SOLD: Architectural marvel finds new Sydney owner
The architectural marvel known as Triptych has been sold, following a busy campaign.
The 100-acre property at No.67 and 75 Grooms Hill Rd, Koonya, was sold for one of the highest prices for a Tasmanian home this year.
The exact figure is undisclosed.

The Agency Hobart property partner Georgie Rayner said she was blown away by the 'outstanding result'.
'It was purchased by a Sydney-based buyer with international connections,' she said.
'I'm excited for both parties, and equally so for Tasmania.
'A property of such high quality in every way — something so extraordinary — it brought a lot of exposure to our state.
'People are looking for special properties in Tasmania. They want to buy here.
'With everything happening in the world at the moment, there seems to be a greater appreciation for all that Tasmania offers.
'People are not necessarily looking for a return on their investment, but rather the ultimate in escapism; and they are looking at our beautiful island.
'It's for their children and their own legacy.'

The campaign, in collaboration with Sotheby's Sydney, reached every corner of the world, including more than a few 3am email inquiries from expats.
'I organised some FaceTime calls with people from overseas while on the property,' Ms Rayner said.
'There was a lot of interest from mainland-based buyers and local Tassie buyers, too. Some already live on the Tasman Peninsula and others from Hobart.
'Triptych grabbed the attention of people who are looking for something truly unique, private and beyond compare.'
Triptych represents a bold architectural collaboration between award-winning firm Room 11 and property owner Jonathan Kneebone.
This innovative property seamlessly blends cutting-edge design with Tasmania's stunning natural landscape, creating an immersive living experience.
Featured on Grand Designs Australia and numerous magazine covers, the property consists of two distinct residences across separate 50-acre titles.
The Blunt House serves as a floating architectural masterpiece, offering sophisticated accommodation with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, strategically positioned to maximise the spectacular surroundings.
Contrasting dramatically, The Glass House emphasises transparency and landscape integration, featuring a bedroom with ensuite while maintaining complete privacy through thoughtful design.
The estate includes a third structure called The Folly, specifically conceived as an experiential architectural element within the broader landscape composition.

2025 Cupra Terramar price and specs
The Cupra Terramar mid-size SUV has officially landed in Australia, with petrol and mild-hybrid power available at launch and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version not too far behind.

Rate cut highly likely, consumer stocks lead bourse following record high
Investors have made hay on the Australian sharemarket following Wednesday's record high, cashing out and pushing the bourse down on Thursday. The ASX200 remained in uncharted territory above 8800 points though, closing for a daily loss of 12.3 points or 0.14 per cent at 8831.4. The broader All Ords lost 0.1 per cent to 9102 points while the Aussie dollar lifted above US65 cents, hitting 65.22 cents. Red numbers flashed for six of the ASX's 10 largest health care stocks, dragging the sector to be the weakest performer with a 1.2 per cent loss. Behemoth CSL lost 1.5 per cent (at $265.53) while Resmed and TELIX Pharmaceuticals lost 2 per cent each as well. Reusable pallets and crates firm Brambles flattened out following its all-time high in July, shedding 3.3 per cent (at $23.31) to be among the main backsliders on the industrials sector, which as a whole lost ground. Across the board, five of 11 sectors were in the red. With a reduction in the cash rate next Tuesday looking certain, markets are split on whether it will be a 0.25 or 0.5 point cut. Home Loan Experts chief executive Otto Dargan says the RBA is teetering toward hard landing territory. 'The global bond markets are already pricing in emergency cuts, and with the equity crash in early April rattling confidence, the RBA has no choice but to get ahead of the curve,' Mr Dargan said. 'This isn't about inflation anymore, it's about restoring stability and avoiding a credit crunch. 'Borrowing power is still strangled, buyers have equity but can't service, and the RBA knows a slow response now risks turning a soft landing into a hard one.' Real estate stocks were a key driver for the record high ASX200 close on Wednesday, and the sector was locked and loaded, Mr Dargan said. 'If there is another (interest rate) hold, it'll be for optics, but rate cuts are coming before Christmas. The real story is how quickly lenders will pass these on to borrowers, and how that will ignite property markets already itching for a rebound.' Expectations of rate cuts buoyed consumer stocks to make major gains on Thursday. JB Hi-Fi added 1.8 per cent (at $116.41) and is 74 per cent up over the past year. Heavyweights Aristocrat Leisure (up 1.5 per cent at $71.38) and Eagers Automotive (up 2.2 per cent at $20.60) pulled the discretionaries sector deep into the green on the day. The sector's seven most valuable stocks are all well into double digit gains across the past 12 months. Wesfarmers was in on the act, with this week's gains pushing the company above $100bn market cap, joining the big four and CSL as 'hectocorns'. There were serious rumblings for sharemarket operator ASX Ltd, as its price sank 8.6 per cent to $64.22. US competitor CBOE is pushing to conduct sharemarket listings of companies in Australia.

