Eumundi Markets the best in Australia Stallholders, visitors and locals alike were thrilled to learn last weekend that the Eumundi Markets had been declared the best market in Australia in the Wotif 2020 Uniquely Aussie Awards. There were six national awards made by Wotif’s voters. Wotif‘s reputation as one of the most internationally recognised leaders in online travel has been 20 years in the making. The competition they conduct for the Uniquely Aussie Awards is 3 years old. Eumundi market operators report that the news

of the award spread quickly, lifting the spirits of stallholders who as small business traders have faced ‘crushing’ challenges for 8 months. Wotif’s report on the winner paid a tribute saying that from 1979 Eumundi Markets “has been an enduring favourite with both locals and visitors ever since. With great food, gorgeous quirky artisan products spanning clothing to art and a cast of colourful characters, it’s easy to see why it’s been popular for so long. It also boasts the stunning Sunshine Coast Hinterland as its backdrop”.

What’s on The Civilised Sultan premieres at Eumundi School of Arts Hall The Civilised Sultan fantasy is a theatre production performed by local artists on the Sunshine Coast. The story tells of an account of humanity’s history and the magic and mystery that was uncovered when a lamp was finally discovered in the ancient Middle East. The production, supported by a Regional Arts Development Grant, features a dazzling assortment of oriental and fusion belly dance, live music, LED acts, sword balancing and features a variety of acts.

Halloween At Halloween our streets bustle with witches, ghosts and all manner of dressed-up kids. And in 2020, keeping safe is on everybody’s mind. Since this is the year of the mask, scary masks are the go: ghost masks, witch masks, even pumpkin masks - the possibilities are endless! It’s also the year to scare people from a distance - monsters and ghosts always scare their victims with hands outstretched!

After a successful, well-attended soft opening excitement builds for the premiere: Friday 30 October and Halloween Special: Saturday 31 October. Performances are at Eumundi School of Arts Hall 7pm-9pm.

People usually show that they have treats to offer by putting their house or porch-lights on. We enjoy having Halloween visitors who are happy and a little bit scary, but a cheery ‘thank you’ doesn’t go astray.

How we learn Preventing infant tooth decay There is so much conflicting information on the internet regarding what is best for you and your child. With information overload, it can be hard to determine what is relevant and useful. This article is intended to give information to help protect your children’s teeth. After feed times, use a soft, damp cloth to gently massage your infant’s gums. This starts your child associating feed time with teeth/ mouth cleaning, making the transition to tooth brushing easier when their teeth erupt. Removing the source of food after feed time is essential to reduce the risk of tooth decay. This prevents continuous suckling and exposure to sugars in both breastmilk and formula. Where possible, feeding should not be used to settle or pacify your child as this can also lead to cluster feeding and prolonged exposure to sugars. Using things like teddies, blankets, reading a book or singing a lullaby are great alternatives

to a bedtime bottle and they are great habits to establish in your child. Bottles should be reserved for breastmilk, formula, water or milk. Juice, cordial and soft drinks are a ‘no go’ for bottles because these are all high in sugar. If you do need to put your child to bed with a bottle, limit it to water only. It is recommended to introduce your child to the cup by 6 months of age and to transition to bottle-free by 12 months. If your child is struggling to sleep without the bottle, consult your GP, child health nurse or a sleep practitioner, who will give you guidance to help your child sleep through the night without a bottle.

Why do we say ‘sorry’? None of us is perfect. I’m not, and I certainly do not expect you to be. So why do we apologise for making a mistake? Why do we say ‘sorry’ all the time? It is common to have an automatic, apologetic response to doing something incorrectly. We are conditioned to feel bad for errors and a desire to make it right by offering our condolences. But isn’t it through mistakes that we learn? Don’t we improve by evaluating, then re-evaluating how something happened, and adjust? Aren’t our mentors there to help us improve? When I started learning karate I was encouraged to respond to correction by saying hai (yes) or domo arigato (thank you) or with a sincere bow (to show respect). It only occurred to me when I became the instructor that there was power in this positive reply. When learning, you should not be sorry for doing something incorrectly, particularly when you

