A HINTERLAND MOMENT Editor’s note ...
ROTARY IS CURRENTLY LOOKING AT SEVERAL LOCAL PROJECTS
Sometimes you have to go away to appreciate how good you’ve got it at home – and hinterland living for us locals has some of the best living on offer anywhere in the world. This issue we highlight four of our talented locals who create from studios nestled in the hinterland hills (Hinterland Supplement page 5). We also see some interesting changes afoot for our Eumundi village. And celebrate the change of seasons with our reader’s photos and outdoors articles.

Beautification of the entries into our town have long been a topic of concern and Rotary is working with our Council to find ways residents can be involved in presenting our town in a way we feel best reflects our community. Keep an eye out for more information and to see how you might get involved. We are also looking for ways to support the excellent work done by the Principal and Staff of Eumundi State School. Talks are progressing about ways to support the school garden and providing a time capsule for the 50th Anniversary of the naming of the Sunshine Coast. We are always open to suggestions from the public as to any need in the community we can support with our human or financial resources. The public is welcome to our meeting at any time but especially invited on Thursday 25th May to hear our local Police Sergeant Brooke Flood discuss Policing in Eumundi and District. Together we can do things as the Rotary Global Community that as individuals would be impossible to achieve.

Just Love Eumundi!
A surprise and delight at every turn |
The first sod is turned for our new Terraces!
The Eumundi Markets are an international destination and the Sunshine Coast’s biggest cultural tourist attraction with more than 600 local micro-businesses taking up stalls at each market day. This much needed, high quality upgrade will help position Eumundi well into the future to remain Australia’s greatest artisan market. Stalls usually located on this section will be temporarily repositioned to the short term council carpark on Napier Road. Construction by local builder Toobella Homes is planned to be completed in 14 weeks.
Walking down Memorial Drive, one is constantly surprised and delighted by the rich palette of lively treats that are served up daily in Eumundi. We all know how lovely our village life is… how Eumundi blends history with a vibrant arts community, and we love that Eumundians have made this a perfect place to live. Whether it be fine art or street art, our 10 or more top baristas serving up our daily shot of java juice, great restaurants and pubs, happy, shiny kids playing in the Sunny Coast’s best playground (and attending our very fine State School)... new music, old music - from jazz to roots and rock… lost arts and authorship, comedy and even old time dancing. Who wouldn’t want to live here? Eumundi really is a little slice of wonder.

Business NEW EUMUNDI DEVELOPMENT Andrew Hillhouse, of Hillhouse Architecture based in Eerwah Vale, announced on his Facebook page recently that 100 Memorial Dr, Eumundi had planning approval for alterations and additions which he had designed. Mr Hillhouse went on to explain that the warehouse style, commercial retail development approved on behalf of the Grey family, includes an additional 230m2 to the existing old butcher shop – which is currently home to local businesses Humdrum Espresso and Heavenly Blooms. “The existing building is retained and upgraded and the new building nestles around it providing some new street shop front and an address to Caplick Park,” he wrote. “The addition will be a contemporary warehouse style providor of organic groceries, a coffee shop and food outlet that will address and activate both the main street and the park,” Hillhouse Architecture divulged on their website. Cr Greg Rogerson explained that as the property development was within Council’s planning scheme for Eumundi and abiding by the coded zoning intent of that area, it was deemed not impact assessable so community input was unwarranted. “It is a code
assessable application – which means no public submissions are necessary,” he shared. “Sunshine Coast planners have signed off on a large by-fold window at the back of the proposed building - which will overlook the park, allowing the ambience to filter into the café without moving into that area,” he said. Cr Rogerson’s said his understanding is it’s a small scale development and that, “healthy competition is good for the economic viability of the various businesses in town.” The Sunshine Coast planning scheme for the Eumundi area stipulates maximum height of buildings is 10 metres. The development of 100 Memorial Dr is within the Urban Growth Management Boundary in the Major Centre Zone category but buffering the Open Space Zone of Dick Caplick Park. Mock-ups of the proposed development can be found at hillhousearchitecture.com/ projects.
Michelle Pike brings a unique and wonderful recipe of Australian colour, culture, bad habits and humour to her quirky anthropomorphic style. Michelle attributes her understanding of the Australian landscape and its vivid colours, to her many childhood trips into the outback. She now enjoys a vast base of return customers at the Eumundi Square seeking that special Aussie gift. In her spare time, Michelle is very happy to be out surfing, clay pigeon shooting or ideally taking her tinny out…maybe some fishing…or simply going back to her roots and going bush!
MARKET TERRACE UPGRADE
A section of the premises of the Original Eumundi Markets known as the Terraces is currently undergoing an upgrade to ensure the area remains safe and improve the market experience for visitors. The project is joint initiative by Eumundi’s community organisations and the Sunshine Coast Council. Division 10 Cr Greg Rogerson said the markets

