Eumundi’s fifth Australian Body Art Carnivale ‘Under the Sea’

kicks off this weekend.Saturday will see a cavalcade

of fabulous marine-inspired designs transform our town into an underwater wonderland during two days of body and face painting competitions.

We’ll watch as these unique art forms are created, alongside the funky wearable art contest which has many young designers from local TAFEs competing.

This year also sees the inclusion of a new workshop to get our youngest artists involved (see All Dolled Up on page 11 to find out more).

Head to the Eumundi Amphitheatre (between the two car parks) to join in. All visitor entry is free.

Eumundi’s Air Marshal Geoff Shepherd AO (RTD) gave the major address emphasising the importance to “support soldiers every day, not just on this special day.”

Community Diary

Our street was aptly named by Jim Rafter back in the ‘90s because from anywhere along our beautiful tree-lined

street, with its poincianas and big old mango trees, we can view Mt Eerwah as it stretches towards Kenilworth. And then, like many other Eumundi streets, we have our perfect view of Cooroy Mountain, beyond to Black Mountain and the Blackall Ranges – some of us can see the Glass House Mountains.

Yes, we see sunrises and are inspired by spectacular sunsets and brilliant “light shows” on stormy nights.

Although we are a very quiet street (a no-through road) with only six residential properties, the street is a magnet to neighbours and dog-walking friends for “catch up” in the evenings, especially in summer time.

We are a great mix of people who help each other and share regular social good times. We have a new family with a small child, which will add a new fun dimension to the street.

Other regular visitors include; a family of wallabies, many brush turkeys, courting wood ducks, and the chorus of squawking, laughing, chattering, whip cracking and twittering winged friends.

We are so fortunate to have found this special street way back in the early ’90s.

We think that our street is “the best kept secret in town”.

Sunshine Coast architect Gerard Smith of Mojo

Designs, picked up three awards at this year’s National Building and Design Awards in Sydney.

The best Residential Interior and the highest BDA honour, the Design Excellence Award, was for his design work on the stunning Eumundi house Satori.

EG: It must be a great feeling to have your work acknowledged on such a grand scale?

GS: It’s amazing. I feel very grateful and very honoured. To be honest, I feel very humbled.

What is it about Satori that’s attracted such accolades?

Satori exhibits beautiful spaces that take full advantage of the magnificent site on which the home is built. I believe that the consideration of light and space with appropriate proportion and scale throughout the home are vital reasons why Satori has achieved such success in terms of awards and accolades on a regional, state and national level. However, as fantastic [as] the awards... are, the real rewards

Dr Grow It All sent its first consignment of organic

fertiliser to India earlier this month.The 20,000 litre shipment

was the brainchild of Noosaville businessman Atul Patel. Mr Patel whose father was a farmer and uncle a researcher into soil conservation for the West Indian Agricultural Department says Indian farmers have damaged vast amounts of soil through bulk use of chemical fertilisers. Having lost the ability to grow crops properly, there is now high demand among Indian farmers for a cost effective, environmentally sound alternative.

Mr Patel found the solution with Dr Grow it All. Husband and wife owners Danny and Chris Hood gave Mr Patel 1000 litres to trial. He used it on crops across the state of Gujarat in western India. The results were staggering; farmers have reported doubling their yield. “Now people are asking for more. It’s a huge market,” said Mr Patel.

Danny Hood had worked on his organic fertiliser for more than a decade. After running tests with Horticulture Australia and getting approval for its use, the next step

Eumundi house wins design awardsare not only satisfying the clients’ requirements but adding real value to their lives through design – the appreciation and the enjoyment that this brings into your clients’ lives are the real rewards.

How much did the lush surroundings play into your design choices for Satori?

A lot. The beautiful site that Satori is built upon was a vital factor in the design process. It’s conditions, orientation and aspect are vital elements that must be taken into consideration when designing a home.

What’s your overall design approach?