are a beginner, or you have tried with earnest honesty. Having someone experienced take the time to help you improve - that is worthy of gratitude. ‘Thank you’ is about recognising and appreciating the other person’s contribution to your development, whereas ‘sorry’ is about not living up to the estimate you place on yourself. This estimate is within your power to revoke at any time. According to Dr Martin Antony, Director of the Anxiety Research and Treatment Lab at Ryerson University, Ontario, saying ‘sorry’ is “a safety behaviour, an overprotective behaviour, or compensatory strategy. All of these are terms used to describe behaviours that are designed to protect an individual from aversive emotions or potential threat.” Mistakes are - after all - how you improve: in response to a question about his missteps, Thomas Edison said, ‘I have not failed 10,000 times - I’ve successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.’ Peter Zarb, Karate community of Qld

Youth Zeal Youth Theatre When Jez Underwood was still in school, he took the ambitious step of starting his own hinterland youth theatre where children aged 6-13 years learned all aspects of the performing arts: acting, dance and singing. After 7 years travelling to Noosa and Maroochydore from Pomona to participate in shows and be part of performing arts classes, Jez decided to start a locally based Zeal Youth Theatre (ZYT). He asked for ‘expressions of interest’ on local community noticeboards - and his first trial classes kicked off at the start of 2019 at the Cooroy Memorial Hall. He was just 17 years old, and in his final year of high school. Now, students enthusiastically come for weekly classes, but the opportunity to perform on stage for audiences is the real highlight. Last year’s production of Sally Sells Seashells and You Can Too at the Majestic Theatre in Pomona was a proud moment for Jez and his team of coaches. Children ranging from 6-13 years showcased their talents on stage. This year they will proudly be entertaining the community at both the Hinterland Carols and the Eumundi Christmas Extravaganza. In a year where finding opportunities for the students to perform has been difficult, this is an exciting time for all at ZYT. Jez is now based in Brisbane while he attends the Griffith Queensland Conservatorium of Music, studying a Bachelor of Musical Theatre. He continues to run ZYT, with Ellie Corbett

Jez, the student taking on the week-to-week coaching. Both Ellie and Jez have impressive resumes including working professionally and semi-professionally in numerous shows, as well as training with Broadway coaches and at Disneyland! They love sharing their experience and passion for performing arts with their students. Jez hopes to one day be cast in national musical theatre tours. He says his dream role is Evan in the musical Dear Evan Hansen, which has gained critical acclaim on Broadway and demonstrates that musical theatre can be more than just traditional shows. In 2021, Jez would love to commence classes for those aged 13-18 years. In the longer term, he would love to expand ZYT across the hinterland. He also wants to focus on producing more shows with the ZYT students as COVID19 restrictions ease. Meghan Reis, Eumundi

Eumundi Police received 51 calls for assistance or for emergency matters requiring police. During September, Eumundi Police arrested 13 offenders within our police division. The reported offences include categories of Burglary, Drug Possess, Drug Produce, Break and Enter, Steal Motor Vehicle, Stealing, Wilful Damages and Fuel Drive Off. Eumundi Police caught three people drink-driving this month. It is always disappointing that drivers still put lives at risk with high alcohol readings. The highest reading reached was 0.221% by a 59 year-old who was caught on Memorial Dr. This reading is nearly 5 times over the alcohol limit.

Policing units use unmarked police vehicles - so please note this and slow down. Road Policing is responsible for the day-to-day enforcement of speeding and hoon offences around Eumundi. We are still receiving complaints from parents about school parking at Eumundi State School. One offending parent decided to swear at police near the school this week in Caplick Way with feedback on what we should be doing better with police time. We make no apologies for keeping kids safe around our schools. Until the October report – stay safe. Sergeant Ryan Hanlon, Officer in Charge – Eumundi Hanlon.RyanP@police.qld.gov.au

Our Road Policing unit is now based at the old Coolum Police Station and they issued a total of 27 life-endangering offence tickets which included two high range (over 40km per hour) speeding offences within the Doonan area along Wust Rd and Eumundi Range Rd. Our Road

Welcome to new Sunrise Rd residents Jaime and David Duggan, Jala (14) now a student at St Theresa’s Noosaville, Ben (12) now a student at Eumundi State School, and Sage (1). Some years ago, the family had purchased a home in Eumundi, with a long-term plan to move from Sydney to this area. The pandemic brought forward the family’s move to provide the whole family with better lifestyle opportunities.

