Word on the street is...
When I sped into the vets just after 5pm with my very sick cat and sobbing children, vet David turned back from his car, took my cat Ned inside, put her on the table gently and listened to her heart as it stopped. He then graciously waited while I wept, before showing me the paralysis tick. I’m very grateful for an act of kindness in my moment of desperation. Thanks also to mechanic Graham who patched the puncture in my tyre after I had gunned the car down our dirt road in a bid to save Ned. And to the good souls who rallied and understood how sad it is to lose a best pet friend. We also lost our guinea pig to our resident python last week – bit of a pet onslaught really. I guess that’s the reality that comes with living in the country. Mother Nature is very beautiful, but every now and again she’s going to slap you in the face.
Usually, when I work on a Green I have a cat on the desk chair behind me, back to back. This issue I’ve had to resort to pillows. It’s the fi rst time in 12 years that I write alone.

Nourish have had to close temporarily due to an emergency in Sydney.
A new Business Centre is opening in Eumundi. Elfi e at Nest has a new green tea room devoted to café pursuits. Nic and Rob Makim are the new owners of Berkelouw café. So far Cooroy State School has only had 40 preps enrol – which
means it’s lost a whole class worth of kids. ESS has had record numbers of enrolment for prep. Pat Rafter’s old coach is giving lessons in Eumundi. Dr Patti Slegers is back at the Eumundi Clinic Kinky Freeman is coming to Joe’s in November. If you have bikie tats and you meet two bikie mates at the pub
for a beer, you can go to jail for six months. We should have a local sausage festival and competition. The smell of a dead horse fl y attracts more horse fl ies. Eumundi needs a monthly book swap. Dan’s the new man at the Imperial.

Computer Notes Nathan Woodcock
Nathan Woodcock Systems [email protected] Ph 1300 995 502
I rarely make a fuss about viruses but this one really needs people to change their behaviour. This virus is called the Crypto virus, and if you get it, it steadily and silently encrypts all of your documents, pictures, spreadsheets, PDF and just about every other kind of fi le. It also encrypts fi les on your backup drive and any shared folders on other computers you connect to. Once it has done its job, it makes itself known and demands between $300 to $50,000 for the decryption key. This is called Ransomware. Without this decryption key (password) it’s impossible to recover any document at all from your computer. Luckily, my client has a cloud backup which not only backs up to the internet every day, but keeps a copy of all versions of fi les for the past 30 days. By downloading all their fi les from the cloud backup as they were last Thursday, they are out of trouble. If they, like you at home and most businesses, only had a USB backup drive that did a daily backup they would have been out of luck, as it would have just backed up encrypted fi les. A cloud backup is now essential for everyone.

Smart Pup Assistance dog placed in Doonan Fran Maguire
Sunshine Coast based organisation Smart Pups Assistance Dogs for Special Needs Children has placed its first Seizure Response/Mobility Assistance Dog on the Coast with a family in Doonan. Charlie Jephcott, after a patient three year wait, is thrilled to
have Jackson, a 14 month old Labrador.
Charlie has almost daily seizures that place him in constant danger of falling suddenly and being seriously injured. Jackson is trained to bark an alert as soon as he sees Charlie have a seizure to alert family or carers
to the situation.
“We have already seen Jackson showing this alert behaviour even though they have only been working together for a week,” Deborah Jephcott, Charlie’s mother, said.
“Having Jackson with me also helps others to feel more comfortable with my seizures,” said Charlie.
Jackson is trained to bring Charlie a pillow, lie with his head on Charlie’s lap to comfort while he is having a seizure and act as a support to help him up if he is on the floor. He is also trained to walk beside Charlie’s wheelchair and help in many other practical ways. Best of all, Charlie now has a special friend to love and enjoy and know that Jackson will be at his side 24 hours a day.
Patricia McAlister founded not-for-profit charity Smart Pups just over three years ago and the organisation has placed 18 Government Certified Assistance Dogs around Australia. These include Autism
Assist, Seizure Response and Mobility Assistance Dogs.
Each dog goes through many months of training to be able to work effectively in all public places and assist their person gain independence. The cost to raise and train each dog is $25,000. Patricia said they receive no government funding and rely on donations and grants to keep their program going. We will be following Charlie’s and Jackson’s progress in Eumundi Green and we’ll soon be able to bring you news of a Smart Pup in training to be placed in our community.
Anyone interested in sponsoring a puppy or
wanting to know more about applying for an assistance dog can email [email protected] or look
at www.smartpups.org.au, and you can follow them on www.facebook.com/
SmartPups.

