Eumundi brighter than ever through JulySerious fun at markets through the holidays

Eumundi is set to sparkle throughout July with the annual

Light up Eumundi and a program of Christmas in July events.

The lights will be switched on at the “Light up” ceremony at 6pm Friday 1 July on the balcony of the Imperial Hotel, and Eumundi Chamber of Commerce secretary Kerrie Bryant-Adams said the town will be brighter than ever this year with the addition of 75 sets of solar fairy lights the Chamber will use to decorate members’ street shop-front posts.

There will be lucky door prizes at the lighting up, ECCO will provide nibbles and the final chance to buy tickets in a raffle to support the Christopher Walter Foundation to help a family in need. The major accommodation prize will be drawn on the night.

Christmas in July events will be held at Memorial Drive eateries with the Imperial having a set menu on 1 July following the lighting up, with live music in the bar.

Sit back and be entertained by a stellar line-up of circus and

street performers guaranteed to amaze you with their dexterity and balance and have you laughing with their wisecracks.

Original Eumundi Markets manager Peter Homan says The Eumundi Fringe Street Circus is an impressive collaboration of internationally renowned performers. “The show includes death defying aerial acts, body twisting contortionists, hula

The weather has certainly turned on the winter chill but

Eumundi will be cheerful and warmed up throughout July by the annual Light up Eumundi season. See our lead article for events throughout the month.

Word from managing editor Joyce and husband John Turnbull is that they have experienced the rain and castles of North Wales on a train trip and are enjoying wonderful family time with daughter Belinda, son-in-law James and four-month-old grandson Sebastian. We are looking forward to some interesting traveller’s tales and around the world features soon.

As the name implies, Wust Road is just that, a road, not a street. It is a “link” road of

some 2km in length linking Sunrise Road with Beddington Road, thus providing a quicker way to Noosaville for those in the west.

Wust Road is lined with rural properties of one acre or more with some patches of rainforest, which give it that rural perspective. The Doonan Creek meanders by those properties on their northern boundaries. On the south side of Wust Road the Noosa Valley golf course can be seen between the trees; that golf course also has its boundaries on Beddington Road.

Perhaps the most important task for Wust Road other than providing a link from the west is its provision of the entrance and exit to

the beautiful Noosa Valley residential precinct, which boasts spectacular homes and gardens, but that should be left to someone else to describe.

Perhaps the most undesirable point of Wust Road is the speed of the traffic which, although stated as 70kph, is often exceeded. So it seems those who travel fast do not take in the scenery but just wish to get to the other end.

It would be remiss of us if we did not mention the great neighbours we have who welcomed us into the area 11 years ago with friendship and sharing so typical of rural communities. In most cases they have been here for some 20 odd years and have indeed seen changes to the way the road is used.

They will be running “Harley Hotlaps” tours from the shop, so look out for the girls around town.

Road safety and public transport key in local members’ State Budget responses

LNP Member for Noosa Glen Elmes paid particular attention

to the issues of roads and bus stops in the electorate, following his thanking the Treasurer for an allocation of $265,000 to the “Noosashire council”. “There is no need to take ‘Noosa council’ out and put Sunshine Coast Council in,” Mr Elmes quipped.

Mr Elmes brought a stretch of the Eumundi-Noosa Rd, particularly between Duke Rd and Emu Mountain Rd, to the attention of the Minister for Main Roads.

Mr Elmes spoke on what he termed “the catastrophe of public transport”, in particular referring to 21km of the Eumundi-Noosa Road with no bus stops. He later continued, “It is deemed too dangerous for fare-paying adults to pull up at a bus stop on Cooroy-Noosa Road or Eumundi-Noosa Road. However, it is not deemed too dangerous for school buses to pull up in a dozen different locations dozens of times over the school week—twice a day—on exactly the same road.”

Independent member for Nicklin Peter Wellington referred to what he termed “the significant allocation of further money” to the Queensland Bulk Water Transport Authority for the Northern Pipeline Inter Connector Stage 2 project, while many landowners in his electorate are still seeking reparations and compensation to be sorted out.

