With a Little Help from My Friends It’s true. Charmaine Wheatley loathes lonely Sundays. At least she did, until she became the organiser of the meetup group ‘New to the Sunshine Coast’. Here’s her story.
Charmaine Wheatley, organiser of the meetup group ‘New to the Sunshine Coast’. Photo contributed.
“I joined the group about 18 months ago and went to a couple of meetups. Then I got a notice that this meetup was going to close because the organiser was resigning. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon and I decided to do something about it.” So Charmaine clicked a few buttons on her laptop and hey presto, she was the new group organiser. She used the meetup site to invite members for coffee and a walk that very afternoon. She told them she’d be wearing a red hat and standing at the Kings Beach Fountain at 3 o’clock. Charmaine arrived at the fountain, “I looked around and I didn’t see a soul. I’ve got my meetup sign and I’m feeling a real dork. And at 3 o’clock on the dot, twenty people just appeared, just like that and strode over to me and said hi. “I thought this is great. Here I am walking with my twenty new best friends along the
beachfront. And we chatted. We had coffee and it was lovely. Everybody was lingering so I said, ‘Would anyone like to stay for fish and chips?’ And they did.” Charmaine is South African born. She lived in New South Wales for ten years before moving north. Down south, she managed three Curves franchises and was recognised as the Illawarra Business Person of the Year in 2008. She enjoys entertaining and meeting new people. Meetup has allowed her to do the things that are not so much fun on your own, like going to a movie or picking strawberries. She pays meetup an administration fee of $15 a month. Members only pay for the activity. TAMARIND MAGAZINE

The ‘New to the Sunshine Coast’ meetup group spent a day whalewatching. Photo contributed.
Charmaine says, “I’ve seen lovely friendships form. No romances, but it’s not a dating service. I’ve met some lovely lovely people.” Some activities are repeated each month. For instance, the group meets for a $12 dinner at the Irish pub O’Malley’s, coffee and a walk at Kings Beach, Caloundra and a full moon walk and fish and chips at Mooloolaba.
Other activities are planned regularly too. So far, whale-watching has been the best attended meetup with 45 members sharing a great day out. Charmaine is a member of the Rotary Club in Buderim and she fundraises for an aids orphanage in the city of Welkom in South Africa. For one meetup she asked members if they would come and help her pack a shipping container with clothes, shoes and other goods. Thirty people turned up on two Saturday mornings at 7am. “It was such a joy seeing a little local community on the Sunshine Coast prepared to help an international aids orphanage over 14,000 kilometres away,” she recalls. She remembers one hard-working guy, who came up to her after the packing was finished and said, “Charmaine, thank you for giving me the opportunity to help. I don’t have much money but just the fact that we’ve been here for two Saturday mornings, I’ve been able to help kids in another country. That’s my contribution.” A FAST FACT: The 2011 Australian Census data showed that about one in four households are occupied by one person. The Single Person Urban Dwellers (SPUDS) account for 27% of our population. TAMARIND MAGAZINE
www.tamarindmagazine.com
ISSUE # 7
With more and more Australians living alone, meetup groups are flourishing. There are
132 meetup groups on the Sunshine Coast. Charmaine agrees that meetup can make a difference. “There was one gorgeous young fellow and he said to me, ‘Charmaine, meetup has saved my life. I got divorced. All my friends went with my wife because we only socialised with her friends. “ ‘So there I was, newly single. I’d sleep from 5 o’clock on Friday right through until Monday morning. I don’t hang around pubs. I hurt my leg so I’m not good at sport. [The divorce] just devastated me. Since joining ‘New to the Sunshine Coast’, I’m meeting people, socialising and getting my life back on track again.’ ”
There is no age restriction to the meetup group. “There’s a lot in their twenties. I find that they come for a few meetups and then they join the other ones. Initially it’s a safe environment because there are mothers and grandmothers and grandads.” Charmaine and her co-organiser Christelle Swan Wehrmuller select a range of activities that help members experience the Sunshine Coast. From here, some members launch out and start up other meetups or arrange other social activities. “We’ve birthed the Over 50s Adventure Group and also a photography meetup,” Charmaine says proudly. The group is popular with shift workers and fly-in, fly-out workers. People just RSVP to the activities that suit their schedules. Charmaine has found the Sunshine Coast to be a very fractured community. “People move around a lot. So the turnover is high in the group.” When Charmaine migrated from South Africa to Australia ten years ago, her biggest hurdle was making friends. Now she’s throwing away the hurdles for herself and others.

