Things to do in Yandina

Yandina is one of the oldest towns on the Sunshine Coast. The first cattle runs in the district were taken up in 1853, and in 1868 James Low's depot on the new road from Brisbane to the Gympie goldfields became the first post office between the two. Surveyed in 1870, Yandina was the first gazetted town in the Maroochy district, and many of its old buildings still stand along Stevens Street.

Things to do

  • The Ginger Factory: Buderim Ginger's visitor centre, with a free rainforest walk, gardens and play spaces, plus paid tours, a boat ride and a ride on a little train. Check hours before you go.

  • Stevens Street: the town's heritage streetscape.

  • Mount Ninderry: a 3 km round trip from the end of Ninderry Road to a summit with views over the coast.