Glen Ladegaard moved to Crescent Rd Eumundi from Noosa just 5 months ago and has been busy since then setting up her home and a pottery studio.

Eumundi Village Pharmacy would like to introduce Deborah Baldwin to their happy crew. Deb is a fully qualified Dispensary Technician, and a certified trainer and assessor. Deb looks forward to working in our small communitybased pharmacy and getting to know locals. 14

Glen is our only in-town artist who opened her studio to the public over the 10-day 2020 Noosa Open Studios trail. Glen has been encouraged by the number of people who came to visit her including her new neighbours and friends. After spending over 25 years drawing and painting from life, she now focuses more on her pottery, with a focus on recreating her life drawings onto many of her ceramic pieces.

Community wildlife monitoring and awareness program

Echidna

Survey Results Following our article in the Green, April 2020 (issue 334), the community wildlife monitoring and awareness program has been in full swing. We have now completed six property habitat assessments including wildlife monitoring camera surveys and desktop findings, with some interesting results. A story is starting to emerge within the Eumundi area of the wildlife inhabiting local backyards. We are finding that complex vegetation structure - without the disturbance of dogs (domestic or wild), and good habitat connectivity - matters. On the flip side, despite widespread presence of red foxes (one property in Doonan had at least two individuals), a number of native species were present. They clearly have the ‘smarts’ to avoid fox predation. These canny species included echidna, melomys, bush rat, brushtail possums (common and short-eared) possums, longnosed bandicoot, emerald dove and swamp wallaby - all on one camera situated in a tract of backyard bushland. This particular property also had a good amount of habitat ‘furniture’ such as an assortment of hollow logs, rockery gardens, and shrubbery, providing shelter and escape routes for wildlife. Desktop searches revealed that some of these properties have been mapped to contain areas of ‘Core koala habitat’ and ‘habitat restoration’ (source: Queensland Globe). They are wellconnected to surrounding bushland remnants, a significant factor with regard to positive long-term biodiversity outcomes. The koala is 16

Red fox

Fawn-footed melomys

a significant species that will benefit from this connectivity. A common finding during the habitat assessments was a lack of hollow-bearing trees which are vital for many species, including mammals such as gliders, brushtail possums, microbats and birds such as parrots, cockatoos and owls. We recommended the installation of hollow-log homes (nest boxes) in an assortment of sizes to cater for the differing needs and habitat requirements of these animals. Depending on the tree species, it can take 60+ years for hollows to develop. As much of our landscape has a history of logging or clearing, it will be a long while till we see significant hollow development in the regrowth. Recommendations for some of the properties included the containment of freely roaming domestic dogs and cats; and management of invasive predators; in particular the red fox (assistance is available through the Sunshine Coast Council pest animal control program). Also, walking tracks in backyard bushland could be minimised to reduce easy access for predators. Enhancement of habitat features can be provided with hollow logs, rock features, habitat stacks such as stacks of woody debris and logs, dead-fall timber of any size and piled organic material (perhaps from weed control) which provides high-value shelter for grounddwelling fauna. In some situations, mess is good! Some properties are suitable for the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly vine, available from Noosa Landcare. Alina and Kieran, www.wildwise.com.au

Community news Breast cancer awareness month Four women, local or with local family connections have kindly shared a little of their breast cancer journey to contribute to Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. Shelley I was diagnosed with grade 3, stage 2 multifocal breast cancer when I was 37. My life was turned upside down. With the love and support of family, friends, and Bloomhill support services, the difficult journey to recovery began. I am still unwell after months of treatment, side-effects are many and ongoing. It has been a steep learning curve with so much happening that needs to be understood and the consequences considered. But I have much to be grateful for, and I enjoy every day, especially the precious time with family. My advice when undergoing treatments, especially the unpleasant ones, is to do something nice for yourself: a walk along the beach, stop on the way home and enjoy the sunset, or do something you consider a bit special. Breast cancer awareness is so important, early detection provides the best chance of survival. Know your breasts, - it could save your life. Gwen I am a breast cancer survivor of 20 years plus. October Awareness Month reminds us all that there have been a lot of journeys like mine - but with early diagnosis and treatment, survival rates have increased markedly. I have personally battled secondary cancer setbacks along the way but without my husband, family, friends, medical staff and support volunteers, my journey would have been a whole lot different. For me the Wesley Hospital doctors and staff, the Kim Walters Choices program with the breast care nurses and volunteers have contributed very positively to my well-being. Awareness month is that – be aware.

