The hospice provides 24/7 end-of-life care and is set in three acres of gardens which are a beautiful place for guests and relatives, visitors, hospice staff and volunteers to sit and reflect in one of the many seating areas or in the Japanese Tea House. With the support of local communities, the

hospice continues to grow. Fundraising through the Katie Rose Cottage Hospice Op Shops, general donations and other activities generate 80% of budget, with the remaining percentage met from the State Government Service Agreement. Chair of KRCH Carol Raye says, “We are always so grateful to our communities for their support and thank Noosa Council for the Community Grant Program and the support from Councillors and staff.” For more information on Katie Rose Cottage visit www.katierosecottage.org.au.

What’s on

Beery smiles from a recent festival

Hinterland Craft Beer Festival The third Hinterland Craft Beer Festival will be held at the Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 26 June from 12noon to 8.00pm. This is a free, family fun event bringing eight local craft brewers together: Eumundi Brewery, Heads of Noosa, Copperhead Brewery, Boiling Pot Brewing Co, Moffat Beach Brewery, Sunshine Brewery, Brouhaha Brewery, and Your Mates Brewing. To quench your thirst there will be 40 craft beers on offer with ales, lagers, sours, porters, stouts, IPA’s and other specialty beers. Festival goers will also have the chance to taste and vote for the two finalist brews in Eumundi Brewery’s ‘Brewed by EU’ beer competition—a Pineapple, Ginger and Macadamia Sour and a Black Cockatoo Smoked Lager. Online voting commences Saturday 26 June. If you know a thing or two about brewing and are passionate about craft beer, this is a great chance to meet and share stories with the brewers who will be there on the day. There will be live music, plus a special beer fest karaoke in The Bunker, roving performers and of course delicious food. To complement the fun there will also be a pinball lane set up for the day, and old pub games.

Sunrise at Lake Weyba

Winter Solstice Monday 21 June at 1:32 pm (AEST) marks the winter solstice in Australia, the ‘shortest’ day of the year. There are 3 hours and 29 minutes less daylight on the winter solstice than there are on the ‘longest’ day of the year at the December summer solstice. When the north pole is at its maximum tilt towards the sun, the northern hemisphere is receiving maximum sunlight, and the southern hemisphere is receiving minimum sunlight. But we can look forward to a gradual increase in daylight until December.

Reimagine Nambour Soiree at Tram Terminus Community organisation Reimagine Nambour was formed in 2020 to create a roadmap for Nambour’s future. It is partnering with Tramco and Nambour Chamber of Commerce to host Nambour’s first soiree at the garden at the Nambour Tram Terminus on 18 June 5-7pm. The celebration includes a chance to learn about Nambour’s new brand and collaborative projects improving Nambour. See www. reimaginenambour.com.au.

New park for Nambour Sunshine Coast Council announced a new 1.7 hectare park in Howard St next to the existing Quota Memorial Park adding to a network of parklands running through the heart of Nambour. Work on the $650,000 project will start mid-June and be completed by September. “The new parkland area will extend Quota Park and enhance the overall Petrie Creek open space corridor that stretches from Arundell Ave roundabout to Crusher Park just beyond the Nambour Showgrounds,” says Environment and Liveability Portfolio Cr Maria Suarez.

Tram of thought The Nambour community is pushing for a tram to run along the heritage train tracks that link the eastern side of Nambour to the west side along Howard St. Div 10 Cr David Law says, “I am proud to have connected Sunshine Coast artist Russell Anderson with the Nambour Tram Company who have searched everywhere for someone to build the tram. And now we have a true local building it. Where else in the world can you ride on a piece of public art through the streets?” See www.facebook.com/NambourTram/.

Div 10 Cr David Law explained, “Sunshine Coast Council consulted with the community in 2018 on what they would like to see in the new park and one of the main requests was a dog off-leash area which will be a feature of the new parkland.” Features will include a generous 4700m2 area for the off-leash dog exercise area with agility equipment, along with 92 native shade trees and 4429 native shrubs, and 600m of new pathways throughout the area. Council has worked closely on the design of the park with Kabi First Nations representatives and with the Petrie Creek Catchment Group to incorporate their feedback for increased vegetation.

