Community Diary
Fionas Fancies has closed because of Fionas back pain We like seeing horses on Memorial Drive Things have slowed down this February Parking is painful at school drop off on market days An art gallery is opening in March behind the post offi ce Every Thursday night theres life drawing classes in the CWA So many mangoes! There should be a Katie Rose Hospice op-shop in Eumundi
Really, youd be hard pressed to fi nd a dull moment in Eumundi. There is always an amazing event happening, local inspiring course on offer, or people rallying to support a good cause or community group. The next fortnight is no exception.
Its also never a dull moment at the Eumundi Green editors desk. This issues native animal special guest stars were a mother and baby possum getting stuck in the chimney twice and a baby python falling through the chimney fl ue then hiding in the book shelves. The last couple of nights, another curious baby possum has taken to throwing itself onto the offi ce window screen. Cute but very distracting especially when it and the screen fell off and into the darkness.

Eumundi Aquatic Centre Richard McLean
Q: What and where is your business?
We are a Sunshine Coast Council facility located at the southern end of Memorial Dr near the tennis courts. My business has leased the premises. We were the number one swimming club in the Wide Bay region in 2013.
Q: How long have you been in business in Eumundi?
The facility opened on Australia Day 2006. Our latest business adventure is our new Gymnasium.
Q: What made you choose Eumundi to base your business?
In 2006 I was offered the position as Director of Swimming at Brisbane Boys Grammar School in Brisbane and had to choose if it was a location where my wife Caroline and I wanted our kids to grow up Eumundi was an easy choice then and now! I have worked across QLD as a physical education teacher and have resided in small towns including; Thursday Island, Atherton and Bribie Island. The opportunity to create the footprint of swim culture in Eumundi was exciting professionally and personally. A new swim venue at a wonderful location was a great lure.
Q: What is the best thing about working here?
Eumundi has a heartbeat like no other. A relaxed yet inspiring feeling which allows me to be both proactive and positive.
Q: What is the worst thing youve found about working here?
As a business owner it is sometimes diffi cult to get product or supplies in town. Also very disappointing, most of the folk who were so positive in enticing us to be part of the town dont actually frequent.
Q: What would you like to see change in our business district?
Growth! If we are to develop as a town then we need to support existing businesses and support the development of new enterprises.
New caf full of sunshine
So long for now
Sunspace Caf on Eumundi-Noosa Rd in Doonan, is already proving really popular with locals stopping by for coffee, yummy vegetarian, organic and biodynamic food, or a yoga class or massage upstairs. Owners Tom, Wakako, Neale and Sharina have done a lovely job creating a beautiful caf that has a close connection to the garden. Tom said, Its a creation in progress, with a produce store, permaculture classes and event venue all in the works. Gardeners Orion and Jason (right) have started growing the lush garden around the caf that will eventually provide fresh produce for the kitchen and to sell in the store.
Over the past four years Fiona of Fionas Fancies, has loved making cakes for peoples special events, but closed from last Saturday. Fiona wants to thank everyone for their support, especially Anne Shepherd whos been like a second mum, Max (pictured) who has been a big help and many other wonderful friends and mentors. Fiona doesnt want to stop but needs to take time out for back surgery. I plan to re-open again in about a year and a half, she said.
Fionas Fancies is having a closing party on Monday 24 Feb, in the at Eumundi Village courtyard at 5.30pm. BYO drinks.

