It’s 10 years since Eumundi School of Music (ESOM) began – a not-for-profit program that has now gifted mentoring and tuition scholarships to over 300 young rockers from across the Sunshine Coast!
ESOM was founded by 5-time ARIA Award winning songstress Katie Noonan and a team of passionate Sunny Coast professional musicians. The ethos behind starting the school was to ignite a passion and love of music performance in students who were already playing music.
Many school alumni are now professional working musicians and studying at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University and University of the Sunshine Coast .
ESOM Music Director – and trumpet supremo – Jimmy Halliday says this year’s competitive audition process took place over several days at the Imperial Hotel Eumundi and drew in young musicians from all corners of the coast.
“There’s some serious talent in the students selected this year across all areas of vocals, keys, guitar, base and drums,” said Jimmy.
Following the audition process, the teaching team formed bands from the successful students, marrying the skillsets and musical aspirations of the young musicians.
“We then held a wonderful gathering in Caplick Park Eumundi, where the students all came together, met their new bandmates and brainstormed band names,” he said.
Watch out for Compass, Red Bin Chicken, Real Creations and Solidified!

Nestled in the Amamoor State Forest, near the Gympie Muster site, is Cedar Grove Camping Area, a lesser-known camping area managed by Qld Parks.
It’s popular on weekends and holidays, with plenty of room on grassy areas surrounded by mature red cedar, bunya pines, iron bark and gum trees. There’s even a small swimming hole. The site is equipped with flushing toilets. It’s suitable for tents, camper trailers and caravans. The area is popular with motorbikes and enduro clubs. Access is via numbered creek crossings which may have flowing water during and after rain, and the unsealed section can be bumpy.
Two trails are signposted. The shorter one is Rainforest Circuit which has 2 creek crossings, a step through a huge log and little elevation. The longer Hiking Track 4.6km starts with a long, steady ascent with a beautiful view as your reward, then a long descent through a variety of bush and grass types.
There’s magic in sharing a campfire at night – trying not to burn the marshmallows while gazing too long at the stars. Fire rings are provided, so use them rather than ruining the grass. The nearest town is Amamoor with a General Store for when you forget to bring the matches. Bring your own wood: you can buy firewood bags at 2 or 3 roadside honour boxes as you get closer to the campsite.
Pre-booking is required online, as there are no cash payments onsite. Display your permit and booking number on your camping tent or van. If you plan on bringing your dog, camp instead at the nearby Amamoor Creek camping area.
Enjoy a screen-free time as there’s no mobile coverage. Bookings: t.ly/2oKBD. ... See MoreSee Less

Tall Trees Art Inc will take a strategic pause from staging the large-scale Tall Trees Art Exhibition until 2027, allowing the organisation to focus on planning, development, and creating new opportunities for members and the wider community. In the meantime, a range of smaller-scale initiatives will be delivered throughout 2026 to strengthen the organisation and broaden artistic engagement.
A highlight of the year will be Tall Trees Art Inc’s participation in the Gympie Region Studio Trails on 25&26 July from 10am-4pm. A number of artist members will create an event at the Traveston Hall, which is located 3km north of Cooran.
Visitors will be able to watch artists at work in studio-style settings, both inside and outside the hall. Original artworks will be available for purchase, and artists will also present demonstrations and short workshops.
Finn from The Cart in Cooran will bring his portable coffee cart to the hall on Saturday morning. The Cooran Community Garden will offer morning tea each day, along with a produce stall, while the Traveston Hall Committee will host a sausage sizzle.
The hall tennis court has been booked for a free hit of tennis, and live music will be featured on both days. Come along and meet some talented artists, enjoy a variety of creative artwork, and perhaps find a piece to take home. Bring a picnic blanket, family and friends, a tennis racquet, and stay for a while. Visit: talltrees.com. ... See MoreSee Less