Program will open in January 2014 so start planning for your next community project now.Council recently installed a re-furbished bus shelter outside the 110 Estate in Eumundi and we’ve already had feedback from the local bus driver that the school kids love their new shelter. I helped to coordinate this project as I’d received requests from the community and the bus operator to do something about providing a bus shelter at this location - I’m glad Council stepped up to help make life a little easier for the school bus drivers and their passengers.

Remembrance Day at Eumundi At 11am on 11 November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare. Since then it has become a tradition of allied nations to commemorate their war dead with an observation of silence at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Whilst this observance originally honoured the
between 9 and 13 million dead from the mobilisation of over 70 million people with perhaps as many as one-third of the dead
with no known grave, today the observance honours all who have served and suffered in any military or peace-keeping confl ict.

Big thank you from Stringybark Cottage Thank you to our wonderful community for visiting our open garden in large numbers over the long weekend. As well as sharing the joy of gardening and of watching people happily catching up with friends over a cuppa, we were blown away by the $14,754 profi t made over the two days. The funds raised from gate takings, raffl e tickets, refreshments and plant sales has gone to the No Blasted Quarry campaign to oppose a development application before the courts next month for a mega quarry in the valley close by our property and many other residential properties in the area. The quarry is half way between Eumundi and Coolum as the crow fl ies and if they ever did open it up for truck access on Pryors Rd, Eumundi would be an accident waiting to happen. The magnifi cent amount raised was due in no small part to generous donors including: Botanico, Anne Everingham Jewellery, Libbys Aussie Wool, Julia Emblin, Noosa Nets and Bedlinen, Swingz and Thingz, Eclectic Style, Plants Direct, Gayle Enkleman, Eumundi Meats, Richies Bakery Eumundi, Peregian Butcher, Nurseries-Plants Direct, Big Leaf Nursery, Murphy and Nowland, Florabundance, Eplants, and Utopia Palms. Again, thank you one and all. Please do what you can to support Yandina Creek Progress Assn’s No Blasted Quarry campaign over the next few weeks. It is a hideous, huge quarry that is planned. It would destroy the beauty and tranquillity of a vast area.

Open garden a great success Victoria Kane Geoff Rafter coaching the community
The No Blasted Quarry Campaign has been handed a boost from the Stringybark Cottage Open Garden held over the weekend of October 5 and 6. Cheryl and Bob Boyd of Verrierdale opened the gates of their much admired gardens to the public for the first time in four years to assist in raising funds for the plight. I can happily report they received $15,000 from the weekend. These events do not just happen on their own and
a special thanks goes to our sponsors and to the merry band of 30 volunteers who ensured the smooth operation of the event. The Yandina Ck Progress Assoc. would especially like to acknowledge the overwhelming generosity of Cheryl and Bob who unselfishly shared the private space of their beautiful gardens to assist the campaign. It is the actions of individuals like Cheryl and Bob that makes our community such a great place to be.
Geoff Rafter is now tennis coaching on Sunrise Rd on a newly rebuilt synthetic court. This is the tennis court that he and his brother Pat trained on for many years. The court is possibly Eumundi’s closest thing to hallowed “turf”, because as many people know Pat went on to become world number one and two-time US Open winner, and is the current Davis Cup Captain. Geoff coached Pat on the ATP
tour for many years as well as other notables such as Sandon Stolle and Bryan Shelton. Following years of travelling and coaching he settled in Hong Kong coaching all levels from young kids and adult beginners, all the way through to tournament players. Geoff is now excited to bring his coaching home where he grew up playing tennis on the Sunrise Rd court, to all levels of players. 0402 350 260.

