The Hinterland
It almost goes without saying, but the Sunshine Coast Hinterland towns of Maleny, Montville and Mapleton continue to be an endless source of adventure, no matter how many times you visit.
If you’re a first-timer, hit the country roads with this handy little day trip itinerary, starting in the small village of Eudlo for brekkie before getting zen at a Buddist retreat and stuffing your faces with candy and homegrown delights.
Veteran hinterland-trippers who can’t get enough of the fresh country air and lush surroundings, rest assured there’s still plenty to see and do once you’ve worn out the main locales.