To design with freedom but logic that not only fulfils the clients’ requirements and desires but also embellishes their lives with conscious and subconscious elements that enhance the way they live… their state of being.

Can design be beautiful and functional?

Unequivocally yes! If the design is beautiful but it does not perform a required function, in my opinion, it is a failure.

was commercialisation. Dr Grow It All’s operations officer

Lou Hatton said this has only happened in the last year, mostly due to a local business support program set up by Ed Gainer from the Sunshine Coast Council. “They put us in contact with some professionals, who helped us refine our business plan. Now we’re working at establishing the company better in Australia,” Mr Hatton explained.

“It’s important for us to also do that here in Eumundi and to instil a sense of community … to show people what we’re doing [is] something very unique.”

“Dr Grow it All” showed their community spirit recently by giving over 100,000 litres of their fertiliser to flood affected farmers. Mr Hatton said the donation has paid off for the company as it has shown traditional farmers they can boost soil fertility without using harmful chemicals and actually increase their yields in the process. According to Mr Hatton, the more fertiliser used, the healthier the soil became, cutting costs by about 40 per cent.

The most recent April meeting was attended by Glen Elmes MP and Councillor Paul Tatton, who provided updates on both

Local and State Government issues. Andy and Nicola Dudas of the Fig Tree kindly hosted the meeting. Project updates were provided by working group members.The Organising Committee chair gave an update on the forthcoming Australian Body Art Carnivale and a reminder that tickets for the Saturday 12 May gala event at the Fig Tree, are now available online for $35 per head. Many family activities are included this year and the whole event will be staged in the Amphitheatre area.

Benchmarking to target the cash economy

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has established a series of key ratios to compare and measure the financial performance

of small to medium businesses in yet another attempt to stamp out the cash economy. Since 2009 they have released benchmarks to cover more than 100 industries they consider at risk of under reporting income on their annual tax returns. The ATO uses these benchmarks to identify businesses that may be outside the “norm” in comparison to others in the same or similar field. If they consider the taxpayer has reported income outside the relevant benchmark they may select them for a compliance audit. This may involve the taxpayer providing the ATO with documentation to substantiate the shortfall and if they are not satisfied with the response they can amend the return by applying the particular benchmark to increase the income and therefore the tax payable. Without proof the ATO prefers to think that cash transactions have not been reported and it is up to the taxpayer to prove them wrong. It is imperative that a good record keeping system is in place. The ATO does not take into consideration factors such as wet weather or adverse conditions that may affect a taxpayer in any particular year. There may be higher costs associated with purchasing products and materials in some areas which cannot be passed onto the client for whatever reason. This is causing much concern within many industries because no two businesses are alike and there may be many reasons why a taxpayer may be outside what is considered the normal benchmark for that particular industry.

Benchmarking can also be a great tool to use to improve business performance. If you want to find out more about this tool go to www.ato.gov.au/businesses.

Approximately 40 per cent of the respondents to the

latest Sunshine Coast Business Confidence Survey predict business performance will be stronger in the next six months.

With more than 500 businesses regularly responding to the biannual survey, sponsored by Sunshine Coast TAFE, this tool has become the premier benchmark for business conditions across the Coast.

Sunshine Coast TAFE Institute director Ross Hepworth said, “Whilst 20 per cent of businesses reported a ‘much weaker’ performance in the last six months, the good news is, that optimism remains relatively strong and we have a very resilient and adaptable business community.

This local government election was notable for the level of

confusion experienced by voters and the large number of unknown candidates who stood for the first time. The final counting for divisions 9 and 10 was not determined until the last preferences were distributed on Tuesday 8 May. However, advice from scrutineers suggested preferential voting in these divisions for Councillors was very low, with most people using the first past the post voting system. It seemed likely that the voting pattern available by the end of last week would be close to the final outcome.