Update from Masig Island Gee Wester
I am currently teaching on a tiny little island in the Torres Strait called Masig Island (also known as Yorke Island). The island is 2.7km long and 800m wide at its widest part. It is surrounded by coral reef and the clearest waters you can imagine. It is a very peaceful place, punctuated only by the thud of falling coconuts. Next year I will be returning to my position at Eumundi State School. I am very excited to be seeing all those familiar faces again and have a whole swag of new songs and dances to teach the kids! (and the staff!). I thought you might be interested to know about a group of kitesurfers that recently sailed onto Masig Island. Their mission was to raise awareness and to support those affected by breast cancer. They came all the way from the tip of Australia at Seisia and sailed to Papua New Guinea stopping off at little islands along the way. This was also to raise money for the Glen McGrath Foundation. Our entire school - 53 kids! - waited patiently on the beach to greet them as they sailed in on bright pink kitesurfi ng boards. Apart from the distances involved, this took a lot of courage as the waters around here have very healthy populations of hammerhead and tiger sharks, not to mention the crocodiles closer to the mainland! As our own school population at Eumundi has recently experienced the impact of breast cancer amongst staff and parents alike, I thought you might like to know that, although we are very far away, we all send our love and support. Best wishes and see you next year!
An amazing year of sportsEumundi Green State Schooler Joel Kerr has had some pretty amazing sporting acheivements so far this year. Joel was selected in Sunshine Coast Regional Schoolboys Rugby after fi rst making the district team. The state titles were held in Goondiwindi in August. Joel played with fellow Eumundi resident Evan Mclean who was the captain for this squad and led by example. Both boys have played for The Mighty Eumundi Dragons Rugby Club which Joel is still playing for at club level.
Joel was called into the Sunshine Coast Regional Softball team to compete in the 3 day state titles in Ipswich. The team won all their games but missed out on the grand fi nal.
In cricket Joel represented Sunshine Coast in the Ian Healy Cup in Brisbane and received the best bowler award. Joel Bowled 28 overs for 31 runs taking 10 wickets and 12 maiden overs. He has been selected to represent the Coast Schoolboys cricket after a 2 day trial at Maroochydore.
Joel says he owes a great deal of thanks to The Eumundi Dragons Rugby Club, Eumundi State School P&C and the Yandina Cricket Club for their support. No doubt his dedicated chauffeurs (read parents) deserve some credit too.
Good Shepherd Lutheran College (GSLC) welcomed home three teams of students who represented Queensland at the Asia Pacifi c Finals of the Tournament of Minds (TOM) at the Australian National University in Canberra recently. Two of the three GSLC teams came home with Tournament Honours. The aim of the TOM competition is to
enhance potential by developing diverse skills, enterprise, time management and the discipline to work collaboratively within a challenging and competitive environment.

ECCO’s board is assisting Council develop a parking plan for Eumundi. For years parking has been a hot issue for residents, businesses and visitors as we welcome valued visitors. It’s what makes our town great and sometimes gives us a shared headache. More car parks have been created but more improvements are called for. Fifty businesses have completed the survey and the results will be summarised and reviewed before handing on to Council.

First time and return visitors to Eumundi’s main car park should now be in no doubt they are encouraged to Experience Eumundi. Last week these welcome fl ags highlighting the essence of Eumundi were installed in a high spot opposite the Albert St entrance to the bottom car park to maximise sighting by arriving and departing visitors. The installation of the poles is an important strategy of ECCO’s Experience Eumundi marketing plan designed to grow the number of visitors and to lengthen their stay and increase their spend. Sunshine Coast Council made a welcome contribution towards the cost of the poles project.
Welcome to Eumundi
Developing a parking plan
Designer Jen Hayward of the label Madzara, has been a Saturday staple at Original Eumundi Markets for a while now, in part because her fun skirts and dresses are coveted by many a local. Jen sews her timeless designs in a sunlit studio workshop in Kin Kin. Eumundi Green asked her to give a little insight into her craft.
How did Madzara come about? Inspired by being different, I developed an early interest in sewing and have been making clothes for myself and friends for many years. After completing a Certifi cate in Fashion Design, it gave me pattern making skills which led me to create a range of clothing to sell at the Eumundi Markets.
Where do you fi nd your inspiration? My inspiration comes from the fabrics that I collect. I am drawn to colour and quirkiness! I use cotton recycled fabrics gathered from various sources ranging from modern to vintage.
Do you still enjoy sewing? I just love sewing. I would love to sew more if I could. Sewing and creating from home affords me a lifestyle to balance my busy home life with my husband and two daughters.
What do you like about having a stall at the markets? I thrive on customers who come in and love my clothes as much as I do. Of course there is always the social side - being with my market family and all the creative energy.
The name for your label comes from your daughters. Are they involved in Madzara? Maddy and Zara, my daughters, have been involved in my business from day one. They help me run my stall each week as well as offering honest feedback during the week with some of my creations.
What's your latest spring range like? My latest design is the Scarlet dress - a new spring/summer mid length dress which is extremely fl attering to all body shapes.
A love of sewing and patterns

