Congratulations to Aaron Ehrlich who has taken out the Generation Innovation 2016 People’s Choice Award.

A dozen community organisations were awarded a record total of $65,000 when Buderim Foundation presented its 2016 grants.
The grants were presented at the Foundation’s annual Good News event which this year took place in Buderim’s Memorial Hall on Sunday September 18.
The Buderim Foundation will be celebrating this Sunday afternoon, bringing together Foundation Ambassadors, Buderim families, sponsors and friends to announce this year’s annual grant recipients.
Just one month into the 2016 Swim with Humpback Whales season and already it’s looking like it will be the best yet for Sunreef Mooloolaba who offer Australia’s first Swim with Whales Experience.
“So far this season, we have had more successful swims with the whales than ever before – it seems there are more whales and calves around for this time of the season – and they seem more curious as well,” Sunreef’s Dan Hart said.
Celebrating the ex-HMAS Brisbane 11th anniversary
Sunreef Mooloolaba is doing it again – following the success of last year’s ex-HMAS Brisbane anniversary, they are doing it again. To celebrate the 11th anniversary of the scuttling of what has become Australia’s best military shipwreck, scuba divers will dive for FREE.
Buderim’s beautiful Foote Sanctuary will come alive with a mix of pop, folk, classical and choir music for a special concert on Sunday 31st July.

Sunreef Mooloolaba will officially welcome the Humpback Whales with a Whale Welcome Party this Friday at Sunreef’s new home at The Wharf Mooloolaba. Sunreef operate Australia’s first Swim with Humpback Whales Experiences and this year’s season which started on Friday 8th July is already off to a great start.
When designing great buildings, every small detail is important – all contribute to the overall aesthetics and the way a building functions.
One small detail that is often overlooked, however, is the weep holes in brick and block constructed buildings. They are vital in terms of building ventilation, but they also act as an entry point to the building for pests and even fire embers.
The Buderim Foundation’s 2016 Community Grants Program gets underway on Friday June 24. Now in its ninth consecutive year, eligible community groups benefitting the Buderim community are encouraged to apply for grants up to $10,000.
Lisa Edward, Chair of the Foundation’s Grants Committee said that this year, successful grant applicants were likely to share a total grant pool of approximately $60,000.
While more and more Australians are enjoying coffee in cafes, at home and work most of us are setting ourselves up for a coffee fail.
More than 75% of the coffee consumed in Australia is instant* and the bulk of the balance of it is mass roasted coffee which is often well past its prime consumption period before it is even purchased.
But The Bean Bag, a new coffee subscription service wants to change all that – delivering monthly or fortnightly parcels of fresh roasted artisan coffee direct to your door.