Have you noticed the golden autumn colour brightening our local parks and roadsides?
Meet the Golden Penda Sunshine Coast Council’s arborist Kristi Howe with a Golden Penda.
For Kristi Howe, arborist and Arboricultural Services Team Leader with the Sunshine Coast Council, the Golden Penda is a stand out tree. She explains, “There are very limited species that are good all-rounders for urban
situations. We’ve got footpaths and roads and underground services.” The Golden Penda is a good all-rounder. It has a good show of flowers. It gets few pests and diseases. It attracts bees, nectar-feeding birds and butterflies and does not grow too large. The Golden Penda, Xanthostemon chrysanthus, is in the Myrtaceae family, which is the same family as bottle brush and the eucalypts. Kristi says, “What catches your eye are these long stamens. The flower is really quite inconspicuous. That type of flower is typical with the family.”
Each flower head is made up of many individual five-petalled flowers. Each separate flower is called an inflorescence.

The Golden Pendas on Nicklin Way, Bokarina are about 10 years old. They are pruned regularly to keep them back from the pathways, the road and the overhanging wires.

ISSUE # 7
The Golden Penda is a fast growing
tree from North Eastern Queensland. It can be found from Townsville north to Cape York. Kristi says that they are typically a coastal rainforest tree. In that environment, the Golden Pendas compete for light and grow to about 15 metres. Kristi finds that in our urban areas, they only grow up to about 7 metres. The Golden Penda in autumn flower.
She states, “They are definitely suitable for the backyard. There’s also a dwarf variety, ‘Fairhill Gold’ that grows to about 3 metres. That would be perfect.” As a bonus, this autumn-flowering tree puts on a second flower show in summer. Stay watching.

Cheryl McGannon A Bold and Versatile Artist
Sunshine Coast artist Cheryl McGannon exhibited work in Caloundra recently with the Queensland Arts Alliance.
Sunshine Coast artist Cheryl McGannon exhibited four dramatic lino prints in Caloundra last month with the Queensland Arts Alliance. Known as the DOPE series, the work shows a dove, an owl, a peacock and an eagle. It was inspired by a personality questionnaire that
Cheryl completed when she worked with Queensland TAFE as a visual arts teacher and head of department. Cheryl was sceptical about the questionnaire at first. But she found the results interesting. The questionnaire showed up personality traits and linked them to the birds in a fun way to discuss in the workplace. The people who score high in the dove category are peaceful and friendly. The owl represents the wise and logical thinker. The peacocks are showy and optimistic and the eagles are bold and decisive. People have a mix of these qualities. On the questionnaire, Cheryl came out as an eagle - bold and decisive. “I knew I wasn’t a peacock and I’m not really a dove. I am ambitious. With everything that I do, I want to achieve.” Her vision was to develop the works and offer them to corporations that were using the personality questionnaires with their staff.

Vision, Wisdom and Courage by Cheryl McGannon. Photo contributed.
“It’s really interesting when you look into how people employ other people. So many times people will employ people like themselves. You really need that diversity of characters and personalities and work ethics, etc., etc., to make up a strong team,” she comments. Cheryl explains the process, “I choose to do it in lino because I wanted big bold images. I
printed them in black. They are hand-coloured in watercolour. I had to use translucent watercolours because if you just mix up a very strong colour in the watercolour, it’ll go flat. “So you have to put it on very softly then you wait for it to dry. Then you paint it again and again until you get that translucency that you want. It took a long long time.” True to her purpose, Cheryl sold one set of images to a corporate business in Hong Kong. “They use the test and they have these images on the wall. It was great. I was absolutely thrilled with that.” TAMARIND MAGAZINE

