Maleny and Baroon Lake, Queensland.

Maleny is a quaint little town up the hill from the Sunshine Coast.  We spent a few hours walking the footpath, just up and down the street.  Lots of people about, many dinning at the table and chairs on the side of the foothpath.  If one happens to turn the wrong way could end up on a table in some areas.  Not wrapped in this type of dinning but of course many people are.

10 km's from Maleny is Baroon Lake which we visited.
Via Wikipedia - The Baroon Pocket Dam is an rock and earth-fill embankment dam with an un-gated spillway across the Obi Obi Creek, which is located in the South East region of Queensland, Australia. The main purpose of the dam is for potable water supply.

For me I have done the unthinkable :) showing two photos, my husband and myself at Baroon Lake.

Part of Baroon Lake.  It wasn't very pretty due to the water quality.  Apparently water skiing and other water sports are sometimes permitted, but due to water quality these activities has been suspended until further notice.

Maleny, Queensland. Australia

Maleny is a town in the Heart of the Hinterland, it's up in the hills and has that country feel to it.
The view towards Maleny is overlooking the Sunshine Coast. Queensland.
Maleny used to be a 'timber town' then progressed to farming/dairy, fruit growing and now tourism.
Population is over a 1,000 people and the hub of the town is reasonable busy for a country town.

The Police Station plus Police House converted from a house in about 1952.
