Knowing your place

S

oMetiMeS it SNoWS in April, according to the late musician Prince, but no chance of that in our neck of the woods! (For more on climate change, head to our Letters page…)

After a hot and humid March, i welcomed the recent grey skies and steady drizzle. i’m looking forward to the promise of bonfires and hot cocoa (or red wine) on the weekends ahead. How about you?

My last few weeks have been busy with the Zonta Woman of the Year Award event, a fundraising High tea for the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre, and a Futures Workshop, where locals came with great ideas to energise and improve elements of beautiful Montville village.

Add to that a great gig at Finbars, free cake from Nambour’s Husk and Honey and an Ht catch up at Flaxton Gardens – i was on a roll!

Amongst all this, i bumped into Pat Habner in Woombye, the recent winner of the Zonta award. As we talked, Pat said something that stuck with me.

“Some people don’t just have a job, they have a place, a place where they do good.” it made me pause to consider my friends, and the work they do. Some are artists, creating beauty and joy through

their painting, words and music; some work in service industries where they bring comfort, pleasure, education and sustenance, others work with medicine or natural therapies, bringing healing, relief and guidance. in fact, even if it’s not in a job, most people have a place where they do good. Mothers, fathers and carers who support, encourage and love the future generations, retirees, who bring wisdom and experience to the table (usually with some excellent stories involved). there are volunteers who work with those in need or care for unwanted animals, environmentalists who tirelessly nurture our hinterland, farmers who grow crops for us to be able to eat, and friends who help us keep perspective, offload, or just have a good laugh!

My place is here. in a role that involves celebrating and highlighting people’s passions and life stories (and believe me, everyone has a story worth telling). Heading up a paper where, as much as possible, we share the positive things happening in the wider community. in a position where, i hope, i can do good.

The

Wonder of Wood Above: Previous graduates of Brian Jones's workshops show off their creations

Started in 1996, the Maleny Wood Expo was the brainchild of Queensland ranger and passionate Landcare supporter, Ashley Sewell.

Designed to promote sustainable use of our beautiful native timbers through the work of local and regional wood artisans, the Expo is now recognised as one of the best wood shows in Australia.

T

HiS YeAr At tHe MALeNY Wood exPo, it’s all about tapping into your creative side. What will you make? there’s an exciting choice of workshops and projects to suit everyone, from age four to 104.

He triPLe J Unearthed website quotes Andrew Forest describing Carolyna Lovely as ‘the greatest rock star you’ve never heard of’, to Bob Geldof!

Luckily for us, Carolyna is a well-known local on the music scene, including the Maleny Music Festival.

She loves to perform in Australia with her band Lovely Bones, but also tours Canada with session players from across the country, and is a much sought after guest for radio, podcasts, festivals and theatre shows. “i’ll be touring North America in April 2020 to promote my next album, which is in pre-production at my studio,” smiled Carolyna.

A prolific producer and performer of alternative countryrock and soulful blues music, she currently has six albums and 91 singles, and a live dVd under her belt, along with 30 years of writing, recording and touring experience.

As the owner of Bedrock Location & Editing Suite just outside of Maleny, Carolyna produces her own and other artists' work, is a voice-over artist and engineer, and records sound effects and ambient noise for film and television.

Growing up in Kingston on the Great Lakes in ontario, Carolyna was surrounded by music all her life.

“My mother played and wrote music and i remember writing songs with her when i was only seven,” shared Carolyna.

“As soon as i left home i went walkabout. i knew i could make enough with my guitar to get by. So, i stole my mum’s car and went to Nashville. i was very happy with what i learned in Nashville, and some of those lessons have stayed with me.

“But,” Carolyna continued, “i also learned that being a long-legged, 22-year-old blonde girl often got you the wrong kind of attention. “i wanted it to be about my work, which in some circumstances it wasn’t. So i steered away from that part of the music industry and found the people underneath that layer who were there making really good music, all different kinds of music. “they were producing albums, with the best voices and

talent in the world. All i had to do was pay attention. “i also had a few people looking out for me who helped me make good decisions,� Carolyna admitted. “i didn’t want fame over what i wanted to do for my whole life. it wasn’t more important than the music.�

From there she moved to Vancouver to continue her journey. “the difference in weather from ontario to Vancouver is extreme. i never saw snow the ten years i lived in Vancouver and i didn’t miss it,� she said with a wry laugh. “though i miss it now, while it has been so hot here.� it was music that brought Carolyna to Australia’s shores and she lived and worked in Sydney in the early '90s, for four years, with power-pop band eVe, before returning to Canada then to Los Angeles to pursue a publishing contract with a US company who she still provides music for today.

Carolyna returned to Australia in 2010 as part of a documentary crew for Andrew Forest’s Generation one campaign, a project to help Aboriginal Australia and Wider Australia bridge the gap between one another’s understanding. “it was an incredible learning experience for me and a very interesting project to work on,� she said thoughtfully.

Post filming, Carolyna stayed in the hinterland for some holiday time, which led to her discovery of “heaven� as she puts it. Ultimately it was love that kept her here. “this is home now, it’s where i breathe out and let everything go. i love living here. i love my little family and the cows and horses, as well as the home we have made together. i love the friends i have here and the incredibly artistic community we have here in the hinterland.� recently Carolyna has been drawn back to film and is producing a series of interviews called ‘What I know now’: A Storyteller’s Documentary, where she interviews the elders of our artistic community. With a small grant from rAdF she plans to place the film in festivals throughout Australia. “this film is an exploration of some of the older people in our community who are doing amazing things with such joy. they are working on their passion projects. they are 65, 70 and older and they are putting their work out there and it’s local, national and global - in some cases. “it is so inspiring to hear these stories and i wanted to capture that and give it to the wider community,� she said with genuine enthusiasm. “i hope it offers a spark to someone.�

As if that wasn’t enough, Carolyna owns The Holistic Brain-Body Centre, and is a qualified Naturopathic

Nutritional therapist and has additional diplomas in pilates, yoga, herbalism, and now horticulture. “i’ve studied since i left school and my recent horticulture qualification will allow me to grow and develop the raw product for my other love - organic skin care products,� she said. “excitingly i’m just about to re-brand my products as simply, ‘Lovely’, featuring products for women under ‘She’s So Lovely’ and for men under ‘He’s So Lovely’. the new site should be operating by August.�

With new music, a new film and a new organic skin care range, who knows what might come next? one thing is certain, Carolyna is happy to grab onto those opportunities and let them take her for a ride.

As ANZAC Day approaches, Lyn Gurney will have been preparing herself and her horses, Bella and Ollie, for many months. Parade appearances as a member of the 5th Light Horse Regiment: Maleny Troop, is Lyn’s way of honouring the fallen men and horses of World War I.

S A SerGeANt in the Maleny 5th Light Horse regiment for over 15 years, Lyn Gurney has polished plenty of brass and leather, but getting the gear ready for the big day is only a small part of the preparation behind a parade appearance. the Light Horse kits are original where available, with authentic replicas making up the rest. the saddles, bridles and rider’s tunics are as exact as possible.

Lyn and her daughter Karen are long-term members of the Maleny 5th Light Horse regiment and their duties have taken them all over the Sunshine Coast. “Working with members from the Woombye and Gympie regiments, we participate in parades, school visits, aged care home visits; and we also took part in the Centenary over the Story Bridge in September 2014 that formed ride part of the riverfire Celebrations,� shared Lyn. Marking the 100 year anniversary of the beginning of troop movements for World War i, the ride of 100 horses commemorated the men and horses who mustered through the early morning streets of Brisbane to get to the ships at Pinkenbah in 1914. “it was wonderful. it’s hard to describe the feeling of riding with so many others, all in formation, crossing the bridge. the sound of the horses shoes on the bitumen ricocheting around the buildings and the little sparks we could see in the dark,� Lyn enthused. “i’ll never forget that. it made all those horses and men who made that journey a hundred years ago, feel very close.� the Light Horse regiments were used as fast-moving infantry and engaged in combat dismounted. the exception was the charge of the 4th and 12th Light Horse regiments at Beersheba on october 31, 1917, where the horses were ridden into combat in a cavalry style. the

Beersheba Campaign is seen as the turning point of the war in the Middle east. the mounted men also made excellent scouts, longrange patrols and raiding parties, often spearheading advancing forces. the Beersheba Military Museum stands proudly on the precinct in Maleny, as many of the troops originated from the surrounding area. “the horses used by the Light Horse regiments were known as Walers,� said Lyn. “they were a particularly hardy breed that could work in rough, dry conditions on less feed and water than other breeds at the time. “the name Walers came from their New South Wales point of origin, although many of the horses were bred in Queensland and Victoria too.� overall the British Military took 136,000 horses from Australia in World War i including heavy and light horses.

