New assembly point for Anzac Day March in Eumundi
Marchers and community members are advised of a small change to this year’s Anzac Day march arrangements in Eumundi. Although there are no markets in town on Saturday 25 April, updated permit guidelines mean participants are no longer able to assemble on a roadway.
This year’s assembly point will be on the Second Terrace behind the Eumundi QCWA Hall on Memorial Dr at 7.30am. The area will be clearly signposted. From there the group will walk together behind the Noosa & District Pipe Band to the amphitheatre.
Plenty of free parking will be available in the top car park. If you’re unsure where to go on the day, follow the signs or ask a friendly face. ... See MoreSee Less

Rotary has been working to eradicate #polio for some 45 years, and one of the clubs that helped launch this global effort was the Rotary Club of Nambour . Today the world is now almost free of polio. #Afghanistan and #Pakistan continue to report cases, while the rest of the world is virtually polio-free.
The success of the Rotary fight against polio has paved the way for a new humanitarian project – Rotarians Against Malaria (RAM). The goal of RAM is the global eradication of malaria. Malaria has killed and debilitated humans since history began. While there have been significant reductions in the incidence of both disease and death over the last 50 years, malaria remains a disease that causes over 400,000 fatalities every year – many of them among small children – and imposes a heavy burden on the health and wellbeing of over 200M people worldwide.
Malaria takes its heaviest toll on poorer communities, particularly in Africa and other tropical regions. Closer to home, Australia’s neighbours are making progress. Malaria has almost been eliminated in Timor-Leste, and Vanuatu is aiming for elimination in the next few years. The disease remains a significant problem in PNG, Eastern Indonesia and the Solomon Islands.
The Rotarians Against Malaria - Australia (ARAM) program supports projects designed to control and ultimately eliminate malaria in our region. ARAM works closely with government health programs in partner countries and follows the recommended World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on the best-practice strategies for malaria control and elimination. Most projects focus on vector control – reducing mosquito populations and limiting opportunities for mosquitoes to bite humans and transmit the malaria parasite.
The main ARAM expenditures include the provision and distribution of insecticide-treated nets, targeted spraying and environmental improvements. One example is the Healthy Villages Project which assists villagers to clear surrounding bushland, improve water management, and provide education and advice on malaria prevention and eradication. ...
