Palmwoods-Buderim Tramway

The tramway line stretched 11.6 kilometers from Palmwoods railway station through varied terrain to reach the summit of Buderim Mountain.

Operating from 1914 to 1935, this narrow-gauge railway system transported goods and passengers between Palmwoods station and Buderim, supporting local agricultural development.

The railway played an essential role in connecting communities, transporting residents to hospitals, social events, and enabling visitors from Brisbane to explore the region.

The track foundation remains visible along Mons Road, offering a 4-kilometer return walking path that demonstrates early 20th-century railway construction techniques.

The tramway used a distinct 2-foot-6-inch gauge design, featuring thirteen wagons, one passenger coach, and a guard van capable of transporting 150 passengers.
