Six years of Pink October for Cooroy
In the pink: Councillors Brian Stockwell, Joe Jurisevic and Jess Glasgow COOROY’S annual Pink October event will be held again on 19 October - marking six years of the community stepping out in their best pink outfits to have fun and raise funds and awareness for breast cancer treatment. Organiser Carol Christensen said she is proud to have been involved in the event over the years, which raises awareness and funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. “The Pink Precinct Fun Trail is a fun way to encourage the community to get out and active and meet local businesses and residents while supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation,” she said. “The work of NBCF is fully-funded by the Australian public, so all funds raised by our local community are important to help reduce this cancer – the most common cancer affecting women. “Many people in our community - both men and women - have been affected by breast cancer and this annual event is a way to recognise and celebrate their journey and support them and their families.” Carol said all ages and fitness levels were welcome with the only requirements being a sense of fun, a pink outfit and an early start (6:30am for a 7am start). The Fun Trail kicks off at 7am from the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts
Centre, finishing at the same location for prizes and speeches at 8am. Dogs are welcome and will also be awarded prizes for best dressed. Entry to the Fun Trail is a gold coin donation - the cost of a “Pink Passport” - with great prizes awarded for the best outfit and first across the line. The prizes include Fitbits for the male and female winner, donated by Cooroy Future Group and Fiona Winter Realty, and a longboard scooter for the under 18’s. All entrants need a Pink Passport - either purchase on the day from 6.30am, or in advance from participating local businesses or Cooroy Library - to collect your stamps from the marked locations on the trail. First over the line with all stamps wins a prize. The Pink Precinct Fun Trail began in 2011 in response to a call from the Cooroy community to support this worthy cause. The initial event was organised by the Cooroy Library staff, the Friends of Mill Place, and community members. In 2014 a partnership was formed between Noosa Council and the Lower Mill Board (now the Cooroy Future Group) to deliver this event along with the annual Cooroy Fusion Festival. The event owes its ongoing success to the massive contribution from local volunteers and local business owners who take part each year.

EXHIBITION
Running until Tuesday 31 October 2017 Gold Lotus Michelle Mann Creamery space Michelle Mann is inspired daily by all that is around her, real and imaginary. She expresses energy and emotion through her paintings giving the viewer an opportunity to enter her fantasy world. The intuitive artworks in the Gold Lotus series are rich in colour and contain powerful messages. Michelle hopes to inspire those who see her work, to step out of their daily life, take a few minutes and see the world from a different view.
Making Light of the Dark Ian Richter Making Light of the Dark is a collection of photographic images that speak to those people who have Depression, for within the images’ reversed state, all darkness becomes light, and colour is reversed. It is hoped by ‘turning it around’, people who suffer from depression and related mental illness can be helped through an awareness and greater understanding of mental illness; people will know there is help out there and that they don’t have to go through it alone. This exhibition provides a unique way for many people to view the world in a new light. Making Light of the Dark is held in conjunction with Queensland Mental Health Week 2017.

Accounts Geoff Edwards, Cooroy & Pomona Community Bank Branches of Bendigo Bank EVERY business has a transactional bank account, but have you got the right one? 1. Do you have specific legislative requirements to consider? This relates to your business and financial structure. For example, Real-Estate Agents and Solicitors are required to have trust accounts to handle deposits on property sales and so forth. Not-for-profit or volunteer organisations may also have particularly requirements in relation to their financial management and bank accounts. 2. How do your staff and suppliers want to be paid? Increasingly, staff and suppliers want to be paid directly into their bank accounts. If this is the case for you, you may need to ensure that your main transaction account includes this facility. In some industries, cash is still king. 3. How do your customers pay you? This varies enormously across industries. For some retailers it will be primarily a mix of cash, EFTPOS and credit cards. For business-to-business suppliers it might be primarily direct debit and cheques. 4. Do you need to link to other accounts? In this day and age many businesses have multiple accounts, investment accounts, loan accounts, credit cards, partner accounts and so forth. In the case of an owner-operator it may also include personal accounts, home-loan and so forth. 5. Do you require multiple signatures/ approval? This is a very important issue if your business has multiple owners or if staff
have been delegated a certain amount of authority over the accounting and banking function. 6. What are your reporting requirements? For some businesses the monthly statement in the mail is enough. For other businesses day by day transactional details are required, along with an instant balance. 7. Talk to your Branch Manager There is always more than one way to set up your banking. If you know what it is you want from us, then we are confident that we have the range of banking products and options to meet your requirements. To talk more about your accounts or any other banking matter, please call into the Cooroy or Pomona branch or call me on 5447 7131 or 5485 1786.

