Eumundi Voice is a free fortnightly 32-36 page colour magazine with 5,000 copies published and delivered to letterboxes and community distribution points across Eumundi and surrounds.

After production costs, 100% of funds raised from advertising in Eumundi Voice are given back as donations to individuals and not-for-profit groups within our community to support worthwhile projects and activities.

The magazine acts as “the voice of Eumundi and surrounds” and is a true community publication offering local news, what’s on, recent events, new in town, Councillors and Police reports, Eumundi Rotary Club updates, environment, youth, sport, heritage, travel and the list goes on.

There is something for every reader and we thank our contributors and advertisers for their continuing support.

A dedicated team of volunteers deliver the magazine every second Thursday in Eumundi, Kenilworth, Belli Park, Eerwah Vale, North Arm, Cooroy, Yandina, Verrierdale, Doonan, Pomona, Kin Kin and Noosa.

I was a member of the Eumundi and District Historical Assn (EHA) board when the idea of a Body Art Carnivale was proposed – it was to be the first in Australia. Of course we had some reservations but on the whole I recall we thought it was something that could be quite special and a fantastic fit for Eumundi and its markets.
Really, where else? We took it onboard and I was co-opted in the managing team.
My memories? It’s hard not to recall the ‘100-year storm’ that was approaching us a couple of days before the event. As roads flooded around us and locals became cut-off, I remember then Market Manager Peter Homan and I sitting in the office as the rain kept coming asking ourselves, “Do we, don’t we?” up to the wire. Of course, we did!
Other memories are the marvellous response of artists, mostly amateur, who took up the challenge. In many ways we didn’t know what we were doing and just supported one another task by task, setting up the artists’ workspaces, creating photography sites, managing curious and supportive visitors, picking up unexpected tasks as they eventuated on the day and things we hadn’t thought of. Never mind the euphoria of the finale in the back of Joe’s Waterhole – “We did it!”
It was real grassroots but isn’t that how the best festivals start? I’ve been very proud to observe how the carnivale has been taken on and built up since its origins. It was such a fantastic opportunity to be involved in an event like this.
One enduring memory? Standing outside the Eumundi market office watching the torrential rain on the eve of the carnivale when a body artist and her model husband arrived from NSW. They were so thrilled to be there, strongly embodying the spirit of the event. If I had any doubts at that moment about going ahead in the circumstances they blew them away.
I’m sorry I won’t be in Australia for the event’s return to Eumundi. Have a fantastic festival and I’ll look forward to seeing the results. As we say in France, ‘Courage and bonne chance!’

The Eumundi State School (ESS) P&C is a small, passionate volunteer group tasked with raising funds for critical resources that make ESS a wonderful learning environment.
The Wellbeing Centre, school playgrounds and Enviro Centre are just a few initiatives supported by the group. The P&C runs the tuck-shop, uniform shop and fundraising events, relying on the kindness of local organisations for in-person and financial support.
Community support and generosity help our future generations to learn and grow. The P&C would like to thank everyone who supported them throughout 2023 and into 2024, particularly the Eumundi and District Community Assn Inc. (EDCA), Eumundi Combined Community Organisation (ECCO) and the Eumundi Rotary Club.