Sunday afternoon LIVE AT THE BOHOMO SWAGGER TRIO 2pm March - 2pm The Bohemian Bungalow is so excited to welcome back the fabulous Mo Swagger. Come and while away Sunday afternoon and let them charm you with their uplifting mix of R&B soul and pop, a fl avor of (Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, Allen Stone, and Adele to mention a few). Jess, Dwight and Dyon are a Sunny Coast delight!! So bring your toe tapping spirit, it will be a gig to remember!
Its common knowledge that most startup businesses fail within the fi rst few years of operating simply because Cash Flow is King! Every business must have money fl owing in and out to make the wheels turn. Those looking to start their own business can get so excited by their brilliant idea they dont analyse the detailed numbers of the venture.
What is your bottom line?Your bottom line is a very unpopular document called a budget. It is that magic point at which a business stops paying bills and actually starts making a profi t. If you have covered your bills on your fi rst day of trading, you are on a winner. If its Friday afternoon before you scrape across the line, then you need to rethink your business before you throw away your hard earned money and become yet another sad and sorry statistic. As the person responsible for your businesses success it is your responsibility to know your bottom line, then to continually
monitor it and work to improve upon it. You will defi nitely get good input from an accountant but as with everything in business, the buck stops with you. You need to list all possible expected income and err on the low side for safety. You need to list all possible expenses and err on the high side for safety.
It is not uncommon for a small business to show a pretty healthy surplus when you compare sales income with the cost of goods sold, but when you then include wages and running costs, the bottom line is less exciting.
Your accountant will be able to give you a list of the type of costs to allow for and have access to industry standards so you can gauge costs. Know what your overheads will be before you start and then keep them as low as possible. If you put all your expected income and expenses for the fi rst year on a spreadsheet and the ins minus the outs looks very promising then you have made it to fi rst base.
Now you need to consider the timing of those ins and outs. Its
no good when you have bills to pay but the money isnt coming in for another two months! Its only when you look at income, expenses, and timing that you get to second base.
To get to third base you need to look at your personal budget. How little can you live on while you are starting out? Having a new business will be like having a new baby. It demands all your money, energy and time. Plan a cash fl ow type budget that projects your safe lowest bank balances for the next year and allows you to see how much you will need to draw from your business each week in order to keep the home budget safe. You must include your wages in your business budget and dont forget to include personal income tax. If you need to draw $1,000 a week out of your business to cover your living expenses you will need to pay yourself something like $1250 a week and then put the tax money away in a separate account.
Lastly, remember you are going to have to consider GST before
you make your fi nal decision. When you are in business you are going to be an unpaid tax collector. If you leave GST out of your calculations and the numbers look good, be absolutely sure you review them with GST included before you determine your fi nal Bottom Line fi gure. GST is a major factor in your cash fl ow planning as well. You regularly have to pay the 10 per cent GST from sales to the ATO. Its not all bad though; you get the 10 per cent GST you paid on all your purchases back. If you make a loss the ATO will actually pay you - but dont get too excited as the more GST you are paying, the more profi t you are making!
If you do your homework before you start, know your bottom line and monitor it constantly, you have a much better chance of being one of the success stories in business.
David Wright will be speaking on the topic of cashfl ow budgeting at Cooroy Library on Thursday 27 Feb, 7.30pm. Free but bookings required 0408 989 494. www.simplybudgets.com.au

Councillor Rogerson and I were honoured to present several awards to very deserving winners at this terrifi c community celebration. Congratulations must go to Joyce Turnbull and to the Eumundi and District Historical Assoc. Committee for organising such an outstanding event. Chamber of CommerceCouncillor Rogerson and I were pleased to be invited to attend a Eumundi Chamber of Commerce meeting at Berkelouws Caf. Key issues included the progress of a proposed new shopping centre at the old butter factory, the proposed Noosa on Weyba development and the plans to address safety issues on The Terraces at Eumundi Markets. As usual, there were plenty of direct questions and some robust discussion on many issues affecting the business
community. We look forward to working with the community to achieve a range of good outcomes on these matters.

