Notes Hinterland note ...

R A I S E F U N D S B Y C A R PA R K I N G

We tend to go on about how special our hinterland home is – I have to confess to saying, “Only in Eumundi!” more than once with a wry pride.

But do we look at where we live while wearing rose coloured glasses?

Are we really that different?

The Eumundi Markets carpark is inviting local groups to join the carparking roster. This is an opportunity to raise funds for your community group or not-for-profit in exchange for market carparking. There are currently four shifts available in 2019 on both Wednesdays and Saturdays. Groups are reimbursed for their time via way of direct donation to their community group.

All enquiries to manager Richard Thurbon carparking@eumundicco.com.au

After time away over the holidays, I returned at dusk and was greeted – in this order – with…

The tennis courts filled with locals having a hit; A Gma with her granddaughter dressed as a princess; A car full of my friends waving; A smiling woman on her bike weaving through the empty market area; A couple at the pizza joint putting a pink cowboy hat on a smiling dog; A group of regulars having a laugh with the Humdrum kids outside Joe’s; Two women holding hands window shopping at the bookshop; Civa waving hi as he chats to an old fella; Cars triple parked outside the servo; Some kids walking a goat in the park; Carloads of families arriving and greeting each other outside the Imp; Fairy lights blinking on at the restaurants…

A couple of these things – yeah sure, not unusual to see in any village – but all within a five second interval?... only in Eumundi.

Happy New Year hinterlanders, welcome to another year of Green things in your community mag. Let’s make it another good one full of Eumundi moments. x

Growing up in Cooroy Crystal shared her family would always come to the Eumundi markets and she loved the feel of the village. “The community feel here is so inviting – and a florist had just left – I saw an opening and jumped at the chance,” Crystal said.

Community ECCO REPORT

Louise Formosa, ECCO Chair, Eumundi

ECCO Ltd trading as Experience Eumundi is a not-for-profit company that operates the Eumundi Market car parks on market days as well as the RV Stop over, Eumundi Green community magazine and Experience Eumundi branding platform. The board of directors is comprised of six individual volunteers appointed by the the members of the company being: the Eumundi and District Community Association Inc. (EDCA); the Eumundi and District Historical Association Inc. (EHA); and the Eumundi Chamber of Commerce Inc. (ECC). The objects of ECCO Ltd are to support projects that benefit the Eumundi township and to promote tourism and business opportunities as well as acquire and operate community activities to assist in achieving its objects.

Car Park

RV Stopover

Parking numbers for 17/18 Fiscal amounted to approx.

102,800. Carpark cash profit was approximately $331,000 $25,000 ahead of budget for the year. Richard Thurbon has once again performed an outstanding job of managing the car park with the support of Phil Gissing.

Volunteers from the carpark raised in total $62,500 towards their not-for-profit associations and we thank all our volunteers, including some who are members of the ECCO board for their hard work, reliability and support.

The RV Stopover has showed consistent visitor numbers with expected seasonal changes and we achieved a $10,400 profit this year, which was $10,000 over budget.

The Green Printed media is a tough gig, particularly when you have a community-based magazine that relies on local advertising, local content and the right ratio between content and advertising which must be maintained at a level that satisfies readers. The community magazine that we all adore, rely on and connect with has ended the financial year at a loss of $44,800 which was $19,000

more of a loss than anticipated in the budget. The production team, being Sacha and Lil, have been highly dedicated to the magazine and have applied their passion, skill and love for our community into each edition.

To the volunteers that assist with inserts, editorial content, proofing and distribution, we thank you so much for your contribution to the magazine and our community.

Community Bus Given the lack of usage by the community, the board decided to sell the ECCO community bus. We were able to gain $16,000 from the sale and we now have a permanent maxi taxi booking in place for pensioner shopping trips that ECCO now subsidises at a far less rate than when the community bus was operating.

For the maintenance of the Terraces, the board has awarded a six month tender to the Eumundi Community Gardens which is a sub-committee of volunteers for EDCA who will be maintaining the terraces to raise funds for the community garden planned for the grounds surrounding the old scout hall.

We wish these volunteers the best of luck.

The large, bold oil paintings in By the Waterside are based on memories from David’s years of living in this region. “I have lived in Noosa [shire] for over thirty years, or half my life, and have spent a good deal of time in the water surfing, or painting in the Noosa National Park,” David shared.

David feels his landscapes have a primordial feel. “My newer pieces are moving towards a suggestion of humanity, using the landscape as an allegory for my search and discovery of spirituality in nature,” he said.

David finds inspiration for his subject matter in the action and stillness

Books SUMMER READING Books are the staple Christmas gift in our family; everyone must have something to read and pass round over the summer.

No gift certificates allowed! We take a risk, pick something, are prepared to defend your choice, or pretend you like it - even if you don’t! Fortunately, there was no shortage of good books to give and get last year.