Nambour Garden Expo A three-day Qld Garden Expo celebrating gardening will be held at the Nambour Showgrounds 9-11 July. This event is Queensland’s premier gardening event with over 40,000 visitors expected for lectures, demonstrations, workshops, plus 360 exhibits. These include a giant kitchen garden feature, a cooking stage and free kids’ activities. Tickets www.qldgardenexpo.com.au. 4

Local news

Yandina servo Sunshine Coast Council has rejected an application to build a service station in the heart of Yandina. Council planners said the development is not in keeping with, or respectful to, the streetscape character and heritage values of the Yandina Character Area, creating traffic problems and pedestrian hazards. The Yandina and District Community Association (YADCA), which coordinated the Stop the Servo campaign, congratulated council on its decision. “The community welcomes the council’s decision which is very encouraging,” said YADCA President Nigel Anns. The applicant has 20 days to appeal. Full details developmenti. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au. Search Application Number MCU21/0003.

Queensland Day Sunday 6 June marked Queensland’s 162nd birthday and its official separation from New South Wales from as an independent colony in 1859. Queensland was given Sir George Ferguson Bowen 1859 its own constitution, and (StateLibQld) the first Governor was Sir George Bowen. Over five million people now call Queensland home, and this June is a chance to celebrate our culture, heritage, people, places and industry, and reflect on what it means to be a Queenslander. As part of Queensland Day, the state government runs Queensland Greats Awards recognising the notable contributions of individuals to the development and history of the state. The winners will be announced later this month. 6

Nominate your treasurer As many of us realise, working for the community as a volunteer brings reward and fulfilment. At times though, important contributions go unnoticed. The Commonwealth Bank knows first-hand the important role that treasurers play and offers some recognition to those in that role.

QCWA Eumundi’s treasurer Barbara Robinson

The website explains, “Every community organisation understands how much they owe to the person who keeps track of the finances. But they don’t often tell them so. Our Community and the Commonwealth Bank and their Not-forProfit Sector banking team believe Australia’s treasurers deserve some recognition.” Qld Country Women’s Assn (QCWA) Eumundi has nominated Barbara Robinson, their Branch and Division Treasurer during her 25 years of service. Her work is greatly appreciated by her association. To nominate your treasurer complete the forms at Not-for-profit Treasurer’s Awards closing 8 July. Submissions are assessed across categories for a $5000 prize in each category. Winners will be announced at a gala event held during Not-forProfit Finance Week in August.

And the new building grew— from the dirt to the sky

m p e titi o

4-6 Yea rs

By Ruby S (Year 5) Winner Years 4-6 Dirt. Red earth. Nothing but dirt. No life. Just dirt. Diggers, trucks, bulldozers and fences. Lot of fences. Then it sprouted. The first floor. Just like the shoot of a tree…. Time ticks by. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months. Finally, the frame is done. There’s a mini tree. Next, the bricks, lined up in a row. Up and up they go. Just like leaves as they grow. Now the windows. The leaves are getting bigger. Everything’s coming together. The holidays are here. I wonder what it’s going to look like when we get back. Will it be finished? We are back, it appears not much has changed. Yet, the roof goes on. The tree trunk grows strong. The concrete hardens on the eating area floor, the tree roots strengthen and travel down. Now I see dark green paint, all the walls are done. The pretty, purple buds on the tree are blossoming. The rich, brown bark is getting thicker on the now huge tree. The branches are growing out,

the space on the oval is expanding. Fences are down. There stands the big, modern building, complete. Just like the beautiful, green and purple tree, fully grown.

We are thrilled to be a part of the Eumundi community and to support our children’s learning and growth. www.eumundipalms.com.au

