Hi Everyone, We are planning to go away. Does anyone know what there is to do between Kilcoy and Ipswich. (any waterfalls/walking tracks/places of interest)? and what is there to do between caboolture and gympie. We like walking tracks and waterfalls. Any free camping you know of? and if we stay at Maleny showgrounds what is there to do close to there? thanks. rocket n strop
Good area to walk around amongst the Shops....There is a great Waterfalls in the Area The locals will help you with that...Then there's Mapleton. On the way to that is Great antique shops along the way

Hi Jimbo, the shops will be good for some but when I go away I do not want to see a shop except for food. the waterfalls sound great. thanks. rocket n strop
There's a very good scenic loop drive around the escapment from Maleny with great veiws of the glass house mts, a nice park & coffee shop along the way.
There is also another very good lookout on the other side of town, only a couple of mins drive. A cheese & yogurt factory are worth a visit.
The drive accross to mapleton very scenic with another great lookout veiwing the coastal section. Montville is worth having a look around, checkout the cookoo clock shop, amazing.
Onto mapleton, pub on the corner overlooking the escarpment has good meals.
Visit the ginger factory at Yandina, try a ginger icecream,mmmmmmmmmmm.
Then of coarse, you have the GN get together at Gympie.
JC.

thanks. if we base ourselves at Maleny show grounds can we drive to Booloomba dam, conondale and kenilworth and my favourite - waterfalls for day trips? Now, I am getting excited. We are going to have a fantastic time. yep. this area wins over Toogooloowah/laidley/ipswich for now anyway. i can't wait to go now. rocket n strop
Near Kilcoy is somerset dam, Imbil has borumba dam. Blackall ranges has lots of walks, Mapleton Falls and Kondalilla Falls. Great view of the Glasshouse Mountains from Maleny in Mary Cairncross Park, and also Glasshouse Mountains is a very scenic area. From Gympie you can drive to Tin Can Bay and hand feed the dolphins. You can do a loop from Maleny-Kenilworth-Eumundi-Nambour-Mapleton and then back across the range to Maleny. Tourist bureau will have heaps of info for you, or google Blackall Ranges....have fun.....
