A noticed a new book shop just near the National Bank and I thought it was just a second hand book shop....but 'no' it is more than that...not old second novels that are not worth even picking up to look at....we have a Rare Book Shop.

But just for a light read there are a few novels on special just outside the door.

When I have a bit more time I will delve into its treasures and let you know in case you want to fly over from London or Paris or New York to have a look.You just never know....I have since met the owner/manager and she is very well read and most obliging.

Ye Olde Post Office Information

Well the old Post Office has been put to really good use on Buderim. Information is available to Visitors to the Sunshine Coast as well as the wider community.

So if you would like to know what to see or where to go call in. You can buy tickets to local concerts and plays and I have seen the volunteers help out with bus timetables.

In other words the volunteers "are a mine of information and would be glad to see you"

Hours are 10am to 4pm on week days and 10 am to 12md on Saturday

You will find the OPO on the "Hub" of Buderim where 4 roads meet. On the corner of Lindsay Road and Burnett Street.......

Living Legends of Buderim

Buderim District is all set to hail its Living Legends to celbrate Australia Day 2012.

To be invited to be a living legend one has to be born on Buderim ( well maybe conceived as Buderim Mums often had to travel to Brisbane for the birth of the babe in the pioneer days). The person must still be living in the district.

"These residents will be acknowledged, honoured and celebrated during the B150 celebrations in 2012, a year-long festival of events commemorating 150 years of unique Buderim community spirit.

The Living Legends project aims to bring together all those who were born or living on Buderim prior to the end of 1945, who still live on or near Buderim. It promises to be “bigger than Ben Hur” ".

PS Some more photos in a Buderim travelogue.

You will see the photo in front of the helium balloon...The lady is one of the most hard working members of the Buderim Community...the boy is 5th generation at Buderim school

Find more information here on the official web site

So you can guess who is a living legend and will be driving the Hudson filled with some other living legends and maybe me on Australia day? Well the extrene weather in SE Queensland put an end to the parade...but there was a concert 2012

For more photos and stories of the legends look at this travelogue

The Buderim Poem Tea towel

BUDERIM is the place to be

Between the hinterland and the SEA

A village atmosphere you will find

The LOCALS all polite and kind

Once famous for its ginger farms

Now a thriving village full of CHARM

with cafes, boutiques and walks galore,

And ocean views you will adore.

Yes, BUDERIM is the place to be,

A well-kept secret

to be enjoyed by you and ME.

ON Buderim

Old Buderim Post Office

If you are along time Buderim resident or even a pioneer citizen you could very well say "I live ON Buderim" because you do. You do live on a mountain.

Some of the streets and places are named after early Buderim inhabitants: Lindsay Road ,Feeley St
Foote Sanctuary ,Jones'Road, and Dixon Road to name a few.

The Old Post Office on the corner of Lindsay Road and the main street is the place to go for information on Buderim's history.

The Buderim Old Post Office Community Information Centre is open 6 days a week, Mon-Fri from 10am to 4pm, & Sat 10am to 1pm.

But always remember you are ON Buderim not in it.
