Eumundi really does give a sheet!
Papua New Guinea faces one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the Pacific region. In remote villages such as Kemabolo – hours away from Port Moresby – the loss is devastatingly high. It sounds incredibly simple, but having access to clean, sterile materials during childbirth is a literal lifesaver.
That is where your linen cupboards came to the rescue. A massive thank you to everyone who went dumpster-diving in their own linen press, hunted through local op shops, or bought brand-new sheets to drop into the collection box at Sala Thai You might have thought you were just donating old cotton – but look at what those sheets are doing now.
Since you last saw them, they have been transformed into:
👶 50 full-sized sheets for delivery beds
👶 20 small sheets to wrap newborns
👶 Bundles of rolled bandages
👶 A multitude of clean medical cloths.
Thanks to your generosity, Eumundi Rotary now has enough linen to assemble 50 life-saving birthing kits. We are officially halfway to our 2026 target!
Your humble bedsheets are being packed into Birthing Kits, alongside plastic sheeting, gauze, string, a scalpel, soap, a fresh cloth, a tiny singlet, and a miniature beanie. The extra bandages, baby wrap sheets, and cloths are heading to local aid posts, alongside snakebite kits and water-saving hand-washing taps.
Birthing kits are being sent to Kemabolo’s First Aid Station for distribution by a local nurse. We are not done yet! We need to hit our final target, and we need your help for the next shipment. If you want to get involved, we are looking for:
▪️ More clean, old sheets (time to raid the cupboard again)
▪️ Tiny knitted or crocheted beanies for newborn babies
▪️ Donations of wool or your expert crafting time
▪️ Financial contributions to help us buy the more expensive medical components (such as scalpels and gauze).
Whether you want to help us pack the kits, donate materials, or fund a kit, we want to hear from you.
Please call Janet from Eumundi Rotary Club on 0402 062 465 to find out how you can help. Let’s keep giving a sheet! ... See MoreSee Less

Dog owners on the Sunshine Coast will need to check before heading out from 3 July, when new local laws change where dogs can be exercised across beaches, rocky foreshores, sports grounds and selected environment reserves.
The changes follow council’s adoption of the Dog Exercise Area Regional Plan and Network Blueprint 2025-45 after community consultation. Pet owners are being urged to follow leash requirements, stay within designated areas and clean up after their dogs, with fines applying for breaches. An off-leash dog in a designated on-leash area attracts a fine of $863, while entering a prohibited area or failing to carry a waste bag can result in a $345 fine.
Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) says the changes are designed to improve safety, protect wildlife and sensitive habitats, and better manage shared public spaces as the region’s dog population grows.
Council Manager of Regulatory Response Services Shanagh Jacobs said residents should “know before they go” by checking local signage, council’s website and the live mapping tool before visiting their usual dog-walking spots.
Among the key changes are adjusted off-leash areas at locations including Stumers Beach, Shelly Beach, Currimundi Lake, Ballinger Beach, Alexandra Headland Beach, Kings Beach and Coolum Beach. Seasonal restrictions will also apply at Maroochy North Shore between October and April to protect migratory shorebirds, with an alternative off-leash area available at Mudjimba South.
Dogs will no longer be allowed on rocky foreshores such as Point Perry, Point Arkwright, Point Cartwright, Moffat Headland and Caloundra Headland, or on active sports playing surfaces. In many environment reserves dogs can still be walked on-leash, but selected high-value conservation areas will be off limits.
The plan also includes new and expanded off-leash spaces, including Pelican Waters, Yandina Tea Tree Park and Banya Avenue Linear Park, with 22 new off-leash parks and upgrades proposed over time as funding allows.
Council says the Sunshine Coast will still offer 34km of dog-friendly coastline, including 16.4kms off-leash and 17.9kms on-leash, as well as more than 1,600 km of on-leash pathways.
