There are many popular stargazing spots across Maleny and the Hinterland where you can experience the wonder of a sky filled with stars. Brisbane Astronomical Society also has a designated observatory. Maleny Observatory is located on the Maleny Golf Club site at 15 Porters Lane, Maleny.

The Sunshine Coast Council website and the Australasian Dark Sky Alliance has more informational about stargazing in Maleny.

The Sunshine Coast Hinterland Writers Festival would like to thank Ken Wishaw and Dean Stewart for the use of images for the festival website and events.
