Governor opens Glenferna in Maleny

Governor opens Glenferna

Rick Townsend, Desley Malone, Governor of Queensland Mr Paul de Jersey AC, Andrew Powell MP and Andrew Wallace MP

It was all action at the Maleny Pioneer Village last Saturday for the official opening of the historic Maleny farmhouse Glenferna and an open day for the village.

Both the sun and the village shined brightly when the doors were thrown open to show off what happens in the many buildings that make up the village, including the Men’s Shed and the Blacksmith’s Shop as well as in rooms at Lawley House.

The Horseless Carriage Club had a number of historical vehicles on display that received quite a few envious glances from visitors.

There were photographic displays, demonstrations, tasty treats and live musical entertainment by the Ukulele Club.

Special thanks to Marsha Kelly, official photographer on the day
