Agricultural shows are more than a great day out – they are a celebration of the people, produce, skills and traditions that help shape life across the Sunshine Coast. By turning out to support these events, locals and visitors alike help sustain regional communities, showcase local talent and keep rural heritage thriving for the next generation.
One of the first to mark on the calendar is the Maleny Agricultural Show, returning to the Maleny Showgrounds on 29&30 May. A much-loved hinterland event, it brings together classic show favourites with a lively entertainment program, including Cowgirls with Wings Trick Riding, country stars, live theatre, fireworks and all the fun of the show. The show celebrates Maleny’s people and history. Visit: malenyshowsociety.org.au.
The Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show at the Nambour Showgrounds 12-14 June celebrates our region’s agricultural heritage – since 1900. There will be competitions, exhibitions and entertainment. See where your food comes from, learn about our artisans and enjoy our performers. Visit: sunshinecoastshow.com.au. Tickets: sunshinecoastshow.com.au/tickets. ... See MoreSee Less

Australia’s charitable sector is facing an unprecedented crisis. Across the country, community organisations are closing as donations decline and demand for services rises. The recent pause in operations of local palliative care hospice Katie Rose Cottage, is just one example of the quiet tragedies unfolding in our region.
For over 7 years Hoofbeats Sanctuary Sunshine Coast has stood out for its remarkable impact. Since its inception the sanctuary has supported over 200 women and girls. An independent evaluation by the University of the Sunshine Coast found that the sanctuary’s programs produced improvements in mental health more than 10 times greater than federally funded services. Each of the 22 mental health indicators measured improved, with none missing the threshold for clinical significance.
“At Hoofbeats we’ve witnessed remarkable transformations,” said CEO Barb Blashki. “One 13yo girl, once monitored around-the-clock after a suicide attempt, returned to simply being a kid after 12 weeks with us. A woman who had been suicidal for 3 years left our program with independence, friends and a renewed sense of purpose. And another young woman, who came to Hoofbeats as her ‘last resort’ went on to study equine-assisted therapy and volunteer at the sanctuary.”
Despite its proven impact, Hoofbeats Sanctuary receives no government funding and depends entirely on donations and one-off grants. It is now facing a serious financial crisis, with new client enrolments paused and closure a real daily threat. To remain open the sanctuary needs to raise $50,000 within the next 3 months.
Support comes in many forms: sharing the sanctuary’s story, connecting with potential supporters, following on social media, or sending a kind word. Hoofbeats Sanctuary has been a lifeline for women and girls and now it is calling on the community to help ensure its survival.
Donations can be made directly to the sanctuary’s bank account or online at: hoofbeats.org.au/donate.