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month and people all over Australia are holding Afternoon Teals to raise awareness and funding for the cause. North Arm local Kirsten Williams decided to create Fields of Teal at Joe's Waterhole last Sunday. Kirsten's mum, Wendy Cooley worked in the bottle shop at Joe's for 20 years, and last year lost her battle with this cancer. On the day, we had great music from bands The Vibe and Missing Link,
there were raffl es every hour, a silent auction, delicious decorated cupcakes for sale, manicures in teal (for both sexes!) face painting and craft for the kids and a surprise... a fl ash mob dance by 21 ladies.
Local artist Bob Gammage cleverly captured the event in his painting, which was magic to watch while he worked. This painting will also be auctioned for the cause.
The day raised $4,397 for Ovarian Cancer Australia, and Kirsten wants to thank everyone involved, especially all the local businesses who generously donated prizes. We couldn't have done it without your help.
Kirsten continues to promote awareness about this low survival rate cancer, she will continue speaking to groups of women throughout February. On Wednesday 26 February, Teal Ribbon Day, you can hear her personal story and learn the facts at Cooroy Library at 10am, or Noosa Library at 1pm. Knowing the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer can save a woman's life.
If you would like to host an Afternoon Teal, or want further information from Kirsten, fi nd Fields of Teal on Facebook.

What youre saying on Facebook
Closing the main street on market days I wonder if it is again time to discuss with the community the idea of closing Main St after the stall holders have set up on Saturdays and Wednesdays? What a lovely atmosphere it would give to the town, no more stress crossing the street, maybe some market gazebos and chairs in the middle of the street for people to eat or drink, or rest their weary feet, some music playing or jugglers? One of the main objections came from the petrol station that it would impede the sale of petrol, now that is not allowed to sell petrol on market days, also now we have adequate opportunity to ease traf c ow around the town as well with the bypass rmly in place.

Your sayInternode the answerI just fi nished reading [in Eumundi Green issue 188] about the ADSL problems that many readers are having. I had the same run-around with Telstra so tried Internode.on.net. It turned out that not only do they have a D Slam in the Eumundi Exchange they may also have extra ports available. I live in town but all that was required was that I had a phone connection from the Eumundi Exchange. I receive ADSL2 at around 15,000 kbps which is very fast, and have now been with them for over three years. If customers wish to go to www.internode.on.net home page they can enter their phone number or address to see if it's available to them. Good luck to them all. Cheers, Brian.
Impressed with EumundiI was recently visiting the Sunshine Coast from Sydney, catching up with friends in Eumundi and Doonan. I have to write to tell you how genuinely impressed I am with The Eumundi Green. I read a few back issues (kept by both houses I visited) and gleaned a real sense of your special community with so many uplifting local stories
and profi les on people, events and businesses. Your magazine gave me a real feel for the creativity in Eumundi and the neighbouring suburbs and the strong sense of community. I wish our papers in the big smoke were as informative and refreshing as the Eumundi Green. Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Barbara Morris
Resident Parking Bays in EumundiHow pleasing it was to read Cr Robinson's comments concerning regulated parking in your last issue. This hot topic has been the point of discussion by every resident at some stage and we now have the opportunity to contribute to a solution.
Its more important than ever to consider the challenges as a town and passionate community with your input. Lets bring it on with your ideas! Heres one to get us started
For many locals and parents of children at ESS, Wednesday and Saturdays become a serious challenge. A doctor or dental appointment, medicine from our pharmacy, a trip to the Post Offi ce or even the bread and milk become a chore too diffi cult to consider.
Most in our community are proud of the vibe and energy the markets create. Few could say it was not a positive factor considered in moving here. Many however have given up on or relinquished their right to patronise local business or services. The best our community car parking operation will offer us is a three month permit to park between 5.30am and 9am. After 9am, its pay your $5 or move on. This does not work for anyone other than early risers visiting the market. It is also a problem logistically for the elderly or disabled.
An online petition with numerous comments by residents indicates the desire for designated parking bays. Those allocated spaces would be restricted by permit for 4562 residents and others meeting Council criteria.
It really is a win win situation. We regain the opportunity to patronise our town on market days and more visitors will patronise the designated parking venues the community provides.
The opportunity to sign this petition and regain your right to these essential services is now. To support this initiative simply type residents only parking Eumundi change into a google search.
It will bring up the link to the petition via Facebook. Kind regards, Paul Curtis.
I would like to thank the beautiful romantics of Eumundi and surrounding areas for once again supporting my business. I love that in our gorgeous small town there are so many generous and kind people xx I wish you all the best Valentines Day ever... Hope you all were spoilt! Nat Westrup, Belli Park

Schools and Community KidsGet kids active Funding boost for State Schools
A new effort to boost literacy and numeracy for children, the State Govt is spending most of its $131 million in federal education funding on students from Prep to Year 2. Under the plan, Queensland's primary schools will share in $99 million while high schools will receive their cut of $30 million. Primary schools on average will receive $200-$400 per student, up to $508 per student for those in Prep to Year 2, while special schools will receive about $2 million. Eumundi State School Principal Mick Connors said the money would be put to very good use.

