Where’s Maleny:Only 1^11 ⁄^2 hours from Brisbane and 30 minutes

from the Sunshine Coast beaches, the hinterland town of

Maleny sits high on the Blackall Range surrounded by

picturesque countryside. Spectacular panoramic views of the

Glass House Mountains and pockets of lush rainforests, just

waiting to be explored. The main street of Maleny is lined with

busy cafes, musicians busking, unique and quality arts and

crafts galleries, boutiques, antique stores and bookshops.

Where in Maleny: 15 Cloudwalk Drive.

Who plays host: Owner Joanne.

Worth visiting because: Maleny is a place to visit for a

fun-filled day or romantic weekend getaway in many of the

B&Bs and retreats. This region is known for some of the most

beautiful and memorable wedding locations in Australia. Jo Joz

Art Studio is just a couple of minutes from the centre of town,

and I welcome every visitor with a warm smile and am happy

to demonstrate my craft. Here, you will find displays of

handcrafted polymer clay buttons and fashion accessories,

personalised name brooches, hand-painted mermaid T-shirts

and tutus. I also have a little gallery exhibiting some of my

original paintings, art prints and greeting cards.

What we recommend: Button collections of Australian animals

and The Wizard of Oz. There are always new designs added to

these very special handcrafted pieces.
