Fundraising for local charities is a challenging task, and many small organisations rely heavily on the generosity of their immediate community to support their activities and programs.

Donations from fundraising activities such as these make it easier for us to continue to support these programs and the youth in our local community.”

Eumundi Voice donation applications open Applications are now open, with Eumundi Voice seeking applications from local not-for-profit or charitable organisations who may need financial assistance for their projects or to support their activities.

Eumundi Voice is a key fundraising project run

by Eumundi Rotary Initiatives Ltd (ERIL) which is a not-for-profit organisation. Funds raised from the production of Eumundi Voice are distributed to local community organisations and groups to support their work. Since the magazine's inception in August 2020, Eumundi Voice has successfully donated over $64,000.

To apply for a donation visit: eumundivoice.com. au/fundraising-donations. Applications close on 30 November.

Eumundi Five-0’s This November, the Eumundi Police are swapping their clean-shaven looks for moustaches, all in support of the Movember movement. Leading Snr Constable Dave Solonec, Snr Constable Blair Doran, Snr Constable Gary McNeil and Sgt Nic Van Der Maat have stepped up to raise awareness and funds for men’s health.

Dave Solonec said, “The Eumundi Five-0 team are excited about getting involved in this year’s Movember movement. We’re aiming to raise $5,000 to support men’s health projects. As part of our efforts, we will be walking 60km each over the month – 1km for every man lost to suicide 10

each minute around the world. It’s our way of backing a great cause, starting conversations, and reminding everyone it’s okay to talk when things get tough.”

Movember is an annual event dedicated to tackling the biggest health issues faced by men: mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Men die on average 5 years earlier than women, often for preventable reasons. Alarmingly, males account for 75% of all suicide deaths.

So, take a “mo-ment” this November to support our “boys in blue” and help make a difference for men’s health. Donations can be made at: t.ly/ QRzuk.

Pomona Gallery grounds enhanced The Noosa Shire Council has recently completed extensive works in the grounds of the Pomona Railway Station Gallery.

The upgrades included repairing and replacing paving, as well as improving a retaining wall and ramp to ensure better access to the gallery buildings and gardens. These improvements aim to create a more welcoming arrival and an enhanced experience for visitors, including those from across Qld, interstate and overseas.

Ron Collins, President of the Pomona Railway Station Gallery said, “We’re extremely grateful to the council for this timely assistance, as the gallery celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.”

Noosa Council Community Services Director Kerri Contini said that council was proud to support the Pomona Railway Station Gallery helping ensure it remains a vibrant hub for hinterland creativity.

“The consultation done through the Pomona Place Plan clearly highlighted how much hinterland residents value arts and culture.

These improvements will help make the gallery even more inviting and accessible to visitors,” said Ms Contini.

The volunteer-run Pomona Railway Station Gallery is at 10 Station St, Pomona. Opening hours are 10am-4 pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am-2pm Saturday and Sunday.

Kindness in action: Local stories that warm the heart Kindness takes many forms – some quiet, some unexpected and some that shape the next generation. The Eumundi #KindnessCounts Awards held on World Kindness Day on 13 November, celebrate everyday people who remind us how compassion strengthens our community. Here are just a few of the real stories about our locals who have been noticed by others.

Dolly and her devotion to animals “Dolly has taken in abandoned and mistreated animals, mainly dogs, and not only gives them a safe home with love, attention and exercise, but pays for the surgeries and medication. A properly kind generous heart.”

Dolly’s dedication shows that kindness isn’t loud – it’s consistent. Her care gives frightened animals a second chance and reflects the power of compassion in action.

A hug, a curry, and a moment of healing “En route back from a long drive from Tin Can Bay I had ordered a curry from Sala Thai. When I popped in to pick it up, Jang came from behind the counter to give me a big hug. After learning I’d recently lost my husband, she added rice and another curry – free of charge – with another hug. It made me cry, and I’ll never forget her kindness.”

A simple act at just the right time can bring comfort that lingers long after the moment has passed.

Cooper’s everyday encouragement “Cooper is full of empathy, giving compliments and helping younger children. They’re drawn to him like magnets! He’s always the first to help and will make a fantastic leader.”

The future is kind. Cooper reminds us that leadership begins with kindness, and you can never be too young to be a kind leader.

Pink up!

Cooroy RSL’s entrance was resplendent with decorated bras in support of the McGrath Foun dati o n’s Pink Up Cooroy Breakfast fundraiser held on 24 October.

