Nambour

I think everyone across all scenes will always say that there is something different and That's true, right? Like, of course, city to city, place to place, scenes are going to vary in terms of, you know, sound and I guess, you know, attitudes.

But I think the thing that really makes Sunshine Coast and like Nambour more specifically unique is the fact that Nambour, I love Nambour so much and I love it because it still is a bit of a shithole.

Like, and I don't mean that in a disrespectful way.

I mean that in the best way possible.

And because

it allows people in an area like the Sunshine Coast, which is quite, you know, in part still quite conservative, it allows people... to come to something that's more left of field and still express themselves.

And I think as well, there's the Sunshine Coast hardcore scene, but then right next to it is a scene that Borgie from Bad Habits has really helped cultivate over the last few years of just like, there are people that no matter the type of music, whether it's hardcore show, punk show, there's a core group of people that will come to every single show that is on in Nambour.

And that's a credit to Borg you know, it's not just a lot of times, you know, it's not just hardcore people.

And yeah, I worked for them for a number of years.

I was h- then hired to help open the Nambour office.

Um, we had a satellite office, Peter and I, for a couple of years.

So yeah, really networked through, you know, their corporate building in, um, on Eagle Street in Brisbane, so it is one big family and still to this day, I leverage my network there all the time.

And then I was obviously quite naturally passionate about community, so when those two came together, it, something really ignited in me.

And it's so funny, um, 'cause I'm sure Ash will listen to this.

Um, uh, Ash is, was the owner of The Nambour Social, and I still remember, um, she was teaching at the time and running the cafe, and I still remember we, I went and I was like, "All right, I'll go, like, you know, chat to the local coffee shop," and I was like, "Hey, we'd love to do some coffee cards.

Um, every time we do an appraisal, we wanna somehow give back to the local community.

Yeah, interesting.

I don't think many teams have ever played Nambour at Caloundra.

There's a bit of that this year because of the whole light scenario.

They have to play under lights.

She was still imagining new things.

She died on the 8th of August, 1973, at Nambour.

She was 77 years old.

Her ashes were buried at Buderim Memorial Gardens beneath a tree.

This has been the story of Edna Walling.

Born at York, England, 1895...

Died at Nambour, Queensland, 1973.

Daughter of a practical father who taught her to look at the countryside and make things with her hands.

There might be some Kenyan out the front, and then suddenly there goes his ankle.

Here comes Bruce from Nambour.

Could happen.

Now, controversially, the Olympic shooting has been moved from Brisbane up the state to far north Queensland, where Bob Catter is expected to compete to become the oldest Olympian ever.

There's a lot of, you know, we sort of, a few years ago, about three years ago, we were saying that the number of trees that we're picking off at the moment, there's an equal number that have been planted that aren't harvesting yet.

So, you know, we're expecting a larger volume of fruit to be coming through and this year could be quite a big year as much as the flowering season from Nambour, you know, all the way to the Atherton Tablelands is a terrific flowering.

So if that converts all to fruit, then, yeah, the volume that's going to be coming out of Queensland, it could be a record crop.

But early days, early days, I'll preface that.

Well, do we want to run through the results from yesterday? Yeah, yeah, let's do that, mate.

We were at Nambour, round one.

Thank you to all those who came out.

I know Reecey was there, new addition to the club from Victoria.

It's very much appreciated, and we do feel it when we're out there.

We do notice it.

So, mate, first game was against the home team, Nambour, on the main field, which resembled a bit of a beach.

There was sand everywhere.

Yep.

And then I went through Mackay, Toowoomba, Nambour on the Sunshine Coast.

So there was quite a few different stops along the way.

Yeah.
