Eumundi is a small town in the Sunshine Coast hinterland in Queensland, Australia, 21 km south-west of Noosa Heads and 118 km north of the state capital, Brisbane. It is located just off the Bruce Highway. The town is noted for its village market, held weekly in front of its railway station. Nearby towns are Yandina and Cooroy.
The town's name is believed to come from the Kabi name Ngumundi, the name of a local clan leader.[2][3] The locality's original name was Eerwah, however this was changed to avoid confusion with the nearby town of Beerwah.[4]
