Editor’s note ... A reprieve from the rain has meant our soggy fields have had the chance to dry out. And with kids back to school, and the tourists (mostly) gone, the village has returned to its usual, happy rhythm. Water tanks are full, cows are content, hills are green and the sun is shining – life is good in the hinterland. Seeing locals of all ages enjoying an afternoon together in the sunshine at Park Sounds on Sunday was lovely (page 7).

Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project Providing access for our region to the world Whether you are ying for pleasure or for work, or looking to export, the Sunshine Coast Airport is a crucial piece of infrastructure for our region. domain for nearly five years and remain so to this day. These flight paths have been the subject of extensive public information and consultative processes along the way.
We’re doing something about that! Sunshine Coast Council is building a new runway that’s bigger, wider and better aligned with prevailing winds so our community can access the world from the Sunshine Coast. A new runway and better facilities means greater accessibility and more opportunities for work, tourism and exporting businesses. The Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project didn’t just happen overnight. It’s been a long time in the making. This project has been the subject of extensive consultation with the community – in both the Sunshine Coast Council and Noosa Shire areas – over many years. It has the approvals required from all levels of government to proceed. Construction of the new runway is underway and is due for completion in 2020. The proposed flight paths to support the new runway have been in the public
The airspace around the Sunshine Coast is very constrained by safety considerations, terrain, populated areas and the fact that this region is part of the Brisbane Basin and therefore its flight paths are close to, and intersect with, the airspace and flight paths servicing the Brisbane Airport and Amberley Air Base. Airservices Australia has made it clear there are very few options in terms of potential viable flight paths for the new runway and that the concept flight paths that have been published since 2014 and subject to community consultation provide a good basis for the detailed design of the new flight paths. The new runway at the Sunshine Coast Airport will benefit the whole community and we look forward to it opening our region to the world. Find out more by searching Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project on council’s website.

Community PA R K M U S I C P E R F E C T I O N On a beautiful winter’s day, Eumundi’s inaugural Park Sounds concert was the perfect excuse to enjoy a lazy afternoon of picnics in the winter sunshine with family and friends in Dick Caplick Park. The afternoon of free music was organised for the community by the Imperial Hotel’s manager Paul Thomas and band booking agent Alice Jones, who wanted to provide, “music loving Eumundi”, with an afternoon of “colour and music.” Park Sounds line-up included; Alisha Todd, Majelen And Smoke & Rain. “It’s so great to see everyone enjoying the bands and the sunshine – everyone is smiling and laughing – and the musicians are loving the vibe too – it’s infectious,” Alice enthused. Alice shared that because the event went so well and was embraced by the community, they’d like to see Park Sounds become a regular event for Eumundi.

Funds delivered for North Arm State School Following the $7million announced in the State Budget for Eumundi State School, I was also delighted to see $429,000 allocated for North Arm State School. This much needed funding will be put to good use by the school to finally upgrade their hall. Congratulations to the school on this fantastic news, which I know will be of great benefit for the local community. And don’t forget this Saturday night (27 July) the school is hosting its annual trivia night, featuring a Christmas in July theme. Grant success Congratulations to the Valdora Community Hall Association and Doonan Netball who were successful in the latest round of the Gambling Community Benefit Fund. The volunteers at Valdora Hall received $34,000 for upgrades and to replace their water tank, while Doonan Netball received $1,140 for new equipment.
Get Started grants Did you know there is also funding assistance available to help with the cost of your children’s sports and club membership? The next round of the Get Started program is now open, which provides grants of $150 per child to eligible families. Eligibility includes children aged between 5 and 17 whose parent, guardian or carer holds a valid Centrelink Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card with the child’s name on it. For further details visit qld.gov.au/recreation/sports/ funding/getinthegame/ getstarted. Vinnies Sleepout It’s concerning to think that every night, close to 1,600 men, women and children in our region have nowhere to call home and are forced to sleep on the streets. Having witnessed it firsthand in my former life as a police officer, this year I am joining other community members for the annual Vinnies Sleepout, to help raise awareness and funds, for vulnerable people in our community experiencing or at risk of homelessness. If you would like to get involved or help raise money for this very worthy cause, you can visit communitysleepout.org.au/ sunshine-coast.
Firstly, I would like to thank the community of Eumundi and surrounds for their understanding in relation to the Eumundi Police Station driveway renovation that has occurred over the last month. The station finally has a public carpark for police business. No longer will people have to park down the road and walk up. When I arrived here in January my plan was to fix the look of the station to better reflect the community of Eumundi. June has not been a quiet month for the region with break-ins at both Joe’s Waterhole and The Imperial Hotel. The second offence resulted in a police pursuit towards Deception Bay. Verrierdale also saw a couple of vehicles broken into. Please lock up your vehicles even if they are in your driveway. Throughout June, seven drink drivers were caught, two unlicensed drivers and eight drug drivers. Eumundi police arrested five offenders also for drug offences. 2019 has been a busy year so far for myself, Blair (left) and Craig (centre) at the Eumundi Police Station. At this halfway point of the year we have already exceeded the arrests and charges from 2018. We usually have around 50 ongoing investigations at
Eumundi Police Station’s new visitor parking and driveway.
any given time. With crime on the increase, now more than ever, we appreciate public assistance in stopping crime within our beautiful community. Road Policing Unit (State and Nambour traffic branch) have reported 82 infringement notices, mostly for speeding within Eumundi Division for the month of June. Please slow down, buckle up and stop using mobile phones whilst driving. Mobile phones and speeding are still the biggest causes of single vehicle accidents.