My picks were Booker Prize winner, Milkman (Anna Burns), Normal People (Sally Rooney) Pulitzer winner, Less (Andrew Sean Greer) and Melissa Fagan’s What Will Be Worn, the fascinating history/memoir of Brisbane’s iconic department store, McWhirters and the family behind it.

Just for good measure, I reread Bell Hooks’ 1984 classic, Feminist Theory: from Margin to Center. However, the book I was most looking forward to was Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver. I’ve read most of her books and two; The Poisonwood Bible and Lacuna, have been favourites, others a bit disappointing - too much

lecture, not enough literature.

Still, I respect her scientific knowledge, admire her style and her very honourable intentions. As Unsheltered is the first mainstream novel to directly address the current state of politics in the United States, I was hoping for insights from a Kingsolver perspective.

They are there, but clumsily delivered, weighed down by historical detail-even though it’s very interesting - and too many characters, each of which is loaded with an aspect of Kingsolver’s analysis.

faced a conflict between the need for the comfort and reassurance of authority, spiritualism and the new science, particularly Darwinism. Now it’s authority, climate science and economics. What the modern Vineland family in Unsheltered reveals so well for those of us outside the United States, are the grim and sometimes unbelievable details of everyday life for ordinary people,

especially in health care and with job insecurity. The Civil War references are obvious as well.

As one of the characters says, “We try to reason with one another, but only manage to tear ourselves apart.”

Sound familiar?

In hindsight, it might have been better to have essays and fiction interspersed rather than trying to make them work together. The novel is set in an actual place, Vineland, New Jersey, with two families at two different points in American history: just after the Civil War and in the present. There are obvious parallels between the times: after the Civil War, America

Kids S TA R T I N G H I G H S C H O O L Moving to a new school or transitioning from primary to high school, is a big life change for kids. It can be exciting with the promise of new experiences, but it can also be challenging and worrying. The best way to help is by making sure children are prepared and feel supported.

Kids have mixed feelings about starting secondary school.

It’s a heady combination of excitement and nerves about; new friends, subjects, teachers, new routines, making friends, uniforms, workload, or fitting in. Parents can also worry about whether their children will have the confidence and skills to handle all the changes.

Secondary school also means a move from the familiar to the unknown – and a whole new way of doing things.

Parents have the biggest influence on how smooth the transition is. Friends also impact how a child feels about the move, but parental support has stronger and longer-lasting effects.

You can help to ease any worries your child has about starting secondary school by preparing your child beforehand.

Dealing with worries Talk with children about what they are most looking forward to and nervous about. Really listen when kids share and reassure them that it’s normal to worry about going to secondary school. Encourage them to focus on the positives. For example, highlight the new opportunities they will have by talking about extracurricular activities at the new school.

Talk about friendships. For example, ask what their friends are saying about secondary school. Also talk about how they

might keep in touch with old friends and make new friends at high school.

Relationships Kids will need a lot of reassurance about meeting new peers and making new friends and establishing or re-establishing their position within a new peer group. It’s normal to worry and let them know that finding friends that are a ‘good fit’ for them can take time. Encourage your child to invite new friends over, or be ready to transport your child to play dates. Discovering new opportunities, like trying a new sport or joining a drama class, are great ways to meet new friends and get involved in school.

Schoolwork Kids will need to adapt to new teaching and assessment styles, cope with a wide range of subjects, adjust to having different teachers in different classrooms, become more responsible for their learning, manage a heavier and more complicated work load, become more computer literate, and manage a new, complex timetable.

Getting around They will have to adjust to a new school campus, find their way around, get to class on time with the right books and materials, and possibly cope with new

transport arrangements.

schoolwork or new activities

Transition Try to arrange for a parent, grandparent or other close adult to be home before and after school for the first few weeks.

Find out the name of the teacher responsible for your child’s overall care, then introduce yourself as early as possible.

Make home comfortable for study time. For example, make sure your child has a quiet place to study, away from distractions.

Feelings Be prepared for ups and downs.

Adjusting to change takes time, but if things don’t stabilise after the first term, talk to your child’s homeroom teacher.

Remind children that it’s normal to feel nervous about starting something new –you could share how nervous and excited you feel when starting a new job.

Talk to other parents to check whether your child’s experiences are similar to those of others.

Sporting and school events are good opportunities to meet other parents. Make sure your child eats well, has plenty of physical activity and gets lots of sleep. The change to secondary school will make them more tired at first.

