It was a special day for Eumundi dojo Peter Zarb on 27 September, when 3 local Karate Community members undertook a demanding 3.5-hour technical assessment for their respective black belt grades.
The closed-door yudansha intensive put Zac (20), Cillian (17) and Jack (15) through every aspect of their training syllabus, including fundamentals (kihon), forms (kata) and partnered drills (sabaki).
The 3 local lads were supported by 5 interstate guest sensei and senior students, with the examination overseen by Chief Instructor Rich Kay and assisted by local coach Peter Zarb. Together the team created a challenging evaluation that tested not only physical ability, but also technical understanding, history and theory, focus, perseverance and mental resilience.
After the intensive assessment, families were invited into the dojo to watch the final demonstrations and witness the presentation of the students’ hard-earned dan grades.
Zac was awarded his second-level black belt, while Cillian and Jack each earned their first-level black belts.
For Karate Community, the occasion was about more than 3 well-earned individual achievements. It was a proud moment for a small local club that has been sharing its passion for karate in Eumundi for 10yrs.
Zac, Cillian and Jack are Karate Community’s 7th, 8th and 9th black belts, with founding member Zac marking another club milestone.
Attaining a black belt is often seen as the destination of a martial arts journey, but within Karate Community it is regarded as another pathway of learning. Each grade brings new expectations, greater responsibility and an opportunity to continue developing both in and out of the dojo.
For a little club with humble beginnings, seeing young local students reach these milestones alongside their families, instructors and training partners is a fitting reminder of what can be built through commitment, consistency and a supportive community. Visit: karatecommunity.com. ...

QCWA Eumundi Branch members have enjoyed a busy few months since the branch’s annual general meeting at the end of July. A major highlight has been the hall’s internal repaint, which has given the much-loved community space a fresh look. The branch thanks all groups that hire the hall for their patience and understanding during the disruption.
Creativity has also been flourishing at the branch’s weekly craft meetings, where members have been learning to make felt toys and trying their hand at cross-stitch. The group recently welcomed Jess from Dovida, who delivered an informative and engaging talk on navigating the aged care system.
Members also shared a delicious morning tea at EATS - Meals that Matter Café, enjoying good food, great company and plenty of conversation. The branch was delighted to welcome Sammy, its newest and youngest member.
New members are always welcome. Join the Eumundi QCWA at the QCWA Hall, 78 Memorial Dr, Eumundi every Tuesday from 9.30am-12noon for friendship, craft and the opportunity to give back to the local community. ...

After a year’s hiatus, the Great Noosa Trail Walk (GNTW) returned over the King’s Birthday long weekend of 3-5 October under new organisers Bob and Tracy of Trail Trekkers, opening a fresh chapter for the much-loved hinterland event.
The 3-day walk follows the Noosa Trail Network through Cooroy, Kin Kin, Cooran and Pomona combining farmland, forest and ocean-view lookouts with each town’s cafés, antique shops and guest houses.
The walk was founded by Shaun Walsh and first held in October 2013, beginning a community-led tradition he continues to support today as one of the event’s volunteer trail guides. In 2019, stewardship passed to the volunteer-run Cooroy Future Group, whose local expertise and community focus helped the event continue to grow.
