Maleny perches on the Blackall Range amongst rolling hills and valleys. The highest point in this spectacular region is 549 metres (1800 feet) above sea level from which a 360-degree view can be obtained to the coast, Moreton and Bribie Islands, the Glass House Mountains and other provinces.

First settled in the 1870’s, Maleny has a community of over 3,000 People with many craft and variety shops, and local artists - Maleny is a place where everyone can see the tranquillity of green hills.

The forested, dairy-farming area of Maleny abuts the unique The Glasshouse Mountains. The visual attractions of views in all directions - the Pacific Ocean, the Great Dividing Range, Moreton Bay and more - are complemented by many quiet places such as Mary Cairncross Park on Mountain View Road, Lake Baroon to the North, cosy Restaurants, a host of varied and welcoming lodgings and many art and craft places.

Maleny Comkmunity Centre - unbarred at last .....
Maleny's Centre of Community - the Maleny Community Centre, built by the community with their own money, sweat, blood and toil. It has been the genial and capable host for thousands of dances, meetings, shows, activities, classes, community groups and events.

Every community has its own version, it is something you see in every Australian community. You could say it is the "centre for community" in most Australian places where people have come together to live, work, play, hope and dream.

Its condition and patronage are accurate weathervanes for the community's vitality and robustness.