months were taken up with appointments, scans and hospital visits. I had surgery, 8 doses of chemotherapy and 30 rounds of radiation therapy. I lost my hair twice. But I am a survivor, recently celebrating 15 years since my journey began. Early diagnosis is essential and a positive attitude vital. I was also blessed to spend time convalescing with my wonderful parents in the incredibly beautiful area of Eumundi – Such great medicine. Karen It feels good to me that there is more awareness about breast cancer. It brings it to the forefront and is something we all should discuss. Women, men and young people should confront the past history of lack of discussion about breast cancer and the importance of checking breasts for irregularities. Women should check themselves and if they find a lump, take control of their bodies before anyone else does. Women need to be aware of their bodies and check, check, check. Breast cancer is now so common and should be discussed from an early age as more young women are experiencing breast cancer. The earlier it is detected, the earlier treatment can commence.

Mental health month Horses can help to find mental wellness Australia marks Mental Health Awareness each October. In the peaceful surrounds of Belli Park, Horses and Humans is using the perceptive abilities of horses to help people of all ages, navigate their way towards mental wellness. The equine-assisted personal therapy at Horses And Humans is an innovative mental health therapy that involves a person in therapy interacting with horses as they are exceptionally accepting and intuitive in their interactions with humans. It is often their perceptive response to that person who provides the catalyst for open discussion. Details of the therapy program are at www. horsesandhumans.com.au.

Lift the Lid on mental health The Sunday walk to support the mental health month focus of Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental health research, funding had all the features of a good walk as well as raising awareness and research funds: pleasant weather, new families to meet, discovery of the five underpasses of Eumundi, meeting Ken Harvey practising on his trumpet, kids enjoying their small gifts, and non-walkers cooking a post-walk BBQ.

New flight path concerns Already flights over Eumundi and Verrierdale are not complying with what was notified several years ago. There are more flights and the biggies haven’t started yet. It seems a Cooroy group has been successful in having the flight path moved 1 degree. That has already resulted in more direct flights over areas of Eumundi and Verrierdale. The ‘old’ runway that was to cater for older, noisier planes has been dug up – who benefited from this change of plan? There is evidence of noise and height non-compliance over Verrierdale and Eumundi.

Council News from Div 9 Cr Maria Suarez Eumundi Bushcare Group The Eumundi Bushcare Group is looking for volunteers to help restore the EumundiNoosa Road Natural Amenity Reserve. They hold a working bee on the fourth Sunday of the month, from 8:30 – 11am. This is a new site for the group, which has naturally occurring birdwing butterfly vines that surround a waterway and could potentially be home for the platypus. The riparian area is generally in poor condition, and the group are looking forward to encouraging native plants to grow by removing competing weeds such as Singapore daisy and trad. The BushCare community contribute vital hours to help restore and conserve our beautiful hinterland and coastal parks and reserves. They improve the habitat for our wildlife and leave a positive impact on our environment. If you’d like to learn new skills, be active, enjoy the outdoors and make new friends please contact the BushCare Community Conservation Officer Debbie McQuattie at debbie.mcquattie@ sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au to join the next Eumundi Bushcare working bee.

Sport and well-being Railway towns rugby rivalry re-ignited From the early 1900s to 1919 most of the rugby union clubs on the Sunshine Coast, then called the Near North Coast, were based in our railway towns. This list included Gympie, Pomona, Cooroy, Eumundi, Nambour, Yandina, Woombye, Beerwah and even Buderim. In 1920 all of these clubs, as one, voted at a meeting in Nambour to change over to rugby league. This situation remained till the 1980s-1990s when rugby union again started to be part of the sporting calendar with new clubs including Noosa, Caloundra, Maroochydore and University being joined by resurrected teams from Nambour and Gympie. This year Eumundi re-joined the competition with a reserve grade team from the town taking to the rugby field. So it was that 101 years after they last played, teams from Nambour and Eumundi played a historic match on Saturday 3 October at the Eumundi Showgrounds.

