Buderim Historical Society — Local services in Sunshine Coast Regional

Wow!!! This is a historic little ripper! We’ve all visited the odd pioneer home back in the day during primary school excursions BUT this incredibly protected homestead is like nothing I’ve seen before. It’s immaculately well preserved, and full (I mean full) of original artefacts, objects, furnishings, clothes, shoes, tools, etc. You step thru the door and immerse yourself in a time long past … it feels as though the family has only momentarily stepped out to mind the livestock. The member of the historic society spent time telling fascinating stories of the family - even a rather unfortunate one involving the sugar boiler. You’ll garner a new found respect for just how bloody tough people and life would have been forging a new life after arriving in Australia from England. It’s a historic gem that won’t disappoint … and absolutely everyone should visit it to understand...

Have heard a lot about Buderim from my fiancee Denise Iscak as she is a born and bred Buderim girl and the family has donated items to this house, she took me to visit late last year and we were both impressed by how well it's been looked after. She knows the house real well as she spent time in it as a child playing with the owners children. The volunteers were so happy meeting her and picking up some more history from Denise. Her parents owned a farm not to far away...