Mr Wellington noted the continuation of the upgrade to Nambour Hospital where $11.6 million was allocated towards new surgery and treatment suites.

Mr Wellington confirmed Yandina State School is to receive $892,000 for the expansion of the school program to include a kindergarten which he believes will be a significant asset to the school’s community.

On public transport he called on the Treasurer, Premier and Minister for Transport to approach the Federal Government to bring forward the allocation of money to allow the duplication of the railway line to Nambour to occur.

Raising funds for Forget Me Not children

Craig and Mel Manley of Eumundi at the annual ball to support Forget Me Not children’s homes in Nepal held at the Kingfisher Resort on Fraser Island. The black tie ball raised $60,000 for the foundation.

Jessica and Scott Hardy at the ball. Their Christmas in July function at Food@Eumundi will be a fundraiser for Forget Me Not.

On their recent community bus trip to Gympie the Eumundi

knitters recruited a couple of new members in the wool section of Big W over the last ball of red wool.

Roslyn and Lloyd Moore (a knitter of 60 years he proudly told them) are grey nomads travelling around Australia on their way to Mt Isa and Darwin. They took time out to visit the Eumundi knitters two weeks ago. Anne Goddard of

Suppliers of Solar Power Specialists flocked to see Jock Howard decked out in wedding white on their fundraising day for Mix FM’s Give Me Five for Kids. Diane Howard said they had a fantastic response from their long standing national supplier network, raising $10,000 on the day. “They all wanted to see Jock in a dress and had no problem coughing up the cash, that alone raised over $2500,” she said.

The raffle for a hand painting of the dingo by renowned

wildlife artist Jennifer Parkhurst was won by Maxine McGregor of Verrierdale. Tickets were sold all over Southeast Queensland and the winning ticket was sold at Eumundi Markets. All money raised is going to help the “Save The Fraser Island Dingo” fund.

QuestionNow that the intersection at the Top of Town is �nished, how do you think it looks and how do you think it contributes to tra�c calming and pedestrian safety?

ResponseCongratulations to the Eumundi community for being patient during the intersection works. Now that it’s �nished, doesn’t it look fantastic and make the Top of Town look spectacular?It’s important to note that the intersection works were done to slow down the tra�c and improve pedestrian safety, especially for children.Included in the improvements are pedestrian refuges that allow safe crossing at various points, and which have opened up safe pedestrian access through that end of town.The Give Way sign on Memorial Dr onto Caplick Way remains, this to allow tra�c priority along Caplick Way.

Your SayTop End of Town

I read with some sympathy the letter regarding the changes to the top end of town. until confronted with the term “the grandstanders of this”. I took that to refer to those in the town who “performed ostentatiously so as to impress an audience” to get a solution that best fitted the community view of the needs of our town. Does the writer have any idea of the impact of what we were going to get? Did she comprehend it was a highway-sized roundabout intended to speed traffic on its way to Noosa, six years after the highway bypass?

The writer is clearly unaware of the decade or more of community consultation surrounding this change and the fact that it is one part of a staged plan, the school situation being just one of three. I can assure the writer that the meetings were far from “ostentatious”, as many nights, morning or afternoons very few turned up to participate or to create an “audience”. More people did become involved as solutions threatened businesses, safety, amenity, and the future possibilities of linking the top end with the rest of our town. This was facilitated by the “grandstanders” through public meetings and information in the Eumundi Green to ensure everyone who had an interest did get to have a say.

Having lost sympathy for the writer through the word selection that showed more about her own motives than those of the dozens of people who actually participated to inform the town and reach a solution, I notice she is a road safety “expert” and so wonder why she was not part of the team who worked through the design.

No worries though, there is still the next phase (which was supposed to come first and the recent work would have made more sense if it had). This is the work outside the school and the Napier road intersection.

I do hope the “jolts” are both literal and metaphorical because it would be just wonderful if people could constructively criticise things they don’t like without accusing people who try to get the best solution of being “out to impress”. That sort of comment is divisive and may stop people who want to contribute in the next round from doing so. So every time you hit the bump, think what can I do about things I want or don’t want to see in my town and actually join in and do something.

