Local milk mooves into town

BY ALEX PURCELL FOR five generations, the Cochrane family has had “milk in their veins”, helping pioneer and represent the Queensland dairy industry for over 100 years.

Starting with the family farm in Kin Kin, 200 acres of rolling green pastures purchased by Harry Cochrane in 1919.

“My grandfather came home from the war and bought the farm in Kin Kin,” grandson and owner of Kenilworth Dairies, John Cochrane told the Cooroy Rag.

“They built butter factories in Kin Kin, Cooroy and Gympie and Harry went on that board so consequently, he was chairman of the Cooroy Butter Factory.”

Harry was on the board of the Wide Bay Dairy Cooperative until he passed away in 1971.

“When he passed on, my dad Alan, who had left school in 1942 and was born on the farm in Kin Kin, took my grandfather’s place on the board at the Gympie Butter Factory.”

Alan remained on the board until 1986 while working the family farm in Kin Kin, producing Jersey milk, raising pigs and growing small crops and beans.

“Mum and Dad bought the farm from my grandfather when he passed and worked it until my father died. He actually passed away on the farm he was born on and I had the pleasure of carrying him off. He now rests in Pomona cemetery,” John said.

John was also born on the Kin Kin property and lived there while he went to school at Wahpunga, Pomona and Cooroy.

“When I left school I became a butcher and my wife, Margaret and I had two butcher shops in Gympie.”

But dairying was calling them.

Local milk mooves into town Continued from page 1

John Cochrane From a dairy farming family herself, Margaret’s grandfather James MacKellar had a dairy in Coles Creek with 50 cows supplying cream to the Pomona Butter Factory.

James’ wife, Rene was the daughter of a milkman who, in the early 20th century, supplied milk by horse and cart in Toowoomba.

Like her parents, James and Rene’s child Doreen, met and married Fred Warren, a cream transporter who carted cream to the Wide Bay Butter Factory in Gympie until the Nestle Milk Factory opened and then he hauled milk from dairy farms in the district to Gympie.

Fred and Doreen purchased a dairy farm near her parent’s farm, which Rene continued to manage for 16 years after James’ death.

Here they raised Margaret, who then met and married John Cochrane, and together they began their journey in the dairy industry as a couple after purchasing a dairy farm in Glastonbury.

“When the butter factory closed in Gympie I had started dairying and was supplying milk to Pauls in Nambour and so I went on the board there.

“I spent 31 years on the board at Parmalat representing farmers before deciding to have a go at processing myself because I wanted a home for the milk that I was producing. I thought I was doing a good quality milk and if I could market what I produced I knew it was a milk people would want.”

That’s when John and Margaret bought the cheese factory in Kenilworth and rebranded it Kenilworth Dairies.

Established in 1950 by the Kraft corporation, the cheese factory manufactured bulk cheese before closing in the 80s when Kraft centralised their production.

Reportedly, this move left many unemployed, so with the support of a local businessman, several former employees purchased the factory and reopened it as Kenilworth Country Foods in 1990.

After purchasing the factory in 2017, over three years the Cochranes upgraded

John’s grandsons, Elijah and Miles will be the seventh generation equipment and increased turnover in their popular on-site cafe, Poppa’s Cafe.

“We put more modern equipment in and our bottling plant for bottling. We’ve increased the capacity of the cafe and are doing cheese platters and some meals and coffee as well as selling milk, cheese, yogurt, mousse and ice-cream, which is our own and all made in house.”

With 15 different flavours, Kenilworth Dairies’ homemade ice-cream is a major drawcard for visitors.

And Australia wide, today, Kenilworth Dairies cheese, yogurt and mousse products are available through major supermarkets in every state except Western Australia.

“We’ve got cheese and mousse for sale in all states of Australia, except WA

through Woolworths. Our club cheese is in Aldi and Coles are putting three more cheeses in their NSW and Victorian stores.”

But best of all, the first supermarkets to stock Kenilworth Dairies’ milk are Cooroy, Pomona and Maleny IGAs plus Kenilworth Friendly Grocer.

“The IGAs have been brilliant to us. They have put a lot of our products and Cooroy, Pomona and Maleny IGAs are the first to put in our milks.”

“The 1L, 2L and 3L full cream milks are milk, with nothing added and nothing taken away,” John said.

Currently, milk to Kenilworth Dairies is supplied by three farms owned or operated by the Cochrane family.

“My eldest Kelvin, and his wife Ronnie, and their three little boys operate their own farm at Kandanga. I run one at Dagun and lease another one at Moy Pocket.”

While his mother, Mavis, still owns and resides on the original family farm in Kin Kin, she sold the operational dairy.

John said all of his brothers and sisters and in-laws are also farmers locally and 14 out of 19 of the next generation are farmers as well.

“If my grandchildren decide to go into farming that will be six generations: my grandfather Harry, my parents Alan and Mavis, myself and Margaret, my son Kelvin and his wife Ronnie and my grandchildren Elijah, Miles and Ryland,” John said.

Edna’s “s “sttor oryy with the Rag” THE Cooroy Rag has been in publication now for nearly 60 years.

In the early days, it was owned by a number of locals who toiled endlessly to bring the farming community of Cooroy, a paper they could call their own.

One of those owners was Cooroy born and bred, Edna Smith.

We were honoured to catch up with 91year-old Edna to ask her about her involvement with the Rag. Here is her story.

Edna said the Connelly family began the Rag but then Mr Connelly became ill.

“When Mr Connelly became ill they couldn’t continue, so nothing happened for quite a while.

“I was a farmer’s wife at the time. I had been on our farm off Sunrise Road for 20 years and that was when I decided maybe I could do the Rag.” So she did. As owner of the Rag, Edna did everything from sales to editorial.

“If there was something special on in town we always used to do a story on it. They’d have something on at one of the halls so I’d go and write a story about what it was like.

“I had some people who used to come

Cooroy Rag’s Editor Alex Purcell with Edna and help me. Mrs Connelly ended up coming and helping me on a Tuesday afternoon because we used to send the paper out on the cream carriers.”

Every week, Edna published 120 copies of the Rag using an electric printer.

“We used to just tell it how many pages we want. We had usually about eight

pages back and front, so four pieces of foolscap.

“Then the cream carrier would take it out to the people on the farms when they delivered their mail because the farmers got their mail by cream carrier in those days.”

Edna said those were the days when

most of the farms around Cooroy were all dairy or fruit farms.

After two years of bringing Cooroy it’s beloved paper, Edna decided to give it up, but she didn’t stay “uninvolved” for long.

“I found that it was a bit of a nuisance for my husband as well - because he ended up having to help me on a Tuesday night until about midnight to finish it off because we published it on a Wednesday.

“I only owned it in 1969 and 1970 so I really didn’t own it for all that long but later on, when the Duke family took over I used to go and help Jenny, their daughter-inlaw so I was still involved even though I didn’t do much anymore afterwards.”

Jenny Duke later ran the Rag from their Kauri Street home.

Jenny’s daughter Anita Duke commented on a photo of a 1976 edition of the Rag published on our Facebook page: “They were published by my mum, Jenny Knott, she was Jenny Duke then. That’s our home phone number on the top. We found all the copies she printed and donated them a few years ago.”

These donated copies are still in the Cooroy Rag archives.

Business decreases for Cooroy during COVID-19 restrictions BUSINESSES in Cooroy have spoken out about how the COVID-19 restrictions affected their business.

A total of 52 Cooroy businesses participated in the Noosa Council Business Resilience Survey. The survey captured feedback from businesses between May 29 and June 22 in regards to how COVID-19 was directly impacting them prior to stage two restrictions lifting.

Overall, the majority of respondents reported a significant revenue decline being the greatest challenge of the COVID-19 environment.

More than three-quarters of respondents (40) said their business turnover decreased as a direct impact of COVID-19 with the majority saying their business dropped by 21-40 percent.

