Maleny Show now on film

The Maleny Show has just passed 100 years of tradition and through wars, droughts and floods, this grand tradition has continued for a century. It has been an an event that survived and thrived over that time.

The film preserves an essential part of our Sunshine Coast heritage through the stories of these volunteers and captures the smells, sounds and sights of show time. It shares the stories and memories of many people closely involved with the show over the years including members of the Corkin and Hankinson families, Winston Johnston, Ed Lawley, Monica Skerman and Lois White.

From the excitement of the wood chop to prized cattle and champion sponge cakes or marmalades that used secret family recipes,

Now, the Maleny Show is one of Queensland’s proudest regional traditions. And those who made it great, feature in a special documentary film.

The film is an initiative of the Sunshine Coast Council Arts and Heritage Levy program.
