JOE’S WATERHOLE REBORN

The newly transformed Joe's Waterhole pub has been reborn as Matso's Sunshine Coast and opened to eager patrons on 22 December after months of renovations. A few days before the opening two camels became the country’s quirkiest venue inspectors and got a sneak peak of what is on offer.

was important to have some camels visit the new venue.

Matso’s is renowned as the creator of Australia's first alcoholic ginger beer which was brewed to beat the heat and humidity of Broome, WA where Matso’s originated. Camels are synonymous with Broome’s Cable Beach so organisers thought it

“We understand and respect that many current and former patrons have an affinity with Joe’s Waterhole so the venue has been refurbished with timber and materials from the original pub. Cont. p3

Head of Sales and Marketing Mick McKeown said that while the pub has been rebranded to Matso’s Brewery a number of the iconic features of Joe’s Waterhole have been reused and repurposed in the new venue.

The venue has a mix of Qld heritage at the front and a family-friendly casual dining space with a sprawling outdoor area out the back. Pets are welcome. Mick said the goal for Matso's is to offer patrons something extraordinary and the team is excited for people to experience their difference.

“The new look venue features a menu inspired by local ingredients in a relaxed setting including a front bar, main bar, restaurant, covered beer garden and pool room and a unique Matso’s playground for the kids.

Artist’s impression looking south along Memorial Dr (near Etheridge St)

Placemaking update It’s finally happening! SCC’s Eumundi placemaking Memorial Dr streetscape project is expected to commence construction this year with improvements along Memorial Dr between Etheridge St and Gridley St. Public tenders for a construction contractor closed in December. SCC said the project start comes after extensive community engagement during 2020-2023 and the final streetscape design has been shaped by the community to uniquely reflect the character and history of the town. It features more outdoor seating, shade, trees and plants, safer pedestrian crossings as well as heritage and art interpretations. Information will be provided through a project website, social media and notifications to property owners and businesses. Subscribe for updates at: our.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/ LP=470.

REB awards nomination Well done to Rebecca Ali-Mumtaz for her nomination as a finalist for Sales Administrator of the Year in the 2024 Real Estate Business (REB) awards. The award is a nationwide program honouring top individuals and businesses in Australia's real estate sector. It offers a platform to showcase achievements and gain recognition. We will have to wait until 29 February to find out if Rebecca – a team member at Hinternoosa Real Estate in Cooroy – is a winner but being nominated proves her outstanding administrative skills and talents. She also produces Noosa Country Style magazine. 10

“Being named a finalist is well-deserved recognition for the incredible work Rebecca does for our clients and team each and every day,” said Director and Principal of Hinternoosa Sirah Robb.

Furniture manufacturer expands One of the Sunshine Coast’s largest employers is calling for more workers as it announces a ground-breaking $20m expansion at Yandina Industrial Park. Furniture leader BFX’s expansion at its new global distribution centre means around 50 jobs will be up for grabs this summer including machine operators, furniture assemblers, upholstery workers and more. For over 35 years BFX has specialised in manufacturing Australia’s widest range of furniture and contributing to better outcomes in schools and the community. The state-ofthe-art 9,000sqm distribution centre takes the business's total manufacturing footprint to a massive 22,000sqm under-roof. The new facility supports BFX’s continued growth and broader product distribution across Australia and SE Asia while tapping into emerging export markets including the Pacific Islands. SCC Mayor Mark Jamieson celebrated the expansion at Yandina Industrial Estate with a tour and ribbon-cutting. “The expansion of this powerhouse business is projected to inject $39.06m into our local economy and generate 160 new jobs directly and indirectly once the facility is fully operational,” said Mayor Jamieson. BFX Chairman Denis Moore said the new facility has tripled BFX’s loading and dispatch capacity to meet increased demand for more products. “By freeing-up thousands of metres of space at our original Yandina site we can pave the way for further expansion and supply more customers particularly during the peak back-to-school period,” said Denis. “As a secure Australian-owned business we are always looking for dynamic and talented people to help drive BFX’s continued growth.” Visit: bfx. com.au/careers-at-bfx.

Regional Plan delivers mixed results There are mixed results for the Noosa Shire in the newly released SEQ Regional Plan 2023 – ShapingSEQ. The plan outlines ambitious growth targets for SE Qld including an additional 5,000 homes and 18,800 people by 2046 in the shire. Around 80% of new housing stock across Noosa will be low rise within the existing urban footprint. Under the new plan secondary dwellings such as granny flats will be recognised as individual homes. “Small, modest comfortable dwellings within the current footprint will help Noosa retain its character while providing for sustainable growth,” said Mayor Stewart. The Regional Plan expands the urban footprint slightly at Cooroy to support future employment. This area seeks to address both a local and regional need for industrial land well located in proximity to existing industrial activities and the Bruce Hwy. “Given the projected growth for Noosa, investment in public transport options and infrastructure are still lacking and something that needs to be addressed by the state government,” said Mayor Stewart.

