Australia Day 2012 Special Significance For Buderim

Not only will the Buderim community be turning out for its Australia Day Parade this Thursday, it will be highlighting the day by celebrating Buderim’s 150th Anniversary.

Buderim’s popular Australia Day Parade was seen as the perfect opportunity to launch B150, as it has become known, with a year-long celebration of events and initiatives.

The Buderim War Memorial Community Association (BWMCA) is the organisation responsible for conceiving and planning the B150 celebrations with well-known and long-term Buderim resident Simon Whittle the driving force.

“The idea was put together by the BWMCA which then established the B150 Steering Committee, a team of dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers who have worked quietly and tirelessly behind the scenes for two years to pull it all together.” Simon Whittle said.

“We saw Buderim’s 150th Anniversary as an opportunity to reconnect with our past and define our future as a thriving community.  From a social and cultural perspective, the B150 celebrations will be geared to enhance and reinforce our pride in all those things that have been achieved to make Buderim such a special and unique community.”  ENDS
