North of Brisbane, hidden quite well is the Buderim Forest Waterfall. As the name suggests, the falls is just outside of Buderim but needs some navigation from your smart phone to find. The signage is non-existent and without google maps you may find yourself before you find the falls.
The walk gets cooler as you move into the forest proper, and the colours becoming much darker with glimpses of vibrant reds.
You will hear the falls before seeing them and there are some nice water pools as you get closer to the major waterfall. The falls are very popular with families and teenagers making the short walk to ge to the main falls.
