Eumundi provided inspiration from the 1970s to 90s for a creative group of artists, designers, writers and environmentalists including architect Gabriel Poole and his artist wife Elizabeth Frith.
Their office/studio was the Old Bakery on Memorial Dr which now houses a hairdresser and restaurant. After building his Tent House home in Eerwah Vale in 1990 Gabriel drew international acclaim for its innovative design, use of unusual lightweight materials with retractable walls and minimal environmental impact. It received the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Innovation Award. In 1996 he created a new version of the Tent House at Lake Weyba.
Throughout his career Gabriel pursued affordable housing solutions with the aim of increasing the availability of architecture to the mass market and designing a number of Sunshine Coast houses.
His designs catered to clients' budgets, from container and small homes to huge villas of concrete and steel, all impacting on the eye and considering the environment. Elizabeth collaborated on design, use of colour, materials and aesthetic appeal. They saw a future for intergenerational homes where whole families could live together.
Gabriel received the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) Gold Medal for Lifetime Contribution to architecture in 1998 and died in 2020, making his houses even more in demand. ... See MoreSee Less

Hobby horse riding is a new and growing sport in Australia that mirrors other horse events. In many other countries it attracts thousands of competitors and spectators and will soon be showcased at the Qld Hobby Horse Championships on 5 July.
The championships will feature dressage and show jumping events including a high jump competition which sees horses and riders clearing at least 1.2m. It will be held at the Morayfield Sport and Events Centre, an excellent indoor venue centrally located to encourage participation from a wide area.
Matty Sormani and Coralie Kedzlie developed Hobby Horse Riders to bring together riders from all over Australia and the world. Encouraging and helping riders and their families to build their own clubs, they are seeing increased growth. The sport started in Finland early in the 21st century and has spread across the world attracting more than 10,000 hobby horse enthusiasts to the Finnish Annual Championships.
Social and competitive events are regularly organised at Belli Park. Other groups and clubs have events on the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and throughout NSW, Vic and WA.
Members of the Hobby Horse Riders team recently travelled to Canberra to help the Finnish Embassy showcase hobby horse riding in Australia. Hundreds of visitors joined in the fun, from tiny tots to mums and dads and serious hobby horse high jump enthusiasts.
You may wonder, “Why hobby horses?” The sport provides a safe and friendly opportunity to explore and learn about horses and horse events. The rules are similar to other horse events and a fun way to learn and meet others. Riders of all ages participate and newcomers are welcome.
“It’s great to see young people getting outside and being physically active. Many get creative, designing and making their own hobby horses and the tack to go with them,” said Coralie.