Many were lost to starvation, disease and in battle. the remaining 11,000 horses were used as military mounts in British india and for the Mounted Police Force. they could

not be returned home due to quarantine restrictions.

However, it is the desire to preserve the memory of those men who made such sacrifices that sees the 5th Light Horse regiment Maleny troop gather for training on the last Saturday of each month next to the Beersheba Living Museum. today, the horses are trained for parades and to work in sets of four. While remaining in formation is a big part of the training, the bigger focus is on teaching a horse to remain calm in a crowded situation.

“Clapping is the biggest thing a horse needs to tolerate,” Lyn shared. “they find it quite unnerving as it stops them from hearing other threats. An animal built for flight relies on their hearing to keep themselves safe. “the other part of parade training is around tolerating aircraft noise. You don’t want an animal this size to bolt through the crowd,” Lyn said wryly, “though, there is nothing better than when a horse decides he trusts you.

“i’ve ridden horses since i was twoyears-old as i grew up on a farm in the Beaudesert area. i’ve always loved being on the land and i’ve always had horses and dogs. “it’s so important to keep the ANZAC spirit alive, and being on my horse in the parade is such a great feeling. ANZAC day itself is growing. “it’s such a proud moment when you go past the people on your horse. You know you and your horse are both turned out the best you can be - the applause gets noticeably louder for the horses,” Lyn said with pride.

“But ANZAC day is for everyone. it’s important to keep it what it is today, to honour the memory of the fallen and to maintain the pride in military service that is a big part of who we are as Australians.”

Lyn paused, before adding, “i don’t like to say it, but our members are growing older and we can’t keep doing this forever - as much as we want to.

“We need to increase our numbers if we are going to continue to appear with the horses at ANZAC day Parades. it would be nice to hand the baton forward to younger people and allow them to experience everything we have been representing,” she said with a smile.

Anyone interested in the 5th Light Horse Maleny troop is urged to call Sergeant Lyn Gurney 5499 9660 (evenings) or troop Commander rob Weary 0422 66 842.

An African

adventure

A childhood spent fantasising about living in the wilds of Africa, inspired by TV shows On Safari and Daktari, was the original motivation behind Leigh Findlay’s decision to spend six months as a volunteer, monitoring chimpanzee behaviour with the Jane Goodall Institute in the steamy forests of Senegal, West Africa.

iKe MANY CHiLdreN, Leigh loved animals from a very early age. But it wasn’t the usual furry kitten, playful puppy or chirpy budgie that held her fascination – it was wildlife that piqued her curiosity.

After Leigh finished school, she acquired a degree in Veterinary Science and a doctorate working on native Australian wallabies. She then worked in various veterinary practices – including her own – for the next ten years.

Many years after reading Jane Goodall’s In the Shadow of Man, a comprehensive field study of chimpanzees in tanzania, Africa, Leigh signed up as a member of the Jane Goodall institute. the institute supports research and the conservation of the great apes and the natural world. “i was particularly attracted to the philosophy of the institute, which has the acronym of APe – animals, people, environment. they believe that in order to make a difference in conservation, you have to involve those three aspects; otherwise it won’t be successful. that really resonated with me,” says Leigh. responding to the institute’s call for volunteers to help with the chimpanzee research program in Senegal, Leigh’s indomitable spirit fired into action. the chimpanzees in Senegal are a rare subspecies not found anywhere else in the world. the all-too-familiar story of disappearing habitats and food sources, coupled with the increasing trespass and competition for land by humans, means these chimps are in danger of becoming extinct. in mid-2018, forewarned that her time in Senegal would mean extreme heat, monotonous food, no home comforts, and isolation from friends and family – all compounded by language barriers – Leigh embarked on what she calls a ‘bucket list adventure’. “the capital of Senegal is dakar, that’s where i flew into,” says Leigh. “the closest town to the research centre is

Kedougou, a 15-hour ride from dakar on an overloaded bus. then a 1.5-hour ride to the little village near the research centre over a dirt track with huge potholes in a 4wheel drive that had definitely seen better days!” she laughs.

Upon arrival, Leigh was hosted by a Senegalese family, though she had her own accommodation in a hut called a ‘sudu’. “it was a lovely little house, just a one-room house… it had mud-concrete walls and a concrete floor and thatched roof, and i was very lucky because i had an outside sitdown toilet! Most of the toilets are holes in the ground with pieces of concrete on either side where you put your feet while squatting. “it was very ingenious, an old 20-litre plastic bucket with the bottom cut out and surrounded by concrete.

“And your shower was a couple of kettles of cold water that you poured over yourself. You wet yourself with the first one, soaped up, and then rinsed off with the second one. But the cold water was usually welcome because it was so hot! “it was challenging, especially the local food,” grimaces Leigh. the meals were mostly based on rice with a sauce or a small quantity of vegetables.

Conjuring up an image of rustic African bush tucker, i ask Leigh about the vegetables.

She stifles a chuckle and replies: “We’re talking about one small piece of carrot and one small piece of eggplant and a piece of this local vegetable, a sort of bitter melon. if it has the bejesus cooked out of it, it’s almost edible!” if she was lucky, Leigh’s host family would make a sauce out of peanuts which were grown locally, but sometimes the sauce was simply made from leaves of particular trees. “the sauce had a most unfortunate colour.”

As part of the daily research, the volunteers would head out into the forest with local research assistants, looking for signs of chimpanzee activity – where they ate or slept, noting their daily movements and any vital evidence such as pieces of food or droppings.

But the observers needed to maintain a substantial distance from the animals. Sharing her professional knowledge, Leigh explains that by getting too close to the chimps, they lose their fear of humans.

While in Senegal, Leigh observed the chimps in their natural habitat

Jane Goodall Institute volunteers: Leigh, Amadou and Salam listening for chimps calling in the valley

“that makes it easy for ill-intentioned people to do them harm. they can also catch human diseases and it potentially alters the chimps’ behaviour.” the volunteers don’t just record the behaviour of the chimps, they look at the species of trees that provide shelter and the types of fruit they eat. intriguingly, the locals are somewhat afraid of the chimps and don’t seek to harm them; the Senegalese believe that chimpanzees are the spirits of their ancestors. these rare creatures have an uncertain future as their habitat faces destruction to make way for things like power lines. they also have appeal as a tourist attraction, which can manifest into the temptation of financial rewards for locals.

As for Leigh, the adventure and temporary discomfort were worth it because, besides working with the chimps, she became friends with many local people and young volunteers from other cultures who enriched her life.

Having now crossed that off her bucket list, she is surrendering herself to the universe to “see where life is going to take me next.”

Italian POWs in Montville T h e stor y c ont inu e s In February 2018, the Hinterland Times published an article, Rations and Song, on Italian POWs serving on farms around Montville from 1944 to 1945.

The story was written by the Montville History Group and was based on early research and incomplete information.

The article concluded with a request for additional information to flesh out this largely forgotten chapter of Montville’s history.

I

N JANUArY 2019, Giuseppe Mazzei, contacted the historical group from italy. He had read the rations and Song story in the Hinterland times and was contacting us to share information on his grandfather, Pietro Basile, who served on e.e.

(Artie) Glover’s fruit farm from March 1944 to January 1945. (Congratulations Hinterland Times, you now have an international readership!)

Artie was a fruit farmer along Mill Hill road from the late 1930s until the 1970s. He moved to Montville from Yandina in 1933. Artie worked for Cliff dart to gain knowledge of fruit growing and farm management and purchased his own farm on Mill Hill road from Jim ruddy in 1939. in 1942 he married ruth Madeline (Madge) ruddy, so Madge returned to her childhood home at what is now 82 Mill Hill road.

Artie applied for italian PoWs to be assigned to the Mill Hill Farm and between 1944 and 1945, four pairs of PoWs were assigned to Artie with one Pietro Basile working at the farm for over nine months.

Giuseppe’s family found Pietro’s ‘secret’ diary of his PoW experiences in Australia after the death of his grandmother in 2004, and the Montville link had led him to the Hinterland Times and then to us. (Apparently it was forbidden for PoWs to keep diaries.) He is translating Pietro’s diary and the information he is sharing has been invaluable.

