introduction from
the principal
Passionate about real estate and an esteemed sales veteran,
it is no wonder James Snodgrass is one of the most successful
real estate agents on the North Shore. He lives and breathes
real estate and his passion shows in everything he does. In
fact, real estate is in James’ blood – his great grandfather
Robert Todd Forsyth founded RT Forsyth over 115 years ago.
Before returning to take over the helm of Forsyth Real Estate,
James was a member of the Army Special Forces, Commando
Battalion. He then became the youngest Australian Associate
Director of one of the largest commercial real estate firms in
the world.
Bringing buyers and sellers together is what James does best.
He makes an effort to really know the clients he is working for
and draws on his extensive real estate expertise in advising
them on all aspects of the sale of their home. Property owners
who choose Forsyth to sell their home receive outstanding
service and superior real estate marketing. As James explains
>
"At Forsyth we pride ourselves on
personalised service and being
accessible to every property
owner. At the same time we are
totally committed to achieving
the best possible result for every
owner on every property we
sell. Our longevity is proof of
our ability to achieve excellent
results.

Think Sydney
Real Estate.
Think Forsyth.
“We know how to highlight the best features of a vendor’s home”.
James is energetic, thorough and dedicated, always working to
advance his clients’ interests and achieve the maximum possible
price for their property. The majority of his listings come from
referrals, something which makes James particularly proud,
“I have developed strong relationships with clients over the
years and in some cases have sold clients’ second and third
homes”.
The longevity, professionalism and integrity of our firm has
seen many clients stipulating in their wills that the home is to
be sold through Forsyth. These people have valued our service
over the last 100 years and we see a commitment like this very
rewarding and rare.
James has an enviable reputation in the sale of North Shore real
estate and a record of achievement which is second to none.
Having James Snodgrass working for you will make all the
difference in the sale of your home.
Forsyth has been selling real estate Sydney’s North Shore for
over 100 years, and we’re proud of our reputation for professional
advice, ethical dealings, excellent service and great results.
Since the agency was established in 1898, Forsyth has been a
leader in the way real estate is sold. We were one of the founding
members of the Real Estate Institute, and continue to promote
training, ethics and professionalism in the industry.
We have led the way in the introduction of technology, and we
have consistently achieved record results both through auction
marketing and private treaty sales. Above all, we have the local
knowledge to be able to accurately advise you on the potential
price of your property and the knowledge and commitment to
help you achieve that goal.

Reputation for Results.
Since our very first house sales and land auctions back in the
early 1900s, Forsyth has consistently set new records. Our
commitment to every client is to deliver the best possible price
for their property. This might be by auction or private treaty
sale, depending on the current market, the individual property
and the vendor’s preferences. Throughout the marketing of the
property, our agents remain dedicated to the task of finding the
right buyer at the right price, and the high level of referrals and
repeat business is recognition of the results we achieve.

The Posy
Supply Co
We sat down over a coffee with local denizen, Louise Reeves,
owner of the newly launched Posy Supply Co, and asked her
exactly what it is that she thinks makes Freshwater the pick
of the bunch.
When asked to describe the Northern Beaches in one word
Louise’s eyes light up. “Energetic”. As the walking embodiment
of her sentiment it’s not hard to see why. Louise is stylish and
positive and her enthusiasm contagious. A Northern Beaches
native, The Posy Supply Co was a venture inspired by her
desire to meet a gap in the market she discovered when trying
to send her girlfriends a day-brightening bunch of flowers-
one that moved away from the traditional, expensive and often
unimaginative options on offer.
Enter The Posy Supply Co, a local venture that reflects the
stylish, simple, relaxed approach the Northern Beaches is
known for. Fun, pretty and with an emphasis on “bang for your
buck” The Posy Supply Co lends itself to the underpinning
philosophy that beauty doesn’t need to be expensive or
complicated to be vibrant, stylish and unique.
Drawing on her background in weddings, interior design
and outdoor landscape styling, Louise’s unfussy, simple and
edgy bouquets punctuate and celebrate life’s big and little
moments alike. From workmates to clients, friends to family,
and everything in between The Posy Supply Co’s delivery route
stretches from Manly to Palmy – not a bad commute in the way
of scenery for her and her young team.
With both her home and workspace Freshwater based,
amidst beautiful surrounds and sandwiched between cafes,
restaurants and some of the world’s most picturesque
beaches, Louise’s affection for her neighbourhood is evident.

