2016 has zoomed by at the rate of knots and with that we have seen a healthy and steady rise in the market conditions. 2017 won’t be much different, gradual growth as more people move to our beautiful hinterland. It’s been a pleasure working with you again this year and I wish you all a safe and happy festive season and prosperous New Year.

Notes

A HINTERLAND MOMENT

Heard in the hinterland...

Humid days, thunderstorms, balmy nights, morning swims, beer gardens, sultry soundtracks, cool breezes, nanna naps, night markets, present shopping, barbeques, baking, bandicoots, exhausted kids, odd jobs, reno projects, hens with heatstroke, packed Post Office, end-of-year concerts, parties, catch ups - December has arrived in the hinterland!

It’s a beautiful, extrememly busy time of year – don’t forget to stop and enjoy the sparkling lights... and champagne cocktails.

And as Eumundi transforms on market days from a sleepy, country town to a tourism hub, remember to smile at the blow-ins and stay classy Eumundi!

2016 ECCO snapshot

Experience Eumundi front and centre.

2016 has been a big year for your community organisation.

Our carpark welcomed more than 100,000 cars carrying 300,000 visitors to our world famous markets. This friendly and welcoming parking service generated an operating surplus that not only enabled donations of $60,000 to local not-for profits but also repatriated around $200,000 into community, business and cultural initiatives - including funding for our brilliant rickety bridge at Caplick Park Playground, the Spirit of Orb sculpture honouring our brave ANZACs at the Eumundi Amphiteatre, Sunshine Coast Horizon Festival, Eumundi School of Rock, “Meet, Make, Share” Friday animations - and a significant contribution to the pending 2017 Terraces $1.4million redevelopment.

Carpark profits also assist in keeping our beloved Green in print, communicates Eumundi events and special activities via our popular Facebook pages websites and e-blasts, manages a very propular RV stopover as well as providing an inexpensive shopping trip and other special transfers for Eumundi folk with our community bus.

To promote and encourage tourism and business opportunities that enhance Eumundi and its surrounding areas, Experience Eumundi is engaging with key tourism and cultural bodies such as Visit Sunshine Coast, Tourism Noosa, Sunshine Coast Creative Alliance, SC Council and other stakeholders to elevate awareness of Eumundi as a place of great value. Not only as the Sunshine Coast’s biggest tourist attraction, but also a viable business community and a friendly village of great liveability.

As part of elevation of “brand” Eumundi, 2017 sees Eumundi Combined Community Organisation Ltd (ECCO) starting to trade as Experience Eumundi.

We are also undertaking trademarking of this iconic brand and logo.

The garden showcases their striking metal sculptures and Kin Kin Native Bees. Viewings by appointment 0488 426 392.

Long time Eumundi local of seventeen years, Michelle Shaw, has just given her Memorial Drive business a vibrant revamp with a bright orange shopfront and signage. Michelle took over as owner of Affogato Gelateria at the beginning of this winter and wanted to take her time giving the shop a makeover that reflected Eumundi’s vibe.

“I wanted to create a mellow zone with comfy sofas overlooking all the action on

market days and a garden courtyard which feels like it’s far from the busy main street front.”

“We’ve also created a book swap shelf and introduced a range of treats for our fur and feathered friends from a local baker; gelato shaped dog treats, carrot horse treats and chook lollies,” she shared.

Michelle is looking forward to locals discovering her 20 flavours of delicious Colin James gelato and sorbet over the summer.

Community EUMUNDI POLICE UPDATE

CR GREG ROGE RSON Division 10

Sgt Brooke Flood, Eumundi Police 5442 8222 It is that time of year where we see an increase in traffic on our roads as the school holidays approach. Eumundi police along with all other officers across the state are preparing for the Christmas holiday period which is one of the worst times of the year for serious road crashes and deaths.

The “Fatal Five” will be actively enforced; driver inattention, speeding, drink driving, not wearing a seatbelt and driving while fatigued.