Tracy Bevan Ambassador and board member of the McGrath Foundation spoke about the organisation's history and the promise to her best friend Jane McGrath 20 years ago. Jane McGrath, the wife of Australian cricketer Glenn McGrath, was supported by a breast care nurse as she went through treatment, which sparked an idea and a vision. Jane and Glenn set out to make sure every family experiencing breast cancer had the free support of a breast care nurse, no matter where they live. Tracey continues to hold that promise to ensure people with cancer can have the support of a McGrath care nurse. Visit: mcgrathfoundation.com.au.

As part of the Sunshine Coast Open House program – which showcased historic, contemporary and sustainable buildings – Joe Hextall, curator of Eumundi Museum, led a guided walking tour through Eumundi.

Joe brought to life stories of the families and buildings that shaped Eumundi from the 1890s and early 1900s to the present day, including the blending of history with the current Eumundi streetscape project. The resilience of early settlers was evident, given how many shops and buildings burnt down in the town’s early years.

The “spooktacular” world of spiders Building on our exploration of spiders from Eumundi Voice Issue 128, this edition we delve into the remarkable world of insect-mimicking and pop-culture-inspired spiders found in our environment.

Jumping spiders: cute and clever With big eyes and expressive faces, jumping spiders are often referred to as the cute arachnids. However, these large eyes are not only for show. Jumping spiders have some of the sharpest vision in the animal kingdom. They can see in high resolution, essential for their active, visual hunting style. However, being active comes with a cost: it is easier to be spotted when wandering around compared to those with a less active lifestyle. So these jumpers have come up with costumes to help them both defensively and offensively.

The caterpillar jumping spider’s scientific name – Uroballus carlei – is in honour of Eric Carle, the author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This spider

The sheepy jumping spider (Oviballus vidae) resembles a fluffy, woollen sheep or mealy bug, with wool covering its rotund body. The layer of fluffy wax on its body conceals the insect within.

This jumping spider can be found in southern Africa.

Lastly, the weevil jumping spider (Coccorchestes ferreus) disguises itself as a shiny beetle or weevil with a round shell. Insects with hard shells are generally harder to digest and are therefore avoided by some predators. Being shiny also helps them blend into the surroundings as their shape is less obvious, allowing them to avoid detection from above. These spiders are found in Papua New Guinea and Northern Australia.

Fun fact: Jumping spiders may be super intelligent, where they are able to recognise themselves in the mirror and count. Some might even have dreams when they sleep!

Alien butt spider (Bijoaraneus praesignis) © robertwhyte there is a wolf spider named after him. The sorting hat spider (Eriovixia griffindori) – with its scientific name taken from the house Gryffindor from the famous Harry Potter stories – has an abdomen that resembles the “sorting hat”. This spider most likely evolved its appearance to mimic a part of a plant but ended up with the appearance of a witch’s hat. This spider is found in India, with other members of the genus also found in Asia and Africa.

Pringles spider (Bijoaraneus mitificus) Is that an alien’s face on the spider’s butt? The alien butt spider or the outstanding orb weaver (Bijoaraneus praesignis) has a pattern on the abdomen that resembles an alien. This pattern might be used to scare off predators as they resemble eyes, mimicking a larger creature.

These spiders can be found along the east coast of Australia.

Pikachu spider (Micrathena sagittate) How about some free advertising on a spider?

The pringles spider (Bijoaraneus mitificus) belonging to the same genus as the alien butt spider, has a pattern that resembles Mr Pringles, featuring 2 beady, eyes and a moustache. They're more commonly known as the kidney garden spider and are found from Asia to Oceania.

Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt! Wait … that's not Pikachu the Pokemon! That is a pikachu spider.

The pikachu spider, or the arrow-shaped orb weaver (Micrathena sagittate), features long spikes and bright yellow coloration that resemble that of Pikachu’s ears. The spines deter predators making them harder to eat and digest, while the colour serves as a warning. The scientific name Micrathena, means small Athena, referring to the Greek goddess Athena, the goddess of warfare and wisdom.

Wing Him Moses Fu – Student at University of Qld (Environmental Science) Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated by the world of insects and other arthropods, which sparked my curiosity about their unique, yet complex ecology seen nowhere else in nature. I hope to share my vision with others, highlighting their beauty, importance and their role in the environment.

in the 1920s with a larger building using some of the original materials. It was initially named Hillcrest but renamed after Archbishop Halse in 1959 when the Anglican Church bought the property.

As part of the recent Sunshine Coast Open House program a walk and design talk was held at this beloved landmark, which still operates as Noosa’s longest serving guesthouse and the longest continuously operating guesthouse in SE Qld. Stories were shared at the open house event about its past, the processes behind the restoration, and how the guesthouse would continue to evolve.