We now know that Pietro’s PoW journey took him to india, Cowra, Brisbane and Nambour to finally arrive at Artie Glover’s farm in Montville on March 15, 1944. We also now understand that farms had to take a minimum of two PoWs with a maximum of three. An ettore Zangatesi was assigned to the farm with Pietro.

Pietro thought Mr Glover might have been disappointed because he had hoped for two “strong and skilled farmers”, something Pietro and ettore weren’t. in fact, Pietro writes that ettore was a musician, so he could well have been the

tenor whose powerful voice Les Farmer recalls hearing at night in ‘tinned Peaches’: although Artie’s wife, Madge, recalls that “the two at the house at the top of the hill (probably Cliff dart’s farm opposite the Glover’s) were real opera singers” in the Centenary History of the Montville State School.

Pietro and ettore lived in a small three-roomed wooden cabin with minimal furniture, most likely a worker’s cottage on Glover’s property at the end of Mill Hill road. on June 1, ettore requested a transfer from Glover’s farm on the grounds of personality conflict with Pietro.

Clearly, PoWs had rights which were honoured by the army, including the right to request transfers. He was replaced by Francesco telesi who only stayed until october when he was

BEWARE THE DIGITAL FOOTPRINT! In the old days (before the Internet) properties were predominantly marketed in newspapers, agent’s windows and by signs. A property owner could “test the market” and if they didn’t like !"#$"%&' (# !")#*+&',# -."# !"#/$+/"$ )#+0# !"# market with very little harm to the value of the property.

The old saying “nothing is as useless as yesterday’s newspapers” meant that a property’s history was not easily traceable.

The main Internet advertising portals now are Realestate.com.au and Domain.com.au and all advertising & known property information is collected and is an easily accessible pool of information for Buyers and Sellers.

Fruit farmer Artie with eldest son Terry

replaced with Umberto Pietronigro. one of the reasons Pietro stayed on at Glover’s farm was because he had met and befriended a one-year-old “land army” volunteer, ethel Lilian Love, who was also placed on the farm.

As essentially co-workers on the farm, it is quite likely that the two developed a close working relationship despite a strict anti-fraternisation policy. ethel’s descendants tell us that she was a shy teenager and enjoyed Pietro’s company – learning italian from him.

However, Pietro did request a transfer due to deteriorating relations with Artie in January 1945 – being relocated to W. J. Atkinson’s farm in Palmwoods where he caught up with Francesco telesi. He was replaced by Pascale Serafini.

Although fraternisation was discouraged, Pietro noted that Mr Atkinson took them to the beach on January 29, 1945. He records they had a beautiful day swimming at “Maroochydore and Mooloolah-bah” with the Atkinson family including three of their children, thelma, Colie and Peter.

However, he also noted that Mr Atkinson was a hard task-master and enforced a strict no smoking policy

Madge and Arty with pines and citrus

during working hours despite the PoWs receiving a tobacco allowance.

Giuseppe’s contact has certainly encouraged us to keep pursuing the story of italian PoWs assigned to Montville farms. For us, we still have to determine the location of the old house on the hill on Cliff dart’s farm.

We have asked the National Archives to help us track down the missing id cards of these men and any other relevant records. We now understand that Australian farmers may have bent the ‘rules’ regarding how they treated the PoWs – sometimes to their benefit and at other times, not.

For Giuseppe and his family, the diary has allowed them to get to know a father and grandfather they never had the chance to meet. Pietro died before his daughter, Piera, Giuseppe’s mother, was born. the family is keen to learn more about Pietro’s experiences in Montville and we are keen to learn more about this part of our history, so we are hoping older Montvilleans can fill in some of the gaps and find old photos of the people, the farms and the buildings. once again, if anyone can add to this story, please contact Cate Patterson at cate.patterson@jayb.com.au

ANZAC Day Services

F

OR THOSE WHO don’t hail from the southern hemisphere, and may be visiting at this time, ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces became known as Anzacs, something that continues to this day.

In August 1914, Britain declared war on Germany, and Australia was automatically placed on the side of the Commonwealth. In 1915 Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula in order to open the Dardanelles to the allied navies.

The Australian and New Zealand forces landed on Gallipoli on April 25, meeting fierce resistance from the Ottoman Turkish defenders. The campaign dragged on for eight months. At the end of 1915 the allied forces were evacuated from the peninsula, and more than 8,000 Australian soldiers had died in the campaign.

Gallipoli had a profound impact on Australians at home, and April 25 became the day on which Australians remembered the sacrifice of those who died in the war.

ANZAC Day also served to commemorate the lives of Australians who died in the Second World War, and the meaning of the day has been further broadened since, to include those who lost their lives in all the military and peacekeeping operations in which Australia has been involved.

tALiAN Food ANd a convivial atmosphere are alive and well in Maleny, thanks to Cappriccios italian restaurant. the Venditti family has been serving up delicious pizza, pasta and much more for 25 years in this area, and for 16 years in Brisbane prior to that.

Now change is on the horizon, with owners, Sonya and Phil, stepping down for some well-deserved time for rest and travel. two of their children, tamara and dominic, have decided this is the perfect time to step up and take hold of the restaurant reins.

Catching up with them recently, it was good to find out a little more about the family behind this popular restaurant.

Phil migrated from the Abruzzo region in Southern italy when he was seven years old. “it was the ‘60s, and we lived in Gippsland, Victoria, where there is a big italian community,” explained Phil.

“We eventually moved to Brisbane and opened a restaurant called ‘Pizza Napoli’ in elizabeth Street behind Her Majesty’s theatre.”

Sonya, meanwhile, had moved here from oxford, england, with her family in 1968. in the ‘70s, she was working various

be a great opportunity - we thought ‘why not?’” tamara continued, “this is a family business and i want to continue the history and traditions. We have ideas brewing for the future. i’d like to make my own mozzarella, and we might make some wine!”

Phil laughed at this, “We used to make wine, which we distilled in those giant green bottles you can see about the place. You transfer the wine a few times to help with fermentation, before it’s ready to bottle. And all the fermentation at the bottom makes Grappa

jobs in Brisbane, including taking photographs of people at restaurants and clubs. “i would often go to a club called ‘Pinocchios’ to take photos, and this was how Phil and i met,” Sonya smiled. romance blossomed and in 1992 they were married.

So how did this city-based couple end up in the mountains of the Sunshine Coast?

“We used to come up here for visits,” said Phil, “the countryside is beautiful and green and reminded me of italy.

So, it wasn’t a hard decision to move here.”

Fast forward to the present, and it is clear they are still happy with the move, as are their children.

“We grew up in the restaurant,” said daughter tamara.

“And what’s lovely is that customers come here who have seen us grow from babies into adults with children of our own, and they are like extended family to us.” tamara’s brother, dominic agreed, “i have travelled europe and had many great experiences visiting the italian family and making wine in Sicily, but it’s great to come home to familiar faces in Maleny. When Mum and dad told us they were selling the business, tamara and i realised this would

afterwards,” he added with a twinkle in his eye. “there are no preservatives involved, so it tastes really good, but you only need two glasses!” warned tamara. dominic said he and tamara want to keep things authentic and respect the legacy of their parents. “our menu includes traditional italian meals and customers’ favourites, like Calzone, Steak Vesuvius, or ribs. We also have some new recipes ideas in the pipeline.”

Continuing the family affair, tamara and dominic’s cousin, daniel, will be joining them as a chef. “My husband will also be cooking,” shared tamara, “and my daughter and niece are waitressing.

“We have customers from 40 years ago who still make the pilgrimage from Brisbane to enjoy our italian family hospitality and cuisine.” the children are planning a send-off celebration for Phil and Sonya on April 8, before they start their next chapter.

“We’ll visit england,” said Sonya, “see some of my childhood memories.”

“then we’ll head to italy for a few months and see the family,” said Phil with a smile.

“We can take our time now - we’re leaving Cappriccios in good hands.”

Grain and glutenfree deliciousness in Nambour with Tashi, Johnny and Alisha

by Victoria McGuin

W

HENEVER I pop into Nambour, there is a cosy spot I always enjoy frequenting for a refuel and a decent coffee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Husk and Honey, the gluten and grain-free cafe in Queen Street.

The menu is full of tempting options, from a big brekky or vegan waffles, to green paw paw and chicken salad or Middle Eastern meatballs. I am not Coeliac or intolerant to various wheats, grains or dairy, but if you are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is the place to eat without worry!

