FROM THE EDITOR ANYONE who knows me knows I love a pop of colour on our front cover. So, when we received this great photo from the recent Beerwah Colour Stampede, we definitely thought it was cover worthy!

This year’s event at Beerwah was the first local community event of its type and, judging by the letter received from the organising committee, it was a total winner all round – fun for the entrants and a great fundraiser!

Another important event that is currently under way is the Glass House Small Business Awards (aka the Glassies) that promote and recognise the efforts of our many small businesses and their employees. It gives locals the opportunity to show your appreciation for the contribution they make to the wider community.

Do the right thing … just not at local bus stops

By Greg Brown A READER recently contacted GC&M News asking if we could find out why there were no recycling bins provided at the new bus stops being built along roads around the Bruce Highway upgrade works from Caloundra Road to Sunshine Motorway.

“You’d think in this day of heightened environmental consciousness, a recycling bin would be a standard feature for something like a bus stop so that people can do the right thing,” the reader said.

In fact, if you look around you will find that there isn’t a recycling bin to be found at any bus stop anywhere across the hinterland.

How then are people, as the reader rightly asked, supposed to do the right thing and reduce their waste to landfill?

An initial enquiry to the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), which through its Translink branch manages the public transport network and the bus stops, was referred to Sunshine Coast Council.

It appears that there is an arrangement that, although the bus stops are part of Translink’s infrastructure, the council assumes the responsibility for planning and managing the bins at bus stops.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

To maintain some uniform standards, TMR has created a document related to the planning, design and construction of bus stops as part of its ‘Public Transport Infrastructure Manual’.

Although these guidelines recommend that as part of environmentally sustainable design initiatives the planning should incorporate a recycling bin at a bus stop, it seems that is just not happening.

When asked why council didn’t provide bins at bus stops, a council spokesperson said the council aspires for the Sunshine Coast to be Australia’s most sustainable region and, with “towards zero waste to landfill by 2041” being its ultimate goal, the council encourages all residents to recycle whether they are at home or out and about.

“If possible, hang onto recyclables until you can pop it in the right bin,” the helpful council spokesperson said.

The reason the council doesn’t put recycling bins in all public places is that it says people just can’t be trusted.

“Public place recycling bins experience a high contamination rate with people putting in dog waste bags, cigarette butts and other nonrecyclables,” the spokesperson said.

When asked how they determine what public places do and don’t have recycling

bins, the spokesperson said it was determined on a case-by-case basis.

“It takes into consideration many variables including how the area is used, the access available for the trucks and distance to the bin location, local amenity and aesthetics, and consideration of local residents, businesses, public health and safety, and if there is adequate and suitable space as the waste/recycle pair have a very large footprint,” the spokesperson said.

GC&M News asked the local War on Waste Glasshouse Country group what they thought. Group spokesperson Liz Harris said that in this day and age having recycling bins at bus stops was something that should be a given.

“Recycling works best when you make it easy and convenient for people. Every time there isn’t a recycling bin next to a landfill bin, that means that recyclable items end up going into landfill when they don’t need to, rather than being turned into new products,” Liz said.

“War on Waste Glasshouse Country would strongly urge council to look at including recycling bins wherever it can, including at bus stops.”

It’s not like the provision of recycling bins is anything new or unusual. They’ve been a part of our public spaces and our homes for decades now.

news

At least in some community spaces council recognises the civic and environmental benefits of making it easier for people to recycle.

Limited numbers of recycling bins are included in some public spaces … wherever council deems them appropriate … just not at bus stops.

Walk along the main street of nearly all local towns and you’ll see that the recycling bins are few and far between.

It seems the commitment to recycling has stepped up if the number of bins installed as part of the new Landsborough streetscape is anything to go by.

However, it’s not because council has stepped up its approach.

When asked about the extra bins in Landsborough, the council spokesperson suggested that it was just good luck.

“In Landsborough, space has allowed for the provision of a few extra recycling bins above what has been provided in towns nearby,” the spokesperson said.

What do you think?

Would you like to see a recycling bin alongside every waste rubbish bin in our public spaces?

Eating disorder clinic - Wandi Nerida opens in Mooloolah

By Sonia Isaacs Clark ABOUT 100 guests attended the recent official opening of the Butterfly Foundation’s Wandi Nerida, Australia’s first dedicated recovery centre for people living with an eating disorder.

Located in Mooloolah Valley, Wandi Nerida is a term gifted by local elders of the Kabi Kabi nation that means to “gather together to blossom”.

The facility will be the first residential recovery centre in Australia. The state-of-the-art 13-bed residential treatment facility is set to open its doors to its first participants on July 12.

The official opening, which was livestreamed across the country, included the Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention David Coleman, Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace, Kabi Kabi elders, as well as representatives from the Butterfly Foundation and EndED, health professionals, local community supporters and sponsors.

Mr Wallace said the opening marked the happy

culmination of six years of incredible hard work and collaboration by the local community, EndED founders Mark and Gay Forbes, philanthropists Roy and Nola Thompson and the Butterfly Foundation and dozens of local businesses who stepped up to offer their support.

“The Sunshine Coast has truly come together with the support of the Morrison government to create something life-changing here in our community,” Mr Wallace said.

The facility will allow participants to rediscover their authentic self, while overcoming an eating disorder in a safe, nurturing and healing home-like environment, that also delivers intensive, person-centred treatment.

One of the unique aspects of the centre will be the high client-staff ratio, staffed by a multidisciplinary team of experts, many of whom have lived experience of an eating disorder. Staff members, recovery navigator Laura Zuber, who was MC at the opening, and nurse unit manager Serena Riley shared commentary and insights into their own lived experiences during the event.

Mooloolah resident Serena said she was excited that this Australia-first facility was located in the lush surroundings of Mooloolah, and she had no doubt that the beautiful natural setting would prove therapeutic to attending participants.

“With 25 acres, we also have all the space we need to offer additional evidence-based complementary therapies such as permaculture and equine-assisted therapy,” Serena said.

Serena, who has lived with bulimia for more than a decade before her own recovery, understands the

Facility vital importance of having a facility like Wandi Nerida, which would provide hope and support in recovery that was previously unavailable in Australia.

She is pleased that the facility will pave the way for plans to establish a centre in every state and felt honoured to be able to support others in their recovery.

“My own journey and recovery led me to want to help others by becoming a nurse specialising in eating disorders,” Serena said.

“By having transparency about my own lived experiences, I can offer a glimmer of tangible hope to participants and show that I’m living proof that they can recover.”

Wandi Nerida is located at 228 Old Gympie Road Mooloolah. For more details go to www.butterfly.org.au/wandi-nerida Anyone needing help or support with eating disorders or body image issues is encouraged to contact the Butterfly national helpline on 1800 33 4673 (1800 ED HOPE) or email support@butterfly.org.au. For urgent support call Lifeline 13 11 14.

Maleny Masons dig deep THE Maleny Masonic Lodge last week made a $5,000 donation to the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre towards its Women’s House facility.

Maleny Neighbourhood Centre coordinator Rick Paget said the Women’s House was not an emergency women’s shelter but a temporary place to live for women experiencing hardships and an unstable accommodation situation.

“It allows these women and their children time to regroup and transition back into more stable and secure housing,” Rick said.

“While they are staying in the Women’s House, they have all the resources and support available through the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre.

“The $5,000 will greatly contribute towards the continued operating costs of running the house, and

so it is very much appreciated. We are grateful to the Maleny Masonic Lodge for their compassion.”

Lodge Master Nihal Wije said the donation was just one part of the lodge’s community support program.

“Our local Maleny Masonic Lodge raises funds through charitable events, channelling the money through the Hand Heart Pocket charity arm of the Freemasons Queensland organisation,” Nihal said.

“In turn, they then boost the funds so that a larger amount can be given back to the community, which is why we are able to give the Neighbourhood Centre this sizable donation.

“We are proud to work with the neighbourhood centre on a range of projects, as we recognise the great role they play in fostering a fairer and more sustainable community,” he said.

No good news for nbn woes WITH the capability of technology doubling every 18 months, the requirements for a robust and responsive internet for our work, home and general connectedness is becoming ever more important.

At a recent community forum facilitated by Maleny Forums – a local group that raises local issues, increases knowledge and fosters local action – locals and businesses were given the opportunity to raise issues and questions relating to the national broadband network (nbn) and be heard by people with the authority to make changes.

Facilitated by Barry Smith from Maleny Forums, the evening allowed the 70-plus attendees to raise problems with and ask questions of Marcello Massi, NBN Co’s community and stakeholder manager, and federal Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace.

Telstra representatives were invited but gave their apologies.

Mr Massi explained that NBN Co had completed its requirement to provide all Australians with access to at least a minimum five megabits per second upload/25 megabits per second download internet service through fibre connectivity, wireless broadband towers or a satellite service (Sky Muster), depending on where you live.