You might pay less in fees and interest charges if you consolidate your debts, but there’ll still be things to look out for. If all those small debts you once had, have somehow multiplied and grown into bigger debts, rolling them into one could reduce what you’re paying in fees and interest. If you’ve heard about debt consolidation, but are wondering whether it’s the right option for you, we look at some of the positives and negatives so you can make an informed and educated decision. What is debt consolidation? Debt consolidation is where you take your existing debts—credit cards, personal loans, car loans or all of the above—and consolidate them into a single loan with a lower interest rate. The benefits • If you can consolidate into a loan with a reduced interest rate and lower fees, you could save a significant amount of money, depending on what you owe • A consolidated loan can be easier to manage as you’ll potentially only need to make one monthly repayment rather than having to juggle several • As you’ll only receive statements from one lender, you can reduce the amount of paperwork involved, which could make budgeting each month a lot easier. The traps to look out for • When looking at debt consolidation providers and products, ensure your provider is licenced by ASIC and their interest rates, fees and charges are lower that what you’re paying currently • f you extend the term of your loan and don’t focus on paying off the principal, be aware that you could end up paying more in interest over time • Also look into whether any application fees apply and whether there are penalties for paying off your loan early. After all, you want to ensure the potential savings outweigh any costs. Other things to keep in mind: • Debt consolidation will only be effective if you’re disciplined about making re-
payments • While you’re paying off the consolidated debt, you should try to avoid taking on any new debt • Once the debt is paid off, don’t fall back into old habits. How to consolidate Some people choose to use their home loan to consolidate their debt because it often offers a much lower interest rate, but it does mean risking your home if you can’t keep up with your repayments. Other options include rolling your debts into a new personal loan, or credit card balance transfer. Different options may provide different advantages and disadvantages depending on your own circumstances, which is why it’s really important to do your research first. Where to go for assistance Speak to us about which type of debt consolidation strategy might suit your needs. You can also seek free financial counselling by ringing the National Debt Helpline on 1800 007 007. Remember, taking action today is important as a bad credit report could affect your ability to get approval on loans in the future.

A different approach to the law COOROY’S new legal centre is changing the way people deal with their disputes and legal problems. As well as offering a full range of traditional legal services, the Cooroy Legal Centre also specialises in mediating disputes. The Centre’s director, Pamela Sweetapple, is a nationally accredited mediator and family dispute resolution practitioner. She said she had deliberately renovated the centre’s new premises so they could be used as a place for mediations as well as legal consultations. “Courts require parties to mediate, not litigate, whenever possible now,” Ms Sweetapple said. “Mediation is a much quicker and less expensive way of dealing with a range of disputes, such as family law issues, estate matters, and neighbourhood disputes.”
After working as a barrister in Brisbane for 22 years, Ms Sweetapple said she understood how difficult and unaffordable it was for many people to go to court. “People wanting Family Court decisions have to wait up to two years for a hearing in Brisbane now,” she said. “By the time they have that hearing, they have often spent more than $100,000 on lawyers.” The Cooroy Legal Centre offers dedicated mediation spaces,
including outdoor spaces in a water garden, to help people stay more relaxed as they tried to reach agreements. “People who mediate their disputes often achieve an outcome that is much better suited than one that might be imposed by a court,” Ms Sweetapple said. “Mediation is nearly always worth a try.” For more information phone Pamela at Consensus Mediations on 5447 7637.

Mary River Month – connect with your local waterway
Photo courtesy Cleo Frasier of ‘Obi’ the Mary River cod at the Gerry Cook Hatchery, Cooroy THE Mary is a south to north running river with large creeks that flow in from the east and west and include Obi Obi, Six Mile, Amamoor & Yabba creeks.

