Buderim Forest Park is a hidden gem on the Sunshine Coast. The park covers an area of approximately 45ha with a 1300m trail winding through following Martin Creek.
The park is a subtropical rainforest with fig trees, ferns and the flowing creek. The best part of the park is Serenity Falls which can be viewed from a bridge. It is also possible to get in behind the waterfall for some great shots.
How to get there:
Located only minutes from the centre of Buderim on the Sunshine Coast. There are 2 entrances to the park:
- Behind ‘Harry’s Restaurant’ on Harry’s Lane at the bottom of Lindsay Road – this entrance has well constructed boardwalk that crosses the creek numerous times to allow access to those in wheelchairs or with prams.
- Next to Buderim White House Grand Manor on Quorn Close – closer to the waterfall.
Best time:
Best time to visit is a day or two after rain, early morning or late afternoon.
Tips:
- The non-boardwalk portion of the trail is steep in places so decent shoes are recommended.
- There is picnic areas and BBQs at both ends of the trail.
- Inspect repellent (especially just after rain) is a must!