Divisions 9 and 10 votes reflected the overall Coast votes with Mark Jamieson looking to be a clear winner a week ago with just

“If you compare responses from the last six months of trading to what is expected over the next six months, there is a marked difference, with nearly 40 per cent of respondents predicting stronger profitability levels.”

Mr Hepworth added, “There were 18 per cent of businesses reporting an increase in benefits largely due to the resources boom, with 60 per cent reporting no discernible benefits as yet.

“Increased online trading, software and IT products, skills and training and other supporting industries were also identified as opportunities for the Sunshine Coast business community.”

under 32 per cent of the votes in these divisions. The percentage of informal votes was high – just over six per cent.

There also seemed little doubt at that point that Greg Rogerson would be the division 10 representative. The vote was closer in division 9 with a close run to the finish between Steve Robinson and Taylor Bunnag, with the likely outcome that the former would be elected.

It was difficult to analyse the difference between Eumundi voters and others, as the percentage of declaration and pre-poll votes was greater in both divisions than the total number of votes in any given booth. In addition, the number of informal votes was particularly high.

On ANZAC Day we were reminded of the value of

the trees in Memorial Ave as we observed with interest, the main (and only) street of Dartmoor in far western Victoria.

Like Eumundi, the people of Dartmoor chose to remember the sacrifice of many from the local area in the Great War of 1914–18. Like Eumundi, they lined their main street with memorial trees to be viewed over time as a reminder to following generations. The trees were a cypress pine that loved the area as they grew to great girths and spread.

However, by 1996 many of the trees had started to show signs of age and disease. An arborist was called in who recommended the community consider removing the trees, as they were reaching a dangerous stage for cars and walkers. The local authorities were challenged by the potential loss of these memorials, but eventually came up with a plan to maintain their value and importance to

the community. It was decided to have the trees lopped and any salvageable timber cut to planks for use in public seating and tables. They then called in a chain saw artist who created a row of statues that continued the story of the trees. Each trunk was cut to reflect a part of the story of that war. Images of a young man eagerly waiting his turn to serve, the soldier waiting in military pose, “going over the top”, the caring nurse, other services, right through to the grieving mother with telegram in hand, all serve to remind today’s passersby of the story that has been told all those years.

While reflecting on the message, we couldn’t also help wonder what may become of the mighty trees in our Memorial Ave.

Your SayHospice says thanks

On behalf of the Sunshine Coast Community Hospice Ltd, which runs Katie Rose Cottage, we wish to thank the owner of the Maleny Botanic Garden, Frank Shipp, for giving us the opportunity to raise funds by opening up his beautiful property for all to enjoy on Sunday 22 April.

It was an extremely community spirited and generous offer which allowed us to raise a considerable amount of money to assist in the care of the terminally ill in our community.

An incredible group of people assisted in making this day the success it was by contributing their time and expertise: Colin Campbell, our local garden guru, who gave two lectures and spent the day imparting his gardening knowledge to guests; the Rotary

Club of Nambour and the Rotary Club of Nambour 76 who made sandwiches; the Blackall Range Lions Club who manned the sausage sizzle; the local businesses who donated or gave discounted product s for the day’s events to run smoothly; the Butler Jazz Quartet and Mapleton Choir who entertained from the gazebo; and the wonderful band of volunteers who gave up their time to man the car park, refreshment stand, plant sales, and raffles.

We are forever grateful to the news media for promoting this event to the Coast and greater Brisbane area and giving us the exposure that resulted in making the day the success it was.

Our thanks to you all.Bev Barton and Deb Forbes

Eumundi Green volunteer writer Matt Popplewell has a passion

for all things green and vibrant. So it’s fitting that Matt – who informs our readers about what’s happening at the Wildlife Centre – and wife Olga have started a small family business, Villa Flora of Eumundi.

They plan to supply “seasonal colour and gift plants” on Saturdays at the Original Markets.

