During WWII 10,000 Australians were stationed on the North Coast of Brisbane â now known as the Sunshine Coast â to defend against an anticipated Japanese invasion. Despite the fact there was no âactionâ here these troops were highly active, training and preparing for combat to defend the beaches south of the Great Barrier Reef. Tragically, 27 Australians lost their lives during these operations, and most are buried at Woombye Cemetery.
Local residents Ron and Betty Sutton have spent years researching the regionâs wartime history, connecting their childhood memories to the broader national and global story. Ron recently shared his findings at the Cooroy RSL, highlighting how deeply the civilian population supported the armed forces.

đˇď¸ đ¸ď¸ đˇď¸ Building on our exploration of spiders from Eumundi Voice Issue 128, this edition we delve into the remarkable world of insect-mimicking and pop-culture-inspired spiders found in our environment.
Jumping spiders: cute and clever
With big eyes and expressive faces, jumping spiders are often referred to as the cute arachnids. However, these large eyes are not only for show. Jumping spiders have some of the sharpest vision in the animal kingdom. They can see in high resolution, essential for their active, visual hunting style. However, being active comes with a cost: it is easier to be spotted when wandering around compared to those with a less active lifestyle. So these jumpers have come up with costumes to help them both defensively and offensively.
The caterpillar jumping spiderâs scientific name â Uroballus carlei â is in honour of Eric Carle, the author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. This spider takes the appearance of a hairy caterpillar, which has hairs that are irritating to the touch, preventing it from being hunted and allowing it to blend in with its surroundings. This spider is endemic to Hong Kong and found nowhere else in the world.
The sheepy jumping spider (Oviballus vidae) resembles a fluffy, woollen sheep or mealy bug, with wool covering its rotund body. The layer of fluffy wax on its body conceals the insect within.