My visit this week is timely, as Husk and Honey are celebrating their ten-year anniversary soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing yet,â&#x20AC;? laughs co-owner Johnny Collins (his wife Tashi Foulkes is the chef), â&#x20AC;&#x153;but keep an eye on our facebook page for an update!â&#x20AC;?

Johnny is originally from Cornwall, England, where he was running a juice/smoothie/espresso bar in Newquay.

Tashi was working at Jamie Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prestigious restaurant, 15, and would pop in for a drink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love through coffee,â&#x20AC;? smiles Johnny.

Four years later, the couple moved to Palmwoods, where Tashiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family live and grow tropical produce for florists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started adding to this with herbs, rocket and lettuce,â&#x20AC;? explains Johnny, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which led to us supplying Husk and Honey with our produce.â&#x20AC;?

The ex-owners decided it was time to retire and Johnny and Tashi, with their

background in hospitality, realised this would be a great opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We liked the idea that Coeliac people had somewhere to eat, and so added breakfast, keeping things grain free, and we only use seasonal and local produce. Everything is made on site from scratch with our own recipes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, we have a delivery of local Bunya nuts arriving today, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been thinking of what to do with them. Last year we made a delicious pesto to add to various dishes, but we may play around with ideas this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all unknown territory.â&#x20AC;?

The couple also have creative chef Alisha Eagle on the team, who they both describe as their â&#x20AC;&#x153;saving graceâ&#x20AC;?, especially when Johnny is away touring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his other passion is music and he occasionally tours the country playing bass guitar for various bands.

Husk and Honey has a loyal and regular clientele, although they suffered for a while when the hospital moved to Kawana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky though, as things picked up again.â&#x20AC;?

Once in a while, a new customer will arrive and make their presence known. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had this older gentleman come in who looked like a farmer, and I thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;uh oh, he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like our grain-free breadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have judged a book by the cover, as he called me over when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d finished his beef brisket and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is the best gluten-free meal Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever tasted, and

the roll tastes just like bread.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He was angling for me to give the recipe to his wife!â&#x20AC;?

The coffee is also excellent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our beans are from Tim Adams Coffee. He trades directly with farmers in Honduras, so goes to the farm, samples the produce and pays upfront.â&#x20AC;?

After enjoying my brunch and coffee, I prepare to leave this welcoming space and Tashi gives me a selection of cakes and biscuits to take home. I must admit, there are certainly perks to this job!

Cleaning up the

Obi

ArLY oN A Wet Sunday morning, over 50 like-minded people gathered to bring a positive change to this precious little corner of the world.

Last month, March 3 marked Clean Up Australia day nationwide, and the launch of a continuing effort to keep the obi obi Creek clean.

Born from the sight of one of Malenyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much-loved local platypus with a rubber band wrapped tightly around it (rescue efforts continue), resident artist Joanne turner felt that instead of merely feeling saddened by this, that she could actually make a difference to the local environment.

Upon researching the issue she found that while there were many worthwhile environmental groups in the area, there was nobody actually removing waste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What i needed, was a crew of problem solvers willing to pitch in and take action, rather than bemoan the problem and try to place it in someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inbox. Luckily, Maleny is filled with such individuals! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Barung Landcare has been a huge help with this effort, loaning and donating equipment and photocopying a million flyers to go in school bags and into local shops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;i also had a close crew of four others; Sara Peterson, Sammy ringer, Kim Holcroft and Fi emberton, who &DQ ZH SOHDVH FKDQJH WKH IROORZLQJ gave me great feedback, helped distribute flyers and co-ordinate the four clean up teams on the day.â&#x20AC;? $XWXPQ VSHOW ZURQJ Jo continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was especially great to see all the kids pitching in, they were absolute champions and so proud of their efforts, it was 0RQGD\ LV WKH WK QRW WK great to see us all come together to make this happen, and a strong reminder that small actions can make 6SDFH EHIRUH SP WR PDWFK WKH RWKHU GDVKHV a big difference.â&#x20AC;? the Clean Up the obi campaign will become a regular event, so if you missed out on the first one, make 8QGHU )HDWXULQJ ORFDOO\ KDQGPDGH FUDIWV FDQ LW sure you get to the next, on Sunday April 28, 7-9am, meeting outside Maleny Library.

Tea on Flaxton

Fashion and Flowers

iLL KitSoN, former Curator of the Museum of Lands and Mapping and Surveying in Brisbane, is trying to locate two large telescopes that were used on the Sunshine Coast between the 1930s and the 1970s. the first telescope was a four-and-a-half-inch ross equatorial refractor used by inigo Jones at his observatory ‘Chromhurst’, at Peachester. this telescope was previously used by Captain Henry o’reilly in the 1860s in his Brisbane observatory. Later, after his death in 1870, it was purchased by the Queensland Government for their observatory on Wickham terrace. in 1927 the telescope was loaned to inigo Jones by the Government, to assist him in the observation of sun spots which he used for the prediction of future weather patterns. the second telescope was a six-and-a-half-inch Cooke equatorial refractor that was used by Cedric deane in his observatory ‘rothley,’ at Caloundra in 1952. Cedric was a well-respected collector of insects and also a member of the local chess club. When Cedric moved to Montville in 1958, the insect collection and the telescope went with him. the telescope, however, has not been seen since Cedric’s death at Nambour in 1981.

Bill is looking for the telescopes or a photograph of them.

Probate means that the authenticity of the deceased person’s Will has been proven and confirms the Executor’s authority to administer the estate in accordance with the provisions of the Will.

The process of obtaining Probate allows others to object to the Will, and if there are any objections, to determine if the Will is valid, because it is always possible that: 1.

there was a later Will (which, if valid, would replace the older Will), or

2.

the Will was made at a time the deceased was not mentally competent to make a Will, or

3.

the Will was the result of fraud, mistake or “undue influence” or

4.

the Will was not properly “executed”, or

5.

the so-called Will is actually a forgery, or

6.

for some other reason the Will is not fully valid.

A source of great confusion to a lot of executors is the topic of Probate, what it means and when and why it is needed.

Obtaining a Grant of Probate means that the court has recognised that the Executor has the right to administer the deceased’s estate and also that the Executor has title to the assets of the deceased in his or her capacity as the legal representative of the estate.

“MAKING YOUR PLACE SPECIAL”

Being appointed as Executor of someone’s Will means that you are the person with the primary legal responsibility for the carrying out of the deceased’s wishes as noted in that person’s Will.

This ‘administration’ of the deceased’s estate involves winding up the deceased’s affairs and distributing the assets to the entitled beneficiaries.

Rotary to River Imbued with the mantra ‘to lead by example’, students at The River School, Maleny, are taking their environment and future seriously, honouring the philosophy that humans, plants, animals and the environment are vitally connected.

by Judy Fredriksen

F

oLLoWiNG oN FroM their winning display of a greenhouse and igloo made of recycled materials at the Kids in Action Conference (sponsored by the Sunshine Coast regional Council) in 2018, students from the river School have created a sustainable gardening project where each class is responsible for its own garden patch.

Upon hearing about the gardening program, Maleny rotary wanted to encourage the students further and offered to donate and erect a garden shed, giving the students a place to store their garden tools and wheelbarrow.

“We in rotary really enjoy people who are ‘hands on’ and want to make a change. We want to support schools,” said Maleny rotary President, Alan Wilson.

By donating the shed, labour and concrete for the shed’s base, the Maleny rotary Club was able to give the river School something that would be useful for generations to come. the gesture means the students can carry on looking after their beautiful gardens, a project they obviously have a passion for. “the creation and maintenance of the beautiful natural environment that surrounds our school is very special to all of us,” said Year 6 student Chloe Skull.

“We all benefit from the lush bushland, the beautiful trees that we climb and get shade from, the fruit trees that provide so much fruit for us to enjoy, and the gardens that produce both food and flowers.” the students have worked hard to remove stubborn lantana and weeds, replacing them with veggie patches, fruit trees, herbs, bush tucker plants, hardy natives and flowers. No pesticides are used; instead, all plants are protected by netting because wallabies and scrub turkeys are a pest at the river School.

Wood shavings are used to separate the vegetable gardens so there’s “no rough surfaces and it’s nice under foot” explains head gardener, student Milo Bateman, as he tends to a colourful patchwork of healthy corn, lettuce, beans, pumpkin, zucchini, beetroot and peas.