6

Maleny resident Richard Proudfoot said that the issues faced by many in areas outside urban township centres where fibre connectivity was available, related to the availability of service, quality of service and cost of service.

“Many in the areas covered by the wireless broadband towers cannot receive consistent service, if any, due to issues with the local terrain and tree density,” Mr Proudfoot said.

“This means they can only access the satellite service, which suffers from significant signal latency, is data limited and is not what locals thought they would be receiving when the national broadband network was being rolled out.”

Questions and comments from the floor backed up this scenario, with locals saying that they felt like secondclass citizens.

“We all paid the same through our taxes for the nbn system to be created but we’re getting a substandard service even though streets not far away have reliable, fast and cheaper fibre services,” one participant said.

Mr Wallace suggested that people in wireless broadband and satellite service areas should keep their copper line to provide their phone and ADSL internet.

However, the meeting was told this was not a solution as Telstra was only obligated to maintain the telephone service in these areas, not the ADSL internet connections.

Although a recent announcement by the federal government will see an extra $3.5 billion earmarked to upgrade and improve the existing fibre network across Australia, bringing faster speeds to people already connected to the fibre network, there are no plans to upgrade or expand the local wireless broadband network beyond its current capacity.

There are also no plans to expand the fibre network beyond the existing limits into growing areas just outside of townships that are struggling with the inferior wireless broadband and satellite services.

Mr Massi suggested that people in these communities could pay to have the fibre service extended into their streets.

Maleny Forums is establishing an action group to follow up on the nbn network and service inadequacies and is inviting interested locals to be a part of the group by contacting them via email at malenyforums@gmail.com

Trade trash for treasure at the Seaside Scavenge ARE you up for a morning of cleaning up your local environment, winning some awesome prizes and grooving to some funky live tunes?

If this sounds like your thing, join local group Visionary Ocean Warriors who are organising a free community clean-up, clothes swap and waste education event called Spring into Scavenge on Saturday, June 26 from 8am-12noon.

Lauren Hindmarch from Sea Shepard with Poppy Ives from Visionary Ocean Warriors

The scavenge involves a waterway clean-up and clothes swap where litter collected becomes currency to buy quality pre-loved clothes, books and bric-a-brac donated by the local community.

For every piece of litter collected by participants, they will be rewarded with trash tokens to use in the pop-up market.

Participants will learn how to separate and catalogue rubbish to capture data for the Tangaroa Blue Australian Marine Debris Initiative.

Younger participants will be able to participate in the Waste2Resource kid’s education game around recycling, and Visionary Ocean Warriors invites everyone to attend a free no-sew bag station, up-cycling a bag from an old t-shirt.

There will be performances by local musicians, including local duo Frank & Louis, and Isaiah Hing, who will keep participants entertained with funky tunes throughout the morning.

Beerwah local Poppy Ives, who is the scavenge coordinator and founder of Visionary Ocean Warriors, said participating in the Spring into Scavenge program has given her extra confidence and knowledge to reach out to the local community on the issues of marine debris.

“It is a fun way to engage the community in beach clean ups,” Poppy said.

The event is part of the month-long celebrations for World Environment Day and is a plastic-free event, so don’t forget to bring your own water bottle and keep cup.

Community members can register for the Seaside Scavenge Caloundra via Eventbrite, a free ticketing registration process.

For more details go to the Seaside Scavenge website or Facebook events page and look for your local listing.

A DEVELOPMENT application recently lodged with Sunshine Coast Council for five units to be built on a 901m2 residential block at 1 Harry Place Beerwah is set to be repeated across a large part of Beerwah.

The current three-bedroom house, which sold last October for $418,000, will be replaced by five three-bedroom units, each with a two-car garage.

The land is zoned for medium density residential development, as is the whole neighbourhood bounded by Montrose Street, Arcadia Drive, Litchie Street, Pine Camp Road, Simpson Street and Old Landsborough Road.

Given the number of properties in that area, similar developments could happen with the remaining 160-plus properties over time, possibly increasing the population of the 25 hectare zone by about 1,500-2,000 people plus their cars.

According to the planning report submitted with the development application, the proposal meets all the requirements of the planning scheme and, as it is code assessable, the development is not advertised and no public submissions for or against will be accepted.

Future energy cost savings FOUR hinterland hospitality businesses in the Fisher electorate – Tranquil Park and Spicers Tamarind Retreat in Maleny, Montville Misty View Cottages and Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat – will receive grants of between $19,000 and $25,000 from the federal government’s Hotel Energy Uplift Program.

Member for Fisher Andrew Wallace said the grants would help lower energy bills by upgrading to more energy efficient air-conditioning, refrigeration and equipment, improving buildings through double glazing and insulation,

and carrying out energy audits or installing energy monitoring equipment.

“Better energy efficiency for some of these larger businesses is also going to mean a reduced environmental impact for our local tourism sector, helping to preserve the Sunshine Coast’s unique natural assets,” Mr Wallace said.

He said the two-fold benefit of these grants was that the business operators would save on future energy costs and the grant funding would hopefully be spent with local trades people such electricians, carpenters, engineers and plumbers to contribute to the local economy.

Local farmer takes out export p award GREEN Valley Fingerlimes at Beerwah was one of two Queensland horticultural exporters recently recognised in the Queensland Horticulture Export Awards by peak industryy body for Queensland, Growcom.

At the start of the COVID pandemic, Green Valley Fingerlimes, a premium grower of Champagne Red finger limes, saw the closure of many of their markets.

However, with the assistance of a Queensland Government grant, Green Valley Fingerlimes was able to buy a new blast chiller and freezer room, enabling the business to diversify from fresh only to frozen finger lime products.

Today they export 20 per cent of

production to Singapore on a weekly basis and are looking to break into new markets, including Japan and the United States, that only accept frozen product.

Big congratulations to Jade King the dynamo behind Green Valley Fingerlimes.

Green Gables of Landsborough earmarked Fast-charging electric vehicle station in Maleny for development THE old character property at 45 Maleny Street Landsborough is planned for development to make way for a four-lot subdivision.

An application has been lodged with Sunshine Coast Council to turn the current double-sized block into four separate house lots – two 600m2 blocks, a 629m2 block and a larger 2,212m2 to the rear.

A large part of the native creek line vegetation through the centre is planned to be retained as a drainage easement.

Although the house is not listed in the current register of historically significant places of the Sunshine Coast, it was specified in an historic heritage places of local significance document in a Landsborough to Nambour Rail Project impact assessment study, where it was referred to as “Green Gables”.

The future of the old house is uncertain if development approval is given.

Although the planning report from the developer states that the house “is able to remain on the site”, this statement is conflicted by civil engineering plans that highlight the existing buildings (the house and various sheds) as “buildings to be demolished”.

The arguments used in the report for the small lot sizes proposed could also be the subject of some uncertainty.

The report interprets the Landsborough Local Plan Code as not having specific benchmarks for minimum lot sizes, so it relies on the general planning code for reconfiguring lots of land, which gives an allowable minimum lot size of 600m2.

However, the Landsborough Local Plan Code does include statements on lot sizes, referring to lot sizes that are sympathetic to the traditional character of Landsborough. It then refers to “larger lot sizes”, with references to minimum lot sizes of 650m2 and 750m2.

Council planning assessment officers will need to interpret what the planning scheme intended for minimum lot sizes in Landsborough.

As the development is deemed code assessable, the proposal is not advertised and no community consultation is required.

IN keeping with its environmentally friendly ethos, Maple Street Co-op has installed the area’s first 24/7 fastcharging electric vehicle (EV) station.

Co-op members and visitors are now able to pull up in the dedicated parking spot located in the laneway next to the gable end of the building off Maple Street and use the EV charge point with the Elanga app to pay.

Maple Street Co-op manager Charlotte Fogarty-Henderson said it was great that the 42-year-old community cooperative was now “bang on-trend” with the new installation.

“It’s all part of our great service but, more importantly, this is part of our deep-rooted philosophy of limiting our

“For example, our roof is covered in solar panels that not only power this EV station but also power our fridges and lighting.”

The fast-charging station is about 10-15 times faster at charging than a domestic electric power socket, allowing the EV owner time to enjoy a 20–30 minute stroll around the Maleny main street.

Beloved teacher retires after 28 yyears THE distinguished career of beloved Glass House Mountains State School staff member, Mrs Keren Frohloff, will end at the completion of the current school term.

Keren has devoted her time and talents to the school for more than 28 years and is the longest serving teacher in the 115-year history of the school – a significant achievement.

She has witnessed numerous changes at the school and taught hundreds of students, even welcoming past students who return years later with their own children to start their learning journey.

During her almost three decades at the school, her involvement and influences have been substantial.