Business Chamber of Commerce AGM The Eumundi Chamber of Commerce is a key community group that connects local businesses and promotes our town as it builds closer relationships with Sunshine Coast Council (SCC), State and Federal governments, as well as Visit Sunshine Coast and Noosa Tourism, and the Queensland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIQ). At the AGM held at The Imperial Hotel 26 May Chamber President David Perez thanked the management team saying, “without their dedication none of our achievements could have been made possible.” He also thanked DIv 10 Cr David Law for his ongoing support and “willingness and capacity to work collaboratively with Chamber.” A current membership of over 50, with an increase in new memberships even during Covid19, has enabled the Chamber to represent a broader section of the business community and communicate with regional partners and stakeholders. Chamber has consistently lobbied SCC since 2018 to ensure Eumundi’s specific identity distinguishes it as a feature destination for visitors to the Sunshine Coast, highlighting the need for a town centre upgrade. The preplanning stage of the placemaking project has now commenced with Chamber continuing to be involved through further stages. Through Eumundi Combined Community Organisation (ECCO) Ltd Chamber is focussed

Pets Woof woof. Come read to me Story Dogs is a wonderful program that encourages struggling young readers to develop confidence and skills—by reading to a pooch during school hours. Many primary schools on the Sunshine Coast have Story Dogs, and now Eumundi State School is visited by two Story Dog teams each week. On Wednesday and Thursday mornings, Fiona with ‘Duke’ or Kim with ‘Charli’ are in the library—with a stack of books, a dog rug, beanbag and doggie treats—reading with students selected by the school. The calm, loving nature of participating dogs gives the program its special appeal, but it is the encouragement to keep trying to sound out words to the dog, or asking the child about what the dog would be hearing when they read, that helps children relax, open up and, over the year, read more challenging books knowing that their dog audience is not judging them, but just listening. Their confidence grows, and their attitude towards reading improves. Internationally acclaimed Australian children’s author and illustrator Graeme Base saw the potential: “Literacy is crucial to every child’s future, and those who fall behind when they are young inevitably struggle to catch up. What better way to break down the barriers—than by sharing a book with a dog who needs a little help with some of the words?” Story Dogs Australia came about when friends Leah Sheldon and Janine Sigley trialled a program in 2009 in their own children’s school

in Murwillumbah. They pushed through the initial hesitation from educators which changed when significant improvements in participating children were noted, as well as positive feedback from children, teachers and parents. Volunteers take their own dogs through training, vet checks and an assessment to ensure they are ready to read with students. All generously give their time each week. Story Dogs is a not-for-profit reading support program available at no cost to all primary schools. It has grown to 516 dog teams that help more than 2585 children, in over 300 schools each week across Australia. Story Dogs relies on other organisations to cover the costs through dog sponsorships, fundraising and donations. More teams are needed. See www.storydogs.org.au for information on how to volunteer.

Our philosophy of Heart, Mind and Earth nurtures our students through their development. Our huge range of extra-curricula offerings and family-orientated approach aims to make your child’s primary years the very best. BOOK A TOUR OF OUR BEAUTIFUL SCHOOL.

What’s Happening In the Property Market? If you’re about to sell your property right now, the biggest question often posed is whether to auction, or market with a price, or use an ‘Offers Over’ scenario. With auctions, Interstate buyers are often frustrated they can’t be given a price range and that’s because in NSW and Victoria this is provided, within 10% of the expected sale price. But we’re different in Queensland … (haven’t we heard that before!?) it is prohibited to provide an expected price range and this understandably does cause confusion. The Buyers also require to be cashed up, willing to settle on the Sellers terms, and either accept the building and pest inspection provided by the Seller or arrange for their own, prior to the auction. An auction does have the advantage of attracting Buyers who see the property and its benefits rather than just whether it fits within their price bracket - and as I’ve seen over the past 17 years, Buyers jump up and

down in terms of what they plan to spend. An ‘Offers Over’ scenario works well in all price ranges as long as the agent responsibly represents the Sellers expectation, which is usually exceeded: these Contracts often have conditions that the Buyer must satisfy, post Contract, like finance approval or building inspections. There is usually wider scope to vary the terms, i.e. more flexibility around settlement date, rent backs etc in the Sellers favour. Marketing with a fixed price, the traditional way for private treaty sets a price and it’s for the Buyers to negotiate the closest they can to this. So, you can see why this is a much asked question and there are merits in all methods. If you’d like to discuss this further with relevance to your own property, do please get in touch and I’ll go into more detail.