Seasonal fruit and vegetables are used to supplement the school’s tuck shop supplies.

As the students proudly showed the rotarians around the school, they eagerly shared their knowledge on sustainable horticultural practices.

With such enthusiasm, our future is in safe hands.

Protecting the Mary River Turtle

The Mary River ‘Punk Rocker’ turtle, found only in the Mary River catchment, is extremely vulnerable to introduced predators such as wild dogs, foxes, feral pigs and feral cats, which prey on the turtles and their eggs.

To protect this unique character landowners, Landcare groups and four councils are rolling out the Mary River Turtle Protection Program. It’s a joint effort to reduce feral animal numbers, fence nesting banks to minimise cattle trampling and protect the individual nests from predation.

Lighting the rodeo arena Lighting at the Kennedy Rodeo Arena, at Nambour Showgrounds has been upgraded to a standard that will allow State level competitions to be held in the arena.

The existing lighting poles have been replaced with taller, 23m poles and 200 lux lights. This is great news for the region’s many equestrian clubs who regularly use the arena for dressage, show jumping, and pony club events as well as the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show, 14-16 June this year.

Here’s to another 40 years Note from the Mayor With our fantastic climate and natural environment, it stands to reason that the Sunshine Coast is a community that loves to be outdoors and active.

Research suggests our region has some of the best health outcomes in the nation, while our great outdoors continues to attract growing numbers of local and international visitors for sporting events, conferences and holidays.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the fabulous month celebrating Eumundi Markets 40th anniversary.

Eumundi and market go hand in glove. From the town’s earliest days, when the main street boasted general stores, butcher shops, a bakery, saddler, blacksmith and auctioneers, to 1979 when three people set up stalls in the CWA Hall for eight visitors and $30 turn-over.

Today, 1.2 million visit the iconic markets each year and Eumundi remains the place for food, craft beer, entertainment, art and craft.

Council continues to invest in bikeways and coastal pathways and to protect our green space by adding to our environmental landholdings.

However you enjoy your lifestyle, the Sunshine Coast is the Healthy, Smart and Creative place to be.

Letters Climate fraud?

LIGHT RELIEF & LEUNIG Relax, read a few letters, enjoy a crossword and cartoon, and maybe put pen to paper (finger to keyboard) yourself!

We would love you to share your thoughts and experiences with us and Ht readers. email: editor@hinterlandtimes.com.au or write to Po Box 818, Maleny, Qld, 4552. Please include your name, email/address and location. Word limit is 200 and letters may be edited. As we are a monthly, please be aware we are unable to print date-sensitive letters.

irSt i CoNSider that 'man made' climate change and rising sea levels are a fraud and i am happy to debate these with you. Climate and weather are different things. i consider it irresponsible for teachers to be promoting their views (many of which hold left wing or greenie views) and scaring children who are too young to research the subject of climate change for themselves. our education standards have been slipping in recent years. teachers would serve their students better by concentrating on the 3 r’s instead of scaring young children.

Graeme Tosh, Maleny

the NASA website states that 97% or more of publishing scientists agree that climate warming trends over the past 100 years ‘are extremely likely due to human activities. in addition, most of the leading scientific organisations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position’. i would certainly believe a scientist over someone who has no qualifications or extensive experience in this field.

Many of us feel afraid right now, but the best thing we can do is keep on standing up for change, champion wind and solar power, plant more trees, grow our own produce, bulk buy using our own containers, etc. if we show our children by our example, they may just have a fighting chance.

HANK YoU For your February editorial, which touched on an issue so important to us now. i agree with you that every action, however small, is better than nothing. i also believe our children are rising up to the challenge and i have heard many teenagers express their frustration with the ‘adults’ who are not doing enough to implement energy changes. i also think it is vital that schools cover the environment and sustainable living but with positivity, practicality and hope, so that children feel empowered and galvanised, rather than worried and hopeless.

S USUAL, i enjoyed reading the latest edition of Ht, with its variety of interesting articles on a wide range of topics. rachel Aspinall (Mapleton Springs to the rescue, Feb 2019) mentioned the damage barbed wire can do to native animals and birds, and we at Maleny Golf Club agree. We have been progressively removing 100 years of barbed wire fencing from within and around the Golf Club’s lease in the former Armstrong Farm. there is now no barbed wire left within our lease, and on

HiNterLANd tiMeS – APriL 2019

my rough estimation, i believe we have removed around 20km of barbed wire. it was a huge and often dangerous task, but we do care about the environment, and felt it was important to do. i hope this is good news for the Aspinalls whose selfless generosity is inspiring.

Max Whitten, President, Maleny Golf Club

Barbaric barbed wire A member of the public (a lovely ‘bikie’) found a bat caught on barbed wire. He called the WiLVoS hotline and was advised to cover the bat with a towel until a qualified rescuer could attend. He didn’t have a towel, so look what he used. (Photo supplied by Sammy ringer.) When the WiLVoS rescuer arrived, he helped her to extricate the bat from the wire. Sadly, the bat didn’t make it.

Rachel and Phil Aspinall, Mapleton Springs B&B Editor’s note: we have recently had more letters about Mungo, but have no space this month, so hope to include them in the May edition.

Anzac Ghosts A Decade Hence

The shrill of the telephone, broke the babble of the television.

“Grandpa, on this solemn occasion, our school is parading behind the returned veteran."

"Only relatives with active service, can join the march with us.

I know you have medals, so can you help escort us?"

I prepared for the ANZAC Day dawning, which brought joy and sad mourning.

So on that cold crisp autumn morning, the sun glistened on medals adorning.

Some children on their right breast, proudly wore the glory of ancestors deceased.

Will we ever conquer the beast?

Can we ever live a life of peace?

Poets

CORNER

A pilot’s ode

IT’S INTOLERABLE...

The joy of flight (if it were known) is not the sound of take off nor the lofty drop from air to land the gentle turn below the clouds the sunset's thickening shroud.

It is proximity to death the subtle edge between the common and the odd the wonderment of threads between the daily and our gods the trespass into lands where we are stripped of breath and set free once again to ponder on our death and though the moment seems too bright, too sharp with thoughts of pain or worse; a failing in our flight we find a solace in the drifting light imagine we can touch the face of god and walk our daily life like angels living in delight

Nowadays, I find it’s rare to actually enjoy Travelling daily to your place of employ (Whether it’s by bus, tram, car or train) Ever since common courtesy began to wane.

Australian ghosts from the current war in Afghanistan, to the ancient Boer war in Zulu Land came to make their stand and just like us, follow the band With the small 6, 7, or an 8 year old, holding hands as we were told, I feel like the Pied Piper large and bold, as I march with them, being gathered into the fold.

Is this the scene of prophecy?

Do these children have their destiny etched in some foreign emergency, in wars that seem to have a continuous frequency?

Ten years from now, what will be done?

As for peace there appears to be none.

God, forgive us for what we have done.

I pray that these young, march to a different drum. © Kevin Ostila

Poetry is an arrangement of language, artistic word pictures that attempt to inspire imagination, evoke emotion and provoke humour. Poets are illustrators of words that create beauty and intensity, and the HT is proud to give them a platform.

It’s people who snuffle with whom I take issue.

Surely to goodness they could carry a tissue?

And malodorous people should surely desist From travelling with others. I really insist!

Driving myself is not the preferred mode With so many fools and idiots using the road.

It seems lack of road courtesy presents no bar To their having a licence or driving a car.

Rudeness, it seems, is not confined to transport.

Lack of respect for others is now a national sport.

Those queue jumpers are a right royal pain too When you’re patiently waiting, for food or the loo.

What about those who dial the wrong number?

Especially at night, disturbing your slumber.

Perhaps not so bad if they’re apologetic; But they get abusive and you get apoplectic.

ENTRANCED Delicate flames dancing into the night A sensual beauty of softness and light Whispering fragments held deep within As another log burns to slowly begin Bright coloured images crackle away Evoking a passion between night and day Feeling contentment with a small glass of red She pensively smiled - then headed to bed © Jan Hopkins

Many’s the time though, you’ll probably find, You can’t sleep; you’re going out of your mind Because your neighbours are loudly celebrating.

They don’t care that your walls are vibrating.

After much thought, I have the perfect solution.

I have moved to a cave; no more noise pollution.

No more smelly, snuffling, musical co-travellers.

No more rude callers, fools or late night revellers.

The roar of the surf is my constant companion; Squeaking bats and wildlife live in the next canyon.

