As Caloundra’s oldest bookshop, The Book Bucket – Caloundra has a story of its own. Noone remembers exactly when it first appeared, but locals recall visiting it at the top of town, “Uptown” on Bulcock St in the 1940s. Some still have the books they received shopping for their school graduation or birthday present. The store helped shape the town’s literary scene before relocating towards the new town centre, at the “Downtown” end of Bulcock Street.

With constant trade-ins, the shelves are always shifting, offering a huge range of secondhand books in excellent condition.

Regular visitors and tourists make this bookshop a ritual stop, often leaving with that unexpected read or long-lost title they didn’t think they’d find.

Drop by to trade, browse, or just wander—you’re bound to find a book (or three) that feels like it’s meant for you.