Working from home

Asked if he would ever consider getting office space locally, Angus explained that, apart from the obvious cost factor, he greatly enjoys the freedom of being able to help out with childrearing and has the flexibility to choose the hours he works especially when a burst of inspiration hits him. He finds he is more creative when in control of the space around him. Angus sees no downside to working from home and plans to work like this for the foreseeable future. He believes that today’s technology and changed attitudes to remote working can easily accommodate can easily accommodate future business expansion. See www.coralfilmco.com.

Angus and Olivia Mead, with Charlie and Lily Two years ago, before anyone had ever heard of Covid19, in the days before Zoom and contact tracing had become part of our everyday language, and when the concept of working from home was reserved for the fortunate few, Angus Mead, a young video producer, and his wife Olivia, decided to move from Sydney to work from home on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. With their young son Charlie, the couple now live happily with Olivia’s parents in a quiet pocket of Doonan, along with recently arrived baby Lily. I caught up with Angus to find out the benefits and potential downsides to working from home. Angus worked in Sydney in media for several years before deciding to set up his own company. The firm that had employed him had in fact laughed at him when he said he was going to work remotely from home in Queensland. Ironically, he now works as a contractor to them and produces consistent work.

Happy to have you and your lovely family with us Angus! Paula Martin

Our brigade is located in the heart of Eumundi and our function is to fight bushfires in the Eumundi area. We are seeking volunteers willing to join our brigade so we can provide better protection to the Eumundi community during the next fire season. We are seeking both men and women and welcome more female firefighters. You must be aged 18 years or over, and fit, and preferably live within five minutes from the fire station. A good sense of humour is respected. We provide training and fire protective clothing.

Timber bridge

Vital information needed about our community The members of the Eumundi Rural Fire Brigade need your help to provide better protection for your property. If you have a timber bridge over a creek running through your property, we would like to assess the capacity of the bridge to support our firefighting vehicles that range from 4t to 9t in weight. We also like to know if you have a creek running through your property so we can assess what type of vehicle will be able to cross it. We are also interested in the dimensions of access and exits to your property—as well as the steepness of the land—and other hazards. This information is needed because we recently attended a grass fire and to fight it our vehicles had to cross a timber bridge which was similar

to the bridge shown in the photograph (p16). When the capacity of the bridge was assessed, we had to reduce the load of our 9t firefighting vehicle to ensure we could cross it without damaging the bridge. It was a very close thing.

gov.au and find current bushfires and warnings. Have a water hose ready to extinguish any spot fires that are started by embers from the burning stack. Notify your adjoining neighbours that you intend to light a stack on your property.

So, if you have a creek or a bridge on your property that might have restricted access or load limits, please phone to make a time for us to conduct an inspection of your property. This will mean we can better protect your property. Please contact Training Officer Andrew on 0417 449 750.

If the stack is more than 2m x 2m x 2m then a permit is required from your area Fire Warden. To find your local Fire Warden see www.qfes.qld. gov.au/safety-education/using-fire-outdoors/ fire-wardens. Enter your address into the search field in the map and it will display the Fire Warden District for that address and the contact number for the Fire Warden.

Check before you light that bonfire (stackburn)

Candles and fire safety

In rural Qld the use of fire is controlled through the volunteer Fire Warden network. If you live in an urban or rural fringe community the Fire Warden could be your local fire station. The Fire Warden’s role includes granting or rejecting applications for a permit to light fire; determining the conditions under which permitted fires can be lit; advising owners and occupiers of the need for fuel and hazard reduction; and recommending safety precautions for the protection of homes and assets. In Qld, Fire and Emergency Services refer to bonfires as stack burns. Locate the stack at least 10m in all directions from trees and buildings. Measure the stack before you set it alight. If it is less than 2m long x 2m wide x 2m high there is no need to obtain a permit. Check Council’s website or phone 5475 7272 or 1300 007 272 and find out if you may light a fire. Check if there is a fire ban declared for your area. See www.qfes.qld.

Lovely to look at—but unattended candles cause millions of dollars of damage and have destroyed homes. Candles can fall over, setting fire to soft furnishings. Light-weight curtains can blow into the flame and ignite. Simple safety measures include ensuring lit candles are nowhere near curtains, they are placed on fire-resistant surfaces like a plate or dish, and are extinguished when leaving a room or going to sleep. Alternatively, use flameless, battery operated LED electronic candles. Have torches ready for a power outage—they are safer than walking around with a naked flame. Extinguish a candle by blowing it out. Never use water because putting water on a candle that has burned down into a pool of hot, liquid wax may lead to a rapid expansion of the candle’s flame into a ball of fire causing burn injuries and the rapid spread of fire.

