88. Montville, Sunshine Coast Hinterland. The most unique mountain village in Australia.


Listen Later

This week Lyle and I take you exploring the gorgeous Sunshine Coast hinterland area.  In particular we record live as we walk

around Montville which is an amazing little village perched right on the edge of the escarpment of the Blackhall ranges 500 metres above sea level.

We start in a secret park area full of ponds and lush vegetation.  Listen as we share just how stunning it is and you can hear all the birds singing in the background.

Next, we take you with us along this quaint main street of Montville Village. Tourists flock to this main street and We share why, including all the unique shops, cafes, galleries, that make this village so popular. 

Even the footpath gets a shout out.  I tell you about my favourite dress shop – and not just because of the clothes, but also the dressing room with no curtains.

We half-jokingly call Montville the wedding capital of the world and you will understand why after his episode.

Nothing in this little village is ordinary – in fact, most things are extraordinary – including the world-famous purpose-built wedding chapel. 

It is like nothing you have ever seen before.

I tell you about my favourite spot in the main street and why and we finally make it to the top of town (a little bit puffed) where we used to live and run a business.  We tell you all about our time here and the most beautiful beer garden we visited many times.

Finally, we wander across the road to share the most spectacular view that is Instagram famous.  Imagine every shade of green, forests, farmlands, hills, all gently rolling down all the way to the white strip of sand that lines the sparking blue Pacific Ocean – just spectacular, and you can enjoy a coffee, meal or cold drink (I mean wine obviously) while taking in the view.

Stay listening to the end when we tell you all about the incredible national parks that surround Montville and the most popular hikes that form part of Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk. 

The Sunshine Coast hinterland is one of the most popular weekend getaway spots in the country and for good reason.  Please enjoy episode 88.