Market Drum

As a trained horticulturist, Matt is always happy to help with gardening questions, and he and Olga welcome feedback on their locally raised plants. Matt loves the excited chatter at the markets and believes having a stall is very much a part of being settled in the community. “It’s great fun,” he says. “Bringing a hobby we love to the markets gives us both a great deal of joy.”

The Independent Theatre at Eumundi and Berkelouw

Books Eumundi have announced a cultural partnership.

This will allow cross-promotion of many aspects of both local icons and extend very attractive offers to Sunshine Coast residents.

The move is a natural tie-up, according to Indee spokesman John Burls.

Eumundi boasts one of the greatest bookstores in the business, with over 100,000 books in stock, and a theatre noted for its consistently high standards and diversity of programs, which, while it hasn’t competed for many years, is still the most awarded theatre on the Coast. Further details will be announced soon.

This year at the Body Art Carnivale there’s a new

workshop designed to get kids and their families more involved in the fun.

Last year, Eerwah Vale local Kait Manchip noticed that while grownups were happy to watch and be entertained by all the colour of the carnivale, many children seemed a little restless. Determined to involve young and old alike in the event, Kait hit upon the idea of combining her life-long love of Barbie – she’s collected 185 so far – with a background in costume design. The result: All Dolled Up; a hands-on doll painting workshop and competition.

There are two sessions on both days, where anyone can come along, pick a doll and give it a spectacular makeover using paint, glitter, clay, or other treasure brought from home. “People can watch the painting on the bodies and get inspired,” suggests Kait.

When you’re happy with your doll’s new paint job, they’ll be dried and hung on fishing nets to be displayed and judged in one of four categories: best entry by an under 15 year old; best overall

ANZAC Day 2012

Verrierdale’s dawn service saw around 200 locals, veterans and the Noosa Chorale crowd together amongst the gums to sing

with heart.The Verrierdale Community Group, led by matriarch Fay Wiggins,

then fed 150 people the traditional hot breakfast.

At the Eumundi community walk, veterans were supported with a historic military vehicle convoy, resplendent Light Horsemen, the

Noosa District Pipe Band, community groups and five schools: Good Shepherd Lutheran College, Noosa District High School, Cooroy State School, North Arm State School and Eumundi State School.

Eumundi Chamber president Barrie Adams closed the service by reminding us that Australia is “a great country and we need to celebrate [that] every day”.


ANZAC Day 2012

Eumundi State School showed its respect by assembling under the fig tree canopy for a remembrance service.

Each of Eumundi’s fig trees represents the life of a local man lost in war; it’s fitting that the school with these trees on its uniform should pay its respects here.

these organs and functions, allowing us to greet spring with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

We can nurture and sustain ourselves through the most ancient and simple (and cost-efficient) form of medicine and healing: through our food and in the way which we eat.

Some of the key foods and spices used to warm the body and reduce coldness include leek, sweet potato, turnip, fennel seed, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon,

cayenne, garlic, coriander, onion, mustard, coconut milk, rosemary, chicken, lamb, trout and walnut. Include plenty of seasonal root vegetables (preferably grown locally) in your winter diet.

Add beetroot, which is high in potassium, magnesium and vitamin A, to cleanse the kidneys and bladder.

Vegetables are essential to include in the diet as they are extremely high in minerals and have a real affinity with the

Water Element. “Black” or dark coloured foods have an affinity with the Water Element; think Aduki, black and kidney beans, blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, broccoli, watercress, parsley, wintergreen, eggplant, kale, wild rice, soy sauce, miso, figs, and black pepper.

Winter is a time to cook foods slowly. Soups, braised dishes and roasted foods warm our bodies, restore moistness and nourish deeply.

May is Rotary Bowelscan Month

Learn to love your neighbour

Bowel cancer is Australia’s number one internal cancer,

killing well over 4000 Australian men and women every year. But it is a disease that is 90 per cent curable if it is caught early.

