We start with an orientation loop around the Eumundi Markets on the bus, where we will highlight points of interest and ensure you know where everything is.

We then wind our way through the beautiful countryside and up the Blackall Range to a panoramic lookout with an unforgettable view over Mapleton Falls and the picturesque valley below.