I do have one request now that I live like a hermit…

Please bring me some earplugs on your next visit. © Sandy Gillis

Ne oF oUr MoSt common customer requests is for native plants that are good for attracting birds.

Unfortunately, most people’s exposure to native plants that are good for bringing in our feathered friends is from mainstream Australian native gardening books or tV and pushes the same small list of cultivar grevilleas, bottlebrushes and banksias. these plants are recommended whether you live in Hobart or darwin, Sydney or Perth (which may be great in making a book marketable nationwide) but takes little account of the diversity of our big country and its innumerable unique ecosystems.

All these plants attract Honey eaters, which are a group of birds that reach their greatest diversity in Australia, but also includes the Noisy Myna, highly social but also aggressive and domineering, who love what we’ve done with our native gardens and tend to scare and bully all the other birds away... on the Blackall range we are in what was mainly rainforest and tall eucalypt country. Many of our local birds are fruit eaters and fleshy fruit are a major means of dispersal for many of our rainforest plants.

We can help these often-uncommon birds to be able to move through the landscape again by using local native

Forest Heart Local Native Plant Nursery 20 Coral St, Maleny Phone: 5435 2193

plants in our gardens to recreate habitat and food sources.

Fortunately for the gardener and plant lover in general, many of these local fruit bearing plants also look great in the garden, so not only do the local wildlife get a good feed and are able to move through the landscape – but you get to choose from a great diversity of beautiful local native plants, for example Silky Myrtle (Decaspermum humille), rose Myrtle (Archirhodomyrtus beckleri) are fantastic shrubby hedge plants with beautiful foliage and flowers and fruit.

Quick-growing, bird feeders include the Koda (Ehretia acuminata), Native elderberry (Sambucus australasica), Celerywood (Polyscias elegans) and Native Mulberry (Pipturus argenteus). the few plants listed above are but a small sample of the hundreds of local beauties that could be listed if we had space and time…

Some of the birds you can expect to see in your garden with the addition of local natives include Catbirds, Bower Birds, Lewin’s Honeyeaters, Brown Cuckoo doves, emerald doves, Wonga Pidgeons, Silvereyes and if you plant a few Figs maybe even the rare Coxen’s Fig parrot!

Unfortunately the Coxens Fig Parrot appears to be on the brink of extinction due to habitat loss. So get busy planting local natives in your gardens and creating habitat corridors on your properties so we don’t lose any more local birds.

Maximising Diversity

M

AxiMiSiNG diVerSitY is often emphasised, and it does make a difference. We are incredibly fortunate up here in the Hinterland. We have a diverse population of people, animals and insects and diverse soils developed from a range of ancient rocks.

We can take advantage of different altitudes and aspects in our generally hilly country. As a result of all this, the area is known for its high biodiversity including the many, many plants on which largely everything else depends.

Barung of course, is particularly interested in the plants and stocks as great a diversity as possible. As we plant our gardens, revegetate our land, plant for habitat and do whatever is important to us, maximising diversity is one of the keys to success. trees large and small, shrubs, groundcovers and grasses are all important and provide multiple food sources for our insects, furry animals, reptiles, frogs and birds.

Sometimes a neighbour’s most successful plant simply won’t grow in your environment, but with a diverse planting it’s possible to find out what will grow for you in your patch of country and your soil.

the occasional failure is a learning exercise and some trees may not be long lived anyway. tubestock is not expensive!

Close planting at around 2m spacing will provide early canopy closure and reduce weed growth within a few years. the edges of a natural forest have species that like more light. Several act as edge sealers and replace the inevitable lantana. try some flowering and fruiting shrubs for the diversity of birds they will attract. open spaces require more maintenance but provide food for herbivores. A diversity of environments and plants makes any garden or property more interesting.

Should you have a dam or pond, that’s another opportunity to introduce even more diversity by planting a range of sedges and flowering water plants. even an old bathtub can support several species and attract frogs.

Use local species of course, but rest assured, that will not be a limiting factor.

Making bows and arrows at Wildlings Madeline V Photography

With the Easter holidays coming, we like to find activities for hinterland kids to share with you. One of our favourite programs comes from Wildlings Forest School, and the reason? They are all about old-fashioned childhood fun!

d

AiLY WorKSHoPS show children how to make bows and arrows, build rafts, make bush cubby houses and cook bush recipes over the fire, all while under the supervision of enthusiastic and experienced recreational educators. Children use real hand tools, get wet and muddy, climb trees and slide down a mud slide! What’s not to like?!

Ht caught up with co-founder, Nicki Farrell, who believes that Wildlings is vital for children.

“We never saw ourselves as activists when we started Wildlings Forest School,” Nicki shared. “in fact, i’ll be honest, it’s a term that still doesn’t sit comfortably with me - but that is what we have quickly, and unwittingly become. For we are protectors of childhood. We are protectors of children’s social, emotional and mental health.

“We help children manage their anxiety and depression.

We help children build resilience and grit. We are environmental activists; we help children learn to love their local environments in the hopes that they will want to protect it when they grow up. But most of all, we are protectors of play, and we will continue to fight for play...” the myth of Australians being great lovers of the outdoors is busted every time Wildlings run a program for schools. “over and over again, we find children who are uncomfortable getting wet, dirty and muddy. Many children are very uncoordinated in our environment, they are unable to navigate ground that is not flat. they trip, they slip, they

can’t walk through flat creek beds without falling in.

“Nothing that will cause major injuries, but as someone that gets to observe children on a daily basis, very concerning. our children are used to, conditioned even, to walking everywhere on safe, flat pathways.” recently, the Wildlings Forest School have had nearly 600 children through their Forest School Holiday Programs. two thirds of these have been schools attending for excursions as part of their Vacation Care Club. “overwhelmingly, the feedback from the schools has been how much children need this, not just for the activities but also for socialising together outdoors.”

Workshops are for all ages. drop off is available for children over seven years of age and children under seven will require parent/carer supervision. Siblings under four years are free.

Wildings Forest School holiday program is an all-weather event, so be sure to dress appropriately and bring an extra set of clothes as you will definitely get messy! Workshops run daily.

Please visit: wildlingsforestschool.com/bookings to book.

ARTIST PROFILE

Fragments

Within FrAGMeNtS WitHiN is a collection of ‘rescued assemblage’ artworks by Nambour artist Ken Munsie, on show at the old Ambo Gallery during April. the 40 works in the exhibition centre on Ken’s long time engagement with the genre of the artists’ books. rather like books, these immersive installations reveal chambers hidden behind closed doors which, when opened, invite the viewer to engage in intimate interactions with mysterious and complicated stories, reflecting an artist's fascination with life, death, rebirth and traces of past existences. the stories - rich in their complexity and fascinating in their mystery – are fueled by the artist’s desire to give new life and meaning to ‘rescued’ objects, found or resourced

in junk shops, flea markets, deserted farm outbuildings and estate sales. this exhibition is a body of work built with care and precision that will intrigue and delight audiences with its richness of visual and textural experiences, taking the viewer on a voyage of imagination to uncover the layered stories within both the opened and the closed chambers.

Ken explained to Ht, “My arts practice is based on one simple element - rescued materials - and using a combination of discarded elements such as old timber or rusted metal, i start with a pile of unrelated ‘stuff’ and slowly assemble them into individual artworks that can be read with imagination. “the idea of evolution frequently runs through my assemblage works as i explore the craft of communication between artist and viewer.” the old Ambo Gallery is in Nambour on the corner of Howard and William Streets and during the exhibition will be open seven days 10am to 3pm.

Fragments Within exhibition runs from April 5-28. www.kenmunsie.com

Blast from the past

Travelling North

Shoplifters

david Williamson’s play Travelling North premiered in 1979 at the Nimrod theatre, with John Bell directing. it very swiftly became an important play in the Australian canon. the production, which will be at the Maleny Playhouse, reveals Williamson's affectionate, emotional and insightful play, with its meddlesome neighbours and family wrangles.

Maleny Players veteran actor, Barry Harber, plays an aging Frank, together with Barbara thomas, a new member of the Maleny Players, with many years of acting experience under her wing, playing Frances his new-found younger partner.

Set in a 1940s radio station, Mystery in the Air is a hilarious original comedy written and acted by one of Australia’s best loved comedians, Michael Veitch, and his co-star Simon oats.

