Maleny
Maleny is a small town with a big heart, situated in subtropical Queensland, Australia. Only 25 minutes from the world-class beaches of the Sunshine Coast and an hour from Brisbane, the town is the service hub of the area, providing a full range of medical, social and entertainment facilities, a strong community spirit, enterprising and award winning businesses, and friendly locals. The town has a strong local-based economy and also attracts tourists who appreciate the spectacular views, quality arts and crafts, excellent shopping and variety of eateries.
The town is in the Blackall Range behind the Sunshine Coast, and is generally a couple of degrees cooler than on the coastal strip or in the valleys behind the Range. The rich volcanic soil, subtropical climate and reliable seasonal rainfall make it a gardener's dream location.
