\nWhat is it?<\/strong> A sleepy hinterland town that comes alive on the weekend with smiling visitors from near and far.<\/p>\n
Why do it?<\/strong> Because it offers stunning panoramic views up and down the coast. Here you\u2019ll find some of the best restaurant views in South East Queensland with excellent service.<\/p>\n
When to go?\u00a0 <\/strong>Midday makes for a great time to visit. The steady flow of visitors creates a great atmosphere for you to enjoy a lunch with a view followed by a stroll in the shops.<\/p>\n
Highlights: <\/strong>Mayfield Patisserie and Chocolates<\/a>, located at the top of the main street, serve up not only award-winning sausage rolls but also one of the best views too. The main street is boarded by small boutiques, galleries and an old pub perfect for the weary traveller.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Explore at the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section>

\nLocation: <\/strong>Maleny<\/p>\n
Price: Gold coin donation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nWhat is it? <\/strong>55 hectares of pristine subtropical rainforest. This living window into the past showcases what the hinterland resembled years before human settlement.<\/p>\n
Why do it?<\/strong> Because the well-maintained paths blend seamlessly into the lush surroundings here. You’ll be guided naturally through the rainforest with the chance to get up close and personal with some of its inhabitants. Red-legged pademelons reside here in small family groups and are amazingly cute.<\/p>\n
When to go?\u00a0 <\/strong>Early in the morning and late in the afternoon is when the Mary Cairncross Reserve comes alive.<\/p>\n
Highlights: <\/strong>Admiring the view of the Glass House Mountains from the observation deck above the cafe. Here you’ll get one of the best views of the Glass House Mountains available.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