Housing solutions A letter writing campaign by Noosa Council has seen more than 100 short-stay properties transferred to the long-term rental market in an attempt to tackle the local housing crisis. Mayor Stewart said a stakeholder reference group council formed in March 2023 has 12

provided input on housing issues and brought key players together. “This is significant as council or the market could not have delivered this many homes in a short time frame for use as long-term rental or permanent occupation,” she said. “The housing forum held on 1 March provided an opportunity to personalise the housing crisis with local stories and reinforced the importance of council taking a role in the housing space which state and federal governments are ultimately responsible for.” Council’s Director of Strategy and Environment Kim Rawlings said many local property owners are taking up the challenge to help 'Keep Noosa Home'. Share housing models are being adopted with programs including 'Better Together' which is helping mature single women to access comfortable, affordable housing through communal living. A partnership with Youturn has seen two tiny homes established on council land to meet an important crisis accommodation need. “We’ve also signed an MoU with Coast2Bay Housing and continue to work with them to investigate potential community housing opportunities on council land. The first site is in Cooroy but subsequent joint ventures will be investigated with the industry and community housing sector in Noosa Heads and Tewantin,” said Kim.

Individuals can make a difference In the realm of philanthropy few stories are as touching and inspiring as the recent bequest made to PTSD Australia, an organisation dedicated to the rescuing and training of dogs to aid veterans and first responders suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

The story of selfless giving serves as a powerful testament to the impact of a living bequest. The benefactor sees their donation actively making a difference, changing the lives of the dogs and their human companions. They witness the joy and renewed confidence in people who receive the dogs and they see the dogs – often rescued from uncertain futures – become life-changing companions. A benefactor’s legacy of generosity will live on in the hearts of those who’ve helped. Every wagging tail, every comforting nuzzle and every veteran’s smile will be a testament to their kindness. The donation by Gita will continue to reverberate in the hearts of those who have been helped. This story is about how individuals can effect meaningful change. Roger Weeks – Co-founder and Director at PTSD Dogs Australia

This living legacy from Gita Belling and her legacy fund is transformative, enabling the organisation to sponsor the training and care of an additional 16 assistance dogs. Moved by the PTSD’s mission, Gita Belling & Associates chose to make a significant living bequest. The wish was simply to see how the donation was making a difference in the lives of others whose service to the country and humanity sees them carrying trauma. PTSD was able to extend its reach further than ever before. The organisation can now rescue and train 16 more dogs, promising to change the lives of 16 individuals battling PTSD. A salary was also included to assist in hiring an additional fully qualified dog trainer.

HEALTH

Remember, it may not be dementia In 2023 the leading cause of death for Australian women was dementia. It is just behind heart attacks for men. The rapid increase in young onset dementia for those aged under 50 is causing major concern. Around 450,000 Australians are living with the disease and this is estimated to reach 800,000 by 2058. By the age of 65 one in 10 people will have dementia, rising to one in three by age 83. While there is no quick fix, signs and symptoms must be acted upon. Onset can be delayed by reducing exposure to causes and by improving lifestyle. Entering a room and forgetting what you came in for is normal as you age or perhaps you are doing too many things at once. If it doesn’t stop daily functioning, don’t stress. We may need to write reminders, notes or lists but if this increases to mild cognitive impairment we increase the risk of dementia by three to five times and should begin planning for the future and taking action to delay onset.

It is important to note that not all dementia is Alzheimer's disease and not all forgetfulness is dementia. Alzheimer's is only one form of dementia and the most common. It occurs when chemicals destroy neurons in parts of the brain. Patients may repeatedly ask questions, can’t recall what they ate for breakfast, give vague responses, can’t make plans, misunderstand instructions or messages, become disorientated, lack motivation, no longer recognise family members and often undergo a change in personality. Family members and friends often miss the early signs when it is 'mild' and only realise when it becomes 'moderate' and the patient can no longer care for themselves. In advanced cases patients need 24/7 care. Vascular dementia is often combined with Alzheimer's and may follow a stroke if the brain is deprived of sufficient blood. Causes include high blood pressure, alcohol, high cholesterol and being overweight.

