Take a trip back in time at Berkelouw Bookshop

At Berkelouw you’ll find everything from kid’s books to collectibles, second hand gems and brand-new bestsellers, plus a range of nifty and enticing gifts (who knew magnetic bookmarks were a thing)! Get in there and prepare to come up trumps.

Feel the presence of nature at Timbercraftsman

David Suters from Timbercraftsman, Eumundi

Stepping through the door of David Suter’s Timbercraftsman furniture and art studio, the first thing you’ll notice is the soothing aroma of all that beautiful wood.

From timber artworks with resin colours that mirror a glacial lake to bespoke, carefully crafted furniture pieces, the craftsmanship here will take your breath away.

Discover the Real McCaul

What a cracker story this place has! Having started out making his own clothes from calico bags 47 years ago, Paul McCaul, owner of the Real McCaul started expanding his repertoire for his friends before getting into leather making, and the rest, they say, is history.

Today the range is vast, spanning everything from whips to wallets, and bags to belts, all locally crafted from kangaroo and cowhide and sometimes other materials.

It’s easy to lose a few hours in here learning more about the craft.

Find magic at Apma Creations

At Apma Creations in central Eumundi, you’ll unearth the magic of ancient times from Australia’s first peoples in this Aboriginal-owned and operated art studio and gift shop.

The store sells original artworks, fabric, and accessories predominately crafted by artist Meryn Apma of the Western Arrernte tribespeople of central Australia.

Whether it’s a piece about women gathering at waterholes or Dreamtime stories, come and lose yourself in the profound stories and mythology that each piece of meticulously crafted artwork tells us.
