WATTLE IT BE
Notes Editor’s note ... November is the hardest month. It feels like the year is speeding up – we’re running out of time to get to all of those things we’ve been meaning to do, done. It’s also a scary time for our tweens finishing primary school and teens finish high school. People are impatient, feel underappreciated, won’t stand for it, tail gate in traffic, the bills - and it’s way too hot for spring! Then there’s organising and coordinating of Christmas– it’s a huge job and a big expectation! All of Queensland is going through very busy, stressful, hot month..... but here we are in our beautiful piece of hinterland hidden from the worst of it in the cities and towns! And the people here, though we may have different opinions, are all here for the same seasons - we all love our patch. We all want a good life for our families, we all want to get to that December finish line and have a cool drink by a body of water. So... be patient with each other – smiles catch faster than colds.

Originally from Woodstock in NSW, remedial masseuse Katie Johnston landed in Eumundi two years ago after bouncing around Brisbane and the Coast for a while. “It really felt like I’d found home,” Katie explained.
The Rotary Club of Eumundi is raising funds this Christmas for the huge percentage of Queensland farmers currently suffering through drought, raffling of a basket of goodies. The funds will go to hams and Christmas cakes and puddings as well as social nights that will be held by Rotary Club of Longreach. You can buy tickets at Eumundi Village Pharmacy and Eumundi Hinterland Realty.
She’s opened a peaceful massage room above The Nest, in the old bakery and offers relaxation or remedial treatments on Fridays and Sundays. Katie has eight years of professional experience and is fully qualified. 0421 606 031

Friday 27th November 2015 - Coffee Intelligence Agency Guest Speaker: Paul Moriarty, Nambour Alliance
The Nambour Alliance has put together a host of innovative ideas that will ensure the town's growth from creative commerce to another San Francisco-inspired project called "parklets". Parklets take dead spaces like old loading zones or parking spots and convert them to edgy, art-inspired amenities for people to stop and enjoy a coffee or something to eat from a food truck. On the first Saturday of every month the Alliance host the new Track Fest markets which will include live music, food and drink. Are their spaces in Eumundi that lend themselves to a similar project?

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Freedom S creens
Andrew Bryce
What and where is your business? What do you offer? I am fortunate to offer the Freedom Retractable Screen solutions for the whole Sunshine Coast region from Caboolture to Gympie. I’m the sole distributor for Freedom and I visit clients with small working samples of our screen options and identify which one will do the best job, whether it is simply screening some bi-fold doors, helping make that kitchen servery the multifunctional hub of the home, or creating a wow factor for patios and outdoor areas with motorised screening. The best way to describe our retractable screens is to imagine a zip welded to strong flymesh (top and bottom) then rolled up like a blind and housed in a narrow, vertical cylinder that blends with the surroundings of the home. What made you choose Eumundi to base your business? Having lived in Melbourne and Sydney much of my life, my wife Janine and I were wanting an easier paced way of life. We’d holidayed here for years and gradually developed a plan to move here in 1997. After selling our national franchise group I couldn’t see myself in any role other than self-employed. It is often said that we suffer the consequence of our actions, but I think the greatest suffering results from the consequences of our inactions – we just never see them. So I’m inclined to grab opportunities when they present themselves.
Eumundi & District Historical Association (EHA) EHA Annual General Meeting
Our two lovely daughters Averlee and Evangeline have grown up here, attended local schools and now university.
EHA would like to extend a big thank you to all its members and volunteers who helped make the last year a very successful one. The members who attended the AGM really enjoyed the fabulous food by Peter & Shauna Wolfe.
What is the best thing about working on the Coast? Undoubtedly the weather. Family in Melbourne often get sick of me saying the weather here is fine – 11 months of the year! We have the freshest of produce easily available, wear mostly casual clothes, and our homes are inside/outside. Add to that the love of family and the ingredients of a good life are all here. I spend quite a bit of time in Brisbane now and really appreciate the freedom of movement we still enjoy here. By car, by bike, by boat, by train, by plane, it is all abundantly easier than if in a capital city.
Eumundi School of Arts HoneyBird Plays Metropolis Sat 5 Dec - 6.30pm
What is the worst thing you’ve found about working here? People come and go perhaps … They might settle with a dream and sometimes find it hard to make it work. Perhaps we are a little too vehicle-centric. Dr Karl said the other day that even if we covered the earth with trees again it still couldn’t absorb the carbon we presently emit – that struck me! How lucky we are to have so much that is green around us.