In a closely fought and entertaining match, Eumundi Dragons went down 16-37 to their opponents (The Toads) from Nambour. At times the Dragons showed real spirit, skill and cohesion to stay with their opponents but in the end it was the experience of the Nambour team of many years of playing together that secured their win. Team officials from both clubs have been unable to find out the official 1919 scores but all members of the Eumundi team are looking forward to a rematch against their Nambour rivals in 2021 to even up the tally of wins in the 21st century. Doug Toms, president, Eumundi Dragons Rugby Union

From the earth What should I be doing now in the garden? Spring has definitely ‘sprung’—and as the temperature begins to slowly rise, trees such as Silky Oaks and Bottlebrushes are putting on a floral show. Over the coming months, trees will be using their stores of nutrients to produce flowers, fruits and seeds.

Mulch layer spread out to dripline.

One question I am often asked is: What should I be doing now in the garden? You should be applying a good layer of mature-aged forest mulch to the base of your trees, as shown in the diagram. This is the best starting point to help your trees as we head into spring and summer.

It is very important that the mulch is aged. If it’s green it will rob the soil of nitrogen, which is the building block for your tree’s leaf growth. If you Mulch 2 - 3” deep. are buying mulch from a landscape supply, or direct from a tree service Root flare at base of trunk is visible. company, an important question to ask is how long has it been aged. A couple of days is too fresh, a couple of weeks would be a minimum. If you can’t find aged mulch, buy it fresh, and let it sit and age. Do not be alarmed: it will have steam (not smoke) coming from the pile in the morning. Kurt Brown, Certified Arborist, Doonan 22

Noosa Open Studios Art Trail 2020

The 10-day event has been rated by leaders, artists and trail visitors as an ‘extraordinary success’. The event launched in style at Ron and Lynn Scott’s Moon Mountain Sanctuary, Eumundi. They hosted an epicurean soiree for 100 (COVID19 Safe) guests where art lovers enjoyed music and visual art including the unveiling of Nick Warfield’s new work “The Two Sides of Bob Hawke” whilst sipping locally crafted beer, wine, gin and mead, as well as enjoying Slow Food Noosa bento boxes. Keynote address was by Woodford Folk Festival’s founder Bill Hauritz.

A record number of visitors undertook road trips engaging with 98 local artists and galleries as they threw open their studio doors for art lovers to see where the magic happens. The free event included five geographic art trails covering ceramicists to sculptors, knife artisans to illustrators; furniture makers, mixed media artists, printmakers, photographers, painters; and those working with glass, metal, mosaics, textiles, wood and more. Noosa Open Studios Art Trail is now the second largest art trail in Australia.

What are you reading now? I know that science fiction (sci fi) isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, but for me, I like to drink the whole pot. Not just any sci fi mind you, and certainly not fantasy. The sci fi I enjoy is ‘hard’ sci fi based on credible future concepts and believable science. Ideally it’s about ‘space opera’ where the story line takes me to other solar systems and galaxies, and the adventure incorporates science and technology as they may develop in the future. Topics I find interesting include: robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Faster than Light (FTL) travel, black holes, dark matter and time travel. Some of my favourite authors are Kevin J Anderson, Peter F Hamilton, Vernor Vinge and Alastair Reynolds. I am currently reading the second book in a trilogy by Gary Gibson (the Shoal Sequence). The central character in the story is a swashbuckling, female star-ship pilot called Dakota. Dakota is a ‘tech head’, her brain having been augmented with sophisticated implants and circuitry. She sets out for a planet in another solar system within the Orion Arm of our Milky Way galaxy, and begins her search for a derelict alien starship. The derelict purportedly contains FTL drive technology, which Dakota aims to steal. On arrival in the area of the derelict she soon becomes aware that there is competition from alien races to retrieve the derelict and its secrets. One race she unavoidably encounters is the Bandati, an insectoid race which communicates