Lewy body dementia results from interferences in brain cells causing tremors similar to Parkinson's disease. A patient loses mobility and sense of smell and suffers constipation and delusions. Those who suffer frontal temporal lobe dementia become dramatically aggressive or fearful. They may lose language and forget even basic things. This is more common in younger patients who may also suffer familial Alzheimer's through inherited genes. medications are available but research shows changes in lifestyle can reduce risks by up to 40%. Dr Gramae Pagel recommends we keep moving, reduce tummy weight, keep our brains active through reading, research and education, get help for depression, get hearing aids, have plenty of sleep, eat lots of fish and follow a Mediterranean diet. Visit: dementia.org.au or phone the helpline on 1800 100 500. Source: Workshop with Dr Gramae Pagel, MBBS. FRACGP, GP Supervisor and Medical Educator (2023). We must recognise signs such as memory loss affecting job skills, difficulty performing tasks, becoming disorientated by time or place, poor judgement (especially when driving), problems with language and abstract thinking, misplacing things, loss of initiative and changes in mood or behaviour. Smoking and vaping hugely increase the risk of dementia.

Giant barred frog

Find a frog in February Over the past seven years residents of the Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Gympie and Fraser Coast local government areas have submitted around 20,000 records covering 38 species to the Find a Frog in February program. The program helps to improve knowledge of frog activity, determine normal trends and monitor and understand population changes. Frogs are easy to find during the warmer months especially after rain. The Mary River catchment and surrounds supports around 45 frog species. Nearly a quarter of these are vulnerable, endangered or have disappeared mostly due to reduced habitat quality, swamp draining, vegetation clearing and weed invasion. Other pressures include predation by feral animals – cats eat around 44 frogs each per year (CSIRO, 2020) – and diseases that can kill frogs such as Chytrid fungus.

• Provide water – ponds, dams, swamps, creeks and low areas that fill when it rains – with a variety of vegetation, structures and some bare areas. • Don’t move eggs, tadpoles or frogs about as this increases the risk of disease spreading. • Keep pollutants out of the environment. Chemicals travel easily in water that flows across the land, along drains and through the soil profile. Soap is a frog’s enemy! • Keep your cats indoors at night as they hunt frogs and other wildlife. There are a number of ways to send your observations: • MRCCC website – download and fill out a Frog finders record sheet: mrccc.org.au/frog-infebruary. • Join iNaturalist and the Find a Frog in February project link at: inaturalist.ala.org.au. • Get the FrogID app and join the Find a Frog in February group to submit your recordings. For more information visit: findafrog@mrccc.org.au or phone: 5482 4766.

Discover hidden heroes of the rainforest Visitors to the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve at Maleny now have the chance to meet some of nature’s hidden heroes thanks to a new interactive exhibition at the Rainforest Discovery Centre. To help local frogs: • Keep some areas ‘messy’ with logs and branches, leaf litter, rock piles and tall grass. A high-rise structure provides homes for more frogs than a single-story dwelling. 18

These heroes are recycling superstars. From earthworms and snails to strangler figs, vines and seed-spreading topknot pigeons their amazing teamwork sustains a paradise. Sunshine Coast Division 5 Cr Winston Johnston invited those with a passion for nature to spend some time at the reserve. “In the forest no

one species can survive on its own or is more important than another,” he said.

that need care with trees planted to extend and connect existing koala habitats.

The reserve is comprised of a complex interconnected web of species and ecosystem processes. Within this web there are key teams or groups of species which underpin the ongoing functioning of the reserve. These are the connectors, the recyclers, the providers, the elementals and the all-rounders. Together these species function as a team to sustain the forest.

SCC Environment and Liveability Portfolio Cr Maria Suarez said that with a united approach we can help this threatened species survive in our wildlife-friendly biosphere. “While we do know a little about koalas in some small pockets of the Sunshine Coast this project will give us a bigger view and understanding of the local population,” said Cr Suarez.

The new interactive exhibit is open seven days from 9.30am-3.30pm at the Rainforest Discovery Centre. Visit: mary-cairncross.sunshinecoast.qld. gov.au and search for ‘forest fellowship’.

The UniSC Detection Dogs for Conservation research group will work on the ground to give us a big picture view of where koalas live across the region said Dr Romane Cristescu. “This project will build new knowledge for targeted on-ground conservation efforts, habitat restoration and treatment of chlamydial disease. As well as informing and enabling koala threat abatement it will contribute valuable koala density data which is critical to validating and refining current koala habitat modelling and contributing to the National Koala Monitoring Program.”

