Behind the bar at Joe’s for 39 years

Sophie with ‘family’ from Joe’s: Jodie and Tracey (left), Felicity and Candi (right) with today’s publican Brett behind the bar Forty years ago a young couple Sophie and Dennis arrived in Eumundi from Ballarat.

Soon after, Sophie started working for Ray Whiting the fabled “free beer tomorrow” publican at Joe’s Waterhole hotel. In 2005 Ray sold the hotel to Brett Lewis who has maintained the Joe’s character, and Sophie continued to work there until she retired a fortnight ago. Brett said, “It’s sad to see Sophie leave as she has been a great asset to Joe’s.”

In 1986 Sophie and Dennis married at Joe’s. The couple followed up the nuptials by a renewal of their vows on their 10th and 20th anniversaries, all officiated by the original celebrant.

“I have loved my time working at Joe’s Waterhole,” Sophie said. “Brett, Felicity, staff and awesome locals have made my time at Joe’s unforgettable.

They are truly like family to me. I have served three generations of quite a number of families and at times been part of the ‘family’ Cont. p3

Cont from. p1 support for very dear customers in troubled times, and in good times, sharing joy with them.”

Sophie’s time at the hotel has been noted for her love of a themed dress-up party, with many special events being celebrated in appropriate style by regular patrons and special visitors.

Sophie says the time has come for her to relax and enjoy a different chapter of her life. The possibility of caravan travel is something Sophie is looking forward to when the time is right.

Sophie’s retirement party has been postponed due to the latest Covid19 lockdown but a new date will be set shortly to celebrate her amazing 39 years behind the bar, surely a record for length of service in the one business in Eumundi. In Sophie’s words, “Cheers everyone, catch you on the other side of the bar.”

Update your pet’s registration details It is a good time to check if your animal registrations are up to date. If you have moved to a new house, there has been a change of ownership, you need a replacement tag, your pet has been desexed or microchipped, or has sadly passed away it is important to ensure council has the correct details before registration renewals are sent out. Update or cancel your pet’s registration details at SCC or Noosa council websites.

Horses’ birthday In the southern hemisphere the horses’ birthday is celebrated by nearly all breeds 1 August. But in the northern hemisphere the official birthday is 1 January. The date allows standardisation in horse events, like racing. The first of August is linked to September when weather is beginning to warm up, prompting mares to come into season.

Swooping season Breeding season has begun for magpies, a protected native animal. Swooping is part of a magpie’s defence of territory and chicks, starting once the eggs are hatched and ending usually around six to eight weeks later when the chicks have left the nest.

SCC asks residents to remain tolerant when walking or riding near magpie nests from where about 10% of breeding males are likely to swoop. Advice is to move quickly through the area but not to run, to wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses or use an umbrella. Bike riders are encouraged to dismount and walk bikes through the area and, where possible, walk in groups—or avoid the area altogether.

Phil and Dan of Keystones Energy Solutions

Community based energy initiatives The Australian Volunteer Coastguard Association’s distinctive yellow vessels respond to a variety of marine incident types, rescuing thousands of people each year. They also support other agencies in response to events such as marine fire and medical evacuation from vessels.

Back-up battery power for essential service providers and community-based organisations is critical for energy security. So, Dan Walters from Eumundi’s Keystones Energy Solutions (www.keystonesenergy.com.au) met with Ian Hunt and Robert Bohn of the Mooloolaba flotilla to donate and install a 10kW battery to back-up the 24/7 communication system which is critical to their operation.

Alan Templeton Park SCC staff are making good progress at the Alan Templeton Park located near Black Stump Rd. Who was the park named after? The SCC website page Backward Glance says, “Another good neighbour was Alan Templeton of Eumundi, who became one of the leading ginger growers of the district. It was Alan who put the green into Eumundi by planting shrubs and gardens down Eumundi’s Memorial Ave and along the road approaching the town. Hard working and unassuming, the voluntary work of Alan Templeton can still be seen in Eumundi to this day.”