Theatre, Books and Arts
Indee Theatre John Burls
The search is on! While many of the main roles have been cast for January’s Alice in Wonderland, the story, having so many characters, calls for more actors, junior and senior. Children joining the Indee Young Players classes will be encouraged to take on roles in this major production. Any adults who’d like to try their hand at acting by starting out with a minor role to ease in, will be most welcome. But now is the time to put your hand up – if you’re ever going to do it make this the moment.
Alice in Wonderland is a musical, fun-fi lled adventure, as Alice, on a quiet picnic, falls down a rabbit burrow and enters a wondrous world. There she meets up with such well-loved characters as the Mad Hatter, the Walrus and the Carpenter, the Queen of Hearts, Dormouse, the White Rabbit, Mr Ugly Caterpillar, who turns into a beautiful butterfl y, and many more.
This delightful, family pantomime will run over three weekends from Friday 3 January at 5pm. Children are invited to come dressed-up as their favourite cartoon or pantomime character. They can all take part in the parade onstage at interval and all kids in costume will be in the draw for prizes. Free popcorn for kids too!
On reading about the death of Tom Clancy recently I got on a wave of nostalgia. Just a mention of his name takes me off-watch to the junior sailors mess of one of our R.A.N. Submarines, and to the chorused groans as someone would suggest that we should watch The Hunt for Red October...AGAIN! I don’t think there would be a submariner alive – current or ex - who hasn’t read the book or seen the subsequent movie that kicked off Clancy’s career as possibly the best selling techno-thriller writer of all time. Some say he invented the genre. Seventeen bestsellers and with a gazillion books in print he was hard to ignore. His popularity was so great his name became a global brand to be licensed and applied to ghost written novels, and computer games.
His books are a treasure trove of technical and geo-political detail, painstakingly researched, all linked together by day swallowing storytelling. The book snob that lurks in me fi nds it painful to admit, but once you get cracking, his novels are impossible to put down. Ah the joys of the e-book – I can pretend I’m intensely reading Proust. Just don’t look in my bookshelf at home. Reading about, or watching submarines getting hunted and torpedoed is perhaps an odd choice of entertainment for a submarine crew at depth (the German movie Das Boot was a perennial favorite). So I’ll leave it to Tom Clancy for the fi nal word: “The difference between fi ction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.”

Persian pomegranate Sandy Bradley
One of the oldest known fruits, the lovely Pomegranate (Punica granatum), a native plant of Persia is making a comeback. There have been many new revelations and research fi ndings on this complex fruit. The pomegranate is a nutrient dense food source rich in phytochemical compounds. Pomegranates contain high levels of fl avonoids and polyphenols, potent antioxidants allegedly offering protection against heart disease and cancer. A glass of pomegranate juice is said to have more antioxidants than red
wine, green tea, blueberries or cranberries. They are delicious as a fruit and are used heavily in Middle Eastern cooking. I use pomegranate molasses with plain vinaigrette as a salad dressing and always keep a bottle handy in the larder. Here are a couple of recipes to try out. Both quick, easy to prepare and delicious. Pomegranates are in season now.
Thank you to John at Eumundi Meats for selling lovely lamb loin a couple of dollars a kilo cheaper than it was in Woolies! Yay - support local!
Ingredients: • 8 cups organic baby spinach• 1 cup pomegranate juice• 1 cup blueberries, fresh (or frozen) • 1 cup strawberries, fresh (or frozen) • 8 dates, cut in half • 2 tablespoons fl axseeds, ground • 1/2 avocado, optional
Blend together! This is delicious and very healthy.