“About six weeks of running at about 20 percent of my expected/normal income,” one

business said in the comments of the survey.

“Had to close completely due to the landlord being unhelpful,” commented another.

“We have had no income for two months so far,” said a third business.

Due to COVID-19, businesses said they made a number of changes to their business from operating with minimal staff or reduced hours to moving to an online platform or trading from home.

Thankfully, of the respondents, nearly 85 percent said they were still able to operate while nine percent said they will be able to again in the future and five percent had to close permanently.

Noosa Council plans to use the survey results to information to inform policy and programs in recovery. They will be conducting the survey again in September/October as they monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and the local business community.

New Arrivals

Changes to Maple Street parking coming NOOSA Council have confirmed nose-in parking will replace the current rear-in configuration of the parking spaces on Maple Street in Cooroy from late October/ November.

Council’s infrastructure services director, Carl Billingham said in a statement issued to the Rag, the changes will bring the street’s parking arrangements in to line with current AustRoads and Australian standards.

“Nose-in parking should reduce congestion resulting from motorists waiting for other drivers to complete more difficult reverse-parking manoeuvres.

“It will also overcome issues with large tow bars and ute trays overhanging

footpaths, as well as reduce exhaust emissions on to footpaths and outdoor café and dining areas.

“The changes will also enable us to provide new disabled parking and motorcycle parking bays.

“Council staff have been in contact with local businesses about the proposed changes and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.”

round the regions Outrage over Range Road

BY NARELLE SCHUH REPRESENTATIVES from the Kin Kin Community Group (KKCG) and other affected residents recently attended a roundtable discussion regarding road and community safety issues due to the increased operation of large quarry trucks over the Kin Kin range.

Sandy Bolton MP, Noosa Council Mayor Clare Stewart, councillors Amelia Lorentson and Karen Finzel, Cordwell Resources Shepperson’s Lane quarry operators and local police also attended.

It resulted in an agreement to implement new measures to further address and review the safety concerns prior to the next meeting planned for mid-October 2020.

The new measures include the installation of speed cameras and traffic counters, one of which is existing on Shepperson’s Lane, Kin Kin. Council and Sandy Bolton have requested that Cordwell’s ensure their quarry induction processes and procedures are in-line with the Quarry Management Plan (QMP) which governs its operation. A

A cafe trail adventure

BY CELESTE FRANCES SCOTT IT’S not only about the array of adventure trails for those seeking that adrenaline hit when heading out to the Mary Valley.

For some of us, it’s about slowing down

public forum held in August at the Kin Kin Community Hall saw a large number of local residents voice their concerns to Council.

These included non-adherence to the QMP – out-of-hours operation, excessive noise, convoying, tailgating, speeding and lane swerving. This has put the safety of drivers, riders and children on the local school bus route over the range at risk.

KKCG President, Jann Bonsall says, “The range road is not built to cope with the excessive number of trucks. The proof is that the road has deteriorated to such an extent that ‘patch up’ roadworks are continuous and no longer work. This is affecting not just Kin Kin residents and visitors but all the way through to Pomona and beyond.”

Evidence in terms of videos, photos, dashcam footage and police incident reports via Policelink (Phone 131 444) – should be sent to Sandy Bolton noosa@parliament.qld.gov.au and Clare Stewart clare.stewart@noosa.qld.gov.au to seek out an adrenaline hit in the form of a great blended coffee. I love the energy and vibe of life in the Mary Valley where every cup of coffee becomes a conversation with a local business owner or employee, who has invested just as much of their own cheers and tears into ensuring the experience served up all hot and creamy meets the expectation of every tourist and local equally.

When engaging in conversation it becomes obvious, these folks love what they do, and they do it tirelessly with pride and passion.

The Mary Valley is an adventure trail of fabulous coffee houses and trendy cafés. Spend a day, a weekend, or a week in this fabulous region to discover when the call goes out for coffee – the adventure begins in discovering if the next coffee experiences could possibly outdo the last.

Mayor Clare’s DESK

Hello Hinterland!

To keep you up to date with Council happenings I have kindly been invited to write a monthly column for your interest.

As we promised during budget discussions, we are now seeking community views on budget spending priorities for the next Budget Quarter Review. COVID has hit our bottom line, but we want the community to give us your thoughts on where spending could occur or where we may have to reduce services. To have ‘your say’ visit the council website and click on the ‘Your Say Noosa’ icon to provide feedback. This closes on September 27, 2020 The ‘I Encourage You’ partnership between Council and The University of the Sunshine Coast, has kicked off in schools in Doonan and Sunshine Beach.

The initiative, which is very close to my heart, sees stellar USC athletes and myself attend schools in our region to talk with students. Subjects such as overcoming adversity, resilience and goal setting are all covered. I would strongly encourage Hinterland schools to register to be a part of these monthly events as they are very inspirational.

On another topic, we have done some key resurfacing works in Cooroy recently.

The Mary River road has been re-sealed in a project worth over $700,000 and kerb and channel work is due to start shortly in preparation for the Maple Street and Emerald Street resealing work.

We are also resealing some roads in Cooran. These are – Queen Street, Service Road, Railway Road and Bridge Street.

Finally, there has been a lot of interest in the Hinterland Adventure Playground.

Staff have briefed the new Council on this signature project and plan to come back to us with a few options in a month or so. It is partly funded by the State Government so they too will be involved in any discussions. I can however, assure residents that this project is crucial to the ongoing growth and development of our Shire.

Until next month, take care, stay safe, Clare

From Marty Hunt MP BELATED Father’s Day wishes to all the dads out there and I hope the day was a special one for you and your loved ones.

You may have seen me out and about in Cooroy last week and wondered what I was up to. I was enjoying making home visits to constituents who requested a meeting with me as well as visiting constituents new to the Nicklin Electorate to welcome them to this great part of the world and give them one of my welcome packs. If you or someone you know would like to m e e t w i t h m e i n r e l a t i o n t o St a t e matters – you are welcome to call my office to arrange (5406 4100).

In my last column I provided an update on the issue of the dangerous Cooroy intersections and my frustration with the lack of communication from DTMR on the project - despite many speeches in Parliament, petitions, meeting requests etc. I advised I had delivered another Question on Notice in Parliament on the issue in the last sitting and I would update readers on the response due to me by 17 August.

The Question and very disappointing response are as follows: Q: With reference to Answer to Question on Notice No. 1542 of 2019 and the Minister’s undertaking to have ‘TMR ... continue to provide progress updates to the Member for Nicklin, key stakeholders and the local community’ regarding Cooroy intersections safety upgrades, as it has been eight months since this undertaking and there have been no further progress updates— Will the Minister outline a timetable for this

project and when the community might expect to see a plan or outcome?

A: I thank the Member for Nicklin for the question. TMR has undertaken early planning to investigate options for the future upgrade of two intersections at Elm Street and Diamond Street, and Elm Street and Myall Street in the town of Cooroy. As part of the consultation process, key stakeholders and the local community were invited to provide feedback on traffic signals as a possible future upgrade option for both intersections.

TMR has undertaken a thorough process in evaluating the community input and is still considering the feedback received. TMR will come back to the local community to report on the outcomes of the community feedback program in due course.

So - in summary – no progress since the consultation over nine months ago.

I will continue to push for progress on this important project and keep the community informed.

Try before you buy with CCC

FOLLOWING the recent launch of their new members’ platform at the Saw and Mill, the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce is aiming to double its current membership.

To achieve this, they have embarked on a “try before you buy” initiative whereby all businesses, within the 4563 postcode, are being offered a six month complimentary membership.

In that time, new members will be able

to better appreciate the work that the Chamber does, not just for the Cooroy community, but also in promoting local businesses and encouraging business to business engagement.

