Everyone knows that the Sunshine Coast is full of lovely little towns, sunny beaches and shops galore! And maybe everyone already knows about Maleny too, but I certainly didn’t.
 
 
Maleny
 
The other day I happened to be travelling up to Maleny for a concert, the location of which is best described as on top of a very big hill (in the Hinterlands).
 
I have to say, the views were absolutely, incredibly spectacular. Rolling hills full of fields and trees and ponds and green grass. Cows, horses and sheep grazing contently under a deep blue sky on a sunny day. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t been there before. Even the main street of the town was a delight, with beautiful old buildings everywhere. I was so glad I’d brought my camera, and I have to say I could have stayed there for days taking photos.
 
Yes, the drive took a while from where I live, but it was completely worth it. Even the school had the most breathtaking view from the front gate.
 
If you need something to do these uni holidays, I completely recommend heading up to Maleny and spending the day there. Take your camera. And maybe a book. And maybe some friends.
 
If you fly through Maleny pretty quickly, the equally beautiful Montville and Mapleton are close by!
 
Enjoy your holidays!
