Muscle on the Mountain Roared! What a day it was in Maleny last Sunday!

After consecutive years of cancellations due to wet weather and Covid, one of Maleny’s premier events, Muscle on the Mountain, roared back into the Maleny Showgrounds.

The event first started in 2013 and up to this year, had raised a whopping $80,000 already for Mens Health. The weather held on Sunday, and although a little fresh, it didn’t cool anyone off too much.

100’s of gleaming machines were proudly displayed, thrilling generations of car lovers.

The organisers sincerely thank everyone that turned out. There were just over https://www.facebook.com/muscleonthemountain

570 show cars and approximately 2900 people through the gates! A tremendous effort was needed by all to get this unique show back and running after such an extended break.

“We, the Apex Club of Maleny could not have taken it on without our supporters and sponsors, so thank you again to everyone who worked towards making this event happen again, with all proceeds going to Prostate Cancer Foundation.” Said a club spokesperson.

The Rotary Club once more stepped into their role as ace parking Ninja’s, making sure spectators were well accommodated for on the grounds.

Community groups sold food, coffee and refreshments making the day even more worthwhile for local organisations.