by a combination of staccato clicks and exuded scents. Understanding between Dakota and the Bandati is achieved by the use of interpretation ‘beads’ which float in front of the aliens. When I last put my book down the aliens were trying to exploit Dakota and her ‘tech head’ capabilities to gain access to the derelict and its technology. The process involved all sorts of coercion, including torture. A favoured torture technique of the Bandati is to apply deadly poisonous two-metre-long maul-worms onto the naked body of their victims. Despite this horrid treatment Dakota is resisting as much as one human amongst a hive of sapient insectoids can resist, and she is determined to secure the trophy for herself. I cannot wait to pick my book up again to see what happens next. But first, it is time for another cup of tea. Greg Molyneux, Cooroy

Two of us Geoff and Anne Shepherd You might feel you know Geoff because of his distinguished service role as Chief of the Air Force (Ret) speaking at Eumundi Anzac Day services, but this story tells more of the man and his family. Tell me a little about your life before Eumundi Anne and I met on a blind-date in 1973 in Melbourne when I was a cadet at the Royal Australian Air Force Academy which was located at the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base, Point Cook just outside Melbourne. I spent my adult working life, a total of 38 years, as a RAAF pilot on Mirage fighters and then F-111s. We lived in many places around Australia and in South East Asia during my service. I flew Mirages in Butterworth, Malaysia, and did a tour of duty in Singapore as the Air Force Attaché. My last few years of service were spent in Canberra as Chief of the Air Force. When did you move here, and why? While we only moved here permanently in 2008 we had lived here previously. We built our house on Eumundi Range Rd in 1991 and it was mainly used as a weekend and holiday house for many years. For the 3 years 1996 to 1998 Anne and our two boys lived at Eumundi full-time while I was away a lot on RAAF exercises. During this time we developed a very strong connection to the Eumundi area and made many local friends. We moved away to Sydney and Canberra for 11 years after that - but we always felt that Eumundi was ‘home’ and it was where we all wanted to return to.

History corner Yandina The word Yandina is of Aboriginal origin and means to go on foot; yan, go; dinna, on foot. Yan-dinna first gave its name to the Yandina Creek area and was connected to the ancient bora rings and tribal ground there. Of Yugarabul origin the word indicates that Aborigines from other areas were visitors. The Skyrings used the name for Yandina Cattle Run, leased in 1853. In

As a young boy and adolescent throughout the 1950s and 1960s, I holidayed at Noosa with my parents every year. Eumundi, Noosaville, Noosa Heads and Tewantin were very different then. They were only small, quiet towns well off the tourist ‘beaten track’. We used to rent old houses along Gympie Terrace every school holiday period and I remember many fun-filled and sunny days playing and swimming in the Noosa River and in the surf at Noosa Heads. My home on Eumundi Range Road is only 200m from the C H Ball Lookout and picnic spot, and I can remember having many family picnics there when I was just a little boy. Why do you like living in this area? What do you like doing? I like living here because it is still a relatively quiet, and very green area, but has easy access to Brisbane and all the large shops and services there. The natural attractions such as Fraser Island and the Coolooola National Park are where I go camping a lot and I go offshore fishing off Noosa Heads and Double Island Point whenever I can. I like my local township of Eumundi and many of the other small towns and villages. Those of us who live on the Sunshine Coast are very lucky to have such easy access to the many wonderful places nearby. 1868 the Yandina Post Office was established just upstream from and opposite Dunethin Rock, on the south-west corner of the Yandina Cattle Run; hence the use of the name, Yandina. However, later that same year, when the Post Office was relocated to South Maroochy Crossing, the name Yandina came with it and was used for the township. The name Yandina was also used for the Yandina Telegraph Office, opened in 1874 and the Yandina Railway Station, opened in 1891. 25