Better schools, hospitals, roads – the usual stuff, but I actually think that is all pretty good. I’m glad Noosa got its own identity back – a win for common sense, at least for most who live within it. Safe and more dependable public transport is probably in need for many of our young and not so young. We have the tyranny of distance to overcome before that happens, perhaps clean technology will deliver on this one day.

EUMUNDI POLICE UPDATE Sgt John Delandelles Apologies for not contributing over the past month, I was back in Noosa attending to other duties. I am back until at least mid-January, when Blair returns from long service leave. There has been plenty going on behind the scenes to upgrade Eumundi Police Station to four officers. The shortlisting of applicants has been completed and with any luck there should be four officers operating out of Eumundi Police Station, either late December or early next year. The Officer in Charge position will be advertised at some stage in the near future. The application and selection process can take anywhere from three to six months. I intend staying for as long as my supervising Inspector wants me to, but I also have a position at Noosa Station and my boss there is keen for me to return. Eumundi is a lovely community and I will be sad to leave, if it comes to that.

Traffic issues – Eumundi State School. Parents are still stopping in driveways, bus zones and double parking in order to drop-off and pick-up their children from school. Where does the bus stop if a vehicle is parked right in the middle of the bus zone? How can a cyclist proceed safely when the bicycle lane is blocked by a person double parked? Take the extra time required to park lawfully. At the end of the day, wouldn’t you rather be five minutes late, than be responsible for the death or injury of one of our children?

A link to the bridge After an onsite meeting at the Eumundi Range Rd bridge it was evident to me that the failing bitumen footpath leading up to the bridge needed a complete makeover. I have allocated an additional sum of money from Council’s Division 9 divisional fund to replace it with a wider concrete footpath that provides easy user friendly access to the new bridge. The bridge is on track to be complete in December.

Recent Environment Levy outcomes were of particular interest, including the 480ha of land we’ve secured for environmental purposes from the Palmview Infrastructure Agreement and our Land for Wildlife (LFW) program. There are 866 LFW properties in the Sunshine Coast Council area, which makes it the largest LFW program in Australia.
Community A I R P O R T E X PA N S I O N O P E N FOR COMMENT Public submissions on the Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project’s Additional Environmental Impact Study (AIES) is now open until 30 November. Mayor Mark Jamieson said it was important the community had access to correct information so they were fully informed on the project and knowledgeable about any claims being made. “Council has welcomed the State Coordinator-General’s advice that the community will have an opportunity to comment on the AEIS,” Mayor Jamieson said. The Coordinator-General had advised that council’s AEIS had substantially addressed the issues raised in submissions received during the earlier Environmental Impact Study. “As a result, there have been no material changes to the proposed airport expansion project,” Mayor Jamieson explained. “The AEIS provides detailed responses to issues raised by the community and government stakeholders during the EIS

public notification period which concluded in November 2014 and I encourage the community to review the document,” he said. Mayor Jamieson also stated that due to the runway realignment, 3500 fewer dwellings will be affected by noise each day in 2020. The AEIS will be displayed on the Office of the CoordinatorGeneral’s website, customer contact centres and libraries, Noosa Shire Council office and its council libraries, State Library of Queensland and National Library of Australia during the public notification period until November 30. Mayor Jamieson said any comments, questions or submissions should be directed to the Office of the CoordinatorGeneral during the public notification period.

W hat I lo v e – D ancing Lily Hutchinson, Year 2, ESS Ignite English I am in the spotlight, I am really nervous. I am wearing make-up and I am dressed in a costume that makes me look like a genie. I start moving like a miracle. I do the graceful leap. I am about spin and…. I DO IT! Everybody is cheering for me. I do the splits in the air and finish all the other moves of the dance. I love dancing. Learning to dance takes a lot of work but it is super fun. At my dance school we do a warm up first then we get into the class. I dance there two times a week, but more when I have to do exams. Dancing is my favourite thing to do. Jazz and ballet are my specialities. Mrs Ditchfield is my ballet teacher and Miss Meg teaches me jazz. My ballet dance is about little fairies dancing with a queen. I am a genie in my jazz dance. All of my teachers make dancing great fun and I learn
lots of new things. My dream is to become a famous dancer when I grow up. I would love to be on the stage in front of a crowd of people, wearing a beautiful costume. For now, I love having chocolate after every lesson. That is why I love dancing.

