To Market, To Market...

The Eumundi Market has quite a reputation so we decided to go and have a look. Heading the advice to "go early", we got there just after 8.00 when the market officially opened. We were astounded to discover that hundreds of people were there already but it didn't seem to matter as we were parked quickly and were off to the market.


Wandering around the Eumundi Market
The market was the usual array of things that you see at these sorts of markets; the weird, the wonderful, some really good artwork and handcrafts, some very dubious work, cheap Chinese imports and, of course, food. After a couple of hours wandering around, we had seen it all and left. It was then that we discovered why you needed to come early - the car parks were full and cars were queued for at least half a kilometre waiting to get in.

Time to leave...and cars in the car park as far as the eye could see...
...and out on the road too...waiting to get in
From Eumundi we went for a short drive out through Pomona to Boreen Point on Lake Cootharaba before heading back to Noosa. After lunch we went and sat by the pool for the afternoon.
