History & geography

History

Town blocks were surveyed and divided in 1890. The town's name is believed to come from the Kabi name Ngumundi, the name of a local Indigenous clan leader. Prior to 1890 the town was called Eerwah after Mount Eerwah; this was changed to avoid confusion with the nearby town of Beerwah. The original Eumundi railway station opened in 1891 on Gympie Road (now Memorial Drive) opposite Gridley Street () as part of the opening of the North Coast line; it is now the site of the Eumundi Markets. The current Eumundi railway station () opened in 1988 when a deviation was built as part of the electrification of the North Coast line. St Ita's Catholic Church was originally built circa 1896 on a hilltop on the corner of Gridley Street and Crescent Street overlooking the town. A church bell was installed in 1912. In 1934 it was relocated closer to the town centre at 129 Memorial Drive (). Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd attended this church as a child (he became an Anglican later in life). The church closed circa 1976 and the building sold and is now a private home. The church bell is now in the Eumundi Museum. On Thursday 14 June 1900, 17 choice farm blocks were advertised for auction by King and King Auctioneers. A map advertising the auction stated that Eumundi Estate was 1/4 mile from Eumundi Station and the Brisbane and Gympie Railway line ran through the property. In 1906, at the Land Office in Brisbane, the Queensland Government auctioned 13 town lots in Eumundi, each of which was approximately . These were located in two groups, one near Etheridge Street and the other near Arundell Street. Eumundi Butter Factory was built in 1907, becoming the largest milk collecting building on the Sunshine Coast. The dairy mainly produced butter and cream until it was closed…
