community Stocking fillers at Santa Shop sale
THE Montville Woodies are having their annual Santa Shop Sale on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 Novembe at their sheds at the Montville Sportsground from 9 am to 4 pm. Wooden bowls, boxes, carvings, coffee tables, signs, toys and an array of interesting and useful articles will be on sale and are ideal for Christmas presents.
Every year, the Montville Woodies’ members make and donate lots of wooden toys to the Salvation Army for its annual Christmas Toy Appeal for distribution to less fortunate children at Christmas time.
The Montville Woodies respect and protect the environment as all the timber used has been cut from trees donated and is recycled environmentally instead of being burned.
At the Santa Shop Sale there will be displays and sale of woodwork made by members, a Japanese art form that involves making screens out of small, accurately cut pieces of timber, forming repeating patterns.
Entry is free to the workshed and car parking is free for an hour.
The Montville Woodies is a non-profit community organisation that provides woodworking facilities and training for Sunshine Coast residents, as well as enjoying very helpful assistance and the camaraderie of other members.
HISTORICAL photos from the Cooroy Rag and The Review from 1984 to 1996 will be displayed at the Heritage Centre in Cooroy.

community Opportunity with all the bells and whistles
THE Noosa hinterland town of Amamoor is looking for a new café operator.
This is an exciting and unique opportunity ready for the right person, team, or partnership to take their love of food and hospitality to a new level.
The Village Green Café Amamoor is located at the Amamoor Station precinct right in the heart of Amamoor. Here locals gather for monthly Cheers & Beers’ events; day trippers and campers stop in their thousands en route to the famous Gympie Muster site in the Amamoor State Forest; and Mary Valley Rattler passengers disembark to stretch their legs, grab a bite to eat and watch the train turn in preparation for the journey back to Gympie.
The café building is a refurbished Queensland Railway canteen carriage with an undercover alfresco dining area. This facility is owned by not-for-profit Friends of Amamoor who are keen to engage and work with an experienced café operator whose vision is to make this café once again a drawcard for locals and visitors.
They are looking for someone with vision and an established track record of building a name, brand, and signature dish to make the ‘Village Green Café Amamoor’ a foodie and coffee destination point for all.
Whilst the steam train pulls up to the café door on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, this would be a 5-day café operation becoming a venue of choice for locals to sit, mix and mingle from Wednesday to Sunday.
To submit your expression of interest, please email friendsofamamoor@gmail. com with ‘Café Interest’ in the subject line.
Participants sought for eco-anxiety study
A LOCAL CQUniversity PhD candidate is looking for people to be a part of an innovative program.
Annie Nolan is looking for participants to join a tree-planting event in Cooran.
Annie said it is for a research study by CQUniversity being conducted in the Noosa Shire, funded by the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation and supported by Noosa Council and Noosa Landcare.
The study seeks to understand how taking proactive action on climate change through planting trees to draw down carbon emissions impacts levels of eco-anxiety.
“Across the globe, more people are expressing their concern about the impacts of climate change and the need to take proactive action to reduce greenhouse gases across all sectors of the community.
“Eco-anxiety is a relatively new concept now coming to the fore.
“People experiencing eco-anxiety may not have been directly affected by a major climate-change impact but are experiencing emotional distress and anxiety about a future impacted by climate change.”
Annie said younger people aged below 35 years and those with a greater affinity with the natural environment are more likely to experience eco-anxiety.
“Recent statistics show that 75 per cent of young people think their future is frightening, and 84 per cent said they were worried about climate change.”
Over three planting days held in March, around 80 people came together to plant over 1,200 trees, offsetting around 3,000 tonnes of carbon over the lifetime of the trees.
“Participants said they had a great day doing something positive for the environment alongside other people with a shared purpose for collective effort.”
The next tree-planting day is being held in Cooran on Sunday 13 November and anyone over the age of 16 years is invited to participate in this study.
