we are hearing ... of so many jobs being made redundant and axed during a cost-of-living crisis," she said. Ms Cleeland said the number one issue she would raise in parliament next week was how to support regional businesses in Victoria. A Victorian government spokesperson said the government knew it was a difficult time for workers, their families and the broader community. "Regional Development Victoria is working with ForestOne, Benalla Rural City Council and Workforce Australia to support the transition of impacted workers and to understand the broader economic and social impacts arising from this decision," the spokesperson said. "We continue to support businesses across Victoria. "We have cut or abolished taxes 65 times and we are continuing to remove the red tape that holds many businesses back." The Victorian Forest Products Association is the peak body for the state's wood fibre industry. Chief executive Andrew White said the state's timber industry was feeling the effects of a depressed housing market. "We are seeing build times for houses have blown out from around six months to 10 months," he said. "Whilst there might be more homes being started, they are not being completed as quickly. "It means there is an impact on those suppliers."