Participants were given a chance to tour the property and discover how the nostalgic charm of the lodge is still preserved and at the same time blends with modern comfort. From restored timber floors, the original 1880s piano, walls adorned with historical Noosa photos, to interiors inspired by 1970s beach holidays, Halse Lodge celebrates its history and that of the Noosa area.

A glimpse of some of the guesthouse’s 14 dorms, 12 double suites and 2 private suites was included on the tour. The original timber floors have been retained and carefully restored, with cork flooring tiles the chosen medium to be used in areas without original timber.

The main dining hall has been transformed into an extended bar, with a restored vintage record player and speakers included. Soundproofing, insulation, heating and cooling as well as keyless door locks were some of the priorities in modernising the timber buildings.

Halse Lodge aims to provide short-term affordable accommodation, targeting the backpacker market, and has communal spaces which invite guests to connect with fellow travellers. Weekly activities include walks in the nearby National Park, yoga on the deck, pingpong competitions, and nights of classic vinyl and live music.

The Halse Lodge bar and restaurant are open to the public, so next time you go for a swim at Noosa Main Beach pop into Halse Lodge for a step back in time. Wendy Birrell

Moon Mountain Sanctuary Moon Mountain Sanctuary in Eumundi was one of the homes featured at the recent Sunshine Coast Open House. Set on a 25-hectare farm, Moon Mountain Sanctuary integrates home, horses and habitat. Owners Lynn and Ron Scott shared their vision of rewilding horses alongside a vibrant sculpture park, that aims to foster harmony between people, animals, art and landscape. It is a legacy based on thinking about lifestyle farms in a way that celebrates the contribution of people, art, nature, and animals, all guided by rewilding principles.

HISTORY

Lest we forget that ...

During WWII 10,000 Australians were stationed on the North Coast of Brisbane – now known as the Sunshine Coast – to defend against an anticipated Japanese invasion. Despite the fact there was no “action” here these troops were highly active, training and preparing for combat to defend the beaches south of the Great Barrier Reef. Tragically, 27 Australians lost their lives during these operations, and most are buried at Woombye Cemetery.

Local residents Ron and Betty Sutton have spent years researching the region’s wartime history, connecting their childhood memories to the broader national and global story. Ron recently shared his findings at the Cooroy RSL, highlighting how deeply the civilian population supported the armed forces. Many divisions – both Australians and Americans – were deployed above the “Brisbane Line” (never officially defined) to protect our beaches, and for jungle training and acclimatisation in preparation for the battle of Kokoda. The pivotal Kokoda campaign was a turning point in the war

for Australia. Acres of land were used to build trenches and create practice combat sites, so our troops were fit and ready for action.

The concentration of this activity is in places we commonly drive through and would otherwise think had barely been touched by war. For instance, the rusty lorry in North Arm is an original one from that era, and one of thousands that were based in our region. One of the fuel depots was right next to the Sutton family’s property. Cooroy Primary School hosted a detachment of water and military police, and there were 7 sites around Eumundi including fuel depots, a field punishment centre and a firing range. Noosa Beach and Noosa River were used for amphibious vehicle training. Sunrise Rd had the division ordinance workshops to keep the guns aimed at the sea maintained. Local halls such as Belli Park Hall became mess halls, and farmers collected food scraps to feed pigs, which in turn fed the 10,0000 servicemen. Ron recalls some of his most chilling memories were the searchlights sweeping the night sky looking for enemy aircraft, and the bank manager learning to identify enemy planes after work to help identify potential threats.

Why does this matter today? Learning this history filled me with the most wonderful sense of pride in how our country and community came together in a time of need. It’s a reminder that no matter how safe we feel in our special place in paradise, we may need to come together again to face new global challenges – probably very different to the previous ones. Knowing what we have achieved before gives me heart to think that if needed, we can do it!

Out and about with “Macca” Ian McNamara – affectionately known as “Macca” – delighted crowds during his live ABC broadcast

from Lions Park, Noosaville on 19 October. It was a special occasion, as Macca was last on the Sunshine Coast over 20 years ago, where he broadcast from the King of the Mountain event in Pomona.

Listeners, many of whom were mature-aged, were delighted to join in as he talked to his audience, along with taking live phone calls from around Australia, as he does every Sunday morning from 5.30-10am.

When we travel from the Sunshine Coast to Sydney and leave early on a Sunday morning, we always tune in to the ABC to catch Macca’s broadcast. It is wonderful to hear about the many and varied country towns, along with their current events and happenings. Barb Harvison

Cont. from p21 other had private booths with bench seating and a table – ideal for family groups and perfect for the Harry Potter themed trips. At Amamoor Station, the band was a highlight, playing some oldies but goodies. The singalong cemented a desire in some of the ladies to investigate joining the Eumundi Choir that sings at the Eumundi QCWA Hall.

