People really enjoyed the skill, noise, taste and smell of Maleny's Wood Expo.
Whether it was the howl of chainsaws (always a drawcard) or the taste of local, freshly brewed coffee, the expo, on Saturday and Sunday, was its usual colourful presentation.
Barung Landcare's large display tent with its army of volunteers was kept busy answering queries and selling trees and shrubs.
With the smell of coffee, camphor laurel and chainsaw oil, it was a heady occasion.
Road Closure
Obi Obi Road at Kenilworth between Coolabine and Hunsley roads has been closed for the safety of motorists after a recent landslip.

Interested side-saddlers can contact Yvonne on 5435 0426 for more information.
