The rainforest and waterfalls within the National Parks are truly remarkable, and well worth walking around. Also popular in the area is the Maleny Folk Festival, held during the 5 days before New Years Eve.
Back on the Glass House Mountains Road is the areas centre Nambour, with the Big Pineapple nearby. North again is Eumundi which was where Eumundi Larger used to be brewed.
