Montville was the setting for Eleanor Dark's 1959 novel ''Lantana Lane''.〔 Montville Post Office opened by February 1910 (a receiving office had been open from 1897). Montville was predominantly a logging then farming community (dairy, citrus, avocados, pineapples and macadamia nuts) until a tourism boom which commenced during the 1970s, taking advantage of the scenic views of the Sunshine Coast and the nearby rainforest walks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Montville, Queensland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