Driver inattention is quickly rising as a major cause of traffic crashes. Too many drivers are being distracted while on the road by things such as mobile phones, complex sound systems, on-board DVD players and Satellite navigation, to name a few.

Police will be out in force over

the Christmas holiday period, the community’s safety is our priority and we will continue to target drivers who break the law. Police will be ultilising covert and marked mobile speed cameras, marked and unmarked police patrols, fixed speed cameras, hand-held speed detection devices and the automatic number plate recognition system.

If you speed, drink drive, don’t wear a seatbelt, do not pay attention or drive while tired, you will not only be caught by police, but you risk your life and the life of every other road user, and that is just not acceptable.

My message is simple; stop and think about what your family would do without you this Christmas and every Christmas to come, before you take risks on the road.

At long last a lease agreement with conditions has finally been sorted out between Council and ECCO and the two sub lessees, EHA and EDCA. The tender for the “Terraces Project” is expected to be put to the market within the next couple of weeks and anticipated to be awarded late January/early February.

Once the tender is ready for awarding, all documents pertaining to the Eumundi Terraces and the Lease Agreement, will be signed and sealed at the same time.

Whilst I’m “cock a hoop” at the thought that after numerous years in the making, we have finally found common ground.

I’ll save the popping of the champagne cork until the final signing date. Fingers, toes and eyeballs crossed!

I believe this new retail hub in Eumundi that will incorporate outdoor design elements, as well as a piazza area for the gathering of locals and visitors to connect with each other and their surrounds, will be a great addition to retail trading in Eumundi. The Hub will provide the local community with a convenient and eco-accredited grocery store, with its size and scale in keeping with the Eumundi Townships character.

Local farmers will be sourced for stock with chemical free food being given priority. Other ground floor tenancies will cater for more refined foods, deli items and specialty foods including restaurants and café style outlets. Upstairs there will be space for professional offices and Holistic Health experts, Cont’d on pg 8

Community FIRST NIGHT MARKETS Christmas well and truly arrived on a balmy Eumundi night last Friday with the first of the Christmas Night Markets. Eumundi’s Memorial Dr and Dick Caplick Park playground were decked out in sparkly lights and lovely lyrical music filled the streets thanks to local muso Tobias strumming on the street at Berkelouw CafÊ. The festivities also included Santa in a fire truck passing out candy canes, fire twirling, a free outdoor movie screening and lots of multicultural food.

Arts OLD FRIENDS – NEW ART

TREE PLACE EXHIBITION & WORKSHOPS

Ceramic artist Andrew Bryant and painter Ian Gunn both once called Eumundi home and continue to have strong ties to the area.

Their friend Michael Ciaverella, who is a former ceramic teacher and now co-owner of Berkelouw Cafe, recently approached the duo inviting the talented artists to showcase their work in the eclectic space on Memorial Drive.

Imagine an ancient tree falls across a road in Doonan and is destined to become wood chips - but you can save its stories, collected over hundreds of years, from being lost forever. A chance encounter one morning with a fallen giant, has inspired a body of work for Eumundi artist Anne Harris that is ongoing and collaborative. She will be holding a Pop up Exhibition entitled Tree Place from 7 -18 January at the Noosa Regional Gallery and running workshops for kids, teens and adults, in early January.

Andrew Bryant has taught ceramics for twenty years and his recent pieces explore the idea of an inner anatomy within simple ceramic forms.

Books DISCOMFORT A GOOD THING WITH GARNER I’ve just finished reading Helen Garner’s latest collection of essays, Everywhere I Look.

Her previous nonfiction works include Killing Daniel (1993), Joe Cinque’s Consolation (2004) and This House of Grief (2014), an account of the trials of a man accused of murdering his three children. I admit Garner’s writing has sometimes made me feel uncomfortable: she doesn’t let the reader, or herself, off the hook with easy access to emotion or relatability (or, God forbid, sentimentality!). But after reading this collection, I’ve decided discomfort is a good thing.

I previously read one of the essays The Insults of Age in a journal and strongly identified with much of what she said.

