First home buyers are looking towards the hinterland - Sirah Robb First home buyers are moving away from the beach and into the hinterland as they focus on long term investments and building equity. The financial help available from grants, guarantors and gifts means there has never been a better time for owners to sell to first home buyers who are purchasing from entry level to million-dollar plus properties.

Cont. from p1 Key position holders within the club are Grace (President), Lilybelle (Vice President), Charli-Mae, Morgan and Kobi (CoSecretaries), Aliza and Lasharla (Co-Treasurers). President Grace said, “I was elected by my fellow members to represent the club and the school as president. One of our first fundraising events was to hold a gold coin handball tournament to encourage awareness of our club and to improve the use of the school’s handball courts.” The club aligns itself closely with the ideals and objectives of the Eumundi Rotary Club, and membership is a precursor to joining an InterAct club in secondary school, such as the one at Noosa District High School, Cooroy. School Principal Mr Mick Connors congratulated the students who have banded together to form the club, “It is a very exciting development for the school and is a big step forward in connecting with our communities providing service for those in need. I look forward to the students identifying activities and managing their ideas within the group.”

New in town

Coolican and Co Wondering who will move into the site opposite Sala Thai, vacated by A Taste of India over a year ago? Well, wonder no more because the new occupants are busy transforming the place, ready for opening in a few weeks. Jack and Jess are Sunshine Coast locals who have returned from 10 years in Melbourne to set up shop in Eumundi. Jess, an interior decorator, will soon open her section called Coolican and Co. Jack is currently working as a chef at Sails restaurant in Noosa and will introduce his vision of weekend buffet-style eating, catering for groups up to 30 people. He is currently working on a name for the restaurant section. They are both thrilled to become part of the Eumundi business community—and locals are delighted to welcome them.

Fabulous 50s Plus Fabulous 50s social group was established 15 years ago for solo-business people to enjoy a weekly dining/social experience in like-minded company. The group has evolved to Fabulous 50s Plus because we are mostly retirees now, with couples as well as singles. A monthly program is sent out by email and includes two very popular coffee mornings a week in beautiful locations along the Noosa River. We also have one lunch and one dinner each month in a different restaurant. Next month’s lunch will be a Christmas in July onboard the Noosa Cruiser on the Noosa River.

Writing competition

One early, sunny morning, I lazily stumbled out of my warm, snug bed to say hello to the new, bright and happy day ahead. The sun was dazzling in my hazel eyes as mum drove my sister and I to school. When we arrived, I noticed something strangely different. All the nets surrounding the new building were gone. A surge of bubbling excitement grew up inside me. Was it really open? I walked admiringly past the crisp, white walls, up the clean, concrete stairs and stood gazing at the impressive view. The spacious, freshly painted classrooms were waiting, welcoming us.

Our old tuckshop and eating area with its beautiful painting of our precious school destroyed, by a rampaging wrecking ball and a vicious bulldozer, like a tall, serene tree being knocked down. Yet there was still hope for this empty patch of soil, for like a tree dropping its seed and a thriving, new tree growing, soon grew a beautiful, new building. I hopped out of the car on the first morning of the 2020 school year and a maybe not so pleasant sound of cranes and diggers filled my ears. Days, weeks, then months went by, the site was full of framing and a messy mix of wood, bricks and builders. As the builders worked, a glimpse of what the grand new building would be like began to appear. Up it rose like a little seedling growing into a colossal, evergreen tree.

Working from home

I first met Janelle Spies in 2016 in my role as her mentor for the Business Mentoring Noosa group. At that time, she was successfully running My Little Joy, an online business she started in 2015, and was, ironically at the mercy of her own success. Running her sewing business from Eumundi, managing a household, assisting her builder husband, caring for two toddlers, Janelle was simply swamped with work. “The business just took off so fast”, she said. Janelle found she was sewing and completing orders late into the night and quickly realised that she needed help and better systems. Janelle originally produced hand-made affordable children’s clothing which she sold at markets. She enjoyed the challenge of turning

her creativity and design flair into items for her family and others. Her Eureka Moment came when a friend saw a beautiful floor cushion she had made for her new baby and asked for one for herself. This developed into requests for similar items from other friends and My Little Joy was born. Janelle produces exquisite handstitched bespoke cushions and other nursery items which she ships all over the world. I caught up with her recently to find out how she was doing. Well, thriving is the only way I can describe her. Janelle has since had two more children under two and, despite mailing restrictions due to Covid19, the business is as successful as ever. The main lesson that Janelle has learnt over the years is that she can’t do it all herself and she has learnt to trust and delegate. She now has help with the finishing and despatch of items and also outsources some sewing locally. This has allowed her to work on the business and develop new product lines. Though lacking an office and a warehouse, working from home in Cooroy has allowed Janelle to make a good income whilst raising four children and supporting her husband’s business. She admits that being surrounded by her creations makes it hard to switch off. As a very social person, she says she sometimes misses working in a team, but now regularly connects and collaborates with other small business owners. Janelle has learnt a lot about herself. First and foremost, she has learnt her own value, that she can do it, and achieve whatever she wants. She truly is an inspirational lady. See www.mylittlejoy.com.au. Paula Martin, Doonan

