Next, arrive at Montville, a mountain village known for its artisan shops, galleries, handmade fudge stalls, and local cafés. Explore cobbled streets to find vintage clothing, small-batch candles, and other local products.
Continue to Eumundi Markets, open Wednesdays and Saturdays, featuring handmade goods, slow fashion, local produce, street food, and live acoustic music. On Fridays, the tour visits Eumundi Square Market instead, with over 80 boutique shops, including fashion, gifts, food, art, and live music.
After lunch, travel to Noosa Heads for shopping on Hastings Street, beach strolls, and hiking in Noosa National Park along the Coastal Track.
