Eumundi Voice Magazine

Fortnightly local views and news

Eumundi Voice is a free, fortnightly 32-36 page colour magazine with up to 4,500 copies published and delivered to letterboxes and community distribution points across Eumundi and surrounds.

Published by Eumundi Rotary Initiatives Ltd trading as Eumundi Voice, the magazine is a true community publication offering what’s on, what’s new in town, council and police reports, environment, youth, sport, heritage, travel and more. Find out about local businesses who provide our community with a wide range of products and services so you can ‘buy local and support local’.

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.

A dedicated team of volunteers deliver Eumundi Voice every second Thursday in Eumundi and further afield to Verrierdale, Doonan, Belli Park, Kenilworth, Eerwah Vale, North Arm, Cooroy, Kin Kin, Yandina, Pomona and Noosa.

We thank our contributors and advertisers for their continuing support.

On 11 November, Australians gathered to remember those who served in the many wars and peacekeeping operations around the globe, many of whom gave their lives. Eumundi was no exception as a small group gathered to pay their respects and remember.
The service was facilitated by Donata Page from the Eumundi and District Historical Assn, who welcomed everyone and acknowledged the traditional owners. The ESS choir sang, followed by a short address by GPCAPT (Ret) Greg Ison. The Ode of Remembrance was read, the Last Post was played and a minute’s silence was observed. Following the Rouse, students from ESS read out the names of local men who had given their lives in both World Wars. Wreaths were then laid before the short service came to a close.

International Volunteer Day is marked each year on 5 December to raise awareness of the important role volunteers play in responding to challenges facing the world. This year’s theme, as determined by the United Nations is What’s our Future Normal?
There are millions of volunteers in Australia and the contributions they make to communities around the country are enormous. A survey conducted by Volunteering Australia in 2022 found that women volunteered at a higher rate than men, Australians over 55 were more likely to volunteer than younger Australians, and those living in regional Australia were more likely to volunteer than those in capital cities. The vast majority of volunteers were satisfied or very satisfied with their volunteering experience.
Sport and recreation organisations have volunteers as one-quarter of their workforce; community services, welfare, homeless organisations and faith-based organisations each have one-fifth. Volunteers usually perform tasks such as fundraising, running events, teaching, providing information, accounting, finance and management. Other increasingly popular areas of volunteer work are animal welfare, such as fostering and working with animals, environmental protection and conservation, mental health support and working with young people and children.
The Volunteering Australia report also found that 83% of volunteer organisations need more volunteers.

A camphor laurel tree in the kids’ play area at Matso's Sunshine Coast may have met its end, but sculptor Shane Christensen has given it a whole new lease of life. The stump has been transformed with the skill of a chainsaw into a stunning piece of art, showcasing native wildlife.
The sculpture symbolises that our actions send ripples into the food chain. As Shane explained: “All these birds featured are susceptible to rat and mice baits, as they eat rodents that have been poisoned.”
