The Buderim Forest Waterfall Walk
45 hectare of secluded oasis, hidden on the northern side of Buderim, less than a kilometre from the Buderim Village. This rainforest world boasts tall trees, ferns, babbling waterfalls, cascades and bird calls.
The area was purchased many years ago by the Council as a reserve for all of Buderim. The falls have been unofficially named “Serenity Falls”, but are widely known as the Buderim Falls.

The rugged volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains are listed on the Queensland and National heritage registers as a landscape of national importance due to their cultural significance to the area's traditional Aboriginal owners, the Gubbi Gubbi people.
Historically, this was a special meeting place where Aboriginal people gathered for ceremonies and trading, and many of their ceremonial sites are still present.
Take the 2.8-kilometre (1.7-mile) Mount Ngungun Summit walk via open forest, ferneries and rocky overhangs to the mountain's peak.