Citing summer as her most anticipated time of the year, and
an avid fan of being outdoors “whenever possible”, Louise
also acknowledges the easy accessibility to the city which is
handy for her early starts on her daily pilgrimage to the Sydney
Flower Markets.
Despite the somewhat ungodly hour she commences perusing
the flower markets before dawn this is her favourite part of
her day. Every morning is unique, and she enjoys drawing
creative inspiration from the colourful surrounds, diverse
customer base and eclectic buzz of patrons from all over
Sydney converging upon this vibrant space.
When she’s not working on her posies Louise can be found
eating out at Manly’s popular Mexican hotspot Chica Bonita
(great owners, great margaritas, and fast becoming
a Manly institution); or enjoying a quick break at the edgy
local café Cruise Espresso, known for their great coffee and
cool tunes. *

A life dedicated to exploring the intricacies and wonder of the
artistic world, while constantly developing his own unique and
wildly creative style, has led Matt Dampney to the position he
finds himself in today. It’s a journey that began in the rural,
dusty setting of Tamworth, NSW, where he was born in 1977.
But it was a move to Sydney in his formative years that really
helped shape the artist he has become.
Attending prestigious Barker College on Sydney’s upper North
Shore, Dampney developed a love for painting, drawing and
design. His graphic art background helped in developing his
own style. Simplistic line work and bold graphic colours bring
out the personalities of his subjects. From murals to live
skateboard art, book Illustrations to bespoke branding and
textiles to paintings, Matt has complete control over these
widely diverse disciplines.
In 2014, with his young family in tow, Dampney relocated to
Manly Beach to pursue painting fulltime.
To view Matt’s latest work he will holding a solo art show at
‘Kind Of’ Gallery in St Leonards 2-12 December 2015. *

With so many recognisable styles in today’s society it is hard
to know which style category your property might fall in to
– Midcentury, Coastal, Hamptons, Rustic, Contemporary,
Modern , Traditional. The list goes on, but one thing is certain
– styling a property for sale can make all the difference in
achieving a higher sale price.
With the current Northern Beaches style trend focusing on
coastal Hamptons, nothing compliments this style more than
fresh elements throughout all areas of your home. Styling can
be as simple as a textural leaf in bottle vase, a cluster of fresh
ripening pineapples or an impressive vase filled with tropical
palm fronds and ferns. Introducing these elements creates a
natural sense of freshness, complimenting the crisp lines and
natural hues of a coastal home.
With winter approaching fast, creating a warm and inviting
home should be at the forefront of your mind. Cozy nooks
with wing backed chairs, luxurious throws and beautiful linen
cushions,giveanyprospectivebuyerafeelingofhomelinessand
warmth. Colour palettes of stormy blue/grey, rich yellows and
emerald/garden greens bring the outside in to freshen up the
indoors and help connect the entire decorating theme.
Something not to be forgotten is that you are selling your home
and we think it is still important to remember that, you have
lived there and you want the buyers to feel at home as soon
as they walk into your property. Minimalist may be a popular
decorating trend that works in warehouse conversions and
more modern homes but when you are selling a family home
where your children have taken their first steps, swam their
first lap in the pool and played their first cricket match in the
garden you want to be able to relate this feeling of comfort
and homeliness to your potential buyers so they can visualise
themselves living in your home, sitting in front of the fireplace,
enjoying the pool or cooking up a storm in the kitchen
entertaining friends. The buyer you want is the one that has
already virtually moved in before they even make a bid. *

for
the love
of surf
Young, focused and undeniably gifted 25 year old Queenscliff
local Chris Eyre-Walker is the owner of local surf photography
business, SurfLove. After moving to the Northern Beaches in
2012 Chris hit his stride, combining his love for the surf with
his passion for photography, and he hasn’t looked back since.
Drawing inspiration from surf photography greats including
Jon Frank, Ray Collins and Chris Burkard, Chris constantly
challenges himself with assignments ranging from remote
hidden beaches to international pro surf comps; but credits the
Northern Beaches as one of his favourite shooting locations in
the world.
His talent is unquestionable, and his connection with
people and the ocean evident, however behind the beauty
and effortlessness of each image is a physically gruelling
and dangerous process - one that finds him constantly
pushing boundaries of what’s possible in order to capture the
perfect shot.
Surf photography is a fascinating and treacherous medium
where calculated risk meets inspired creativity. A successful
picturerequiresacombinationoffinelyattunedskillsoperating
in unison- physical demands, technical precision, choice of
location, composition, and simply staying out the way when
you need to! The challenges are constant and the art lies in
creating the perfect tension between all the elements, but
when the balance is right these components combine to create
a powerful synergy.
Chris explains: “Shooting surf doesn’t come without risk and
for many of my shots it means that I need to position myself
right on the edge of the impact zone ... The bigger the wave,
the greater the danger but at the same time the more
rewarding the results.” *

