Eumundi State School captains and vice-captain conducted the service
Anzac Day traditions
Memorial services for Anzac Day in Eumundi and across the hinterland captured the essence of why we remember those who served and sacrificed their lives in the Great War and other conflicts, and why we uphold these traditions which venerate our fallen. This year the first service was conducted by Eumundi State School students at the Town Square on Friday 22 April. Anzac Day Monday 25 April saw Dawn Services at Verrierdale, Yandina, Kenilworth and the Cooroy War Memorial
Cenotaph. Hundreds gathered at the Eumundi amphitheatre after the traditional march. These services continued the traditions which have become an integral part of Anzac Day services. Sprigs of rosemary and its evergreen fragrance remind us of the wild rosemary that grows on the Gallipoli Peninsula. One Digger brought home a small bush from Anzac Cove and planted it in the grounds of the Army Hospital in South Australia with cuttings propagated ever since. Cont. p3

Cont. from p1 The Last Post is one of the most emotional parts of services as the haunting sound of a lone bugler has been adopted to acknowledge the service of people “who have gone to their final rest”. At Dawn Services the minute’s silence is broken by Reveille, the wakeup call of the day. Another key element of traditional Anzac Day memorials is the Ode of Remembrance. Less than two months after the declaration of WW1, English poet Laurence Binyon wrote For the Fallen and since 1921 one stanza – with the opening line “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old” – acknowledges the debt owed by each generation to our veterans. Many services were followed by Gunfire Breakfasts. These were not accompanied by the sound of artillery because “gunfire” refers to the rum-laced coffee or tea which was served with bacon and eggs as “liquid courage” to soldiers. During Covid Australians lined their driveways for Light up the Dawn tributes, which may yet become a tradition to honour veterans past and present.

Did you know?
Cadbury Brothers, also Quakers, introduced pure cocoa which made eggs taste better and easier to mould. By 1893 Cadbury had 19 different varieties and now totally dominates the Easter egg market, mainly from its Tasmanian factory. A new Aussie tradition began in 1991 with hopes to exterminate the ‘bunny’ as rabbits are considered a pest by many. A campaign to have the Easter bilby deliver the treats is slowly growing in popularity. Chocolate makers donate a portion of their proceeds to fund endangered animals, especially bilbies.
History of Easter eggs Australians spend around $2 million annually on Easter confectionery and this year while enjoying your Easter eggs you may have wondered about the origins of the Easter bunny. Eggs are a tradition in numerous cultures dating back long before Christianity. In 17th century Germany the Easter hare left decorated hardboiled eggs for well-behaved children. In the 1700s the egg-laying hare travelled to America with German Lutheran immigrants and became a cute ‘bunny’ who began leaving sweet treats for children in addition to eggs as part of holiday gifts. To show their thanks children put out carrots as snacks. Thankfully for people allergic to hen’s eggs, alternatives made of sugared candy or marzipan began appearing.
The most expensive Easter egg will cost you around US$4 million. Called the Rose Bud Egg it was created by Fabergé jeweller Michel Perchin in 1895. Tsar Nicholas II presented it to his wife Empress Alexandra. The egg opens, revealing a yellow rosebud containing a cabochon ruby pendant and a little golden crown encrusted with diamonds and rubies. Each Easter Nicholas gave his wife a Fabergé egg until revolutionaries captured and executed them and their children in 1918. In 2011 Italy created the world’s largest chocolate egg weighing 7.2kg. Miramar in Argentina produced one bigger but was disqualified for not paying a fee to the Guinness Book of Records.
French and German advances in manufacturing in the early 19th century saw chocolate become more than just a hot drink. Quaker J.S. Fry revealed the first solid chocolate egg in 1873. The