Scam calls On a positive note, Australian telecommunication companies (telcos) have “blocked more than 55 million scam calls to Australian phone numbers since a new industry code was introduced by the federal government in December 2020,” says Minister for Communications, Urban Infrastructure, Cities and the Arts, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP. In 2020, Australians lost a reported $48 million to scam calls. The code sets out how telcos should identify, trace and also block calls. IDCARE is a not-for-profit charity based in Caloundra, which this year will help hundreds of thousands of individuals, banks and government agencies in Australia and NZ which have fallen victim and need help to restore their digital identity and improve account security.

Community

Change the ending, let’s stop domestic violence

Volunteer with Eumundi Voice “What is the essence of life? To serve others and to do good,” said Greek philosopher Aristotle over 2300 years ago. Possibly one of the most ancient quotes about volunteering, it offers proof that giving back to the community is hardly a new concept. Each issue of Eumundi Voice depends on a wonderful bunch of 50+ volunteers. Help is needed to fill gaps with editing and delivering. Phone 0431 222 597 for more information.

The Red Bench Project Four red benches have been installed across the Sunshine Coast. Brainchild of not-for-profit charity The Red Rose Foundation, The Red Bench project is a novel effort to remind people of the ugly presence of domestic violence in communities. Participating in a national campaign, Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) has positioned the red benches at Nambour, Alexandra Headland, Caloundra and Maleny. Each has a plaque with the inscribed message: Change the ending, let’s stop domestic violence. Prominent locations of the benches are chosen for maximum visibility— creating a talking point and calling people to action. 20

Domestic violence is a problem that sees at least one woman killed every week, according to the organisation Destroy the Joint. Statistics from Mission Australia continue the grim story. In 2019/20, 23% of Australian women experienced violence from an intimate partner. Eighty percent of these women said their child had seen or heard the violence. Red Rose Foundation Chief Executive Betty Taylor says she is pleased to see SCC join other local government areas in this initiative. “Our goal is for every single local government in Australia to have a red bench in their community. Everyone has a responsibility to play a role in raising awareness against domestic and family violence.” If you suspect someone you know is being abused, depending on the situation, there are three ways you can help. 1. Talk to the victim. 2. Provide resources and help them take action. 3. In an emergency call triple zero (000) or 106 (for hearing, speech impediments). If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, call 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for advice or support. The service is open 24hrs and provides confidential advice.

Dan PURDIE MP Member for Ninderry

Sign for Sian Thank you to everyone who has supported the petition to keep convicted killer Barrie Watts behind bars. The response has been truly overwhelming. As former Police Commissioner Bob Atkinson said, some offenders lose the right to ever be introduced back into society. We need to send a clear message to the Queensland Parole Board that for the worst of the worst offenders, life means life. I hope to table the petition in Parliament this week. Voluntary Assisted Dying Later this month, residents should receive a copy of my survey, asking for your views on the government’s proposed voluntary assisted dying legislation. This is a matter beyond politics, and I have always committed to seeking feedback from the electorate on this emotive subject before deciding whether or not to support it. Please take the time to complete it. It will also be available on my website in coming days. State Budget This week in Parliament, the State Government will hand down the Budget, and I have asked the Minister for Transport and Main Roads for assurances that road infrastructure funding for our region is not overlooked. Locals are only too familiar with the safety issues on Eumundi Noosa Road, also identified in the planning study we secured in 2019, so I want to see funds allocated to progress these longoverdue upgrades in this next Budget. Vegetation management works Vegetation clearing works have started this week near the pedestrian overpass at the Eumundi Train Station. This scheduled maintenance work is being done by TMR to improve visibility for road users, and will also be done at Seib Road bridge and the Huon Mundy Bridge. It’s expected to be completed by the end of the month.

