THE GREAT AWAKENING!
AWAKENING IN THE VALLEY WITH KASEY MARILYN
Kasey Marilyn is an international Psychic Medium, Counsellor, Past Life Regressionist and a Self-Published Author. Most of Kasey’s work is online in recent years with clients all over the world, however residents of the Sunshine Coast can enjoy inperson sessions right here in Imbil, in the heart of the Mary Valley. Kasey also teaches Psychic Development and Past Life Regression as one of her many hats she wears. In 2025 Kasey released “The Past Life & Ancestry Oracle”, which has been very successful, selling out in shops that stock her cards. Kasey also facilitates regular In-Between Worlds Guided Meditations at the Mooloolaba Salt Caves, which are truly transcendent if you can allow yourself to let go for your journey. The world is shifting as we know it, so people are needing a variety of tools for selfexploration more than ever.
This year in particular is the year of the great awakening, where the old structures are now collapsing, that will reveal a new Earth. This is the year that the underdogs come out of hiding and rise back up to be seen and heard. Kasey knows this story very well, having lived a life feeling safe hiding away from the spotlight, which she had to work through after releasing her Oracle Cards. There is a sense of celebration and release of the old restrictive stories and stepping into freedom right now on the collective level, especially for many women. This is why Kasey turned her dream into reality getting on a beautiful white horse in a red dress, thanks to the amazing Linda and Olly at Solace Farm in Imbil. The photoshoot magically aligned on the full blood moon lunar eclipse on the 3rd day of the 3rd month 2026, the year of the Fire Horse. What a perfect time to celebrate women rising to freedom and truth! Red is the colour that symbolises women, and the number three is creation and fertility, so this lunar eclipse was like a cosmic reset for the divine feminine consciousness. The year of the fire horse is about movement going forward, with the element of fire to propel us, mixed with a little chaos of the world wars right now.
Our world has been a cyclical pattern of birth, death, destruction and rebirth since the dawn of time, so we must trust that what may fall and cause destruction this year, will make room for new growth and a rebirth. Easter in its pagan roots celebrates this same aspect, especially the rebirth, being reborn again. There are amazing strong women that live in the Mary Valley, and with “Mary” in our place name, how could it not attract so many beautiful women who are intelligent and creative, in service to help community. Land holds energy, and even the name of a place is symbolic for itself. Though I think most of us who live here know how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place that holds a soft energy of healing, relaxation, restoration and safety. With all of the mountains, rivers and creeks that lead us all to water, we are very blessed. ~ Kasey Marilyn

HISTORICAL: BOWLS THROUGH THE YEARS
q Lower Kenilworth School 1930s
EASTER SPORTS DAY, 1906 STYLE
It is interesting to learn of community events that were staged in years gone by. Easter Sports days were highly anticipated in the early 1900’s as may be determined from the report in the Nambour Chronicle and North Coast Advertiser published on page 3 of the 27.4.1906 edition.
A large crowd gathered at Yahoo Creek to witness the sports. The various events were well contested and there were exciting finishes. The most interesting event of the day was the wood-chopping contest. Nine competitors toed the mark and being all local men excitement was high. However some good work was put in, and the competitors have no reason to feel ashamed of themselves. The ball at night, in aid of the Brisbane hospital was a great success, the school room being crowded to excess. The duties of the M.C were carried out in a capable manner, and the music was supplied by Mr. McCormack (violin) and various performers on the accordion. Several of the dances had to be repeated three times in order to give everybody a show. The following are the results of more of the chief events.

u Mums on sports day
In the young ladies race, there was a tied finish between A. Pearce and J. Sutton who divided the prize money between them. The Hop Step and Jump was keenly contested with A. Whalley winning with a distance of 34ft 7ins. Mr Whalley afterwards gave an exhibition jump of 35ft 4ins.
Historic note: Yahoo Creek is now named Gheerulla Creek and the school room referred to is the original Kenilworth School building that later became the Kenilworth Lower school, the Scout Den in Kenilworth township and now a private home.