CWA annual meeting

The chill was still in the morning air last week at The J as local band The Sandflys held down a chord and started their lively outdoor gig in front of Noosa 101.3FM Community Radio’s Open Day. The station started in 1985 and is still going strong.

Cr David Law, Division President Patsy Lee, Incoming President Janet Millington, Vice President Glenda Marks, International Robyn Bryan, Vice President Helen Mason, Treasurer Cheryl Hartshorn, Secretary Irene Ives Eumundi CWA held their annual meeting on 27 July at the historic CWA Hall in Memorial Dr. They proudly announced they had reached their goals for the year, stayed within budget, maintained membership numbers and increased their support for special programs in local schools.

Noosa Beach Classic Car Club is a community group sponsor of the station and was invited to enhance the Open Day celebrations by showcasing three Classic cars. Melony—Drag Queen and entertainer—blasted out her vocal chords to entertain the crowd and made a bee-line for the Classics, draping her exquisite torso over the bonnet of Phil Atkins’ buttercup yellow 1948 MG TC. Passing cars slowed down and tooted horns in appreciation as good music filled the air. Lyn McLeod parked little ‘Lily’ her cute 1968 Mini Deluxe alongside Mike and Barbara Morris’s 1965 Ford Thunderbird.

Outgoing President, Helen Mason, thanked local associations for their support and reported the group was ready for another successful year. All official positions were filled, with some new faces stepping up this year. The branch has increased the number of unofficial positions to engage more members and provide greater diversity of activities offered. Incoming President Janet Millington said, “The past committee has put us in a very good position going forward. We are ready to increase hall usage, offer a wider variety of crafts and address more social issues while having fun.”

Chrissie in July ‘Tis is the season for Christmas in July and the Rotary Club of Eumundi held a pre-Covid lockdown dinner at the CWA Hall 29 July. Masks made it tricky, but members managed to have a good time in the hall decked out with tinsel and bells. Hosts Tex and Robin Pipke provided the treats we enjoy in the cooler months of ham and Christmas cake. Toastmaster Coral McVain provided a little history of why we celebrate out-of-season down here in the southern hemisphere. The club’s changeover dinner to farewell President Olivia Dolan and welcome incoming President Tex Pipke has been delayed, as Tex said “Well it seems we have once more been Covided”.

On behalf of Eumundi Police I would like to thank the community for doing the right thing during lockdown. This lockdown has a different feel to it from previously and I thank you all for your understanding when police are called to help within the community. Our duties during July have increased with Covid19 related tasks and we always appreciate the understanding from the community when we attend. Unfortunately lockdown doesn’t stop criminals breaking into houses or vehicles. Please lock up your homes and vehicles.

Throughout July, Eumundi Police attended 33 calls for police assistance or emergencies. Some of the reported offences included a burglary, a break and enter on Crescent Rd and Rangeview St along with 1 each at Doonan, Eerwah Vale and Verrierdale. There were 6 reported stealing offences that didn’t involve breaks and 1 stolen car. Police located 2 stolen cars dumped in Eumundi area and 2 investigations related to wilful damage of property.

month I was asked why I didn’t include call and arrest statistics for Eumundi area in Eumundi Voice. In response I will include them this month. In July, Eumundi police responded to 15 incidents resulting in 4 arrests, 4 police protection notices, 2 unsubstantiated domestics and 5 community referrals for assistance. On arrival for one incident Eumundi police were confronted with an armed person threatening police with a golf club. We are always here to help at any time.

Throughout July, the Road Policing unit based out of Coolum issued a total of 37 speeding and hoon-related offences within our area. Our station caught 2 high range drink drivers who recorded readings of .178% and .156%. Thanks again to all in our community doing the right thing during lockdown.

First sip: the Aussie beer story

We drink a lot of beer. In the 2018 financial year, Australians consumed—per capita—64.4 litres of full-strength beer, and 18.7 litres of midstrength beer.