Community NEW CROSSING FOR EUMUNDI The new school crossing with two crossing guards on the busy Caplick Way road has been a welcome addition to keeping local Eumundi State School families safe. School Principal Mick Connors said the new crossing means children and parents have safer access to the school. The crossing signage alerts traffic to the fact that there is a school located nearby and is reducing the speed of traffic outside the front of the school. “We really must thank Cr Greg Rogerson, the Sunshine Coast Regional Council and Noosa MP Glen Elmes for their
combined efforts in making the crossing happen,” Mr Connors shared. “The need for the crossing has been an issue for the school and P&C for many years, and it is wonderful to see that the community representatives have listened and responded to this need,” he explained. Mr Connors said that the feedback from parents had been overwhelmingly positive. “It is really pleasing to see everyone using the crossing before and after school,” he enthused.
CR GREG ROGE RSON Division 10
I’m pleased to report that the refurbishment of the Eumundi Terraces is finally underway! Council has contributed $669,000 towards this $1.4million project and the balance is being funded by Experience Eumundi, Eumundi Historical Association and Eumundi & District Community Association (ECCO). Construction is expected to be completed in 14 weeks. I have contributed a further $14,000 in divisional funding for the installation of a number of water drinking fountains within the new terrace area. As I’ve said many-a-time, Eumundi is a jewel in the Sunshine Coast crown and this project will ensure that one of our town’s key attractions – remain safe, functional, visually attractive and welcoming for the 1.2million guests who visit each year. I’d like to thank everyone involved for their patience and diligence in helping us get it over the line! Bridging an urgent gap I continue to receive requests from locals for upgrades to pedestrian access pathways, particularly on the walk to the
C.H. Ball Lookout and also the bridge across the North Maroochy River on the EumundiNoosa Road, which currently has no dedicated, safe pedestrian access. At this stage the C.H. Ball Lookout improvements on Eumundi Range Rd will be provided in small sections within yearly council budgets, as the total infrastructure spend required to complete all upgrades in this area is in the multi-millions of dollars. These works will be prioritised according to the sections which are most in need of work from a safety perspective. Because of the urgency for a pedestrian bridge across the river on Eumundi Noosa Rd, this project will take budget priority. Council has designed a pedestrian bridge and we are eager to start negotiations with the Department of Transport and Main Roads on the funding of that bridge. Because of the flooding that occurs in this area, the new bridge will require collapsible balustrading and will be built explicitly to withstand flooding events.