Nostalgia was the name of the game – with comments such as, “I remember the smell of the coal and steam”, “I love the timber and all the old wrought iron” and “I used to travel in one of these to school and on holidays.” The adventure ended with lunch served in the refreshment room. All agreed it was a very pleasant way to spend a slow Sunday morning getting to know more ladies from Eumundi. Janet Millington

Who was that guy?

For more than 400 years, Guy Fawkes Night on 5 November has been a huge celebration across England. Whole neighbourhoods came together, with their bonfires joining the countless others blazing across England.

In my youth, most took place on the “common” (community parkland) where local fairs happened, and kids had kicked balls since the Middle Ages. From mid-October, people piled old furniture, tree branches and junk on the

chosen site. Excitement grew as the bonfire got higher each day.

Children made life-sized dummies out of old clothes stuffed with paper and rags. For weeks, they rattled tins at passers-by collecting “pennies for the guy” to buy fireworks. In 1955 I collected the most, along with a good hiding from my mum. My ‘guy’ was my little brother, dressed in Grandad’s old suit and trilby hat, sitting in his pushchair outside the pub.

ICont. from p27 I remember that at about 4pm – when night approaches in England – everyone gathered excitedly with potatoes wrapped in foil, sausages on long forks, and marshmallows on sticks ready to toast. A huge cheer announced the fire was lit, and ‘guys’ were martyred in the inferno. Mum held onto my brother.

Then came fireworks – no big displays – just penny bungers, Catherine wheels and threepenny rockets. Everyone chanted, “Please to remember the 5th of November. Gunpowder, treason and plot.”

In high school, I learned it started with Catholic dissidents trying to kill King James I in Parliament.

But who was “Guy”? There were 18 conspirators but only “Guy” is remembered.

Guy Fawkes was born in 1570 in York to Protestant parents. After Guy Fawkes’ father died in 1579, he was raised by his stepfather who was a devout Catholic, which was forbidden at the time. Family members caught harbouring priests were imprisoned and even executed for their faith. After school, Guy left England to fight

28

for Catholic Spain against the Protestant Dutch, calling himself Guido.

In 1604, Robert Catesby gathered Catholic supporters at The Duck and Drake Inn to plot the assassination of King James I, hoping to replace him with his daughter Princess Elizabeth.

Another conspirator Thomas Wintour was sent to find help from Spain. Although Spain refused, he met Guy who was by then an enthusiastic gunpowder expert who joined the plot.

Conspirator Thomas Percy, became a ‘gentleman pensioner’ having access to the house of the King’s ‘Keeper of the Wardrobe.’ Guy, now called John Johnson, was installed as caretaker. The landlord also owned a cellar underneath the House of Lords. That lease was bought to store gunpowder.

The plan was set for the 1605 opening of Parliament. Guy was set to light a slow fuse before escaping, however some plotters had consciences about killing some of the attending Catholic members of Parliament. An anonymous letter advising Lord Monteagle to have a ‘sickie’ on 5 November was shown to the King, and Guy was caught by Yeoman Warders from the Tower of London.

Under torture Guy revealed the other conspirators. On 27 January 1607, he watched 7 others die before his own brutal execution.

Since 1605, bonfires have marked the survival of King James I and the failure of the Gunpowder Plot. The word ‘guy’ became known as a term for any man, and political protesters now wear masks depicting his bearded face. At least you know who that guy was!

ON THIS DAY OCTOBER 2025

Daniel Morcombe Foundation Even if you didn’t live on the Sunshine Coast in 2003, you would have heard of 13yo Daniel Morcombe following his disappearance while waiting for a bus near his Sunshine Coast home. He was not found until 2011 when it was confirmed he had been abducted and murdered.

From day one, Daniel’s parents Bruce and Denise Morcombe relentlessly searched for him, working closely with police. In 2005, they established the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.

Denise Morcombe said, “We formed the foundation not only to keep Daniel’s innocence alive and to honour our son, but to help other families from ever having this nightmare happen to them. Our objectives are to keep an ongoing awareness program for child safety, help other victims of crime where children are involved, and to keep the community vigilant on crimes against our children. Children are our future and must be protected.”

The Daniel Morcombe Foundation is now 20 years old and one of Australia’s largest child safety organisations. A special Day for Daniel is held each year on the last Friday in October, which this year falls on 31 October. The day reinforces the vital message that keeping kids safe is a responsibility we all share: parents, carers, educators, businesses … the entire community. People are encouraged to wear red – the colour of the shirt Daniel was wearing on the day of his disappearance.
