🌻❤️🧾Check out the beautiful 'zine that ex-staffer Pippa Salmon made - so creative!! Thank you so much for the support Pip - we really appreciate it!

Hey friends! Breaking my 2026 Instagram fast (let’s be honest though, I was totally checking it on my laptop anyway) because I made a zine! And I also just signed up for a big run! And I’m going to be selling these zines as a fundraiser for Outdoor Education Centre.

So, what’s the connection? Mountains, I guess?

Mittagundi is a non-for-profit outdoor education centre that runs 10-day programs for young people. As a teenager, it played a massive part in growing my love for the Australian alpine environment, and it became even more special to me when I spent a year living and volunteering there after graduating high school. I’ve seen firsthand how this incredible organisation can change the lives of young people, and I also know how crucial donations are for allowing its programs to run.

The zine I wrote is also mostly set in the mountains - hence its name, ‘Mountain Daisy’. It’s about heartbreak and adventure and grief and the beauty of friendship. What is a zine, you ask? A short, self-published art book/magazine. It’s scary to write and share something vulnerable, but it was also SO FUN to flex my creative writing muscles and I’m excited for you to read it.

And finally, the run! I’m running the 45km Mt Buller SkyRun in early December, which has a (terrifying) 2400m elevation gain. I’ve never run anything like this before and so that makes me scared too, but hey, if you’re not feeling a little bit scared every so often what are you doing?

If you’d like to support this project, you can order a zine from the link in my bio :)) They’re $20, with $15 from every sale going straight to Mittagundi and the other $5 going towards printing and postage costs. If you would like a zine but don’t have the financial means to donate, you can also purchase one at cost price ($5).

Thank you beautiful people! I’m so grateful to have a community who supports my weird creative endeavours and adventures ###

Ross McDonald is our new treasurer and skillfull multi-tasker, who when asked to make this video managed to track down a bottle of prosecco in Holbrook and spruik all things Mittagundi to everyone in the shop at the same time!

Our '26 Leaders are the dream-team!!