Eumundi: Our Story Past, Present & Future
AS part of the 50th anniversary of the naming of the Sunshine Coast, Eumundi celebrates its story! From 29 September to 1 October, there’s a full weekend of family-fun, community events ranging from indigenous talks and a grand parade, to music and beer celebrations, as well as ballroom dance. As a gift for generations to come, a time capsule documenting the weekend will be buried at Eumundi State School to be opened at the 75th Anniversary. The festive weekend starts on Friday at Deadly Espresso Café. Stop in to share a yarn, enjoy bushtucker delicacies and engage in indigenous experiences. “We want people to connect with our community,” said Terri Waller, Managing Director of SevGen who runs Deadly Espresso. “We’re an ancient culture living in modern times and to explore this, there will be dancing, didgeridoo playing and discussions. We’ll also watch the film Ten Canoes.”
Later that night, slip on those retro digs and head out to Joe’s Waterhole for a 1960s-dance party. Get funky with GENEXIS—prizes go to the best dressed so don’t hold back! On Saturday, straight after the Eumundi markets, grab a spot along Memorial Drive to welcome the Grande Parade. Along for the ride are cows, horses, fire trucks, farm machinery, vintage cars, street performers, dancers, local agriculture and live music. There will also be an Elvis look alike competition for the kids who want to be part of the parade. Afterwards, head straight to the new Eumundi Brewery at the iconic Imperial Hotel. Celebrations will be rolling all afternoon and into the evening. Outside the hotel, Memorial Drive will be rocking with live performances on the street. Settle in to Sunday with Family Fun Day at Dick Caplick Park. To finish off the weekend, slide on those dancing shoes for lessons at Templeton’s Dance Studio

Cooroora Woodworkers & Patches of Cooroy It was quilt and craft lovers heaven at Patches of Cooroy’s annual Quilt Show held this month. If anyone is interested in learning this fine art or joining the group, phone Marlene Strudwick 0418 817 801 TWO Cooroy community clubs came together recently when the Cooroora Woodworkers Club assisted the ‘Patches of Cooroy’ quilting group in their preparations for the recent Cooroy Quilt Show. The Cooroora Woodworkers Club assists a number of other groups each year with worthy tasks and this was a great candidate for a Community Project. The organisers needed six additional display frames to hold the quilts. Woodworkers Club member John Sturtz took on the
job, assisted by Peter Althaus, Alan Warner, Bill Todd and a new member of the club Kerin Shekel on her very first time in the workshop. The team built six large frames, mostly from very attractive Silky Oak timber. Each stand comprised twelve components designed for easy assembly, knock-down and storage.John delivered the frames and helped assemble them for the ladies prior to the Quilt Show in the CWA Hall. By Friday morning a marvellous display of quilt magic was ready for public viewing. Left: Elizabeth Millear, Shauna Steinem and Marlene Strudwick with the ‘Challenge’ display.

COOROY RAG Probus Club of Cooroy
Alan Howieson recently made a wildlife box for nesting parrots and after two weeks of placing it in a tree in his garden in Pomona, a pair of pale headed rosellas have moved in and are now nesting in it.
The Probus Club of Cooroy held their September monthly meeting at the new Palm Lakes Resort. After the meeting they were offered an inspection tour of the facilities, accomodation and grounds. Much is still under construction but what we saw was most impressive. The photo shows Ivy Carter attempting to grip a heavy 10 pin bowling ball with Trevor Bunney and Michael Fayne watching on with encouragement and a little fear !
Exhibitions at Pomona Railway Station Gallery Artist Susan Wishart will be displaying her newest collection of prints in the Carriage Exhibition Room, Pomona Railway Station Gallery this month. Based on subtle energies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; states of mind such as intuition, visions and de ja vu, Susanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is a portal into another world. A level of consciousness that we often ignore or fail to see due to our busy lives. Predominantly influenced by the natural world around her, her unique images are meditative and immersive. Originally from Melbourne, Susan spent the first part of her life between Australia and United Kingdom, traveling the globe to deepen her spiritual and artistic practice. Educated with a degree in Media Arts from RMIT and a Masters in Digital Art from London University of Arts, her focus has been on using technology as a tool to create her visual pieces. Susan Wishart invites you to experience the subtle energies and reflect upon a different way in seeing the world. Exhibition runs until 25 October at Pomona Railway Station Gallery, 10 Station Street, Pomona.