THE NOOK
Wholefoods
Pop into The Nook on any given day and you’re likely to find
bright-eyed barista, Alasdair, creating one of his caffeinated
masterpieces. Recently opened in the burgeoning suburb of
Elanora Heights The Nook is a joint venture between local
Carla Haining and her partner Adam Cummings, born of
their desire to nourish their patrons with beautiful raw foods,
ethically sourced coffee and local, organic produce.
With its overstuffed armchairs, recycled timber surfaces
(Adam’s handiwork), and polished concrete floors the space-
like the food- is simple, earthy and stylish. The staff are
approachable and friendly (although they take their coffee
seriously), and the environment relaxed. This venue is fast
becoming a local favourite and the result is edgy, playful

and honest organic wholefood, satisfying today’s growing
awareness and appreciation for the importance of maintaining
one’s overall health and wellbeing.
Both recent homeowners to the area the venue has also served
as a great opportunity for the couple to get to know their
new neighbourhood. “The people are lovely,” Carla smiles,
crediting Elanora’s laidback, unpretentious community feel to
a shared pursuit of an active lifestyle, their beautiful, relaxed
surrounds, and their unbeatable Northern Beaches coastline .
When they’re not behind the counter you’ll find Carla and
Adam perusing the nearby Warriewood farmers market or
heading down to Manly to their slightly hidden local, Donny’s,
with the occasional guilty splurge at Freshwater’s renowned
hatted restaurant, Pilu (“It’s well worth it” she assures me).

From the
Coop to
the Kitchen
In a peaceful home in Forestville reside two friendly chickens,
Bianca and Margery. These 11-month old Sussex hens hail
from the delightful secret haven known as New Leaf Nursery,
over at Ingleside. Chooks are wonderful pets with quirky,
individual personalities. If handled regularly from a young age,
they enjoy cuddles and are very responsive to their owners, yet
they don’t require the more intensive care of other companion
animals. Chickens keep each other company and are happy
whether you have lots of time to interact, or whether you only
spend time with them occasionally. Ideal for busy families,
only a little time is needed each day for food and fresh water,
and a simple clean-up of the coop on the weekend.
There is something curiously relaxing about digging about
in the veggie patch with a couple of chickens milling around
and scratching alongside. Social yet unperturbed, hens are
remarkablygivingpets.Aswellasthetranquilitytheyencourage,
they are a wonderful learning experience for children who,
from a young age, can help with food, water and collecting
eggs each day.
Speaking of eggs – yum! There is nothing like a fresh egg
straight from the garden. Soft-boiled, gently baked, lightly
scrambled, fried or poached – they are incomparable to
standard supermarket eggs. And because they’re a gift from
your pets, they have that extra-special ingredient – love. Soft
boiled eggs in a colourful egg cup with buttery toast soldiers
is our Sunday morning ritual. What bliss!
But it’s not just about the eggs, chickens are the ultimate
“eco-pet”, eating up kitchen scraps and providing manure
which will have your herbs and vegetables growing like crazy.
We’ve been keeping chooks for around 7 years and haven’t
looked back. Bianca and Margery have a lot to give and we
love having them around.

What to do: Line the bottom of a baking dish with baby
spinach and scatter over chopped tomatoes, diced red onion
and spoonful’s of Persian fetta.
In a small bowl crack four eggs and add chopped parsley, salt
pepper, dukkah (roughly a tablespoon) and whisk lightly to
combine. If just serving to adults I like to add a few shakes of
cayenne pepper also to give it a little kick.
Pour egg mixture evenly over already prepared baking dish.
Once this has settled crack four eggs, without breaking the
yoke, in to areas of the baking dish that need filling. Add a few
heaped teaspoons of relish to the top, sprinkle with dukkah
and pop in the oven for roughly 35 mins. Just keep checking
to see if the eggs whites have set- similar to cooking a quiche.
Remove from oven and serve with cos lettuce and avocado.
And a strong coffee of course! Enjoy. *
BAked eggs
Preparation time: 45 minutes
Serves: 4 people
This is a great go-to recipe if you have a house full of visitors
(whether it be planned or unplanned!) and need to fill hungry
tummies quickly at breakfast time. There are no tricky techniques
involved and you can vary the recipe to your liking.
What You Need:
8 eggs – depending on the size of the dish you can always add more.
Half a punnet of cheery tomatoes halved
Bunch of fresh parsley
Tomato relish – I use Jill’s Cuisine
Half a red onion diced
Persian fetta
Baby Spinach
Dukkah
Rock salt and Pepper to taste.

