Members of the Eumundi SS P&C, Eumundi Rotary Club and The Journeymen were out and about at the annual Eumundi State School Father’s Day Breakfast, helping to make the morning a memorable occasion for local dads and father figures ahead of Father’s Day on 6 September.
The popular community event provided an opportunity for families to come together, share breakfast and celebrate the important role fathers and father figures play in the lives of children. With the support of dedicated volunteers, the morning was filled with conversation, connection and community spirit.
A special thank you goes to Chappy Sam, who coordinates the event each year. Through Sam’s commitment and the support of local organisations and volunteers, families are given the chance to strengthen connections with their loved ones while building relationships within the wider community. ...

Balancing magic, memory, and motherhood, Sunshine Coast performer Leonie Deavin has spent nearly 3 decades turning dance, stilt-walking and fabulous costuming into a family legacy now shared across 3 generations.
If you look up during a local festival you might catch a glimpse of Leonie Deavin. Standing 8 feet tall (approximately 2.4m) in vibrant sequins and carnival silks she is hard to miss. But for Leonie – founder of Nova Star Productions – stilts are merely a vehicle. Her true medium is creating a space for shared playfulness between strangers.
For 30yrs Leonie has viewed the world from this unusual vantage point. Since learning to walk on stilts in Darwin in 1996 her career has taken her to grand stages, from dancing with Leo Sayer to weaving through crowds at the Australian Open. Yet she prefers performing to children at the Royal Children’s Hospital or visitors at community festivals.
To Leonie costumes are not enough – the real work is in connection. Through improvisation and dance she helps people light up. Shy children reach out and adults enter a different world. This mission – creating magical moments – remains captured in her original slogan.
Recently that joy has taken on a deeper generational meaning. Leonie’s daughter grew up in a home defined by colourful chaos and costumes. At age 13 she began following in her mother’s footsteps. Today at 22, she stands beside Leonie as an extraordinary stilt artist and costume designer, bringing her own creativity to their business.
This evolution stretches back even further. Leonie credits her own mother Barbara for instilling a love for dance and the craft of sewing costumes. The magic has travelled beautifully through 3 generations of women. ...
