Maleny ("Soul of the Sunshine Coast") is a quirky town in the Blackall Ranges overlooking the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It is known for its dairy produce and its alternative lifestyle; a town of cooperatives and social justice movements and home to artists and crafts people along with retirees. The town hosts a Bunya festival annually in remembrance of the Bunya feasts which were held by the local Nalbo and Dallambara peoples of the Gubbi Gubbi nation every third year when the Bunya trees were in fruit. These feasts ceased when settlers cut down the trees for timber and dairy farming.
