Well the Lions Park on the top of Buderim proved to be just the place for a party. You will see from the photo the grass is a bit brown at the moment but the trees are still green. The view is magnificent ...in fact this is where we watched the sun rise on New Years Day in the Year 2000.

There are places to sit...some shade and a couple of barbecues and a place for kids to play.

A little bit of history written on the plaque tells us that in 1942 the 37/52 Australian Infantry Battalion trained right here prior to leaving for active service in New Guinea.

Parking is not great if there are a few cars..

You will love the art work in this Gallery owned by Andrew and Olivia Banks featuring the work of local and interstate artists.


* high quality works
* warm, friendly, and tasteful setting
* new work continually transforms the gallery
* diverse range of established artists which includes many local artists
* custom framing

Maybe my daughters art will be on display there one day.

Every year, towards the end of January, the Ginger Factory, now located at Yandina holds a FLOWER FESTIVAL, showcasing the BEAUTIFUL GINGER & HELECONIA FLOWERS GROWING IN THEIR GARDENS.

Some of Australia’s leading garden gurus are here, and you can ask them about problems and details on growing gingers and heliconias.

There are many Ginger plants all flowering in hundreds of colours, shapes and sizes.
With ideal growing conditions in the weeks leading up to the annual festival, the quality and variety of flowering species is excellent.
I never knew there were so many different varieties of Ginger, and the flowers are very unusual and stunning!

Not only can you admire them, but there are plants and flowers for sale.

Best of all, GINGER FLOWER FESTIVAL ACTIVITIES ARE FREE, and include a full program of guest speakers, entertainment, gardening and cooking advice.

Australia Day long-weekend is when the show is on.

Just a short 20-30min drive from Yandina, or 20kms.
More on my YANDINA page.

The Buderim Ginger factory was originally located in Buderim, but it is no longer

Just a short 20kms away, now at Yandina, you will find the factory in a lovely setting.

They say,.....Come for the day, there is a Cafe and Take away meals available, delicious Ginger icecream, souvenirs, train ride and more.
In the area around Yandina, you will see paddocks of Ginger growing, it actually could be mistaken for Sugar cane.

GETTING HERE.....TAKE THE M1...(Bruce Highway) and watch and follow the signs in Yandina.

ALL TOURS & RIDES ARE UNDERCOVER, SO CAN BE DONE IN ALL WEATHER.

There is plenty for the whole family to do, and its a learning experience as well, I'm sure you will enjoy, we keep on going back!

Please check out my YANDINA page for more info.

Well ever since I was delivered from the bubble wrap and paper, folk on Buderim have been very kind. They found some little nik nacks so I could decorate my woolly coat, took countless photos, and then arranged for me to meet lots of Virtual Tourist people from the Sunshine Coast.
There was even a roving shepherd to help mind me.

So if you are looking to meet friendly local folk come up to Buderim Mountain.

There are a number of beautiful walks. First there is the charming Foote Santuary walk.
A little bit tricky to find but ask a local or call in to the old Post Office for directions.

Another rainforest walk leads form near Harry's Restaurant(bottom Lindsay Road) to the top of Buderim in Quorn Close. From here you can easily find Buderim Village.

And last but not least follow what is left of the old tramway track.

You can find this charming walk hidden away between Buderim and Forest Glen. The track is built on the right -of-way of the tramway as it descends through the rainforest to the base of Buderim Mountain. Major highways now block the rest of the original track to Palmwoods.
The journey of the walk is 1600m return.
In its heyday, 1914 to 1935 the tram ( pulled by a Krauss locomotive ) brought visitors from Brisbane via Palmwoods to Buderim Mountain.

To find the walk first locate Mons Road , Buderim then note where Mons Road joins Telco Road. By car easy or a bit of a walk.

Restoration has just been completed on the Krauss locomotive that pulled the Buderim tram between Palmwoods and Buderim. (May 2010) The first tram ran in 1914 and the last in 1935.
The engine is presently hidden away on private property .

If you are an engine buff contact me to help arrange a viewing.

But I will update this tip when the tram has been relocated to a special place on Buderim Mountain for all to see.

David(wisedancer) has a number of photos of early Buderim such as this one.