As an early years teacher, she successfully led the preschool program and the transition to prep when it was introduced to the school.

Keren maintained her involvement in early years education as a year 1 teacher and continued to assume a leadership role within the sector. She introduced a number w of initiatives including the perceptual motor o program, speech language screening program, p tthe junior sports days and the school’s Early YYears Expos. For the past three years she has been the head of department – curriculum. b Deputy principal Stephen Hall said Keren’s ssuccesses at the school were many and varied.

However, he said her greatest achievements were found in the qualities she always brought to her job.

“Honesty, integrity, kindness, loyalty and diligence have been evident throughout her time with us and will be her lasting legacy,” Stephen said.

“We all wish Keren a wonderful and well-deserved retirement to travel, pursue hobbies and enjoy family and friends.”

Thank you, Mrs Frohloff.

Change your life by learning to play bridge Contributed by Martine Goedhart THE world’s most popular card game is played by more than 220 million people worldwide.

As a social game, bridge is a great way to meet new people, and is probably the only competitive activity that all generations can do together and all have an equal chance of winning.

No matter where you go, you can always make new friends at the bridge table.

It is mentally challenging, a great retirement hobby, something you can share with your life partner, and it offers lots of social interaction with people of all ages and from all walks of life.

It can be played online as well as in a club, is inexpensive, can be enjoyed anywhere in the world and …. it is lots of fun.

Men’s Shed supports buddy bench initiative MEMBERS of the Glasshouse Country Men’s Shed woodworking group recently completed their latest project – a buddy bench handcrafted for Peachester State School.

Men’s Shed member Rick Canhan said that earlier this year the woodworking group had been approached by the office of Member for Glass House Andrew Powell about getting involved with the buddy bench initiative.

“Our guys were really happy to get on board with this project, which is to provide a bench placed within the school grounds that kids can sit on if they want to meet new friends,” Rick said.

“We think this is a great initiative that can also be used by kids that are new to the school, or those wanting company.”

Long-term Men’s Shed members Ian Collingwood and Andy Henry were instrumental in bringing the project to life, sourcing suitable timber and spending many “man hours” making sure the bench was up to their high standards of workmanship.

Ian said initially they couldn’t find the right timber they wanted to make the bench in their onsite storage sheds, so approached Grigor’s sawmill at Peachester.

“We found some great rough sawn blackbutt at the sawmill, and upon finding out what the project was for, the team at the sawmill kindly donated the timber and delivered it to our Beerwah workshop,” Ian said.

“The Grigor family have a long history with Peachester State School and were pleased to support the project.”

Rick said the Glasshouse Country Men’s Shed was a non-profit group of local guys who were always happy to consider community projects.

For more information see their Facebook page www.facebook.com/ghcmshed The Men’s Shed, located at 352 Peachester Road Beerwah, is open Monday-Friday 8.30am-12noon.

The medical profession is only now coming to realise that, as people live longer, remaining mentally fit may be as important as maintaining levels of physical fitness. More and more often chess, bridge and crossword puzzles are being cited as excellent activities for keeping the brain exercised and stalling the onset of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

The best news is that there are bridge clubs here in your area. Our club meets twice a week in the clubhouse of the Beerwah Golf Club.

We have not been able to offer bridge lessons lately because of COVID 19 but by taking care of the hygiene, etc, we are quite confident that it will be safe to start the lessons again.

New lessons start on Tuesday, July 6 at 9.30am. The cost will be $40 for eight lessons. For more information give me a call on 5496 9855 or 0403 220 900.

PLACES and FACES

Rodger Thomson - Tourism Ambassador IF you’ve dropped into the Glass House Mountains Visitor and Interpretive Centre on a Wednesday or called the Visit Sunshine Coast visitor information hotline mid-week, chances are you would have spoken with the amiable Rodger Thomson.

At 88, this sprightly gentleman has no plans to give up his weekly volunteer commitment at the visitor information centres, a position that clearly delights him while also benefitting visitors who can tap into Rodger’s extensive knowledge of the Sunshine Coast and tourism industry.

As well as quite possibly being the oldest volunteer at the information centres, Rodger (who says age is merely a number) is the longest serving ambassador, having started at the Caloundra Centre in May 1994. In recognition of his outstanding dedication to his role, Rodger was nominated in the 2021 Sunshine Coast Volunteer of the

Year Awards in the Sport and Recreation Services Volunteer category at an awards ceremony recently held at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Rodger said he was both flabbergasted and honoured to be recognised, and felt it was something of note even to have been nominated.

“It was a big thrill to be recognised this way. Even after all these years, I still genuinely enjoy helping people get the most of their visit to our region, and it’s lovely to speak with people from different places and give them tips and advice to make it more interesting and worthwhile for them,” Rodger said.

“It’s also great for our local economy and we hope they’ll enjoy their visit so much they’ll return or share their good experience with their friends and family.”

Rodger said working at the Glass House Mountains centre saw a lot of enquiries from visitors about walks and climbs throughout the surrounding mountains.

“Personally, I like to walk. I’m not a climber as age doesn’t allow it.

However, I have always made a point of making myself as knowledgeable as possible about the local tourist experiences whether I have actually done them or not,” Rodger said.

“I love being able to help people plan an enjoyable day out whether that is climbing a local mountain, taking one of the local walking tracks or visiting one of our local sights.”

Rodger said he always had a keen interest in tourism and experiencing new places having worked extensively in the travel industry and been fortunate to travel to every continent except Antarctica.

Visit Sunshine Coast visitor servicing coordinator Beth Mahoney said that you would be hard pressed to find someone more passionate about local tourism than Rodger.

“Rodger is a much-loved member of Team Sunshine Coast and his passion is contagious,” Ms Mahoney said.

“We are so thrilled that his dedication to visitor servicing has been recognised in this year’s Sunshine Coast Volunteer of the Year Awards. It is extremely well deserved.”

Rodger has enjoyed an immensely interesting and culturally rich life,

Rodger and Visit Sunshine Coast visitor servicing coordinator Beth Mahoney and brings his wealth of knowledge and experience, as well as enviable understanding of the local region to every encounter.

“I have always been interested in tourism and even when I first came to the coast in 1977, I made sure I made the most of exploring all parts of the region from Caloundra to Noosa.

“I’m getting closer to falling off the edge, as they say, but I’m not ready to do that yet! Working as a tourist ambassador, meeting people from all over the place and volunteering keeps me young at heart,” Rodger said.

If you are interested in joining Team Sunshine Coast as a volunteer at the Glass House Mountains Visitor and Interpretive Centre, email VSC visitor servicing coordinator Beth Mahoney at beth.mahoney@visitsunshinecoast.com or phone 0458 788 285.

More men encouraged to enjoy libraries

MALENY Library supervisor Amanda Kennedy recently visited the local Men’s Shed to encourage more men to visit the library. The Men’s Shed members already knew about our extensive book collection but they were surprised to find out we offer so much more than books.

John Kent, a member of the Men’s Shed and a regular Maleny Library customer, often visits to explore our range of science books. However, when our friendly staff suggested he might enjoy the Read Now collection it opened his mind to a much wider range of reading and entertainment options!

Like John, some of the Men’s Shed members didn’t know they could reserve items from the library collection, tailored specially to their interests. From westerns to Australian history and magazines for car enthusiasts, science buffs, gardeners or handymen, the library collection is as wide as the open sky. Just ask one of our friendly team members – we can guarantee you’ll find something right up your alley.

As a bonus, he’s also updated his library profile preferences so he’ll never miss the latest science titles or popular additions to the Read Now collection.

Did you know you can also access our eLibrary anytime, from anywhere? The eLibrary is free for library members to enjoy eBooks, magazines, movies, music and more via your smartphone or device. It’s a great resource if you’re on holidays, travelling or working on your next project in the shed.

Vale Russell Thomas Williams

The Sunday Session

TO celebrate the life and service of Maleny man Russell Thomas Williams, family and friends gathered in tranquil bushland at Witta Cemetery on June 2 to remember and give thanks for his life and to “fare-thee-well”.

At 95, Russell was remembered as a husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, best friend and good mate, living a full life as a sailor, farmer, publican, golfer and bridge player.

Born in Newcastle, Russell’s family moved to Sydney in his early years, where he attended school and later worked at the Taxation Office and with his father.

Russell had a love of the sea, which began when he joined the Volunteer Coastal Patrol, patrolling Sydney Harbour on weekends and week nights for enemy submarines. He joined the Royal Australia Navy in 1944.

After World War II he rejoined his father’s commercial laundry business, later buying his own commercial laundry in inner Sydney. It was here he met and married his first wife Thelma and they had three children – Russell, Cheryl and John.

Joining the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club at Pittwater in the 1950s, Russell’s career in sailing began. It wasn’t long before the ocean racing urge got him and he became a helmsman in several Sydney to Hobart Yacht Races from 1953.

