Imagine if your whole community were plunged into complete darkness for weeks with no electricity, no lights, TV, computers, no mobiles!
Students at North Arm State School face that dilemma in their forthcoming musical, and if you saw their previous brilliant musical River Tribes, you will not want to miss this one.
Every 2yrs, music teacher Bec Summers, writes the script, composes the score, directs the actors and band members, designs the set and costumes, and organises a wonderful crew of colleagues, parents, grandparents and volunteers to put on an extravagant production highlighting this tiny school’s huge wealth of talent and cooperation. This is reflected in the musical’s message that with respect, understanding the needs of others, working together and thinking creatively humanity can survive in a happy world.
Sponsored by Eumundi Rotary Club local businesses and private individuals, Imagine That! features almost every child and teacher in this lavish production.
Performances are on 11&12 September, and guests can pre-purchase a meal for the interval. Bookings are filling fast. Tickets: t.ly/oO-HB. ... See MoreSee Less

Data from the 2026 Census provides a snapshot of Australia’s population and international visitors on a particular night. The results are used to better inform governments, at the federal, state and local levels, and organisations when making decisions on a wide range of topics including housing, health care, childcare, schools and economic and regional development. Given the Census is held every 5yrs, it also contributes to a better understanding of changes in Australia.
The first census by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) was taken in 1911, but individual states had collected data prior to federation. The first population counts in Australia were known as musters and were conducted as early as 1788 as a means of matching food and other supplies to the number of people needing them. From 1795 the convict population was mustered on an annual basis.
The ABS chooses the timing of the Census so that it minimises the proportion of the population who are not at their usual place of residence. In 1991, the Census date was moved to early August after all mainland states changed from a 3-term to a 4-term school year with school holidays falling near the end of June. Holding the Census outside of school holidays simply meant a greater likelihood of people being at home and better reflecting the spread of the population. ... See MoreSee Less

Why give blood? In 2025 donors gave 1,069,721 litres from more than 1.6M individual donations. This included 355,000 litres of whole blood and 715,000 litres of plasma and platelets. Each standard donation session draws about 470ml of blood, which represents 8% of an average adult's total blood volume. And more is always needed.
"My blood type is O negative. Blood banks love me because my blood can be matched with anyone and only 1 in 14 Australians have this blood type. Hospitals often use O negative blood when a patient's blood type is unknown so in a trauma situation, O negative is very much in demand. The downside for me is that I can only receive O negative blood but luckily, that hasn't been an issue, so far,” said Rhonda, a regular donor.
