Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World
Whether you are an avid
botanist, a nature-lover or simply cherish the peace and tranquility of
beautiful gardens and rolling landscapes, a visit to Maleny Botanic Gardens
& Bird World is the perfect day out.
Early
morning we headed north to Woombye to catch up with friends Stuart and Kate at Hugga
Mug Café. Hugga Mug was a cute & cosy little home away from home cafe. It's
was full of colour, love and yummy breakfast. We then headed to Maleny Gardens
and Bird World. Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World was an unforgettable
experience. The 'Jewel' of Maleny.
We enjoyed
the panorama of waterfalls, ponds and colourful plantings on three hectares of
magnificent, privately owned gardens. Positioned high on the escarpment,
uniquely landscaped layers, idyllic rainforest surroundings and the spectacular
Glasshouse Mountains backdrop create a truly unique garden.
The
Bird Aviaries are a haven for colourful birds from around the world. You get to
interact and get "up close and personal" with birds from finches to
macaws. The four walk-through aviaries
are home to over 700 native and exotic birds from around the world. Visitors
can be part of a walk-through, interactive guided tour, where they will get up
close and personal with the birds. The tours last approximately 50 minutes and
the friendly and experienced birdkeepers introduce you to our wide variety of
birds and provide you a fascinating education into what makes them truly
unique. You can sit near the waterfalls, watch, listen and photograph birds as
they alight upon you, and enjoy the awesome experience.
The
newly-refurbished café is the perfect destination for morning coffee, an
afternoon Devonshire Tea or a scenic lunch. They have a wide array of hot and
cold beverages and an ever-changing selection of freshly-made sandwiches,
pastries, dishes and snacks to suit everyone. Let the sights and the sound of
running water enchant you and provide you with an experience that you will
cherish for life.