In 1959 he built CHERANA, named after his mother Ann and daughter Cheryl, which was launched in time for the Montague Island race, coming third in what was noted as the roughest race on record. CHERANA went on to win the Sydney to Hobart race that year and became second in the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race the following year. CHERANA is still racing.

Russell moved to Brisbane in 1961, purchasing a second commercial laundry business. In 1964 he started building the Fare-Thee-Well, a 40-foot sloop, in an old church he had purchased next door, which had

UNDER a blue sky and in warm sunshine, Beerwah Tower Green came alive recently with music, food, coffee and fun for The Sunday Session.

The event offered locals a fun and relaxed afternoon to meet and learn about groups available in our local community.

Local musicians The Glasshouse Ukes and Chewy Chilli, as well as emerging young performers The Turner Brothers and Rhori Callinan, provided a wonderful diversity of entertainment, covering well known songs to original compositions.

The free community celebration was hosted by several Glasshouse Country groups including Rotary, Landsborough Museum, Beerwah and Glasshouse Mountains Boomerang Bags, Celebrate Glasshouse Country, Beerwah CWA, the Probus Club of Glass House Mountains, Beerburrum School of Arts Hall and Beerwah Lions.

Each group hosted a stall featuring information and stories about who they are, and many were able to have conversations with locals about why they believe they are a valuable part of the community.

The organising groups will meet in coming weeks to discuss whether to host a similar event in the future.

The organisers would like to thank all the performers and everyone who came along and contributed to making it a great afternoon.

ht to be demolished to get the yacht out for launching.

He wanted to sail Fare-TheeWell out of Sydney so sold his Brisbane business and moved back to Sydney in 1965. Here he met Angela who was on a working ng holiday from Ireland.

They both enjoyed sailing Fare-Thee-Well, completing several ocean races including two Sydney to Hobart races. They also spent time sailing the Great Barrier Reef. In 1968 he sold Fare-Thee-Well (which is still racing) and Russell and Angela moved to Robertson in the NSW Southern Highlands, where they bred Murray grey cattle and thoroughbred horses for 20 years.

During that time Russell became a publican, purchasing the Robertson pub, but he continued to crew in many ocean races. Russell’s dream of having a boat at the front of the house came true in 1988 when he and Angela moved to the Gold Coast for seven years.

With farming still in his blood, in 1994 they bought a small farm at Witta, fattening Droughtmaster cattle for 12 years.

Deciding it was time to retire, Russell then in his 80s, they purchased 2.5 acres at Wootha, before moving to the Maleny township in 2017. Russell loved Maleny and the many friends he made there through a shared love of playing golf and bridge.

One of the highlights of Russell’s life came in 2009 when he was invited to fire the starting gun of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race on what was the 50th anniversary of his win.

His wife, Angela, told those attending his service that Russell would have been happy knowing his friends gathered to celebrate his life, as he did always love a party.

Nominations open for Pride of Workmanship awards THE Rotary Club of Maleny will once again host its Pride of Workmanship awards in 2021, with the presentation dinner on Saturday, August 21 at Tranquil Park.

Nominations are open for the service excellence and recognition awards, which give local Maleny businesses, organisations and members of the public the opportunity to celebrate the efforts of individuals in their place of work – either as a paid employee, sole trader, volunteer or even local supplier.

The club’s vocational director, Paulette Steele, said last year’s awards were so well received that the club was keen to host them once again this year.

“One of the great features of the awards was that it wasn’t a traditional competition, with every nominee receiving a plaque at the presentation night, but rather a wonderful way to acknowledge and recognise an individual’s demonstrated pursuit of excellence in work practices,” Paulette said.

“The reason we are so keen to hold it again is because of the joy of seeing people being recognised for the job they do.

“People often don’t get recognised for all the hard work they put in, so this is a way for local businesses and

Club president Greg Williams and member Craig Sim with the nomination form organisations, or even a member of the public, to nominate someone to show that their contribution and service at work has been noticed, appreciated and is highly valued.”

Maleny Rotarians have already hit the streets, approaching local businesses to spread the word and hand out nomination forms. Nominations must be submitted by Saturday, July 31.

For more information visit www.facebook.com/rotaryclubofmaleny or email paulette.steele@gmail.com to request a nomination form.

Mark McKenna in conversation IN October 1934, Bill McKinnon, the sole policeman in the southern Northern Territory, tracked an Aboriginal man towards Uluru over a period of five days, across very rough country.

There had been no rain for some time and water was extremely scarce.

Eventually McKinnon found the man, Yokununna, hiding in a cave under the eaves of the rock. Armed with a pistol McKinnon crawled in after him.

Within moments Yokununna was fatally injured.

Unusually, given the attitudes of the day, serious questions were asked about what happened that morning in the cave, resulting in a Commonwealth investigation.

Mark McKenna, the renowned historian, went to the centre of the continent to continue his exploration of early contact between Indigenous peoples and the white settlers. Almost by accident he stumbled upon this tale which, he came to see, was emblematic of our shared history.

The book he wrote about it, ‘Return to Uluru’ is a fascinating study, part detective novel, part history, a cold case brought to life. At the centre of the story is Uluru, the Rock, the sacred place where paths fatefully converged.

McKenna is the author of several books, including a biography of Manning Clark that won just about every

award a biographyy can in Australia.

He’s coming to Maleny to speak to Steven Lang for Outspoken about ‘Return to Uluru’.

Steven will also introduce author Luke Stegemann, who is no less interesting. His new book, ‘Amnesia Road’, is an extraordinary evocation of early settlement of south-western Queensland, discussed alongside the troubles in Andalusia in southern Spain during the civil war. It is a curious combination that makes for remarkable reading.

On weekends Luke travels extensively around Queensland in his role as a referee on the state amateur boxing circuit.

Visit Pattemore House

FRIENDS of Pattemore House invite you to visit Fairview (Pattemore House) on Saturday, June 26 from 1-4pm.

House and garden tours, and photographic, film and other displays, including a display of tools used for construction, will be available.

Scrumptious homemade afternoon tea and hot soups will be served on the sunny verandahs and you can stock up on homemade jams and pickles too.

The sturdy farmhouse was built in 1907 from white beech timber by brothers Stan, Ernest, William and Albert Pattemore for their parents, Emily and JR Pattemore.

The family came to Maleny in 1906 from Central Tilba, where Emily and JR raised four sons and three daughters.

According to family folklore, the 1902 drought was so severe that the Pattemore family decided to move to a farming area with more reliable rainfall.

ShelterBox on display

Bill and Stan had heard of the lush Blackall Ranges being promoted for its dairying opportunities and by 1906 they were cutting timber there.

Bill began sawmilling in partnership with Maleny fruitgrower ET Thynne, as Thynne and Pattemore’s Mill. Bill and Stan were joined by Ernest and Albert in 1907 and together they built Fairview.

The brothers pit-sawed the timber on the property and hand planed it, making six-inch tongue-and-groove boards with a single beading.

Fairview is significant as one of the few remaining buildings constructed in this way. Hand-sawn floorboards, walls and more have been beautifully preserved.

Fairview is located at 15 Porters Lane.

It has plenty of parking and disabled access. Entry is $5 for adults and children are free.

THE Rotary Club of Maleny, as part of Rotary International, is a global supporter of ShelterBox, a worldwide charity that hand-delivers aid to families devastated by conflict or natural disaster, giving them safe shelter and the tools to rebuild communities.

ShelterBox aid is tailored to meets the needs of a community after a specific disaster in the form of ShelterBoxes and ShelterKits.

ShelterBoxes contain family-sized tents specially designed to withstand the elements and provide people with temporary shelter until they can start the process of rebuilding a home.

ShelterKits contain all the essential tools people need to start repairing and rebuilding homes straight away.

The kits and boxes also contain items that help transform a shelter into a home such as cooking sets, solar lights and activity sets for children.

To see what an erected ShelterBox looks like, Maleny Rotary members will have one set up for display on the grassy area between Peace of Green Gallery and Maleny Realty, 38-44 Maple Street on Sunday, June 27, from 8.30am. They would love you to drop by and take a look.

Celebrating Under 8s in 2021 Emu Gully camp fun!

HINTERLAND

Contributed by Kylie Merola

families

YEAR 5 and 6 students from Landsborough State School recently participated in a three-day camp at Emu Gully in Helidon. The camp program provided an authentic adventure experience that helped the students develop resilience, build their individual character and enhance their leadership and teamwork abilities.

BEERWAH State School celebrated under 8s this year with a simple and natural celebration of what they often get to do every day – outdoor learning and play.