If you don’t want to help in the

changes you want to see, then by all means avoid the town and shop in Cooroy.

Save our ocean lifeI am a big animal and plant

lover and I try as much as I can to reduce my impact on our precious planet.

I understand that there are some things that we can’t change about how we live – we still drive cars to get where we need to go etc. – but I really, really wish we could all STOP using plastic. We rely on it so much. It is killing our animals and polluting our land.

Everyone loves turtles, right? Well they eat the plastic that inevitably ends up in our oceans. All you have to do is Google “plastic ocean” and you will be disgusted by the pics you see. We all love the surf and the beaches, but did you know about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? Google it. Have a look. That plastic is ours. Wouldn’t you love to swim in that? And eat the fish that have eaten a gutfull of plastic. Yummy! Check out www.turtlecare.com.au, this is a Sunshine Coast site.

I guess I just wanted to get up on my soap box and try to inform people about the environmental impact of the plastic that we throw away everyday. The thing that got me onto this is seeing, every week, in the streets of Eumundi, The Noosa Journal and The Noosa News wrapped in plastic ALWAYS in the gutters. This is so disgusting. To the person who is delivering these papers, you should really think about where you are throwing them. On my early Friday morning walk there are always these two papers on the road, in the gutters and on the footpaths. They were delivered the night before, obviously thrown from a car window. This morning I pulled one out of a drain, about to get flushed into the creek, where it inevitably ends up in the ocean.

Come on people, think about something other than yourself. Pick up any rubbish you see. Save the oceans. Save the turtles. Save the whales!

Do public servants always serve the public?

Far too often, the public, you and I, experience lack of concern from our public servants when we believe their public service has failed us.

Recently, a friend received a disappointing response from the Transport Department after applying for a temporary disability parking permit.

These permits allow people with permanent or temporary severe walking restrictions to use designated parking bays close to shopping centres, hospitals and other public places.

She had undergone a total knee replacement and when she left hospital she had a temporary severe walking restriction, only able to walk cautiously with a walking stick. Being able to park in disability bays would be of enormous benefit to her and her husband/driver.

He had applied for a permit from the Nambour office, the day after her discharge and was told it would take 1–2 weeks for the

permit to arrive by post.Imagine her disappointment

when nearly a month went by and she was still waiting for the permit. In that time she attended six necessary medical appointments and none of them she could park near.

She decided to ring the department’s 1300 number to ask where the permit was. After holding on for 25 minutes, a “not too happy” department officer in Brisbane told her Nambour staff had no right to say 1–2 weeks because permits always take a month to process. Seemingly he was more concerned about their comments than the angst the delay was causing someone who should be benefitting from his public service.

In her usual practical way, my friend wonders why temporary permits cannot be issued like driving licences – on the spot – to be of use when most needed, immediately after operations.

Pity the Transport Department didn’t think in a practical way, or even in a caring way.

Under 8’s “at the beach”

Noosa High take awards at Maleny International Day tradition continues

City trips for North Arm students

Eumundi State School had its Under 8’s day at Caplick Park on Friday 3 June with lots of fun and laughter with games and plenty of help from local parents. The day included tug of wars, egg and spoon races, painting, face-painting, cricket and plenty more fun and games.

CWA divisional international officer Sara Faddy of the Maleny branch showed the children some of the items funded by International Day activities such as bandages for leprosy sufferers and this East Timorese sarong, or tais. The event raised $335.30 which will be sent to the Association Country Women of the World (ACWW) that assists women and children in many countries including the South Pacific.

These two “baddies”, Charlie Burton (left) and Jack Trewick ended up in jail at the end of the tale.

Noosa High Cattle Show Team won the Shannon Perpetual Trophy for Beef Cattle Judging as well as the Interschool Challenge Cup at Maleny Show, following their winning the Interschool Beef Cattle Judging Competition at the Gympie Show. “Our students were quite awesome in both the Cattle Judging and Handling Competitions,” said teacher John Masterman. The students picked up individual awards in several classes and “Noosa High Cabaret”, paraded by Payton Jennings, was awarded Reserve Champion Senior Cow.