By increasing its membership, the Chamber plans to become self sufficient to the extent that they can invest more back into the community whilst strengthening their support of local businesses, without reliance on sponsorships. For example, the

CCTV cameras that are installed around town, are owned by the Chamber of Commerce and maintaining them comes at a significant annual cost. Increasing its membership would mean that this expense would be shared by all those that the network provides security for.

Adding a touch of fun to the launch evening was the opportunity to introduce caretakers of the RV Stop over on Mary River Road, Marc and Di. Managed by the Chamber of Commerce under a lease arrangement with Noosa Council, taking on the facility and all the challenges that come courtesy of Covid-19, has been no mean feat.

However, there has been a significant increase in the number of visitors stopping and enjoying the hospitality of Cooroy and all it has to offer.

Di is convinced that it is all the result of her good management, and she often refers to herself as the sheriff!

So, to make it official, Chamber President, Chris Bell, presented her with her own badge, complete with appropriate bling (pictured). To join the Chamber, either go online at www.cooroy.com.au or email your interest to Chamber Secretary, Carol Christensen, at secretary@cooroy.com.au

THE residents of the western most reaches of Black Mountain Road and Crawfords Road, Black Mountain were in the thick of it on Sunday, September 6 when police tracked a stolen motor vehicle to a property near that location.

The vehicle had been stolen during a burglary offence in Tewantin earlier that day. Through the use of technology police were able to set up an extensive cordon, utilising multiple police units, to ensure the vehicle and offender did not escape.

Upon entry to the property, and as anticipated, the stolen vehicle fled the scene at speed. With the aid of road spikes, and good local knowledge by attending police, the vehicle was spiked along a dirt track meaning the tyres were instantly deflated. This left the offender no other option but to drive the vehicle down an embankment and run into dense bushland on foot.

Residents in the immediate vicinity were instructed to lock their cars and remain inside whilst the Dog Squad

took over the chase, tracking the offender through thick scrub. The bush telegraph worked a treat with the offender unable to access any unlocked vehicles or houses which was his only escape.

A 24-year-old Kin Kin man was taken into custody after he walked exhausted onto a property requesting assistance.

He was located by police and arrested with the police dog only minutes behind.

Thank you to the residents who helped out on that day and it is pleasing to see how much support for the police is still out there. Please remember to lock your houses and cars even when you are home as sneak offences are still occurring around the Coast.

Now to talk about a different type of snake or maybe that’s being derogatory towards the much-maligned snake.

During my patrols, I’ve come across two giant pythons in the last two weeks and a family of ducks in the process of crossing the road. Both in great danger of being run over by approaching cars.

On each occasion, I’ve stopped the police car and traffic and waited whilst

these handsome snakes and cute ducks went on their merry way. Sadly, I’ve also come across a number of dead snakes and other wildlife on the side of the road so can I ask for motorists to be very aware that snakes, and indeed all native animals, are on the move now that we are coming into spring.

Believe it or not, I recently came across a platypus crossing Blueberry Drive near Blackbean Court, Cudgerie late at night. That experience was truly amazing ... especially when he splash dived into the creek when he saw the big policeman approaching. He must have had a guilty conscience!

the Phillip Island Wildlife Clinic a year ago, to help save these sweet creatures from oil spills.

Even a tiny amount of oil can affect the penguins’ ability to swim and hunt for food.

Once rescued, the penguins are dressed in the donated jumpers to prevent them from preening their soiled feathers and ingesting oil.

The jumpers, which require knitters to follow a very specific pattern, also help keep the penguins warm until they are cleaned, rehabilitated and released back into the wild.

The Kindness Club children asked Mavis why she does this lovely kind deed and she replied, “I just love the little penguins and want to help them get well and go back to sea.”

Another of Mavis’ special projects is the teddy bears she has been knitting for the past 12 years.

Her adorable teddies have comforted many little ones during this time. A delightful distraction for injections and other procedures at a local doctor’s surgery.

Thank you for being so kind Mavis! You help make the world a better place!

Bendigo Bank proudly supporting NDSHS’s Mimburi Campus

WITH the COVID-19 restrictions coming into place towards the end of Term 1 this year our Mimburi staff shifted focus from working directly with visiting students and groups towards these major facilities projects such as the new deck.

The construction of this beautiful and large timber deck behind our top shed substantially increases the flexible learning zones available at Mimburi, and provides an expansive view toward the western side of the property and beyond to Kenilworth Bluff – hence the name of the “Bendigo Bluff Community Deck”.

This project would not have been

possible without the financial support of our (and your) local Bendigo Bank Branches at Cooroy and Pomona. The Cooroy, Tewantin Noosa and Pomona Community Bank branches alone have given back more than $1.1 million into local community projects to date. We were extremely fortunate to host members of the Bendigo Bank team out at Mimburi at the end of Term 2 to officially open the new Bendigo Bluff Community Deck.

Board members Toby Bicknell, David Green and Tony Freemen were joined by marketing manager, Ian Williams and Cooroy and Pomona branch manager, Sam Atholwood and welcomed to Mimburi with some Billy Tea and Damper around the Campfire where teacher, Andrew Mahony and caretaker, Stan Chandler shared the history of the property and the journey that Noosa High has embarked on since 2016.

Finally, a short tour for those that hadn’t been out to Mimburi and the official opening of the new flexible learning deck was a busy yet extremely enjoyable few hours for both school staff and the Bendigo Bank team.

It’s okay not to be okay

By Sarara Scivyer at NDSHS STATISTICS show that one in seven Australians struggle with a mental health disorder, one in six are currently experiencing depression or anxiety or both, and the average high school kid today has the same level of anxiety as the average psychiatric patient in the early 1950s.

Yet despite this, mental health has always been, and still is, a taboo subject.

Due to this, mental health, especially in adolescents, is spoken about rarely and at that, in a negative or harmful light.

The misunderstanding of the severity of mental health often stems from the stigma surrounding it. As such, this misunderstanding, or confusion, often develops into verbal comments such as, “snap out of it," “don’t be so dramatic," and “it’s all in your head”.

As a result, often those struggling mentally won’t ask for help due to fear of not being accepted, being belittled or mocked, and not being heard, as stigma and misinterpretation remains a huge barrier to people receiving the care and attention they truly need. This especially is the case for teenagers.

The acknowledgement of mental illnesses has come a long way, but for the average teen this is irrelevant if they, at any given time, are not sure of their first step in seeking help. Often teens’

interpretation of mental illnesses comes from how they are portrayed on social media and in current pop culture, where it is regularly dramatically romanticised.

As a result teens often turn to selfdiagnosis, a dangerous path as this is often incorrect. Although government funding is available for public schools, it is limited.

Despite schools’ good intentions, often adults don’t know how to communicate to teens and access their needs, especially when they distance themselves from help. However, teens benefit from hearing from others in their age group, and relating to them and their experiences.

Nevertheless, everything starts with a beginning. An awareness poster containing information or helplines, a friend to turn to, a parent to have the answers to their questions and someone to listen would all help in breaking down the toxic stigma surrounding mental illnesses and discussions about them.

So, remember: check on your loved ones, smile at strangers, ask others how they’re doing and if they tell you honestly; listen to them. And lastly, it’s okay not to be okay.

A look at Cooroy through Edna’s eyes SHE was born in Cooroy hospital 91 years ago, ran a farm off Sunrise Road growing pineapples and beans, owned the Cooroy Rag for a short period of time and was on the Cooroy Hospital board for more than 15 years.

Yes, you can’t get more “local” than our legendary, Edna Smith.

The Cooroy Rag was lucky enough to catch up with Edna recently to talk about her time as owner of the Rag (see page two) but during that interview, Edna also gave us a glimpse of what Cooroy was like back in the day, through her eyes.

Starting with her parents, migrating and settling in Cooroy in the early 1900s.

“My father was a blacksmith here,” Edna said.

“My parents came to Cooroy in 1913 from Somerset in England. They had a great uncle who had come to Cooroy.

