Yandina Markets (the Yandina Country Markets) run every Saturday morning from 6 am to 12 pm at the Yandina Sports Ground on North Street. They are known for plants, local produce and second-hand finds, and they have been going since 18 July 1990.
Yandina is a small town on the Sunshine Coast, about 90 minutes by car from the Brisbane CBD, so this is an early start for a day trip from the city. The market opens at 6 am, which suits people who want the best plants and produce before the crowd.

A long-running market
The market began on 18 July 1990. That history shows in the stalls: plants and produce first, with second-hand items and trash and treasure alongside, and deli produce added more recently.
Which hinterland market fits your weekend
Three markets in the hills behind the Sunshine Coast run on different rhythms, so it helps to match the market to the day you have free:
- Yandina Country Markets are every Saturday, 6 am to 12 pm, outdoors at the Yandina Sports Ground, with a focus on plants and local produce.
- Maleny Sunday Market is every Sunday, 8 am to 2 pm, undercover in the Maleny RSL Hall, with crafts, antiques and hot food.
- Montville Market is on the second Saturday of each month, 7:30 am to 12 pm, in and around the Montville Village Hall, with local growers and makers and a pancake breakfast.
Yandina is about 25 minutes by car from Montville and about 35 minutes from Maleny, so on the second Saturday of the month you can take in Yandina early and Montville after.