Member for Noosa, Glen Elmes, is calling on locals to make 2014 the year their children Get Started in sport and recreation. The program - which is part of the 'Get in the Game' initiative - was created to encourage more young people to get into sport or recreation and to ease the fi nancial burden on families. Get Started provides vouchers valued up to $150 to help kids whose families can least afford for them to join a sport or recreation club, Mr Elmes explained.
I want to see families take full advantage of this support and get their kids actively participating in a sport or a recreational activity, he said.
The fi rst two rounds of the Get Started program had seen almost 19,000 vouchers redeemed at sport or recreation clubs. Local sport and recreation clubs should also encourage members and families to take advantage of the program. For more on how to apply for a Get Started voucher, www.nprsr.qld.gov.au

Music, Theatre and BooksIndee Theatre John BurlsTherell be many folk whove never heard radio ads for Buckleys Canadiol Mixture, Bonningtons Irish Moss nor Kinkara Tea, but they were part of everyday life back in the 40s and 50s.
That was also the era of variety shows, quiz shows, comedies and dramas, which went to air live and had families gathered around their radio sets every night to listen to their favourite programs.
Re-creating this time and space has been successfully achieved by The Independent Theatre in the past, in its Lux Radio Theatre series, with Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, The Third Man and now comes All About Eve.
This amazing film was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won six. It also still holds the record for being the only movie to have four female actors all nominated for Oscars. Among the original movie cast was; George Sanders, Anne Baxter, Celeste Holm, Marilyn Monroe and Thelma Ritter. But of course the big star was Bette Davis who later reprised her role in the Lux Radio Theatre presentation and The Indee will use the original radio script for this production.
All About Eve will feature, Carol Hoger, Eddie Ellis, Janine Bryce, Carol Burls, Richard Luscombe, Rita Walker and John Burls. The cast will appear in eveningwear - as of the days of live radio - and sound effects will be done onstage. The auditorium will be set out to capture the essence of the old Macquarie Radio Auditorium where so many Lux episodes started their lives. On each table will be a faux mantle radio with lit dial to simulate the days when families gathered around their radios at home.
Lux Radio Theatre will be performed at 7.30pm, Friday 4 and Saturday 5 April and 2pm Sunday 6 April.
Tickets $20, concessions $18, Sunday $18. 5472 8200
I chose The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan for our Berkelouws book club meeting after seeing it discussed on the ABC TV Tuesday Book club programme. For once, all the panellists were in accord and they rarely agree on anything- that this book was not just very good but, dare they say it, a masterpiece. I had thought that the novel would be primarily about Flanagans fathers war experience as a POW of the Japanese and a slave labourer on the Thai Burma railway construction. However, it is far more wide-ranging and tackles enormous and complex issues: the nature of good and evil; love and the various ways it is manifested; weakness and strength of character; meaning in life. Flanagan himself describes it as a book about love, written in the shadow of my father dying.
A testament to the extraordinary writing skills of Richard Flanagan: The film The Railway Man, in cinemas recently, is also about POWs on the Thai Burma railway. But compared to this novel, that film, a visual medium, achieves a far less intense vision of place and character. Flanagan took the title, The Narrow Road to the Deep North, from a 17th century collection of haiku poetry by one of Japans most famous poets, Matsuo Basho. While the principal character is Dorrigo Evans, a doctor and surgeon, the novel is written through the voices of a very wide range of characters, including Japanese.
This is an extraordinary work and well worth reading (and Berkelouws has some on sale). But, even if you dont read it, do Google the ABC Conversations with Richard Fidler and listen to the fascinating interview with Richard Flanagan speaking about the writing of the book.
Flanagan book review Bronwyn Jones
I feel the sky come tumblin down... So sang Carol King from her seminal Tapestry album. And, while basking in these moments of earthy metaphorical lyricism I am also drawn to the Bards observation that: The Earth has music for those who listen. And it got me thinking about the earthy delights that living in this beautiful part of the world brings. Especially, in matters of music.
A big common denominator for all we good burghers of Eumundi is the very love of music. It seems we just cant get enough of it and a day barely goes by without someone hitting the high notes in a postcode 4562 venue.
Places like Joes Waterhole, the Green Room, Alfrescos Garden Cafe, Bohemian Bungalow, Original Eumundi Markets plus Eumundi Live are all elevating and celebrating music in its many genres. Not to mention Full Moon Dances at Verrierdale Hall and stripped back gigs at House With No Walls down the Noosa Eumundi Road. And, as said Billy Joel "I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
Music makes your soul soar and forms a soundtrack to lifes wonder. We sing when were happy, sing when were sad, when were proud hell, we sing when we just want to get loud! Its amazing what the combination of just 12 little notes and some heartfelt poetry can do.
Where were you when you heard: Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose / Nothing ain't nothing, but it's free or, It's better to burn out / than to fade away. How do you feel when something juicy comes along like: Hey, hey mama said the way you move / gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove Do you join in the chorus when Goyte cries, Now you're just somebody that I used to know?
As Plato said, " music gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything."
Yep, we sure do wrap ourselves around music its the drumbeat to our lives, the soundtrack to our culture. And the hills around Eumundi are alive with the sound of music.
One little footnote musicians love to play, but they also like to eat. So when it comes to enjoying live music, please dont treat it just like air you know, you dont really notice its missing until you havent got any. Musos deserve a fair reward for that spark of creativity, the burning stagecraft and that moment of rapture where we all share in an unseen communion of celebration, as that beat goes on. Lets not short-change them.
Because as proclaimed Lennon and McCartney in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.
I feel the earth move under my feet Anthony Wynne-Hoelscher