Our country show gets better with age ORGANISERS of this year’s show said there was something for everyone and the ticket sales proved it. Few country shows have stood the test of time as well as Noosa and the Pomona showground is still the hub of the community, in the town where Noosa Shire was originally formed so many years ago. For two full days, the main arena was full of horses and activity with people of all ages showing off what they have. Riders from all over regional Queensland came to enter with some as young as five years old. As with all good shows there was sideshow alley, rides of all kinds face painting, great family entertainment and food as far as the eye could see. A massive selection of different goodies meant show goers were spoiled for choice. Around the showground there was plenty of artwork, baked goods, vegetables and fruit, flowers, jams, photographs, plants and more. Some 18 sections submitting for judging including horses, flowers and fruit and vegetables in categories for kids and adults and a massive variety throughout the pavilion. Show president, Cameron Magick said he was delighted how things all came together over the two days. “It’s been a labour of love again this year, but we’re very happy with the way it all came together,” he said. “We’re a passionate show committee and thrilled with the program we assembled for 2017. I really want to thank them for their incredible efforts, allowing us to showcase the very best of Noosa Country to so many. We have to thank our many sponsors too. Noosa Council has been a great support along Geoff Edwards and the team at the Cooroy and Pomona Community Bank branches of Bendigo Bank”, Cameron added. Again this year, two stages packed in the live entertainment with great bands including Hard Labour and Shades of Grey along with emerging band, Von Vixa with family entertainment including clowns and magic acts. The Rooftop Express Show was a big hit on both days displaying amazing horsemanship to the delight of the crowds, The Honky Tonk Rodeo pro barrel racing, saddle bronc, bareback, poddy calves were popular and of course, the bull ride. If you missed the 108th instalment of this great community get-together, then plan to get along in 2018.

As part of Eumundi’s celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of the naming of the Sunshine Coast, The Imperial Hotel and Eumundi Brewery are celebrating on Saturday 30 September with free brewery talks and behind-thescenes with the brewing
dining & entertainment Eumundi Brewery celebrates with Vaudeville Smash
team; family fun activities; and a live music program that culminates with Melbourne’s disco/pop dynamos VAUDEVILLE SMASH playing in The Brewery at 7pm. Manager Paul Thomas said the hotel and brewery celebrations will be rolling
all afternoon and into the evening. “The brewery talks will take place throughout the afternoon and will be hosted by our brewing team and tour guides,” Paul said. “It will be a great chance to glean some insight into
how the beer is made, as well as learn some history about beer making in Eumundi, and the development of the new brewery. ‘It will also be the perfect time for people to try our new Eumundi Brewery Lager and Eumundi Brewery Pale Ale,” he said. “As our gift to the community to say thank you for supporting the new Eumundi Brewery, we’re giving away up to 300 free tickets to see disco/pop dynamos VAUDEVILLE SMASH, who will be playing in The Brewery at 7pm that night,” he said. “Simply buy a Eumundi Brewery beer on the day to receive a free ticket to this 18+ gig. And I’d get in quick as they will disappear fast!” Guests will enjoy live music all afternoon, kicking off with The Brown Trouts in The Imperial Beer Garden from 12noon, followed by live performances on the street including Eumundi School of Rock, Uncle Bob’s Jug Band and Mufassa, capped off with the Vaudeville Smash gig in The Brewery from 7pm. An explosion of funk, flute, sax, synth and groove, VAUDEVILLE SMASH pack the dance floor with their high energy

good time sets. Made up of three brothers and two mates, they have a sound that’s all their own – a mind-blowingly refreshing sonic feast that fuses late 70s and early 80s quasi-disco dance grooves. In case you’re wondering, their name was inspired by an Italian children’s karaoke machine that was around in the late ’80s! VAUDEVILLE SMASH have certainly carved their own niche, building a formidable following in their hometown of Melbourne and around the world. Their international adventures have seen them sign with Japan’s P-Vine records, after returning to Tokyo and the Sapporo City Jazz Festival in 2015 for the third consecutive year, where they also filmed the video for their single Richter Scale. This is a gig not to miss. Bring your dancing shoes!

