On 11 November, Australians gathered to remember those who served in the many wars and peacekeeping operations around the globe, many of whom gave their lives. Eumundi was no exception as a small group gathered to pay their respects and remember.
The service was facilitated by Donata Page from the Eumundi and District Historical Assn, who welcomed everyone and acknowledged the traditional owners. The ESS choir sang, followed by a short address by GPCAPT (Ret) Greg Ison. The Ode of Remembrance was read, the Last Post was played and a minute’s silence was observed.

International Volunteer Day is marked each year on 5 December to raise awareness of the important role volunteers play in responding to challenges facing the world. This year’s theme, as determined by the United Nations is What’s our Future Normal?
There are millions of volunteers in Australia and the contributions they make to communities around the country are enormous. A survey conducted by Volunteering Australia in 2022 found that women volunteered at a higher rate than men, Australians over 55 were more likely to volunteer than younger Australians, and those living in regional Australia were more likely to volunteer than those in capital cities. The vast majority of volunteers were satisfied or very satisfied with their volunteering experience.
Sport and recreation organisations have volunteers as one-quarter of their workforce; community services, welfare, homeless organisations and faith-based organisations each have one-fifth. Volunteers usually perform tasks such as fundraising, running events, teaching, providing information, accounting, finance and management.

The Volunteering Australia report also found that 83% of volunteer organisations need more volunteers. ... See MoreSee Less

A camphor laurel tree in the kids’ play area at Matso's Sunshine Coast may have met its end, but sculptor Shane Christensen has given it a whole new lease of life. The stump has been transformed with the skill of a chainsaw into a stunning piece of art, showcasing native wildlife.
The sculpture symbolises that our actions send ripples into the food chain. As Shane explained: “All these birds featured are susceptible to rat and mice baits, as they eat rodents that have been poisoned.” ... See MoreSee Less
