25.01.2022 We have been informed by some passers-by that they have seen people helping themselves to the donations that have been kindly left over the last few weeks. We would like to remind everyone that we have security cameras in place and we do check them. For those that aren’t aware, the money that is raised from our donations goes back into the Community. Therefore it is very disappointing that people are stealing from the Community. We are a very reasonably priced Op Shop, in fact, one of the cheapest you will find anywhere. Police are always notified and supplied with any security camera vision.

23.01.2022 It’s the worst sight but sadly one many of us have become all too familiar with. The small businesses in our local communities and towns, especially in regiona...l Australia, are part of the fabric of who we are. The pandemic has hurt them badly help them recover by making the choice to #golocalfirst. Find out what that means at www.golocalfirst.com.au

23.01.2022 Police are still trying to identify a lady that is at Nambour hospital ...she was found on Brandenburg Rd Kim Smith NAME OF ELDERLY WOMAN LEFT OUTSIDE COAST HOSPITAL REMAINS A MYSTERY TO POLICE AND STAFF. Police are still trying to identify an elderly woman who was left outside a Sunshine Coast hospital 10 days ago.... The woman, believed to be in her 80s, was found distressed outside Nambour General Hospital on September 6. At the time, police said she was unable to speak. Since then, the woman has begun to communicate but still hasn't said who she is or where she's from. The man who dropped her off at the hospital told police he found her near Mooloolah Valley and wanted to take her to safety. Update: Police have told the ABC this afternoon, that until the woman is formally identified they can't rule out any connections to other missing persons, including Marian Wallace, a woman in her 70s who disappeared on Bribie Island in 2014. The Vulnerable Persons Unit is investigating the elderly woman's case. She remains in a stable condition in the Sunshine Coast University Hospital.

23.01.2022 Thanks to the awesome macro photography of Leesa Beutel (a multi-talented biocontrol volunteer) we can see our little pin head sized bioagents like never before.... Their reflective shells make photography very tricky but Leesa has been able to get some good shots showing their colours and elaborate shell designs. Meet Hylaeogena jureceki, commonly called the Jewel Beetle. Bred at our biocontrol facility. It only likes to eat the Cats Claw Creeper- so is very helpful in our mission to get rid of this Weed of National Significance. Such a little hero.

21.01.2022 Nasturtiums: Nasturtiums are a great addition to the flowering plants and herbs in a garden, they self seed easily and remain dormant waiting for the start of t...he cooler weather to burst into life. The young seedlings are easy to remove and send to the compost bin, a salad or pot of soup. It is easy to get too many of them to keep them all. The nasturtium, Tropaeolum majus, is native to Peru but is found in many countries around the world. It is also known as Indian cress. The nasturtium got its common name because it produces an oil similar to watercress (Nasturtium officinale). This flower adds many shades of red, orange, yellow to your garden from autumn through to late spring. These annuals come in the long wandering varieties for around the garden and climbing over bushes/frames and in bushier types for pots and smaller places. Nasturtiums grow best in well drained soil and full sun but will grow in most soil types and tolerate some shade. Plant seeds 1-2 cm deep from early autumn where you want them to grow. When they reach maturity and start flowering, picking flowers will encourage more flowering but leave a lot of flowers for the bees to enjoy and to leave some seeds for next year. Some important points about nasturtiums great for cut flowers makes a delicious pesto immature seed pods can be used to make capers flowers and leaves add texture, flavour and colour to salads in ancient times, the leaves were eaten to prevent scurvy and made into a hair tonic attract bees and other beneficial insects to your garden make a colourful live mulch wherever there is space in the garden help keep the soil moist deters weeds from growing said to deter the cabbage moth, white flies and cucumber beetle attracts aphids away from other plants are good companions and insect repellents for broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumber, potatoes, radishes, tomatoes, zucchini very good for growing as a mulch and insect repellent under fruit trees the leaves can be infused in boiling water, cooled, strained and with a little liquid soap added, used as a spray for aphids medicinally, the leaves are said to prevent and treat colds and flu, some other viruses and measles by helping build the immune system the leaves are effective against some micro-organisms that are resistant to common antibiotics. The leaves contain a chemical called tromalyt, which acts as a natural antibiotic in the body nutritionally, nasturtium leaves are high in vitamin C, A and D and have good amounts of iron, sulphur, potassium, calcium and magnesium All parts of nasturtiums are edible: Leaves are a bit peppery, the older the leaf the stronger the flavour. Good for sandwiches, salads, soups, stews, stir fries, mixed through pasta and rice, flavouring for vinegar, juices and teas Flowers can be used for floral arrangements, salads, garnishes and for flavouring butters and oils Seed pods when immature can be pickled like capers or used in salads and mature ones kept to plant next season or roasted and ground up to use as seasoning like pepper. Don't eat large quantities of green seeds as they are high in oxalic acid. This information is just one of the profiles in my new eBook.