The past two weeks have been very exciting for students of Year 4 at North Arm as they travelled to Brisbane on two occasions. Their first visit was to the Science Centre and then Reverse Garbage at West End where they used recycled items to create a robot which gave the students another perspective on the term “recycle”. As a result of their entry in a competition the class won a trip to the Walking with Dinosaurs show and were lucky enough to spend some time backstage, fully appreciating the robotics used in the animation of the dinosaurs.

The longstanding collaboration between the Eumundi CWA

and Eumundi State School continued this year, in which the CWA’s international country of study has been East Timor.

Eumundi CWA secretary

Barbara Robinson said this is at least the 15th year of the project shared by their group and the school. This year, Year 1 acted, sang and danced the East Timorese folk tale Panji and the Buffalo.

later, with another three, very funny, plays and three courses to savour. And there’s no stinting, as regulars will attest. For openers there’s a choice of soups, for mains a choice of casserole-style dishes, and then dessert and coffee.

Members of our casts include many Indee favourites and a few special guests, all champing at the bit to deliver the laughs.

The theatre is warm and inviting and there is a licensed bar offering moderate prices. And if all of the above isn’t enough to tempt snapping up of tickets immediately, then add into the equation that all $37 dinner show tickets booked and paid for by 30 June will attract a $4 discount. Past that date it’s back to $37.

The four dinner-shows are 6.30 for 7pm on Friday and Saturday 15 & 16 July, and 22 & 23 July. There are also two non-dining matinees (tickets $18) on Sunday 17 July at 2pm and Sunday 24 July at 5pm. Bookings 5472 8200.

Arts Scene

It is quite unusual for a community theatre to have an annual show

and even more unusual for that show to have a longevity of over a decade and a half, but that’s the case with Comedy & Consomme.

Originally the title was relative to the show, because back at its starting point, Daphne Greer and the ladies of the School of Arts Hall Committee used to make up some CWA-type soup recipes (although I don’t think consommé was amongst them), the whole lot served up with crusty bread between plays.

Incidentally, the money from the soups was donated by Daphne and the girls to local youth sporting groups.

But came a time when the burden of making and serving from the “soup kitchen” became too much and, luckily for the theatre, Lyn Ireland volunteered to turn it into a three-course winter dinner and do all the catering.

So here we are sixteen years Brian Tisdall is holding an exhibition and sale of his artwork at

Free skin checks at the Eumundi Family Medical Centre

Thumbs up to intersection

Council’s early proposal for a roundabout at the top of town

created much community debate, leading to a consultation process for a design that would best serve Eumundi and its visitors.

Div 10 Cr Paul Tatton said, “The fruits of the community consultation are now there for people to see and use.

“Unfortunately the works went a little over budget due to the unusually inclement weather we experienced during the construction.”

Cr Tatton said he has allocated budget to complete the footpath works in front of Red Desert Gallery and Sala Thai.

Some business owners expressed concern at the final cost of the work and the loss of some parking spaces on Caplick Way, and others remarked that they have yet to see their trading return to pre-work levels. Feedback overall has been positive however with most looking forward to catching up on lost trade.

Chamber president Barrie Adams said the traffic calming has had the desired effect of slowing

The downside of living in a beautiful part of the world

where warm sunshine is abundant is our increased risk of developing skin cancers. Whilst we all know how to protect ourselves and our children from intense sun exposure with sunblocking creams and clothing, it is recommended that we have a complete skin check once a year.

Dr Sanchez will perform a comprehensive skin check using an instrument known as a Dermatoscope (derm comes from the Latin meaning “skin”). This instrument will give him a clear view of your skin and suspect lesions can be identified.

If there is a lesion that needs to be removed, we can then book you in for a half hour appointment.

down drivers around the bend into town. “Now that the landscaping is being completed it looks good, and when the remaining works are completed it will have greatly improved the top end of town,” he said.