Fifty years ago movies established the role of beer in mateship and Aussie culture through drama in Wake in Fright (1971) and comedy The Adventures of Bazza McKenzie (1972) which put Fosters on the big screen. Today the book of Australian Bush Pubs is a must-do guide for grey nomads seeking the next watering hole.

Australia’s songsters have celebrated the foamy brew. Slim Dusty has a whole album of beer drinking songs including Duncan and He’s a Good Bloke When He’s Sober. Slim’s A Pub with No Beer has nearly a million YouTube views (https:// youtu.be/7bIJV8gaBK4).

So how did this Aussie love of beer start? It got off to a tricky start. The Federation Act (1901) severely regulated Australian breweries and made home-brew illegal. Of Sydney’s 20 breweries, 16 closed. The rest combined becoming Tooths and Toohey’s. In Melbourne five merged forming Carlton United, and in Queensland Castlemaine Perkins emerged.

The Fosters Group controlled many breweries but today most are owned by Japan’s Asahi and Kirin companies. Japanese-owned Lion Nathan acquired Castlemaine Perkins which brewed XXXX in 1992 and has since trademarked the Castlemaine name. The largest Australian-owned brewery is family-owned Cooper’s Brewery.

Captain Cook brought beer to Australia, as water onboard was undrinkable. Convicts and settlers preferred rum. John Boston brewed the first local beer from Indian corn and Cape gooseberries.

Freed convict James Larra opened our first pub, Mason’s Arms in Parramatta in 1796 which was one of the first 10 hotels licensed in Australia

by Governor Phillip. Renamed the Woolpack in 1821, now over 200 years later it is the only one of those original licences still good for a beer.

The Woolpack Hotel 1821

British style ales were not suited in our climate before refrigeration.

Aussies still mock the ‘Poms’ and their warm beer. See www. woolpackhotel. com.au/history.

First Fleet convict James Squire, stole ‘medicinal supplies’ from the hospital stores, claiming the horehound, whose taste resembles hops, was for his pregnant girlfriend. Actually, he was brewing beer for the British officers. Facing execution, he accepted 300 lashes. A free man in 1795 and given a 30-acre land grant he extended it to 1000 acres by 1806. Governor Phillip King endorsed his beer brewing venture, transporting hops and equipment on convict ships at government expense. James’ success saw the 1806 opening of his Malting Shovel Tavern on Parramatta River at Kissing Point serving lagers made using hops. James now upheld the law as district Governor’s Guard, father of 11 children between wife and mistress, was unofficial banker and philanthropist and Australia’s first official brewer.

Cascade Brewery 1824

Tasmania’s Cascade Brewery opened in 1824, followed by numerous localised breweries.

Brewing rapidly expanded in all colonies. In 1871 Victoria alone had 126 breweries; its

population just 800,000.

Early closing—introduced as an austerity and morality measure during WW1—saw the ‘six o’clock swill’ remain for many decades.

Temperance groups blamed immoral behaviour for the War. Pubs experienced a mad rush when businesses closed at 5pm and homegoing thirsty workers tried to consume as much beer as possible before pubs shut at 6pm. Tasmania extended opening hours to 10pm in 1937.

Queensland followed in 1941, NSW in 1955, Victoria hung on until 1966 and South Australia to 1967.

In 1986 Eumundi’s brewing began in the historic Imperial Hotel producing premium beers, Eumundi Lager being the most popular. Its immediate success saw the Eumundi Brewing Group Ltd go public on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1989.

The return of a brewery at The Imperial Hotel in 2017 has proved a welcome local success, with other boutique breweries flourishing in our area.

New-age beers sport fruit flavours, catchy names (Ginger Kegs?) and focus on taste, sustainability, full-strength to low-cal—with zero or lowalcohol beer a fashionable boon for the oneswho-drive-home amongst us.

Eumundi Ultimate Frisbee Club Every Monday and Wednesday afternoon as the normal people of Eumundi and district are winding down after a long day, a bunch of washed-up wanna-be quasi gentlemen, gathers on the hallowed turf of the Eumundi Showgrounds, desperately clinging to the imagined glories of their sporting youth. These greying, lumpy and bumpy athletic types meet off against each other in mortal combat in that most regal of conquests – the pursuit of a spinning disc in Ultimate Frisbee. As well, the club’s goal is to support men’s health and improve social connections.