Little passionfruit and coconut cakes Liesl Doery
These sweet, little cakes are a little bit naughty and a little bit nice, a little sweet and a little sour, and a little bit hard to stop at one! I found this delicious recipe in Super Grains by Chrissy Freer – and have made it my own! ‘Super grains’ are complex carbohydrates that provide slow released energy and getting more super grains into your diet can be really beneficial in a number of ways; they’re a great source of soluble fibre that increase satiety, and they stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria and digestive enzymes. But many people find the idea of a dietary overhaul too overwhelming to even contemplate. Does, “How do I cook with Quinoa?!” sound familiar? This recipe contains quinoa flour instead of wheat flour and uses up some of the limes and passionfruit I have in abundance in spring.

Brush-tailed Phascogale Two VIP’s (very important patients) are currently at the Rehabilitation Centre. They are Brush-tailed Phascogales and are becoming quite rare. Very few people would have even heard of these small marsupials let alone have the thrill of seeing them. Two small juveniles were brought to the Centre by locals from two adjoining properties. Cats had caught the creatures, presumably as a gift to their owners. They came from the Cooroy/Belli Creek area which is wet sclerophyll forest. Carer Vicki took them home for 16 days until they adapted to their new surroundings and were able to feed better. They weighed just 24g when they arrived. They are high octane creatures and very difficult to rear so Vicki has done a splendid job. They are now back at the Rehab Centre and at the latest weigh-in are 51g and 41g. They are being fed a wide range of food including crickets, meat (ox heart), fruit (apple & grapes), meal worms, fly
larvae and boiled egg. In the wild they search out spiders, a variety of insects and nectar. When fully grown they are about the size of a sugar glider with a total body size of 200mm and that includes very bushy black tails. Phascogales are a soft grey and have a pointy little face and very sharp teeth. Once again the lesson here is PLEASE KEEP YOUR CATS INDOORS AT NIGHT! The phascogales will soon be moved to larger quarters (an outdoor aviary) for about two weeks before they are sent back to where they came from. We wish them well.

EUMUNDI RURAL FIRE BRIGADE N ews Duncan Sayers, Eumundi RFB fficer The Eumundi Rural Fire Brigade had a fire-call to Yandina Creek a couple of weeks ago – the first in quite a while thanks to the regular rainfall we have been receiving. It was a reminder that despite the green tinge to our landscape, a risk of wildfire still remains if you’re not careful. In the case of the Yandina Creek incident, the fire started from a stack-burn and ended up threatening a number of houses. So if you need to conduct a burn-off, contact your fire warden for advice and a permit. I know it seems like a bureaucratic pain in the “you-know-what”,
but imagine if the brigades attending the Yandina Creek fire hadn’t managed to rein it in, and those houses – or worse - got burnt. Better safe than sorry! Fire Warden Finder: ruralfire. qld.gov.au/fw_finder.asp We’ve had a couple of new recruits to bolster our numbers recently which indicates that Eumundi’s community spirit is alive and well. More are welcome of course, so if you want to be part of the brigade give me a ring or simply show up on one of our training nights (First and third Tuesday of every month at 7pm). 0402 321 526 15