“I think my father was only a teenager when he decided to leave England and come out to Australia and of course they were inviting young people to come to Australia then.

“He’d been a blacksmith in Frome in England and when he came to Australia his great uncle was a farmer and he didn’t want to be a farmer so he went looking for a job.

“He came to Cooroy as a blacksmith and that’s where they stayed.”

Then Edna met her to-be-husband on Noosa Beach.

“During the war, George, my husband, was in the air force. I didn’t meet him until after the war and I met him down the beach when he was a lifesaver.

“We used to go down Hastings Street on a Sunday. Bonnells used to take their truck down and we’d all sit in the back of the truck and we’d have the day down there and sit under the trees. Because we didn’t have much money, we used to take our own lunch, we couldn’t afford to buy our lunch.”

Later, all four of Edna and George’s children were born in Cooroy Hospital between 1951 and 61, going to school in Eumundi.

“Now you all call it Doonan but it’s not, it was Doo-nan in the days when there was a primary school there but they closed it down in 1950.

“My children all went to Eumundi school in Fred Clark’s bus, which was a cream carrier type thing. Not closed in, the kids sat in the back.”

Similar to the truck that picked up Edna’s copies of the Rag each week and delivered them to farms as it picked up cream to take to the Cooroy Butter Factory.

“Cooroy’s nothing like it was. It’s very different now. Some things are still the same. The tennis court is still there and the golf course, that was started in the 1920s I think and the Bowls Club was started in about 1948 after the war.”

When Edna and George came to live in Cooroy, they bought a house in Wa t t l e St r e e t , j u s t d o w n f r o m h e r parents.

And for many years, Edna was on the Cooroy hospital board.

“When it was the Friendly Society Hospital I was on the hospital board for about 15 years.”

When George passed away, Edna moved to Kauri Street where she lived for a number of years.

Stranger pays for mum’s groceries at Cooroy IGA COOROY homeowner Ellie Johns has seen first-hand just how wonderful our community is.

When the mum popped into Cooroy IGA one Monday night in late August, she said she never expected a stranger would be paying for her groceries.

“I was at the checkout when my card declined so I told the cashier I’d go back to the car and get my phone to transfer some money over.

“When I got back, the cashier said the lady behind me had paid for my groceries.

“It was about $60. I had nappies and wipes and food. It was really nice.

“To the lady; thank you, I appreciate it.

“I love the community here and how supportive it is,” Ellie said.

While Ellie doesn’t know the woman who generously helped her out, she has since paid her kind deed forward.

“I am in a woman’s community group and a lady there needed some support, so I sent her $100,” Ellie said.

Ellie and this stranger’s thoughtful actions have highlighted just how amazing is our community.

Celebrating 47 years of Rotary service MEMBERS of the Rotary Club of Cooroy have celebrated John Gabb’s 47 years of active service.

John was farewelled with a dinner at the RSL Club in late August where president Carol Johnston thanked him for his great contribution.

“He joined Rotary in Cootamundra, New South Wales in 1973 while working for TAFE and he served in many Rotary Clubs as his career progressed finally retiring and moving to Cooroy in 1993.

“John and his great contribution to many community organisations will be missed.”

John’s recent volunteering activities included Rotary Youth Driver Awareness, a project to provide high school students with the tools and understanding they need to see themselves as responsible road citizens and the Rotary and the University of the Sunshine Coast Community Fund to advance tertiary education opportunities through a partnership between Rotary and the University.

He was also active with Meals On Wheels, Cooroy Rag Community Newspaper, Queensland Ambulance, Pomona State School Breakfast Club, Noosa District State High School Interact Club, Clean up Australia Day and many more.

In 1999, John was elected District Governor for District 9600 covering part of south-east Queensland, Papua New

Snake season is here “Your online store for all things stitching”

Just a few of our beautiful fabrics

www.bonnieandrose.com.au

SPRING has arrived - and so have the snakes.

In fact, even before it was spring by date, the warm, wet weather meant the season was here and therefore, so were the snakes.

Local snake catcher Luke Huntley told the Cooroy Rag his phone started ringing with calls to catch or relocate snakes from Cooroy and surrounds in mid-August.

“A little bit of spring warmth and the snakes were out.

“I’ve already been called out to Cooroy for a couple of mating pythons and a big, brown tree snake in someone’s roof. Then to Doonan for a couple of red bellies under a deck and mating whipsnakes in Verridale.”

Then recently, Mr Huntley said he had a call from a family in a home between Cooroy and Eumundi who heard a big crash.

“It was 11 pm and I went to check it out and there was this big fella, snoozing on top of their toilet.”

Mr Huntley said spring is snake mating season and people should be on the lookout for males on the move and females holed up in their roofs.

“Often coming into breeding season people will hear bashing and sliding in their roofs and there will be two males fighting over a female.

“Or when they see a snake cruising through the yard and it is looking for something it is often a boy looking for a girl.

“The females don’t really move and the males will travel really far to find one. They will ignore everything! I’ve

BOUQUETS & BRICKBATS

BOUQUETS ON behalf of the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce, who manage the RV Stopover on Mary River Road, I would like to give a big bouquet to Noosa Council, not just for allowing us to keep the facility open but also for the temporary relaxation to the maximum number of consecutive overnight stays. This proved an absolute lifesaver to many of the grey nomads who were well and truly stranded, with nowhere to go, whilst the interstate borders have been closed.

BOUQUETS THANK you to the gentleman who waited beside my car (after my horrendous parking) and waited until I returned to move my vehicle first, so his didn’t damage mine. Big thank you.

had my hand on a five-foot eastern brown and he was ignoring me because he was so driven to get under a slab to a female.”

Mr Huntley said as it continues to warm up it is going to be his “busiest season yet”.

“I am genuinely excited for what this season brings and I love my job.”

For those that don’t know, Mr Huntley, said he grew up running around the bush lifting stones looking for snakes.

After finishing school and living in Sydney and the UK to get the “young male” out of him, he moved back to Australia and decided to “get serious” about his life.

“I was told I wouldn’t make a living out of being a snake catcher but I do and I am living the dream.”

Mr Huntley said snake catchers must have training and permits.

“There is a lot of paperwork and reports.

You can’t be a reptile enthusiast, you need to be a snake catcher and it takes years before you get quite good at it.”

Next month, Mr Huntley will share with Cooroy Rag readers how to snake-proof their yards as well as an exclusive photo of a local snake catch and relocation.

events Couple throws “wedding-not-wedding” of the year

WHEN COVID forced Mollie Tait and her fiancé Alex to postpone their wedding they didn’t let the date slip by.

Instead, the couple threw a fake wedding.

Mollie told the Cooroy Rag they waited as long as they could before postponing their August 1 wedding and when the date rolled around, they decided they would do something anyway.

“When we decided to put it off, we couldn’t bring ourselves to go to work on that day we were supposed to be married so we decided we would still do something.

“And I’m so glad we did.”

Mollie, her family, Alex’s parents and their bridesmaids and groomsmen all gathered at Mollie’s parent’s farm, Thirlestane Farm in Cooroy for the “wedding-not-wedding” of the century.

“It was so much fun.

“I’m of Scottish heritage, I grew up in Edinburgh in Scotland and Alex’s family is from Isle of Sky a few generations ago and we wanted to incorporate as much of our heritage as we could!”

“I went to Vinnies with my sister and we grabbed the first dress we saw which fit, it was a dream fake wedding dress.

“I kept the dress hidden and did a dress reveal. We got everyone outside with a drink and when I came out of the house my parents thought it was the real deal at first.

“My bridesmaids and I did a fake procession up the hill then someone dared me to somersault down, so I did.”

Mollie said it was nice to put on a dress and pretend she was getting married for the day.

“My mum put on an international feast, curry is the commonly unknown national dish of Scotland and my mother-in-law made the most delicious sticky pudding.

“Then there was a lot of dancing and a bonfire.”