Then, just as I started to get comfortable, she described an incident that made me question her sanity - even though I could understand the impulse behind it. I want to identify with her perspective but find her almost perverse in her unwillingness to let me do so. I’m aware that this says as much about me as it does about her. She is writing to her own private, intense standards rather than popular appeal. Honest to the point of brutality at times, these

Judith Pattison

essays are also full of surprises, humour, whimsy and warmth, covering her lifelong and secret attachment to the ukulele; favourite writers (Raimond Gaita, Elizabeth Jolly, Janet Malcolm, Jane Austin, Barbara Baynton, Tim Winton); a perfect interview with Rosie Batty; the story of her first doll; life with her grandchildren; and a wonderful essay about her mother. On the surface these essays are unconnected, but together they form a deeply satisfying mosaic.

From Insults of Age: “But my warning stands. Let blood technicians look me in

the eye and wish me good morning before they sink a needle into my arm.

Let no schoolchild in a gallery stroll between me and the painting I’m gazing at as if I were only air. And let no one, ever again, under any circumstances, put to me or any other woman the moronic question, ‘And how was your shopping?’”

BOOK EVENTS Meet the author sessions at Berkelouw this fortnight include: local chef Dale Chapman presents her cook book Coo-ee Cuisine using local bush tucker on Fri 9 December at 11am.

At 7pm the official launch of Holden On, a photographic book created by Eumundi’s John and Viki Murray and

Molly: The Cities book is about a heap of different cities around the world which show their own unique specialties and include a lot of amazing factual information about their city.

What was your favourite part and why?

Evie: Learning about all the different cities and what makes them unique. I also enjoyed reading about the really interesting facts that I didn’t know before.

Molly: The book made me feel amazed and excited. I was

really taken on an adventure around the world, from eating extravagant food to being in festivals. It was an amazing thing to picture inside my head.

What type of kids do you think would like reading this book?

Molly: I think anyone who likes reading and can form a picture in their head are especially allowed to read and enjoy this wonderful book. It is very informative about the cities around the world. Made me want to travel!

How many stars out of five would you give this book?

Evie: I liked this book very much, it was awesome! I will give it 4½ stars.

Molly: I loved it how the information was set out with the pictures. It was so cool. I am going to give a 4 ½ because the writing taught me a lot of things I didn’t know and the pictures were amazing. But maybe there could have been a few more pictures and a bit less writing.

Reading is relaxing. Normally most kids don’t like reading and they say that reading is boring. I usually read fiction books, fantasy and crime thrillers. I read in the

Did you know that reading makes you smart? It is great because you get your own bedside lamp. Most books are super interesting but some are not. It makes time go by very quickly. TURN OFF THAT TV AND PICK UP A BOOK! What books do you read? If you are bored just pick up a book.

Health BRINGING YOGA HOME

Bec Simpson

There is nothing quite like that post yoga glow!

But the yoga buzz can wear off pretty quickly!

As a Yoga Teacher I get asked a lot about home practice. People often think they need expensive props and an hour of uninterrupted silence -yeah right! There are actually endless ways to bring yoga into your everyday life. It doesn’t need to be a physical practice - and you don’t even need a yoga mat. the grass, sand Create a morning ritual or dirt under It can be as easy as lighting a your feet. It’s a candle and setting an intention perfect way to for the day or sitting at the end connect with of your bed and taking five deep, the earth and nourishing breaths. Whatever it remember is for you, (be creative) make sure that we are part of something it is something you can do no bigger than ourselves. matter where you are.

Breathe

Move If you are lacking the motivation to practice yoga, try putting on your favourite song and give yourself permission to move in any way you feel guided. It doesn’t have to look like “yoga”.

Simply get out of your head and connect to your body.

Go barefoot Our feet are our foundation. Try standing (or slowly walking) with intention. Focus on the feeling of

Stand, sit or lie down and place both of your hands on your lower belly. Breathe deeply through your nose and send your breath down into your lower lungs. Focus on the rise and fall of your belly. Just a few minutes a day can work wonders!

simple enough, but our lives are filled with distractions that can take us out of the present moment. Try giving yourself an hour a day where you unplug from technology and spend time enjoying the simple things.