Saving Sunshine Coast Koalas Thanks to almost $200,000 from an Australian government grant, the Saving Koalas Fund, a new project Saving Sunshine Coast Koalas will see five partners – Sunshine Coast Council (SCC), First Nations Peoples, University of Sunshine Coast Detection Dogs for Conservation research group, Brush Turkey Enterprises and Mooloolah River LandCare – work together to fill the knowledge gap. Little is known about how and where this iconic Australian species lives on the Sunshine Coast but that is about to change. Learning more about the secret lives of these much-loved animals will help improve recovery efforts. Cutting-edge science including artificial intelligence, koala bellow recognition programs, drone-mounted thermal imagery, detection dogs and next-generation scat genetic analyses will be used. These techniques will provide valuable insight into the local koala population including where they live, numbers, their state of health and what they eat. Surveys in the region’s relatively inaccessible habitat will look for koalas

EUMUNDI ROTARY CLUB

Flood Disaster Appeal Fund Australia has once again been impacted by extreme flooding and the effect on residents has been traumatic. Many have lost access to food and water and access to their towns with some even losing their animals and homes. Rotary is on the front foot to help combat the relief required with Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) establishing a Flood Disaster Appeal Fund to receive donated funds to disperse through the appropriate Rotary districts and clubs in support of those severely impacted by floods. To raise funds to support humanitarian relief projects for those impacted by flood disasters within Australia, tax deductible donations can be made at: directory.rawcs.com.au/33-2023-24 or via an online donation link: donations.rawcs. com.au/33-2023-24.

YOUTH

Lunchbox bliss As we begin a new year my head starts to focus on organising lunches (yawn). Oh, how lunches have changed over the decades!

what I do now – which is online shopping – however the kids have chosen their items and written them on our shopping list.

Far from the simple sandwich and apple solution when I was at primary school, today’s lunches are much more exciting. Even so there have been days when almost the complete lunch came home so I got savvy and enrolled the kids to make their own.

This planning makes it super simple for your children to make their own lunches either the evening before or the morning of school. Now that’s lunchbox bliss … Robyn Simpson

The benefits of having kids create their own delectable delights are many. Firstly, it saves me time. Secondly, they actually quite enjoy the whole process of learning what to shop for and how to prepare it. Thirdly, they eat everything because they appreciate the effort taken and it is food they have chosen. Here’s what I do … 1. Decide on the boundaries for lunches. For example the food must keep well in hot weather, be nutritious, have limited litter and include at least two serves of fruit or vegetables. 2. Decide on a budget for lunch shopping. 3. Have each child pre-plan what they would like to put in their lunch boxes for the coming week. 4. If you want to make it a fully integrated educational shopping experience take the kids to the supermarket and allow them to choose, weigh items and check out good deals. They also get an idea of the value of food. Over time you may choose to do 23

COOKING

Authentic Chicken Biriyani Here in Australia we are lucky to have a variety of foods introduced by foreign cultures. While we may enjoy the variety, they are not all necessarily exactly what is eaten in their country of origin. Many restaurants ‘Australianise’ their food to make it more attractive to the Australian palate. While most of the changes are subtle they still result in a dish that is quite different in taste to the original. This is often the case with the dishes we enjoy in an Indian restaurant. These restaurants don’t normally reflect the great variety of Indian food that exists depending on what part of the country it comes from. I recently watched a series on TV with Gordon Ramsay travelling to India to see if the curries and other Indian food in the UK were the same as where they originated. I was not surprised to see that he was amazed at the difference in taste as well as the variety in the preparation process. Gordon commented that the taste was amazing and the cooks/chefs did not use the same basic sauces for all their curries. In fact he took part in helping prepare for a 1,000 guest wedding and commented that preparing the Biriyani dish was comparable to preparing a dish in a Michelin Star restaurant back in the UK. Biriyani is a dish that mixes the curry with the rice and is a favourite at weddings and other festive occasions. It is normally prepared in a pot that is sealed like a pressure cooker using dough to seal the lid on the pot. However, there is an easier way to produce an authentic, lovely tasting Biriyani at home. 24

