Welcome to the Mary Valley

Mary Valley Country exposed

The Mary Valley Country Marketing Committee along with dtb! Advertising have combined forces to expose the Mary Valley with all her hidden secrets.

The new brand and website www.maryvalleycountry.com.au goes live on April 30 at Kandanga Bowls Club and businesses and the community are invited to come along and share in the predicted success of the campaign.

Local businesses have been getting on board to register their websites and activities for free with the website, with the joint vision to gain exposure through links, social networking and digital media.

The website is activity focused, detailing the extent of nature based tourism on offer in the Mary Valley. Interactive brochures have been developed highlighting the best spots and operators offering everything from introductory courses to all weekend itineraries with, for example, fishing, kayaking, camping, horse riding or bushwalking.

Mary Valley Country is also offering valley businesses the opportunity to attend three free workshops in order to keep their key activities up there with the rest of Australia and get the most out of the site by improving their skills to utilise the marketing campaign.

Questions like “Why is the digital approach so important to the region?” and “How to set up your Facebook page” will be answered at the free workshops.

Participants will find out about allowing information to be easily accessed by the digital user, and most importantly how to increase their Search Engine Optimisation.

Businesses and community are invited to attend the launch at Kandanga Bowls Club on April 30 at 6pm.

“Visitors to the Sunshine Coast need to understand the Mary Valley is not that far away. We are only 40 minutes from Noosa and offer something unique to families and daytrippers wanting to get back to nature. This website is our opportunity to change all that,” project manager Lesa Bell said.

Workshops are to be held at Mary Valley State College on May 14, 28 and June 11 from 6-8pm. For further information and inquiries phone Ms Bell on 5488 6595 or 0428 193156 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

MVI working for the valley

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?
