Special congratulations to Supreme Award winner Kym Cunningham for her design AI: the new god … or a monster in disguise? Built from recycled cardboard, e-waste, industrial plastics and heat-treated CDs, Kym took the debris of the digital age and asked, “What have we actually built?”
This year’s festival scaled up to a bigger venue at the Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort, a far cry from its humble beginnings under the stars at Eumundi Square in 2019. Visit: australianwearableart.com.au. ... See MoreSee Less

The waste product from the factory was piped out to the abattoir along Eumundi Noosa Rd – previously called Doonan Rd – for the pigs. There was an awful smell when the pipe burst.
Ward St in Eumundi was also named after Allan Ward, a previous manager of the butter factory.
I would love to see these old sites remembered. Perhaps interpretative signage explaining the factory's past could be erected. ... See MoreSee Less