She has also made a set using gold dust. “I just printed the image in black ink and then sprinkled the lot with this pure gold dust. They were very subtle.” Looking around Cheryl’s house and studio, it’s obvious that she is a versatile artist. She
explains, “I think that for every concept that you develop, there’s a certain medium that’s suitable for that concept. Not everything is suitable for painting. Not everything that you want to depict is a painting. It can be a print, it can be encaustic (art done with wax), and it can be etching.” For Cheryl the story is central to her work. “I don’t just paint for the sake of painting. Well, for me, I can’t just sit and paint a tree or paint a landscape. There has to be a story behind it. There has to be a meaning. I really believe that if you don’t have a concept, you don’t have an artwork.” TAMARIND MAGAZINE

ISSUE # 7
Things can change though. “The beautiful thing
about art is that when you’re working, the subconscious seems to take over. You might start with some basic idea of what you want to do, but as you progress the whole image might change and intertwine with other influences. It’s the most rewarding experience.” Cheryl is currently working on a print for the annual Silkcut Award in Melbourne. She was a final-
ist in 2011 with the work Ship of Fools. Her current piece is called Tea Bag Dancers. She describes the work, “It’s dancers jigging about on the spot at a wedding. I’ve got all these little figures cut out of lino in these various jig, jig, jig poses. I’ve done a disco ball. It’s just a whimsical piece.”
Original lino prints from the DOPE series are available from the artist, framed or unframed. Cheryl McGannon can be contacted by email at chezartist@gmail.com . You can see more of her work at

Introducing the
Queensland Arts Alliance "Of the artist, by the artist, and for the artist.� The QAA was formed in December 2013 by a group of 9 Sunshine Coast artists. It aims to promote Queensland artists to Australia and the world. The QAA wants its members to have control over the way their work is seen, displayed and sold. The alliance held its first major exhibition in Caloundra earlier in 2014 at the BreakFree Grand Pacific Resort. It was a resounding success. The group aims to elevate the level of the art shown on the Coast to the highest standards possible. The QAA members want to use their art to assist people in need in our local communities. The QAA plans to hold one major exhibition each year as well as smaller shows. For more information, visit the Queensland Arts Alliance website.

Writing from the Woods
Writer Inga Simpson discusses her new novel, Nest. Photo by Claire Plush.
Writer Inga Simpson lives in the Sunshine Coast hinterland on ten wooded acres. It’s her retreat. From her writing desk she can look out on the treetops and hear the small woodland birds. Inga has drawn on this location for the setting of her latest novel Nest. “I usually start with place and hope that other things come from that. I think Australians love reading about place. People love Winton’s work for that reason, its strong sense of place.” However, Inga says there are limits to using a too familiar setting. “I think you get too worried about accuracy if you try to describe where you live. [The setting in Nest] is a cross between our hinterland and the Gold Coast hinterland. It’s almost a mythical place and yet with the detail that I’ve seen and lived in now.” The central character is Jen, a retired teacher who is reviving her work as a bird artist. She returns to the sawmill town of her past, buys a small property and sets up a bird hide to
better watch her subjects. “Jen has ended a long-term relationship and is struggling to get past that,” Inga explains. An early review in Bookseller and Publisher says, “Readers of Inga Simpson’s charming debut novel Mr Wigg will recognise the author’s keen eye and vibrant descriptions of the natural world. It’s a joy to linger with Jen as she sketches the wrens playing outside her studio, or observes the wallabies looking up from their grazing.” (Richard Bilkey, Samsung Australia). TAMARIND MAGAZINE
www.tamarindmagazine.com
ISSUE # 7
Inga describes the storyline, “Jen tutors a young boy in draw-
ing and a girl in his class goes missing. Something similar happened when she was a girl and that sends her right back. “Her father disappeared at the same time and has never been found and nor has the child so everyone has always associated her father with that crime and so has she.” Inga points out that “It’s not a crime novel. It’s more about the impact of something like that on the community, on the school children, on the teachers, on parents. It’s about how the town and the community closes up in response to that and in response to strangers. ” Inga’s Other Writing Project Inga Simpson has a Masters in English Literature and a doctorate in Creative Writing. Not content with this, she is studying for a second doctorate, this time in Literary Studies.
She explains, “I wanted to do this project anyway. It’s a history of Australian nature writing. The University of Queensland were kind enough to offer me a scholarship to do it as a Ph. D. with them.” So What Is Nature Writing? It starts with keen observation about a place. According to Australian writer and poet Mark Tredinnick, nature writing “asks the writer to listen—to the world beyond the merely
human.” It is a way of witnessing and translating the landscape into the language of words. Tredinnick says, “It is nature, writing.” Inga Simpson expects to complete this second doctorate by the end of 2014 and then convert the work back into common language so it can be published as a book.