A much-loved fading star is feeling the heat from a dashing newcomer, as the comedy crosses politically correct boundaries, with drama in and out of the recording studio. tickets via malenyartscouncil.com or from the Maleny Visitors Centre.

The hills are alive…

And après-concert?

A splendid afternoon tea by the church guild, what else would you expect?

Kim’s program will include popular favourites such as On the street where you live, You raise me up, Danny Boy and much more.

Winner of the 2018 Cannes Palme d’or and directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, Shoplifters shows a family eke out a meagre living by shoplifting. Among other things, the film is a social realist perspective on the underside of affluent modern Japan.

When the family takes in a girl who seems to have been abused and abandoned, complications arise. Full of humour, charm, and finely-observed detail, the film avoids sentimentality as it proceeds to a surprising and deeply moving conclusion.

Saturday April 6, hosted by the Maleny Film Society at the Maleny Community Centre, doors open 6pm for optional sit-down dinner, movie starts at 7.15pm. to book visit: tix.malenyfilmsociety.info

The Children Act

Ooh La La!

A talented teenager with leukaemia needs a blood transfusion to save his life. He and his Jehovah’s Witness family refuse this but under the ‘Children Act’ in the UK, they can be overruled by the state. emma thompson plays the sensitive but dispassionate and scrupulous judge who must decide. one complication is that in a few months the boy will turn 18 and be free to choose. Another is that the judge’s own family life is at breaking point due to her devotion to her work. doors open at 2pm with tea, coffee and slices available, cash bar, movie starts at 2.30 pm, Saturday April 20. evening showing at 7.15pm, doors open at 6pm for optional sit-down dinner. to book visit: tix.malenyfilmsociety.info the Sunshine Coast French Film Festival launches in Noosa on Friday May 3, and on Sunday the festival moves over to the Majestic Cinema in Nambour with three movies. the young public and young-at-heart will enjoy Asterix and the Magic Potion, followed by The Ideal Palace, based on the remarkable true story of Joseph Ferdinand Cheval, a stunning and engrossing account of love and dedication.

We’ll end the day with Who You Think I Am, a beguiling story, part drama, part suspense, where lies are entangled with reality, a demonstration of Juliette Binoche phenomenal talent.

Between films, tapas and wine will be on offer at the Bison Bar. For details visit: afsunshinecoast.org.au

Eudlo Music Nights Festival this popular festival returns April 6 - 7 from 12pm Saturday through to 2pm on Sunday, encouraging locals, families and of course musicians to take part.

Music is the feature with two stages, but they also offer star-gazing, birdwatching, yoga, a maypole and salsa dancing session, children's activities, open mic, vocal and ukulele workshops and much more! this festival is a celebration of 1969’s Woodstock, and everyone is encouraged to get in the mood - there will be fashion parades with prizes, and of course the theme 1969!

Based on the novel by tim Winton, Breath is directed by, and stars Simon Baker, along with two teenage boys who had no acting experience and were chosen for their surfing skills! the lads live in a remote corner of Western Australia in the 1970s (before technology changed the lives of teenage boys forever) and are hungry for adventure. this need is met by a mysterious older surfer who pushes them to take risks that will have profound and lasting effects.

Playing Sunday April 14 at 4pm in the Verandah room behind the Maleny Community Centre, this is a free Maleny Film Society Members only screening. to become a member visit tix.malenyfilmsociety.info/Memberships

Hospital foundation for families

t

He HArd WorK of Sunshine Coast Health Foundation, Wishlist, has been felt across the hinterland in recent months with the charity providing Maleny Hospital and local families with important services and equipment. in early 2019, thanks to the generosity of Maleny iGA, Wishlist funded more than $3,000 worth of iPads for patients at Maleny Hospital requiring long-term care for decreased physical and cognitive function due to stroke, terminal illness or chronic disease.

Hospital Social Worker, Chantal Fichera, said the iPads will be a valuable tool to facilitate patient autonomy in recovery and wellbeing. “it’s about increasing social connectedness through contact with support groups and the outside world. the iPads will also improve quality of life for long-term patients through cognitive stimulation and creative therapy.”

Wishlist is also well on its way to providing hinterland families with an invaluable facility, with the construction of the House the Coast Built.

HiNterLANd tiMeS – APriL 2019

the six-bedroom house is currently being built within walking distance to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital to help ease the pressure of finding accommodation when a loved-one is critically unwell. A need known only too well by Beerwah grandmother, Anna deacon.

Anna’s nine-year-old granddaughter, Angel, is a regular visitor to the Sunshine Coast University Hospital children’s ward. in 2018, she was admitted more than 15 times.

Angel and her grandmother Anna Deacon

“i would never go too far from the hospital, so returning home to sleep while Angel was in the iCU was not an option.

“When i left for the hospital this time, i packed a pillow and blanket and planned to sleep in my car in the hospital car park. that way, i’d only be a few minutes away from Angel. “the Unit Manager asked what my plans were for the night. i told her i was going to sleep in my car. She said no.” instead, Anna was shown to the Parents’ retreat on the children’s ward – an apartment-style area within the ward that allows families to get some sleep in a comfortable space. “the Parents’ retreat was a godsend. it has a kitchenette, comfortable double beds, lounge area, television and a laundry. Proper sleep and clean clothes can make a huge difference during a tough time,” said Anna.

Fortunately, Anna accepted the offer of a night in the Parents’ retreat. “i got a call very late at night that Angel had woken and was distressed. thanks to the accommodation facility, i was just a few minutes away and could help her very quickly,” Anna said.

She was born blind, autistic and suffers ongoing bowel issues. But it doesn’t stop her smiling.

Wishlist Ceo, Lisa rowe, said Anna and Angel’s story is a common one.

the happy little girl was admitted to the Children’s intensive Care Unit late last year, leaving her grandmother, Anna, worried and unable to return to their home in Beerwah.

"these rooms provide the most ideal environment for families to relax and retreat from the clinical environment of the children's ward while still being close to their bedbound children. However, we know that there is a need for more accommodation like this.

Each year a group of local businesses at Glasshouse Mountains hold a fishing competition, raising funds for local children’s services through Wishlist, here is the Glasshouse Fishing Club

“Construction on the house began February 5 thanks to the generous Sunshine Coast community.

“As well as money raised from the 2018 92.7 MixFM’s Give Me 5 For Kids campaign and the Wishlist Spring Carnival, we’ve had more than 30 local businesses put their hand up to donate time and services to help Ausmar Homes build a home away from home for families doing it tough. “once complete, the home will feature six bedrooms and bathrooms and be designed to accommodate as many families as possible. “our goal is to keep families, like Anna and Kathy and Judy delivered over $1000 in donations, raised by the Mapleton Tavern with help from generous staff and patrons

Children’s Vision Learning to Learn Everyone, including children, has a different style. Some visual, some auditory, some tactile sense. Some children learn quickly, others more slowly.

It is well known that approximately 80% of learning comes through vision. But just because a child can see clearly at distance, e.g., the classroom whiteboard, that doesn’t mean they have good vision, especially as it relates to learning.

In my experience, most children can see the whiteboard clearly with their own eyes. But that doesn’t mean they have efficient vision at near. Most learning comes within arms length like reading and using computers. If there is some obstacle in the vision at near, then learning will not be optimal.

Reading and learning involve lots of visually demanding tasks and most involve having efficient internal and external eye muscles, e.g., focussing, eye movements and tracking, converging. Your child needs to have an efficient visual system at both distance and near to optimise learning.

At Paul Brown Maleny Optical, we have the skill and experience to provide a full comprehensive examination of your child’s eyes and make the appropriate recommendations.

So, it is in your child’s interest to have their eyes checked, allowing them to reach their full potential in the classroom and beyond.

Make an appointment today.

Till then, Paul Brown

HroUGHoUt tiMe, the human race has battled to convince others that their particular point of view is Wendy Rosenfeldt the right one. religious wars have been fought over whose God is the real thing, people have been burnt at the stake for expressing different beliefs and even Galileo spent his final years under house arrest for presenting the idea that the world was round at the time when the common perception was that it was flat.

How we see the world depends on our state of consciousness and until we are enlightened, there is a chance of ignorance to colour all our perceptions. At the fundamental level of life we are all connected. According to quantum physicists everything is just different fluctuations of super strings or vibrations of the same stuff. there are two ways to validate this assertion. one is to prove it through mathematical equations and technical experiments at the subatomic level and the other is to experience it in our own awareness. Vedic seers were able to cognise or experience this level of life and to actually live with this level of awareness.

