FAST FACTS

The Eumundi Country Brewhouse was awarded by the Australian Wheat Board for brewing the world’s first 100% wheat beer.

Yandina is Maroochy’s oldest surveyed township. The town was called Maroochie until it was named after a nearby cattle run - Yandina. This name was embraced by locals who rarely used the name Maroochie as they preferred the town’s original name, Native Dog Flat.
