Buderim (/ˈbʌdrəm/ BUH-drəm) is a town in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.[3] It sits on a 180-metre (590 ft) mountain which overlooks the southern Sunshine Coast communities.
The name "Buderim" is usually believed to be derived from a local Kabi Kabi Aboriginal word for the hairpin honeysuckle, (Badderam) Banksia spinulosa var. collina.[3] However, as the environment on the mountain before British occupation was one of dense rainforest not Banksia heath, the name may have come from the Yugambeh word budherahm meaning sacred or spiritual.[4]
In the 2021 census, the town of Buderim had a population of 58,956 people.[1]