Many families joined the school as it celebrated with a series of mini events that kicked off with adventuring to the outdoor classroom chanting all the way: “We’re going on a bear hunt, we’re going to catch a big one, I’M NOT SCARED!” The students were entertained and their imaginations brought to life with a presentation by the school’s early years teachers of ‘I’m Not a Stick’ written

by Antoinette Portis. The response was lots of laughter and creating with lots of sticks.

Students in years 1, 2, 3 and 4 followed the next day with traditional tales, outdoor games and bush craft.

Outdoor huts to tiny teepees were created and decorated by some innovative and motivated families along with some impressive tree climbing.

Lots of learning and much joy was experienced as the school community gathered to celebrate its little people.

Do you

Each activity was like a hands-on history lesson, connecting students to our proud heritage, and students appreciated the real-life stories behind each challenge.

Highlights from the camp included the Kokoda mud course and the flour bomb finale.

After an action-packed three days, students returned from camp tired but happy. They made lifelong memories and learnt skills that they will carry with them for life.

Camp activities were based on historical conflict events including World War I, World War II and Vietnam, with a strong focus on the core national values of courage, mateship, sacrifice and perseverance.

Kandoo Joeys - Reconciliation Week THE Kandoo Joeys at Beerwah State School recently embraced Reconciliation Week by reading a traditional dreamtime story, dot painting and making boomerangs out of playdough.

The children listened to a traditional Aboriginal story ‘How the kangaroos got their tails’, told by George Mung Mung Lirrmiyarri, and compiled by Pamela Lofts. They then put tails on their kangaroos using playdough and made playdough homes for families.

To finish off Messy Play May the child children participated in a sensory ex experience with ccoloured spaghetti, ssquishing and ssquashing it in ttheir fingers, and, ffor a total bodily eexperience, ccrawling through it!

The morning was complete when artwork was compiled to create a collaborative piece to showcase everyone’s artwork.

Come and join the fun at Kandoo Joeys Playgroup each Thursday morning from 9-11am at Beerwah State School during school term time. Kandoo Joeys is open to all families with before-school aged children.

June Wimberley turns 90

Birthday celebration

By Sonia Isaacs Clark LONG-term Beerwah residents would be familiar with the Wimberley family name and their longstanding connection to the retail growth of the area.

Recently celebrating her 90th birthday, June Wimberley is as switched on and sprightly as ever, and generously shares wonderful recollections of her 67 years in Beerwah, her family life and numerous business ventures, including her shoe shop Beerwah Shoes that she managed with Cristina Collins until she retired at 76.

June Cobb was born June 8, 1931 at Muttaburra in central Queensland before moving to Caloundra with her family when she was five. June was the second youngest of five children.

June said she grew up and lived at Caloundra until she met and married Randall Wimberley and the couple relocated to Beerwah, where Randall along with his brother Noel worked in the Wimberly family grocery, drapery and hardware business located in Simpson Street.

June said she first met Randall at the Queen’s Coronation Ball held at Glideaway Hall Caloundra on June 2, 1953. She said she certainly thought Randall was “a good sort” when she first laid eyes on him. However, she politely declined his offer of a lift home on his Vespa that night, instead arranging to meet a few weeks later at a dance at Eudlo Hall.

“The second time we met was at the dance to mark the Eudlo Hall renovations, and this time he turned up with his nice car, which was a Morris Minor, so I was happy to have him drive me home and the rest, as they say, is history! We courted for around ten months before getting married on April 19, 1954,” June said.

Following their marriage, June and Randall moved to Beerwah and had a home built on Simpson Street. The couple had three children – Paul, Jeff and Mary-Lou. June said Beerwah was a great place to be, and she and Randall enjoyed bringing up their family and being involved in various social clubs and activities.

“When we first moved here we got really involved with the local tennis club, which had three courts at the Beerwah Sportsground, and it was a very social and active group.

“Later in the 1960s we became interested in golf, which we played until around 1976 when we took up photography.”

June remembers a strong local community spirit where everyone knew everyone else in town. She said people would always get together and if something needed to be done, the community would get behind it.

When the community wanted a golf club in the late 1960s, the locals got together and fundraised for the building that was built by volunteers.

From 1976 until 1992, June and Randall enjoyed belonging to a local photography group that was part of the Australian Photographic Society. June said they enjoyed many outings and excursions, and travelled around the country and overseas with June’s photography skills being acknowledged nationally and internationally.

Randall’s health began to decline in 1992 and he died in 1996.

June found a new interest in gardening and, in particular, became fascinated by the endangered Richmond birdwing butterfly, committing herself to create a garden that would allow butterflies to thrive.

“I planted my first birdwing butterfly vine in 1994 and then later closed in my front lawn to create a garden full of host plants,” June said.

“For the past 27 years I’ve kept myself fit and happy with gardening, which has also proved to be a great hobby that has kept me inspired and brought me a lot of joy over the years.”

June has recently decided to put her name down for a villa at Glasshouse Views. In the meantime, she will remain in the same family home she has lived in for the past 67 years.

hinterland HERITAGE

A GROUP of ladies, who meet at The Coffee Club Beerwah on Mondays for morning tea and at Vianta Café on Saturday mornings, recently had an extra reason to celebrate.

June Wimberley was celebrating her 90th birthday with family and friends the following day but the ladies were keen to mark the occasion of a woman that they clearly admire.

Michele Blong, from The Coffee Club, presented June with a generous piece of chocolate birthday cake with just the one candle for an impromptu performance of ‘Happy Birthday’.

Michele said they were a lovely group of ladies, with sometimes as many as 13 coming in on a Monday morning.

Interest in local area history ignited via facebook WHEN it comes to igniting interest in the history of our local towns and surrounding areas, social media platforms such as Facebook can be a wonderful tool to increase engagement and provide an accessible link to the past that appeals to all ages.

By sharing stories and photographs of our local towns and their history, a sense of pride in our past

Beerwah in the 1950s Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

can be celebrated, conversations sparked, memories triggered and community connections made, re-established or, in many cases, deepened.

Beerwah local Darren Howard has recently launched a local community history Facebook page for Beerwah and the surrounding area called ‘Beerwah and District memories of times past’. Darren comes from four generations of family living in the area and said he wanted to make sure that pioneers and older residents’ stories and the history of the town wouldn’t be forgotten.

“I started this site to try to create some interest in the history of our Beerwah town and area. I personally have heaps of photos, and my aim was to get other people of the town involved, and build some knowledge of what it was like in Beerwah many years ago, before it started to change rapidly,” Darren said.

Beerwah and the surrounding area hold a lot of intertwined and interesting family histories, and Darren is keen to raise awareness about the many families who worked very hard to transform the area from a bushcovered place to a farming and saw milling district that

had its own identity as a productive area.

Darren said many newer residents have no sense of the past that existed here, and the history behind the names of streets and places from the origins of the names.

“I feel it is especially important that younger people need to see what was there before and understand how the place developed and have some sense of respect for the great place it was and still can be,” Darren said.

This sentiment is shared by many longer term and older residents as well as those who are keen to capture and preserve aspects of our shared history and connection to place.

Throughout our local area there are several community history pages well worth checking out including: www.facebook.com/Beerwah-and-Districtmemories-of-times-past-102259015424982 www.facebook.com/GlasshousehistorygroupInc www.facebook.com/malenyhistoricalmemories www.facebook.com/MooloolahHistory www.facebook.com/PeachesterHistoryCommittee 27

TAX

Cryptocurrency under the microscope this tax time THE Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is concerned that many taxpayers believe their cryptocurrency gains are tax free or only taxable when the holdings are cashed back into Australian dollars.

ATO data analysis shows a dramatic increase in trading since the beginning of 2020. It is estimated more than 600,000 taxpayers have invested in cryptoassets in recent years.

ATO assistant commissioner Tim Loh said that this year the ATO would write to about 100,000 taxpayers with cryptocurrency assets explaining their tax obligations and urging them to review their previously lodged returns.

“We also expect to prompt almost 300,000 taxpayers as they lodge their 2021 tax return to report their cryptocurrency capital gains or losses,” Mr Loh said.

Last year, the ATO directly contacted about 100,000 taxpayers who had traded in cryptocurrency and prompted 140,000 taxpayers at lodgement.

The gains from cryptocurrency are similar to gains from other investments such as shares. Generally, as an investor, if you buy, sell, swap for fiat currency, or exchange one cryptocurrency for another, it will be subject to capital gains tax (CGT) and must be reported. CGT also applies to the disposal of nonfungible tokens (NFTs).

The ATO is alarmed that some taxpayers think that the anonymity of cryptocurrencies provides a licence to ignore tax obligations.

While it appears that cryptocurrency operates in an anonymous digital world, the ATO closely tracks where it interacts with the real world through data from

banks, financial institutions and cryptocurrency online exchanges to follow the money back to the taxpayer.