The intersection work has greatly improved safety for pedestrians, particularly children going to and from school, and the overall project has enhanced scenic amenity at an entrance into Eumundi.

The loss of car parking spaces is modest compared to the original roundabout plan which would have required the removal of almost all car parks at the top of town. Much of the project spend has gone into drainage work that is now not obvious but was greatly needed around the intersection.

Many business owners congratulated the Council project manager, Council and the Chamber for their cooperation and thanked their customers for their understanding and support throughout the project.

See Councillor’s Column on page 6 for more comments from Cr Paul Tatton.

The removal of a lesion is carried out under a local anaesthetic and sent off to the laboratory for identification with the sutures removed in 7-10 days. Dr Sanchez will also review the pathology results with you at this time.

Look after your skin: it is the largest organ in your body!

Isabell Shipard has been a crusader for survival foods for

many years. Her farm in Nambour is a haven for rare herbs and survival foods. (Survival foods are those that can sustain us in hard times.) She advocates getting to know these plants and how to use them to be prepared.

Isabell describes survival plants as those that are hardy and have adapted to a wide range of soils and low rainfall, can be harvested year round or have a long cropping period, and have a long shelf life or can be dried or used in some other form. Interestingly, Isabell also identifies survival plants as plants that generally are not well known as a food source (to avoid plant poaching) to be sure you always have a supply and therefore ensure your survival. Some survival foods common

on the Sunshine Coast are betel leaves, mini sunflower, cranberry hibiscus, sweet leaf bush, salad mallow, kang kong, fenugreek, comfrey, nettle, amaranth and alfalfa. Many survival foods are high in protein and are believed to help clear congestion. Some wild herbs and survival foods should be eaten in small amounts, so best to learn about the plants you use first and check this.

The following betel leaf wraps, wild salad with chicken, and fenugreek carrots recipes will add a bit of fun to what could be growing just outside and will get you started in all there is to know about survival foods.

For more information, visit Isabell’s Herb Farm at Nambour and see her website at www.herbsarespecial.com.au and www.herbs-use.com.

Method Steamed version: Combine all ingredients and mix gently but thoroughly before scooping onto betel leaves. Wrap approximately 1 teaspoon of mixture in each leaf and place in steamer. Steam lightly and drizzle with some wonderful asian sauces or just soy sauce. Raw leaf version: Lightly cook ginger, peanuts and spring onions in a little oil and add remaining ingredients for only a few minutes until prawns are cooked. Add coriander leaves and wrap in younger raw leaves a teaspoon at a time. Serve with dipping sauces.

MethodWash and dry all leaves and tear into smaller pieces. Place leaves in a bowl and top with sliced tomato and red onion. Arrange chicken pieces decoratively over the top and season with your favourite herbs and dressing.

MethodSauté the onion and garlic in oil or butter, then add the fenugreek seeds and carrots and cook for two minutes. Add red wine, orange juice and paprika and season. Cover pan and simmer at low heat, stirring occasionally, until carrots are cooked. Garnish with orange rind and your favourite green herb.


For most people, winter is the hardest time of the year to

stick to a regular exercise routine. It is also a time when we are more likely to reach for comfort food and less likely to stick to a healthy diet. Statistics show that a high percentage of people put on a few extra kilos during winter time.

Regular exercise is one of the best ways to boost your immune system and fend off wintertime colds and other illnesses. While it is important to slow down a little during winter, we still need to stay active for the sake of our health.

Avoiding the winter exercise slump Lucy Cloonan personal trainer

Regular exercise stimulates our brain to produce endorphins that alter our hormone levels and lift our mood, which can make winter a more enjoyable season!

Here are a few suggestions for staying motivated during the colder months: Stick to a routine – You will be more likely to stick to something if you have a consistent routine, whether it is first thing in the morning or last thing at night, try to schedule exercise into your busy day.

have to be time consuming. Go for a walk or run, visit the local pool, join an exercise class or go on a bike ride.Reward yourself – Having something to look forward to will help you to get moving. It is hard to look forward to a workout when it’s cold and dark, but having a reward at the end can make your workout more enjoyable.Make it a social event – Exercising with a friend can be fun. Having an appointment to meet someone will give you more reason to get out of your cosy warm bed!

