Bringing home your baby can be daunting, but for Kady Tonkin and her husband John Maksimovic of Tweed Heads it was three times the fun. When triplets Tennessee, Aurillius and Star-Bella arrived earlier this year, Joanne Bacon and The Family Centre were there to lend a hand. The centre provides support through a volunteer home vis- iting service where new mums are matched to volunteers who have raised their children in similar situations. Having 12-year-old triplets of her own, Joanne (Jo) was perfect for the role and the two women are now good friends. ‘Everything is so much hard- er with three, Jo understands,’ Kady said. ‘We just talk,’ Jo said. ‘You can drive yourself crazy with Joanne Bacon’s big triplets Josh (holding Tennessee), Sarah three babies.

McTavish launches book at Surfstock Rainbows win in the rain

This photo taken in 1965 is from legendary surfer and shaper Bob McTavish’s book which he will launch during the Kirra SurfStock Festival in November. The man who created the shortboard revolution, redesigned the V-bottom and was the innovator of the Fantastic Plastic Machine, will appear at Kirra Surf retail store on Friday November 6 at 4pm for the launch and signing. McTavish will then follow on to the KirraSurf Club as a special guest for the Friday night Surf- rider Foundation.