Sweet chestnut ravioli Anna Pompetti

EUMUNDI’S NIGHT MARKETS

Xmas lights up in Eumundi!

• Memorial Drive lights • International street food • Street performers • Enchanted Forest The sweet chestnut ravioli are traditionally from the central east coast region of Abbruzzo where I was born. They have a lovely thin flaky pastry and filled with a mixture of chestnut puree, cacao, rum, and, of course, strong black coffee. They are particularly good for people who like strong flavours - the more adventurous cooks like to add some nice strong liqueur.

Ravioli are eaten at all times of the day and night around Christmas and are made by the bucketful. There’s always a full plate on the table to enjoy with coffee or after dinner while reminiscing. I like to make them for the male friends and relatives as they seem to appreciate them very much ... must be the alcohol and coffee!

Pastry Ingredients • 3 eggs • Pinch of salt • 100 ml vegetable oil • 100 ml white wine (not sparkling) • 50 ml milk • 500 g plain flour Filling • 600 g chestnut paste • 150 g raw cacao • 150 g castor sugar • Grated rind of 1 lemon • 2 shot glasses rum • 1 shot glass strong coffee • Oil for frying • Icing sugar for decorating Preparation Start by preparing the filling (This can be done the day before and kept in the fridge).

In a large bowl, put chestnut puree then add other ingredients one at a time, mixing well until a smooth paste. Taste mix and adjust

sugar and/or alcohol/coffee to personal taste. Cover bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate.

Pastry Place flour in large bowl and make well in centre. Add eggs and salt and incorporate into flour using a wooden spoon or your hands. Slowly add other ingredients one at a time until mixed well.

Pastry should be smooth and elastic.

Should pastry be too soft, incorporate flour a little at a time while kneading until you get to a good consistency.

Cover pastry and rest for 30 mins.

Roll out pastry to a 2-3 mm thickness.

Cut into 10 diameter rounds.

Use biscuit cutter or large glass.

Put a teaspoon of filling in centre of each round and then fold over.

Press the ends together with fork.

Outdoors THE FUTURE OF FOOD PRODUCTION At fourteen Bayley Pilling feels he has already found his calling: to change the world one carrot at a time. And he’s already off to an impressive start. Growing up at his parent’s Doonan nursery, Bayley has always been surrounded by plants.

Recently, the year 10 student at St Teresa’s combined his love for growing organic food with his love of film making. Bayley’s first documentary The Future of Food Production was short listed and screened at the recent Noosa International Film Festival. The film investigates how the current system of food production and conventional agriculture is failing us and there is only one way forward – a shift in understanding about what is healthy food.

Bailey’s short film is one of hope. It features a number of hinterland locals who are instigating real change through teaching, farming and sourcing sustainable food, including his former Eumundi State School science and permaculture teacher Jon Gemmell, NutriTech Solutions CEO Graeme Sait, biodynamic gardener Rob Birse and permaculture farmer and co-founder of PRI Sunshine Coast, Tom Kendall. All share critical messages about the importance of healthy soil, as well as growing and eating your

own nutritious, organic food.

The documentary also shares insight into Doonan businesses Shambhala Farm and Sunspace Cafe who are actively making a difference growing and producing food for our community. The Green asked Bayley to give some insight into his documentary.

Why is the future of food production important to you?

I feel the importance and recognition of the production and growing segment of food and what it is has been lost.

When I look at the current state of how our food is grown, it is some part disheartening, but at the same time it has sparked an impulse within me to change the way things are. Our farmers have the most important job on this planet, but are paid at nearest to the least. To see how the food chain has driven our food growers to eradicate the soil’s health and vitality, interfere to genetically modify with nature’s perfection and poison our food, I cannot accept that to be the way our food is grown. That’s why I am such a supporter and activist of growing our own food. The enriched benefit of home grown food is simply endless; it is the best food you can get, taking in mind that corn loses 40% of its nutrition 20 minutes after harvest with food kept in storage for years before they reach the supermarket, but I can go into my garden and pick a nutrient dense piece of food for the nourishment for my family – that’s why this topic is important to me. youtube.com/ watch?v=4Sec7l9rj6A eplants.com.au/plant-finder

EUMUNDI BUSHCARE GROUP

Shane Christensen, Garden Artisan.