• Doesn’t talk with you about school or friends • Seems low on confidence or self-esteem – your child might say he’s dumb or nobody likes them • Is getting lower marks If your child is struggling don’t wait for things to improve on their own. Try to get them talking about their feelings, let them know that feeling worried is normal, and see whether you can work out some strategies together. But if things don’t improve within a couple of weeks, consider speaking with the teacher, year coordinator, councillor or GP. Talking to other parents, particularly those who have already gone through high school transition, often helps. It might ease your mind to know that most children find things a little hard at first but settle in during the year. Also, other parents who are experienced at the school can give you tips about how things work at the new school.

Stay calm. If you’re calm and reassuring, you’ll give your child more confidence to get through the tough parts. Keep talking.

Don’t be surprised if your kids don’t want you to be as visible at high school as you might have been during the primary years. But they’ll still need family support outside of school, and that it’s all part of the way kids develop greater independence.

T I P S F O R S TA R T I N G H I G H S C H O O L 1. Expectations Talk about what to expect before school starts so they’re aware of the changes.

Discuss different strategies to help them manage. Go to open days.

2. Friendships Give kids a few ideas about how to make new friends. Remind them that everyone else will be nervous too. Encourage them to try and talk to someone they don’t know on their first day – the other child will really appreciate it – & your child will have a new companion for the day.

3. Positivity Listen to concerns but point out the positives. Talk about the opportunities – more independence, different facilities & equipment, more extracurricular activities, more tech, & new subjects. Remind them of other challenges they’ve overcome successfully.

4. Extracurricular Before school starts, sit down with your child & look at the range of activities available at their new school. Which activities might they like to get involved in.

5. Get organised Use a planner to record homework, stay organised and manage workload.

Encourage a study routine for homework each afternoon & to stick to this same routine. This will help develop the time management skills needed.

6. Goals Write down some goals before school starts – social & extracurricular, as well as academic. This will help to motivate through the busy first term & help them feel more in control. Setting goals also helps them take more responsibility for learning & development.

Susa’s earliest memories of Eumundi were when she was a child. Every year her family’s Christmas destination to Lake Cootharaba would have them stopping in Eumundi to get some fuel. When this happened they knew they were nearly at the holiday destination. Because of this, Susa has always had a

soft spot for Eumundi. After being brought up in Brisbane and experiencing the fast pace of city life, Susa finally settled with her husband and two kids in Eumundi and began her pilates journey.

Kym Trewick, Head of Curriculum, Eumundi State School

This decision is made with a heavy heart as we have grown very fond of every one of you who have been part of our Karate and greater community. We thank you for sharing our journey on the Sunny Coast and we hope to continue many of these wonderful friendships we have formed. It has been our pleasure introducing you to Goju Ryu Karate and I hope it has made a valuable contribution to your life.

VERRIERDALE TRAIL CONCERNS

“Learning is the treasure that will follow its owner everywhere, and budo is your friend for life”.

The article also stated Stage 1, the Doonan Bridge Rd Trail, is the first part a trail network extending up the length of Doonan Bridge Rd and including sections in the Doonan Creek Environmental Reserve.

With concern, Verrierdale Residents Group (VRG) note an article in the The Green [Issue 307] by the Yandina Creek Progress Assoc President stating the first stage of a Verrierdale Trail Network got underway on private property at the southern end of Doonan Bridge Rd.

Some special mentions of thanks to those who helped us along the way; Stephanie, Elina, Marina, Wendy, Janet QCWA, Lainie and Jenny EDCA, Cindy ECC, Jan and Lauren OEM, the Civerellas, the McKenzies, the Ravens, and my very first students, Xander, Aaron, Kalen, Noah, Sol, Zavier, Josif, Kobi, Ruby, Zac, Jonny, Simon, Johnny and Nige.

SADNESS & EXCITMENT It is with equal parts sadness and excitement that I announce Karate Community, Eumundi will not be continuing in 2019. Our family has been offered an amazing opportunity in Tasmania that will see us need to relocate.

However, Council have stated that the Doonan Creek Environmental Reserve Management Plan describes constraints associated with a horse trail which was considered in the drafting of the landscape concept plan. Although additional horse trails were requested by some people at a DCER community workshop, including a trail that would extend into the wetland area and adjoining private property, this has not been incorporated into the plan due to the impacts this would have on the core environmental values of the site. VRG and other concerned groups hope that this will in fact be the case.

We will endeavour to return to this beautiful place in the future, but until then, wish you all the very best. We Hope that you will explore other activities that promote personal growth, healthy living and empowerment.

Sincerely, Domo arigato gozaimashita, Peter Zarb, martial artisan and gentleman warrior.

Regards, Mark Jones, Vice-President, VRG.

THE EFFORT IS WORTH THE P I C T U R E S Q U E R E WA R D

Horses for beginners

Charlotte Morgan-Lowe, Year 4, ESS Ignite English

Eumundi local Tara Pitt has grown up with horses, mustered on horse-back and is an amazing barrel racer with her horse Tum Tum. If anyone knows about horses she does.

