Settled in 1873, Eumundi is a small, lively but laidback town in the Noosa hinterland that has become famous for its market, as well as its art galleries, restaurants, shops, pubs and local produce.

Visit the town on Wednesday or Saturday and you will find the world famous Eumundi Markets in full swing. Famous for its catch–cry of make it, bake it, design it, sew it or grow it, the market attracts thousands of shoppers who come to wander through the walkways and inspect wares for sale at over 500 stalls.

Australia’s oldest bookseller has opened their doors on Eumundi’s main street. Occupying the historic Trading Post building, Berkelouw Book Barn and Cafe is stacked to the rafters with new and second-hand books, exhibitions of work by local artists, and serves coffee.

Call in to see work by emerging and established contemporary artists at galleries around town, shop in quirky boutiques, and pick up fair trade and environmentally friendly products.

Find a table at a café serving up local produce or head to a popular venue where popular musicians perform regularly.

Escape to a hinterland B&B in a rural homestead or Queenslander cottage. Book a room in an historic hotel located on the main street or a bed in a country guesthouse.