“The best tip to nail your cryptocurrency gains and losses is to keep accurate records, including dates of transactions, the value in Australian dollars at the time of the transactions, what the transactions were for, and who the other party was, even if it’s just their wallet address,” Mr Loh said.

Businesses or sole traders paid cryptocurrency for goods or services will have these payments taxed as income based on the value of the cryptocurrency in Australian dollars.

Holding a cryptocurrency for at least 12 months as an investment may mean you are entitled to a CGT discount if you have made a capital gain. In limited circumstances cryptocurrency may be a personal use asset.

“If you realise you’ve made a mistake and correct your return, we will significantly reduce penalties.

However, failing to report on crypto-assets and not taking action when reminded will prompt penalties and potentially an audit,” Mr Loh said.

The ATO has created a cryptocurrency factsheet with tips and information on how capital gains tax applies to cryptocurrency that you can search for on the ATO website at www.ato.gov.au

Still working from home on the kitchen bench?

THE Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is reminding those who work from home that the temporary shortcut method is available to those claiming working from home deductions this year.

The temporary shortcut method was created at the height of the COVID pandemic last year in response to the sudden influx of makeshift home workspaces.

ATO assistant commissioner Tim Loh said that even with people going back to the office, many Australians had opted to continue working from home at least one day a week.

The working from home shortcut method allows claims at the all-inclusive rate of 80 cents per hour, rather than needing to do complex calculations for specific items.

“The shortcut method is straightforward. Just multiply the hours worked at home by 80 cents,” Mr Loh said.

“The only proof you need is a record of the number of hours you’ve worked from home, such as a timesheet.”

The temporary shortcut method can be claimed by multiple people living under the same roof and, unlike existing methods, does not require a dedicated work area.

The shortcut is all-inclusive. You can’t claim the shortcut and then claim for individual expenses such as telephone and internet costs and the decline in value of new office furniture or a laptop.

Taxpayers can still claim under the existing arrangements if they prefer.

As the����� financial year has drawn to a close, it’s the perfect time for you to take stock and evaluate whether your current SMSF administrator is right for you.

Hinterland Accounting Services welcomes Danielle Booth to the partnership team

By Lea Parkes THREE years after Melissa Jones and Brett and Dee Piercy took over Hinterland Accounting Services, based in Beerwah, the business continues to grow and evolve in response to current and future needs of both local businesses and the community.

We caught up with the team recently to hear about some of the exciting changes, that are getting a big thumbs up from their clients.

The big news is that after nine years working in the business and 20 years in the accounting industry Danielle Booth has become a business partner.

Melissa said that while the entire team was welcoming and helpful when they took over the business, Danielle had gone above and beyond in helping them not only to get to know the clients but also guiding them on where and when changes could be introduced.

“Danielle has been an integral part of the practice since it was established in 2012. With her extensive knowledge of the business and her close, strong relationships with clients, she has shown what a tremendous asset she is for the business,” Melissa said.

Having lived her whole life in the local area, attending Landsborough State School and Beerwah High School, Danielle also brings a unique understanding and knowledge of the local area that only a true local could provide to the team.

Danielle’s clients, who know what a dedicated and loyal worker she is and how practical she is with her no-nonsense approach to challenges, have given an

Melissa Jones, Danielle Booth with Brett Piercy overwhelmingly positive response to the news.

Teresa Harrison from Smartline Personal Mortgage Advisors is just one of the many local business operators who said what a great move it was for Hinterland Accounting Service to make Danielle a partner.

“We are very happy Danielle has decided to become a partner of Hinterland Accounting Services. We have found her to be such an important part of their business,” Teresa said.

“I have found Danielle to always be professional and up to date with the running of the business, and she is a huge reason why we don’t hesitate to recommend their services to both friends and clients.”

The Hinterland Accounting Services team also decided it was time for a fresh new look and are currently introducing new corporate colours, a

5 QUESTIONS ANSWERED FOR TAX TIME 1. I went to a trade show

when I was in Sydney, can I claim the trip?

As we get ready for another busy tax season, we get many questions regarding the rules and traps when claiming tax deductions in your personal tax return. Be aware that the ATO continues to use data matching to pick out individual returns where the claims seem out of line with others in their industry or occupation. Here are five common questions we get asked…

2. I frequently buy gifts for my 3. I need to maintain a level

You may claim a percentage of the airfares, meals and accommodation if you can show that the professional skills that you achieve from the trade show may directly help you to advance your career or gain a promotion. The ATO will want you to show how the trade show is connected to increasing your income.

fellow staff to improve morale, is this deductible?

Unfortunately, the Tax Office is now taking a hard line on gifts (ie. birthday presents, meals, and rewards) provided by you if you are an employee. The ATO think that this might benefit your fellow employees but it’s not necessary for you to earn your salary.

new logo and a slight name change to Hinterland Accountants & Advisors.

Brett said the new name better reflected the business’s people-centric approach.

“We are more than just transactional accountants.

We are invested in your success and livelihood,” Brett said.

“Our new logo conveys the friendly, firm and balanced relationships we seek to develop with every client, being the sounding board to offer advice on financial solutions that are always in the best interest of your goals and livelihood.”

To see their new colours, logo and business name take a look at the ad below or take a drive past their office in Turner Street to see the dramatic new wrap around the building.

of fitness for my job. Can I claim the cost of fitness equipment?

Fitness equipment may be deductible if the fitness is a specific requirement of your occupation or trade (ie. fitness instructor). In a recent case involving a Naval Officer the Tax Office was successful in denying the deduction because the decision to buy the gym equipment was the taxpayer’s choice and not a requirement of his employment.

4. I drive to work each day and 5. I claimed the $10,000 COVID carry my tools? Can I claim my travel to and from work?

relief payment from my Super Fund, do I have to pay it back?

You may be able to claim travel to and from your place of work if you are required to carry heavy and bulky tools of trade and there is no safe and secure place at the worksite to store those tools.

Recently the ATO won a case against a taxpayer who’s employer did not back up the taxpayer’s facts. The bottom line is to make sure you know what your employer might say so that you can be confident that your claim will be allowed if subject to an audit.

We know that the Tax Office is targeting taxpayers who withdrew up to the $10,000 limit from their Super during the COVID period and may only ask you to pay it back if the Tax Office believe that you didn’t meet all the conditions of the early release. One of these conditions is if you were made redundant or had a significant reduction in your hours during the period. You should contact us if you have concerns or if you received a letter from the Tax Office.

We are here to ensure that you get the best outcome when you lodge your tax return without putting you at risk of an ATO review. The ATO has so much information at its fingertips now and it is important to be able support your claims with evidence of payment and by showing how the expense is a necessary part of your occupation or trade.

YOU Thanks for your support

On Sunday, May 30 the inaugural Beerwah Colour Stampede at Beerwah Sportsground was successfully run.

It was a fantastic event with smiles in abundance.

There was colour aplenty, inflatables, foam, slip and slide, bush trekking, stalls, families and volunteers.

We couldn’t be prouder of the event that was produced and are so thankful to all in our community who came out to support us, including those that ran and especially those that volunteered to make the day such a successful fundraiser for Beerwah Kindy.

This was all made possible with generation donations (monetary and supplies) from local businesses.

Please support those who support our local community by checking out our sponsors anytime you need their services. We truly are so thankful to Beerwah Sportsground and staff who made their grounds available to us, and our major sponsor Quinn and Son Services who offer a range of lawn and

In regard to the article in GC&M News (May 25), it confounds me that in the 21st century we have road works such as the interchange over the Bruce Highway to Caloundra Road with all the other associated entries and exits.

One billion dollars later we have traffic lights and no less than three merges to the north of the interchange.

The engineers who designed this interchange are still living in the 1930s, what a mess. Just wait for the festive season and you will witness traffic congestion like you have never seen before to the point that traffic on the Bruce Highway will frequently come to a halt.

Just look at projects around the world, China, Europe and the USA. I recall travelling on the turnpike in Miami Florida and the autobarns in Germany – road works with enormous interchanges. I don’t say they are always beautiful structures but they do allow free flowing traffic. Our interchange should have been an overpass from Steve Irwin Way to Caloundra Road with merging lanes either under or over the appropriate overpasses/underpasses.

The article entitled ‘Bruce Highway expansion’ was of interest in that it deals with the continuing saga of road works as compared to our rail network.

I have been a resident of the Sunshine Coast for over 35 years and the railway is still a bloody mess. I doubt if I will ever see any improvements in my lifetime.

I suggested sometime ago that the railway crossing at Mooloolah could be removed if the line was “downgraded”.

I meant put the rail line down into the ground at Mooloolah so the trains would travel under the level of the existing crossing. There is enough room there to continue with the dual rail plan as well. The same could be said for other existing crossings all along

the line. Just look how Beerwah has been cut in half.