As I stumble over the piles of rock, my legs ache and I desperately want to turn around and go home. Burning sun shining on my back urges me on, as I can see an arch of trees ahead. I know the end prize when I reach the top is worth the pain and effort.

What should people consider before rushing out to buy or adopt a horse?

When buying a horse you need to consider what the horse will need. A secure and safe fence, access to water, shelter from weather and trees for shade and grass. The paddock should have plenty of grass to feed the required livestock.

What is the best diet for a horse?

A horse’s diet can vary. When looking at your horse’s diet, how much exercise the horse will be getting, the age of the horse and its condition. Some horses can maintain weight more than other breeds of horses. Depending on the weather, horses like to have clean water to drink and if available somewhere to swim.

So a dam or creek would be ideal. In drier months you may need to supplement their diet with extra biscuits of grassy Lucerne several times a day.

How can you tell whether a horse is healthy?

The main areas to check are the teeth. This will show how much the horse has been treated and can also detect their age.

Hooves should have no cracks

and be well-trimmed. Skin and coat should be shinny and no flesh wounds.

The term ‘hands’ is used to measure the height of a horse.

Can you explain this?

To measure a horse you use the term hands, and one hand equals 4 inches. You measure from the withers to the hoof.

Are there any other important things people considering owning a horse should know?

The most important thing to remember is that horses need a lot of attention. A horse should be seen at least once a day to make sure there are no injuries or that it is not unwell. A healthy horse should be fed twice a day with hay/hard feed. Regular exercise and bonding with your horse through brushing and riding can improve your experience with the horse.

Horses are not just lawn mowers, they need lots of love and attention just like us humans. animalfarmsunshinecoast.com Instragram: tarapitt

Finally, shade! The arched trees bend over us and we all sigh in relief, but we know the mountain climb is not over yet. We force ourselves to walk on through the shade, then into the scorching hot sun. As we climb further it feels like hours, but I soon realise it has only been minutes.

Another patch of shade is coming up in front of us, and my mum decides to look at the map.

We are not even half way up. My legs feel like they were going to fall off, but my mum pushed me forward into the sun, there is still more climbing ahead.

My legs are now wobbling and I do not know if they could hold my weight much longer, I sink down into a patch of soft grass and look at the clear blue sky.

Something else catches my eye the top, the top of the mountain!

I stand up immediately and start racing to the top, my aching legs long forgotten.

I call to my mum and brother and they run to catch up with me. We finally reach the top and sink onto our knees and stare at the amazing view from Mount Cooroora. This is just one of the mountains that the hinterland has to offer. I cannot wait for my next mountain climbing adventure.

Outdoors W I L D L I F E WAT C H I N D O O N A N Some interesting wildlife discoveries were made at our property in Doonan over the last few months through the installation of three motionsensor cameras which we use in our work when conducting fauna surveys [Eumundi Green: Issue 289]. After several failed attempts to get a good closeup look of a pair of elusive ground-dwelling birds that we saw scurrying through tall grass along a swale-drainage line at our property, we were able to identify what species they were, along with some other surprising finds when sorting excitedly through the photos.

The birds turned out to be a breeding pair of Pale-vented Bush-hens (Amaurornis moluccana), and to our delight there was a photo of their cute little black fluffy. There were also a number of other species captured on the cameras, some of which we were not aware were roaming around our backyard.

We now have photographic evidence of a Short-beaked Echidna, Northern-brown Bandicoot, several Swamp Wallabies, a Bar-shouldered Dove, Eastern Whipbird, Pheasant Coucal, Brushtail Possum, Brown Quail, and a few concerning finds of a Red fox and two stray domestic cats.

Just when we were thinking we should start cleaning out the muddy swale and brush-cutting back the grass, we understood how important it was to keep these areas as protective habitat

Alina Zwar, Doonan

for these species. We also wanted to make sure they would not become dinner and contacted the Council to set up a cage in attempt to capture and remove the unwanted fox and cats.

We decided to leave some areas of overgrown grass along the swale and invest more time and energy in staging the slow removal of more problematic overgrowing weeds (lantana, molasses grass, groundsel) in other pockets of the block. We engaged the great help of a small team from a local bushland conservation company and worked together to carefully remove weeds. This helped to make way for naturally occurring rainforest grasses; lomandras,

hoveas, alphitonias and emerging eucalypts to provide habitat that should be naturally occurring here in the Hinterland for the native wildlife.

Now we are trying to be very patient with a pesky Brush-turkey scratching his way endlessly around our recently mulched garden beds and spreading it all over the driveway! But we are in

admiration of his dedication and hard work and look forward to meeting his fluffy youngsters soon too.

If you are interested in discovering what elusive wildlife might be wandering around your backyard, we have cameras for hire and also conduct habitat/ biodiversity assessments. wildwise.com.au.
