Coolum Civic Heart
The Coolum Civic Centre continues to play its role bring people together in Coolum, hosting a large variety of community events. I had the pleasure of recently attending the Sunshine Coast Chinese Association Chinese Cultural Immersion event as part of Harmony Day celebrations.
Activities included calligraphy, Tai Chi, traditional clothing, opera and Chinese tea culture.
Coming up this month at the civic centre, the Coolum Art Collective will exhibit their latest work at their popular Easter Exhibition held across the Easter long weekend from April 7 to 10 and Sunshine Coast Malayalee Association will be showcasing Kerala culture at their Easter Celebration on the May 6.
Free mulch
Bring your ute or trailer to Sunshine Coast Council’s resource recovery centres at Nambour to get a load of mulch for free.
Autumn is a great time to give your garden some love and helps to stabilise the soil, preventing it from washing away, so pick up your free load of mulch at Cooney Road, Nambour.
Search ‘Mulch and crushed concrete sales’ at sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au for details.