10th Birthday
One in fi ve children with poorly controlled asthma are not being supplied with a preventer, a University of Tasmania study has revealed. The study suggested that preventer inhalers were being underused in children with asthma who were at high risk, such as those who had presented in an Emergency Department, or those who had received oral corticosteroids.
The analysis of the medication records of almost 1000 children found more than one-third did not have an asthma management plan. However, three-quarters of parents thought their child’s asthma management was adequate. The research also showed that 37per cent of children were not using a spacer inhaler and there was high use of long-acting beta agonists, a medication that plays a “controversial” role in childhood asthma management, said the authors.
When you have asthma symptoms the muscles in the airways tighten and the lining of the airways swell and produce sticky mucus. These changes cause the airways to
become narrow, so that there is less space for the air to fl ow into and out of the lungs.
Symptoms may include: coughing; a tight feeling in the chest; wheezing; shortness of breath; and struggling to breathe. These symptoms are often worse at night, in the early morning or during exercise. Children may also: not eat or drink as much; may cry; have a tummy ache and vomit; become tired quickly; and get more puffed out than usual when running and playing. Inaccurate perceptions of a child’s asthma control was “a common fi nding” among parents.
Good asthma control means having all of the following:
No night-time asthma symptoms
No asthma symptoms on waking
No need for reliever medication
No restriction of day-to-day activities
No days off school or work due to asthma
No asthma attacks or fl are-ups
Regularly waking from asthma symptoms or using your reliever medication (blue puffer) more
than 2–3 times a week (except before exercise) should NOT be a "normal" part of having asthma. An integral part of asthma management is the development of a written asthma action plan by the person with asthma and/or their carer together with their doctor. An asthma action plan helps the person with asthma and/or their carer recognise worsening asthma and gives clear instructions on what to do in response. It is also important that family members and carers of asthmatic children are familiar with how to apply fi rst aid when someone is having an asthma attack.
Asthmatic children are missing out on preventers Tania Watson, Pharmacist

Tips for going formalFor many teens going to their school formal this month is a huge occasion and a celebration for all their hard work throughout the year. But it can also be really stressful. Here are 10 tips to help you have a fabulous formal.
Plan in advance- have dresses, tux, shoes, bags and what hairstyle you would like locked in at least a week before to avoid a last minute panic.
Dress for style – and comfort! Make sure your dress is suitable for your body shape. Also, shorter or sleeveless doesn’t necessarily mean sexier but can mean you’re self-conscious. Elegance and confi dence is much more beautiful.
If heels are too high you won’t have much fun dancing and will end the night hobbling. Wear your new shoes in so you don’t get blisters – or topple over!
Don’t go overboard with accessories. Pick a few key pieces that show off your dress, hair and makeup. Too many sparkles and people won’t see you just the bling.
Practice your makeup before the big night. What you see in your head might be harder to create than you think. And remember if you’re wearing heavy eye makeup, go with a softer lip colour. Or if you go with vibrant lips then balance with simple sparkly eyes.
Go as a group. Share the costs of car hire and you’ll have a lot of fun picking up your friends. It also means things aren’t as awkward if you don’t know your date very well.
Eat and drink something light and healthy beforehand. You’ll probably be having too much fun to eat much at the event.
Be friendly. Forget any grudges orfallouts for this one night. Be gracious and kind to everyone and you’ll be the belle of the ball.
Don’t stress. A formal is meant to be a happy night. Don’t put too many expectations on the night; just have fun! Nothing you wear will be as beautiful as your smile.
When it's over, it’s over. Don’t ruin a fantastic night by dragging it on. Go out with a bang – not a messy wimper.

Eumundi Wildlife Centre Matt Popplewell
Our thoughts this week lie with our wildlife further south greatly affected by the devastating fi res we are witnessing in NSW. There are great fears wildlife will suffer dramatic losses from the NSW bushfi res, with growing
numbers of possums, koalas and gliders being found with burns and smoke inhalation. It was not clear how many animals had been killed due to such large areas being burned, but tens of thousands are likely to be affected. Birds are able to escape a fi re front, but arboreal animals will be badly affected and while some reptiles might be able to dig down to survive, they will fi nd most of their food gone after the fi re. Endangered species of gliders and the giant dragonfl y will suffer very serious losses. There was also particular concern for koalas, which are unable to move quickly from trees once a fi re is closing in.
If you are in a situation where you discover a burnt or fi re-effected animal, loosely wrap in a towel and put into a box for their own safety and bring to us here at the centre. Despite the shortage of food given the drought, Gil says we shouldn’t leave food out. She explained that when birds are hungry they eat anything they can fi nd and this can damage their beaks/mouthparts - which can lead to eating problems in the future.
Also they tend to eat stuff that may damage their guts, so generally we should only leave out water and leave them to fi nd their natural food.
If you would like to assist with the situation in NSW, Petbarn is running an appeal in conjunction with the RSPCA to assist rescue and recovery efforts aimed at wildlife, pets and livestock. You can donate to this appeal at all Petbarn stores. The RSPCA is also appealing for online donations to help RSPCA inspectors help animals affected by the bushfi res.

