On the north side of Buderim Mountain, just a ten minute drive from the Sunshine Coast town of Mooroochydore, lies a tropical oasis called Buderim Forest Park.
There are two entry points to this gem of a park. We entered from Harry’s Lane, located off Lindsey Road. Harry’s Lane leads to an inviting-looking restaurant called Harry’s at Buderim but we walked past, noting its presence for another day.
Instead we walked along a windey boardwalk leading into the rainforest, through tall trees and lush ferns.
The boardwalk eventually reaches a more challenging rocky path. Then an even further challenging creek crossing.
I managed to traverse the rocky crossing with a helping hand from #3 son Jack.
There are small bridges along the way too. Easier than the rocky crossing but not as much fun.
Small falls can be seen from those small bridges.
We saw fauna, including birds, butterflies, lizards and a peacock, as well as plenty of flora in a range of vivid colours.
Small pools offer opportunities for a dip.
At the end of the path lies the beautiful Serenity Falls. You can walk along a rocky ledge for photos behind the silvery curtain of water.
Jack and I took turns for a photo opportunity.
Serenity Bridge is a high structure that provides an opportunity to view the whole falls and Martin’s Creek which feeds them.
I get why they are called ‘Serenity Falls’. The atmosphere here is serene and tranquil and a little bit magic.