Create a home gym – If you really can’t face exercising outdoors, it is easy to set up a simple home gym with a set of dumbbells, a resistance band and a skipping rope.

Remember that when exercising during the winter, muscles will take longer to warm up, so take care and ensure you stretch and warm-up slowly. People who are prone to asthma should make sure they carry an inhaler as they are more susceptible to asthma with the cold air. Otherwise, happy exercising!

In the SpotlightPlanting the seeds in children’s minds Caroline Arnett

Primary school teacher Jon Gemmell is a man on a

mission. He believes that we have become detached from appreciating where our food and water come from, and has set about teaching the kids at Eumundi State School that food can be easily grown with a minimum of effort.

Sixteen years ago he and two colleagues cultivated a garden at the back of the school. Jon speaks proudly of the fact that a whole school curriculum plan has evolved from that, based on permaculture principles. “We’ve reached the stage where we now work with Slow Food Noosa,” he says. “Leonie Shanahan, a horticulturalist, has created a program called Edible School Gardens and she joins us each Wednesday and works with the children for a full term.

“My aim is to get the kids to see the process of planting/growing/eating, and channel the surplus food into the school tuckshop.”

Jon and his wife Jeanette are both dedicated teachers and have four children who are gifted

in their chosen sports. Managing to find time for their vegetable patch, chooks, bananas and, until recently, bees is part of their lives. “The kids worked out that a bunch of bananas they picked recently was worth $300 at current prices,” Jon says with delight. “Right now I’m working on

a chicken/bee system to manage the hive beetle which destroyed my previous hives.”

His interest in permaculture began with memories of his grandfather’s market garden as well as his uncles’ cattle farms. “My grandfather invented chicken tractors before chicken tractors

were invented,” he recalls. “Dad always grew vegies and Mum had her hands in the dirt as well.”

He remembers Eumundi back when it was a productive farming community and many of his students lived on local dairy farms. Sadly, many of the farms are gradually disappearing and people are choosing to mow them instead of producing food.

“I believe that every school needs to re-think their planning policies. Instead of whacking in a tree for its aesthetic purpose, plant trees with a dual purpose that can grow food too,” Jon says with conviction.

Next term, Jon’s caped alter-ego, “Captain Compost”, will motivate the kids with new lockable compost bins. The food scraps from the bins will go down to the school’s industrial-sized worm farm to be processed and returned to the gardens. Jon’s enthusiasm for creating food-producing school gardens is infectious: “I’m sure that somewhere in the back of the kid’s minds, all of this will make a difference.”

Bits and Pieces

This is the time of year when we can get things

done proactively rather than reacting to the huge growth that happens over our summer or wet season.

This year we are only just getting back into the yard now as it starts to dry out. It is a good time to think about all those things that caused us grief in the heat and the wet of the previous season.

If there are areas of boggy ground you couldn’t mow, think about why it got wet and how you might divert the water to more useful places. Also think about what plants would benefit from all that water and which ones will take it up and transpire it back into the atmosphere next year.

Green Tip

Permaculture has a really nifty strategy known as the “banana circle” which can take up the water, take all your heavy mulch, keep the mozzies away and give you loads of bananas.

If the bog is in the shade, think about letting some light in or using the gingers and canna family to take up the water. Planting ground covers that don’t need mowing instead of grasses is a good way to reduce the mowing.

If your veggie patch was washed away or went sour from too much water, think about setting up some raised beds to allow better drainage. All these things can be seen at Yandina Community Garden and they have plants to sell as well.

Noosa Community RadioNoosa Community Radio (NCR) is the only local independent community broadcaster run by volunteers. Founded in 1994, 101.3 FM showed great self-con�dence by commencing the very challenging task of broadcasting on a 24/7 basis from 1997.

NCR has adopted a motto of "local and vocal" and prides itself on being a real alternative to other, particularly commercial, broadcasters.

