Artist Mary Zouglakis has been named the winner of the inaugural Pomona Railway Station Gallery Local Emerging Artists Prize for her painting Coffee Time Reflections. Mary received the $2,000 major prize sponsored by Noosa Hinterland Real Estate at the conclusion of the highly successful exhibition celebrating emerging artistic talent from across the region.
Judges Michael Brennan, Director of Noosa Regional Gallery and local artist and art educator Pam Miller, faced the difficult task of selecting the winners from 45 exhibited works. The finalists were drawn from around 100 artists, all living within a 50km radius of Pomona, highlighting the depth of creative talent in the Noosa hinterland and surrounding districts.
Support for emerging artists was also recognised through the Encouragement Award, presented to Lisa Mitchell for her work Still Seeing/Reflect. The award carried $1,000 in prize money generously provided by Eumundi Voice in partnership with Eumundi Rotary Club, demonstrating their commitment to fostering and promoting local creative talent. The sponsorship helped ensure emerging artists received both recognition and financial encouragement as they continue to develop their artistic practice.
The Emerging Artists Prize formed part of the Pomona Railway Station Gallery's 25th anniversary celebrations. Local businesses collectively contributed more than $4,000 in cash and prizes, underscoring the strong community support behind the initiative.
The exhibition remains on display in the Pomona Railway Station Gallery's Carriage and Signal Rooms until 23 September.
Pomona Railway Station Gallery is a volunteer-managed not-for-profit gallery, open from 10am-4pm Tuesday to Friday, and from 10am-2pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Visit: pomonagallery.com.au. ...

Popina Eumundi celebrated its 5th birthday at the beginning of September, marking 5yrs of creating amazing meals and helping make Eumundi's dining scene a little more special.
Since opening its doors in 2021, the paddock-to-plate restaurant has built a loyal following, showcasing fresh local produce, and creating a welcoming space where locals and visitors can gather around good food and good company. The restaurant continues to champion Sunshine Coast and hinterland ingredients, with menus that evolve alongside the seasons.
Owners Alex and Penny say the milestone is about more than just reaching 5yrs in business.
"We're incredibly grateful for the support we've received from the Eumundi community. Watching people celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions at Popina over the years has been really rewarding."
They also credit local growers, suppliers and their dedicated team for helping shape Popina's success.
"From day one, we've wanted to create a dining experience that showcases the amazing produce available in our region. We're proud of what we've built and excited about what's still to come."
In an industry known for its challenges, reaching 5yrs is a significant achievement. For many locals, Popina has become more than a restaurant; it is a place to connect, celebrate and enjoy the flavours of the region.
Congratulations to Alex, Penny and the entire Popina team on 5 successful years in Eumundi. Here's to many more. ...

A talented Yr3 student from Eumundi State School has been crowned the winner of this year’s Keep Australia Beautiful Week drawing competition.
Students from across the Sunshine Coast were invited to answer a simple but inspiring question: “What’s the most beautiful place on the Sunshine Coast?” The competition attracted hundreds of colourful and creative entries, showcasing the region’s natural beauty through the eyes of local children.
After carefully reviewing the submissions, with judging assistance from Sharon and Anne of the Coolum Art Collective, Jude Hardy was awarded first prize for an outstanding drawing of Mt Coolum.
Ted O'Brien MP - Federal Member for Fairfax congratulated Jude on the winning artwork and praised all students who participated in the competition.
“Seeing the Sunshine Coast through the eyes of our young people was inspiring. The creativity, effort and appreciation for our region’s natural beauty on display in the entries were truly remarkable,” said Ted.
The drawings submitted by the finalists will be showcased at the Coolum Art Collective’s Spring Art Exhibition on 25 September, giving the community an opportunity to enjoy the impressive artwork and celebrate the talent of local students.
Congratulations again to Jude Hardy on taking out first prize and capturing one of the Sunshine Coast’s most iconic landmarks in such a memorable way. ...
