COAST

A Hinterland Hiatus

Two things the hinterland does exceptionally well are spectacular natural surrounds (think mountain or valley views, waterfalls and walking trails) and exquisite foodie experiences. Head from the quaint town of Landsborough, through to Maleny to pick up an impressive picnic basket from local cheese experts, Maleny Food Co. Once you have your tasty treats, head for a lookout at Montville or Mapleton for an unparalleled hinterland view.