What’s on Mobiles, Oscar and ex-wives What is your mobile up to when you leave? Was Oscar Wilde anxious backstage? What should ex-wives expect? Three plays in Noosa Arts Theatre’s (NAT) annual One Act Playwriting Competition at the Weyba Rd Theatre 18-19 May will answer these questions. Beginning in 1979 to encourage new scripts for the fledgling Noosa theatre, the competition now attracts up to 80 entries from amateur and professional playwrights across Australia and internationally. They are attracted by prize money of $8,000 donated by Eleanor Nimmo. A judging panel reads the anonymous scripts, a shortlist is adjudicated by three professional theatrical identities, and three scripts are performed. Only the coordinator Julie Massie knows the winner, which is announced after the final performance with awards presented to Best Director and Best Male and Female Actors. Audiences vote for their favourite with the winning playwright receiving the Nancy Cato Award donated by her daughter Bron Norman. Nancy, one of Australia’s favourite authors, won the first competition with her Travellers through the Night and Bron is also a past winner. Our addiction to mobile phones and “our willingness to laugh at our foibles and fixations” inspired Kerry Fair’s entry Morning Tea. Shortlisted in a previous Noosa One Act Playwriting Competition, Kerry was also longlisted for the British Theatre Challenge. She participated in an exhausting International Playwriting Challenge which involved writing a short play every day for a month, only receiving the emailed topic each morning. Kerry’s work has been performed in NSW and Victoria. Finalist Robin Hawdon founded the UK’s Bath Fringe Festival and was theatre director at Theatre Royal Bath. He played leading parts on the London stage and made many TV and film 10
appearances. According to his memoir Almost Famous he nearly became James Bond. His writing includes productions at the Edinburgh, Kings Lynn and Salzburg festivals and plays produced in the West End, on Broadway and in over 40 countries and 20 languages. Robin lives between Sunshine Beach, the UK and France. In A Wilde Night we nervously wait backstage with Oscar at the première of The Importance of Being Earnest. Imagine exchanging life as a Melbourne doctor for a creative one. Rob Selzer did just that and his plays have been performed in London and across eastern Australia, collecting numerous national and international writing awards. He hosts a radio show on 3RRR and is currently working on his new novel Breaking Josh Glass. His entry Three Wives and a Funeral sees us wondering which ex-wife deserves an inheritance.

Teddy is a finalist in the 2022 Wearable Art Festival on 21 May at Venue 114 Bokarina. Featuring over 50 entries from Australia and overseas the competition extends design creativity with four award categories combining high fashion and sculptured art made from recyclable materials such as old tyres, police tape, tea bags, flowers, shopping bags and metals.
Teddy McRitchie’s winning design 2019 Mandurah WA
Wearable Art Festival Since winning his first competition at the Norfolk Island community festival at age 11 with a papier mâché Sea Monster, Teddy McRitchie has won international acclaim for his brilliant wearable art creations. Wearable art is individually-designed handmade clothing or jewellery created as expressive art which is not meant to be worn every day but draws attention when modelled or displayed. Teddy’s parents Brandt and Cristina live at Weyba Downs and are multi-talented entertainers who thoroughly support the creativity of Teddy and siblings Sienna and Jasper. Teddy loved designing and crafting after school and always had an eye on experimental fashion. In 2019 at age 15 he crowdfunded to afford the airfare to the Australian Wearable Art Championship in Mandurah where he won Best Student and Youth Awards. Covid meant two years “stuck and frustrated” with no competitions so he spent it expanding his design and material possibilities thanks to a Noosa Chances scholarship. Since leaving school he funds his craft through his hospitality job and
Excited about this year’s entry he promises “something unexpected and out of this world” using new experimental materials, as preCovid he relied on “trash”. Working with real-life model Georgia is much easier for Teddy than using a mannequin as it ensures a perfect and professional fit. While this year’s Wearable Art Festival is close to home there are also festivals in Tasmania in June, Perth in November and New Zealand in September. Teddy loves the rush of excitement, the crowds at live events and travelling and says he will decide on where to train and learn more to further his passion for fashion.

the shed she plans on installing even higher racks to hang her period and full-length costumes. Leona loves creating costumes which enable children to “become the character”, patiently showing them how to “wear it, move in it and feel it”. She also makes most hats and props for productions. “So many youngsters today have no idea about trousers which need buttons, how to wear a bustle or even put on a tie,” she said. During performances she is backstage helping them dress and ensuring they care for their costumes.
Leona Seib with costumes
Creating costumes In a converted tractor shed surrounded by rats, snakes, elephants and boxes galore, Leona Seib sits at her sewing machine creating brilliant costumes for another Shakespearean play. She lives on a property settled by the Seib family who arrived from Kingaroy in the 1920s. With five productions a year by Little Seed’s Youth Theatre – a full-scale Shakespeare, a musical and other projects such as Sewer Rats (Tania Nash’s entry in this year’s Anywhere Festival) – school productions and her costume hire business Leona is kept busy.
Historically mothers made their own child’s costumes but today few know how to sew or have the time, so Leona works non-stop planning and designing ahead for future productions while ensuring the current one is perfectly completed. She doesn’t do fancy dress but will hire-out her theatrical costumes to companies with the Wicked ones especially popular. Leona would love some help and you can contact her on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ Leona253. She is currently sewing for As You Like It by Little Seed which runs from 14-22 May at the Lake MacDonald Amphitheatre in Cooroy.
From a young age she learned sewing and crafting from her mother but was mainly selftaught once she began creating dance and theatre costumes for her own children who now have professional theatre careers. In her sixth year as wardrobe mistress for Little Seed she is “getting the hang of it” and despite the wall-to-wall racks, shelves and boxes filling

