Saturday morning we drove up to Eumundi to enjoy the markets. Billed as Australia's premier craft markets they have been held since 1979. Today they are a major tourist attraction, yet the little township of Eumundi has still managed to retain it's charm. There is always a magical quality to the place, and the hundreds of market stalls just add colour, conversation, aromas and music. It is easy to spend a lot of money on art work, clothes, jewellery, homewares and other ecclectic items but it's just as easy to wander around and spend very little, enjoying the taste testing of flavoured breads, roasted nuts, mini banana smoothies and spicy chutneys.
I expected to take lots of photos of colourful displays, children's clothes, fairy costumes, camels reluctantly giving rides and bright splashes of artwork depicting the local flora. Instead I took photos that captured the broader environment rather than the finer details.
