Maleny sits high enough on the Sunshine Coast hinterland escarpment to experience something approximating seasons – cooler winters, the occasional frost, and in autumn, the deciduous trees planted by early settlers turning colours that you don’t associate with subtropical Queensland. A large maple at peak autumn colour in Maleny is a genuinely surprising thing to encounter.

Maleny Maple is a vertical fine art photography print of a magnificent autumn maple tree in Maleny, Sunshine Coast hinterland, Queensland. The portrait orientation was the obvious choice – the tree is defined by its height and the way the autumn colour extends from the trunk up through the branches to the outermost leaves against the sky. At this scale, the detail in the foliage is extraordinary.

For Maleny locals and Sunshine Coast hinterland visitors who know this area in autumn, this print carries an immediate personal quality. For everyone else, it’s a reminder that Queensland’s hinterland is more varied and surprising than most people expect.

Available as a fine art photographic print, stretched canvas, or glass-mounted acrylic. Custom sizing available on request.