Arts A M A N D A A LWAY S C R E AT I V E From a small child who loved art, then becoming a florist, an art teacher, and now a professional artist, being creative has always been a part of Amanda Brooks’ life - a life that has always included a love for design and colour. Growing up in South Africa, Amanda’s creativity began to flourish when she spent her time drawing small house plans and decorating them with furniture. Amanda now lives and works from her home studio in Doonan. She has always loved to draw and paint and has been creating inspiring pieces of colour and beauty professionally now for over 20 years. Describing her style as impressionism, Amanda has developed her own loose, abstract style of painting which is characterised by energetic brushstrokes. She loves painting vibrant florals and Australian natives. Amanda sees painting as

an emotional journey. “I am constantly learning and evolving,” she said. But Amanda shared creating artworks comes with its own challenges such as constantly coming up with new and exciting ideas while staying individual and unique. Amanda loves being an artist and living in our hinterland. While she can work from home and still spend time with her family, living here allows her to also enjoy the bush, the beach, long walks and time on the family boat. artbybrooks.com.au

Books MILES FRANKLIN 2019 With the announcement of its 2019 shortlist, it’s time again for the run up to the winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award on 30 July. Established in 1957, as a directive of her will, the Miles Franklin Award is the legacy of Stella Miles Franklin and is recognised as Australia’s premier literary award. This year’s list is an eclectic mix of established and new writers, some of which have been listed before. Nominees are: • The Lebs Michael Mohammed Ahmad; • A Sand Archive Gregory Day; • A Stolen Season Rodney Hall; • The Death of Noah Glass Gail Jones; • Too Much Lip Melissa Lucashenko; • Dyschronia Jennifer Mills. Although all the books look promising, I’m picking Lucashenko’s Too Much Lip, partly because of her previous novel, Mullumbimby, which has a similar setting (Bundjalung country in New South Wales) and which explores similar themes such as culture played out in a modern setting, politics, land rights and feminism. Too Much Lip has also been shortlisted for the Stella Prize (the little sister of the Miles Franklin), the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards, the NSW Premier’s Literary
Judith Pattison, Doonan
Awards and the Australian Book Industry Awards, so it has been properly introduced! Lucashenko’s bio describes her as “an acclaimed Aboriginal writer of Goorie and European heritage”. This is a pivotal part of her writing. In an interview, Lucashenko says that as she was writing, events that had been hidden in her own family were being revealed to her; life and art began to merge. “It was uncanny. I discovered that I was writing hidden history without being aware of how close to home I was. If you stick at it long enough you will eventually discover that you were writing truth where you thought you were writing fiction,” she shared. While I admire carefully crafted, well-made fiction, this book is rougher, rawer and ultimately satisfying. It challenges the reader to commit and rewards
with new understanding. Lucashenko has managed to produce memorable characters, vivid settings and a compelling plot, weaving it together until the end with humour and plot twists. I sometimes wonder what Miles Franklin would think of the current short list and winners as measured against her criteria for the novel, judged as being “of the highest literary merit” and which presents “Australian life in any of its phases.” It’s a different Australia than she knew, better in many ways, but I’d like to imagine that Too Much Lip would be especially pleasing to her rebellious sensibilities.
Dr Bernadette Brennan on behalf of the judging panel said: More than 60 years after Stella Miles Franklin’s trailblazing philanthropic endeavour, the Australian literary community continues to thrive. As a trustee of this award we are incredibly proud of her enduring legacy. The six shortlisted authors offer new perspectives on Australian culture and society. The 2019 winner, to be announced 30 July, will receive $60,000 for the novel judged as being “of the highest literary merit,” and which presents, “Australian life in any of its phases.”