I--and a fellow volunteer delivering Eumundi Voice in Doonan every fortnight--have been having a great deal of trouble with dogs running out at us and our kids whilst delivering magazines to letter boxes. My son is now no longer able to assist me on the delivery as he has been too frightened by these incidents. We hope council will address this situation as it is extremely dangerous and frightening. In the meantime, some of our keen readers may not receive their favourite fortnightly magazine due to the nature of animals running out at us on public footpaths and roads attacking our own dogs as we walk them which we now can no longer do either. Please may I make a plea that pet owners be more responsible and secure their animals to their property.

May 2021 was officially the busiest month for Eumundi Police since I arrived in this beautiful area two and a half years ago. Blair, Gary, Warwick and I arrested 23 offenders on a total of 47 offences. These included a Eumundi police division drug operation where nine offenders were arrested on 21 offences over a two-day period with many kms tracked through scrub. These arrests included possession of cocaine, methyl amphetamines, GHB (fantasy) and cannabis. As a result of one search warrant executed on a property in Memorial Drive Eumundi, a male person evaded police dangerously. He was eventually caught and arrested after ramming a police vehicle near Rainbow Beach. The lads at the police station put in long hours to protect the community and some rewarding results followed as part of that operation. Other offences within the community included an assault at North Arm, a burglary on Eumundi Range Rd, where around $4K worth of electronics were stolen, and four reported stealing offences that are under investigation amongst other matters. We currently have a total of 53 ongoing investigations. It was disappointing that five drink drivers were charged during May, with the lowest reading being .082% and the highest .162%. The road policing unit based out of Coolum who patrol the Eumundi area for speeding offences, issued 71 tickets for speeding and hoon related offences during May. Remember, if you have any

traffic and speeding concerns, submit an online public traffic complaint via the QPS website. Our road policing unit are out and about to prevent major traffic crashes. Police attended five traffic crashes in May with four resulting in injuries to drivers or passengers. Lately we have received reports of suspect vehicles driving up driveways and then taking off once they realise that someone is home. We have had reports of a white Commodore and a red sedan on numerous occasions. Please be careful and report any suspicious behaviour. Email me if I can help in any way. Next report, next month!

Quilting at Kenilworth

One of the earliest existing decorative works is the Tristan Quilt, made around 1360 in Sicily, located at the V&A Museum (London) and in Bargello palace (Florence). Quilting was used extensively in warfare. In Europe, it was introduced by Crusaders in the 12th century as an aketon or gambeson, a quilted garment worn under chainmail or metalplate armour, or by itself as protection from arrows and swords. Gambesons were usually constructed of linen or wool; stuffed with scrap cloth or horse hair. Even the war horses wore quilts.

Olive Hassall and Merle Murtagh Quilting is the stitching together of layers of padding and fabric. The craft is a rare skill, requiring patience, intense concentration and good eyesight and the recent display of quilts at the Kenilworth Quilt Show 5-6 June proved that today’s specialists have remarkable creativity. Kenilworth Quilt and Craft Circle’s founding member Merle Hurtagh said that the group was established 25 years ago and has 15 regular members, from as far away as Gympie. President Olive Hassall explained that the annual show had to be cancelled last year, but the extra year of preparation meant there were even more quilts, with both traditional and modern patterns on display. Olive emphasised the group’s social value: “to support and share ideas with conversation and a cuppa is as important to our members as is our patchwork and craft.” Quilts (doonas) using the patchwork technique to keep out the cold at bedtime are made by sewing ‘patches’ of fabric together to create blocks. Rather than throwing away fabric, even small pieces can be repurposed. All sorts of patterns are based on four basic techniques: pieced, appliquéd, paper pieced, and English paper pieced. 16

Men who were not knights wore arming doublets, probably because the garment suggested status and chivalry, and this remained an essential part of fashionable men’s clothing for 300 years until the early 1600s. Australia has its own historic quilt. The Rajah Quilt, housed in the National Gallery of Australia, was created by 30 convict women as they were transported from Woolwich, England to Hobart, Tasmania in 1841. The medallion quilt with Broderie perse at its centre was rediscovered in Scotland in 1989. The quilters at Kenilworth are keeping alive this tradition of a beautiful, practical craft. Next year’s show will be early June 2022. Ruth Hickey

