Discover our Buderim at its best! 

Spread across the top of the volcanic plateau and down the escarpment, the famous town of Buderim Mountain has just celebrated 150 years of community spirit. Buderim is in fact, the oldest established white settlement on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Anyone who spends time here will see that Buderim is a special place, from the busy CBD (known locally as Buderim Village), to the secret green forest getaways which grace the slopes . . . it is not hard to see 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). This organisation is extensively covered in this site and is represented on the other community web site of Buderim.

Why is it called “Buderim”? The original inhabitant’s used their Gabi Gabi language to call the plateau “Baddaram” (pronounced Ba Juram) which literally means “place of the Hairpin Honeysuckle Banksia”. The name was adapted to be Buderim by the early white settlers.

Buderim is most famous for Buderim Ginger but it also has a rich history on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland,  serving time as a timber-getter’s resource and farmland where bananas, citrus and even award winning coffee was grown. For decades Buderim was seen as a resort centre for Brisbanites and “Southerners” from the late 1800′s up to the middle of the 20th century.

Now the farms have succumbed to urban development and tree-felling is a long forgotten memory, yet this small town remains one of Queensland’s most desirable lifestyle centres for tourists and locals. At one stage it was in Queensland’s top four “sea-change” destinations.

Here on the 100% Buderim web site, we offer you a chance to discover the secrets, including where to take the family for a picnic, catch up with the girls over a cuppa before fashion-shopping, where to park, the places to have a wedding and so much more. There is even a Market place online where you can buy, sell and tell using our Buderim-specific online classifieds.

So, who are we? This web site and associated Buderim Directory sites are owned and operated by a Buderim family, very involved in our community and cannot get enough of the place or the people. We invite you to make the most of this Buderim web site, to gain an understanding of the special nature of our home. 

The original Buderim web site content was donated in a whole new package to the Buderim War Memorial Community Association (BWMCA) under the community domain name .

After this point Buderim Community Web Project was developed. 

This ambitious plan’s single aim is to create a combined web presence worthy of Buderim by:

• Enhancing the community-support efforts of the BWMCA
• Providing a platform for visitors, tourists and residents to discover more of this place.
• Give businesses of Buderim Village and all of Greater Buderim, an opportunity to showcase their goods and services.
• Be a place for Buderimites to communicate socially and even sell their stuff to others in the local area.

We do hope you enjoy our work and welcome your feedback.