You will need: • 500g boneless and skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces (I tend to prefer bone-in chicken cutlets with the bone removed but added to the curry while cooking – the bones do add flavour) • 200ml natural yoghurt • 1 tsp ground turmeric • 1 tsp hot chilli powder (optional depending on your level of tolerance) • 1 tsp garam masala • 3cm knob of ginger, peeled and grated (you can use powdered or processed ginger but not quite as good) • Garlic to taste • 1 tsp vegetable oil • 2 tbsp ghee or melted unsalted butter • 2 medium onions peeled and finely sliced • 1 cinnamon stick • 5-6 cloves • 3 cardamom pods (bite or bash the pods to open them up but don’t tell your guests if you bit them!) • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Method Place the chicken in a bowl with the yoghurt, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala and half the ginger and garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well to coat the chicken pieces evenly. Cover the bowl with cling film and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Heat the oil and one tablespoon of ghee or butter in a heavy based pan and fry the onions, stirring frequently, over a medium heat for about 8-10 mins until they soften and brown. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, squeezing out any excess oil first. Set aside. Add the remaining ghee or butter to the pan and tip in the cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. Fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the remaining garlic and ginger for another minute. Add the chicken and marinade to the pan and stir well. Simmer for about 10 minutes over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through. Now for the slightly different process. Cook your rice how you normally cook it but with a cinnamon stick, cardamom pods and one clove. Make sure the rice is well cooked and dry and fluffy – best to coincide with when the curry is cooked. Don’t forget to remove the bones before you add the rice. Fold the rice into the curry and mix gently. Sprinkle with chopped coriander and mint and cashews (if you like cashews). Serve immediately. “Aanand lena” – means enjoy in Hindi. Greg Ison

SPORT

Play for the Eumundi Dragons Eumundi Dragons Rugby Union Club is looking forward to the start of another exciting rugby season in 2024. Club sign-ons are being held on 27 January from 4-5.30pm and 3 February from 4-6pm at the Eumundi Showgrounds. All are welcome regardless of fitness level or experience. The club plans to provide teams for children from 5yo (born 2019) to 13yo (born 2011). The season launch will be on 3 February with Come + Try Rugby related fun games, a Qld Reds players meet and greet, free sausage sizzle and drinks. Plans are underway to install full field lighting at the Eumundi Showgrounds which will not only benefit junior rugby but also other community organisations that use the grounds. After three years of background work by a dedicated small group of volunteers, designs have been sourced and approved that will meet the needs of present and future users of the facility. With the cooperation of local businesses, SCC, Sport and Recreation Organisation and state and federal governments it is hoped the necessary funding will be sourced to make a start on this landmark initiative.

Artistic locals Eumundi's creative side got into the festive spirit recently. Locals may have noticed a ute tray that was dumped on the side of the road near the train bridge roundabout. An artistic local or locals decided to take this eyesore and turn it into a piece of art. Prior to Christmas it was decorated with tinsel and sported a red and green festive paint job. It was then revamped for the new year. Hats off to the local/s who turned an abandoned ute tray into an art installation! In sad news for some and 'good riddance' for others it appears the ute has now been towed away.

ON THIS DAY

Waitangi House

Treaty of Waitangi With Australia’s national day approaching we once again reflect on our national identity and what 26 January means for Australia’s First Nations people. It can be instructive to look at the experience of other countries. Our neighbour NZ will have its own public holiday on 6 February to celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. On that date in 1840 the treaty was signed by 40 Maori chiefs and representatives of the British Crown. By the end of that year more than 500 Maori chiefs had signed. The treaty was designed to share sovereignty between the two groups and is considered a founding document of NZ's developing unwritten constitution. Unlike Australia NZ does not have a single constitutional document but is a combination of various sources of legislation and common law practices. The Waitangi Treaty is an agreement – not a treaty – as recognised in international law and has no independent legal status, being legally effective only to the extent it is recognised in various statutes.

The pathway since 1840 has been rocky mostly because there were two translations – one in Maori and one in English – which were not exact translations of one another and created different understandings of what the Treaty said. In 1975 the NZ Government established the Waitangi Tribunal to decide issues raised by the differences between the two translations and investigate alleged breaches of the Treaty, both past and present, by the Crown. If the Waitangi Tribunal decides that the government broke a Treaty promise it suggests how it could make things right. In most cases Tribunal recommendations are not binding on the Crown but settlements have been awarded to various Maori groups. Rhonda Piggott

DAY TRIPS

Day trip to Doggrell Forest Did you know that just outside of Kin Kin there are some very old and very large Gympie messmate trees that survived heavy logging in that area? They are at Doggrell Forest on Gympie Kin Kin Rd around 10km out of town.

Once you’ve explored the Doggrell Forest trail pop into the newly renovated Kin Kin Hotel for a drink and a bite to eat. Rhonda Piggott

There is a short return walking trail of about 1.2km that takes you past examples of these imposing trees some of which tower at over 60m tall! Messmate trees grow straight up with no lower branches. They were used for power poles or sawn into round pieces for bridge and wharf construction. You can see cut marks in the stumps of some trees where loggers cut holds for their boards to help them climb the tree to fell it.
