It's about 5.45am and her husband Cameron is leaving on a regular morning bike ride from their Sunshine Coast home at Little Mountain, Caloundra, earlier than normal because the days are now warming up. He is usually gone about two hours. When Catherine gets up at 6.45, she notices ­Cameron has eaten his usual banana and ­muesli bar for breakfast. His coffee cup is in the kitchen sink. His iPad is propped up on the table. The morning progresses as normal with their three children - Lachlan, 15, Oscar, 10, and Heidi, 8 - getting ready for school. The younger siblings leave first, riding their bikes together. Catherine thinks about her day ahead. She will walk their dog Herbie on Currimundi Beach; she will go grocery shopping at Aldi. Later, the family will give Lachlan his 15th birthday presents that are still unopened from the day before because he was working. But at 8.20am, police officers are knocking at her front door and Catherine feels her stomach flip. Instantly her mind goes there - something has happened to Cam, for sure. Lachlan is still at home, almost ready to jump on his bike to ride to school. Why are the officers asking if she wants Lachie to stay? For a moment her brain tricks her. Has Lachie done something wrong? Is that why they don't want to talk to me in front of him? Catherine assures her eldest son everything is fine and, with some hesitation, he leaves for school. But nothing about this day is fine. The ­officers tell her Cameron - the man she has known since she was a 14-year-old schoolgirl, her husband of 18 years, who kissed her "good night, baby'' the evening before, her "everything" - is dead, struck by a utility and killed less than 15 minutes after leaving the house. By 11am, Cath­erine Frewer is identifying her husband's body at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. SENSELESS DEATHS Cameron Frewer, 44, who was head chef at Mykies By the Bay restaurant on Kawana Island, is the fifth bicycle rider to die on Queensland roads this year. His death comes...

The cherry blossoms, in Patcham Peace Gardens, in Old London Road, Brighton, were snapped in half by yobs. The trees honour fallen soldiers in the First World War and are used by families to remember their loved ones. Six of them had been recently replanted after vandals broke the original ones. Conservative Councillor Lee Wares, representing Patcham and Hollingbury, said he discovered the damage on Sunday. He said: “This is devastating for everybody. “It is a real kick in the teeth for the U3A volunteers that freely give their time to make the gardens a beautiful place for all to enjoy. “Smashing up a memorial garden is no different than vandalising a grave yard. “It is so disrespectful and I fail to see how anybody cannot distinguish right from wrong. “We have reported this to the police and children’s services where I hope swift intervention can be brought about. “I sincerely hope that when the planting season returns the council will replace these trees. “It must be particularly saddening for those children who have recently embarked on fantastic community projects such as taking over the planters near their school. “I will do all I can to help these individuals engage in a positive contribution to our community and I’m happy to speak with them about the importance of the gardens and even encourage them to participate in replanting the trees and tending the gardens. “Perhaps it is also regretfully time for this area to have CCTV installed.” Two years ago, thieves stole 30 per cent of the stone slabs in the garden. Fellow Conservative Councillor Geoffrey Theobald OBE, also representing Patcham, said he hoped the culprits will be caught so they can be dealt with. He said: “It’s just sickening. Volunteers have put so much time and effort into making it beautiful for the community. “It’s very disheartening for them. I am very disappointed. “I hope those who are res...