With its roots in the 1950s in the US, the fast and furious game of Frisbee quickly spread across the globe. Two teams face off on a football field, with rules similar to a mad mix of netball and soccer, and with elements of grid iron and Aussie Rules thrown in. It is fun, fast and friendly—with participants often covering many kilometres in the hour-long game.

When the games first started it was a chance for some old has-beens and never-gunna-be’s to get out and try to be fit. But it has developed into so much more than that. It is a chance for a group of blokes to meet up and connect, support one another, have a laugh and enjoy each other’s company. And as muscles are aching and bones creaking, the game always ends with a couple of cold ones and much cheeky banter.

The game is very much open to all comers (aged 15 and above) and has been a fantastic way for recent returners and those new to the community to meet some new friends, and to re-connect with some old ones, all the while improving physical and mental fitness.

The month of November also sees the group involved in ‘Movember’ where these finelytuned specimens grow a moustache to raise funds for the treatment of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and support for mental health and suicide prevention.

You can join us on a Monday or Wednesday afternoon at 4.30pm at the Eumundi Showgrounds. And at only a couple of bucks a game, you blokes can’t afford not to!

Photo competition

Local Janie Ferguson captured this issue’s winning entry featuring the Noosa River, near the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, on her Samsung S20 smartphone. Well done and congratulations Janie.

The judge commented that the photograph “is well balanced, which can be hard to achieve in a panoramic composition. It also illustrates how the composition can tell a story. This image would not be out of place in a journalistic setting given the current debates around the Noosa River and its uses.”

Covid funny? While lockdowns are not funny, and neither is Covid, sometimes there is humour in adversity, so send in your photos of something funny… when “Let’s cook a cake” ends in disaster, or trying to work when the kids are bored, or your failed effort at your first Zoom meeting. Submit your photo to hello@EumundiVoice.com.au for Issue 27 by 19 August. The winner will receive a book voucher sponsored by Berkelouw Books Eumundi and Templeton Ginger.

Up until now we’ve been relatively unscathed by direct restrictions, though like many of us, I have been impacted financially supporting family members who have been unable to work. This week… oh Gosh! Our day to day lives have changed. The REIQ (Real Estate Institute of Queensland) released its directive that due to the current COVID restrictions, real estate agents cannot physically appraise a property or have photographs taken, but may show a buyer through a property currently for sale, on a one-to-one basis. So, what are the options for Sellers for whom achieving an immediate sale is crucial, while there are so many active buyers? Facetime viewings, open home-lives; video appraisals… there is always a way.

This week, we walked 5 acres on WhatsApp video with a buyer who has gone to Contract. If you’re thinking of selling, and not sure how to in this market, please feel free to contact us, to see how we can help you.

Ms Bolton commented, “Seeing the joy in the kids’ faces as they explained to me how they have designed the garden to capture the morning sun was pure magic. This really is what these grants are all about, planting little seeds of change which yield positive, healthy futures for our children and grandchildren. Their knowledge of swales and medicinal benefits of plants was incredible. I can’t wait to come back to enjoy a ‘garden to plate’ session, and even try some of those healing plants,” said Ms Bolton.

Walk My Way A group of Yr 9 students from Good Shepherd Lutheran College wanted to make a difference for students in Kenya. So during the Term 2 focus of service they chose to support the Australian Lutheran World Service which, says teacher Mr Matt George, “reaches out to those hurt by poverty, injustice and crisis.” Raising money through sponsorship, each $26 allowed a Kenyan refugee child to get an education, text books and tables. Thirty students walked 26km—including the climb to the top of Noosa National Park—and raised a total of $3500.

Hidden Umbria

Dreaming of Italy We cannot go yet...and it seems so far away, but we can dream!

