Celebrate the concept of "one valley, one voice, one vision" with Mary Valley Inc, the organisation connecting the communities of the Mary Valley in South-East Queensland.
This networking organisation has forged links between the rural hinterland townships of Dagun, Amamoor, Kandanga, Kenilworth, Conondale, Crystal Waters, and Imbil.
It is re-building this website to showcase these communities through the vital sectors of tourism, business and community.
If you have visited the Mary Valley, just an hour north of Brisbane, you will have been smitten with its scenic beauty and wide open spaces through pasture land and state forest.
If you are yet to make your way into the valley, you will be amazed at the variety of outdoor activities available, such as horse riding, camping, canoe trips on Lake Borumba and the Mary River (and its tributaries including Yabba Creek), bush walking, fishing, and water skiing.
The Mary Valley provides many opportunities to sample local produce at the farm gate or through boutique wineries and cafes, and it is the home of country hospitality with B&Bs and cabin-style accommodation.
The Mary Valley is home to bellbirds and platypus and is the perfect destination to enjoy scenic lookouts and country atmosphere.
It is a place to take time. Time to have a chat. Time to appreciate the wonderful views that open up around every corner. Time to savour the taste of locally grown foods. Time to enjoy some of our country events. Time to explore the forests and be at one with nature. Time to appreciate friendly villages and towns, each with their own history and style.
Do you own a business in the Mary Valley? Would you like to feature it in our online business directory? Or perhaps you would like to take up an advertising package on this website?
