The Sunshine Coast holds many beautiful natural spots, places that can escape the ever encroaching development by being too hard or too special for the bulldozers to reach.

Serenity Falls in Buderim is one of those, a small pocket of rainforest there to remind us of what the area once contained, full of biodiversity and wildlife.

This beautiful waterfall, with such an apt name, cleanses the soul and regenerates the spirit of those that venture along the path to visit this special little place.
