Palmwoods Open Mic Night
Thought I’d try this with the new Blues Immersion thing just starting, and noticing a few other Aussies around the JG community - anyone on the Sunshine Coast want to meet up & jam some time? I’m in the northern end of the SC. It would be pretty cool to meet and jam some blues, but really, I’m OK with playing or jamming anything. Whatever your skill level, early beginner through to pros, I’m not fussed. I’ve been playing just over 2 1/2 years.

Stop Fiddling With Font Sizes: Fluid Typography + Spacing
At our next WordPress Sunshine Coast Meetup, we’re going to look at fluid typography and spacing, and how you can spend a lot less time fiddling with font sizes. For most of my web design life, I've spent a lot of time manually adjusting font sizes and spacing. Setting up defaults, then tweaking them again when something looked off on a tablet or small laptop. Since moving to fluid typography and spacing, I set up once and barely think about it. You set a smallest and largest size once, and the browser scales everything in between. In this session I'll show you how it works and how I use it on real builds, so you can stop thinking about font sizes too.

Calamity Jane
A whip-crackin', piano-packin' musical that celebrates the wildest woman in the Wild West Welcome to the rough-and-tumble town of Deadwood, where swaggering sharpshooter Calamity Jane is mocked and admired in equal measure. Deadly with a whip or a quip, her bluster and bravado mask a longing for something deeper. This is a bold reimagining of the classic musical that features all your favourite numbers including Secret Love and The Black Hills of Dakota but this ain't Doris Day's Calamity Jane, no siree. This stripped-back staging shucks off the buckskin and digs deeper into the grit, humour and heart of the fierce frontier legend.

A Weekend of Slow Stitching in Maleny. I'll be welcoming a lovely group of stitchers to Maleny for two very special days of creativity, beautiful vintage textiles, storytelling and, of course, plenty of stitching! I've been busy gathering treasures, preparing workshop kits and planning all those little Railway Cottage touches that will make the weekend something special. Saturday 31 October – Bunting, Blooms & Buttons. A beautiful slow-stitched mini quilt filled with vintage fabrics, delicate embellishments, flowers and buttons. Sunday 1 November – Elsie's Lost Treasure Textile Journal. A gorgeous textile journal inspired by Elsie and the Railway Cottage Lost & Found Department, filled with layers of fabric, texture and stories. Both days include everything you'll need — a beautiful kit to create your project, guidance throughout the day, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. And for those making a weekend of it, we'll also have a relaxed Saturday evening Sit & Stitch, a chance to gather, chat and stitch together. Whether you're an experienced stitcher or just beginning your slow stitching journey, you're very welcome at our table. Places are filling! There are currently just a few places left at each workshop, with a maximum of 18 stitchers each day. I'd absolutely love for you to join us for one day or both! $275 for one day | $500 for both days. Maleny Community Centre, 9:30 am – 3:30 pm. Bookings are open now.

Stoicism Sunshine Coast
We do a short meditation via Buddhist Monk Professor B Alan Wallace podcast, then casually discuss our experience (optional) ADDITIONALLY Excellent Mindfulness resources here with weekly group discussion run by Corey Jackson Phd Psychology OTHER RESOURCES All Free BUDDHIST MONK 44 x 24 Min meditations Please RSVP via the Group events page link Philosophy, Current Events Discuss group in the U.S please Join Thinkers Club and RSVP there PLEASE JOIN ORLANDO STOICS VIA LINK BELOW FOR FULL WEEKLY EVENT SCHEDULE Welcome to Orlando Stoics! We are a very active group, with over 3,800 members and five meetings a week. Some meetings are held online, while others are in-person. All classes are free. What is Stoicism? It's an ancient Greek school of philosophy founded in Athens about 300 BC. The first teacher was Zeno of Citium. The school taught that virtue (the highest good) is based on knowledge, and that wise people live in harmony with nature. The school also taught tolerance and self-control. Famous Stoics were Seneca the Younger, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. We also study modern Stoics. Why Stoicism? In our world of instant gratification, constant stimulation, and endless distractions, Stoicism offers a novel perspective on life. Interested in developing an unconquerable mind? Stoicism has the answers. We also link ideas to Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Existentialism, Minimalism, and other "lived philosophy" systems. We love in-depth discussions! If you join our group, feel free to adjust the email and notification settings to suit your preferences. Since we have new meetings every week, those emails might be too much for your inbox. Feel free to turn them off (go to our meetup page, click "You're a Member", and then click group notifications). You can still check our meetup page for upcoming events whenever you want. The goals of our group: 1. We read the ancient books, plus the modern books on Stoicism. 2. We discuss Stoicism in the media, pop culture, and arts & literature. 3. We compare recurring themes in Stoicism to history, religion, and psychology. There have always been people attracted to Stoicism. It was a significant influence on Shakespeare, JD Salinger, Tom Wolfe, and Nelson Mandela. It has also attracted political and military leaders, such as Frederick the Great, President Bill Clinton, and Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, who stated that he has read Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations over 100 times. We hope you will join us. The group is open to the public and has no subscription fee. Stoicism can help you cope with life's stresses, while retaining your ethics & character. We hope to see you soon! 1209