Mollie and Alex plan on having a real wedding in August 2021 with a “feast in the country”.

“It will be a relaxed, long weekend with nothing formal. We just want it to be a family afternoon at this property my family built.”

Kat and Pat’s lovefest in Belli Park

Do you know where these are in Cooroy?

THREE beautiful mosaic artworks are now calling somewhere in Cooroy home.

Installed recently, do you know where these artworks are?

LOCAL gal Kathryn Chandler married her German beau, Patrick Wuertz on her parent’s property in Belli Park in late July. The loved-up couple tied the knot in a beautiful rustic/boho wedding in front of 60 family and friends, with

their children Gabriel and Josephine as page boy and flower girl.

While COVID meant that unfortunately, Patrick’s family and friends couldn’t attend, Kathryn told the Cooroy Rag they found a way to involve them anyway.

“We set up a live Zoom stream. At first, we weren’t sure it was going to work but it did, it worked perfectly and they loved it.”

Kathryn said getting married during the current global health crisis was quite an experience.

“I think it has been a challenging year for wedding vendors and couples planning their dream weddings with COVID-19 in mind.

“It taught me that no matter how organised you are, no matter how much planning and preparation you have done you still cannot control anything.

“We were lucky our wedding could go ahead pretty much the way we planned it, except for Patrick’s family not being able to attend and we’re so grateful that we could still have our wedding this year.”

Kathryn said the wedding was DYI style with all the set up by them using mostly local suppliers.

“Black Ant Gourmet in Kin Kin did the catering, our flowers came from Eumundi Roses and the cake from Corner Store Co. in Nambour.”

After meeting in Brisbane and getting engaged in Melbourne, Kathryn said it was really special to get married in the area she grew up in.

“Because we’ve spent so much time out there on that property, it has a special place for us.”

Kathryn, 27 and Patrick, 30 now live in Peregian Springs with their two children.

what’s on Cooroy artist exhibits 20 works in pop-up gallery

Paul Reynolds with one of his artworks

LOCAL artist, Paul Reynolds is having an exhibition of 20 works at a pop-up gallery in the old Commonwealth bank in Cooroy.

Paul told the Cooroy Rag people could expect to see work they wouldn’t normally see.

“There will be a lot to look at and all fairly unusual. My work is not what you’d normally see around the area. It’s a bit political and social, it’s not landscapes and still life.”

More than 20 of Paul’s paintings and drawings will be on display including five

pieces that were finalists in various competitions. “One of my works was a finalist in the McCrae, a drawing prize in Noosa, this year and another last year.”

A signwriter in Cooroy for 20 years, Paul will be a familiar face for many dropping into the pop-up gallery.

“I’ll be there the whole time.”

Paul’s exhibit runs from October 5 to 18 from 10am to 4pm.

Cooroy Woodworkers craft chairs for art trail auction THE annual Noosa Open Studios Art Trail is on again this year. The major cultural event will be held over 10 days from October 9 to 18, 2020.

Noosa Open Studios president Trevor Purvis said they have 98 artists and galleries opening their personal art space to the public during the event and a “Cooroy centric” fundraising event.

“This year we have come up with a very exciting fundraising event that is Cooroy and Hinterland centric.

“The Noosa Open Studios committee along with artist Yanni van Zijl and Tourism Noosa have engaged 30 selected artists in the Open Studios trail event this year to each paint the canvas for a beach deck chair in their unique painting style.

Cooroora Woodworkers in Cooroy are hand-making the 30 deckchairs from local blue gum.

“The deck chairs will be displayed at Butter Factory on September 26 from 10am to 3pm for a pre-auction viewing.

“Then we will hold a viewing and auction at the Noosa Botanical Gardens in Cooroy on Saturday, October 3. This auction with HinterNoosa’s help will start at the Botanical Gardens amphitheatre around midday with the auction at 3pm.

“We’d like to thank HinterNoosa Real Estate for their very generous sponsorship of this year’s and last year’s Noosa Open Studios art trail.”

Visitors are invited to bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the artist’s creations on show while bidding for their favourite artist’s piece of practical artwork.

“This unique event will showcase our local creativity to launch a new and iconic symbol for Noosa, embracing the beach and hinterland culture of the region, thereby establishing a permanent link in Noosa between beach and hinterland art cultures to all visitors,” Mr Purvis said.

During the 10-day art trail, visitors can road trip around the Noosa hinterland to visit 98 participating artists, studios and galleries including four in Cooroy: the Butter Factory Arts Centre, the Art Hub Cooroy, The Pop Up Art @ The Bank and

Bookings Essential

The Shed Door Gallery. Mr Purvis said this year’s record number of artists makes the Noosa Open Studios Art Trail the second largest art trail in Australia after only five years in operation.

“We are now the biggest art trail in Queensland and the second largest in Australia with many artists from here in the Hinterland.”

Mr Purvis recommends visitors start the trail at the historic Wallace House in Noosaville to collect a guide and view an exhibition showing one example piece from every artist on the trail.

“The volunteers at Wallace House can provide visitors with refreshments and advise them on a tailored road trip.

“Our new website will also help the visitors to the Noosa district plan their preferred artist visits throughout the hinterland.”

The Rag is your paper DID you know the Cooroy Rag is owned by you, the community and supported by the businesses that advertise in it? And did you know your Rag is quite possibly the only one of its kind in Australia?

We believe the Cooroy Rag is the only community newspaper in the country to give all of its profits, after costs, back to the community it advocates. How amazing is that?

But without advertiser support there wouldn’t be a Rag. So, let’s support the local businesses who advertise so we can continue to bring you a quality, local newspaper.

what’s on Cooroy Pink October Fundraiser

NOT to be beaten by COVID-19, the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce has elected to take their annual Pink October Fundraiser online. As a result, a Go Fund Me page has been set up, the beneficiary being the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

The event, which is in its ninth year, usually features a walk around town with participants dressed in outrageous and flamboyant outfits. Suitably attired dogs have always joined in the spirit of the event, competing for the prize of a big fresh bone supplied by a local butcher.

Unfortunately, all that has been put on hold this year, as a result of the current restrictions on gatherings and social distancing. Hopefully, the walk will be back bigger and better next year for the tenth anniversary.

In the meantime, organiser Carol Christensen is encouraging everyone to get behind this important fundraiser and make their usual gold coin donation. This can simply be done by going to the Cooroy Pink October Fundraiser at au.gofundme.com.au Alternatively, come by the Cooroy Memorial Hall on Saturday 10th October, between 7.00 am and 12.00 noon. You

won’t miss them, dressed in pink and sitting under the washing line, sporting a wide variety of pink bras in all shapes and sizes.

In addition to making a donation, you could be tempted to treat yourself to some of the freshly baked pink treats, courtesy of the local bakeries, or buy a ticket in the Pink October raffle being held on the day.

It goes without saying that this is a worthy cause, contributing to the ambitious plan by the National Breast Cancer Foundation of zero deaths from breast cancer by the year 2030.

LOCAL SUPPLIER

Owner Kay at Pomona’s Little Pantry IF there is a time we should be supporting our small local businesses, now is it. And one local business leading the charge is Pomona’s Little Pantry with the slogan “shop at a store with a door”.

Owner Kay Kelloway said by using it, she is hoping to remind people to support our local small businesses and shop locally.

“Back in the middle of COVID, Zinc FM started the slogan ‘shop at a store with a door’ and I thought it was great so I started using it on my social media pages.

"It is so important to support our small family-owned businesses and spend money in our local towns and keep our communities alive."

The Little Pantry itself is a family-

run business with Kay running the shop six days a week, husband Jeff working behind the scenes and up until the birth of her first child, daughter Bronte was also a part of the operations.

“As business people ourselves, we support other businesses in town. We also support our local farmers and producers stocking our shelves with fresh fruit and veg, homemade jams and chutneys, local pasta, muesli and more.