Vietnamese mint Vietnamese mint is also known as Vietnamese coriander, Cambodian mint, Hot mint, and Laksa leaf. A creeping perennial growing to about 30cm, it is easy to grow in full sun or partial shade. Although the mint can die back in the cooler months, it usually returns strongly in warmer weather. The taste is a combination of fresh coriander and kaffir lime leaf, with a bit of heat, and can be used in cooking as a substitute for fresh coriander. Larger, older leaves can have a slightly bitter taste, so select younger leaves. A popular ingredient in Vietnamese and SouthEast Asian cuisine in rice, meat, poultry and curry dishes, Vietnamese mint is added during cooking or at the end and to great effect in rice paper rolls and salads. Traditional medicinal uses include treatments to reduce fever, improve acne, reduce nausea, aid digestion, improve hair and skin conditions, and as a diuretic and an overall health tonic.

is essential for physical and mental health wellbeing. The Institute’s research identified many key benefits. Community gardens are perceived by gardeners and visitors to promote numerous health benefits. They provide a safe place to nurture community cohesion and harmony. Gardens have been associated with increases in community health, and tangible financial benefits when nearby property values have risen. See www.preventioninstitute.org/.

Benefits of community gardens Eumundi Voice Issue 21 included plans for Eumundi’s Community Garden. What do community gardens give us?

ON THE BEACH

On the hot scorching Main Beach The noon sun is boiling and shiny I Can See The glittering sea swaying side to side On the bay I can see the surfers ride The kids happily running and playing tag The beach is so good I don’t need to brag I Can Feel The crispy sand crackling on my feet The crunchy crunch of the treats I eat The splashing waves crashing over my head The smooth blanket feels like I’m in bed I Can Hear The waves splashing in the glittering sea The buzzing of the black striped bees The squawking of the big white seagulls The barking of a black beagle I Can Smell The melting of pink topping ice creams My sister’s bad breath as she screams The sweet strong smell of my mum’s coffee The smell of green looking tasty toffee I Can Taste The beautiful chicken salt on my french fries The hot taste of my dad’s pie The glorious bites of the beautiful fish Eating the fish is my wish! While the Moon gets pulled down On my face I have a big frown Because the beach day is over! By Joshua Ison (Aged 9)

Heritage

Local walk: Buderim tramway For an easy stroll, the Buderim-Palmwoods Heritage Tramway Walk offers a pleasant, sunnyday family outing. The line began operating in 1914 to meet the need for effective and reliable transport to the main Qld Rail train line and access to the Brisbane markets. Existing roads were poor quality and transport relied on horses, wagons and bullocks; shipping on rivers was

unreliable for perishables. It closed in 1935 and the tracks removed. The walk is out-and-return for a total distance of just under 4 km. Start near the carpark at the corner of Telco Rd and Mons Rd Buderim. There are no toilets on the trail—the nearest is at Kunara. Afterwards drive down Mons Rd (5 mins) to the Kunara Café at 330 Mons Rd Forest Glen. The walk is dog friendly. See www.buderim. com/buderim-tramway-walk.

A Majestic 100 The wonderful Majestic Theatre in Pomona is 100 years old and going strong. Celebrations are planned. July 10 Double Silent Film rescreening of The Sheik and Son of the Sheik starring Rudolph Valentino, accompanied by Ron West playing the 1937 Compton Organ. Dress in your best Flapper outfits and partake of afternoon tea.

19 September Grand Finale, including the Arioso Chamber Orchestra Ensemble, and Ron West on the Compton Organ with two other Brisbane organists, the laying of two more stars on the pavement and afternoon tea. Bookings are essential: The Majestic Theatre, 3 Factory St Pomona QLD 4568. Email admin@ themajestictheatre.com.au. Phone (07) 5485 2330. A brief history of The Majestic Clara McDonald purchased the land in January 1921. She financed the hall building which was designed to show silent movies, and hold vaudeville productions. The town’s social centre, it hosted dances, balls, concerts, wedding functions, roller skating, church services, and even boxing.

West ran Travelling Film Festivals in the now longest continuously operating movie theatre in Australia. The couple were always adding the personal touch with blankets and portable heaters on cold nights. Causing an international stir in 1987, Ron showed his personal print of the 1926 silent film The Son of the Sheik, accompanying the film on a restored Wurlitzer pipe organ and making up the music as he went along. Silent films screened several nights a week and continued to draw tourists every Saturday at noon. In September 2006, under Pomona Arts Inc., SkillCentred Community Jobs Project, workers began an upgrade of the theatre. Keeping the original majestic appearance, upgrades were completed in 2007 with grants from Noosa Shire Council and the Federal Government. Eileen Walder