I’m a local wood sculptor and gardener and I’ve recently created a Facebook page to assist the wildlife carers of the Sunshine Coast. Every day, volunteer wildlife carers have to provide food for their orphaned or injured wildlife.

The volunteers drive around to parks and forests to collect suitable food. From my years of gardening work, I’ve seen tons of suitable food being taken to the dump. What’s more, garden businesses and garden enthusiasts pay money to dump green waste. So the Facebook group, Green Waste for Wildlife’ was created to bridge this gap.

So far there are 75 members,

Kim Morris, Bushland Conservation Management. nearly all of whom are wildlife carers, so there’s plenty of mouths to feed. I would like to invite more gardeners into this group, so they may be able to donate suitable food to local wildlife carers. The process of the Facebook group starts with a gardener taking a photo of the hedge or garden they’re about to prune. An estimate’s made of how much green waste there’ll be, and this is either picked up from site or delivered to a carer. The ideal food for wildlife is the new growth from Lilly Pilly - there’s heaps growing all over the Coast. Any gardener who donates on the page gets to display their business name and details. It’s a great little promo for new gardening businesses or gardeners who want to give something back to the community. Thank you for considering the local wildlife of the area.

Sunken gardens bush kindy excursion, Bush Kindy and real play is a wonderful way for children to explore, to evoke imagination and just be kids. Amber Grimley and I, along with another Mum Jeanette Grevett, were lucky enough to help out on the day when Eumundi Goodstart Day Care Centre recently took 22 kindergarten children on an excursion to the Eumundi Sunken Gardens.

Amber handed out a homemade map to the excited children to find their way to the site and we were thrilled to show off the garden to the kids.

Bush kindy allows the children to run, jump and play in the outdoors without any introduced play resources.

The children made their own bush hut using branches, sticks and palm fronds and built the foundations for a small fire near their camp. They also were left to explore around the bushlands where we’d hidden toys of native animals in trees for them to find. The little ones had so much fun

running down and jumping off an embankment and balancing on an old tree branch. A native tree was planted and watered in by the children, who we hope will enjoy watching it grow over the years.

A lovely handmade nature journal was made by day care educator Amber and given to all the children to keep small treasures from their day such as feathers, rocks, flowers or a drawing. The children had so much fun that the Day Care Centre plans on making this a regular excursion. Amber and I plan on holding a family bushcare morning in early 2017 which will include potting up native seedlings, watering and some weeding.

We had our last bushcare working bee for the year on Sunday and we were able to focus our attention on some woody weed removal. The next Eumundi bushcare will meet Sun 22 January 2017, 9.30am – 1pm with a cuppa provided.

BANDICOOTS

Kon Hepers

This spring we have not had much rain even though some of our close neighbours have been luckier. We have bare patches in the lawn and the soil is just about rock hard for several centimetres down. So we have to feel sorry for the little bandicoots that have to dig down for their dinner of worms, grubs/insects, spiders, roots and seeds.

Much of this food source is now far more difficult to get at so the bandicoots have to work much harder, digging more and more holes. And they don’t bother to fill them in again. There must be a hundred holes in the lawn, the garden and in the surrounding bush. Some areas look like a scene from a mini battlefield, studded with bomb craters. Bandicoots are well equipped for the task with strong clawed front feet. Under normal conditions they would find sufficient tucker from excavating just a few holes but obviously many of the holes dug into the extra hard soil are “blanks”. A few days ago we saw an echidna trying to dig in for concealment and even this notorious digger found it slow going. They can just about dig through concrete!

The species of bandicoot we have at our place is the Northern Brown Bandicoot, Isoodon macrourus, meaning “equal-toothed with a big tail”.

