“The Eumundi markets started 30 years ago as a very tiny little market of only three stall holders, and the takings for the day were a total of thirty dollars.”
彼得‧霍曼，優美地市集裡的老闆說道：
「Eumundi市集創始於30年前，當時只是一個僅有3個攤販的小市場，而且每天的營業總收入也只有30元。」
People from all walks of life visit this world famous market, making it one of the most popular tourist sites on the Sunshine Coast.