I can't tell you how much I love bamboo. Its inherent strength and versatility win me over every time. Just thinking about it now puts me in a balmy, tropical mood. The rustling sound the leaves make in the slightest breeze, the deep knocking
noise as the canes gently bump their neighbours, and that's just while it's growing. Don't get me started about the evocative sounds that echo from a bamboo wind chime, fl ute or pan pipes. I could go on about these etheric wonders for hours, but instead will suffi ce to tell you how we use nature's largest grass here on the better ridge.
To begin with there are the obvious uses - stakes and frames for young plants to climb up, teepees for children to play in, scarecrow cross-sections, poles to attach shade cloth to for temporary shade for plants or chickens, fl ag poles and clothes hanging rails, not to mention erosion control and soil stabilization, but at the moment we are using our recent harvest to make lattice privacy screens.
We use a pole saw to cut the outermost stalks in our clump
and gather up the haul. From there we have an excellent system involving two adults and at least one child, a block of wood, a machete or heavy meat cleaver and pair of secateurs. Once we have decided where the lattice is to go, we measure the lengths of poles that are required and cut a 'yard-stick'. This is placed on the ground in front of the chopping block and each stalk is measured against this and cut to length. Once this happens the second adult uses the secateurs to remove the leafy stems. For lattice and trellises we leave an inch or two of stems attached to the pole as they are great holds for climbing tendrils to attach to and make easy brackets on which to place lattice cross members. The child (or children if they are cooperating) then take each pole in turn and grade it according to thickness and
length and create neat stacks, or alternatively play stick-fi ghting ninjas, javelin throwing and/or teepee club-house building!
When the adults are allowed access to the piles again we lay out the lattice cross sections on the ground and secure them with wire, twine, home made rope, or in a pinch, cable ties. Once the lattice is securely joined we drive star pickets into the area we want to fence and attach the screen to it. This saves having to try and hammer the bamboo directly into the ground (which, just for the record, usually ends up splitting one or both ends of the pole). Then hey presto – you have a great screen ready for growing creepers on or, if you have made the poles close enough together, ready for instant privacy (great for when you are building a house and have an outside shower!).
Since talking to people about Stage One of the Eumundi – Cooroy Rail Trail, many people have commented to me about the lack of walking or bike riding tracks available around Eumundi. There is a very interesting sealed walking/bicycle path that is worth discovering. Living on the north side of town, I enjoy bike riding with my daughter along a track that begins on Memorial Dr, winds its way beneath the Brisbane Motorway north bound off ramp, around and up and over the motorway, then back down underneath the West
Eumundi Rd before terminating at Balsam Road near the historic Eumundi Saleyards. From this point walkers can stroll that area of the historic Eumundi Saleyards and cemetery. From the tennis court area, this walk is completely safe and free of traffi c.
I know that there are others before me that have tried establishing a network of walking tracks in the area, but this infrastructure makes an excellent cornerstone from which to expand future recreation facilities. The old Butter Factory
precinct will soon be up for sale and perhaps the opportunity is going to appear for the Eumundi Rail Trail Committee (a sub-committee of the Eumundi Historical Assoc.) to begin negotiations for Stage One of the Eumundi – Cooroy Rail Trail. This would allow people to walk from the market area, through the Noosa Rd underpass and right around to Elizabeth St. Considerable money must have been invested into this fi ne walking track by planners back in the late 90’s and it is a shame to not see it being utilised.