Ben said, “Thanks to everyone who came out and supported this event. We are truly blessed to live in such a giving and supportive local community. Thanks also to Jodie, Sophie and Felicity at Joe’s Waterhole for the venue and a Karma Barrel that raised close to $500—thanks to thirsty patrons.” To support this charity see www.dvsafephone.org. 22

Members of B Active Personal Training and Group Fitness are completing the Push Up Challenge this month in support of mental health. Team leader Brooke Conlan says, “We’re completing 3,318 push-ups in 25 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health.” Just over one week in and they are already at 918 push ups. This team is definitely going to push it right to the end. If you wish to support the B Active crew, donations can be made to the registered charity The Push for Better Foundation at www.thepushupchallenge. com.au/team/6902-b-active-crew.

Did U Know Wildlife Exhibition A raffle organised during the Did U Know Wildlife Exhibition held at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre has awarded seven prizes made up of contributions from the exhibiting artists.

Noosa Chorale Choir and orchestra Scribbly Gum at Doonan Creek Environment Reserve

Environment reserves expand Doonan Creek Environment Reserve in Peregian Springs is now the largest in Sunshine Coast Council’s conservation estate following the acquisition of an additional 94 hectare property. Environment and Liveability Portfolio Councillor, Maria Suarez says that two kilometres of Doonan Creek will now be protected through the Doonan Creek Environment Reserve Management Plan. “The addition of this land parcel will continue to protect our critically endangered rainforest and wetland, and our locally important wallum vegetation communities.” The purchase complements other nearby land acquisitions by Council under the Blue Heart Project in Maroochy wetlands, increasing the biodiversity corridor for natural habitat and providing more connected green spaces for the community. SCC Mayor Mark Jamieson explained that extending landholdings enables council to rehabilitate habitat through land restoration. “These new properties will consolidate and expand the surrounding public lands and provide a connected habitat corridor for our native plants and animals to thrive.”

Spirit of Olympia Sell-out crowds attended the recent memorable Noosa Chorale’s Spirit of Olympia. The specially arranged program featured music from the Olympic Games from 1896 to 2010. The performances, led by Conductor Adrian King, received standing ovations. Narrator Frank Wilkie and special guest Ambassador Dawn Fraser as well as a number of Eumundi district singers were part of the event. The Noosa Chorale originally planned the event to coincide with the 2020 Olympics, but Covid19 forced the organisers to postpone. The wait was worth it, with an additional treat provided by simultaneous screening of highlights from past games on overhead screens.

Yandina Historic House

Natural Habitats at The J

Artist Sharon McCarthy has embraced the coast lifestyle. Art Curator Col Nation says, “Sharon brings the Sunshine Coast’s many beachside activities to life in the exciting and colourful exhibition that will be on display all through June as the Artist of the Month at the Yandina Historic House.”

Noosa Hinterland artist Wendy Catlin is exhibiting a series of works titled Natural Habitats, an Environmental Art Statement, at The J in Noosa Junction throughout June and July. Wendy says she treasures our natural environment and felt compelled to make a statement through her art about seven delicate habitats, resulting in this exhibition. The paintings and notes beside each work are a reminder of how much each system means, the vulnerability of each natural habitat and the interdependence of each one to the others.

Enjoy Devonshire tea and relax among the artworks and historical displays at the House at 3 Pioneer Rd Yandina next to the Ginger Factory. Open Monday to Saturday 9.30am-2.30pm. See www.yandinahistorichouse.com.au.

Heritage

The original School of Arts

The School of Arts Hall She’s been in town since 1912 and finally after a hectic life of dances, cake stalls, romances, movies, skating and more, in 2000 the Eumundi School of Arts was listed as a state heritage building. The first hall was opened in 1908, three years after Reserve Land Allotment 5, Section 2, of 1 rood and 24 perches was set aside for the building. The hall was rapidly found to be too small and demolished to make way for a larger version. The local timber mill, owned by the Etheridge family donated most of the timber used in construction for the larger replacement. On Friday 15 November 1912 a gala opening took place, with most residents attending. The library was also opened that day, with Miss Trundle as the librarian. A street procession along Memorial Dr preceded the grand opening. Festivities lasted two days, with stalls of every variety: plain sewing, bachelor’s stall, cake stall, sweets, Christmas tree, shooting gallery, produce stall and a refreshment stall. From that time the hall has been a testament to the social life of Eumundi and its District, hosting concerts, dances, skating, bowls, moving pictures, Queen’s Competitions, meetings and many other community activities. During World War I the hall was used by the Red Cross and the Comforts Fund Committee, but it was not until 1926 when they held a Queen’s Competition that their debt from this was cleared. In this competition they showcased the main industries of the district of timber, dairy and fruit growing. During World War II, the hall 26

