Buderim-Palmwoods Heritage Tramway
Restoring Buderim’s Railway Heritage – Walk
Buderim Tramline Walk
Take a walk through history.
The old tramway easement is full of history and is a great place for an easy and enjoyable stroll, suitable for all ages, including seniors.
Walkers love the shaded spots and conveniently placed seating along the way.
Pick up a brochure at the beginning of the track for a detailed map, or go to our email address and request a guided walk for a small donation. Our friendly guides will share fascinating stories about the community efforts in the early 1900s to establish the tramway and the impressive engineering involved in its construction over the years.
The track is approximately 2 km in length (4 km return) and will take approx 1.5 hours to complete. It is wheelchair accessible. Visitors are free to leave the group to return to the start of the track at any time.
Visitors will see evidence of the track’s construction and the several sleepers still in place after over 100 years as well as some rare native moss that is growing beside the track. The guides will also inform visitors of the plans of their group as they work to develop the track remains as a public walking track and to display the cosmetically restored original Krauss locomotive in central Buderim.
The meeting point is at the track sign “Buderim Palmwoods Heritage Tramway Walk” (see photo) at the corner of Telco Road & Mons Road, Buderim. The walk is signposted from Mons Road. Parking is available across the road from the track in Telco Road. Toilets are not available.
