Buderim
Buderim is perched on a plateau overlooking Mooloolaba and offers a range of accommodation, specialising in B&Bs. There are excellent views to the sparkling Pacific Ocean from the Buderim Lions Club Lookout Reserve, and White’s Lookout gives glimpses of the sea.
A reminder of the early farming days on the mountain - and well worth a visit - is the National Trust-listed Pioneer Cottage in Ballinger Crescent, dating from about 1875. For a relaxing walk through some of the rainforest that once clothed the mountain, visit the Foote Sanctuary off Park St or Buderim Forest Park in Quorn Close, where cool mountain waterholes and flowing falls are within easy reach. Look for the Edna Walling Memorial Garden, a tribute to this influential Australian gardener.