There is something precious about appreciating generations.
The ebb and fl ow of the change of life. Learning to have respect for a life lived, full of experience, that in turn, brings knowledge; but also to look at the youth and their excitement about life and its possibilities. Looking at each new day as an opportunity for growth and change. The balance of life; to bring these two, sometimes opposing forces together; to appreciate, respect and nurture the differences and what those differences can add to our lives, no matter what age we are. I am blessed to have a grandma who is alive and in her nineties. She is very traditional but she tries to adjust and accept lifes ever changing nature and different cultures around her.
She is a writer, she is a gardener, she is a cook, she is an explorer...I aim to emulate her.
left it out of this recipe to keep it wholesome and simple)Bake until pastry is lightly browned and crisp. Remove from oven, dust with icing sugar (or leave plain).Serve with bush honey yoghurt and fresh berry compote.
Come into the garden child and let me show you what I seeTheres a time when we must grow strong, but gentle like a tree
The seeds we plant we nourish, with food ,water and airTending to them every day, with gentle loving care
We must learn the time to plant, to give each seed a chanceTo grow and grow and ourish, in its little lifes dance
And over the months we will see, the changes that occur,As each little seedling has its time, to feel the sun and stir.
And slowly little buds will form, followed closely by the owersAnd then the fruit for you and me, to eat for hours and hours.
Come into the garden child, lets learn lifes lessons togetherI will always be here for you, no matter what the weather.