When we transcend we have the experience of unboundedness, of this completely unified state but when we come out of meditation some of that fades. over time, with regular experience of this state of awareness we stabilise this, so at all times we are experiencing the unified

One thing leads to another

Y

oU MAY Be AWAre that health funds have deleted many therapies that were previously covered by and subsided by those funds. this no doubt will place some pressure on patients who are wanting to have greater choices of how they can support their health and wellbeing. included in these changes is the removal of Naturopathy which is an amazing and complex field of continuing study and research, designed to support and educate the patient into greater wellbeing. this leaves the patient with a few choices, pay that little bit extra to get the benefits they are used to from attending a natural therapy clinic, rely on the doctor who is suddenly put under more pressure by having to understand a field of treatment that is usually not included in their study, or look up the internet.

Whilst the internet might be an interesting way of researching information, it really is a platform that provides the stage for much disinformation. So care must be taken to check and cross check.

Herbs are potent, nutritional supplements can cause a doubling up of ingredients if more than one supplement is taken.

Naturopathic treatment often allows a longer consultation, giving patients time to discuss issues that might be helpful in

value of life while operating in the boundaries of daily existence. the more we live on this level the less mistakes we make, the less conflict we have in our lives because we are perceiving that everything and everyone around us is us, is conceived of the same stuff. We would no more create wars and arguments than we would go around hurting ourselves. it is a much more peaceful place to be than if we are twisted with the stress of past trauma, always expecting to be hurt or for problems to arise. However how we see the world is not just a conscious choice, rather it is determined by our past experience and levels of stress.

By changing our experience of life from that of difficulties, enemies and isolation we need to add in experiences of unity. the deep rest that accompanies the transcendental state spontaneously releases the stress and tension that cause us to view the world in a negative way.

So when we come out of meditation we still carry some of the experience of unity and therefore start to perceive that the world is a better place.

Wendy Rosenfeldt is a teacher of Transcendental Meditation and a Maharishi Ayurvedic health practitioner.

understanding what is contributing to health challenges.

Quite often supplements are not prescribed, instead correction to lifestyle and education on how to resolve stress patterns are the outcome of consultations. No doubt a balance will reestablish itself, patients will see what works for them and what doesn’t, and change is always part of life anyway.

Ultimately, we are moving into a time when our understanding of the human body is no longer just an understanding of organs and cells. Science tells us that we are the result of fluctuating fields of energy. these fields radiate or broadcast information into the world around us, through something that we might imagine is a unified field, sort of like WiFi, which we can’t see but which we have learnt to draw information from.

We are as much affected by this silent and often unobserved activity as we are by the physical actions that we take. All change presents us with positive possibilities and i’ve no doubt that we are moving into a time of recognising the effect our thoughts, feelings and emotions have on our health and wellbeing, and as frequency beings we are moving into a greater understanding of energy medicine.

etâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Be CLeAr about the Al Jazeera sting against one Nation: the drunken braggarts who fell for it deserved all they got and more.

We are used to Pauline Hansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atrocities, her long years exploiting the politics of resentment and paranoia among the gullible and disaffected, but this latest caper with the NrA and its financial backers to subvert Australian law is quite simply unforgivable.

However, having said that, as a journalist i must join Peter Greste and others in feeling a bit uneasy about the ethics of the operation. i have no problem with using subterfuge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the use of deception, including hidden cameras and microphones, in order

to expose activities that the participants would prefer hidden.

But becoming part of â&#x20AC;&#x201C; indeed, orchestrating â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the story rather than simply uncovering it and reporting it is going very close to the line. it is not illegal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to involve ASio, of all organisations, is as crazy as the rest of her agenda. And it can hardly be called entrapment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; James Ashby and Steve dixon went for the bait like a pair of rabid hyenas. they were more than willing participants of everything from the conspiracy to the Scotch.

But perhaps Al Jazeera would have been better to have kept a little further from direct involvement in the action. At least that would have avoided the distractions Hanson and her rough mates are offering as their excuses as they scramble for cover. the point is, of course, that whatever reservations i might have about the means, the end was that revealing the depravity in the two-part series is overwhelmingly in the public interest. it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sink Pauline Hanson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; decades have shown that her devoted fans will never be convinced that she is anything but a paragon, the messiah who will deliver them from whatever they are whingeing about at the time. But it must surely hurt her party and the so-called advisers, if only because they have been unmasked as buffoons. there is an old saying that you cannot con an honest man, which is why rodger Mullerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s con worked: Ashby and dickson knew perfectly well that what they were doing was utterly unacceptable, which is why they constantly urged secrecy and talked about ways of laundering the money they coveted.

But unacceptable is one Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s default position; that was the problem, even before the sauce started flowing.

What mattered was pure greed. Ashby has always been keen on making money out of Hanson and fancies himself as a master manipulator â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his behaviour is vile, but at least it is marginally rational. dickson, on the other hand, appears completely deranged â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the kind of political berserker who presents as a prime candidate for the men in white coats and big butterfly nets, or as a one Nation senator from Queensland on a ticket with Malcolm roberts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; take your pick. thus it was entirely predictable that once they were sprung they went straight to the NrA playbook: offence, offence, offence. even from Hansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tick-infested bunker, this was not helpful, so the supreme leader doubled down with her own appearance, in which the pair stood silently on each side of her as she ranted about, predictably, about islam and the ABC. this was at least what her base wanted to hear. What it did not want to hear was Scott Morrison, belatedly and reluctantly admitting that reprising Hansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20-year-old conspiratorial fantasy about Port Arthur in the wake of Christchurch had finally forced him to put one Nation below Labor on Liberal how-tovote cards.

Hanson said that would end his government. Well actually ScoMoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government was looking pretty moribund anyway, and it is unlikely to look any worse from (finally) a decision that can at least pretend to be decent.

But what will make it worse is, yet again, intransigence from the Nationals, who will not only ignore his ukase, but in many cases are preparing to embrace the party of racists and gun nuts with welcoming anti-democracy sausages.

(So is tony Abbott, in what might be called a courageous decision to encourage preferencing one Nation anywhere and everywhere, a somewhat bewildering tactic in Warringah). this is being spun as the Nats asserting their long-suppressed independence from their senior partners. Assuming some of them survive, they will have plenty of opportunities to be independent in opposition. the split not only reveals Morrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of authority â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we already knew that. But it draws attention to the fact that Morrison has played footsie with Hanson for so long that his sudden discovery that she is beyond the pale may be regarded as less than convincing., even by his close colleagues.

Since Christchurch, Morrison has decided that Moslem bashing is no longer a winning move, except to the basest of his base. But having indulged in the politics of fear and division and egged on others â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially Peter dutton, deeply unhappy about the one Nation ban â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for most of his political life, his conversion, while welcome, is best greeted with caution.

He is currently indignantly denying an old story that he once urged his cabinet colleagues to use prejudice against Moslems as an election tactic. the difficulty is that the story is entirely believable, given that ScoMo made his reputation from demonising and denigrating asylum seekers, and was still doing so a mere couple of weeks ago. the great healer he is not.

And that being the case, it was time to change the subject â&#x20AC;&#x201C; offence, offence, offence, the obvious target being the Greens. they were the real extremists, the clear and present danger. So the rust-bucket reactionaries of The Australian let loose with all guns blazing. true, one Nation tried to gain illegal funds from the American merchants of death to provide unlimited use of guns, subvert the democratic system and install their version of trumpian dystopia. Unacceptable, no doubt, but it really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter because it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen.

But the Greens â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they would ban new coal mines, bring asylum seekers to the mainland, implement a bill of rights and give lots of money to education, child care and the disabled; and, horror of horrors, they would pay for this communistic spending orgy by cutting the defence budget. of course, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to happen either, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the point. it is an existential attack on western civilisation, a dagger aimed at our freedoms and our way of life.

And if you believe that, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll believe anything. Hell, you may even vote for Pauline Hanson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or Scott Morrison.

over the years iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed certain positive attributes, and i quite like the fact that they are here now, mainly because they represent a huge biomass and carbon sink, the Black Cockatoos absolutely LoVe them, and they are a fantastic wind break. donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong, i would NeVer recommend planting one. itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that these are about 80 years old, and gigantic. i have some good native species coming up slowly underneath them that will eventually take over, but that could take 50 years or more.

A row of them were removed over the road two winters ago, and initially i thoughtâ&#x20AC;? Beauty! Now i get some