Environment

Whale research at Peregian The annual migration of humpback whales along the Qld coast is a huge drawcard for tourists, who are amazed at the size and beauty of these survivors. At a recent presentation by Assoc Prof Michael Noad, from the University of Qld, for the Noosa Branch of the Assn of Independent Retirees, the audience learned about the survival, song and science of these marine visitors. “The Sunshine Coast is one of the most important sites in the world for humpback whale research,” said Dr Noad, ‘because whales travel relatively close to our coastline.’ From a high point at Peregian Beach, researchers have identified the whales’ migration path. On the way north to the breeding grounds, whales tend to swim further out to sea, but travelling south with babies, they come closer inshore and so are easier to observe, track and

count. Population estimates suggest that the east Australian whale population has rebounded—after the depredation from whaling—to possibly pre-whaling levels. Further data from tagging (where a tag is held on by suction cups for 3-4 hours) provides information on diving, singing, rolling and fluking. Red heading north. Darts collect tiny skin/ Green heading south blubber samples, providing information on sex, age, hormone levels and pregnancy. Using underwater microphones or hydrophones, researchers identify the phrases and themes of each year’s songs. “Males’ songs are not so much a language, but a behaviour, a display or signal of attractiveness to females,” explained Dr Noad. It seems that males in an area will match each other and learn new themes each year: singing the same song. By comparing these tremendously varied, but highly structured songs from our eastern Australian whales to WA whales, with whales from across the South Pacific, scientists have found that songs have ‘travelled’ and are learned by different populations. Our eastern coast whales adopt new songs from the WA population which are, a year or two later, learned and sung by Pacific Ocean populations further east in New Caledonia, Tonga and French Polynesia. This is possibly due to mingling at the summer Antarctic feeding grounds or during migration and is evidence of cultural exchange. It was unknown how much the whale populations in the southern hemisphere mixed with each other, but says Dr Noad, “song copying is indicative of population mingling which is also shown by genetic studies.”

Taking a breath 26

It is rather a nice thought: our singing whales having their own Aussie Song Fest, which is eagerly adopted by Pacific Ocean singers.

Damage to footpath at Noosa Woods

Our Resilient Coast: Our Future Sunshine Coast Council recently endorsed the Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy which is a long-term strategy for preparing and protecting our coastal areas and communities from coastal hazards into the future. The strategy is called Our Resilient Coast: Our Future and has been developed in collaboration with the Sunshine Coast community and key industry groups over several years. Coastal hazards include erosion of our beaches and short or long-term seawater inundation of land along the coastline. Environment and Liveability Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez, pointed out the strategy seeks to ensure that the natural and built assets in our coastal zones are in good condition, designed appropriately, resilient to climate change impacts, and are being used sustainably. She also commended the community for their critical input to strategy development, which includes technical studies to plan actions to inform a proactive approach to the long-term management of our coast. Council invites anyone with a keen interest in our coast and its future, to consider getting involved. See https://bit.ly/3ha9eXZ for more information and to get involved.

History snapshot: Saints and Queens

Feast of St Rita

Poor Anne Boleyn

St. Rita of Cascia, Patron Saint of the Impossible was born near Cascia, Italy in 1381. She longed to be a nun but to please her parents married Paolo, a cruel man with a violent temper and many enemies. He verbally and physically abused her, was notorious for infidelities and family feuds and it was unsurprising when he was murdered. Rita publicly pardoned her husband’s murderers but suffered another tragedy afterwards with the death of her twin sons.

Could St. Rita’s intercession have helped Anne Boleyn who was executed on the orders of her husband King Henry VIII on 19 May 1536?

Rita’s first attempt to join the Augustinian Convent failed so she served her community as a peacemaker. Finally entering the convent at the age of 36 she followed the Rule of St. Augustine for the next 40 years. Immersing herself in prayer and charitable works while continuing to advocate for peace. Later in life, a deep wound appeared one day, as if a thorn had pierced her forehead. The wound never healed. Enduring constant pain, Rita offered up her suffering for others. St. Rita died on 22 May 1457 after receiving a rose from the garden in wintery January that she had seen in a vision. Her body lies incorrupt in Cascia’s St. Rita Shrine. The feast day of St. Rita is celebrated late in May. 28

Born in 1501 or 1507, Anne travelled abroad as a child to study in Margaret of Austria’s court. She became a member of Mary Tudor’s entourage, returning to England in the 1520s. A fluent French speaker and lover of the arts, Anne behaved like a Parisienne. Once Anne appeared at court, her sister Mary, Henry’s lover, was promptly ‘retired’ to the country. When the Pope refused to annul Henry’s marriage to Catherine for failing to deliver a male heir, the King ordered the Archbishop to declare him Supreme Head of the Church of England. Henry then severed connections with the Vatican for a hasty marriage to the six-month pregnant Anne who delivered the future Queen Elizabeth 1 but failed to follow up with a living male heir. Just three years after Henry married Anne—she found herself on trial. Though there was little evidence, the trumped-up allegations satisfied the King. She was beheaded on 19 May 1536 and within days Henry wed his pregnant third wife, Jane Seymour. Eileen Walder