Its main objectives adopted are to: involve and inform the community of local a�airs and events stimulate interest and entertain through a wide variety of programming styles and tastes build a stronger sense of community maintain a radio station that can provide opportunities in the areas of education, ethnic, indigenous and current a�airs, local music, sport and news raise public awareness and foster a general understanding for groups representing the disadvantaged members and residents of Noosa and environs support local volunteer and emergency groups by providing air time for their messages promote local events

Driven by this vision, each of their programs is unique. Programs support local artists, local bands and local events. Each is complemented by news and views, informing on what is going on locally and o�ering commentary on those aspects and issues directly a�ecting local audiences.

This expansive scheduling has been rewarded with a signi�cant number of awards for innovation, promotion, outside broadcast, excellence in training as well as Community Radio Station of the Year 2007.

NCR is proudly sponsored by a range of businesses and supplemented by volunteers sta�ng the ECCO carparks.

ECCO is proud to be associated with Noosa Community Radio. This is another great community story which vindicates the vision and the e�ort subscribed in repatriating parking revenue to Eumundi to support our local economy and our community facilities.

"A successful team beats with one heart, we are Noosa Com Radio," says the NCR car park gate team celebrating over a Sunday breakfast.

Leanne’s Green ThumbThe winter vege patchOne of the �rst and most important considerations is choosing a nice sunny place to start your vegetable patch. If you are limited by space and are planting in pots, make sure you choose the sunniest part of your balcony or courtyard.

Begin by digging over the soil, adding 2kg of compost or cow manure per square metre and then mix in well. By adding two handfuls of dolomite every square metre it will prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes and will also add essential calcium to the soil. Dig compost into the garden beds four weeks before planting seedlings. It’s important you don’t use too much manure, though, as the nitrogen it contains will encourage leaf growth rather than fruit.

Here is a list of winter veges to plant in July for our sub-tropical climate: beetroot, broccoli, cabbage, capsicum, celery, endive, French bean, garlic, leeks, peas, potatoes, silver beet, swede, sweet potato and tomatoes.

In August you can also plant in addition to the above, carrots, cucumber, eggplant, okra, pumpkin, spring onion, squash and zucchini.

Tomatoes grown in the same spot each year can be badly a�ected by root nematodes so it's important to rotate your tomatoes each season. They grow well in the same bed as eggplant, capsicum (bell pepper) and chillis (hot peppers). Plant basil with your tomatoes, they act as companions and make a wonderful impression on each other's growth.

Also on the program is Anna Krien, prize winning author of Into the Woods: the battle to save Tasmania’s Forests. For many years, the Tasmanian wilderness has been the site of a fierce struggle. At stake is the future of old-growth forests. Loggers and police face off with protesters deep in the forest, while savage political games are played in the courts and parliaments. Anna Krien, armed with a notebook, a sleeping bag and a rusty sedan, ventures behind the battle lines to see what it is like to risk everything for a cause. She speaks to ferals and premiers, sawmillers and whistle-blowers. She investigates personalities and convictions, methods and motives.

Most people are aware of the Hawk Moths that frequent

our gardens. Perhaps gardeners are more aware of the larvae of these moths due to the damage they inflict on our plants such as grape vines, members of the balsam family, many alocasia species etc. These green or brown larvae are definitely not gardener friendly!

During the summer months gardeners suddenly realise favourite plants are disappearing at an alarming rate and start looking for the culprits. Sadly most of the larvae are hunted down and destroyed, but I’d like to appeal to our readers to have a second thought.

There are over 1000 species of Hawk Moths worldwide. In Australia there are about 60 species and in many ways are our humming birds of the night. They are a large, agile, strong flying moth and are streamlined just like a jet fighter. Just on dusk they leave their day hiding

Many night feeding animals such as gliders, phascogales, owls, tawny frogmouths etc. all snack on these moths if they are quick. This then means that they are an important component of our eco system.