Women Like Us @ Club Cooroy!
Women Like Us comedians Mandy Nolan and Ellen Briggs are different from your usual comedians. For a start they’re women. They’re mothers. They’re middle aged and they are country girls. With over 50 sold out shows to their credit the girls have performed to packed houses at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival’s Enmore Theatre, Adelaide Fringe and Perth Festival, as well as taking their comedy stylings to halls, pubs, clubs and theatres around the country. And now it’s Cooroys’s turn with Women Like Us performing at the Club Cooroy on Saturday 7 October. Women Like Us is two hours of stand up comedy – an hour apiece. This isn’t your regular stand up comedy show. This is as one review described it ‘a two tena pad show’. These are untold laugh out loud women’s stories, smack bang centre stage. Small town showgirls, there are few sacred cows that Briggs and Nolan shy away from milking, with seven children and thirty five years stage time between them, their ‘failure to parent’ is the focus of their material, along with the beauty industry, getting older, getting fatter, strange sur-
geries, weird TV shows, obsessions, frustrations, and at the end of the day, who unpacks the dishwasher. Mandy Nolan is a columnist for the Byron Shire Echo, and writes regularly for Mamamia. She has appeared on ABC’s Q&A, SBS’s Mums The Word & About Women and is in demand as a corporate and club performer around the country. Ellen Briggs is a national Finalist for RAW comedy and winner of Foxtel Comedy Channel’s Be A Comedian. Women Like Us is a riot. Audiences have complained of aching stomach muscles, sore jaws, and at one show a woman actually injured herself when she laughed so much she slipped from her chair onto the floor! “We want to make you laugh, but most of all we want you to go home feeling good about yourself. Women spend too much time not liking themselves, beating themselves up for being too old, too fat, a bad parent, a terrible cook, but we just say, hey, its what makes us human! Celebrate Your Imperfection!” Saturday 7 October, Doors 7pm. Show 7.30pm, RSL Club Cooroy. Tix $32 Online at womenlikeus.com.au.

Benefits of infant swimming THERE are many areas associated with infant swimming where both anecdotal and academic evidence show benefits. Having spent 9 months suspended in the warm fluids of a mother’s womb, newborn babies have a natural affinity with the water. Once baby is born, parents can help maintain this affinity that their baby has with the water through their initial bath time routines. However, as they become older, babies can lose their inherent love of the water and become fearful. The progression from the bath to early infant swim lessons and baby swimming lessons can ensure baby learns to enjoy the aquatic experience from an early age, while at the same time providing baby with many benefits that extend well beyond the swimming pool. Swimming Improves Cognitive function. Bilateral cross-patterning movements, which use both sides of the body to carry out an action, help your baby’s brain grow. Cross-patterning movements build neurons throughout the brain, but especially in the corpus callosum, which facilitates communication, feedback, and modulation from one side of the brain to another. Down the road, this improves: reading skills, language development, academic learn-

ing and spatial awareness. Lessons reduce the Risk of Drowning. A 2009 study, while small in scope, found an 88 percent reduction in drowning risk in children ages 1 to 4 who had taken swim lessons. Lessons may also be helpful in this regard because parents become more aware of drowning. When a parent is proactively involved in teaching their child to swim, they may be more conscious of drowning risks overall. Swimming Improves Confidence. Most infant classes include elements like water play, songs, and skin-to-skin contact with parents or caregivers. Children interact with one another and the instructor and begin to learn to function in groups. These elements, plus the fun of learning a new skill, boost your baby’s self-esteem. Swimming with your baby can deepen your emotional bond with him or her, since the water resistance stimulates tactile receptors. Additionally, touch for a baby provides him or her with emotional nourishment and a feeling of connection. In todays electronic, hectic world. What better way to send time with your little one growing closer together and having fun. Eumundi Aquatic Centre is offering infant swim classes. Phone 5442 7186 for more information. Kabara held a morning tea to celebrate the long term residencies of Jenny OKeeffe, who has lived at Kabara now for thirty years and Vinnie Grady who has been there for 20 years. Jenny loves music, particularly Elvis, and loves jewellery and sparkles. Vinnie loves to garden, enjoys bus outings and spending time with friends and family.

WE are all deserving of experiencing a happy life in feeling pleasure however the reality is, our mind is the master key to our happiness. From our first day to the last, our daily functioning is totally reliant on the mind and its messages - our thoughts! “Our thoughts, perceptions and beliefs in processing information generally stem from our past experiences and the relational and social influences from parents, relatives, friends, teachers etc. It is our biological makeup that our past experiences trigger certain thoughts, beliefs and reactions to certain situations. When our past experiences have been traumatic and hold pain, naturally for our own protection, our automatic thoughts in reaction can be self-defensive. Not good for our relationships,” says counsellor Kim Runia. “In short, it is our thoughts and beliefs that give meaning to our feelings that direct our actions and when we feel challenged by a problem situation, our mind becomes vigilant (primal instinct). Needless to say that we will experience sad / bad situations at some time in life, however when we hold on to the sad / bad thoughts and feelings of past experience our mind can become faulty. Self defeating thoughts take on a life of their own, the imagination runs away, the fears escalate, the mind re-

