Collections & Research

Our museum’s mission includes collecting, preserving and conserving significant objects and stories relevant to Eumundi, the surrounding districts, and the greater Sunshine Coast. We also strive to make the collection readily accessible and help build the community by involving it and sharing the ownership of Eumundi’s heritage.
The collection includes objects from the town’s first settlers; the initial industries, such as timber and dairy; the private hospitals and public ambulance service; a locally built buckboard waggon; a 1930s telephone exchange machine; maps, letters and all sorts of official, unofficial and private documents; an old church organ, an old church pew, and an old church which the museum is actually located within; and an extensive photographic collection dating from the 1880s into the current
century.
We are currently a holding place for an array of stone artefacts made by the traditional owners, the Kabi Kabi.