Karen Knowles in Conversation and in Concert - celebrating 50 years of Music!
This very special album launch event at the beautiful Flaxton Gardens Sunshine Coast celebrates Karen Knowles' achievement of 50 years in the music industry. Karen started her career on television on Young Talent Time and soon after began successfully recording while still finishing high school. She became the first Australian schoolgirl to win a gold record for her hit release 'Why won't you explain', followed by other platinum and gold album releases 'You are the Reason' and 'Loves Us All'. For two consecutive years she was the highest selling female recording artist in our country and has since gone on to solidify her place in Australian music with countless appearances on all variety television programs, a two year period with the legendary Seekers and has recorded 8 studio albums and various compilations across her recording career. Karen will be joined by ABC Sunshine Coast's wonderful, well known broadcaster and presenter Sheridan Stewart for a Q&A as part of the special celebration. Following the In Conversation / Q&A with Sheridan guests will enjoy a special grazing plate (drinks also available for sale) and then at 6 pm we move into the in concert performance space within the winery area of the venue to be beautifully held to truly listen to experience Karen live in concert. This will be an event to remember! Disabled access available, contact operator for details. 313 Flaxton Dr, Flaxton, Queensland, 4560.

Plaster Mould Making and Slip Casting with Marc Sauvage (session 4 of 10)
Plaster Mouldmaking and Slip Casting runs over 10 weeks and is mainly aimed at Intermediate to Experienced clayworkers. The course covers mouldmaking and casting in greater depth than “Simple Moulds”. Initially, this course covers similar ground as the previous one, exploring a variety of drape and hump moulds as well as some of the same decorating techniques using coloured slips, clays and textures. Following this, it advances on to one-piece and 2-piece moulds, addressing the various types and use of cottles, accurate plaster-mixing ratios, mould release agents, keying surfaces for correct alignment, undercuts in found forms, and using a variety of media to create the master form. This part of the course is intensive and physical, mixing larger plaster amounts, requiring significant attention to fine detail and is therefore recommended for participants with reasonable stamina, fitness and patience. The last 2 weeks of the course is allocated for participants to create a more complex form, perhaps requiring more than 2 parts, and producing a form of their own design or choice with assistance from the tutor. The registration price of this course includes one bag of clay and one bag of plaster per student. Members - $400, Non Members - $430.

Li Cunxin with Michael Rowland
LI CUNXIN AO – THE LUCKY SON In Conversation with Michael Rowland The sequel to Mao’s Last Dancer – the highly anticipated follow up to one of the world’s most beloved books. Li Cunxin captivated the world with his unforgettable memoir, Mao’s Last Dancer – the extraordinary rags-to-riches story of how a poor peasant boy, the sixth of seven sons, was plucked from his classroom to train at the Beijing Dance Academy – a lucky ticket out of poverty, out of communist China – to become one of the world’s most acclaimed ballet dancers. Li was indeed his niang’s lucky son, and in his long-awaited sequel he reveals what happened next in this life that cheated fate, and wrestles with the blessings and responsibility of good fortune. As a celebrated artist living in the West, Li is torn between two worlds and haunted by memories of his humble beginnings in rural China and the family he was forced to leave behind, all while building his own family with his former dance partner and beloved wife, Mary. Together they choose to make Australia home, and Li reinvents himself in one brilliant career after another, as principal artist for the Australian Ballet, savvy stockbroker, bestselling author, star corporate speaker and legendary artistic director of a new-generation ballet company. Along the way, Li shares not just the story of his life in the West, but his hard-won life lessons on love, learning, leadership and legacy, and the power and possibility of dreaming big. Remarkable and inspiring, The Lucky Son is a joyous book about life, family, following your heart – and gratitude. A joyous book about gratitude, persistence and the continuing puzzle of Belonging … The Lucky Son is a reminder that the best reward isn’t applause; it’s in the recognition of how to live and how to love your people, and how you keep building and hoping, even when luck seems to run out.’ Limelight ABOUT THE AUTHOR Li Cunxin AO was born in communist China in 1961, the sixth of seven sons in a poor rural family. His life under Chairman Mao’s regime changed dramatically when, at the age of eleven, he was chosen to become a student at the Beijing Dance Academy. Li went on to become one of the finest male dancers in the world, and was principal dancer at Houston Ballet and the Australian Ballet. From 2012 until the end of 2023 he was artistic director at Queensland Ballet, and in 2025 he was awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award by the Prix de Lausanne for his outstanding contribution to the arts and dance. Li’s memoir, Mao’s Last Dancer, is one of the most successful autobiographies of all time. It was published around the world and has been adapted into a young readers’ edition, a picture book, a stage play and a major motion picture. Li lives with his wife, Mary, in Brisbane. He continues to contribute to the world of ballet and to Australia’s cultural life. MICHAEL ROWLAND – Conversation Partner Michael Rowland is one of Australia’s most seasoned and respected journalists. In his nearly 40-year career at the ABC, he specialised in covering politics, business and international affairs. Michael was a political reporter in Canberra and spent four years in Washington as a US correspondent, but he is best known for his 15-year stint as co-host of the popular ABC News Breakfast. * Book sales and signing following ‘In Conversation’ Duration: Approximately 1hour 10 mins

