High above the coastal plain of the Sunshine Coast there is a region of unparalleled beauty and interest. A centre of traditional arts and crafts . And one of the most visually spectacular parts of Australia. Wherever you look there is a feast for the eyes. In the small, pretty villages of Maleny , Montville , Kondalilla, Flaxton and Mapleton , and in the forests and bush walks there is a beauty that is unique.
Accommodation can range from camping and caravan parks, cabins, bed and breakfasts to guest houses.
The great escarpment rises nearly sheer from the plain below, and dotted along its ridge, and in the mountains behind are a multitude of sights and experiences for young and old alike. If the art and crafts are your interest, then this is the creative capital of Queensland. There are specialist galleries, with indigeneous art from other countries. But apart from the creations of man, there is the unending variety of the creations of nature. You can walk among the towering stands of virgin rainforest and magnificent local Bunya pines.
