Next time you're stuck for something to do, how about going for a drive to Eumundi - on a non-market day. Yes, there are still things to see and do in this quaint little town - without battling the crowds on a Saturday morning. Gourmet eateries, art galleries, craft shops and historical pubs line the wide main street, so there's a little something for everyone.
Dick Caplick Park, situated right in the middle of town, is a great place for a picnic underneath the towering heritage-listed fig trees and is a great place for the kids to play.
Berkelouw Books has a fantastic range of both new and secondhand books, and the cafe next door makes the best coffee and muffins in town.
But my favourite shop is Continuum, where they sell a great range of genuine antiques, vintage and retro pieces at reasonable prices. Doug and Debra travel to France and England twice a year to source a wide range of beautiful and affordable pieces and their latest shipment has just arrived from Europe. Just check out some of what's on offer:
 |
| Chinese Shipwreck Salvage Plate c1728 |

| Tales from Shakespeare c1915 |
 |
| English Boxed Set of Tea Knives c1930 |

But it you can't make the trip to Eumundi it's OK, as they have just started up their on-line store. Visit them at
www.chequeredpastantiquevintageretro.com to view their latest items. Debra also has a blog going
here. They have quite an extensive range of products and new stock is added each week. Enjoy shopping!
