2019 Lifeline Classic Wrap Up
Seventeen teams raised more than $60,000 in the Lifeline Classic at Queenscliff Beach on Sunday, with the Lifeline Legends (Northern Beaches Uniting Church) winning both the surfing final and the fundraising.
Lifeline Northern Beaches CEO, David Thomas, said he feels the event has now ‘arrived’ on the Northern Beaches. “The future is promising with the Lifeline Classic now being recognised as an important community event on the local calendar,” he said.
“The success of the event was evident in the strong community support, both in the lead-up and on the day, that helped to raise a record amount to assist those in crisis. Great community spirit, great fundraising, great surfing and great banter were the order of the day.
“Thanks go out to everyone who helped make the event a success, particularly the fundraising teams and the pro surfers who donated their time on the day, and legend Simon Anderson who competed and also donated two boards,” Thomas said.
North Narrabeen’s Cooper Chapman, who is an ambassador for Lifeline, was the star professional surfer for the winning Lifeline Legends.
“It was awesome to see the community get down to the event. I’m so proud of everyone for getting together and raising money for Lifeline,” Chapman said.
“As I’m known as a World Tour surfer I’m hoping to inspire other people with a profile to stand up and speak about things that are important,” he said. “The more people talk about mental health the better, as mental health doesn’t discriminate.”
Other top surfers who donated their time to compete included Dayyan Neve, Jared Hickel, Winter Vincent and Sophie Fletcher.
Mental health organisations including Batyr, Walk ‘n’ Talk, and Man Anchor combined to support this year’s Lifeline Classic.
“The vision has always been for this to be a festival rather than a simple surfing contest,” David Thomas said.
“The focus is on community involvement in an effort to help those in crisis, and those affected by those in crisis, and this year that festival feel really took shape with the involvement of other mental health service providers,” he said.
Besides the Lifeline Legends, the fundraising teams included Surfing Mums, Man Anchor, Swellnet, Meditation for Men, Christian Surfers Youth, CMS Surveyors, Manly Surf School, ICMS Surf Club, NAICHE, Sutton, QBC Girls, Narrabeen Sports High (Boys and Girls), Balgowlah Boys Campus, Manly Wine. Two school teams had entered the Lifeline Classic via the Lifeline Schools Challenge, which was held as part of the recent Vissla Sydney Surf Pro at Manly Beach.
Swellnet’s Tom Myers was a standout in the final with 23.03 points, the highest two-wave score of the day, which included a nine-point power wave.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Victoria (abbreviated as Vic) is a state in south-eastern Australia. Victoria is Australia's most densely populated state and its second-most populous state overall. Most of its population lives concentrated in the area surrounding Port Phillip Bay, which includes the metropolitan area of its state capital and largest city, Melbourne, Australia's second-largest city. Geographically the smallest state on the Australian mainland, Victoria is bordered by Bass Strait and Tasmania to the south,New South Wales to the north, the Tasman Sea to the east, and South Australia to the west.
The area that is now known as Victoria is the home of many Aboriginal people groups, including the Boon wurrung, the Bratauolung, the Djadjawurrung, the Gunai, the Gunditjmara, the Taungurong, the Wathaurong, the Wurundjeri, and the Yorta Yorta. There were more than 30 Aboriginal languages spoken in the area prior to the European settlement of Australia. The Kulin nation is an alliance of five Aboriginal nations which makes up much of the central part of the state.With Great Britain having claimed the entire Australian continent east of the 135th meridian east in 1788, Victoria formed part of the wider colony of New South Wales. The first European settlement in the area occurred in 1803 at Sullivan Bay, and much of what is now Victoria was included in 1836 in the Port Phillip District, an administrative division of New South Wales. Named in honour of Queen Victoria, who signed the division's separation from New South Wales, the colony was officially established in 1851 and achieved self government in 1855.
The Victorian gold rush in the 1850s and 1860s significantly increased both the population and wealth of the colony, and by the time of the Federation of Australia in 1901, Melbourne had become the largest city and leading financial centre in Australasia. Melbourne served as federal capital of Australia until the construction of Canberra in 1927, with the Federal Parliament meeting in Melbourne's Parliament House and all principal offices of the federal government being based in Melbourne.
Politically, Victoria has 37 seats in the Australian House of Representatives and 12 seats in the Australian Senate. At state level, the Parliament of Victoria consists of the Legislative Assembly (the lower house) and the Legislative Council (the upper house). The Labor Party led Daniel Andrews as premier has governed Victoria since 2014. The personal representative of the Queen of Australia in the state is the Governor of Victoria, currently Linda Dessau (in office since 2015). Victoria is divided into 79 municipal districts, including 33 cities, although a number of unincorporated areas still exist, which the state administers directly.
The economy of Victoria is highly diversified, with service sectors including financial and property services, health, education, wholesale, retail, hospitality and manufacturing constitute the majority of employment. Victoria's total gross state product (GSP) ranks second in Australia, although Victoria ranks fourth in terms of GSP per capita because of its limited mining activity. Culturally, Melbourne hosts a number of museums, art galleries, and theatres, and is also described as the world's sporting capital. The Melbourne Cricket Ground, the largest stadium in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere, hosted the 1956 Summer Olympics and the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The ground is also considered the spiritual home of Australian cricket and Australian rules football, and hosts the grand final of the Australian Football League (AFL) each year, drawing crowds of approximately 100,000. Victoria has eight public universities, with the oldest, the University of Melbourne, dating from 1853.
