When Deborah Lawrie flew from Alice Springs to Darwin on 22 January 1980, the sky did not fall in – but she certainly made headlines. At the controls was Australia’s first female pilot hired by a major airline. Now living between Sydney and Peregian Beach, Deb still flies regular rosters with Virgin Australia. After 46 years in the cockpit she is believed to be the longest-serving female pilot in the world.
Her achievement followed a 2yr battle with Sir Reginald Ansett before the Victorian Equal Opportunity Board. He refused to train her, stating male pilots were stronger, and that menstrual cycles, pregnancy and childbirth disruptions would jeopardise safety and incur extra costs to the airline.
Her recent autobiography – Touching the Sky – tells the story of her inspirational fight for gender equality as a pilot. Last year the play Fly Girl was staged at Sydney’s Ensemble Theatre and a movie is now planned. To continue reading, please click here: issuu.com/eumundivoice/docs/eumundi_voice_issue_145/25
Deb will be a special guest at Noosa Alive! at Peppers Resort on 20 July, where she will discuss Fly Girl with playwrights Catherine Moore and Genevieve Hegney. Tickets: noosaalive.com.au. ... See MoreSee Less

The Australian Govt has released a warning about the latest scam: “Scammers are targeting people who use food delivery platforms, including restaurants, customers and delivery workers. They may pretend to be DoorDash, Uber Eats, a restaurant or a customer.
They may contact you about an order, refund, cancellation, account issue or payment problem. They may ask for a 1-time code, login details, your mobile number or bank information. They use these details to take over accounts, change payment settings or redirect money. Scammers may claim they can see your order but demand you provide additional details or payment outside the app in order to process it.”
Scammers can redirect the money delivery workers have earned, by claiming the order was cancelled, or a mistaken double order, and asking for bank details to (helpfully!) make compensation.
So, be extra careful when responding to 1-time codes, or generic alerts about your account, or if you are told to respond immediately, as these are often clues to a scam. Visit: scamwatch.gov.au. ... See MoreSee Less

The question of whether Eumundi would benefit from a neighbourhood centre is being put to the local community. Residents and organisations are being invited to consider the potential advantages of establishing such a service – and to share their ideas about what it could look like.
Neighbourhood Centres – as described by Neighbourhood Centres Qld – are inclusive community spaces where everyone is welcome. They act as hubs where people can connect through events and activities, access support services, and contribute to building a stronger, more connected community. Typically these centres are not-for-profit and community-led, and often supported by state and local government funding, with staff working alongside dedicated volunteers.
Early conversations are already underway with community groups including QCWA Eumundi Branch, Eumundi Rotary Club, Eumundi Police and Eumundi State School, who have been approached to share feedback and identify local needs. A broader consultation with other organisations is also in progress, with the goal of understanding whether there is sufficient demand – and if so, what priorities should be addressed.