“We also supply other businesses in town. It all works around and we all support each other.

“I think that is important at this stage that we really push that because once you start losing one business in town and slowly the town starts to die.

“We need to be very careful to keep it going.”

The Little Pantry also supports the local community by providing employment to local residents and currently employs four seniors and two juniors and they’re all local.

Since buying what was formally known as Pomona Fruit and Ve g nine years ago, Kay has made a number of changes to grow it into what is more than a fruit and veg shop.

“When I bought it it was mainly just fruit and vege but I've evolved it to include organic fruit, veg and groceries, hair and beauty products, pantry items and more.

“We changed the name to Pomona’s Little Pantry three years ago.”

Will COVID-19 kill this club?

MEMBERS of the Pomona Tennis Club are concerned COVID-19 is going to be the death of them.

President Adrian Thompson told the Cooroy Rag they are struggling after coronavirus shut down the courts and the club’s major fundraisers.

“We have two major fundraising events a year: the hot dog stall at King of the Mountain and the main gate at the Noosa Show.

“With both events cancelled and four months of no tennis or court income because of COVID, we’re looking at a bleak future,” Mr Thompson said.

Currently, the Pomona Tennis Club earns on average $2100 a year from membership, court hire and social tennis income.

But with set annual costs of $3500 for rent,

New HinterHub for Pomona outlet

Artist makes nest in Pomona THREE and a bit years ago, artist Tia Carrigan was craving that community spirit. So she moved to Pomona.

Tia told the Cooroy Rag, “I grew up out west in a small farming community near Goondiwindi. I’ve been living in Brisbane for the last few years but I was craving that community spirit.”

After settling in Pomona, Tia opened This Bird on Reserve Street. A florist and working studio, Tia sells flowers, her artworks and other gifts.

“I deliver flowers locally and create custom arrangements for locals for pick up or delivery from Lake MacDonald through to Gympie.

“I also paint and have the shop as a working studio at the same time. I use my artworks to create gift lines that I also sell in-store. Things like, teatowels, gift cards and greeting cards,

as well as earrings that I make from painted canvas” Tia describes her art style as one with a “pop art vibe”.

“I’ve always loved colour and birds and they are the things that feature predominately. I also do a lot of florals, anything with bright colour and bold lines.”

With artworks bursting with colour, bunches of beautiful fresh flowers and lots of lovely giftwares, it’s no wonder This Bird is popular.

“I had no expectations on how the store would go when I opened but I’ve been pleasantly surprised how supportive this community is of small business and how the arts and creative industries are so appreciated and valued here. It has been an all-round great experience!”

NOOSA Landcare is in the process of upgrading and redesigning its retail outlet in Pomona.

A Noosa Landcare spokesperson said the shut-down of the outlet earlier in the year due to COVID-19 provided the opportunity to undertake some long overdue maintenance and redesign.

“As part of the upgrades and with the help of Noosa Community Training Centre’s Skilling Queenslanders for Work Construction Team, we have expanded the nursery area and redesigned the nursery bench layout and are in the process of having new shade sails and a complete repaint of the outside of the building.

“The countdown is on till we re-open what will now be known as the Noosa Landcare HinterHub.” The HinterHub is a destination where

residents and visitors can obtain information about the natural assets and land management issues of the Noosa Hinterland, source local sustainable artisan and natural history products, books and gifts and purchase local native plants.

“As part of the new approach to the site, we are currently advertising for the role of HinterHub officer who will help manage the site and make it spectacular.

“We will also be putting out a call soon for local sustainable product (nonperishables) suppliers to supply and display product. We will be looking for suppliers and products with high environmental and quality standards that fit with their vision for the centre.

“We’re looking forward to seeing everyone back at our new HinterHub space very soon!”

New slow food café growing at a cracking pace THERE’S a new café in Pomona causing quite a stir.

Local gals Zenita Wilson and Gemma Parry-Jones opened Pomona Village Kitchen in March and since then the cafe has gone from strength to strength.

Starting with just dinner service, Pomona Village Kitchen is now serving food all day, five days a week.

And it is busy all day, five days a week.

“We just launched brekky and it went really well. We have been absolutely overwhelmed by the response,” Zenita told the Cooroy Rag. A slow food express, Pomona Village

Kitchen recently received their “snail of approval”.

“Our snail of approval doesn’t mean everything is cooked slow, it means everything we use is made from scratch from high quality and healthy ingredients.

“Everything is sourced close to us. At least 80 percent is sourced locally. We use Gitsham's Butcher and Kay at the Little Pantry next door.

“We share the flower shops, we use Dingo Creek Winery, Eumundi Beer and Padre Coffee which is roasted in Noosa.”

Providing food made from locally sourced produce is an integral part of Z&G’s vision

for a “community-centric venue that caters for everybody”.

“We’re child-friendly, we have local beers, local wine, local coffee and delicious meals made from local ingredients.”

After trying meals on a rotating menu, Z&G have now taken all of the favourites and put them on a permanent menu.

“Our signature brekky dish is the mushroom stack, lunch is the smoky slow pork spud with rainbow slaw and dinner, it changes around.

“Every week we have a different curry or broth from a different country. There is a strong global influence on the menu.”

There are also plenty of plant-based, gluten-free and vegetarian options.

Open 7.30am to 8pm, Tuesday to Saturday, Zenita said they serve food all day, sit down or takeaway.

“Brekky stops at 11.30am, lunch starts at 12pm then finishes at 2.30pm with pâte and wine happy hour until dinner service at 5pm.

“We’ve got indoor, outdoor and alleyway seating, a courtyard and kids’ playroom.”

Due to COVID, seating is limited so Zenita recommends calling one of their friendly staff to make a booking to ensure you get a table.

“We’ve got a really awesome crew. We have 15 staff now, all of whom live in the Pomona surrounds.

“We’re pretty proud of ourselves for hiring and growing our business during COVID.”

WITH a warming morning tea first up, the Probus Club’s monthly meeting at the start of September was underway. It was great to be able to meet at the RSL with friends and to know about forthcoming activities like luncheons and outdoor outings.

Lilo Stadler was inducted into the club with a badge, certificate and information kit by the president, Ivy Carter.

Noosa Council representative, Emma Menzies was the guest speaker. Emma spoke of the importance of trying to eliminate the amount of rubbish we collect/throw away. Australia is one of the highest producers of waste in the world and landfill is of concern for Noosa Council as one-third of all landfill in Australia is foodstuff, which produces methane. The process of reducing the size of landfill was explained and members were given booklets and brochures to help us understand into which category certain items fall.

Recycling uses much less energy to manufacture new products than it does to produce new materials. Garden waste - from a green lid bin - is converted into mulch and available to Noosa Shire residents.

COVID makes funerals challenging

CERTAINLY, the past few months have been very challenging for many people including funeral directors.

I have to say that essentially we have been very fortunate on the Sunshine Coast with limited cases recorded compared with other parts of Qld and Australia. The restrictions have placed limitations on the number of people who are able to attend a funeral service.

I would like to mention a few things that I have noted over the past months: As a general rule people have been good responding to the constantly changing restrictions with gatherings for funeral and memorial services.

A big thank you for your patience and understanding.

Until these restrictions came in I don’t think people realised the importance of “people” at a funeral service. When we meet with families essentially we tell them that we can have nearly everything that we normally do in a service except “people”.

Dr Alan Wolfelt writes on the purposes of funerals and very high on the list is an

area that he refers to as support. He writes, “Funerals are social gatherings that bring together people who cared about the person who died. The reason for having funerals is especially important to remember, if the person who died liked to say, ‘I don’t want a funeral, don’t go to any trouble.”

Funerals are in remembrance of the person who died, but they are for the living.

Those who loved the person who died, need and benefit from having a special time to support one another in grief.”

Having a funeral or memorial or even a gathering at the pub is showing that we value human life. We value the life and influence of the person who has died and being able to express that in the funeral or memorial service is so important.

