Buderim Forest Park Circuit DW S 2 B

This walk starts from near Harry’s Pocket in Buderim with morning tea together and then follows Martins Creek through the Forest Park, and on to the Buderim Tavern in the Village for lunch. This is self-funded and they have an excellent menu with good value seniors’ options which you can check out online! We return via a different route to complete the circuit at the start point from where you head home or back to your accommodation if staying on (exact address to be provided to participants later). The walk is a leisurely and more social activity incorporating some rainforest, waterfalls, floral gardens, and good company. It is the final activity in a planned three day escape to the Sunshine Coast with other events posted separately on Meetup for Wednesday and Thursday. Choose just one day’s activity or come up for 2 or 3 days and find your own overnight accommodation that suits you. The walk is about 6km with a 150m elevation gain.

Bring all the necessary day walk items as per the Club’s checklist, including adequate water, a couple of snacks just in case, and sturdy footwear. Hiking poles probably won’t be necessary, unless you require them to aid your stability. Also, a change of clothes and shoes if you are carpooling in someone else’s vehicle. Or other appropriate gear if you are staying overnight.

For safety and comfort reasons, this is a fair weather event so please regularly check the messages on the event Meetup site for any changes or other advice. I will already be up the Coast at this time, house sitting for friends in Buderim, so for those who commit to accommodation we will still do something together appropriate to the weather conditions at the time.

Carpooling from the Redlands will be directly coordinated by the leader prior to the event, and the departure time will need to be about 6am – details to be confirmed.
