Buderim Falls

One Monday Nicole and I decided that as she had the day off we should try and do something a little exciting. I was vaguely aware of a nice waterfall up at Buderim, near Mooloolaba, which was accessibly and quite pretty.

So we dropped the Munchkin off at school and off we went up there. As we arrived - guess what - it started to rain.

But we didn't let that put us off, oh no! We were soon tramping down the rainforest valley, over a little bridge under which a creek cascaded promisingly and up around some eucalypt forest around the other side before seeing a great big bridge before us spanning the waterhole at the bottom of a quite impressive waterfall.

So we dawdled there for a while, took a walk down the side of the creek and so on, but the path crossed the water and was unfordable in its swollen gravid condition.

We elected to return and drive around to the other side where there was apparently a restaurant - closed as it happens - and we took a walk upstream from there along a terribly civilised boardwalk, eating our lunch before it really started to rain.

A lot.
