The Rotary Club of Maleny, as Managers of the Maleny Wood Expo, has announced the postponement of the 2026 Maleny Wood Expo until Mid October 2027. This decision was made due to the current world economic uncertainty, an ongoing fuel supply issue and a lack of major event sponsorship.

Rotary Maleny will continue to manage the Maleny Wood Expo and will continue to build for a successful event next year in 2027. 👍💯

Further updates will be provided as we move forward. We would like to extend our thanks to all of those people and groups that have offered their support and look forward to the revival of this iconic event. 😊

Last Wednesday night, we had two inspirational speakers as our guests. They were Phil and Di Wilson from Flaxton, who are the recent recipients of the Sunshine Coast Australia Day Senior Citizen Award.

Talk about a deserving couple as for over 40 years they have fostered 205 children and adopted 10 children.

At times, they had up to 10 foster children in their home. So dinner times were big especially adding their own 2 children plus Phil and Di. That makes 14 at the dinner table!

The most amazing thing is how they kept such a harmonious home. The fact is both Phil and Di are incredibly calm people.

I understand from friends that at the Australia Day award ceremony, they received a standing ovation. From someone who has worked at this event for many years, she said it was the first time this had occurred.

It's official Rotary Club of Maleny has been handed the reins of the Maleny Wood Expo which will be held October 16-18 this year.

We're excited and still a bit in awe of the massive work to be done to ensure its success following 26 years of this successful event by Barung Landcare. 👌💯

Yesterday at an event held by Visit Sunshine Coast and Hinterland Tourism at Flaxton Gardens, two members of our sub-committee were present to talk with people about our upcoming Maleny Wood Expo in October this year. Scott Wassman on the left and Greg Williams on the right.

Maybe, we should have produced some Maleny Wood Expo badges or shirts for them to help promote the event!

It's been a wonderful start to the year with two fabulous guest speakers. First, we met Nic Marchesi, one of the founders and owners of Orange Sky Australia and heard his story about how he and his business partner Lucas started and where they're at now. We presented him with a donation of $4663 that was from our Rotary Golf Day where Orange Sky was one of the beneficiaries of the money made that day.

Our other guest speaker last week was the amazing Dr Ken Wishaw. A man of many talents, he became an astronomer in retirement and has taken on the task of saving our night skies. He is the man behind the Australasian Dark Sky Alliance and is championing the bid to establish a Dark Sky Reserve in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

We love having interesting people who are making a difference come along to our meetings as our members love to hear their stories and ask them questions.

We had a fantastic night on Friday night at the Maleny Christmas Street Party. Thanks to Sam for the great location as we were in the thick of it and got to chat with some wonderful friends and met scores of new people who were enjoying the festival with their families 😊🎄✨️

What perfect weather and such a happy vibe especially when Santa 🎅 popped by to check if we were naughty or nice 😉
