What is the BWMCA?

Despite unprecedented growth in population and expansion of the geographical boundaries in recent years, there still exists in Buderim, a unique sense of community. In late 1945 the Australian government was vigorously encouraging small towns and settlements to erect monuments in honour of those who had fought for their country.  At the time, Buderim had a population of about 600 and the major industry was farming.  

Long before the end of the war, there was great discussion about the nature of the Buderim monument. The stakeholders did not want a cold stone statue, nor did they feel that a dedicated park or an avenue of trees was right for Buderim. Instead . . .in a moment of rare vision, it was resolved to keep Buderim a place that was worth fighting for . . . a place that would maintain the spirit of community, which had characterised Buderim during the war years.
