An idea sparked within the Noosa Botanic Gardens - Friends has blossomed into a brand-new orchid – one created to be uniquely Noosa’s.
The 120-strong Friends group has worked closely with the Noosa District Orchid & Foliage Society since the early days of the gardens’ Shade Garden. In 2015, Eumundi resident Mike Brownlee and the Society’s then-President John Green, began shaping a flower that could become a living symbol of the region’s beauty.
“I dreamed up this orchid idea,” said Mike. “We kept looking at the gardens and saying, ‘What do we want up here?’ Locals saw the gardens as sub-tropical and thought they should have orchids – but they didn’t. So the idea was, let’s invent one – and that’s what started it.”
From the outset, Mike said the project would take a decade. “We’ve got to do it properly. I knew we had talented people around: growers, specialists, who could get the orchid we want.”
The team settled on a colour palette that reflected the Sunshine Coast – sunshine yellow, contrasted with red. The final question was whether anything like it already existed.

We often hear the term “core strength” thrown around like a fitness buzzword. “Pelvic floor health” on the other hand, is often treated as something that only matters in pregnancy, after giving birth or later in life. However, the truth is these systems are quietly at work in every woman’s body, every day – yet many of us have never been shown how to understand them, feel them, or care for them.
Modern life doesn’t make this easy. Hours spent sitting, leaning forward over screens, or rushing from one task to the next, can overload the core and pelvic floor in ways we barely notice. The body adapts, but these adaptations lead to a creep towards poor movement and structure. They start to show up as tension in the back, hips, shoulder, pelvic discomfort, or simply a sense that movement feels a little off.
The pelvic floor is often misunderstood. It’s not just a muscle to squeeze, or a post-birth recovery focus – it’s a support system for the organs, a regulator of internal pressure, and a partner in every breath, lift and step. The core isn’t simply about sculpted abs. It’s a network of muscles connecting the spine, ribs and pelvis, silently keeping us stable, balanced and resilient. When these systems are dysfunctional, the effects ripple through the whole body. To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_140/27 ... See MoreSee Less

Choking can happen quickly, quietly, and often when we least expect it. In conversations around our community it is surprising how many people have a story about a child, parent or friend who has choked – yet many aren’t confident in what to do.
Some people are more at risk than others. Young children, particularly under 5, are particularly vulnerable due to their small airways and developing chewing skills. Everyday items such as coins, small toys and certain foods can easily become hazards. Foods such as whole grapes, sausages, nuts, popcorn and hard lollies are common culprits.
Older members of our community and people living with disabilities are also at higher risk due to swallowing difficulties known as dysphagia. This can be linked to conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or dementia, and often requires careful attention to food textures and mealtime support.
Prevention starts with awareness