Health EXERCISE FOR OLDER PEOPLE Regular physical activity in older adults can facilitate healthy aging, improve functional capacity and prevent disease. Some physiological changes that occur with ageing include: decline in cardiovascular output and respiratory function; higher blood pressure; decrease in lung capacity; decrease in muscular strength and muscle mass; as well as reduction in bone strength and density. With some low to moderate intensity exercises several times a week, including a variety of different exercises, older adults can delay or avoid many of the
Brooke Conlan, Personal Trainer, Eumundi
health risks associated with ageing. Some of the benefits of exercise for older adults include: • Building healthy bones, strong joints and muscles & reducing the risk of falls • Improving cardiac function & reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes & some cancers • Improving mobility & flexibility • Improving state of mind & mental health through social interactions • Encouraging more independence by allowing
older adults perform daily functional tasks • Helping to manage chronic diseases like arthritis So what exercises should the older population be doing? Balance exercises are excellent for training stabilizing muscles – single leg balances and using equipment like balance pillows to perform such exercises are also recommended.
Mobility exercises allow joints to move through their range of motion more freely. Strength exercises using light weights, band or just body weight, help maintain muscle bass and bone strength. Cardio exercises like brisk walking, running, swimming, hiking, cycling improve cardiac and respiratory function. 0408 077 699
Flexibility exercises, including static stretches and yoga movements, help keep tight muscles lengthened and prevent limited movement.

Creamy carrot and ginger soup Nicole Moore, NPSS kitchen coordinator, Doonan
I am always challenged when people ask me for one of my recipes. I’m one of those annoying people who cook intuitively with a bit of this and a bit of that and change it up all the time. It has been a real discipline for me in my own food business and in the Noosa Pengari Steiner School kitchen, to create a recipe and stick to it. I have been following recipes my whole life from - 16 when I started my apprenticeship as a pastry chef and through a career cooking in a variety of restaurants and cafés - but when it comes to cooking at home and creating dishes, I have a strong aversion to following recipes - even my own! I just love cooking and creating food. It fills me up and nourishes me (on a soul level), and hopefully everyone around me. The first recipe that I have chosen to share in the Green is a simple one but a favourite in my house and a great winter warmer. It turned my daughter from strongly disliking soup to loving it! Plus, it’s a great way to slip in a few extra veggies - which is always on my agenda. My children love to top their soup with sliced sausage. I know this sounds a bit weird, my daughter came home with the request after a visit to our German friend’s house, and I must say it is tasty. I am very picky with sausages and only buy them from John at Eumundi Meats – like so many locals. Christine at Greenacre Organics in Eumundi also stocks them too. Finish with a dollop of yoghurt and toasted seeds. Bon Appetite!
Eumundi Rotary Club has received Sunshine Coast Council approval, for a Recycling Cash for Cans Station in town. The pod will be placed in the Council owned paved parking area near the Market toilets below the terraces.
Ingredients
Method
1 lg onion diced
Heat pot on a medium heat. Add half a cup of coconut oil (or your choice of oil).
2 inches ginger finely diced or grated 1 long red chilli deseeded and chopped (optional)
Rotary members will be on hand in the early days to explain the system and help those depositing for the first few times.
1 lg clove garlic diced (or 2 small)
Rotary will take on the responsibility of ensuring the pod is of continuing advantage to the community and the environment. As the date of operation approaches more details will be explained in The Green.
3 med carrots
Members and visitors will be treated to a talk about Bamboo, growing and uses, by international Expert, Durnford Dart, from Bamboo Australia in Belli Park. All welcome to attend at 5.30 pm on Thursday 8th August For more details please call Greg on 0408 023 094
2 sticks of celery 1 med sweet potato 1 wedge of jap pumpkin or a very small butternut pumpkin 2 med zucchinis 900ml stock (Chicken or Veggie) 1 can coconut cream Salt & pepper to taste Grass fed gelatine (optional)
14
Once melted add onion, ginger and celery. Sauté lightly for a couple of minutes. Then add chilli and carrot, lower heat and place lid on to allow ingredients to sweat to draw out the flavours, for about 7-8 mins. Add stock (chicken or veggie) and coconut cream, add some water if needed to cover vegetables. Place lid on until simmering then remove and leave on a low simmer or with lid half on. When veggies are about half cooked
add 1 tsp salt (Himalayan or Celtic) and diced garlic. I like to add the garlic later in cooking to increase the medicinal qualities. At this point I also add a tblsp of Nutra-organics grass fed gelatine as I believe it adds an extra nourishing, gut healing, quality, this of course is optional. Continue a low simmer until everything is tender, then remove from heat, add more salt if needed and pepper and blend. Delicious on its own or topped with yoghurt or coconut yoghurt and herbs, sausage (meat or veggie) or toasted seeds.

