33/366 Eumundi

Rural town in Queensland

From the early 1850s, almost all the area in the vicinity of the Eumundi district was part of three cattle runs - Canando, Yandina and North Kenilworth.

After the railway was opened from Yandina to Cooroy in 1891, there was a problem over the naming of the railway depot at the foot of the Cooroy Range. It was called Eerwah, but Railway authorities were encountering confusion with Beerwah further down the line, so the name Eumundi was chosen.

(Ngumundi or Huomundy) name of Aboriginal chieftain said to have adopted escaped convict Bracefield as his son in 1831.