LOCAL TRADES & BUSINESSES
SUNSHINE COAST PRIORITIES
SAVING SUNSHINE COAST HOSPITALITY AND ENTERTAINMENT VENUES
The collapse of iconic Sunshine Coast venues has raised serious concerns about the future of the region’s live music, entertainment and hospitality scene, prompting Federal Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien MP to launch a new community campaign, ‘Save Our Venues’.
Recent closures, including Solbar and The Station, have sent shockwaves through the Coast’s music and hospitality sector, highlighting mounting financial and regulatory pressures facing local businesses.
Mr O’Brien said the loss of local venues was devastating, with impacts that extend well beyond the businesses themselves.
“A thriving hospitality, entertainment and music scene is about far more than a few bars and stages – it is part of what gives the Sunshine Coast its unique cultural identity,” Mr O’Brien said.
“When venues close, we lose jobs, we lose opportunities for local patrons, musicians and performers alike and we lose part of what makes the Sunshine Coast such a vibrant place to live and visit.”
“These closures are a warning sign that something is wrong. Many operators are telling me they are under enormous pressure from rising costs, shrinking margins and growing red tape.”
As part of Save Our Venues, Mr O’Brien has launched a monthlong community consultation, including a short online survey and a series of in-person visits to venues across the Sunshine Coast.
As part of his Autumn Road Trip around the electorate, Mr O’Brien will visit cafes, bars and pubs to speak directly with venue owners, workers and patrons about the challenges facing the sector.
“That’s why I’m launching Save Our Venues – to get out across the Sunshine Coast, visit local venues and hear directly from the people running them,” Mr O’Brien said.
“I’m encouraging venue owners, workers and locals to fill out the survey and share their experiences so we can better understand what’s happening on the ground.”
The consultation will help build a clearer picture of the pressures facing local venues and inform a community-
led response, bringing together industry and community voices to identify practical solutions.
Mr O’Brien said the challenges facing local venues reflect broader pressures on small businesses across Australia.
“Across the country, small businesses are under extraordinary pressure,” he said.
“Over the past four years more than 41,000 businesses have collapsed, with last year recording the highest number of insolvencies in Australia’s history, and this year is on track to be even worse.”
“When small businesses are pushed to the brink, hospitality venues are often the first to feel the pain.”
Mr O’Brien said the Save Our Venues campaign is ultimately about giving the community a voice and driving real action.
“We cannot afford to sit back and watch the Sunshine Coast’s live music and entertainment scene disappear,” he said.
“This campaign is about bringing the community together, shining a light on the pressures facing the sector and fighting for the changes needed to protect it.”
Venue owners, hospitality workers and patrons are encouraged to take part by completing the survey at tedobrien.com.au/local-campaigns/save-our-local-venues
The survey will remain open until 24 April 2026.
NATURE & ECOSYSTEMS
PARTHENIUM WEED
A weed of the 500-800 mm rain belt in Queensland, Parthenium Weed was recently in the Kenilworth area. Parthenium Weed is one of the 20 Weeds of National Significance (WoNS) and is a major weed of concern in Queensland. Internationally it is considered one of the most noxious, harmful weed species. It is a contaminant in agricultural and livestock industries, and can have health impacts for plants, animals, and humans.
Known also as Famine Weed, Parthenium is allelopathic towards other plants, causing loss of yield and vigour. It contains chemicals that are irritants and allergens to humans and animals and is a trigger for allergies such as asthma and hay fever and other adverse respiratory reactions. Ingesting the sap can cause blisters and burning of mucous membranes in the mouth, throat, and gut.
Parthenium weed is an annual that grows to 1.5 metres tall. It starts as a large rosette of deeply divided leaves and as it moves into its reproductive stage it produces a tall branched inflorescence with numerous white flowers. It is capable of germinating
THERE’S A LANDCARE HERO IN YOUR TOWN – NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN FOR THE 2026 QUEENSLAND LANDCARE AWARDS
From small country towns to city suburbs, there’s almost certainly a landcare group, farmer, volunteer or community champion quietly caring for the land right where you live – and now they could be recognised on a statewide stage.
APRIL 09, 2026: Nominations are officially open for the 2026 Queensland Landcare Awards, celebrating the everyday Queenslanders who are restoring bushland, protecting waterways, improving soils, caring for coastlines and looking after the environment in their own local communities.
Whether it’s a volunteer group regenerating a creek, a farming family trialling sustainable practices, a school
introducing children to landcare, or a First Nations organisation caring for Country, the Queensland Landcare Awards shine a spotlight on the people making real change on the ground. Anyone can nominate – including self-nominations –and nominations are free.
Nominations close Friday, 31 July 2026.
“We strongly encourage individuals and groups across Queensland to get involved again this year. Nominating someone is a powerful way to recognise their contribution, celebrate their impact at a state level, and raise the profile of the important work happening in local communities helping ensure it continues to grow and thrive" said Michael Bond, Chair of QWaLC.
The Queensland Landcare Awards are a prestigious biennial state program, recognising individuals, groups and organisations who are making
and setting seed in as little as 4 weeks. Each flower produces 4-5 seeds that can remain dormant and viable for up to 20 years. Seeds can be distributed by water, animals, and wind, but its most effective vectors are vehicles and machinery.
A Category 3 restricted plant you must not give it away, sell it or release it into the environment, and under your GBO you must take all reasonable and practical measures to minimise the biosecurity risks associated with dealing with Parthenium. Local government agencies must have a biosecurity plan that covers invasive plants in its area which may include actions to be taken on parthenium.