They may well have “equal” teeth but they do not have a large tail, in fact the tails are quite small. The name possibly derives from Hindi “bandikut”, a similar-looking but unrelated Asian rabbit-rat. When assigning the scientific name to our bandicoots someone used an early naturalist’s drawing and got it wrong. Our species here is called the Northern Brown Bandicoot because its range is up the northern part of the East

Coast and around the north of the continent into northern WA. They grow to just over a kilo in weight with a body length of about 40cm with another 15cm for the tail.

From the number of holes dug in search of food it would seem that it was a whole herd of the little creatures but in fact bandicoots are solitary animals, only getting together for mating purposes. That is a good thing; if they were gregarious like rabbits we could get overrun. They have the shortest gestation period of any mammal and females can produce a litter of four young every 10 weeks or so in ideal moist weather conditions. Being marsupials, bandicoots have a pouch but because of their digging lifestyle the pouch opens backwards so that it doesn’t fill up with soil. During our recent dry spell their numbers would be declining and their predators including owls, foxes, cats and snakes would also be relying on them as a decreasing food source.

Bandicoots are strictly nocturnal – that’s why you rarely see them at work. By day they hide in dense vegetation as well as in and under old logs.

We don’t mind all the holes: bandicoots have to eat too. In fact they often make a home in suburbia where some keen gardeners call them a friend because they aerate the soil and help control pest species. If only they wouldn’t bring paralysis ticks to the table.

A few years ago a friend living in Eumundi related that every time he lit up the barbeque on his porch a bandicoot would turn up out of the bush and hang around, presumably looking for tasty morsels. This happened even in broad daylight (with photo evidence). After close to two years the bandicoot stopped coming out. Maybe our friend became less generous or maybe the resident carpet python eventually put an end to it.

A pair of peewee parents madly building their nest in relay style - one builds then leaves as the other arrives with more building material, and so on for hours - fascinating!

He explained, “This process has revealed a rich vein of sculptural possibilities while dualistically acknowledging the traditions of figurative and or functional ceramics.”

I am writing to you as I and the rest of the volunteers at Eumundi School of Rock are feeling most upset about what’s been happening in our little town of Eumundi of late. As you know we have our big community concert planned and we’ve been working really hard to get the word out. I personally have been putting up posters around the town in the last week and something bizarre has been happening this week. I am noticing that ALL accessible posters (not the ones I’ve put inside shop windows such as Berkeleow and the Bakery) have been taken down!

At first I thought the first one on the community notice board may have blown off but I have had to replace it THREE times now! I feel its targeted... the perpetrators have just been taking the School of Rock ones only. Why? I really don’t know. Who wouldn’t want this to be a success for the kids of our local school and kids of our Eumundi community?

Award winning painter Ian Gunn has participated in over thirty exhibitions since moving to the coast in 1996. He and Andrew were work colleagues for ten years at Sunshine Coast TAFE and before that Andrew taught Ian ceramics. Ian shared, “Our work will look fantastic together and the similarities of the shapes and forms in painting and ceramic are uncannily similar - even though we did not know what each of us was currently producing.”

The exhibition opens at 6pm on Friday 9 December and runs over summer. Berkelouw Café has been establishing itself as an exhibition space following the recent success of Kurt Black’s exhibition.

What has been the worst is today as

I drove up to the School of Arts hall, I discovered our very large poster has been removed also. We are hoping it is just an excited kid who wants to keep them and doesn’t realise it is sabotaging our concert and costing us $$. We are really hoping it is not a targeted attack or sabotage effor ts.

Eumundi School of Rock is costing a substantial amount of money to provide this program for free for all the students participating and a lot of LOVE and hard work and TIME by volunteers and sponsors. ALL of the musicians playing on the night of the gig are playing for free and we are relying on our Concert being a sell-out success for us to be able to continue to run the Eumundi School of Rock annually.

This is so disappointing for us and that we will be replacing our posters and hope that they will not continue to be taken down as we cannot afford to keep printing and laminating our signs.

Kind regards, Lani, Eumundi School of Rock Administration.
