Highlights

This large parkland is located on the banks of Eudlo Creek and is named after the Olsen Mill, a significant piece of Sunshine Coast history. The timber industry was the means of livelihood for the early settlers, who either treated or railed large quantities of timber from the Blackall Range.

The large grassed area is circled by a 500m pathway is the old horse/ bullock paddocks for the mill , with remnant cattle holding yards located near the centre and was also the site for the Eudlo community picnic . The pathways, plantings and picnic shelter were build as a joint Council NAMTEC youth skills development program.

The peace and quiet of the parkland will certainly see you coming back again.

Afterwards