We fi nd it so easy to talk about keeping physically healthy, physical illnesses and keeping fi t. The stigma associated with mental health and mental illness makes it very diffi cult for us as a community to talk about.
Over the next couple of months we will look at the real facts about Mental Health; explore some of the common mental illnesses that people experience and where to go for help and treatment.
Facts and guresAround 20 per cent of adults are affected by some form of mental disorder every year. Anxiety disorders affect around 14 per cent of the adult population every year. Depression affects around six per cent of the adult population.
Most people with a mental illness do not have family members with the illness. The causes are not fully understood. It is likely that such mental
disorders involve a biochemical imbalance and can be triggered by such things as stressful life events, drug abuse, hormonal changes or physical illness.
What are the chances of recovering from mental illness?Most people with mental illness recover well and are able to lead fulfi lling lives in the community when they receive appropriate ongoing treatment and support.
However, only about half of those affected actually receive treatment. The majority of people who develop anxiety disorders and depression improve over time with appropriate treatment and support.
What are the gures?Nearly half (45 per cent) of the population will experience a mental disorder at some stage in their lives. Almost one in fi ve Australians (20 per cent) will
experience a mental illness in a 12-month period.
During a one-year period, anxiety disorders will affect 14 per cent of the population and depression will affect six per cent.
Depression is one of the most common conditions in young people and increases during adolescence.
At least one third of young people have had an episode of mental illness by the time they are 25 years old.
People living with a mental illness are more likely to be victims of violence, especially self-harm. Mental illnesses are not purely psychological and can have many physical features. Anyone can develop a mental illness and no one is immune to mental health problems. Women were more likely than men to use services for mental health problems. Approximately two-thirds of people with a mental illness do not receive treatment
in a 12-month period. It is estimated that up to 85 per cent of homeless people have a mental illness.

Reducing infl ammationIt is common to hear people complaining of infl ammation and at certain times of the year it can be worse for some. Extremes of temperature, high humidity, rainy days or even really cold days can make it worse for some. But what is infl ammation?
Acute infl ammation is your bodys natural immune response to tissue damage. When you cut yourself, the cut swells, goes red and becomes infl amed. This is a sign that your immune system is trying to repair the tissue so this infl ammation is a good thing. Chronic infl ammation is your bodys confused immune response to environmental, physical, and mental invaders, which come in the form of things like poor diet, toxicity and stress. Basically your body is attacking itself. Chronic infl ammation is not good for our health but there are things we can do to help reduce it:
Eat natural healthy foods including plenty of fruit and vegetables, fi sh and grass- fed meats and cut out junk foods and drinks
Improve gut health by taking probiotics or eating probiotic foods such as sauerkraut and good quality yoghurts
Relaxation and rest and keep stress levels down Exercise and movement Reduce toxins in the home which can come in the form of
chemicals like cleaning products, body products, mould, etc Consume fi sh oil, wild- caught oily fi sh, turmeric (which you can
now get in capsules), berries, olives and olive oil, (raw not cooked) kiwis, pineapples and green papaya.

Monstera deliciosa, monsterio, monsterio delicio, fruit salad plant or mexican breadfruit, are a few of the many names this big, glossy-leafed tropical plant has been given. Regardless of what it is called, it is a much-loved companion on our property. Native to Central America, it grows easily in our hinterland climate and we have dedicated
large areas of our property to its cultivation. Although here on the ridge we have this plant sprawling along the ground in large garden beds, it is actually a climbing epiphyte and in a rainforest habitat will grow up to 20 metres high. Adapting to life high in the canopy, the monsterio is the only plant to possess naturally occurring holes in its leaves. This
adaptation allows light and breeze to fi lter through, an important feature when you are an epiphyte and rely on the air and sun for your nutrients. It is for this feature that the plant is sometimes referred to as windowleaf. It is also one of the many qualities that have made the shiny deep green foliage a fi rm favourite for indoor decoration and as a symbol of all things tropical. Its not all decorating with lush leaves here on the ridge, though. The fruit it bares is a divine addition to our cornucopia. It has a mix of fl avours (hence one of its common names the fruit salad fruit). When you concentrate you can taste pineapple, jackfruit, a little kiwi perhaps, but its essentially pretty hard to discriminate one fl avour from another. I think the best I have come up with is that it actually tastes a lot like Juicy Fruit chewing gum.
The other additional benefi t (if you happen to be looking for it) is that when consumed in slightly more than moderate quantities it has very fast acting laxative properties. Perhaps it is for this reason that it ripens slowly (from the top down). As the outer scales of the fruit naturally fall off, a small amount of fl esh, shaped like individual hexagonal pellets, can be easily pried off and consumed.
Given the size of our property and number of plants we have here, we routinely have a glut of monsterios. Unlike the eat-as-much-as-you-can-or-theyll-go-bad feasts of other fruits we have from time to time, we are much more restrained with this species. If we have more than we can share around we remove and freeze the pellets for bite-sized treats or tasty de-toxes throughout the year.