Celebrating the Joys of a Slower Life Inga Simpson’s popular literary novel, Mr Wigg traces the last days of an elderly man who has retired from active farming and potters around his orchard, workshop and kitchen filling his days. It’s a contented story although Mr Wigg desperately misses his wife who died about a year earlier. Mr Wigg was long-listed for the 2014 Dobbie Award and shortlisted for the 2014 Indie Awards in the debut fiction category. For the novel, Inga drew on her own background growing up on a farming property in central west New South Wales. Her family have farmed the land from the time of white settlement. Inga Simpson wants to remind the reader of the value of a quiet life. She says, “It’s partly about slower living and paying attention to your surroundings. And the satisfaction that comes from that.” She has depicted the tension between middle-aged adults and their parents. Having seen these tensions first hand in her farming family, she was interested in writing about them. The book touches on questions such as, “Who inherits and who doesn’t?” Inga watched her parents challenge her grandparents with new ideas. Generally her grandparents resisted change. They were not caught up in following new trends. They had their values and they stuck to them. “In my childhood sliced bread and all those time-saving conventions came in and now a lot of us have moved away from that and we want wholesome home-cooked food.” She concludes, “In the end, we don’t always know better than our parents.” Inga Simpson can be contacted through her website, Notes from Olvar Wood. Book Launch A book launch for Nest will be held at The Avid Reader in West End, Brisbane on 30th July. This is a free event but bookings are essential. Check the Avid Reader website for details.

Haiku Meets Art The Goddess is a different offering from Sunshine Coast artist Chris Postle. The artwork started as a wave scene. “The girl appeared in the water so she has become the centre piece for the painting,” says Chris. Chris used acrylic house paint for texture. He applied resin and copper paint to create the metallic looking effect. Thank you for your haikus everyone. A selection appears on the next page. This piece certainly sparked some interesting responses. The art piece for our next haiku page will be posted on the Tamarind website. I’ll let you know when it’s online. Editor.

Book Talk I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes Reviewed by Graeme Bowden from the BookShop at Caloundra People have been telling me about how good this book is for ages. I am the world's slowest reader and I read it in two weeks.
Bookseller Graeme Bowden from The BookShop at Caloundra.
It’s 887 pages of just thrilling entertainment. Given the background of the author, which I did not know at the time, this was to be expected. Fast paced, lots of action and locations, twists in the plot and a range of characters for you to like or loath depending on your mood and where you are in the story. Similar to the best of Ludlum or Le Carre. This is a story about a contest between good and evil. The Pilgrim, the good one, a former top very secret agent of the United States "forced" out of retirement to save the world. The Saracen, born in Saudi Arabia but forced to leave at an early age he becomes a willing convert to a terrorist group. He is a brilliant student and becomes completely focused on his dream to destroy America. This story is very well written, very believable, and will keep you wondering until the very end. Brilliant.

Editor’s Pick
Mr Pip by Lloyd Jones I discovered this book at the Caloundra State School’s Giant Bookfest and it was my lucky find of the day. It is not a new book. It won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize in 2007 and was shortlisted for the Mann Booker Prize in the same year. This tale is told by Matilda, a girl living on the island of Bougainville during the civil unrest of the 1980s. The mine has closed, the whites have left and life is losing its patterns, no school, no planes.
Mr Watts, the only remaining white, puts on his best suit, opens the school and restores some sense of order to the children’s days. He reads them the story of Great Expectations. Matilda and Pip become great friends. Then the rebel soldiers and the redskins from the mainland come. Everything changes. Written with freshness and childlike lucidity, this is a great read from the New Zealand writer. In 2006-2007 Lloyd Jones was sponsored by Creative New Zealand to work in Berlin. The results is Hand Me Down World. But that’s another story.