Heritage E U M U N D I ’ S H E R I TA G E H O U S E S Wendy Birrell, Discover Eumundi manager
Mary Burke and her brother outside her home Hazelwood in 1930. Many of Eumundi’s streets are named after early Eumundi families. Gridley, Etheridge, Pacey, Low - to name a few. They were named this way because the families owned land and had houses in these streets. At Discover Eumundi we have identified over 300 images in our large photographic collection that relate to houses in Eumundi from early settlement in the 1890’s to today. In 1998 a photographic survey was done, and photos were taken of almost every house and business in the main town area. These photos are very popular with people who move to Eumundi and often come in wanting to know who lived in the house they now own. Discover Eumundi is planning an exhibition in its Wan’din’in arts space on our Eumundi houses, the various styles of house, what we love about our homes, who lived in our houses long ago, treasures found under floorboards or garden beds, and even who built them. Research will soon start on who lived where, which will involve looking back into online documents, old newspapers as well as the
Riddel Slab Hut Shingle Roof c 1924
large collection of old maps held at Discover Eumundi. It will also include the collection of memories people have of living in the houses and hopefully donations or loans of some photos from the community. If you think you may be able to assist with this project then please contact Discover Eumundi, 5442 8762 or info@discovereumundi.com

LOCAL WILDLIFE IN SAFE H A N D S Molly Walker, Year 5, ESS Ignite English
One of Kay’s most unusual cases was of the two brush tail possums, Joseph and Josephine. When they first came into care, Kay did not know their history. Initially they were so stressed that she had to wear long sleeves so that the possums did not scratch her arms. Luckily, after a few weeks the possums started to calm down and became kind and charming characters, which pleased Kay
Kirstie Henning, Holistic Animal Nutritionist, North Arm
Using animals to protect your herd
Releasing six lorikeets together and to see them fly off screeching with joy, is one of Kay Dawson’s most memorable moments. Kay works with an organisation named Wilvos and she is often called on to rescue and save wildlife. These lorikeets were sick or injured when she found them, so Kay cared for them and nursed them back to be active, healthy animals. As you may have predicted, Wilvos an organisation that strives to care for sick or injured animals. These feathery critters are not the only animals that Kay has cared for, there are many, many others. For example, the two beloved brush tail possums (bottom right)., and three baby ringtail possums (top right). Kay has had a love for animals since she was young, with this growing even stronger during the last three years while she has worked with the Wilvos. This wildlife rescuer also loves to spend time with her fellow workmates and talk about their strong passion for animals. Releasing an animal once its healthy again, is what Kay cherishes most. However, it is not all about being with the animals, Kay is also highly involved with the administration side of the work where she replies to the calls on the hotline and takes records of the animals. She gives instructions to the people who find the animals that are in need of help, for example, do not put an echidna in a cardboard box or it will walk straight through it!

Unfortunately in our hinterland region, sheep, goats and other young animals such as calves, can become prey for wild dogs and foxes - particularly at night. What animals can you consider introducing to your property to try and protect your herd? Maremma Dogs This breed of dog was originally used in Italy to protect sheep and goats against wolves, bears and wild dog attacks. The Sunshine Coast does have a wild dog problem, there are foxes around and farmers can loose livestock, chickens and ducks. a lot. Joseph and Josephine were in Kay’s care for approximately four months. Once they had reached the one kilo weight, they were released on Kay’s property. Only weeks after their release they returned on their own for a late night visit, but Kay resisted the temptation to feed or treat them as to not encourage them to visit again so they would be independent in the wild. Kay felt much rewarded after their visit as she should be. Kay also cared for an adult possum and the release was really mesmerising. As she released the possum it looked up at her. Kay felt the look that the possum gave her was almost as if it was acknowledging what she had done for it.
Benefits: • Not an aggressive breed and rely on their bark and size to deter predators • Highly intelligent • Will protect their flock/herd and even family members • They live outside as working dogs Disadvantages: • Can be noisy at night as they are doing their job by barking at potential predators. This can annoy neighbours and keep you awake • Training can be a long process but once trained they will do their job for life • May not like strange people entering the property and may bark until they leave
Wilvo Wildlife emergency hotline is available 24/7 on 5441 6200.
Price: $500-$900 for pups that need training.
Eumundi’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is open to receive injured or sick animals 24/7 at 1411 Eumundi-Noosa Rd, 5442 8057.
These seemingly gentle animals can make great protectors. I have personally seen my male alpaca chase and hold down a medium sized pig that entered my goat pen. I had to physically