Rob Birse, Biodynamic gardener After looking, in my previous articles[issues 230 and 228], at the importance of building healthy soil and garden preparation, I would like to round off this theme by sharing some techniques which will help maintain soil health and fertility - ensuring fewer pest and disease problems as well as the production of high quality produce.
COOL CHOOKS FOR SUMMER! Chickens are very sensitive to heat so our climate on the Sunshine Coast can cause much stress if the temperature goes above 30C. Along with providing plenty of shade, there are some other things you can do to try to limit heat stress and possible death. If your property doesn’t provide a lot of natural shade from trees then you need to create these areas for your chooks. A shade cloth is an excellent way to reduce heat in the coop and if you leave an air gap in between it will be even cooler. You can also make shady areas using things you have in the yard. Insulating the roof and walls also creates a cooler climate inside the coop in winter and summer. Water is crucial for chickens throughout the day whatever the season. Hens use a lot of water to produce their eggs so if they are laying then increase their water supply and have a water feeder near the nesting box. As a guide, allow a minimum of 500ml (half a litre) per chicken every day. On really hot days, refresh with cool
water at midday and place ice cubes and frozen vegetables in the water. A light sprinkle with the hose when a chook looks in distress (wings out, standing still, panting) can be the saving grace. Kelp has some great mineral properties that help with overall health and it is also recognised in reducing stress. Adding kelp to the feed during and after a moult, and in hot weather, may assist your chickens in dealing with the Sunshine Coast’s sub-tropical weather. Ensuring your flock has a good diet throughout the year will also strengthen their immunity and enable them to deal with stress more easily. Feeding vegetables that have been in the fridge and are higher in water content all add to reducing heat stress. Watermelon is great but iceberg lettuce - other dark green and red lettuces are good and chooks love them! Alternatively, bring your chickens into an air conditioned room or a shed that is insulated and they can relax in luxury! citychicks.com.au
Good humus levels in the soil (as discussed in issue 228), is number one. The ideal way to achieve this in the home garden is through the addition of good quality compost. Unless you are a composter with some experience, the products of home compost heaps are often inferior. I will devote a future article to composting as it is a satisfying and enlivening process so long as a few basic rules are observed. Worm castings are another excellent way to add humus to the soil. Try a good commercial product such as Searles 5 in 1 or some of the Nutri-tech products. Crop rotation is another important technique I employ. This does require an understanding of the crops you intend to grow and their nutrient requirements, but it’s crucial in preventing disease build-up and transmission in the soil. Some plant families are particularly susceptible to disease transferred from one crop to the next. The Solanaceae family (tomatoes, capsicums, eggplant, potatoes etc) should never follow one another in the same bed. Similarly for the Brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, Kale, Asian greens etc).
produce excess leaf growth at the expense of fruiting. • Root crops are very light feeders, if planting them at the end of the above sequence do not even compost. Mulching – It has been my experience over the years that using a nitrogen-rich mulch such as lucerne enhances the fertility of the soil, whereas high carbon mulches tend to rob nitrogen from the soil. For this reason I endeavour to initially use a light cover of lucerne just to protect the soil surface while encouraging a green mulch of low growing weeds, clovers etc, to cover the soil surface. Encouraging weeds may sound counter intuitive, but when we realise that nature abhors bare soil and that whenever we have plants growing they are sending sugars down to their roots to feed the soil microorganisms, it begins to make sense. The art is in monitoring the weed growth so that they don’t overwhelm our garden plants. More on weeds and composting next month. Until then, happy gardening.
The planting sequence I endeavour to follow is: legumes – leaf crops – fruit /flower/seed crops – root crops.

This is where an understanding of plant nutrient requirements comes in. All plants benefit from balanced soil minerals, but some are lighter feeders than others. • Legume crops fix their own nitrogen and are light feeders. • Leaf crops are heavy feeders, so give them plenty of compost and supplementary liquid fertilisers. • Fruiting/seeding crops are light feeders so compost only – too much nitrogen will

wattles very difficult to identify with certainty – some of their features such as leaves, bark, flowers and size are close to identical. Many of the local residents don’t have that problem: if it’s a tree it must be a Black Wattle and if it’s a bush it’s “some other kind of wattle”.
Late winter and spring is when many of the acacias flower. Some of our roadsides have recently turned into avenues of gold. There are about 1300 species of acacia worldwide of which around 1000 species are Australian, where we usually refer to them as wattles. The rest are found mainly in Africa, Madagascar and SE Asia. Acacias are arguably the best known and widespread of Australian flora, even if we don’t recognise them by name. Large interior tracts of central Queensland are covered in Brigalow. In the poorer soils right across inland Australia the predominant vegetation is Mulga. Desert travellers know not to camp alongside a Gidgee which has a scent like a box of kitty litter used by a thousand cats. All three are wattles and have a number of subspecies. Better known are the Cootamundra Wattle with its purple foliage with profuse yellow flowers and the Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha) with profuse golden-yellow balls of flowers. Unfortunately neither of these two iconic species does well here in our warmer, more humid climate. The Golden Wattle of course is the designated national flower of Australia. In SE Queensland there are up to 80 species and here in our own area we have about 20. They come in different shapes and sizes ranging from low ground covers to large trees, with the majority being large bushes or small trees. Most have yellow flowers: some have cream and a few have white. We find many

