Discover the magic of Maleny - one of Australia's last great secrets.

This unique rural community is perched high above the Sunshine Coast with amazing views to the Glasshouse Mountains in south-east Queensland. Locals say the rolling green hills, deep pockets of rain forest and spectacular views in all directions cast a spell over Maleny. But that's only part of the story. Come unravel the mystery for yourself.

Maleny is so easy to get to, yet so far from the rat race. Whatever your taste, there's plenty to see and do. A cosmopolitan, sophisticated choice of places to eat and drink, and an abundance of award-winning local cheese, ice-cream, dairy and other produce. So don't be in a rush. Plan your visit and allow plenty of time. You won't want to leave!

The rolling green hills and magnificent backdrop of the Glasshouse Mountains and Sunshine Coast are a magnet to painters, potters, sculptors, musicians and writers. Watch them at work and take home one of their creations to treasure forever.

Time your visit right and you'll strike one of Maleny's special annual events such as the Festival of Colour or Chainsaw to Fine Furniture. For bookworms there are festivals and workshops, film buffs should check out the acclaimed Maleny Film Society showing thought-provoking movies every second Saturday.

Every road is a scenic route and driving or biking is a pleasure. However, it's worth exploring on foot, too. Venture into Mary Cairncross Park to explore a living nature museum: one of the world's great panoramas and an enchanting stroll through 50 hectares of untouched rainforest. Sail, canoe and fish on spectacular Lake Baroon or take an easy walk and maybe a swim at Gardener's Falls.

Above all...Relax! and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
