Former Sunshine Coast journalist and best-selling author, Mary-Lou Stephens spends months slow travelling, staying in exotic places to research and write her novels. I recently caught up with Mary-Lou on her whirlwind book-signing tour of 26 venues, among them the Maleny Writers’ Festival on 3 May and Noosa Library on 5 May.
Within days of publication, her latest novel – The Hobart Hotel – reached #4 in Fiction by Australian Authors and #10 on the International Fiction Bestseller List.
The novel unfolds across 2 compelling storylines and characters. The first Sabine, in 1939 on the brink of WWII is determined to hide her past by manipulating, lying and cheating. In Tasmania disguised in her new alluring persona, she mingles with society’s cream before becoming trapped and transported to Uruguay.
In Uruguay, Sabine discovers the lavish luxury of partying with famous stars, glamorous gowns and jewellery, involving Nazi plans for South America. Here, she finds herself no longer the manipulator, but the manipulated.
The second character, Jenny lives in Hobart in 1973 and longs for the thrills and glamour of the new Wrest Point Casino, especially the Ladybirds in their elegant, revealing gowns, perfect make-up and hairdos.

Former Matildas captain and striker Carol Vinson has joined the Eumundi Magpies FC as an assistant coach and mentor for several girls’ and boys’ outdoor soccer teams. The opportunity came about through her connection with a program at Eumundi State School , where she worked with small groups of Yr 5 and 6 students.
After representing her country internationally – where she earned 13 caps – Carol retired from active competition. Now she takes great pleasure in promoting sports to all genders and generations. She is thrilled with the success of women’s sport, remembering how she had to support herself with full-time employment to fund training and touring at an elite level. When talking to Eumundi Voice, Carol said, “she loved playing and training” and was “grateful for the honour of representing Australia”. She also reflected on the life skills she learned through sport, believing her team sport training – across multiple sports and athletics – helped her create employment for herself while competing at the highest level possible. Beyond fitness and skill development, she recognises the lasting value of the transferable skills learned in a team environment.

The dramatic red colour of the rosella fruit was the drawcard to the annual Big Rosella Field Day at Petersen's Farm at Reilly Rd, Woolooga held on the first weekend in May.
The popular event is hosted by CC and Greg Petersen – the farmer and the cook – assisted by volunteers in bright lime green shirts with the rosella logo. Rosellas have been ‘naturalised’ in Australia, and it’s thought they were introduced by Indonesian fishermen thousands of years ago.
The farm tour, led by Greg helped the attentive audience understand how rosella bushes grow, that the yellow flower only lasts one day, and how the red fruit is carefully hand-picked during the 6-month season. Greg explained how his Nana made rosella jam, and that he had a small veggie patch from when he was 4yo, and “wanted to be a farmer when he grew up.” To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_141/27 ...
