Eumundi: Memorial Drive Walk
A beautiful stroll through feature packed, historic Eumundi.
Suitability

Highlights
This walk commences at the Eumundi Train Station car park and makes its way up Memorial Drive. The local amphitheatre on the right-hand side, ticks the cultural box and features lush open green space, local sculpture works and public amenities.
The main street is a definite highlight and features a range of local goods, cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops. The famous Eumundi Markets are located on the main street and if you are lucky to time your walk with market day, you will be met with an astonishing array of local food, souvenirs, and artisanal producers. Amongst the market footprint is one of the Sunshine Coast’s best playgrounds, the perfect place to stop with a lunch or a coffee while the kids run wild!
Once past the main street quaint local homes and a sweeping view of Mt Ninderry come into view. The turnaround spot is the historic Eumundi Showgrounds.
