Mooloolah Valley is a quiet town that has grown from a small town of long term residents to a small town with all the amenities and new housing estates in the last 15-20 years. Also Mooloolah was a winner of the Tidy Towns cometition several years in a row.
Mooloolah is shaking off it's small town mentality of old with the more recent expansion of the town now making it almost impossible to know everyone that lives there.
The residents of Mooloolah take pride in the leafy nature of their town and the heritage structure of the railway pedestrian bridge and station buildings. The town faught hard to retain the bridge where so many other hinterland towns no longer have theirs. The town has a lot of history and was one of the stops on the old Cobb and Co. Coach route from Brisbane to Gympie. The Mooloolah River winds in and around and defines the uniqueness of the town.
The town has several parks, green spaces and even national park to boast of it's green leafy image. But it does have all the amenities that would eliminate the need to travel far.
The town is serviced by the council's mobile library, and even a fire brigage (non-rural).
Being one of the rail towns of the hinterland, this opens up transport options. But, if you still want to jump into your car, any of the Sunshine Coast (except Noosa) beaches are within 30 minutes drive, the University of the Sunshine Coast and Australia Zoo are 15 minutes away, and TAFEs are 15-30 minues drive depending on which one you want to go to.

This town has it all lge IGA, butcher, bakery, P.O, hairdresser, beautician, hardware, doctor, dentist, great kindy and school and a train station. Add to that - friendly people and beautiful properties - we love living here for the past 12mths and would recommend it to everyone!