While COVID has increased our awareness that people matter in these services, it may also be a reminder to anyone preparing and planning their own farewell that while we don’t want anyone to go to any fuss over our farewell, we need to remember it is for those who remain that this gathering is so important.

Local hairdresser battles more than COVID AS the coronavirus pandemic brought lockdowns across Queensland earlier this year, local hairdresser Megan Oberholster was battling another issue.

The 28-year-old owner of a hairdressing salon in Pomona had just been told she had a brain tumour.

“I had no idea,” Ms Oberholster told the Cooroy Rag. “I came home on a Wednesday from a dance lesson with a headache and the headache just didn’t go away.

“On the Saturday night I lost all of the feeling down the left-hand side of my body. Within minutes it got worse.

“We rang an ambulance and they took me to Noosa Hospital where I had a CT scan and an interview with a stroke specialist.

“And within an hour they told me what was happening.”

Ms Oberholster said when they told her she had a tumour she was actually relieved because of her family history.

“My father died from a brain aneurism when I was six, so as bad as a brain tumour is, I was relieved.

“They said it would most likely be benign as it was a meningioma and one of the most common tumours in females but they couldn’t tell me on the day, I had to go and have further testing.

“We went to Brisbane and had an MRI and the next day, I met my surgeon.”

Ms Oberholster was told it was serious and she needed to have it removed.

“But I couldn’t have it out for three

Megan Oberholster on the road to recovery and a half weeks so I had to go back to work and try and be normal. And that is when COVID hit.

“The next three and a half weeks were constant changes. It was heartbreaking, having to ring and cancel all my clients when they brought in the 30-minute appointment rule and on our fourth anniversary too.

“Luckily, they canned that the next day, so I was able to call and booked everyone back in again.”

Meanwhile, Ms Oberholster was also informing her clients about her tumour and upcoming surgery.

“I to l d e ve ryo n e ri g h t fro m the beginning as soon as I found out about it because if you’re closed down for too long in a global pandemic people will think the worst.”

After navigating all the COVID changes, Ms Oberholster went to Brisbane and had surgery to remove a benign meningioma tumour.

“I was only under for two hours and I was supposed to be in hospital for three days but the surgery went so well, they did such a good job, that 22 hours later I was home.”

And 10 days later, Ms Oberholster was back at work.

“Physically I’ve been fine. I just had to get up and get on with it. I hated the medication but I am off that now.

“I have the slightest loss of feeling in the left pointer fingertip and that is the only physical side effect which is quite amazing.”

Ms Oberholster bought her Pomona salon in 2016, having worked in Pomona back in 2006.

“We renovated it the weekend we bought it and have made improvements every year since.

My aim has always been to create a really nice, welcoming space for our clients, and also a great work environment for both Carlee and I. “I would love to thank our wonderful c o m m u n i t y, w e f a c e d t h e c r a z y COVID-19 challenge (and more) and still we survive.”

Cooroy Ambulance THIS month we would like to highlight the Cooroy and Districts Local Ambulance Committee. Formed in 1991, the committee has been working with the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) to build community resilience with our interactive safety programs.

These award-winning programs include CPR awareness for adults, CPR for students in grades 5-6, and our primary school first-aid program “RESQ R000s” for students from prep through to grade 6.

These programs are now taught throughout Queensland and over 3,945 students on the Sunshine Coast, including Cooroy Primary, were trained in the life saving skill of CPR last year alone!

These achievements and the ability to fund our programs would not have been possible without the endorsement of the Commissioner of QAS, the generous bequests of two anonymous Cooroy residents and fundraising support over the years from local business, the community and committed volunteers.

The Cooroy Palliative care forum held late last year, was very well attended and continues to improve networking and awareness for our paramedics, patients and their families.

Summer is coming, so look out for our heat stress pamphlets in local surgeries and chemists and when safe to do so, we will again fund our health forums.

The Cooroy LAC is always looking for new volunteers interested in first aid, CPR and helping bring a connection between the community and the QAS. If you are interested, please email me on the contact details below.

Keeping your ears to the ground A LITTLE on earache, ear wax, swimmers ear treatment and ear care...

Our ears are one of the most important parts of our body, and have two important roles; they are our organ of hearing and balance. The lining of the ear canal is coated with wax, a type of lubrication that stops the tissues from drying out.

Some of the more common ear conditions we see in the pharmacy include: Otitis Media - An inflammation or infection of the middle ear. Especially common in young children. Symptoms include: ear pain, reduced hearing, discharge from ear, fever, vomiting, irritability (infants may be unsettled, wake at night, rub their ears, have diarrhoea, lose their appetite).

Ear Wax - Wax build up in the outer ear is one of the most common causes of temporary hearing loss. Symptoms include: ear discomfort, a feeling that ear is blocked or full, noise in ears (tinnitus), reduced hearing.

Otitis Externa - An inflammation or infection of the outer ear canal. Symptoms include: irritated, itchy ear, ear pain, often made worse by movements such as chewing, discharge from ear (may be smelly), feeling of fullness in ear, reduced hearing.

There are many different treatment options depending on your specific ear condition. Some of these may include: Pain relieving medicines include ear drops to soften wax, decrease inflammation and clear infection, antibiotics as prescribed by your GP, grommets - tiny drainage tubes inserted through the ear drum by your GP, ear syringing - done by a doctor, decongestant nasal sprays/tablets - these medications

can help to relieve pressure in the ear and thus decrease pain - especially useful for patients having to use air travel while suffering with an ear condition.

So I’m sure you’re wondering by now what you can do to look after your ears at home....here are a few of the lifestyle hints we like to share with our patients: Shake water from ears after swimming and bathing, use drying, antiseptic ear drops after swimming and bathing to prevent otitis externa. If you scuba dive, learn and practice proper underwater techniques to avoid potentially damaging changes in pressure inside your ears.

When flying in an airplane, swallow and yawn frequently when the plane is ascending and descending to equalize pressure in your ears.

Use water-repelling ear plugs during swimming and bathing. A warm pack or cold pack can help to relieve the ear pain.

Decongestants may help prevent ear pain when flying soon after an ear infection.

Do not poke anything into the ear canal to remove a foreign body.

Look after your ears and remember we are here to help anytime!

‘Stepping Out for Mental Health’ COOROY is ‘Stepping Out for Mental Health’. For the month of October, teams of three will be getting physical and recording their steps all in the name of mental health.

The Black Dog Institute details that mental illness is the leading cause of absence and long-term incapacity in the workplace.

By ‘Stepping Out for Mental Health’, we are alleviating symptoms of depression by increasing energy levels, improving sleep, providing social support, reducing loneliness by exercising with others and increasing a sense of control and self-esteem by taking an active role in our own wellbeing.

Teams of parents and teachers from Cooroy State School are challenging the high school, the local police, fire and ambulance as well as local businesses and organisations to get a team together and take us on. To get on board it is as easy as S.T.E.P.S. ‘Stepping Out’ kicks off on Monday the 5th of October.

Check out our promo video here https://youtu.be/TVer9muInnA Sign-up – every team member needs to register at www.10000steps.org.au Team – Email your team’s details to kholl105@eq.edu.au including your

team name, team members and each team member’s email address Encourage others to join in!

Prizes – The winning team will receive three vouchers to dine out at Jamaica Blue. Runners up will also receive prizes for their team.

Steps – To contribute to your team steps during the Tournament you will need to log steps in your own online 10,000 Steps account.

NOOSACARE’S Dementia Cafe is welcoming a social gathering for people living with dementia and their family members, friends and caregivers.

The main purpose is to provide a welcoming, stigma-free social setting where people living with dementia and their care partners can meet others and enjoy time together. Dementia affects close to half a million Australians. That number is set to double in the next 25 years. Many Australians will start experiencing the impact of dementia amongst their own family and friends in the coming years.