Around 50 people braved the heat to enjoy great food and good company at Belbunyas organic Swap-Meet Cafe and healing day in Belli Park recently. There was acoustic music from Jude Lane, fresh produce that people brought in to sell for a little pocket money, or swap with other growers.
Permaculture seed savers brought along heirloom seeds to share, and neighbouring Hinterland Fejoa farm brought a selection
of organic jams and chutneys. This community initiative to support local food networks will be repeated on the fourth Thursday of every month, 9am-12:30noon. Everyone is welcome, whether your interest is buying and supporting local produce, meeting other locals, having a delicious raw or gluten free cake or giving or receiving healings. www.bellbunya.org.au/events-calendar

Cuckoo Wasps Kon Hepers
A Nature Notes reader recently sent in a photo of a brilliantly coloured insect. It was clearly a bee or a wasp (order hymenoptera, meaning membrane-wing) and by the colour identifi ed as a Cuckoo Wasp. There are over 70 species of Cuckoo Wasp, most of them not so beautifully coloured but in the end it came down to one of two species, most
probably Stilbum cyanurum. To be really certain we would need to know the size of Hamishs fi nd plus a microscope and a live specimen. The S. cyanurum grow to about 12mm.
Whatever species, Cuckoo Wasps are so named because they behave like the bird cuckoos do: they parasitise the nests of other
wasps. Their main hosts are those annoying Mud-dauber Wasps which make mud nests, usually on the walls of buildings. There are dozens of them at our place and are very diffi cult to remove.
The clever Cuckoo Wasps have two different ways of operating, depending on species. The fi rst way is to act like a thief (cleptoparasite). They lay their eggs into a Mud-daubers clay nest, along-side that wasps own eggs and their food supply, usually paralysed spiders and caterpillars. The Cuckoo Wasps egg hatches fi rst allowing the larva to eat the available food. As a result the Mud-daubers larvae starve to death after hatching.
The second method is more direct: the Cuckoo Wasps eggs also hatch fi rst but then the larvae wait until the host wasps eggs have also hatched and eaten their food store. They are then killed and eaten by the Cuckoo Wasps larvae which morph into adult wasps. (An organism that kills and eats its host is called parasitoid.) As adults the cuckoo Wasps will feed exclusively on nectar.
There is uncertainty whether Cuckoo Wasps actually sting. If they do it isnt painful and only a mild venom is injected. The long spike protruding from the abdomen of the wasp in Hamishs photo is not a stinger it is the wasps ovipositor which she uses for laying and placing her eggs. They have been observed wetting down mud nests to soften them, making it easier to deposit the eggs.
Of course other wasps attack Cuckoo Wasps to kill or drive them away from their nests. The Cuckoo Wasps have two means of defence: fi rstly, their outer skeleton is hard and acts like armour. Secondly, their abdomen, in three segments, is hollow underneath allowing them to roll up into a defensive position.
The brilliant iridescent green, blue and violet colouring gives this wasp a number of common names including Emerald Wasp and Jewel Wasp we think it is one of the most striking of our insects.
Thank you Hamish for contributing your fi nd.