Mother’s Day Mothers reminisce
The focus on Mother’s Day is typically on children showing appreciation of their mum but it’s also a time for mothers to reflect on their children – where they are, what they are doing and their futures. Eumundi Voice readers sent in some of their reminiscences. of being mugged, broke, lost and in-and-out of love.
My two sons at an adorable age A mother’s lot in a galaxy far, far away Growing up in Perth one slowly begins to realise that you are in fact about as far away from everybody else on the planet as is possible. The marvellous thing about humans is, of course, we eventually realise this is both a curse and a blessing. So it is with mothers and their offspring. Reaching the age of being opinionated, children long to explore the world as they see it – mostly from TV shows and ads for soft drinks. My two sons had the added advantage of British passports courtesy of their father who sailed to these shores as a post-war immigrant at the ripe old age of two. So off they went, skiing in Aspen, basking in the Majorcan sun, practising being sophisticated in London, mixing with loaded Republicans in the Bahamas, along with the usual downsides

Sometimes they even brought these young ladies back to their home town for brief periods but it does take a stalwart type to acclimatise rapidly to these distant shores and back to the bright lights the ladies fled. It is useful to note that girls from Europe do not generally do redbacks, huntsmans, jellyfish, stingers, flies, snakes, geckoes and especially cockroaches. But in the end, home is home, and now they are back here with their forever loves, both from ‘overseas’. It’s not easy being so far removed from one’s family and friends but in the end the sunshine and kids’ heaven of life in the West gets the acknowledgement it deserves. Now Mum has an even better family with daughters-in-law and gorgeous grandchildren. Pauline Taylor Farmgirl to globetrotter “If I get married, do I have to leave home?” sevenyear-old Kerrin asked.

History of Mother’s Day The modern Australian celebration of Mother’s Day grew out of calls for peace and anti-war campaigns following the American Civil War (1861-65). Mother’s Day was established in the United States in 1905 with the Australian tradition taking form in the 1920s. Mother’s Day was designed to give women greater moral authority and recognition as men’s authority at that stage was unchallenged. There were also many mothers who were no longer mothers and wives widowed due to WW1. Many women never had the prospect of becoming mothers or wives as a whole generation was wiped-out in the trenches of the Western Front. In 1924 Janet Heyden from Leichhardt in Sydney started the Australian tradition of giving gifts to mums on Mother’s Day. She was on the committee of the Home for Destitute Women and Children in Strathfield and visiting a patient who had been transferred to Newington State Home. Janet decided something should be done to brighten the lonely lives of the mothers there
and organised gifts for them such as hairpins, hankies and soap. She then appealed to the wider public through local newspapers and soon gifts were pouring in. The tradition of honouring mums with a gift and a card soon caught on and families from around Australia were celebrating Mother’s Day with their mums. Over the years in an increasingly busy world it has become an occasion for family reunions in Australia. Relle Schuh

Housewifery in the 40s Excerpts from a A Student’s Handbook of Housewifery A.M Kaye1940 Housewifery, the work done in a house, is the oldest of the arts, the youngest of the sciences. It entails a very wide knowledge of many subjects, the care of adults and children, in health and sickness, the care and cleaning of the house and its contents, the ordering, storing and cooking of foods, a knowledge of plumbing and sanitation, an appreciation of colour, line and form, a knowledge of the purchasing power of money and the ability to keep accurate accounts, and many other arts and sciences too numerous to mention. One of the most important parts of a housewife’s work is the arranging for the adequate cleaning of all parts of the house. The planning of this work entails much thought and extensive knowledge of the practical work involved. An eight-hour working day is the generally accepted factory limit, but no one has been able to legislate for the length of a housewife’s
working day, and she is constantly expected to work for longer hours in a profession which knows no half-days, national holidays or slack seasons. This is one of the deplorable aspects of household management but much can be done to increase leisure by the careful planning and arrangement of all the work, particularly that known as housework. The routine of the house should be such that the daily work should always be finished before starting the weekly work or the special work of the day.