acts and the body responds automatically. The focus on what might happen as opposed to what is happening often creates a spiral of catastrophic thinking, so we become prisoner of our faulty mind of sad / bad thoughts and feelings. “Indeed, by increasing our self awareness, (mindfulness) and in having the freedom of making choices - we can control what we do with our thoughts! When unwanted thoughts take over our mind, examine them, and ask are they relevant to the present moment or simply the residue of past experiences. Choose to change the thought, ignore the thought, or better still take focus on what is good, because we alone are responsible in controlling our thoughts. “My counselling practice and my understanding of the problem issues that we endure or (unconsciously manifest) in our lives is grounded on my own life experiences. My yearning to improve my own quality of life led me to obtain my education. For the past 5 years my practice has been extremely rewarding in supporting individuals to examine their mind and create their own path to happiness.” For appointments phone Kim Runia on 0457 905 570.

Heel pain PLANTAR fasciitis is a common condition causing pain in the heel or into the arch of the foot. The Plantar fascia is a connective tissue which runs underneath the foot from the heel bone to the base of the toes forming the foot’s arch. Often injury is due to repetitive load and less commonly due to a traumatic injury. Due to the insertion of the plantar fascia on the heel bone often it will present as heel pain on walking. Causes: Repetitive or prolonged activities i.e. runners, dancers, gymnasts; Sudden increase in exercise or load; Poor foot posture- flat feet or high arches; Poor hip and knee muscle strength and control; Calf muscle tightness or joint stiffness; Inappropriate footwear. Signs and symptoms to be aware of are morning pain with the first few steps which eases with movement, an initial onset of pain with exercise which eases as you warm up, tenderness on the arch of the foot or the heel and pain when walking with no shoes or flat soles. With a progres-
sion of symptoms people may experience constant pain with walking which increases with loading and exercise. A Physiotherapist will be able to diagnose plantar fasciitis by thorough assessment to target the cause and best management approach individually for you. Treatment may consist of advise on appropriate footwear, arch support when required, soft tissue release, joint mobilisation and home exercises of stretching and muscle strengthening. A Physio is then able to rehabilitate a patient through a gradual return to exercise to prevent reoccurrence of the injury. If you have been experiencing heel or arch pain a physiotherapist at Hinteractive Physio can assess and diagnose the source of your symptoms to assist with the best treatment and management. Call us today on 54425556 or email us hinteractivephyio@gmail.com is you have any questions of enquires.

COOROY RAG Iconic Queenslander on half acre
Price: $525,000 Nothing could be more Australian than an original Queenslander home. Just like the FJ Holden, these homes echo our national heritage and we commend people who restore these homes for the joy of living in them and also for the pleasure of the community to admire. This home has been maintained meticulously for over half a century with important upgrades such as concrete stumps, re-roofing and re-wiring. With the large home sitting on 2 lots of land totalling 2037m2, the entire property gives the astute buyer plenty of options. The home is filled with heritage features such as 11ft ceilings, fretwork vents, VJ walls and a wide front verandah. Over the years the side verandahs were built in, as often was the case, and two long sleep-outs run along the Eastern and Western sides. These make great bedrooms or sun rooms to catch the light morning and evening. The home has three other bedrooms with silky- oak french doors and ornate art deco light shades.
www.cooroyrag.com.au
The floor covering is currently in Axminster carpet in lounge and bedrooms, which covers lovely original floorboards, should the new owner wish to have polished floors. The land is near level and easy to maintain with established gardens and views across to the tablelands. This location is so handy and only a short 700m walk to the post office and general store. Cooran also offers some small mixed businesses and a great primary school. Secondary students can catch a bus near sports club, approx. 300m from this home. This property may well suit buyers looking for a 2nd dwelling or granny flat which could work well on the 2nd lot. (STCA) Under the home is equally immaculate with a lock up workshop, a laundry which includes a 2nd shower, and plenty of concreted surfaces to make use of. The owners are downsizing and leaving behind a lovely garden and more importantly a friendly neighbourhood. Inspection is by appointment only. Dowling Neylan Real Estate, Paul Bielby, 0437 346 256.
Country Living is the Best
Properties like this one are few and far between. On offer is a large 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom country style home with a charming full length veranda that features an entry to all main rooms of the home. A well thought out design that has a left wing with a long light-filled hall way which houses 3 of the bedrooms and one of the two family bathrooms. The bedrooms all include built-in wardrobes and ceiling fans. In the centre of the home is the country style Tassie oak kitchen. With a gas stove, large pantry and good cupboard space there should be no complaints for any avid cook. The dining room is separate from the kitchen but flows nicely into the large living room. The kitchen opens out into the outdoor entertainment area which makes for easy entertaining. The centre of the home includes the laundry and the second family bathroom nicely placed for guests to access easily. The right wing homes a further bedroom, an office and the master suite. The master is large with a walk-in robe and a well-appointed ensuite. The layout is flexible in that it would suit a shared living situation or just as easily a young family with a master and nursery on one side and the older chil-
dren on the other. It all just works!

