Witta Tennis News

Nambour Nailers played their best team to contest an always close encounter with Witta Wompoos on Sunday in the Sunshine Coast vets competition. Intermittent wind conditions proved challenging with the home team winning the first 2 sets followed by Witta evening the score after some impressive men’s doubles combinations. After the lady’s doubles Nambour were up by one set, leaving Witta determined to commit to the chase.

Haydyn Craven had the best average for the team winning three of his four sets with Sean, Tony and Mal close behind.

The Nambour combination of Martelle and Karien proved too strong for Paula and Colleen who filled in for Witta in style. A big thank you to Colleen for completing our team and enjoying some great tennis.

Witta went down 7 sets to 5 sets at the end of an entertaining day.

Maleny 1915. - “just how things have changed11!

The first European to document Maleny was the explorer Ludwig Leichhardt who describes the area in his travel diary in 1844. The first European settlement followed in the wake of the Gympie gold rush of 1867. A track linking Maleny to Landsborough was cut in 1880.

Maleny’s first store was built by the Maleny Co-operative Dairy Association and started trading in November 1905, operated by Mr A.M. Hunt. The store was divided into 3 shops with the third store occupied by Maleny's first E.S. & A. Bank

In 1912, the former Landsborough Shire Council was formed by the subdivision of the Caboolture Shire. The new local government authority included the towns of Landsborough, Maleny, Beerburrum and Caloundra. The new Council met in ‘Dyer's hall’ (located at this time behind the Mellum Club Hotel, later moved to a site adjacent to the hotel in Cribb Street) until the following year when a shire of Maleny was a timber town until the early 1920s and then went on to become the centre of dairy production and fruit growing. The name Maleny is probably derived from the parish name, which in turn is possibly derived from the Scottish place name Malleny, a historic house and garden in the Midlothian village of the same name.

Maleny Baptist Church opened in July 1914 and the Maleny Township State School opened on 22 April 1913. Then In 1915 its name was changed to Maleny State School.
