    Default Maleny Wood Expo - Sat 29th, Sun 30th Apr & Mon 1st May 2017 - Wish I could be there

    Maleny Wood Expo

    Sat 29th Apr, Sun 30th Apr & Mon 1st May 2017
    Queensland Labour Day
    Long Weekend

    Maleny Wood Expo 2017

    Started in 1996, the Expo was the brainchild of Queensland ranger and passionate Landcare supporter, Ashley Sewell. Designed to promote sustainable use of our beautiful native timbers through the work of local and regional wood artisans the Expo is now recognised as one of the best wood shows in Australia.

    We invite you to join us for three days of clean country family fun at the beautiful Maleny Showgrounds.

    View the amazing range of lovingly crafted timber products, and meet and talk to the craftsmen and women who’ve created them. With work by furniture-makers and toy-makers, musical instrument-makers and box-makers, whittlers, carvers and everything in-between, there’s something to suit every taste and budget.

    Glimpse the skills of the timber cutters who ‘opened up’ the region, and catch up with the very best in both hand-crafted traditional and high tech tools.

    Smell the distinctive spicy aroma of newly milled timber and watch live demos of chainsaws, woodworking, trade tools and more.

    Shame we can't be there this year, stuck at home.

    We were there 2 years ago, arriving there via a very circuitous route from Woodford because of the road closures caused by the heavy rains.

    Oh well, maybe next year.

    Sorry I missed that one due to rain. I would like to think we have had enough rain already this year so hopefully a good one this year that's warm and sunny

    What is accommodation in the region like that weekend? It's too far from the goldie to do as a day trip but easily done from anywhere on the sunny coast.

    I've stayed at a couple of caravan parks camping and in cabins plus a couple of hotels. These days I camp at the Showgrounds that is fine for the exhibitors and helpers

    There should be lots available. Check out stayz.com.au you should be able to find something close by very easily.

    I'm going to be there. I already have my tickets for 2 days. I have booked one of the kids into the stool making session on Sunday so I will either go Saturday and Sunday or Sunday and Monday. This is a great show and one not to miss. It isn't overly commercial and there is lots to see and do. Of course, you end up chatting most of the time with like-minded people which chews through the time...or maybe that's just me.