The Spice
of Life
In my humble opinion the most underrated tool in achieving a
healthy lifestyle is home cooking. Sourcing our own food, like
from local farmers markets and understanding what really
goes into what we’re eating helps us to really get connected
to our food. When we cook our own meals we consume far
less sugar, salt and calories not to mention other nasties that
sneak their way into highly processed foods.
Beyond the actual ingredients themselves is something just
as important. When you make your own food you infuse it with
love. You might be thinking that sounds all a bit too ‘hippy-
dippy’ for you, but think about this: Food is something that
brings everyone together. We can cook together; we can
share it with our loved ones. The energy you bring to your food
preparation is what eventually ends up in your body. It’s the
vitality that feeds us - it brings us good health and energy and
- yes, that’s right - love.
With that being said one of my top tips for making home
cooking both super simple and delicious is to use herbs and
spices. As the weather cools down and we start to crave
more comforting foods herbs and spices are a great way to
add flavour, plus they also have their own health benefits like
cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties and fennel can
help aid digestion. Using different herbs and spices in our
cooking is also the subtle difference between making food
with Indian or Thai or Chinese influence. So it also makes your
cooking extremely versatile. Make sure your cupboard is fully
stocked with a great selection!
This recipe is our take on Tandoori Chicken - using our own
spice mix! By marinating the chicken in the spices it’s both
tender and flavoursome. This recipe is dairy free, grain free.
It would also be great as a centrepiece to an Asian inspired
sharing dinner platter amongst friends or to share with family.

What to do: Put all the spices for the marinade mix into a
bowl and work into a fine texture. Transfer into a small pan
and gently toast the spices on a low heat for about 1-2 minutes.
This allows the flavor and aroma of the spices to intensify.
Remove from the heat and place into a mixing bowl. Add the
garlic and chili to form a rough paste. Add the lemon juice and
coconut cream and mix well.
Add the chicken and coat with the marinade, then cover with
cling film and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 6
hours. (Tip: You can prepare the marinade the night before
and leave it to work it’s magic in the fridge the following day).
Preheat the grill in your oven as hot as it will go. Place the
chicken on tin foil in an oven tray keeping as much of the
marinade on as possible. Pop under the grill for 15-20 minutes
turning occasionally until colour changes to golden brown,
don’t worry if you get some charring, it all adds to the tandoori
effect!
Meanwhile, gently blanch the broccoli in some water for a few
minutes and cut the green capsicum into medium sized pieces.
Once ready take the broccoli and coat with the capsicum in the
leftover marinade. Then spread out on a large baking tray in a
single layer. Add the ghee to the baking tray. Place in the oven
for 10 minutes, they should be tender when done.
Put everything onto a plate and scatter fresh coriander and
spring onion on top. *

HUMANS OF

BEACHES
About me…
I’m a devoted husband and a sluggo wearing dad to three
amazing children. There’s nothing I enjoy more than taking
photos and eating caramel slice. I’m a people person, a down
to earth type, who loves a chat and a beer and the occasional
dad joke. I’m hopeful at sunrise and thankful at sunset.
Humans of Northern Beaches
I love long walks along the beach and shooting portraits of
people on the streets. I’ve met some amazing people along the
way. Feel free to follow along. Humans of Northern Beaches,
one photo at a time. *

The Beaches
Market
As the glow of white tents draws closer the anticipation builds;
it’s market day, the day I’ve worked all week for. The day you
can completely zone out, wonder around perusing handcrafted
treasures, coffee and flowers in hand, feeling like a whimsical
character from Amelie…. But perhaps that’s just me.
As I turn to my partner with the excitement of a five year old
and intentions of asking him to come with me, I notice that he
is clearly holding his breath and hoping that I change the topic
fairly quickly. I guess it’s not for everyone.
Attending markets has been a life long obsession for me and
it’s filled with fond memories. Bartering grandpas for additions
to my stamp collection at a young age, filling my apartment
with retro furniture finds and buying those ‘vintage’ boots that
turned out to be just old and a little smelly.
My standout discoveries at The Beaches Market would have
to be the Pasta Gallery prawn garlic ravioli (albeit $20 but
worth it), cold pressed juice from the lovely ladies at Projuice
and the passionfruit tapioca pudding made by Arlingtons – I
can not explain how delicious this actually is and not ashamed
to say that I ate the whole tub in one sitting. *
