When Noosa Hinterland resident Liz Stapleton received a call in July telling her that her beloved Springer Spaniel Winston had gone missing while she was in Sydney, she immediately flew home.
It didn't stay a solo search for long. Word travelled fast: neighbours who barely knew the Stapletons delivered flyers, strangers shared Winston's photo on social media, and local businesses put posters in their windows. The search became a community cause – dozens of people combing paddocks and bushland, united in the hope of bringing a favourite dog home.
“We even used a thermal drone over bushland at night to look for signs of heat from animals,” said Liz.
No one knew wild dogs moved through those same paddocks – it wasn't something anyone feared. The hinterland is home, the place where a dog might wander off and be found again, tail wagging and a little muddy.
For 10 days, the search continued. What it uncovered isn’t really the point here – some endings are best left for grieving hearts. What stayed was the memory of how quickly people show up for a stranger’s grief, and how far they will walk for a dog they’ve never patted.
“So many dog owners followed Winston's journey and reached out through Facebook. I wanted to say thank you to this special community,” said Liz.
Determined to honour Winston's memory, Liz channelled her grief into a creative project. As a writer and artist, she teamed up with neighbour and publisher Jonette George, of independent publishing house Sunday Press. Liz met Jonette while they were both searching for Winston.
The result is The Adventures of Winston and Maggie, a chapter book for young readers featuring 6 hinterland adventures shared by 2 cheeky spaniel siblings. Liz wrote and illustrated the book with 7 paintings and 9 drawings inspired by Winston.
Proceeds from the book will support Sunshine Coast 4 Paws Animal Rescue Inc, a volunteer-run charity that helps rehome homeless dogs and cats.
Described by Jonette as “a coffee-table edition suitable for dog-loving adults and kids alike”, the special fabric-covered book is now available for pre-order through Sunday Press, with free pick-up available at Lake Macdonald or postage options available. Visit: sundaypress.com.au. ...

A night at The Nook Cooroy is always a good night, and Brooke Schubert and Kim McCartin Music didn’t disappoint. Kim was supported by her very talented 14yo son Jeb, who has been selected to take part in the prestigious 2026 CMAA - Country Music Association of Australia (CMAA) Academy of Country Music Junior Course. The energy Brooke brought to the stage was electric, and her voice was absolutely incredible. What an amazing night!

A massive thank you to everyone who made the Eumundi Rotary Club's last kit-packing event a phenomenal success. Together we connected, shared ideas, and learned about the unique challenges faced by mothers in Papua New Guinea. We are now ready to do it again on 8 October from 4pm at QCWA Hall, 78 Memorial Dr, Eumundi.
Come along to help us set up, pack kits, hear some exciting project milestones from the team, and enjoy time to mingle.
Keen to see what else we do? The weekly Eumundi Rotary Club meeting begins right after at 6pm, and visitors are warmly welcome to stay. If you can’t make it, you can catch up on our updates in Issue 152 of the Eumundi Voice which hits the streets on the 15 October.
Because of the wonderful volunteers and Friends of Kemabolo who “show up”, this project has gained incredible traction. Please give Janet a heads-up if you can attend by calling 0402 062 465 or email miltech@bigpond.com. ...