EUMUNDI POLICE UPDATE Sgt Brooke Flood, Eumundi Police 5442 8222 I would like to apologise for the lack of submissions to the Eumundi Green this year. I have spent the past four months acting as Officer in Charge at Nambour Police Station, but I am back to my usual role here at Eumundi. Today I had a crime reported to me by a local man which was absolutely heart breaking and sadly, completely avoidable. He received what is commonly referred to a ‘cold call’ investment offer where a scam artist swindled a lovely, hardworking gentleman out of his life savings - over $100,000. Cold-call investment fraud, also known as boiler room fraud, is a type of organised crime in which a group of criminals set up an elaborate façade of legitimate business to defraud people by getting them to invest in opportunities and companies that do not deliver as promised. The fraud involves a person receiving an unsolicited contact, usually
a telephone call out of the blue (a cold call) or an email, connecting them with a salesperson. The salesperson builds rapport with the investor, using various techniques designed to induce the person to invest in what is claimed to be a highly profitable moneymaking venture. The investment opportunity is of course fraudulent and there is no possibility that it will ever deliver the promised results. Once the criminal group has obtained money from a number of investors, they shut down the particular company, with the investor often losing all the money they handed over.
• Use of financial terms such as: trading, investment, taxfree, low-risk, risk-free profit
Common warning signs of coldcall investment fraud are:
• Seek independent financial advice before making an investment.
• An “out of the blue” (random or unexpected) contact • A ‘too good to be true’ offer of unrealistic (high) returns or profits • A 1300 or 1800 number used
• A virtual address or serviced office used. For example, serviced office operated by Servcorp. To protect yourself you can: • Hang up on unsolicited telephone calls offering investments. • Visit www.moneysmart.gov. au or call 1300 300 630 for more information or advice. • Alert your family and friends to these investment frauds, especially those who may have savings to invest.
• Contact your financial institution immediately if you think you’ve been scammed to see whether they can retrieve funds invested or prevent further funds being lost.
Experience Eumundi general manager Anthony WynneHoelscher said the markets were a drawcard for residents and visitors. “The Markets are an international destination and the Sunshine Coast’s biggest cultural tourist attraction with some 1.2 million visitors each year,” he said. “And, with more than 600 local micro-businesses taking up stalls at each market day, the markets are one of the Coast’s largest private employers. This much needed, high quality upgrade will help position Eumundi well into the future to remain Australia’s greatest artisan market,” Anthony shared. Stalls usually located on the terraces section will continue to operate in full throughout construction and be temporarily repositioned to the short term council carpark on Napier Rd. Construction is expected to be completed in 14 weeks. Council has contributed $669,000 in funding to this $1.4 million project through its Capital Works Program. The balance is funded by Experience Eumundi, Eumundi Historical Association and Eumundi & District Community Association.

Heritage DISCOVER EUMUNDI OF THE 60’S Wendy Birrell, Discover Eumundi Heritage & Visitor Centre manager
Pupils at the day of the new library opening in 1960. Many may be aware that this year is the 50th Anniversary of the naming of the Sunshine Coast and there will be many events around the official commemoration date of 1 August 2017. At Discover Eumundi we are planning an exhibition in our Wan’din’in arts space, but need the community’s assistance in bringing to life an understanding of what it was like to live in Eumundi and the surrounding area in the 1960’s. We also plan to create this exhibition in the context of some of the social conditions of the time. In 1966 women were finally allowed to keep working in public service jobs when they married, and Queensland was the last state to let the indigenous population vote in state elections in 1965. School children and other groups will be invited to view this exhibition, which we believe will be a great drawcard to the Centre. It will be enjoyed by all ages as it will give a glimpse into the not too distant past of a town that may not have changed greatly in appearance, but has changed a lot in many other ways.
attending dances in the School of Arts, drinking at one of the pubs in Eumundi and also life in Verrierdale, Doonan, North Arm, Eerwah Vale in the 1960’s. We can copy photos and documents and return them on the spot, if you give us a little notice. Items can be loaned to us just for the exhibition, which will run from August to October, and we would also welcome items that we assess as suitable being donated to Discover Eumundi to become part of our large collection of documents, photos and objects related to Eumundi and the surrounding area. 5442 8762 or info@ discovereumundi.com.
Our heritage collection has little on this era and we hope to add to it through this project; to make a successful display, we are asking people to come forward with any items, souvenirs, photos, documents and memories of living, working, going to school,