A major feature of acacias is that the majority don’t have leaves. That doesn’t seem correct when you look at them. The leaf-like structures are actually modified leaves known as phyllodes. These are really flattened leaf-stalks which carry out the functions of leaves, including photosynthesis. Many wattle seedlings do have genuine leaves during the first part of their growth. These true leaves are generally bipinnate (fern-like, with the leaves twice divided on the leaf stalk). The size of phyllodes, depending on wattle species, ranges from minute and barely visible to over 25cm in length. Some have become modified into sharp spines – the genus name Acacia is derived from the Greek word for sharp spine. The white-flowering “Prickly Moses” is a local example. Another “Prickly Moses” has small triangular phyllodes and yet another one, introduced from Central America, has spines and is one of the few acacias to have true leaves.
Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens
There are too many species to cover them all. Growing naturally on our property in areas where the soil is poor and rocky are a few Black Wattle trees (Acacia melanoxylon), a few scraggly A. oshanesii, and several midheight flat-stemmed wattles (A. complanata). This last species has profuse golden-yellow flower balls in spring and autumn.
Time is running out to nominate a local hero for the 2016 Sunshine Coast Australia Day Awards. If you know a person, community group or organisation worthy of recognition; nominate them via Council's website before 11 December.
The local Native Plants Nursery has a number of other species and can give good advice on “what does well where”. An evolutionary aspect that intrigues us is the mode of seed dispersal. Many native wattles have tiny seeds which fall out of the pods and are carried around by ants. By contrast, some of the African acacias have large seeds which are dispersed by elephants. 17

Letters A NICE HOME IN EUMUNDI I’m a Eumundi local – most will know me as the guy with one arm who walks his dog around town. I purchased one of the four blocks being developed bordering Cook St and Caplick way, opposite Eumundi State School. When I purchased the land it felt good to be able to build a nice home in Eumundi and at the same time assist in making the development into something the town would be proud of. I never thought in my wildest dreams that some locals would be so against a private development that will ultimately beautify both streets and I suspect, add value to the Cook St properties. Last week a person(s) placed three branches across the road outside the school entrance, painted derogatory comments on the road and defaced the workers equipment. Firstly, we can be thankful it didn’t cause an accident, also I don’t think the kids need to be exposed to that either. As for the workers, they are just doing their job and don’t need daily abuse. It was a Council requirement that the pines and camphor laurels be removed as they
are regarded as significant environmental weeds. 300 native plants and trees are being planted to replace them around the boundary. I would just like everyone to wait and have a look at the end result and then compare it against what was there. Brian, Eumundi.
DESTRUCTIVE AGENDA Congratulations to the regulators who required the destruction of the mature stand of pine and other trees that had become a feature of the northern end of the Eumundi township. No doubt there is a great feeling of satisfaction that around four hundred tonnes of sequestered carbon can wander back up into the atmosphere from the mulch to come back as carbon dioxide and dissolve a few more coral polyps with increased acidification in the Great Barrier Reef. Don’t worry about all the nesting spots and the furry friends now left town or dead. The mindless “purist” planning outcome of removing these trees was stupid beyond belief. The concept of removing non-native trees is ridiculous in the middle of a town where we have non-native roads, houses, buildings, businesses, transmitter towers, rail
lines, civil excavations and people. Now we have the spectacle of scorched earth rather a great mature stand of pines. If anyone has seen an old pine forest stand they could not help but feel in awe of such wonderful trees, the Domain in Auckland has some brilliant examples, not quite as good as Redwoods of the Pacific Coast but close. Dismissal of the trees as Slash Pines is ignorant. The Council should review this destructive “social engineering” agenda and strike it out to align it with climate change policies to give long term beneficial outcome to our community and the globe seeking carbon sequestration rather than just a feeling of smug satisfaction to a narrow minded planner through eliminating genetic diversity. Councillor Rogerson’s defence of this decision with an indication that the developers will plant endemic species shows little understanding of ecological processes, replacement of the ecosystem will not happen for another fifty years and the espoused benefit of safer parking for the school drop-off area required very limited tree trimming. Dave Campin, ecologist and engineer, Eumundi.