14.01.2022 Our Gardening Team have been at work and have lots of plants. Cassava plants are ready to go to new homes. Cassava is a long tuberous starchy root that is an essential ingredient in many Latin American and Caribbean cuisines. It is eaten mashed, added to stews, and used to make bread and chips. Cassava, also known as yuca, must be cooked or pressed before it's eaten, as it is poisonous in its raw form. Great for cakes muffins and pancakes. Tapioca Pearls or Cassava Pearls Go on line for ideas of how prepare and use.

06.01.2022 What a day we had yesterday! Tuesday 29th September was an historic day for the town of Mooloolah Valley as it saw the culmination of a lot of hard work by some very dedicated volunteers. It was the turning of the sod for the commencement of construction for the Mooloolah Community Men's Shed. Five years of blood, sweat and tears has seen this project finally start to emerge out of the ground. Attendees included MP Andrew Wallace who has been instrumental in assisting with ...the funding grant for the shed. Andrew Powell who is very eager to see the project through to completion and share in it with the local community. And of course the hard working volunteers and local community members. Construction will commence very soon so please, watch this space to see the progress as the shed comes to life!

06.01.2022 Mooloolah Men’s Shed Hello everyone and good afternoon to you all. I just wanted to bring you all up to date on what is going on with the Mooloolah Community Men’s Shed. Yesterday, Saturday 30th Jan, there was a meeting held between the Mooloolah Valley Community Association Inc. the Mooloolah Community Men’s Shed Inc. and the builder undertaking the construction of the men’s shed.... There have been a few delays due to Council needing extra things carried out on the building application and Unity Water has requested a soil test be conducted as the shed will be built over an existing sewer line. Once the engineers have conducted the soil test and Council has received all the relevant reports and information required, and they have approved everything, earthworks can then commence, the slab can be poured and within a few weeks of this all taking place, the shed can be erected. It has been a very frustrating time for all concerned and I’m sure that there are many of you that have been wondering where the shed is? And I’m sure that there are also a few wondering if this was ever going to happen! Well, it’s not that far off from getting started. We are all very eager to see this shed start to emerge from the dirt just as much as you are! Not much longer to wait now. See more

02.01.2022 What an interesting plant Nasturtium is. Our gardening girls have a variety of plants and herbs for sale. They will be at the centre Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 9.30 am till 12.00pm. A touch of beauty When it came to eating these plants, nasturtiums weren't consumed until it was taken to the East, where they were eaten and used for tea.... Nasturtium carries a mildly peppery flavor with an aroma reminiscent of mustard. For some time, it was also known as "Indian cresses" due to the similar flavor profile between nasturtium and watercress, and because they were introduced from the Americas (then known as "The Indies"). Now, they are a great way to kick up your salads, adding a brilliant punch of color. As well, more chefs around the world are using it to create absolutely stunning plates of art. Many wedding cakes now are also decorated with nasturtiums, giving them some beautiful life. Not just a pretty face Both the leaves and petals of the nasturtium plant are packed with nutrition, containing high levels of vitamin C. It has the ability to improve the immune system, tackling sore throats, coughs, and colds, as well as bacterial and fungal infections. These plants also contain high amounts of manganese, iron, flavonoids, and beta carotene. Studies have shown that the leaves also have antibiotic properties, and suggest that they are the most effective prior to flowering. Nasturtium is used in traditional medicine, treating a wide range of illnesses and conditions, such as hair loss. Add some nasturtium to your diet today, either in your food, or on it!

01.01.2022 Hi everyone, The Mooloolah Community Men's Shed Inc. will be holding their Annual General Meeting on Saturday 17th October 2020 at 1pm at the Mooloolah Community Hall. All interested parties are invited to attend on the day. Thank you and kind regards Kim Gebbie...... Secretary MCMS Inc.