The prevalence and severity of bowel cancer is due to the fact that there are usually no symptoms in the early stages of the disease when polyps in the larger bowel – the colon – are small. With no obvious symptoms, a polyp is given the chance to develop cancer which may spread to other vital organs completely undetected.

Not all polyps are cancerous. If detected early they can be removed, which significantly reduces the possibility of bowel

is an initiative of more than 300 Rotary Clubs across Australia. Its aim is to raise awareness of the disease and encourage people to get into the habit of regular testing.

The program on the Sunshine Coast and North Brisbane will run from 1–31 May. Rotary Bowelscan test kits are inexpensive ($8 each) and are easy to use. They are available from participating pharmacies.

In the SpotlightLocal artist Sue McPherson has published her first book

Winner of the inaugural black&write! kuril dhagun

Indigenous writing fellowship (a partnership between the State Library of Queensland and Magabala Books) Sue gives us some insight into how she wrote her acclaimed novel Grace Beside Me, where she found her inspiration, and why she calls Eumundi home.

EG: It’s one thing to want to write a novel – but to actually do it AND for it to be good is a real achievement. How did you get into the writing swing for Grace Beside Me?

SM: I’ve always loved stories especially a good Australian story. I often use stories to support artwork. It brings soul to a piece and helps people connect. One day at Berkelouw… I picked up a flyer encouraging people to write by attending a workshop.

I met Rose Allen from Coolum and after the workshop I joined [her] fortnightly writing classes with other budding storytellers. I muffed it up to start with purely because I was writing about things I thought I was supposed to.

After a few kind words from

Rose it was suggested I write what I knew.

The following day, I guess the planets aligned, I started to listen and next thing Nan in the book is waiting by the computer for me to start.

Grace Beside Me is the story of indigenous teenager Fuzzy Mac, the eccentric characters that make up her life, and what it’s like to be different in a small country town. Where did Fuzzy Mac’s story come from?

It is very loosely autobiographical. The setting is on a property where I grew up. I was called Fuzzy Mac when I was younger: my wild Islander–hair, my surname. The story needed to be about Indigenous Australia simply because that’s who I am. I also wanted to encourage Koories Aboriginal and Islanders to read and make connections with characters in the book. I also wanted non-Indigenous Australians to hopefully appreciate life for a black family in a white community.

Was Fuzzy Mac’s story bursting to get out or did you struggle to find her?

Nan would wake me up half way through the night with bits and pieces for the book. Pop and Fuzzy stood behind her trying to get a word in. I reckon they found me - that’s why it was relatively easy to write.

You and your family are locals, how long have you lived here and why Eumundi?

We came to Eumundi eleven years ago from Wagga Wagga in NSW. The vibe here was totally different to home. We have trees - gotta love that. Eumundi has a deadly creative vibe. We can walk down the street and grab one of the best coffees on the Coast, have a yarn and a laugh with beautiful townspeople and jealous tourists. It’s close to the beach… not to mention all the other lovely hinterland towns dotted around. Artisans within the market are so inspiring and exceptionally creative. I love that I can wander down, listen to music and purchase a one off.

Sue McPherson will be in Berkelouw Books to talk about Grace Beside Me on Sunday May 20 at 10.30am.

recognise the incredible diversity of green art produced in this region,” Ms Barclay said. “Green art refers to any creative project which expresses and responds to the natural environment. The Cultural Board is in this field,” said Ms Barclay.

The prize is for one artist or a collaborative team to receive a grant of $2000 on behalf of the Noosa Biosphere Cultural Board, with the final project to be delivered at the biennial Floating Land.

Applications are encouraged and now open through www.noosabiosphere.org/artprize.

“The awards are open to all businesses across the entire Sunshine Coast region, however we know that there are some fabulous local businesses engaged in best practice and we strongly encourage them to self nominate.”

Past winner Sheraton Noosa Resort and Spa general manager Stephen Ferrigno urged other Sunshine Coast businesses to look at the opportunities that entering presents.

