WELCOME TO MALENY – DISCOVER THE MAGIC
Where is Maleny?
Maleny is located 95 km north of Brisbane in the hinterland behind the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. It is 436 m above sea-level on the southern edge of the Blackall Range with dramatic views across to the Sunshine Coast and to the Glass House Mountains. The town attracts sculptors, painters, craftspeople and potters who provide the local galleries with their works. These are complemented by cafes, coffee lounges and restaurants. Maleny is popular with holiday makers and daytrippers. The reasons are simple. The air is cool and fresh. The views are panoramic.
