Getting Around & Parking

Once you arrive in Eumundi, you can get most places with a short stroll through town. If you are staying at a B&B they will provide you with a map and directions on how to get around town.

On market days, Wednesday and Saturday 52 weeks of the year, parking is at a premium.

Regulated parking is in place, so be careful not to overstay the limit otherwise you may get a parking fine!

The town has two public car parks in Napier Street and you can access these for a contribution which goes back into the town’s community groups and infrastructure development.

How the parking is connected to Experience Eumundi:

As per our constitution (found on our Community page), our 3 primary objects summarised are:

1. Supporting projects that benefit the town,
2. Promote & encourage tourism & business opportunities, and
3. Acquire & operate community activities.

Given our primary objects, we use the parking fees to enhance our community in many ways with just a few of the examples shared below.

How the parking fees contribute to our community:

• Maintenance and upkeep – we pay rent to the Sunshine Coast Council for the use of the car park and invest in the maintenance of the car park grounds, boom gates and RV stopover.
• Township infrastructure upgrades – such as the market terraces area, community notice boards and the infamous rickety bridge in Dick Caplick Park.
• Street art installations – such as the Caplick Way tunnel and refuse bins along Memorial Drive.
• Community events – such as the Eumundi School of Rock, Eumundi Christmas Extravaganza, Sunshine Sounds Festival, Curated Plate and Horizon Festival.
• Local sponsorship – sporting and community club sponsorships and fund-raising opportunities such as community spaces and youth activities.
• Local business promotion – marketing of Eumundi businesses to encourage visitors to attend the village 7-days a week.
• Volunteering funds – provides an opportunity for local community groups to raise money for their association by volunteering at the car park each Wednesday and Saturday.

History of Eumundi

Eumundi is an historic town and we are proud of our rich heritage. You will see many historic buildings as you wander around the village and the pretty little museum is a must, with plenty of fascinating artefacts and information presented to engage all ages.

The township of Eumundi came into being in 1891 with the construction of the railway line between Cooroy and Yandina. It’s main industry was timber getting and in its heyday the town boasted two saw mills. It is now a vibrant rural community situated on the Sunshine Coast, 15km inland from Noosa on the Bruce Highway. Learn more here.

Eumundi is aptly named after a local Kabi Kabi elder and warrior who open heartedly adopted an outcast. To this day, the spirit of ‘Ngumundi’ lives on in the inclusive culture of our fascinating community.

The best starting point to experience the history of Eumundi has to be – Eumundi Museum.  The friendly centre staff can give you the inside scoop on all things Eumundi and help you plan your adventure. The Centre is also the custodian of a number of historic Eumundi artifacts and collections taking you back to a simpler time. Learn how the first settlers lived and all about the indigenous culture of the area or take a trip to the old jail house. You’ll find all your looking for and a little bit more.
