What a relief the National Library of Australia's archive portal TROVE has just been rescued with $33million in Federal funding before it was due to be closed in June. We have spent hundreds of hours on TROVE researching historical articles for the upcoming Sir Bruce Small biography, of the more than 100,000 mentions of Sir Bruce, his bicycle brand Malvern Star and his cycling champion he managed, the great Sir Hubert 'Oppy' Opperman. It would be a much thinner book without TROVE!

Keeping up to date with industry standards and upskilling is always a challenge but soooo rewarding. Really enjoyed attending the Small Press Network's 2022 Independent Publishing Conference on the weekend, covering e-books, audio books, bookselling and libraries and the dreaded Metadata!! Going to be a great new year to put all this to use ...

Great community club and great team, proud to be supporting the Eagles again in 2020!

30/10/2019

Enjoyed putting together this clip for Joey at Ultimate Sports Performance as he put some of the Gold Coast Suns top players through their paces at his gym and training pit late last week. Top training, best sports strength and conditioning master around – great to have someone like him on the Gold Coast helping elite athletes reach even higher places in their career.

IT’S the AFL off-season but the Gold Coast Suns players are using the scheduled down time to find a way to lift themselves off the foot of the ladder.

Getting behind this amazing club this Saturday!

AS MANY OF YOU KNOW we had a significant theft incident a few nights back at our clubhouse, with our balustrade handrail going walkabouts - so we're holding a big CAR WASH FOR A CAUSE event this Saturday to raise money to assist the club with clubhouse repairs and works.

We'd love it if you could not only share this and invite the town down to help us out but also come along yourself with your car and get a hand wash from our fantastic volunteer crew and some of our Eagles players. Please help us get our facilities up to scratch for the upcoming Pan Pacific Games and 2019 season ahead.

Nerang Eagles is a community-based non profit club established in Nerang in 1972, and we are also the largest team-sport club in Nerang, looking after many hundreds of junior players, senior players and supporters each year - making soccer available and affordable to all.

8am to 12pm Sat Sept 1st 2018
In our car park, at Nerang Soccer Club, Recreation Drive NERANG

$15 - Deluxe Hand Car Wash
$20 - Deluxe Hand Car Wash + Sizzling Bacon & Egg Roll + Hot Barista Coffee

Hope to see you there and thanks for all the support and shares and offers of help over the last few days, we are truly humbled and thankful for having such a great community.

Sir Bruce Small

Our intrepid and dedicated all-round media champion Rachel Syers on the TV news last night, defending the legacy of Sir Bruce Small. Rachel is currently wrapping up the final chapter of her expansive book project - the official biography revealing the life of Sir Bruce - Mr Gold Coast and the former Mayor of the city. The writing of the book itself has been a journey of monumental proportions. We look forward to seeing his incredible story, life and legacy retold and celebrated by this much anticipated production.

7 News: Ghost Tour Company Withdraws Sir Bruce Slur - Great to see so many Gold Coasters rally behind the memory and legacy of Sir Bruce Small after a local ghost tour company made false claims about this true gentleman and Gold Coast icon. Thanks to Seven Gold Coast News and the Gold Coast Bulletin for bringing this issue to the community and supporting the Small family to have the company remove its disrespectful content.

Cracking shot taken by Coral Sea Media's lensman Luke Sorensen of last weekend's surf at South Stradbroke Island on the cover of today's Gold Coast Bulletin! When it comes to the Gold Coast coastline there aren't too many angles that Luke hasn't covered or captured before.

Some major congestion southbound on the M1 this morning from just before the Bermuda St exit all the way back towards Mudgeeraba.

This pink car got jammed on the front of a truck at around 7:25am and was trapped sideways for about 500 metres until they came to a stop. Frightening stuff, but all involved were reported to be uninjured.

Our mate Jade who took this shot told us, "The truck driver was in tears but the lady in the car was more worried about the insurance company covering her plane ticket as she missed her flight from Coolangatta."

Jade stayed on to help the driver put out witch's hat markers and keep everyone safe.

"Poor bloke has been professional driver for 28 years and this is the first major crash he's ever been involved in. He was so shocked - shaking and in tears," he told us.

Good on you Jade, you're a legend!

Overturned car on the Pappas Way exit southbound on M1 in Nerang, shots of a man looking through the rear window for the driver's young daughter still trapped in the vehicle, and then they got her out, reunited with dad. Plenty of people there to help and emergency services on the way. Hope everyone is ok ... good shots Rach!

Queensland’s Grantham Flood Aftermath – Six Years On – Gallery

Six years on, Coral Sea Media's Luke Sorensen has finally chosen to publish his images from the devastating 2011 flood aftermath at Grantham. His story and images are both sombre and amazing.

Most of these images have never been published or seen. A little over 48 hours after the horrific wall of water crashed through Grantham and surrounding areas on January 10th 2011, the township remained closed to all outsiders as authorities, police, volunteers and the military searched for bodies i...

The Coral Sea Team was very relieved to hear late yesterday that our own Rachel Syers was safe and sound in Melbourne having been in the city and not far from Bourke Street at the time of yesterday's terrible incident.

A fateful decision to get off the train one stop short of the Flinders St Station and take the long way through the park meant Rachel and her son Casey were one street away at the time. Their original plan would have placed them right in the area at the time of the incident - right in the mall!

Rachel (her photos are posted here) then went about the very delicate and sensitive task of interviewing witnesses in her role as a special correspondent for a national magazine - a very difficult and emotional task for all involved.

We're glad to have you back home in Queensland today Rachel, but of course our thoughts now turn to the many victims of this incident, their families and friends who all have a very long road ahead with their grief and recovery.