“Winning an award not only helps drive revenue to your business but shows the market how your business is making a difference to the community,” he said. “Being recognised as a sustainability champion drove a new market of eco-conscious travellers to our business.”

Award categories open for self-nomination include the Golden Glossy, Excellence in Sustainable Design Award, Resource Saver Award, Sustainable Transport Award, Living Smart Solutions Award, Enviro-Business Award, Greening the Arts Award and Edible Landscapes. Nominate your business by 14 May at www.livingsmartawards.net.au/awards.

emerging and professional artists to submit an expression of interest application for their inaugural 2012 Noosa Biosphere Art Prize.

calling for nominations, targeting local businesses focused on the three foundations of sustainability – economic, environmental and social sustainability.

The Glossies Awards recognise and celebrate sustainability achievements of local residents, businesses and community groups in a wide range of categories, and this year the volunteers from Noosa Biosphere Ltd are rolling up their sleeves and getting involved.

Rod Wallbridge of the Social Board of Noosa Biosphere Ltd said they decided to become a sponsor of the Enviro-business awards this year to highlight best practice social sustainability.

“Alongside economic and environmental sustainability, social sustainability is equally important and recognises the significance of the relationship between community and businesses and quality of life,” Mr Wallbridge said. “We helped create some additional social sustainability criteria to be added to the judging, including the wellbeing of people and place, community support and equity.

Glyciphylla refers to sweet leaves and this plant was used by the first colonists to brew up a bitter-sweet tea with medicinal properties and as an antidote for various unmentionable diseases. It did help in preventing scurvy and the leaves are known to have anti-oxidant properties.

This plant is also a scrambler-climber but is not prickly, instead it has extremely tough, thin brown tendrils which are extremely hard to break and also form impenetrable clumps. The leaves are narrower than those of S. australis; the flowers are also arranged in umbels and produce small, black berries. Like S. australis it is endemic to Australia, ranging up the east coast and growing in similar situations. Often the two species are found growing together.

Note: We brewed some tea to try it and definitely prefer Bushells. But we wondered about the name “sarsaparilla” and were disappointed when the tea tasted nothing like it. Then we found out that the roots from related West Indian and American species form one of the flavour ingredients in the drink. Sarsaparilla comes from the Spanish for “bramble” and “small vine”.

That is the best thing you can do when you are walking

through the bush and get snarled up in a vine of that name. Just gently untangle yourself and try not to curse too much.

You have just found Smilax australis (Southern Bramble: Smilax was one of the nymphs in Greek legends who was changed into a bramble vine) also known as Barbed Wire Vine and Wait-a-While Vine, for good reason.

This plant uses tough, very prickly, flexible stems up to 30mm thick with coiled tendrils at their tips to climb into and through the understory and so wind its way up into the lower trees. In doing so, it can form almost impenetrable thickets. It has very broad dark-green leaves; the new leaves are a delicate pink colour. The flowers, produced mainly in spring, are in white to pink umbels, yielding small black berries containing one or two seeds. Smilax australis is found in many situations here on the Coast, ranging from wallum heath to rainforest. Its distribution is up the eastern coast, the NT and the northern part of WA.

The other related plant found in this area is Smilax glyciphylla, known as Sweet Sarsaparilla.

Green TipLow impact winter warmth

As winter edges nearer and the temperatures drop, as you dig out electric blankets and heaters, think about what you can do

around the house to limit your impact on the environment.Use natural light: morning sunlight can warm up your home naturally, so open up your blinds and curtains to the light, especially in north facing windows.Close curtains: keep the sun’s warmth inside – close blinds and curtains when the sun starts to go down.Dry wisely: limit your use of the clothes dryer. Timed showers: hot water systems can drain energy so don’t be too tempted to take long, hot showers.Blankets and doonahs: blow the dust off the doonahs and use these to keep warm in bed; A couple of throw-over blankets in the lounge room will also come in handy.Heat zoning: if you’re heating up a room, zone it off from the rest of the house so warm air doesn’t escape; remember to turn off heaters when leaving the house.