As an example of an outcome of the workshop, one of the artists involved, Margi Brown Ash is now writing a performance piece called Home about how our stories of home can influence the creative experiences we have in our world. Margi was inspired by the reverence of the Spirit House team towards preparing food and their dedication to intimate detail. Food and cooking will feature strongly in Home and the gardens of the Spirit House have inspired an outdoor environment of eight or so garden rooms as one of the intended locations for her production. Clearly the ambience and atmosphere of the stage, whether a meal in a restaurant or a play in a theatre, whether a tranquil garden or vibrant, bright platform, are central to the total impact of a performance. Margi’s work is through her small theatre company, the nest 4 change, which sits between theatre and therapy, focusing on work that heals and expands people’s worlds. Clearly food like all great art is the gateway to the soul.

Eumundi was recently host to an artists’ retreat exploring

art in the workplace and the workplace in art. The event was particularly special as it was enabled by a grant to three mature artists from around Australia, facilitated by Metro Arts. The artists involved were Margi Brown Ash, a contemporary theatre maker and narrative therapist, Brian Lucas, a contemporary dancer and choreographer, and Nikki Haywood, a director and performer. Together the artists explored the art of different workplaces, and in Eumundi those workplaces were restaurants.

While in Eumundi our visitors ate at many different restaurants, observed the interplays in motion and experienced the town in a very foodie way. They also visited the Spirit House and spent a day with their gracious host, Acland Brierty, the son of restaurant founders Helen and Peter Brierty.

The performance of a finely tuned restaurant was likened to a stage, a performance, an orchestrated production where guests are hosted and delighted. The dances of chefs, waiters and others in kitchens, weaving in and out and never bumping were applauded. The skill of the chef, with his knives like magic wands, was seen as all part of the drama. The joy of special combinations was critiqued, comparing the ingredients of an exquisite, piercing poem, with the wisdom of food preparation over many generations that brings together ultimate sensations in a crescendo of flavour - sweet and heat and, salt and sour, the perfect balance between colour and texture on a meticulously presented plate.

The community supported by shared experience through the arts was seen as a common aspect of art in many workplaces. Shared plates in restaurants were compared with the shared participation in the unique

Back in mid-2007 I listed my top 10 favourite programs that

live on my 2GB memory stick and I take everywhere. Four years on it’s time to re-visit the core programs that now live on my 16GB memory stick. Google them for download links.

AVG Free 2011 – this popular anti-virus program is still there and is better than it was, however I also carry the free Microsoft Security Essentials AV as well. I use the commercial ESET anti-virus on my own PCs.

Malwarebytes anti-malware – I didn’t have this four years ago. It’s the single best virus, spyware and malware removal tool ever created. It’s still free and quite simply everyone should install it and run it every month.

Acronis True Image – hard drive imaging, copying and recovery tool. Not free, but superb. Restore your system exactly how it was after a complete hard drive failure.

Cobian Backup – still on the list today, but now up to version 10.

The best free backup tool around. Scheduling, email notifications, copy files in use and more.

CCleaner – this fantastic tool cleans up all the unnecessary files and cached data on your PC, as well as cleaning the registry. I run it on every PC I’m repairing. You should get it and run it every week!

Open Office – still here, and improved, it’s a full Office suite compatible with Microsoft Office file formats.

PS Tools - very useful command line system tools including process viewer, shutdown and kill tools.

Netscan - www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner. Allows you to find the addresses of any network devices on your network.

ERD Commander – boots into a mini Windows environment in memory allowing troubleshooting of systems that won’t start. Change passwords, launch system restore, chkdsk, edit the registry.

Eumundi Green around the world Paul Mundy

It’s not often that the offshore oil industry comes up with a

posting somewhere “nice” so the opportunity to take a training course in the Italian lakes was not to be missed.

My stay was based around five weeks of training with a week free in the middle which Fran and I used to explore round Lake Como. We based ourselves in Laglio (just down the road from George Clooney!) and toured around the area in our Cinquecento enjoying the scenery, food and the relaxed pace of Italian life. The photo was taken from the Balcony of Italy overlooking Lugano and Lake Lugano in Switzerland and the small Italian enclave of Campione d’Italia which should have been connected to the viewpoint by a cablecar had they finished building it … As ever, we had a copy of Eumundi Green to hand.
