There once was a train track which ran from Palmwoods to Buderim Central. You can read more about this on the Tramway History page. The original track was removed but a wonderful walk has been developed across an undeveloped section stemming from Telco Road in Buderim.

The development of the walking track has been a project of the Buderim Tramway Group and is supported by the Sunshine Coast Regional Council.

The existing Council easement is 1600m from end to end and is a wonderful stroll through the regrowth.

There are points of interest along the way and an information brochure is available at the Information Shelter at the base of the access ramp, or from the Old Post Office and other tourist sites around Buderim.

Head down Mons Road and look for Telco Road which will be on the left if you are heading away from Buderim. At the top of the road, there is a wheel-chair friendly access ramp which takes you down to the start of the walking track.
	The walk is very easy with only a gentle gradient from top to bottom. If there has been recent rain, you will get your shoes a little muddy, so appropriate footwear is a must for the walk!
There are several vantage points to view the forested slopes and you will hear many birds calling through the trees, such as whip birds and black cockatoos.
	Around 800m into the walk you will reach a cutting with a warning sign placed by the council. This signifies the current end to the restoration work. The section of the track between 800m and 1600m contains some of the more interesting vestiges of the track . . .
. . . including a section of the sleepers slowly returning to their natural state! The lower down you travel, the more open the forest becomes as the land becomes subject to relentless urban development. Please respect the privacy of those who own property through which the tramway passes.
	At one point there stands a beautiful forest of palms, growing in the sand placed from the flow of a natural waterway. Enjoy this lovely walk - if you are interested in being active in the restoration, I am sure the group would love to hear from you! See the contact people listed above.
