100% of surplus funds, after production and overhead costs are deducted, are given back as donations to charities within our community to support worthwhile projects and activities.
The Kemabolo project continues to gain momentum, with growing support from both individuals and organisations.
Since the Birthing Kit Workshop last month and the launch of the Friends of Kemabolo Facebook page, community interest has increased significantly. Several Rotary clubs have requested presentations and indicated they would like to contribute to the project in various ways. To help manage this support effectively, the project has been divided into stages, based on priority needs and available funding.
Stage 1 is underway and focuses on freight, logistics and improvements to the Kemabolo Aid Post. This includes the shipment of birthing kits and associated supplies, along with the purchase of essential equipment such as saline drip stands, improved lighting, clean birthing mattresses, and a desk and chair for nurse Joanne.
The first stage also includes minor building upgrades and the planning phase for a sheltered waiting area where women and children can sit comfortably and safely out of the weather while awaiting treatment.
We are delighted to report that a very generous donor has fully funded Stage 1. This means work can begin immediately, and improvements are already starting to take shape. As each component is completed, we will provide progress updates to keep supporters informed.
Our next update will outline Stage 2 of the project, which includes the construction of the patient shelter adjacent to the aid post. Plans also include solar and lighting improvements, as well as the installation of composting toilets.
The excitement surrounding this project has galvanised the entire village and is already having a tangible impact on people's lives. To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_150/27 ...

For our 150th issue of Eumundi Voice, we thought it only fair to reveal the true machinery behind this great little magazine. Yes there are writers, editors, proofreaders, designers, advertisers and deliverers. But as any honest volunteer will admit, the whole operation depends on dogs, coffee, sturdy shoes, forgiving letterboxes, comma placement, and the occasional well-timed lie about split personalities.
Readers may not have noticed, but our “canine correspondents” have ensured a dog has appeared in every one of our 150 issues. This is not coincidence – it is policy. Charlie the dog has graced the pages several times, while less fortunate mutt colleagues have been demoted to tiny specks in distant paddocks. Such is the brutal world of publishing!
Make no mistake: the dogs are the true force behind the magazine. They sit under desks and tables, heavily supervising writers, proofreaders and editors. When we see our humans staring blankly at a screen, we do our civic duty – enticing them outside for a frantic frolic to give those human brains a re-energising break.

Following on from a previous article in Eumundi Voice – The e-bike debate – the Qld Government has now introduced new rules aimed at curbing dangerous behaviour and reducing the risks posed by illegal or high-powered e-bikes. After many community complaints, particularly about young children riding the more dangerous models, the focus is clearly on stopping behaviour that puts lives at risk.
The changes have been introduced in stages. From 1 July 2026 new rules applied to the bikes themselves, including requirements around power output, pedal assistance and speed. Further rules commenced from 31 August 2026, focusing more on who can ride, age limits, licence requirements and available exemptions.
The main rule is that riders of e-bikes, e-scooters, e-skateboards and e-unicycles must now be at least 16yo and hold a valid licence, with a learner licence being the minimum requirement.
There are some important exemptions. These include... To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_150/15 ...