Health EXERCISING THROUGHOUT PREGNANCY AND BEYOND Brooke Conlan, Personal Trainer, Eumundi Becoming a mum for the first time is an exciting and challenging time. The demands on the body both during and after pregnancy can be quite overwhelming. So why is it important to remain active during and after pregnancy? Firstly, it can help maintain a healthy body weight throughout gestation. A healthy weight gain of 1-2 kg per month is considered normal for pregnancy. Keeping fit will also help strengthen the pelvic floor which can decrease the incidence of post-natal incontinence. Other key benefits of exercising during and after pregnancy include improvement in mood and reducing the likelihood of prenatal and postnatal depression. Just 30 minutes a day for five days a week can help alleviate mild to moderate cases of depression. Exercising throughout pregnancy helps prepare the body for labour and can actually decrease the length of labour! Now there’s a reason to get your exercise plan in action. Pre- and postnatal exercise will also assist with reducing back
pain as well as prevention of serious conditions like preeclampsia (high blood pressure) and gestational diabetes. The first trimester of pregnancy can be the hardest to commit to an exercise program for pregnant mums with morning sickness and increased body temperature, so it is often the second trimester where it is ideal to commence or continue a fitness program. If you are intending to exercise during or after pregnancy it is always recommended to seek GP clearance and advice prior to starting an exercise regime. The reason for this is that there are certain conditions where pregnancy exercises should be avoided or carried out under specific guidelines, however for most women it is perfectly safe to exercise while pregnant. 0408 077 699

Having ‘A pain in the guts,’ is a particularly Australian slang description for abdominal pain. The potential causes for abdominal pain are wide and varied, however abdominal pain associated with intermittent diarrhea, nausea, anorexia, malaise, fatigue, or poor weight gain may be a sign that there is some type of parasitic infection present. Giardiasis (a protozoal infection), traditionally was the most likely parasite identified to cause these symptoms. However, two other types of parasite are becoming more frequently recognised as being a potential cause, although this is somewhat controversial. Dientamoeba fragilis is a protozoan, and has been reported worldwide as causing human gastrointestinal symptoms. D. fragilis is very common and is second only to the Blastocystis species another potential candidate. Dientamoebiasis equals or exceeds the incidence of giardiasis. The prevalence of this organism in Australia varies greatly, from 0.4% to 16.8%, in patients presenting with gastrointestinal complaints. Recent advances in technology have improved the rates of
detection of both D. fragilis and the Blastocystis species. D. fragilis in particular has been difficult to identify by microscopy in the laboratory. It is only due to the recent introduction of DNA-based molecular methods that we now know that these organisms are much more common than previously thought. There are two genotypes of D. fragilis and 17 genotypes of Blastocystis, 9 in humans and others of possibly separate species. Both these organisms are found in faeces of humans, as well as in a number of animal species worldwide. The pathogenicity of Blastocystis and D. fragilis has not been fully established in humans. While many people who carry blastocystis have no signs or symptoms, the organism is also found in people who have diarrhea and other digestive

problems. Blastocystis often appears with other organisms, so it is not clear whether it causes disease on its own or if is an innocent bystander. It is also possible that some people may be carriers of blastocystis. These carriers don’t have any signs or symptoms of infection. The incidence of symptoms don’t appear to worsen with an increase in the number of parasites detected. Although no one knows for sure how blastocystis gets into the digestive system, experts suspect it may get into the intestinal tract through oralfecal contact. This can occur when a person doesn’t wash their hands thoroughly after using the toilet before preparing food. The prevalence of blastocystis increases in places with inadequate sanitation and poor personal hygiene. The transmission of D. fragilis has also been unclear, although there is some evidence to suggest transmission via worm eggs. Some recent studies have also shown that it can also be spread via the faecal oral route. If you have blastocystis without signs or symptoms, then you don’t need treatment. Mild signs and symptoms may improve

Clinical improvement has been observed in adults with D. fragilis receiving tetracycline; symptomatic relief has been observed in children receiving diiodohydroxyquin, metronidazole, or tetracycline. Current recommendations include iodoquinol, paromomycin, or combination therapy. No large-scale doubleblind randomized placebo controlled trials testing the efficacy of antimicrobial agents against D. fragilis have been undertaken. However, as symptomatic relief has been observed following appropriate therapy, D. fragilis is probably pathogenic in infected individuals who are symptomatic. A recent Australian study by Borody et al. has also showed a link between D. fragilis and irritable bowel syndrome. Further research is needed to fully understand the pathogenicity and appropriate treatment of these parasites. The recent improvements in the detection of these parasites will hopefully lead to further research in this area.