Today’s School of Arts was used extensively for fund raising and staging patriotic functions for the general entertainment of the troops camped in the district. Throughout the years, the Eumundi School of Arts has reflected the main industries of the district, showcasing timber, dairy farming, fruit growing, household skills, and crafts. Weddings, galas, community occasions, and those of remembrance have been held in the hall at the heart of the town. A white ant infestation in 1968 meant that the building had to be remodelled and lowered to its current single storey. The Eumundi and District Historical Association (EHA) became a Trustee in 1988 for the hall and is responsible for its maintenance, development and use for the community. Renovations have included a remodelled kitchen and installation of air conditioning. Recently EHA has refurbished the hall—ensuring its legacy as a cultural and social mainstay for the township and district.

Local profile

and Nigerian Dwarf, have been imported into Australia. Many mini breeders have added these to their goats’ genetics to produce the perfect ‘goaty’ pet. Mini goats are fabulous pets for many families, but they do require specialist care to keep them happy and healthy. Good fences are a must to keep goats in and dogs out. Loose goats tend to cause havoc with neighbours and on the roads. Dogs, both wild and domestic, can be dangerous to goats. Even familiar pet dogs should be supervised near goats.

Marie Robins with one of her pets

The perfect pet? Forty years ago Noosa was a very different place. You may have encountered Carolyn walking her first goat Liquorice along Noosa’s Main Beach. Liquorice was a little black bundle when she was brought as a pet from Western Qld. Thirty years passed before Carolyn’s mother, Marie Robins, thought about goats again. She said that she wouldn’t mind a couple of goats for her empty paddock. On Christmas morning Sky and Bluebell appeared, horns decorated in tinsel. Since then, goats have scampered, butted, run for food, bleated and had many kids. So many indeed that they populate Marie’s small acreage outside Eumundi and Carolyn’s farm at Belli Park. The plan is for each generation to be better than the last, with carefully selected new stock occasionally added to the stud. Australian Miniature Goats are a small breed of goat developed over the last 30 or so years. More recently, the other mini breeds Pygmy

Goats need dry shelter as they hate to get wet. You must have more than one goat as they are herd animals and do not do well alone. They tend to be browsers rather than grazers, and love to munch on trees and shrubs. Some ornamental plants such as azaleas and lilies are poisonous to them. The cost of a mini ranges from a few hundred dollars to thousands. Wethers (desexed male goats) tend to be cheaper than does (female goats) and both make great pets. Bucks (intact males) are not so good as they emit a foul smell and like to urinate on themselves during the breeding season. They are called ‘stinkers’ for a good reason. If you think miniature goats may suit you, it is best to talk to breeders and visit studs before committing to the 15 plus years of a goat’s lifetime. Goats are not for everyone, but to many they are the perfect pet.

Rabbitohs and Warriors face-off

Club racing members Daryl & Lynn Shaw

Noosa Beach boys go racing It was a beautiful, sunny winter morning on 5 June, crisp and clear, as cars started rolling into the arena of Lakeside Park, 30 kms north of Brisbane, ready for a day of serious racing action. Lakeside Park can strike fear into the heart of the bravest as it is always a white-knuckle experience. Built in 1961 and formerly known as Lakeside International Raceway, it is one of Australia’s most famous and classic circuits. Seventeen Motorsport Warriors from Noosa Beach Classic Car Club (NBCCC) took up the challenge, joining our neighbouring clubs Sunshine Coast Motor Sport Club and MX-5 Club of Qld. All were willing, ready and able to shred tyres, burn fuel and drive like Formula 1 heroes around the Lakeside track—and they did. Additional club members arrived throughout the day to soak up the sun and cheer the cars home. NBCCC is a multi-faceted community group offering a wide range of activities.