outstanding contributions to caring for the environment. Nominating someone is a powerful way to:
• Spotlight the incredible work happening in your local area
• Celebrate community leadership and volunteerism
• Raise awareness and support for ongoing landcare efforts
• Help successful initiatives grow and inspire others
The Queensland Landcare Awards feature a diverse range of categories, spanning all ages and areas of interest.
If you know a local legend who deserves recognition – or if you’re part of a group quietly doing great work – now is the time to tell their story. For more information or to nominate please go to:

PLAYGROUND UPGRADE: LOVED OR LACKING?
KENILWORTH PLAYGROUND: SAFE, SIMPLE… OR MISSING THE SPARK?
If you’ve wandered past the newly updated Kenilworth playground lately, you’ve probably noticed something interesting, it’s not just the kids with opinions.
Around town, conversations have been quietly bubbling. Some parents are loving the fresh feel: clean, tidy, and thoughtfully designed. Others are wondering, where did the fun go?
There’s no doubt the new playground reflects a broader shift we’re seeing everywhere. Safer equipment. Softer edges. Designs that meet modern standards and reduce risk. For many families, that brings peace of mind. You can sit back a little more, sip your coffee, and know your child is less likely to come home with a broken bone (or at least fewer dramatic stories).
But for others, something feels missing.
The tall climbs. The wobbly bridges. The slightly-too-fast slides that made your stomach drop. The kind of play that tested courage, built confidence, and occasionally resulted in a scraped knee and a lifelong memory.
"Who designed and absolutely butchered our park!?!" said a disgruntled anonymous post on the Facebook community board.
"This is such a missed opportunity, why didn't they ask the community what we think?"
So we went out into the community to ask what people thought.
"First they took the helicopter, now they've taken the big slide!" said one local kid.
"The fence is great but the new playground equipment is too safe." Said one mum visiting with her children.
"It's the flying fox that I'm sad about but they said they're bringing that back" said a local teenager.
It raises a bigger question for our community:
What do we want play to feel like for our children?
Playgrounds aren’t just about equipment or fences. They are about risk, imagination, resilience, and freedom.
Some locals are celebrating the upgrade as a necessary evolution: safe being fenced from the busy road, accessible, and inclusive. Others feel it has become too controlled, predictable and boring. Maybe, like most things in small communities, the truth sits somewhere in the middle.
What’s clear is this: people care. That in itself is something worth celebrating. It means we are still paying attention to how our children grow, explore, and belong in this place we call home.

"What part of it is ruined? I think having it fully fenced is such a great addition! Especially having multiple kids of different ages, so helpful to know that they are safe"

Wild dog baiting program
Council is supporting a communitybased wild dog baiting program from 20 April to 24 May on participating rural properties to protect wildlife and livestock. Sites will be signed, with residents within 1.5 km notified. Roadside signs will also be in place. Pet owners should keep pets contained and dogs on-leash. See Council’s website for more. Skies filled with stars
Council is working to establish an internationally recognised Dark Sky Reserve in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Our dark, star-filled skies are a defining feature of the Biosphere and support both wildlife and community wellbeing. You can help reduce light pollution by using outdoor lighting only when needed, directing it downward, keeping it dim, using timers or motion sensors and choosing warm-coloured lights. Together, we can protect our night skies. Visit Council’s website for more details.
Council’s next Ordinary Meeting View on Council's website or at Sunshine Coast City Hall Chambers at 9am, 23 April.
From school to skills
Council’s high school work experience program gives Year 9–12 students practical, hands-on insight into working life across areas like parks and gardens, community services, environment, digital, planning and admininstration. Build confidence and skills year- round. Learn more: careers.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.

