The Original Eumundi Markets
The Basics
The markets make a popular half-day trip for travelers staying on the Sunshine Coast. While it’s not a far journey, you want plenty of free time to browse the stalls. Day tours from Brisbane often combine a morning visit to the markets with a tour of the Sunshine Coast Hinterlands, with possible activities including a rain forest walk in the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, a visit to the Ginger Factory, or a tour of Montville in the Glass House Mountains.