Mosquitoes – an ancient enemy Kon Hepers
Scientists recently examined the fossilised body of a mosquito found in a Montana riverbed that dated 40 million years. They could clearly determine that its abdomen contained vestiges of blood. Mosquitoes have been plaguing man and beast for a long time. They’re found in their billions from Arctic tundra to equatorial rainforest. There are about 3500 species worldwide, with about 300 species in Australia. Fortunately only a very few of them “attack” humans.
They’re probably the most dangerous creature on earth - excluding microbes. According to WHO fi gures, in 2011 over 200 million people were infected by mosquito-borne malaria resulting in over 660,000 deaths. That’s from malaria alone! Here in Australia the malaria parasite is carried by a specifi c mosquito called Anopheles farauti (only the genus Anopheles carries malaria) but so far it exists only along our extreme northern coastline although it is wide-spread in New Guinea. However, with a warming climate and increased tourism, it will inevitably spread south.
A greater worry to us is another mosquito species, Aedes aegypti,
which is the prime vector for spreading dengue fever. (A vector is any animal or insect capable of spreading a disease.) This insect also requires tropical conditions to breed but again, with warming climate, we are witnessing its spread southward, already reaching Townsville and certain to arrive in our area in the near future. Dengue fever is generally not fatal but extremely nasty. The old-timers called it “breakbone” and I can personally vouch for the accuracy of that name. While working in Fiji I was infected and the best way to describe the symptoms is that for the fi rst week or so it felt like my body was being put through a crusher while someone was beating my head with a baseball bat and pouring hot water on me. That subsided to general weakness and aching bones - which lasted for weeks.
Here on the Sunshine Coast the main vector is a closely related species called Ochlerotatus notoscriptus which breeds in pools and tree hollows in the bush but also in any still water standing around our properties. This mosquito bites by day and night and is the carrier of Ross River and Barmah Forest viruses
and also possibly Encephalitis and heartworm in dogs.
There is also the the Common House Brown, or Culex quinquefasciatus, found in every continent between latitudes 36 degrees north and south (basically all over Australia except the extreme south). This is the one that annoys us in the house but is not a vector for any disease.
The life-cycle of mosquitoes is familiar to all of us. Eggs are laid in still water, hatch out into “wrigglers”, then change into pupae (still in the water) and fi nally emerge as the winged insect. Females immediately take off in search of blood from mammal, bird or even reptile, while males seek out nectar or other plant juices. Why then do the females go out hunting blood? They actually require a protein hit to allow their own eggs to develop. From a distance of 15m they detect (mainly) an increase in carbon dioxide level from exhalation, but also other odours such as perspiration, to alert them to a potential blood meal. Although their air-speed is only about 1.5 to 2 kph, their wings beat at an astonishing 300 to 600 times per second, yes, per
second. That whining noise is not intended to annoy us (although it does) but is made to allow males and females to identify one another. And that buzz/whine is not made by the wings fl apping, but by a small organ at the wing base called a stridulatory organ which has two parts rubbing against each other, generating the sound. Crickets and cicadas also stridulate.
Now a new threat has appeared called Asian Tiger Aedes albopictus. Wide-spread in Asia, including Bali, it carries a fever similar to Dengue called Chikungunya. It has been found on the Torres Strait islands and needs tropical/subtropical conditions so could spread as far south as Tasmania.
Even though there are numerous still-water sources in our area it is in everyone’s interest to disrupt mosquitoes’ breeding cycle by ensuring that no water containers of any description are standing around. If you have birdbaths or water containers around your property, make sure you change the water daily.

John and I are travelling in a 27ft RV (motor home) from LA to Philadelphia. So far we have followed Route 66 through California, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma, and we are currently in St Louis, Missouri.
The scenery since we crossed into Arizona has been wonderful and people so very helpful and friendly. As all national parks were closed we detoured to see Monument Valley and are so glad we did. It has to be seen to be believed and makes a great addition to any bucket list. We met an Indian of the Dineh tribe, we call them Navajo but he assured us that was the white man's name (meaning long knife), and not accurate.
As we are self contained we've been overnighting in service stations and shopping centre car parks along with many other RV travellers. We are welcome to stay
in these places - a lesson to be learned by some of our coastal neighbours who do nothing but complain about the presence of people in caravans.
Over here, our comfort is the number one consideration as people realise just how much money we put into the community. We also detoured to Dallas where we attended the Texas State Fair, sadly it was raining but we still enjoyed the many exhibits. We also visited Fort Worth stockyards where they drive Texas longhorns up the road twice a day which is quite a sight. It's been lovely watching the changes in the colour of leaves as we move further north east.
Today the trees were every colour from green to red to orange to yellow. Over the next couple of weeks it will only get prettier.