Closing Bell: ASX holds ground near all-time high as defence stocks soar
ASX slips just 12.3 points, remaining near all-time high Healthcare leads losses as Trump raises tariff spectre Gains in gold and consumer discretionary soften losses Profit takers stay their hands When markets hit new closing highs, it's common for traders to see it as an opportunity to capitalise on gains. Stocks are – theoretically – at their highest. What better time to cash in? While the ASX 200 fell 0.14% today, the bulls are looking very much in control. Losses were limited to a small 12.3-point loss, a sniff in the wind compared to the almost 200 points the market has gained in just three days. That's not to say we won't see a bigger dip tomorrow – volatility is the name of the game these days, and Trump is continuing to fan the flames with another tariff hit on India just yesterday. As for today, six of 11 sectors were down with particular weakness in healthcare stocks. Materials slid marginally lower but gains in gold stocks and the consumer discretionary sector stemmed the bleeding. Healthcare and defence stocks move in opposite directions Trump's recent comments that big tariffs are on the horizon for the industry are likely playing a part in healthcare's woes today. "In one year, one and a half years maximum, it's going to go to 150% and then it's going to go to 250% because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country," the US President told CNBC in an interview. Clarity Pharmaceuticals (ASX:CU6) fell 5.8%, Tetratherix (ASX:TTX) 6.2% and PYC Therapeutics (ASX:PYC) 4.6%. Health small cap IDT Australia (ASX:IDT) plunged 17.8% after the abrupt resignation of its CEO with immediate effect. The company's net losses are also increasing, up 38% to $7.5m year-on-year. Management says the losses are due to one-off bad debts and expenses related to new contracts. Moving against the tide, Imricor Medical Systems (ASX:IMR) added 8.7%. Perhaps a little ironically considering healthcare's losses, two defence industry stocks were among the biggest upward movers today. Unmanned drone (UAV) firm Elsight (ASX:ELS) added 10.9% alongside remote weapon system specialist Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS), which climbed 9.3%. Outside of the weapons and armament subsector, SKS Technologies (ASX:SKS) lifted 8.1% after exceeding profit guidance by more than 15% for FY25 last week. Tolling and service provider EROAD (ASX:ERD) also continued its hike, soaring 31.6% and up a whopping 99% for the year to date. All in all, it's been a solid week for the ASX so far, up more than 1% over the past five trading days. ASX rival Cboe muscles in on Aussie share market The Australian Securities Exchange itself finished out the day a full 8.6% lower. A one-two punch of self-inflicted blunders and rising competition set the bourse operator reeling. Yesterday's mix-up with TPG Telecom and TPG Capital was bad enough, but today ASIC flagged it was in the final stages of consideration for a listing market application for Cboe Australia. The subsidiary of Cboe Global Markets is looking to end the ASX's monopoly on Aussie stock listings, and ASIC seems to be in full support. The company already accounts for about 20% or $1.5 billion of our total equity trading volume as a trading market operator. ASIC chair Joe Longo said that Australian capital markets are facing intensifying global competition for capital and listings but remain healthy and hale. 'As superannuation funds grow and investors seek opportunities, our actions will help keep our markets efficient, innovative and attractive, supporting economic growth for all Australians,' he said. Perhaps it won't be too much longer until we're tracking multiple share markets here on the daily wrap. Yay?

The company also expanded its annual contract value (an indication of potential future revenue) by 10% to $17.6m. The growth was based on a 35% expansion in site numbers, lifting from 547 in June 2024 to 740 sites this year following a strategic restructure of EPX's sales sector. Augmented reality training provider XReality Group (ASX:XRG) has locked in two new contracts for its Operator XR AI training solution. The first contract comes in the form of a merit-based grant with the Australian government's Industry Growth Program. The government is offering $2.1m over 24 months, with the goal of accelerating XRG's virtual reality training offering. The second is the largest order for Operator XR's OP-2 systems to date. XRG inked the deal with the Texas Department of Public Safety for a five-year period. The initial order is valued at $4.3m, with a $1.4m option for additional support services down the track. Sustainable packaging specialist Papyrus Australia (ASX:PPY) is moving into the next stage of commercialisation and product development, appointing Daniel Schmidt as its new CEO. The company recently completed a successful trial of new banana fibre-based boards and flat paper products in response to commercial interest, and fired up its Rapid Prototyping & R&D Facility in partnership with the University of South Australia.