I agree with the lady’s suggestion that there should be more contact by project managers with affected citizenry and, of course, rail is just as important as highways.

Re: Clarrie

First, I hope Clarrie heals quickly.

We are the ones who cleared the trees for our homes thus removing the roos’ homes and all other native animals’ homes. What are the authorities expected to do, put up a fence around all the houses, or just shoot the roos?

We must learn to live with these animals and not think that we are so precious.

This issue is not going to get any better with all the city folk moving up here for their tree change/COVID escape.

Educate ourselves and our children about nature. I have lived in the country all my life and think it’s an honour to have such beautiful creatures in our backyard. Have a look at other countries and see how lucky you are.

Aesthetic appeal?

Each time I travel to Maleny I glance at the construction of the new fire station.

I think it’s going to have as much aesthetic appeal as the new Maleny police station.

Stuff of nightmares

I have deep sympathy for Beerwah’s Clarrie Schefe (GC&M News, June 8), whose injuries could easily have been far more serious. Being attacked, without provocation, by a kangaroo in your own backyard is the stuff of nightmares.

However, I can also understand the reluctance of council officers to do anything.

Glasshouse Country & Maleny News

Wildlife habitats in our district are shrinking at an alarming rate, so these animals (and many others, such as flying foxes) have little choice but to settle alongside the ever-expanding suburbia, with all its threats to them.

Their concentrated population in scattered locations gives some people the false impression of healthy numbers.

We all know how Skippy Park got its name but when were kangaroos last seen there? Increased competition in dwindling territory, especially among males for females, raises their levels of aggression.

There’s nowhere left to move these animals, which would be a difficult and dangerous task anyway, while culling them will only speed up their local extinction. A sad lose-lose situation but the inevitable price of development.

Re: Voluntary Assisted Dying laws

Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) is an emotional issue and especially for those of us touched by personal circumstance as shared by Mr Jason Hunt MP (GC&M News, June 8).

I thank Mr Andrew Powell MP for sharing with his constituents the challenging conflict he feels between his personal position against VAD and the position in favour held by the majority of his constituents. I would suggest that he does, as other MPs faced with his dilemma have done in the past, abstain from voting.

This law is voluntary, it has many safeguards and it reflects a compassionate society.

Dr Craig Glasby Vice president Dying with Dignity Qld Andrew Powell MP ought to be aware that his Christian views should not be a barrier to him voting ‘yes’ for the bill on Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD).

In fact, the majority of Christians support VAD, with even 60% of practising Catholics in Queensland doing so, in accordance with our independent professional polling.

Even church leaders such as the former Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey supports VAD. More locally, Uniting Church elder Everald Compton AM vigorously supports and advocates for VAD. Mr Powell also ought to understand that this is not a choice between life and death.

The verdict of death has been delivered by the disease. It is a choice between intolerable suffering and a dignified death.

It is good that Mr Powell knows that his constituents support VAD. I urge him not to stand in their way.

The bill gives his constituents choice.

If he can’t join the majority of Christians who support this bill, he should at the very least abstain in his vote.

Otherwise he is denying his constituents choice.

ELECTED Scone Time

ANOTHER highly successful Scone Time was recently held at Bankfoot House. Local legend Martin Duncan and his team bring people together around local homemade food, history and music.

Martin created Scone Time to help combat loneliness in the senior population of the Sunshine Coast and his events go from strength to strength, pulling in more guests each time. It also helps that his scones are absolutely delicious.

Wandi Nerida launch

This month finally brought about the official opening of Wandi Nerida – Australia’s first residential recovery centre for people affected by eating disorders. It was great to hear chair Anne Doherty and endED founder Mark Forbes speak about the facility and how it will change young lives on the coast.

It’s been a long time in the making but seeing this facility finally throw open its doors to the community was exciting.

Elimbah teacher farewelled

Thank you Mrs Mulholland!

Generations of Queensland kids have been taught by Liz Mulholland at Moranbah, Bribie Island, Tullawong and (for the past 23 years) at Elimbah State School. How do you say thank you for such service? Well, cake and chocolates were a good start at her farewell morning tea but a rare Brisbane mallee eucalyptus was also very fitting for this one-of-akind teacher. Liz planted the tree at the Elimbah sports grounds with a couple of students. It was a very special day. She’s left some big shoes to fill!

National Reconciliation Week

Earlier in the month I attended a beautiful program and lunch at Crystal Waters Eco Village for National Reconciliation Week.

It was particularly enlightening to hear from Jinibara Elder BJ Murphy, who has so many lived experiences to share, and Maleny local Adrian Anderson, who has worked for many years with the Indigenous community of Cherbourg.

representatives

I’M pleased to let you know the skate park at Mooloolah Recreation Reserve has re-opened for skaters, bikers and scooter riders to enjoy once again. You might have noticed it was closed for a week while we undertook much needed refurbishment works. The skate park received a pressure wash to remove the graffiti and the concrete sections were repainted and sealed. I hope the revamp is welcomed by the skating community and they’re back practising their kickflips and airs.

Glenview Road construction under way

It’s great to see construction works moving along on the Glenview Road upgrade with stage four works between Tolson Road and Evans Road nearing completion. There’s only some minor works left to do on this section.

Meanwhile, construction has started on stage three, which runs east from Evans Grove Road for 400m. Works include alterations to Telstra and nbn services, reconstruction of the road pavement increasing the road width to 7m, lowering the road level at the crest, alterations to driveways to suit the new road level and more.

with Winston Johnston

Division 5 Sunshine Coast Council Access to properties will remain open throughout the construction period. The construction is expected to wrap up in August depending on weather and site conditions. I appreciate your patience during this time and hope the works don’t inconvenience too many locals.

Making a racquet in Montville

I recently attended the official opening of the Montville Tennis Club’s new clubhouse and would like to congratulate all involved. The club was first built in 1925 on an old pineapple farm and has since grown from a handful of hitters to almost 90 members. The new facility was almost entirely community funded along with grant funding from council and the state government. The new makeover is a smash for tennis lovers and I hope the new synthetic surfaces serve up aces!

Landsborough Students SHINE LANDSBOROUGH State School’s year 6 girls this term participated in the SHINE program, which is a unique personal development program for girls.

The program takes the participants on a journey towards ‘Worth, Strength and Purpose’ and along the way each girl creates a ‘Dream Board’.

School chaplain Linda Whysall has successfully run the program at Landsborough State School for many years and is extremely proud to see the journey of personal growth in each girl.

She said SHINE aims to support and encourage each individual to embrace, explore and strive towardss their own

personal potential, making positive and informed decisions, for the benefit of their own future.

“We talked about how the seeds of greatness lie within each girl and how they have amazing potential for an outstanding future,” Chappy Linda said.

“We talked about what choices we need to make to see the future we want, who can help us get there, and what the ‘Dream Stealers’ can be, and the importance of having dreams.”

The SHINE program concluded with a high tea celebration for this special group of young ladies. Everyone was born to SHIN SHINE!

Therapy dog at high school NEW staff member, Maggie May, has been welcomed to Beerwah State High School. She is described as having a wet nose, wagging tail and a very happy personality.

The 18-month-old Border Collie X is very popular with students and staff, and clearly loves her new job.

Maggie is striving to graduate as a qualified therapy dog through Therapy Dogs Australia by the end of this year and will stay at Beerwah High after her graduation.

Her specialised role within the school is to support student and staff wellbeing, engagement and community connection.

Maggie truly loves her work and this shows on her smiling face, her love of pats and tummy rubs, and her enthusiasm for lunchtime ball play.

She’s even beginning to round up the students when the bell rings, ensuring they arrive at class on time!

Jobs for the yard in July • • • • •

• TOP up the mulch around fruit trees.

Clean out your compost bin and spread the contents under your fruit trees, then start another bin.

• Feed your citrus trees. Use 125g of citrus tree fertiliser per year of the tree’s age, up to 1.25kg. You need to do this three times a year – July, November and February.

• Plant rhubarb now, either as crowns or small punnet plants.

• Lift dahlia tubers and store in sawdust.

• It’s a good time to transplant existing rose bushes to another spot in the garden if you need to.

• Cut back the time between watering for indoor plants to prevent mould and mildew growing.

• Treat your lawn for bindii as soon as it appears. Any of the broadleaf lawn

herbicides that are bindii and clover killers will do.

Prune roses to stimulate new growth and flowering for spring.

Take frangipani cuttings. Leave them for two weeks before planting.

Plant potatoes, sweet potatoes and shallots.

Give your cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli a boost and feed them some sulphate of ammonia.