Alpacas
{ T H E G R E E N 24 July 2019
pull my pig out from under him before he died of suffocation. Benefits: • Very quiet animals • They do not consume a lot of grass/feed • Can be tame and make good pets • Can be halter trained Disadvantages: • Need to be sheared at least annually by a professional and have their feet trimmed • You require more than one alpaca as they are herd animals and fret without the company of another alpaca Price: $350 to $1000+. There are other breeds of dogs that can give off scary barks and deter predators and some people even use geese! If you have ever been chased by an aggressive goose you will know how scary this can be!

Noosa Council’s new Environment Grants program aims to support the community’s environment project goals. It offers one-off project grants of up to $30,000 annually, plus organisational grants to help enviro groups cover operating costs. Council’s Environment Manager Craig Doolan said the projects funded in this first round include: Noosa & District Landcare’s rare tree project; Noosa Integrated Catchment Association’s shorebird monitoring project; plus Noosa Bush Beach and Creek Care’s weeding exercise to remove Morning Glory and Singapore Daisy then replant with natives.
“Shorebirds travel to Noosa from Siberia, but in other parts of the world some of their habitats are declining, so it will be interesting to find out whether we are seeing the impacts of this in Noosa,” Mr Doolan said. Council also approved threeyear Alliance grants to support environment-related community groups in their day-to-day operations, including; Flying-fox Rescue Release Noosa, Zero Emissions Noosa and Wildcare. Noosa Council is now seeking applications for multi-year collaborative grants for significant environment projects. noosa.qld.gov.au/council-grants

Letters COU NCI L TRE E CAR E Recently I met Barry. He was wearing a hivis vest with the Sunshine Coast Council logo and was standing on the road under the fig trees by the park looking up and taking photos. “Oh oh,” I said to myself, “Hi,” I said to him, “What are you looking at?” He explained that he was looking at the overhanging fig tree branches. “Oh no,” I said to myself, “What’s the problem?” I said, “I love this shady street!” Barry agreed. After assuring me there was no intention at all to hurt the trees we chatted. He talked about how as the branches grow longer and hence heavier they curve and hang down more. (I could see this - it’s what he was photographing.) And how Council has to trim these branches because they get hit by high vehicles. He pointed to abrasions on the wood above us and assured me that they

wouldn’t chop the branches back more than necessary. Then he talked about the work being done behind-the -scenes that I was totally unaware of. Such as the taking of cuttings from the hundred plus year old trees in the park. They are grown on in the Council nursery so that their genetic material is not lost if or when a cyclone or disease takes out one of our precious trees. He noted that these old trees are not varieties that are available for purchase today. Specific trees from which he has taken cuttings are even labelled according to the WWI soldier in whose memory they were planted. Any needed replacements can be made from such nurtured stock. Barry thinks maybe there are two kinds of people in the world: those who love trees and those who see them as a nuisance! He said they get a lot of calls from people
of the second variet y. They generally want the Council to do something about the trees that are impinging on their lifestyle. The first group probably appreciate all of the effort the Council team go to in tree planting and care. Barry said he would love to hear from people more often about trees that they love, trees that they would like to see more of, possibilities of tree plantings. On plantings, he talked about the restrictions that they face in terms are space availability, shade, visual obstruction of business adver tising. If Barry is an example my eyes are opened to the thoughtful and somewhat constrained work being done by these caring and trained people working for Council. I’m grateful too that I didn’t jump to speak what I was initially thinking when I saw him standing on the road, looking up and taking photographs. Joan McVilly, Eumundi.

The start of the new Financial Year has seen the continued growth of our hinterland market. Kess and Graham have sold 14 properties in the last 6 weeks with an average selling price of $1.18m and we predict that this positive outlook will last well into 2020. The political landscape is as stable as it’s been for many years and property commentators are now reporting increased sales activity and price growth in the Sydney and Melbourne markets – this can only bode well for our local market. There is also a significant recent trend of long-term beachside residents now making the move to the hinterland to reclaim the quiet and peaceful environment that first attracted them to the region. To take advantage of these fantastic selling conditions, please call either Kess or Graham.