Potential medications for treating blastocystis infection include antibiotics such as metronidazole or tinidazole, and combination medications, such as sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim. Antiprotozoal medications, such as paromomycin or nitazoxanide, are occasionally used. Response to medication for blastocystis infection varies greatly from person to person.

Sweet potato & date cake Valda Andrews, Cooroy This is quite a large dense cake which seems to feed hordes of visitors. It freezes well and responds to a quick microwave zap when it needs to be refreshed. Years ago I made it for a coffee shop in Brisbane where it remained popular along with my carrot cake ... that was at least providing the vegetable of the day. Make your guests guess what the major ingredient and the strips are. No apologies for the sugar content ... just have a smaller slice.
Ingredients
Syrup
Method
• 600 gm sweet potato
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 250 gm butter
• 50 ml water
• 300 gm sugar
• 2 tblsp honey
1. Butter a large fluted ring tin (26 cm). It is best in a ring tin as it is quite dense; if not it will need a longer cooking time. Oven set at 19°C.
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2. Peel sweet potato. Grate off 30 long strips and set aside for the syrup. Chop remainder and boil, drain, mash and cool.
• 300 gm SR flour • 1 tsp cinnamon • 1 tsp nutmeg
3. Cream butter and sugar well. Add sweet potato mash. Mix well.
• 14 dates chopped

4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. 5. Add sifted flour with spices, then chopped dates and walnuts. Fold all gently. 6. Bake for approx. 40 minutes, testing with a skewer. 7. Meanwhile, simmer strips of potato in syrup ingredients. I let it thicken a little bit. 8. Allow cake to stand a few minutes before turning out. 9. Dust with icing sugar and pour over syrup and strips.

found on Sunshine Coast beaches - 61 nests between north Bribie Island and Buddina, and 28 nests further north from Mooloolaba to Sunshine Beach. While high summer temperatures resulted in unusually early nest emergences this season, the Coast avoided significant hatchling deaths which occurred in other parts of the state. With the help of Council staff, Coolum and North Shore District CoastCare, Turtlecare volunteers and locals, this nesting season has delivered thousands of hatchlings into the Pacific Ocean. Loggerhead hatchlings from the Sunshine Coast make their way over to South America over the next 10 years, returning to the South Pacific at around 15 to 20 years of age.
program has been touted by turtle experts as one of the most successful community turtle conservation programs and plays a major role in protecting the Coast’s tiny marine turtles. Environment Portfolio Councillor Jenny McKay said, “Each year, Council staff work with turtle volunteers to monitor the nests and carry out a range of activities such as covering nests with protective meshing and relocating turtle eggs during severe weather events and king tides. Data collected over many years has shown that the measures taken to protect turtle nests from threats such as fox predation, beach erosion, light pollution and tidal inundation have dramatically improved the survival rate here on the Coast.

Bushfires are a contributor of greenhouse gas emissions. Unfortunately this is a nasty feedback loop because one of the predicted effects of climate change is longer bushfire seasons and more intense bushfires. The CSIRO have recently published on their PyroPage (google it) a study on
the greenhouse gas emissions of bushfires depending on the fire behavior. It turns out that low intensity flanking and backing fires – the type we might use for hazard reduction burns – emit less greenhouse gases than the more intense heading fires that are seen in wildfire. It is also possible that in lower intensity fires, more carbon remains in the burn residues that are then available for the soil biota. This has big implications for land management. If we manage the fuel hazard in our landscape with low intensity burns, we can reduce intense wildfires Cont’d on pg 18

