You won’t find chain hotels or busy streets here — instead, rolling green hills, volcanic soils, and pockets of ancient rainforest invite quiet exploration. The air is crisp and clean, scented with eucalyptus and wildflowers. Wander along country lanes where kangaroos graze at dusk, or picnic beside a babbling creek. Dulong is a gateway to the scenic Mary Valley and just a short drive from Mapleton Falls, Kondalilla National Park, and the vibrant market town of Nambour. This is a place to disconnect, breathe deeply, and taste farm-fresh produce at local roadside stalls. Don’t expect nightlife — do expect star‑soaked skies, friendly waves from passing utes, and the unhurried rhythm of rural Australia. Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone craving genuine solitude.",[10,13,15],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","000",{"key":14,"value":12},"Fire",{"key":16,"value":12},"Ambulance",[18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42,45],{"key":19,"value":20},"Do I need a visa?","Yes — most visitors require a visa or eTA (Electronic Travel Authority) for Australia.
