Karla the Koala is lending her voice to an important community project led by the Eumundi Rotary Club in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The club is supporting health and education initiatives in Kemabolo, including the establishment of a medical aid post and ongoing assistance for the village’s primary and secondary schools.
As part of the initiative, author Elizabeth “Fizzi” Reynolds has generously donated 25 copies of Karla’s latest adventure, Karla: Adventures in Papua New Guinea, Paws, Wings, Fins Across the Sea, to be donated to students at the local school. The donation aims to encourage reading while sharing a story that celebrates kindness, courage and our Australian wildlife.
In the spirit of connection and sharing kindness across the sea, the book was written at the request of a PNG consortium, with the close interest of Prime Minister Marape, to highlight and encourage the friendship and cooperation between endangered species in both countries and to promote aspects of life in PNG for the better understanding of children in both countries.
“Their brief to us began with PM Hon. James Marape welcoming Team Karla to a Mad Hatters Tea Party to meet her endangered PNG friends. Karla is delighted to support this wonderful Kemabolo Eumundi Rotary Project," said Fizzi.

More than 6,500 people turned out for the annual Noosa EV & Electrify Everything Expo at Noosa Junction on 21 June, highlighting the Sunshine Coast community’s growing appetite for practical advice on cutting energy and transport costs while reducing carbon emissions.
Hosted by local not-for-profit Zero Emissions Noosa (ZEN), the free event is now Qld’s largest community expo dedicated to transport, home and business electrification. Now in its 8th year, the Expo brought together 65 exhibitors, 50 volunteers, sponsors and community partners showcasing electric vehicles, e-bikes, home batteries, solar systems, EV chargers and energy management solutions.
The event also showed that electrification extends well beyond the garage. Local restaurateurs Luc and Pascal Turschwell drew crowds with live induction cooking demonstrations, proving the technology can be fast, healthy and capable of delivering gourmet flavour without relying on gas.
Visitor feedback suggests the expo is helping people make confident, informed choices, with 3 in 4 attendees saying the event assisted them with an EV or e-mobility purchasing decision, while 85% said they intended to purchase within the next 12 months.

Reg Haworth (1927-2013) was the eldest son of Elijah Haworth, the first manager of the Eumundi Butter factory. He tells his father’s story in this extract from Reg’s memoir – Such A Clear Moonlight Night.
My father, Elijah Haworth (1890-1957), was the first manager of the Eumundi Butter Factory. Dad grew up on the family dairy farm and worked at the Caboolture Co-operative Dairy before he enlisted in WWI. On his return from active service, he supervised the construction of the Eumundi Butter Factory and took over its management when it opened in November 1920 and ran it for 25 years.
Dad was short (only 5’6” tall) and stocky. He walked with a limp because he had lost some toes in the war, but he was surprisingly fast, especially if he was angry with you! He was a keen fisherman, smoked his own hams, and played in the Eumundi cricket team. He came from Salvation Army stock, and I remember him playing his cornet from our veranhttps://issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_145/19 da in Cook St, as the sun went down.