It would appear that another wet season will be late in arriving. Lets hope that it doesnt arrive with the same volume and devastating effect as the last two years. Our gardens are set and looking good, having survived the long dry season and could now be facing arguably their greatest seasonal challenge again; the impending wet season. So how can we plan for this? How can we avoid losing plants that thrive in the dry and drown in the wet? Well, of course we cant alter the nature of the beast, but we can perhaps stiffen its resolve.
Grafting grevilleas is hardly a new concept. They have been grafted for many years in order to bring plants from other niches which struggle to grow in eastern Australian soil with their own root system. It provides those with heavier soils the chance to successfully grow this genus of plant. A fi ne example of such proven resilience in the face of immense adversity is Grevillea Silky Oak. The robust root system of Silky Oak makes the plants far more tolerant of the vagaries of the Australian weather (prolonged wet and prolonged dry periods) which have been prevalent for the past few years.
The native Grevillea is generally grown successfully all over Australia, but Grevillea Silky Oak also has the advantage of being a fantastically adaptable member of the Grevillea family. Its natural home is found within the rainforest of the sub-tropics and often around water. Its adaption to the cooler conditions of Australias southern states has extended its list of qualities. Unusually for a tree that started in the wet climate of the rainforest tree, it has considerable drought tolerance properties and a surprising tolerance to cold.
So why is grafting the answer when blending the proven properties of two plants as in this case? Grafting is an excellent option because it allows the plants to establish comfortably on a rootstock that is compatible with the local climate and soil.
There is a wide variety of colours and foliage forms in the Grevillea genus. These Australian natives can be combined to produce a beautiful array of colour and result in stunning gardens and landscape projects. Among its many advantages is that several groups of Grevilleas form excellent ground covers and hence make superb weed suppressants. As they dont require frequent feeding, they defi nitely belong among the low maintenance group of gems we can rely on.
The impact these natives have is not only visual but practical too. Grevillea fl owers attract many species of birds to the garden. They are an excellent producer of nectar for bees and food for possums.
The idea that some plants provide a benefi cial effect on others growing nearby is an ancient one. Although in ancient times the practice was entangled with astrology, evidence shows that companion planting can provide various benefi ts. Companions can repel or attract, fertilise or add minerals and most are staples commonly found in kitchen gardens.
Alliums (onions, garlic) - repel slugs, aphids and other pests and are useful when planted with fruit trees, as well as tomatoes, potatoes and capsicums
Beans - fi x nitrogen and provide good fertiliser for beets, corn and brassicas
Beets - add minerals to the soil that are ideal for lettuce, brassicas and onions
Borage, basil - attract bees and repel other pests, helpful for almost any plant but great for strawberries and cucurbits
Marigolds - produce pesticides that repel nematodes and beetles and are useful for most plants, but especially
for tomatoes, squash and asparagus
Geraniums, sage - trap pests by attracting them away from other plantings, like tomatoes, grapes and eggplants

Eumundi is fortunate to have such a wide main street in Memorial Dr, but it wasnt just luck. In the early 1900s when the town was developing most of the shops were on the western side of the street and the other side had railway related buildings and the railway line which originally went through Caplick Park as we know it today.
Timber getting the cutting down of the large very old trees prolifi c in the area - was an important industry and there were many bullock teams which
hauled the logs into town to be transported to saw mills in the area and further afi eld by train.
It is hard to imagine the state the roads were in years ago. In wet weather they were almost impassable. Hauling timber by bullock team from Doonan to Eumundi, a matter of fi ve miles, would take almost a full day when the roads were bad.
These bullock teams with up to 16 bullocks pulling the load plus the length of the timber needed a wide area to manoeuvre and
turn in. Main St as Memorial Dr was then known as, became part of the Bruce Highway so it was just as well it was wide!
Bullock teams were mostly used in the Eumundi district in preference to horses, although there were a few horse teams. The advantage of bullocks was that they were slower and steadier in thick scrub and hilly country.
Bullocks can work continuously with just the feed they can obtain from grass whereas horses had
to be hand-fed with grain and chaff to be able to work hard thus adding considerably to the cost.
Main St was renamed Memorial Drive in 1977 (due to a community based suggestion) to honour the 20 Eumundi men who enlisted in Eumundi and did not return from WW1 and the 20 trees that were planted along and near Memorial Drive in their memory.
The bullock teams are long gone but the lovely wide, tree lined street remains, adding its great character and charm.