Prune roses to stimulate new growth and flowering for spring. Oldfashioned roses only need unsightly and dead branches removed. Climbers need to be pruned after they flower in spring (… so not yet). Modern bush and standard roses are pruned fairly hard each July. Cut the water suckers to the ground (shooting from below the union).

garden Vegetables

Plant asparagus, broad beans, peas, beans, parsnip, rhubarb, English spinach, silverbeet, zucchini, potatoes, carrot, kohlrabi, lettuce, radish, spring onion, turnip, beetroot, broccoli, cabbage, capsicum, celery, garlic, leeks, swede, sweet potato and tomato.

New premises for Clinton McArthur Plumbing LOCAL plumbing business Clinton McArthur Plumbing is excited about the move into their newly built premises in Landsborough. Owner Clinton McArthur is thrilled to finally be in the premises, which has been on the cards for more than a year, saying it is an exciting time for the growth of his local business.

Previously based at his Beerwah home, Clinton said that while the steady growth of his business meant there was plenty of work to grow his team, there simply wasn’t the room to

expand the business. Until now. And he’s excited about what’s to come.

Clinton McArthur Plumbing has been operating in the hinterland and throughout the Sunshine Coast for more than ten years. During that time it has built a strong reputation for providing excellent service and trade experience.

With team members Brent and Jamie, they offer a wide range of plumbing services, including – but not limited to – blocked drains, hot water system replacement, leaking taps and burst water pipes.

Thankfully, for those emergency issues (because we all have them!) the friendly team are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. With a fully equipped mobile fleet, the team uses modern equipment and technologies to diagnose, repair or replace with quality materials, meaning your problem plumbing will be sorted in no time.

Offering no call-out fee, meaning you won’t be charged until you have given the go-ahead, and free quotes, Clinton McArthur Plumbing is the local team you can call for all your plumbing needs.

Pretty Mia is looking for a very special home, ith other th animals i l or she just doesn’t cope well with busy homes, or with children. She’d love a place where she is free to do her own thing and can ask for attention when she is ready. Mia does enjoy attention but can only handle it in small doses and seeks it out on her own terms.

Mia’s new family need to be understanding of her nature and allow her to co-exist in the house. Because Mia can be fickle, we don’t recommend her for homes with young children or the elderly.

She is very much a lounge lizard and will quite happily snooze the day away on your lap if you let her. She is quite strong so she will need someone who is physically fit to take her on her daily walks. Milly has lived with children before but has never lived with a cat or another dog. You’ll need secure 6ft fencing to keep her safely at home. With all her vet work completed, Milly is keen to pack her bags and leave for her new home today.

Your love of luxuries can occasionally run over budget and right now you’re probably picking up the tab for either your own or someone else’s enthusiasm. And there’s nothing like financial problems to test a relationship. At work, should an unexpected change lead to new territory don’t fret. Just don’t take short cuts.

Why is it that you always seem to want the reverse of what’s offered Leo? When thrown into the limelight, you want quiet.

When left alone, you want to be included.

Either way, you take to authority like a wild cat, so heaven help those who push their case beyond reason. This week there’s too much to be done in too little time.

Playing the perpetual peacemaker can sometimes leave you wondering about the myth of give-and-take. This week your more indefatigable edge works to your benefit. Some may still openly disagree with your values and ideals, while others simply refuse to accept your ideas. Ignore their jibes and go about your own business.

You can’t please all the people all of the time Libra. Maybe the solution is to pick your moment but there’s still one small problem – some individuals simply can’t be pleased at all, despite your best efforts. Perhaps you’re better off directing your energies elsewhere. The last few days concentrate on money and self-image.

If I say there’s change on the way, don’t run. While things may be flowing a tad too swiftly for your liking, you’ll soon get the hang of it. Perhaps you’re being asked to retrain, or take an unexpected detour?

Whatever happens, know that the heavens are steering you in the right direction. Follow your dreams Scorpio.

Conflicts have chipped away at many Sagittarian egos. Not this week, when you can mostly look forward to a few rewarding days. No longer prepared to concede defeat will see you on the attack rather than merely safeguarding. You’re also better able to shape small details into a larger picture and intuitively make the right choices.

You need closure, which, under normal circumstances, may cause tension but now feels welcoming. Maybe it’s because you’re more forgiving. Maybe it’s because others are forgiving you or are sincerely sorry. Whatever the case, happiness is on the increase that, in turn, can’t help but spill over into love and friendship.

Jupiter asks you to sort out your finances once and for all, so you now have to be totally focussed on work and money in order to thrive. The upside: a possible promotion or cash bonus but stash any extra cash and you may just gain yourself a reprieve. Love brings surprises, with romance possibly being secretive.

Rest is pretty much out of the question this week. Demanding work schedules put a stop to fun but the financial rewards should more than make up for it. At best, you’ll squeeze in a short-lived flirtation.

That should let off some steam. If selfdiscipline is one of your life lessons, you’re a strong candidate for the repeat class right now.

When on the attack, most Ariens fire first and ask questions later. Sometimes you can be too quick off the mark. This week check all facts before marching into battle as someone could be planning an ambush.

Unstable relationships may fall, new romance looks set to flourish – great news if you’re back on the singles scene.

Love sidles closer this week and it’s unlikely to be a tame entanglement.

What’s more, the attraction should be mutual, with no end to the emotions you can explore. The professional pace?

Equally active. Fortunately, few can handle creative challenges better than you.

It’s a week to rid yourself of restrictions, especially regarding lacklustre romance or being stuck in a dead-end job.

The cosmos allows you to discard emotional or physical baggage that block you from taking action. Do this and new opportunities will start to appear. You can make the best of your unique talents.

If you’re feeling restless or drumming your fingers for action, a happier Venus should supply it. In other words, you have planetary permission to prosper and enjoy. This extends to romance too. An irresistible magnetism keeps love on its toes, so don’t be surprised if someone’s eager to grab your exclusive attention.

When those around you find their affairs riddled with complications, lucky lions will be purring with contentment. But beware. Mars is running riot in your sector of self-confidence and eager to brag about your triumphs, so it’s best to keep your most delicious secrets to yourself. Truth is, others are just a tad jealous.

There’s a confident energy to the week and very little will escape your attention. If teamwork is required there’s no better time for presenting new ideas. Even so, timing is important. Don’t force issues until all signals say go – some things are worth the wait. Late week brings another kind of joy – the romantic kind.

Many Librans feel daunted by the unfamiliar. It’s all right – you just need to know what you’re dealing with. Nobody knows it all but we all know something.

Sometimes you underestimate your experience until you meet people totally new to the game. Only then do you realise what a wealth of knowledge you really have.

After recent dramas, it would be wise to pack a suitcase and take a break from life’s apparent urgencies. Postpone stressful appointments. Everything and everyone can wait as you let self-pampering take priority.

It’s also a week of less hurried romantic prospects. Enjoy the pleasures of a slower, more tender touch.

Your mind’s racing and your pulse is pacing. There are a million things to do with each one vying for prime position.

Fortunately, this week is feeling energetic.

Sure, there’ll be some challenging moments but you’re primed to set off a reaction that holds the promise of pleasure and prosperity.

If this brings in extra cash spend it. Guilt free.

Recent times have been dramatic.

You may have felt fragmented or out of control. Sometimes, though, it takes adversity to force a reshuffle. When you refuse to instigate change the cosmos will do it for you. Jupiter encourages new studies, Venus revives friendships, while Mercury pushes for material and financial gain.

The Sun is in your sixth house of work and success, which could bring a pageturning moment to your professional life.

So, get down to business Aquarius. Where do you want to be in five or ten years? Plant the seeds for future growth, perhaps even enlisting a mentor or life coach to help you in the process.

With romance all but unavoidable, singles could find that special soul mate and couples rediscover the initial fascination.

If love has been marred by problems, put misgivings in the past tense. Bottom line: whether single or settled you now crave a sense of belonging. So, stash away that workload Pisces. This week love takes priority.

It’s ridiculous for you to belittle yourself when there are so many people who look up to you. A quick glance at your astrological chart suggests that overloaded emotions are at fault. There’s so much happening but people genuinely admire you and your work. If they can see how great you are, why can’t you?

This week’s message is to take a step back to acknowledge your innermost feelings. Preoccupied with many of today’s distractions, we often lose ourselves for long periods. Agitation follows. To avoid feeling pressured or stressed, you must learn to trust your innate intuition. Calmness and true selfreflection are required.

This week’s nebulous pairing of Neptune and Mercury may bring misunderstandings based on hypersensitivity or, perhaps, untruths. Expect mix-ups.

Yet this can also be a time of empathetic conversations that can lift spirits and heal wounds. So much depends on your frame of mind and willingness to trust your intuition.

JUST FOR LAUGHS Why English is hard to learn We’ll begin with box, the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox is oxen not oxes One fowl is a goose and two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose is never call meese.

You may find a lone mouse, or a house full of mice, But the plural of house is houses, not hice.

The plural of man is always men, But the plural of pan is never pen.