Isabella Dusi has returned to Noosa after living for 24 years in Italy. She studied art history while living in a grand old stone palazzo in Florence and travelled the length and breadth of the country learning about the art, sculpture, architecture and archaeology.

Isabella has launched a Meetup Group, every second Thursday, which brings together people for Italian language conversation over coffee mornings. Anyone can come to practise Italian, at no cost at 10.30 am at Fine Espresso & Spa, 239 Gympie Tce Noosaville.

Italy Dreaming has a goal of keeping us all connected to our dreams,” says Isabella, “and offers a way to keep us motivated and to keep our brains ticking over. No matter our age we need to be learning, absorbing and doing, even if we aren’t going anywhere for a while yet.”

When she lived in Noosa in the 1980s, Isabella

worked as an interior designer and writer—all before the foundations of Sheraton Noosa (now Sofitel) and Hastings St were dreamed about.

“Like many of us, I watched shacks and weatherboard guest houses crumble into dust under bulldozers Isabella Dusi in Hastings St and then developers got busy along the Noosa River. I loved to see long-haired, barefoot and tanned surfers carrying surf boards to rickety shacks, towels and board shorts flapping from balconies and boards stacked against the walls, in no real danger of going missing. I did receive a pleasant shock to discover how—what were in the 1980s—small places like Cooroy and Eumundi have moved forward into bustling communities while I was living abroad.”

because it was very hot with a live flame.

The torch passed close to Eumundi as it travelled from Nambour to Tewantin on its way to the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Thanks for the memories and let us make sure the route passes through Eumundi again in 2032 on its way to the host city of Brisbane with men and women carrying the torch.

Fred Clark holding the torch. Fred was a mechanic who owned and operated the cinema at the School of Arts hall at the time The Olympic torch passed through Eumundi on its way to the host city of Melbourne on 15 November 1956. The torch was set alight on Greece’s Mount Olympus before heading to Athens. It was then flown to Istanbul, Basra, Karachi, Calcutta, Bangkok, Singapore, Jakarta, and Darwin before it landed in Cairns from where it was carried on foot all the way down to Melbourne. Much of the route in Queensland was gravel and dirt roads at the time.

The torch was passed from one runner to another, each carrying the torch for one mile (1.61 km).

Only men were allowed to carry the torch and they had to be able to cover the distance in less than seven minutes. The torch had to be carried away from the body, both out of respect but also

You instantly feel relaxed and at ease, you then sit down together for a consultation and talk about your hair goals and how we will achieve them. You walk out feeling amazing on both the outside and the inside.

Nan was strict, “We’ve lived here; we’ve worked here; we know people here and you’d better not run our name through the mud.” Lyndon remembers the upside too, walking through the town and everyone would greet her because she was a nice, sweet person. It was contagious. “She helped me do what I do now,” he says.

Her friend Pop was a substitute grandfather and the family spent lots of happy days at the beach, the river and out bush, really connected.

Education Lyndon went to Burnside Primary School, then got a ‘family’ scholarship to St Peters in Indooroopilly. Lyndon’s sisters were brilliant softballers and netballers, and he reckons he was part of a ‘package deal’.

The challenge of homelessness SCC is joining outreach providers to shine a light on the challenges faced by vulnerable community members and provide support information across the region.

An outreach program run by Sunshine Coast Housing and Homelessness Network and supported by SCC will deliver a range of services, support and information highlighting the help that is available to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.

Nambour Community Centre Coordinator and Social Worker Angela Rondo said the community centre had become an essential support service

“We welcome the community to connect and access facilities such as showers, washing machine, tea, coffee and food,” Ms Rondo said.

“Ending homelessness requires a whole-ofcommunity response. The face of homelessness is dominated by women, children and our ageing population.”

Mayor Mark Jamieson commented that “Council worked closely with the Australian Bureau of Statistics team in the lead up to Census night on 10 August to identify known rough-sleeping locations in council-managed spaces.”

Anyone experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, including experiencing domestic and family violence can call Homelessness Hotline 1800 474 753 or DVConnect: 1800 811 811.