History of Noosa Hill Climb

This year’s Noosa Hill Climb’s Summer Challenge will be held 14-15 November. But when did the Hill Climb start? Back in 1996, I had to go to Cooroy and decided to drive up the old main road - Gyndier Drive - instead of the boring new road up the big hill. An idea sprang up: to investigate the possibility of holding a hill climb event on this marvellous 3.3km road, which was no longer used, other than to dump rubbish. A video of the proposed section was presented to the Historic Racing Car Club of Queensland which had the expertise to run events. The Noosa Car Club and its members were to prepare the track. Council was approached and after meetings and lots of drawings to explain our plans, we were given the go ahead for a oneevent trial. The huge task of preparing began, with many members and many working bees. There were hours of clearing rubbish and cutting back the undergrowth from years of neglect. The road needed patching in many places. Concrete blocks were made from left-over jobs at the Sellars Concrete plant, after member Bob Haines made moulds for them, and they were placed on the most critical bends that had big drop offs. A 1km section was chosen as the most exciting for the time-trial events. This grew to 1.5km after the first event. A pit area was handed over to us by National Parks and we turned a virtual rubbish dump into a great park, where competitors and race cars could congregate. The Noosa Hill Climb has the reputation as 28

Australia’s toughest hill climb, and competitors come from all over to challenge the hill. There are 10 grandstands at 14 of the various corners; a bus to transport people up and down the hill; and a walking track to turn 10. The corners are never more than 20m from view, so spectators can see the action as they walk the track. We have up to 150 cars competing—and the action is continual. The event runs twice each year, winter and summer. The road has now become an asset to the community, being used daily by bike riders, walkers and skaters. It is part of the Noosa Triathlon course. After lobbying to Council, the road is now closed to all vehicular traffic, with bollards and gates. All in all, it is a very proud achievement for the Noosa Beach Classic Car Club.

Health and well-being A young stroke survivor’s story On 25 January 2014 a fit 43-year-old male Chris Kay woke, headed to the bathroom and his life changed. His story begins here. My vision suddenly went sideways, I couldn’t stand and kept falling over but I thought it would pass. I stumbled to my car, driving with one eye closed, to a job I needed to finish, five minutes away. Miraculously, I passed no cars, but I recall hitting kerbs and roundabouts. Reaching my destination, slumped at my steering wheel, my brain went into melt down but my body somehow, wanted to continue. I surely couldn’t be having a stroke? And so my new journey commenced. An active, fit man - low heart rate, good blood pressure, I had suffered a stroke in the thalamic cortex of the brain. Two clots had passed through my brain - the second pushing the first one through. My doctor’s words haunt me today: “You are lucky to be alive. Most people who have a stroke in their thalamic cortex are either dead or vegetables. Go home and rest. Come back in a month.” I stumbled down the corridor, aided by my wife, terrified but grateful I was still alive. I held a yellow-coloured stroke support group pamphlet pack. One phone number was disconnected, but after much research my wife found a support group in Caloundra. I was the youngest member by 30 years, and I appeared to have no physical impairment. I was surrounded by the kindest people, yet I felt guilty, almost a fake and that I should just snap out of it and move on. I knew in my heart I was not the same person. I would sit, lost for words in a whirl of emotion, suffering intense nerve pain. Simple things were no longer an option: like driving, using a computer, identifying spoons, remembering the

word ‘carrot’. I was losing track of the day, time, year…thinking my children were infants again. It was all so frightening. Yet I physically looked perfect. I had an invisible brain injury. I felt so alone. As time passed, I felt more and more isolated. I knew no one should ever feel this way. I realised I had to do something myself. My wife and I brainstormed how to create a support group for young stroke survivors. I became the ‘noisy wheel’ and found so much community support. The National Stroke Foundation backed my concept and arranged immediate artwork. Many people in the community sponsored the printing. Right here in Eumundi, I met my first fellow young survivor. I was no longer alone. Our gettogethers began with one fellow survivor from Maleny, but very quickly grew. I was amazed to find so many young stroke survivors on the Sunshine Coast. Then survivors came from Brisbane - just to connect with people who understood what they were going through. I had achieved my goal. We were no longer alone. My efforts were acknowledged by the National Stroke Foundation in 2016. I received the “Changing Life after Stroke Award” for Australia, a very humbling moment for the scared guy who had stared at a yellow brochure with a disconnected number on it. If you are a stroke survivor: you are not alone. Find us on Facebook (Young Queensland Stroke Support Group) or email chris.kay69@gmail. com). We are simply a group of people who catch up occasionally and support each other. Chris Kay, Doonan