Many readers would be familiar with the Dropbox

file synchronisation program that lets you sync documents across multiple PCs, notebooks, phones and tablets and also access your documents through a web browser.

Microsoft also has their version of this, called SkyDrive. Previously, you could only access your SkyDrive storage via a website but Microsoft recently released a desktop SkyDrive program for PC and Apple devices. Like Dropbox, this creates a SkyDrive folder, and anything you save in there is synchronised to the internet (the cloud) so it is securely backed up and accessible anywhere. SkyDrive gives you 7 gigabytes of storage for free, as opposed to Dropbox 2GB for a free account.

Amazing stories of local men and women will feature at the

Nambour Museum during this year’s Queensland Heritage Week from 12 to19 May.

Vice-president Fay Thorogood said the museum is home to collections of stories and photographs about many of the district’s men and women who in some way lived extraordinary lives in very diverse ways.

“One story in the museum is about Jim Achurch from Nambour who won a gold medal for javelin in the 1954 Empire Games in Vancouver, setting a British Empire Games record when he threw 224 ft 9.5 in,” Fay said.

“He also represented Australia five times overseas in Veterans’ events including four times in athletics.”

Another amazing story is that of Nurse Martha Bade whose home was attached to the nursing home in Nambour on Petrie Creek Road. She officiated at more than 1000 births during her remarkable midwifery career, while having eight children of her own.

Nambour Museum will be open 10am–4pm Saturday 12 May,

Although not as rich in some advanced features as Dropbox, initial testing seems positive, including the ability to successfully upload a file I have never been able to sync with Dropbox. Users of Word and Excel 2010 can also save their documents directly to SkyDrive. Click the File Menu, then Save & Send, then Save to Web, and login with your SkyDrive account (this is just your Hotmail or Windows Live login; if you don’t have one it’s simple and quick to create). You will then see your SkyDrive folders and can save and name your file.

tribute to that era with an entertaining presentation on films and projectors put together by local film historian Kev Franzi, followed by the Australian classic movie The Picture Show Man.

Discover Eumundi Heritage and Visitors Centre manager Wendy Birrell said it was a lovely tribute to one of the many parts that the School of Arts has played in Eumundi’s social history.

Eumundi Rugby Club may be few in numbers but their

hearts beat bigger than their opposition!

All the recent wet weather couldn’t keep them at bay on Saturday 28 and a stellar effort was put in by all 3 teams. Under 7s won their game, Under 8s just missed out by a hair’s breadth and Under 11s saw a hearty win – all in wet and sloppy conditions.

The players all enjoyed the luxury of being allowed to get wet

and muddy and the enthusiasm and fun flowed through to the spectators who fronted up to the sports grounds in ankle deep water to watch and cheer on their teams. What a joy discovering that Matthew Flinders had showers to wash off some of the excess mud after the game too. Great results for the club with all coaches thrilled with the results.

John and Joyce Turnbull’s ANZAC pilgrimage was via a trip on the Ghan from Darwin to Adelaide

with a special timetable to allow ANZAC tributes at Adelaide River War Cemetery and a dawn service, gunfire breakfast and traditional march and service at Katherine.

The cemetery includes the graves of the post office workers killed in the Darwin air raid in 1942. The Adelaide River visit coincided with the dress rehearsal for the next day’s dawn service. This involved serving air force personnel, an Indigenous drum player and his partner playing the bag pipes and a teenager playing the bugle – a poignant occasion. Similarly the commemorations at Katherine involving many serving air force personnel, community families, the mayor splendidly dressed in red and diggers and other travellers from the Ghan made for a special commemoration. John Schumann from Red Gum who travelled on the Ghan sang his signature song I was only Nineteen in several locations.
