Mooloolah Valley facility an Australian first The first Eating Disorder Clinic in Australia, to be located on Old Gympie Road at Mooloolah Valley, has taken major steps forward. Sunshine Coast Council has approved the development application and last week the charity received a significant donation from well known Sunshine Coast philanthropists Roy and Nola Thompson. Roy recently handed a cheque for $1 million over to Mark Forbes who, along with his wife Gay, are the co-founders of the endED charity. Mark shared with me the story of his meeting with Roy and the informal way he advised Mark of his and Nola’s decision to support the centre. Mark is clearly grateful for Roy's generosity and admired his humble approach to the support. The huge donation is a significant step forward on the charity’s journey to turning a vision into a reality. And while the rest of us may not be in a position to provide such a large donation, there is another, fun and glamorous way you can support the group – by attending ‘The Main

Event’, a fundraising cocktail evening on July 20 at the Lake Kawana Community Centre. Tickets are $150 per person and can be purchased from the website: ended.org.au/events. When the project is complete the not-for-profit facility will offers a safe haven for people suffering from an eating disorder to begin their journey to a recovered self. Mark said the facility will provide residential treatment options, as well as out-patient services and day programs for continuation of care, focusing primarily on teaching individuals “how”
to recover. “It will provide specialist care using evidencebased research recognised as world best practice,” he said. “Individualised programs combining psychological, conventional and functional medicine, and whole person therapy based treatment will be offered in the rural residential setting." Now that the development application has successfully gone through council the purchase of the property will settle in early July. The next stage of the project will be for the organisation to find businesses that will support the construction work. They will be looking for civil contractors and tradespeople to complete roofing, trusses, tiling, windows and doors, as well as material donations. If you would like to find out more about the organisation or would like to support the work they are doing, visit www.endED.org.au or call Mark on 0407 592 932.

They say that once you have travelled to Africa that it gets into your blood – for Glenview locals Steve and Teena Chumbley this is definitely true. Steve, a zoology graduate from the UK, always had a love for wildlife, and spent many years living in Malawi as a child. Teena hails from a remote property in Western Australia and has enjoyed a successful career in education. The couple met while teaching in an International School in Kuwait 20 years ago, where they decided to try something different and travelled to Arusha,Tanzania with their back packs and lots of ideas. A few years later they started their company, The Infinite Horizon – a travel company offering tailormade safaris to exciting destinations in Africa. Teena said their clients appreciate being able to
discuss the types of experiences they are looking for, and that she and Steve can provide unbiased opinions, innovative ideas and create tailor-made itineraries to suit their individual needs. “You may be looking to see the Tanzanian wildlife, where it is possible to see ‘the big five’ – elephant, rhino, buffalo, leopards and lions, or maybe Kilimanjaro or the Serengeti fires your passion. We can help,” she said. “Please call us today on 0457 249 998 or visit www.theinfinitehorizon.net to make your dream a reality.”
New owner for Mooloolah Beauty Spot Mooloolah Beauty Spot has recently changed hands and the new owner is local lady Sandy Caddy. Having previously owned beauty salons, Sandy brings 32 years industry experience to her new business venture and says she is looking forward to putting in her own touches. Relocating to Mooloolah 18 months ago, she had been working at the salon since May last year, and so when the opportunity came up to purchase the business she jumped at the chance. “Since December, when I bought the business, I’m have slowly been doing an internal makeover and revamping the salon with a ‘modern country’ feel,” Sandy said.

locals supporting locals Scarecrow competition now open A new community competition run by the Mooloolah Valley Bush Telegraph is encouraging Mooloolah locals to get creative and put together entries in a super hero themed scarecrow competition. Promoted via the Mooloolah Valley Bush Telegraph Facebook group, entries for the inaugural scarecrow competition opened at the beginning of the month and Mooloolah residents have until Monday May 28 to submit an online entry form. Organisers are hoping to secure at least 30 entries before the closing date, and a host of local businesses have thrown their support behind this fun community initiative donating some awesome prizes.
Scarecrows will be on display during the month of June and no doubt will provide an entertaining drawcard for Mooloolah visitors and locals alike. Once all the entries have been received, a downloadable map will be available via the competition website for people to view the entries around the area. A panel of judges will shortlist six of the best, and the ‘scarecrow finalists’ will be displayed at the café in Mooloolah. The winner will be announced on July 1. So get your creative juices flowing and get your family and friends together to plan your ‘Super Hero Scarecrow’. For more details and to enter, visit www.mooloolah.com.
