Buderim(Serenity) Falls Circuit

Starting from Quorn Close, Buderim, this walk takes you on a circuit in the Buderim Forest Park, visiting the popular Buderim(Serenity) Falls along the way. Located along Martins Creek, the lovely set of cascades have such a tranquil feel to them that they’ve been called Serenity Falls for some time. Remember to bring your swimmers as you’ll be able to swim in the rock pools as well. You’ll be accompanied by the birdsong of catbirds and eastern whipbirds. The amenities in the area include electric BBQs and picnic tables, which makes this walk near-perfect for families. According to aboriginal lore, there were 3 sisters that were crushed by the death of their lovers, which went on a hunt and never returned. The sisters were so saddened that they simply didn’t stop crying, and the gods -that are tired by this situation- turned them into waterfalls. Shortly after, their dead lovers turned themselves into rainbows so they can be with the sisters. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