Labour Day Labour Day in Qld falls on 2 May this year with other states and territories also celebrating the day, but not always in May. The history of Labour Day in Australia spans over a century and marks the struggle for better working conditions. In April 1856 stonemasons at the University of Melbourne marched to Parliament House to push for an eight-hour working day. At the time the working day was 10 to 12 hours. An agreement for a 48-hour week (six days a week) was reached and a victory march held in May that year. CALLING LOCAL ARTISTS, INNOVATORS AND CHANGEMAKERS.

The Victorian march was the first organised workers’ march in the world to achieve the eight-hour working day with no loss of pay. Qld followed the Victorian model in 1858 but the eight-hour working day was not achieved nationally until the 1920s. In 1948 the Commonwealth Arbitration Court determined the working week would be five rather than six days and established a 40-hour working week. The numbers ‘888’ often appear on union and trades hall buildings in Australia symbolising a worker’s day as constituting eight hours each for work, recreation and rest. Visit: www.bit. ly/3rKVIAq.

What is remedial massage? Remedial massage aims to remedy people’s aches and pains through various soft tissue manipulation techniques. The practice of remedial massage varies greatly as no two bodies are the same. Therapists begin by listening to a client’s history, trying to understand what is causing pain or discomfort. Throughout the massage they feel how a client’s soft tissue and nervous system react to ensure their techniques are beneficial. It is likely that treatments provided by therapists will vary considerably as each treatment is 100% tailored to a client’s individual needs. Even if two clients present with the same issue the same treatment approach may not suit both. What are some of the techniques that remedial massage therapists use? These include trigger point therapy, myofascial release, cupping, stretching both static and active, and heat when appropriate to help ease tension. Some people use remedial massage as a proactive treatment to keep their body feeling good and have a massage every two to four weeks. Relaxing the body’s soft tissue and nervous system means you are less likely to feel the effects of tension that everyday life can create. So what is the best way to find a remedial massage therapist who is right for you? It can be challenging to find the ‘perfect’ therapist but it helps to communicate exactly what you are after. There are plenty of massage therapists around and your body will be eternally grateful that you persevered in your search. Amanda Fincham, Remedial Massage Therapist

Sergeant Ryan Hanlon is taking a well-deserved break and I’m fortunate to be relieving as Officer in Charge for a few weeks. Last month’s Offbeat Music Festival was an exceptionally well-run event with no recorded police incidents. It was great to see everybody having a fantastic and safe time while listening to some great live music at The Imperial Hotel on Saturday evening and Dick Caplick Park on Sunday. Some lucky patrons may have even witnessed Senior Constable Warwick Sinclair having a little groove in the Bunker. March and early April were busy for the Eumundi Police Station in relation to traffic enforcement. There were more than 25 traffic infringement notices issued with the majority for speeding. We have seen a sharp increase in drug-driving related offences with 11 people charged with driving with a relevant drug in their saliva, along with another five people charged with drink
driving, three of these high-range. It would be remiss of me not to mention the dangers of drug and drink driving and the risk it poses to all road users. Please don’t drive whilst under the influence – make alternative transport arrangements. Now that Qld students have returned to school I would like to remind everyone of road safety during school times. Keep to the speed limits and stay within the pick-up and drop-off locations and timings. Please don’t stop on a continuous yellow line. These are there for the safety of children, crossing workers, parents, families and teachers. Stopping on these marked areas can obstruct everyone’s view of oncoming traffic. I hope everyone had a happy and safe Easter break. Acting Sergeant Gary McNeil, Eumundi Police Station 131444 – Policelink

