Eumundi is a town that I remember visiting on a couple of occasions in the past few years. However, until recently it is a town that I had used as a quick stop to grab a bite to eat and not much more. So I was glad to get a chance to take a little walk along the main street and have a little closer look at the town.
Located towards the northern end of the Sunshine Coast, Eumundi is located just 15 minutes from Noosaville. It makes for a great morning or afternoon outing while staying in the Noosaville area, which is exactly how I came to visit this time. It is also a great spot for markets if you happen to be in the area on a Wednesday or Saturday.
Walking Eumundi
Eumundi is a great spot for a walk as everything is all within a reasonably small area. The main street, Memorial Drive has everything in an area of around 350m. While the street does have a small incline it is something most people should be able to handle.
There are a few different cafes and restaurants as well as two pubs that I could see. In the past, I have headed to the bakery for a pie which has been quite tasty from memory. But on this visit, I was more looking for a coffee.
Eumundi Markets
For those who enjoy walking around a market, there are two days that you might want to try and get to Eumundi. The Original Eumundi Markets are on every Wednesday from 8 am – 1:30 pm and Saturday from 7 am – 2 pm.
Unfortunately, even though I know the markets are on I have still not managed to get here on the right day. But I am sure that on the right days this area is buzzing with stallholders and shoppers alike.
Coffee Stop
One of the main reasons why I was visiting Eumundi today was for a stop at Humdrum Espresso. It was on a list of cafes to try and since I was close by decided to give it a look. The spot is quite nice and they are serving up some nice coffee from Clandestino Coffee Roasters.
Other Things To See
There are a number of other spots to check out while you are in Eumundi.
The CWA Hall in Eumundi does look like it has some age. However, even with a little searching, I was unable to find out when it was built. The information might be there on the hall, but it was only after the fact that I thought to look.
The intriguing creature above is named Elsie the baby elephant. Made from recycled materials Elsie eats one thing recycled plastic bottle caps. Elsie is a symbol for Forget Me Not, a charity that helps to protect, educate and re-unite children in Nepal, Uganda and India with their families.
There is, of course, something for the children as well. Dick Caplick Park is just one park that I saw, but there is also plenty of open space parks like the one below.
Visit Eumundi
If you happen to be on the northern end of the Sunshine Coast why not go for a visit to Eumundi. Whether you are visiting for the markets on Wednesday or Saturday, or just to take a look around the town on a quieter day. I would love to hear about your time in Eumundi just leave a comment below.