If we are to prepare for this increase, it is vital we clear up some of the prevailing misconceptions about dementia. People living with dementia can continue to live active and rich lives many years after diagnosis.

Dementia Action Week from September 21-27 will demonstrate that many people living with dementia can continue to live well for many years after their diagnosis.

Many continue to make significant contributions to our community, they engage, make their own choices and live rich and active lives.

To join NoosaCare’s Dementia Cafe please contact NoosaCare on 5449 8799 or email dwood@noosacare.com.au

Brilliant teamwork for Eumundi Dragons

U11 match report by team manager, Pamela Campbell Jones FROM the moment Jesse Batten caught from the kick-off and started the game with a strong run, the Dragons roared into their game against Uni at Caloundra on Saturday, September 5.

It set the tone for the rest of the first

half which was all Dragons, with brilliant teamwork and support play. They held possession for all but two plays and ran away with an imposing lead.

Uni came back strongly in the second half but the Dragons made plenty of tackles and continued their strong team game.

The Dragons dominated the scrums and every player on the team played a top-notch game, to finish the game winners. The Best Team Mate was awarded to Charlie Tie, who not only made several strong runs, but was absolutely on song with his tackles.

Impressive Dragons – well done.

U8 match report by team manager, Jero Mansell The Eumundi Dragons U8’s had a great outing against Grammar on a hot Saturday, September 5 in Caloundra.

The U8’s were on fire with Jack Cooper leading the way with a player of the day effort, running in two tries and making a number of tackles.

Henry, Hunter, Spence and Quill also made some good runs with tries resulting from good support play and passing. Zach, Finn and CJ worked hard in the tight to gain some possession and supply quality ball to the rest of the team. Excellent effort guys. Go the Dragons!

Dragons Reserve Grade home game match report by Club President, Doug Toms ON Saturday, September 5 a large crowd of rugby supporters gathered at the Eumundi Showgrounds to see the Eumundi Dragons Reserve Grade team take on the might of the top of the table Caloundra Lighthouses outfit.

The weather was very warm, the pitch

was firm and the game was played at a furious pace much to the delight of onlookers.

At the end of the match, the Caloundra team ran out comfortable winners 60-0 but none of the 100 strong crowd gathered on the hill and sidelines were disappointed with the effort put in by the boys from Eumundi.

In true Dragon’s spirit, they competed

for the full 80 minutes of playing time.

Eumundi coach, Dan Cooper, continues to be impressed by the positive attitude of the players in his squad and their willingness to learn and develop as rugby players. The team is really starting to bond well with a full squad of 23 players turning up for matches each week to enjoy all that the game “played on heaven” has to offer.

The Cougars have something to roar about in 2020

THERE hasn’t been too much to celebrate in 2020, but for the Cooroy-Eumundi Cricket Club the 20/21 season is definitely looking up! The “Cougars” will be fielding their first senior women’s team in the club’s 20 year history, marking a significant change in the club. Club president Mark Young said the club is really looking forward to playing their part in promoting women’s cricket.

“The club has really embraced the women’s team with the ladies training alongside the men. We are a real family club, so it’s great to be able to offer the mothers, sisters and aunts of existing clubs members the opportunity to play, but also any women in the community who are interested in starting up the sport” The women’s competition is new to the Sunshine Coast Region, with 20/21 being only the third season.

“Previously girls have been able to play in juniors, but haven’t had the pathway to

progress to a local senior team. This will be the start of a fantastic pathway for all the budding young girls aspiring to be the next Ellyse Perry”.

There is a very positive feel among the women at training with a few smirking smiles from some of the 30+ year olds at being referred to as “Cougars”.

If you are interested in playing cricket, whether you played as a junior or have just been the backyard tragic on Christmas day, come along to the club, meet the girls and have a go. No experience necessary. Competition starts in October with a limited overs format played on Sundays. Coaching is provided and significantly discounted registration is offered for the inaugural women’s team.

Training has already started and is 4-6pm Tuesday and Thursdays at the Cooroy Sports Complex, contact Warren Smith on 0402 141 686 or email wazzasmith1@gmail.com

Cooroy & Pomona Pony Club’s combine for a Muster

Pomona Pony Club joined forces with the Cooroy Pony Club on September 13 for a Combined Muster. Riders enjoyed some flatwork, jumping, sporting and games in general.

Noosa Pirates 2020 update

THE 2020 Sunshine Coast Junior Rugby League season is now in full swing with teams relishing the chance to pull on their jerseys and play the greatest game of all.

The support and turn out from parents and supporters has been fabulous with the majority of the mid-season games being held at Tewantin, with the final rounds of the extended season are set

to return to the spiritual home of the Pirates at Christensen Oval, Cooroy from October 2 onwards.

The Marvel Super-Hero Jerseys have been a huge hit with our U/6 to U/9 teams who look the part, as they enjoy learning the game and getting to have some fun with their mates. The U/10 to U/16 teams (special mention to our U/ 16 Girls team who do us proud every

week) are performing really well and playing some great footy, as they relish their time to play with each other.

Our competitive teams from U/13 upwards are enjoying some good success and have a good change to feature in a top four finish at the end of the year.

While it’s not always about winning, it is great to see some healthy competition and competitiveness as these teams move towards senior grades in years to come.

The future looks bright.

Finally, a big thanks again to our parents, carers, supporters and sponsors who have backed the club all the way this year through their time, effort and money. It is greatly appreciated and proves why we have such a great club and community organisation. Well done.

See you at the next home game.

property Demand for Hinterland property unprecedented, according to agency principal WHEN Robyn Kildey helped establish Countryside Realty Noosa in Cooroy nearly 20 years ago, the Noosa Hinterland was a ‘well-kept secret’, she says.

‘I fell in love with Cooroy from the get-go but it was a sleepy little town and so was Pomona’, she says.

Fast-forward 18 years and the demand for hinterland property is at record levels.

So much so that Robyn and her team of agents at Countryside are seeing properties snapped up before the listing is even

marketed. ‘The demand from Brisbane and even Noosa is like nothing we’ve ever seen before. We’re even selling properties to interstate buyers sight unseen just days after going on the market,’ she says.

According to realestate.com.au, the demand for hinterland properties is well above the state average and median house prices have increased by over 5% and 10% in Cooroy and Pomona respectively just in the last 12 months.

‘The Noosa Hinterland is one of the hottest property spots in Queensland right now’, says Robyn. ‘I guess the secret is well and truly out.’

‘OLD Cream Truck Farm ‘ 317* acres (128*ha) - Arguably not only one of Dayboro’s finest rural acreage properties but one of Dayboro’s largest rural acreage properties set on 7 titles.

Rarely in the district does a property come to the market with such gentle undulating acreage, rich fertile soils and 100% usable. While each title varies in size the fundamentals are the same.... near new fencing and water sourced from either dam or creek frontage.

Sensational double-sided river frontage from the North Pine River provides the property with permanent water, 2 water licences and

approximately 2.2 kilometres of gently flowing waters as it meanders its way through the property.

Comfortably carrying 100 head of beef cattle, the property is fenced into 18 paddocks and has established improved tropical pastures providing easy rotational grazing options.

Additional infrastructure includes the 12 x 12 shed connected to three phase power and new cattle yards built in 2017 based on the Temple Grandin’s low stress yard design and with features such as self-locking slam catcher gates, has ensured easy handling of stock over recent years.

Constructed as part of the original dairy not only has it brought life back into the dairy shed but it has provided a unique opportunity with undercover

vet crush, three phase power and lights.

If size, location and convenience is important to you it really doesn’t get much better than this. Old Cream Truck Farm is located only 2 km’s from Dayboro, 46 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD and 51 kilometres from the Brisbane Airport.

With easy access to the Bruce Highway and just 120 kilometres away you can enjoy the white sandy beaches of Noosa on the Sunshine Coast.