Are you new to the Coast? Work from home and going stir crazy? Single? Travelling through in a van? Visiting from overseas? Or just keen to meet people on the same vibe? A bit like a proper European dining table conversation, a country town dinner gathering around a long wooden table. a French l'aperitif (but common to so many cultures worldwide from Arabic to Asia and Europe.) On parle, on mange, on boit, on discute. Note rescheduled to 7 Nov. But with strupture. So far we have had a real cast of characters from all backgrounds, making convos interesting. How it works Maybe you like LPs, organic food, film, cameras, music, books, art, or old-school conversation. All of these are topics we go thru. The conversation is the event. The vibe is analog. Ie not online. Whatever that means to you. Real people. Real conversations. Phones stay in your pocket until the last 5 minutes. No screens. More human. Shy is fine. Limited English is fine.

Cocktails and mocktails if feeling fancy. Near public transport. Come along. Have a chat. Meet some interesting people. Bring a kooky friend. --- Why I started this I created this because it was the sort of group I was looking for and could not find on the Coast. The Sunshine Coast is beautiful. but sometimes it can feel like everything closes early and social life takes a bit of effort. This is a low-key, intentional social club built around conversation, activities, and meeting good people. No selling. No hidden agenda. Just a place to show up, chat, and see what grows. --- The Format Each meetup runs for 90 minutes. Arrive Order food and drinks by QR code, general chit chat. Welcome Phones away! And a quick hello from the host. Whip Around A 5–20 second introduction. Name and where you are from is enough. Conversation Starter A simple icebreaker in pairs. This week: Which actor would play the story of your life? Topic du Jour A bigger group conversation. This week: What 3 films would be your desert island choices? And why? If not film choose a book or music album. Convo Booster A surprise topic if conversations slow down. The Pitt Books, films, and things worth sharing. Guests can bring random meaningful items provided they are not selling the item. (no spruiking) Takeaways Share something you enjoyed or learned. Phones out and Vote Choose future topics and special interest groups. The group evolves with the people who come. --- Future interest groups Ideas include: Film Vintage movies, cinema nights, Strand, Pomona, or elsewhere. Culture Exchange Meet people from different countries and backgrounds. Theatre Local plays and performances. Art Painting trips, life drawing, beginner linocut, galleries. Food Special meals and local restaurants. Organic, slow food? Social Skills For anyone who finds groups, networking, or modern life a bit challenging. The possibilities are open. You decide what comes next. --- Who is welcome? You do not need special skills or clever stories. You do not need perfect English. Just bring curiosity, kindness, and manners your grandma would like. --- Three simple rules No selling This is not a sales event, dating event, political event, or fundraiser. It is simply social.

Shag Rock – Three Deep Breaths Tour
Shag Rock are back. Hibernation period is over. After stacking Australian and international tours, playing the final Splendour in the Grass Festival, and making their hometown of Brisbane wait patiently for a headline show, it was time to embrace their true loves – creating a new record and running it all back. Born in the depths of the high school band room, they found solace in letting feelings reverberate from their youth, now with over 100 million streams worldwide and an ARIA Platinum Record for their single ‘Sunbleached Girl’. Fans have since followed them for tours across New Zealand, USA, and the salt-swept beaches of Australia. But it’s been 5 years since their double record ‘Double Overhead’ was released. A fair bit of life happens in half a decade. A fair bit of growing up and having to take three deep breaths when it all gets a little overwhelming. But at the core of Shag Rock, it’s always been about being there for your friends, creating music that you love, and sharing it with all who are willing to listen. Reconnecting with their melodic roots, harmonies, and jangled guitars, their new album is a sonically experimental way of displaying fragility in vitrines, something they are all too familiar with. They have etched a special place in the hearts of Australian music-lovers and they are ready to reconnect with an album that gives back to the fans who have stayed with them for the ride. Three Deep Breaths is a mantra of resilience, their third full-length record, and the bond that ties three members together for life. Shag Rock gear up for the release of their favourite album yet and a run of heaving shows in its wake. 18 Plus. Kings Beach Tavern, 43 Burgess Street, Caloundra, QLD 4551, Australia.
