Description:

Taste the Flavours Buderim is a food lovers paradise with cafes and restaurants galore. This is our Buderim, the Village, the Mountain and the CommunitySpread across the top of the volcanic plateau and down the escarpment, the famous town on Buderim Mountain has recently celebrated 150 years of community spirit, since settlement in 1862. Buderim is in fact, the oldest established European settlement on Queensland s Sunshine Coast. Despite being only 590 feet (180m) above sea level at the highest point and technically under the official height of a mountain, the plateau has been known as Buderim Mountain from the early days. The Public School carries the full title in its name.Anyone who spends time here will see that Buderim is something special, from the busy CBD of The Buderim Village, to the secret green forest getaways which grace the slopes . . . it is not hard to understand why so many people  fall in love with this place! What sets this regional centre apart, is the thriving sense of community, driven to a large extent by the Buderim War Memorial Community Association (BWMCA).At one stage Buderim was in Queensland s top four sea-change destinations, with urban developments latching onto the name in areas never traditionally considered. To add to the confusion, the local electoral boundaries were reconfigured and the area is also known under the same name, yet it covers an area from the Sunshine Motorway to Rosemount!There is something different about our town, something which affects visitors and makes them want to be residents. Perhaps it is the tree-lined Buderim Village, the splendid views afforded to many blocks of land on the escarpment, maybe the cooler mountain air . . .Certainly there is a cultural heritage which comes with being the oldest town on the Sunshine Coast . . .  a heritage of community.Buderim Mountain is different to ordinary suburbs, not in an elitist way, but more in a caring way. This is demonstrated by the work of our unique Community Association (BWMCA) which is driven by volunteers, the remarkable commitment of the Buderim Lions Club, the heart-felt work of the Crosby family and Team Adem, the focussed enthusiasm of the Buderim Palmwoods Historic Tramway group and so many more.One thing is for sure, if you join the Buderim community, it will be great if you were involved in a community organisation, because you will set the direction for the future by whatever actions you take. Why call it Buderim ?The original inhabitant s used their Gabi Gabi language to call the plateau Baddaram (pronounced Ba-Ju-Rum) which literally means place of the Hairpin Honeysuckle Banksia .Despite a couple of derivations such as Budderum in the pioneer days, the name was adapted to be Buderim by the early white settlers. The ending of rim being preferred to rum by the temperance influences of the day. Buderim, the Coast s first town!Buderim was founded in 1860 and is the first settlement on Queensland s Sunshine Coast.  The Mountain has seen many changes from rainforest and home of indigenous people, to timber-getter s resource, farms of sugarcane, coffee, citrus, bananas and ginger . . . finally to subdivision for urban development. Discover Buderim s living history, check out the Buderim Historical Society and the Pioneer Cottage! Old and New What of the future in Buderim?Take a look at the images below, the one shows a 1920 s view of the old settlement looking across what is now Lindsay Road. Compare it to the 21st century Buderim taken from Google Earth.  Little remains of the old Buderim as unfettered residential and commercial development consumes any available space. The Little Train that helped build BuderimThe image of the Bullocks in front of the Terminus of the Buderim-Palmwoods Tramway is set near where the Buderim Swimming Pool now stands. Buderim Mountain missed out on the northbound rail line, so the pioneers decided to organise one themselves!The small guage train ran from 1914-35, carrying goods and passengers between Buderim and Palmwoods.One of the trains was saved fom scrap and lovingly restored by a group of history and rail enthusiasts.  The Historic Krauss locomotive belongs back on the Mountain, as a shared public treasure, the benefits for tourism and education are enormous. Sadly this venture has been met with obstruction and the Krauss languishes, fully restored waiting to return home. Learn about Buderim s Train and where it is now! Over the past 150+ years, the fertile slopes have served as a timber-getter s resource and then as farmland where sugarcane, bananas, citrus and even award winning coffee was grown.When the Buderim Tramway opened up the region, Buderim was seen as a resort centre for Brisbanites and Southerners from the late 1800 s up to the middle of the 20th century.A few of the original homesteads and accommodation manors are still hidden about the place, but most have long gone. Ryhope was built by pioneering family the Lindsays, the home was reportedly moved to somewhere near Toowoomba, but the the street is named in its honour. A Taste of Buderim For many decades, the name Buderim has been synonymous with Ginger.Australia s only ginger factory was set right in the heart of the Village, operating a strong and famous business, preparing and exporting ginger products across the globe.When the Ginger Factory moved away to Yandina, the premises became a very successful market with extraordinary views across the southern slopes. Finally it was sold and a controversial Woolworths shopping hub built in its place, locking away the views forever.