History David and Eileen at Anzac Cove 25 April 2015
From 1,000 the poppies grew to well over 3,000
A poppy for every grave To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Gallipoli in 2015 Eumundi’s David and Eileen Walder travelled on the ship MSC Orchestra. They took with them 1,000 poppies knitted and crocheted by Eileen and local volunteers. Before sailing and after a TV story about her poppies, Eileen received requests to conduct daily classes on board. All passengers were given a designated Digger to research and find his grave. Eileen was determined that no grave would be without a special poppy and was overwhelmed by the response from passengers. “I expected about a dozen to turn up on the first day but we had 149 including several young servicemen using their leave to pay homage to previous Diggers. It was wonderful to teach SAS boys to knit and crochet,” Eileen said. Every day at sea the classes continued with children, middle aged men, ladies and even teenagers joining in. “I took a dozen balls of wool and six pairs of knitting needles with me but it was like the miracle of loaves and fishes. Some passengers also had needles and yarn after seeing the TV story. “Bruce Woodley of The Seekers arrived in Cairo bringing more supplies so by making poppysized balls from big ones, people bringing their leftovers, we kept going every day,” said Eileen. Knitting continued on shore excursion buses. At Luxor a SAS officer asked for Eileen’s sewing-up needle for his two knitted poppies. Some were continuing to the Western Front after arriving in Rome and wanted to take poppies or continue knitting. Eileen made a new target of 3,000. 30
The day before arriving at Gallipoli that target was exceeded! Passengers queued the length of the ship to collect their poppies and spent two days touring the battlefields, placing poppies on every grave and memorial. Donations to Legacy raised $4,000 to show passengers’ appreciation for the mammoth effort. Eileen was interviewed by Turkish and Australian television at Gallipoli. “They just picked me out as I landed, not knowing about the poppies. I was thrilled to tell them about the wonderful contribution made by all those volunteers back home and on board.” The Walders placed some at the Turkish cemetery where a group of Turkish ladies asked the meaning of the poppies. They asked for one and also the knitting pattern so that they could make some for their fallen. “Wherever we went in Turkey we were treated with such warmth and genuine emotion about the poppies we wore,” said Eileen. The ship docked in Anzac Cove on 25 April close to the HMAS Anzac. Passengers watched the restricted Dawn Service on a giant screen on deck followed by their own service featuring a moving Hakka by New Zealand passengers. “Seeing our knitted red poppies televised across the world especially at Lone Pine brought tears to passengers’ eyes. I had placed extra ones at the graves of all those boys between 16 and 21 years, dead before their lives had begun. There was so much heroism during every battle but the loss of thousands of lives – was it worth it? We must never forget.”

Dan PURDIE MP Member for Ninderry
Anzac Day It was an honour to join the local community to commemorate Anzac Day earlier this week. Thank you to the Eumundi and District Historical Association for hosting the service, and the committee and all involved in the very fitting tribute to those men and women who bravely made the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of our freedom. I spoke of how wonderful it was to see our community come together to pay our respects on what is one of the most revered days on our national calendar. Young and old, we are all united in our shared admiration and respect for our proud Anzac heritage and legacy, and while more than a hundred years may have passed, the memory of the sacrifice, the honour, the bravery and the courage that defines the Anzac spirit shines just as brightly today. Lest We Forget. Upcoming resurfacing works Resurfacing works are due to commence on a 12 km section of the Bruce Highway adjacent to Eumundi, including the Eumundi-Noosa Road offramp, and the Bunya Road roundabout on the other side of the highway. These works will be done at night, from Sunday to Thursday and will see the offramp closed intermittently. Please drive to the conditions, and thank you in advance for your patience. More information about these works is available from TMR, by phoning 5451 7055.

To find out more about Kess, scan here:
Brilliant to Deal With! “We were so impressed with Kess during our purchase of our new home. From our very first enquiry, when she responded immediately with so much information about the property, it was obvious her knowledge and commitment to the sale was absolute. At the open homes she was attentive and informed but then gave us space to explore the property which was lovely. As a vendor you would be assured in the knowledge that Kess is working 100% to obtain the best price and a great sale for you; but as the purchaser we also felt she worked hard to enable us to make an informed decision with our purchase by providing us any information we requested; chatting about the current market climate; being available for inspections, building and pest inspection and valuations etc. Even though our purchase occurred during the Christmas period there was not a time that Kess didn’t answer a call and help us. We would have no hesitation in recommending Kess as we found her approachable, professional, knowledgeable and ethical with great communication skills. We had been looking for a property for over 2 years and were so excited when this property came up for sale. Thanks Kess for helping us turn the dream into reality.”