The Noosa District State High School Silver Duke of Edinburgh students recently undertook a four day bush walking expedition through Girraween National Park. The class has been working on the theoretical aspects of navigation this term and this camp provided them with the opportunity to put these skills to the test. Girraween, located on the New South Wales border, near Stanthorpe, was very cold at this time of year. The group experienced three nights of below zero temperatures. Each student tried their hand at navigating the group around spectacular country and into some remote and unique campsites. All the students involved passed the navigation course, demonstrating that they could read a map and compass, plot a bearing and follow it successfully in off track conditions.
NDSHS celebrates Book Week said. Tough choices were made by the team of judges comprising of teachers Louize Lyle, Leanne Tanner and Luke Lanham with some interesting and outstanding outfits on show. The winners for the day were Year 11 student Tahlia English who was awarded first place with a $50 voucher. Tahlia was dressed as The Mad Hatter from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in

Wonderland. Year 11 student Hayley Strohfeldt, won second place dressed as Liesel Meminger from The Book Thief and scored herself a $30 voucher. Year 9 student Ethan Lewis won third place and a $20 voucher dressed as John Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. “A huge congratulations to our winners and to all of the students involved. It was a wonderful day,” Ms Priestley said.

NOOSA District State High School celebrated Book Week with a character themed dress-up day for staff and students. Acting head of the English department Alarna Priestley was impressed with the diverse range of costumes on show, with the students in Year 9, 10, 11 and 12 demonstrating that they were not too old for
dress-ups and the frivolity of the day. NDSHS staff and students encouraged one another to read with a good reason to explain and promote their favourite stories and protagonists. “To borrow some words from Bill Gates about why reading is important, ‘… we should go to bed everyday with more knowl-
edge than when we woke up …’ and that is why he spends over six hours reading every day,” Ms Priestley said. The day was filled with laughs and tantalising tales. “These are some of the days that we remember years, and sometimes, decades later, and we thank everyone involved for their participation,” Ms Priestley

Cooroy Mountain Spring Festival THE Rotary Club of Cooroy is proud to advise that their 4th Annual Cooroy Mountain Spring Festival planning is well under way. This Festival, held on Sunday 15th October at the Cooroy Mountain Spring Water property, is a once a year opportunity to view our mountain and enjoy the beautiful outdoors and at the same time have fun. This is a great event which enables the Rotary Club of Cooroy to raise much needed funds for local charities. The main beneficiary will be Sunshine Butterflies, a local disability support service and charity supporting babies, kids, tweens, teens and adults with a disability and their families. Over 2,000 visitors are attracted to this fun filled day and climb the mountain to enjoy the views of the beaches to the East and Hinterland to the West. As well as the walk and climb, McDermott Aviation will provide helicopter flights over
SOCIAL PLAY Cooroy and the hinterland. This is a great attraction and those who arrive early and purchase tickets will be enthralled by what they see. Before you start enjoy billy tea and damper and a hearty BBQ breakfast and when you return sit
and listen to the wonderful stories from a bush poet and entertainment will be provided by the wonderful local Pineapple Crush Ukulele Band singing well-known songs with their own arrangements, presenting great harmonies and toe
tapping rhythms and beats. One hour will be ample time to walk to the top up a rocky track. Closed footwear is mandatory for walking up the mountain and it is recommended you bring a hat, some water and sunscreen with you.