Australia’s largest sustainable farm input company is right here on your doorstep!
Gum Tree Sheild Bug They get falsely blamed for many different things. If our computer has a glitch, it’s a bug. If we become enthused about a new activity, we’ve caught the bug. If our stomach is upset, it’s a tummy bug. If something has chewed our lettuce seedlings, it was a bug! We noted that in the US just about anything that crawls is a bug; the word “insect” is seldom used. In Australia, they are often called “beetles”. To avoid confusion, we call actual bugs “True Bugs”. There are about 6,000 species of true bugs in Australia, easily outnumbered by about 30,000 species of beetles. Although there are superficial
similarities, bugs and beetles are not closely related and have important differences in taxonomic features. The major difference is in the mouthparts: beetles’ mouthparts are adapted for chewing leaves, shoots, wood, dung and other organic matter, even animal carcasses. The mouth parts of bugs are adapted for sucking juice from plants and animals. They insert a thin tube into the host or prey and syphon up the nourishing fluid. The bugs’ forewings are half covered with a hard shield.
Enjoy an Evening with Australian Native Bees this Friday 19 May, 6.30 - 8.30pm at Eumundi School of Arts Hall. Tim Heard, renowned entomologist and author of The Australian Native Bee Book, along with ecologist and native bee expert Tobias Smith, will explain the situation in global crop pollination. Local beekeeper and crop consultant Chris Fuller will discuss native bees for pollination. Tickets $20 / $15 online at: o-tix.com/event/bees or in-store at Berkelouw Books, Eumundi.

We were really excited to see our first ever Richmond Birdwing Butterfly in our Eumundi garden a couple of weeks back. This is one of Australia’s largest and most colourful butterflies. Whilst once common it’s now listed as vulnerable. We have planted the rainforest vine - Richmond Birdwing Vine - that it needs to survive and we hope to see many more butterflies in years to come. Keep an eye out for this beautiful Australian butterfly around Eumundi and if you have a garden why not plant one too? Ian Cleary, Eumundi. Photo thanks to Kaya Cleary aged nine.

This identifies them as members of the taxonomic group hemiptera, meaning “half-wing”.
and the associated larger net greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, reducing tree-canopy scorch using low intensity fire preserves habitat. So the local environmental conditions are protected along with the global effects. Acting locally while thinking globally in action.
Beetles have the entire forewing sheathed in a membrane; hence their order is coleoptera or “sheath-wing”. The lifecycle of bugs and beetles is also quite different. When bugs hatch from eggs, they are already formed as miniature versions of adults and after a few days clustering together on leaves or twigs, they fend for themselves. In several species, such as the Cotton Harlequin Bug, the female stays with and protects her eggs until they hatch. Beetles’ eggs hatch into larvae (caterpillars), usually underground. The next stage is to pupate and finally emerge as beetles – a cycle similar to butterflies.
Of course, bush fire fighters also contain the wildfires that do ignite. The Coolum fire was the most obvious recent example in our region. The emissions from that single event would have been enormous, but imagine how much greater it could have been if it hadn’t been contained. I get frustrated with a sense of helplessness when I see governments and legacy businesses dithering over our global biosphere’s greatest existential threat: climate change. Meanwhile, I like direct action; and being a member of Eumundi RFB is just that. So if you’re a tree-hugger - or just a concerned global-citizen - we’d love to have you in our shed for some direct, practical climate-mitigation training. You might even learn how to squirt water from the back of a fire truck. We’re recruiting, so see you at 7pm on any Tuesday evening in our Napier Rd shed. If things continue as they are, we’re going to need lots more firefighters.
True bugs include the tiny aphids and scale insects, but also the much larger (and noisier) cicadas. There are true bugs in just about any habitat, including fresh water streams and lakes. Bed bugs are the first bugs

actually mentioned in literature back in the Middle Ages. Fairly typical of the sap-sucking bugs are the Gum Tree Shield Bugs of which there are several similar species, Theseus sp and Poecilometis sp. They can be found by day roaming around the stems of eucalypts or hiding under patches of brittle bark. We think their intricate black-and-white patterning may have inspired some of the indigenous art we love. Then there are the Assassin Bugs. They wait in ambush or slowly stalk their prey, usually other arthropods, until they can grab it with their long forelegs and inject digestive enzymes. The juice is then sucked up through a curved beak-like tube. Bees are among their commonest prey. When handled many bugs emit a seriously bad odour, hence the name “stink bug”. Assassin bugs can also administer a painful sting when handled. They thoroughly deserve the descriptive title “assassin”.
