About the Buderim Heritage Tramway Trail

The Buderim Heritage Tramway rail trail is a well-maintained, 2 km path in the Buderim region of the Sunshine Coast. The general standard of the trail is good, but care must be taken in wet weather.

This pathway follows an old, narrow-gauge tramway through bushland. It has a crushed gravel surface and is usually tackled as a down and back trip. The trail is only suitable for walkers but personal mobility vehicles could tackle the first 800m from the service road to the left of the top entrance.

Access to this trail is near the corner of Mons and Telco roads in Buderim, 2 km west of the town centre. There is parking on the eastern side of Telco Rd, opposite the trailhead. A zig zag path leads down to an information shelter and the tramway corridor, which was filled in at Telco Rd.

There is no water or toilets here or at the Telco Station site about 100 m east on Mons Rd. From the shelter it is 1100m down to the Mons Station site through a profusion of forest plants and trees. Watch for a few railway sleepers that have been left in place, major cuttings and the elaborate stormwater drains built from rocks for the tramway.