CR DAVID LAW DIVISION 10 – SUNSHINE COAST COUNCIL
Park improvements: Kenilworth Town Park renovations are complete and were ready for all your Easter fun. The site has been reorganised and has been fully fenced with new play equipment installed and some refurbished. Including new softfall and grass areas. We are waiting for the delivery of the flying fox which will be installed when it arrives in the coming weeks.
New amenity at Kirbys Road Environment Reserve: Construction of the new LooCube modular toilet within Kirbys Road Environment Reserve is also now complete. This will make a real difference for the many passionate bush-care volunteers and the bushwalking club who have helped care for the bush and construct trails, bush regeneration contractors, Jinibara caring for country TAFE students who use the site for their field training activities and any local bushwalkers who are exploring the reserve. Importantly, this toilet won’t be for general day-use at the entrance car park. It’s designed specifically to support those working and recreating further inside the reserve. You can join our BushCare volunteers to help conserve our local bushland with community planting events and regular working bees. Search for BushCare on Council's website to register as a volunteer.
Protecting our dark skies for future generations: The Sunshine Coast is a big step closer to protecting one of its most special natural assets – our night skies. Council has endorsed an application to seek international recognition for a Dark Sky Reserve in our hinterland, covering parts of the Mary River catchment and surrounding national parks.
This area benefits from natural shielding by the Blackall Range, giving it outstanding night sky quality that is becoming increasingly rare. By pursuing Dark Sky Reserve status, we’re committing to responsible lighting that protects wildlife, supports ecosystems and preserves the wonder of a truly star-filled sky.
This has been years in the making and reflects strong community support, technical work and monitoring. If successful, it will complement our UNESCO Biosphere status, boost wellbeing, and create sustainable nature-based tourism opportunities. As our region grows, this is about making smart choices – using the right light, in the right place, at the right time – so our Sunshine Coast continues to shine, without losing the stars above us.

CR WINSTON JOHNSTON DIVISION 5 - SC COUNCIL
Festival for the Range: The Rangebow Festival is evolving as a muchloved celebration of creativity, inclusion and community spirit across our Hinterland towns. It reflects the very best of who we are, especially as part of our Sunshine Coast Biosphere, which celebrates people and nature working in harmony. Each year it brings people together in meaningful ways, honouring local stories, cultural expression and the unique character of Maleny, Montville, Flaxton and Mapleton.
I’m delighted to see the 2026 program continue to grow and to see our communities continue to embrace a festival that reflects who we are and what makes the Sunshine Coast Hinterland so special.
Speed change for safety: To improve safety along our hinterland roads Council’s Speed Management Committee has recently reviewed Mountain View Road in Maleny and Neill Road in the Mooloolah Valley. I’m pleased to advise that Council will now be reducing the speed limit on both roads to 60km/h. This means the entire length from the intersection of Maleny–Stanley River Road through to Landsborough–Maleny Road will become a continuous 60km/h zone.
A works order has now been issued to Traffic Network Operations for the installation of the new signage. Subject to weather conditions, it is expected that these works will be delivered within approximately six weeks.

OH HOW SWEET IT IS!
A Timber Cottage, a shed and a shack!
The perfect rural setting awaits you at 176 Goomong Road, Kandanga.
This very cute timber cottage is complimented by a delightful front porch reminding you of an era where time passed slowly and peacefully. With restored timber French doors, polish original floorboards inside and painted exterior chamfer boards, this cottage does blend perfectly into the landscape.
Two spacious bedrooms, plus an additional study that could be used as a third bedroom or home office if needed.
The open plan kitchen and dining areas open out onto the rear deck, another area to relax and admire the uninterrupted outlook.
A welcoming living room is completed with gas convection heating for the colder months. This room is gener-
ous in size allowing space for those who prefer to decorate with antiques and treasures of yesteryear.
A combined bathroom and laundry that also has the benefit of direct access to the rear deck.
A well-constructed steel frame shed on a concrete slab sits behind the house with good side access. This shed is ideal for the home handyman and yet still has plenty of room for vehicles. Extra height and ease of access this shed is very advantageous for those who need to store their Van or Motorhome.
In addition to the shed is an old timber shack that is perfect for storing non valuable items. The shack has been sitting there for a very long time just waiting for someone to come along
and restore it. The possibilities here have great scope.
A near level block consisting of 1897m2 that comes fenced on three sides (new fencing). Very fertile soil that is evidenced by the large productive farming land that surrounds it.
With little to no road noise and the benefit being on a no through road; this one offers everything there is for a country rural lifestyle without all that land to manage. 78
