B UD ER IM WAS TH E FI R ST TOU R I S M D E STI NATION ON T H E S U N S H I N E COAST. In 1862, early settlers harvested much of Buderim’s forests to build Australia’s first cities and towns. Crops such as ginger, coffee and bananas were soon planted in the rich volcanic soils. In 1914, a small gauge railway was built to transport Buderim’s fine produce from the top of the mountain to the region’s markets and wharfs. Buderim’s remnant forests, alluring flora and fauna, and exquisite ocean vistas could no longer be kept a secret as sightseers and day trippers began to ride the produce train. By the early 1920s, Buderim was widely regarded as a resort destination. Guest houses and spa lodges had opened and tourists flocked to the mountain for rejuvenation and retreat, to bathe under crystal waterfalls and drink from natural mountain springs. A new tourism destination was born.

Buderim sugared ginger was kept in the pockets of soldiers all over the world during the first and second world war making Buderim Famous the world over.

Buderim has been Visited by royalty several times and voted by British Airways magazine as one of the world’s most desirable places

The original Aboriginal name for Buderim was Badderam - directly translated this means the honeysuckle banksia which was known to grow prolifically in the sandy flats at the base of Buderim mountain, thousands of years ago.

More millionaires live on Buderim than in Noosa Buderim is filled with notable persons and some of Australia’s most famous retirees

In 1878 the coffee grown on Buderim was awarded 1st prize at the Great Exhibition in London

The name Aquila is Latin for ‘eagle’. Aquila Retreat was powerfully designed to align with the Aquila (eagle) constellation on the celestial equator. In GrecoRoman mythology, the eagle represents the bird that carried Zeus/Jupiter’s thunderbolts. In spiritual terms, the name Aquila holds great reverence.

Aquila Retreat was the first property in Queensland to be awarded five green stars for its eco-friendly construction. Designed by an Indian architect who aligned the home to the sun, moon, stars and the meridians of the earth, using feng shui and geomancy** techniques. Aquila provides a non-toxic environment, uniquely attuned to the elemental forces of air, fire, water, earth and ether. The home has been uniquely designed to protect its inhabitants from geopathic stress and to allow energy to flow evenly and promoting an extraordinary sense of health and well-being. Indigenous elders of the Kabi Kabi group advise that the property has been spiritually blessed by Aboriginal elders past. They note the peace, tranquillity and significant abundant energy that exists here. *Mooloolaba beach was voted Australia’s fourth best beach by Trip Advisor 2019. **The art of placing or arranging buildings or other sites auspiciously.

With over 60km’s of pristine coastline and many of the world’s best beaches on our doorstep it is truly difficult to play favourites and we hope you explore the beaches we love but also find a few of your own! In Australia we identify the main area of a beach by the Surf Club located in that spot. Note that the surf club’s lifesavers designate the safe swimming zone each day with the use of red and yellow flags down by the water’s edge, not far from that beaches surf club.
