A Buderim Bus looks like this 617

Well you are in luck. If you do not have a car there is a new bus route for you from the Sunshine Plaza (Maroochydore to Buderim and on to the University) It seems as if it runs 7 days a week.

There is plenty of action at the Sunshine Plaza bus stop so someone there should know a bit about this service. Bus No 617
