STOP 13 - NORTH MORETON BAY TOURIST DRIVE
balhannah Says: Stop 13 is located next door to Stop 12It is a very modern War Memorial built to remember those who have died at War. What was good to see, was recognition of the 287,000 National Service men who were called up in the line of duty between 1951 - 1972.On closer inspection of...
FIRST SETTLEMENT MEMORIAL WALL
balhannah Says: Stop 12 on the North Moreton Bay tourist drive.......Actually it is next to the Rotary Park Playground.This area is very historical.Some time around 1824, Sir Thomas Brisbane, the Governor of New South Wales, decided a site as far away from Sydney as possible should be found...
balhannah Says: Alighting from our car, I could hear lots of laughing and happiness coming from many children. Crossing the road, I found the playground where all the noise was coming from, and what a beauty it was! Located beachside and well shaded by gum trees and the odd Pandanus, it had...
NORTH MORETON BAY TOURIST DRIVE - 11

Walk along the Redcliffe Jetty
JohanIsWeg Says: Redcliffe Jetty is a rather strange construction, jutting into the bay with two pincer-like extensions providing berthing space for visiting water craft. A man-made breakwater protects the end of the jetty in a smiling semi-circle.The shaded rotunda is a convenient resting...
Discover the picturesque Settlement Cove Lagoon
JohanIsWeg Says: Settlement Cove is a picturesque little lagoon along Redcliffe Parade. Crystal clear water invite even the most reticent to enter and wade around the central island. In places, the azure waters become quite deep and allows for stroke practice.A smaller pool caters for...

JohanIsWeg Says: Scotts Point, off Whytecliffe Parade, offers reserved sunbathers the opportunity of more secluded sunbathing. Find a private spot and soak up the son. Sandbanks have been brought in to shore up the eroding beachfront, and the strip of sand is too narrow - particularly during...

The belvedere is a great hotel for a meal. Most people sit outside on the decks watching the bay which is just over the road.

Unfortunatly there is not a great deal of public tranaport avaliable in or to redcliffe BUT, if you're feelin fit then getting around once your here is not a problem. There is designated bike ways riddled through the place and a water front walkway that streaches from one point to the other (Wood Pt - Scarborough Pt). OTher wise try your luck wit an orange cab.

Redcliffe is not the biggest of shopping hubs but for those who heed the call of the sales, don't worry your only 20-30 minutes from Brisbane by car, 40 minuts by train. So go wild. There's stuff there for everyone.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Use insect repellent if you notice midges. Usually most active during dawn or dusk, but don’t take this as an absolute! Light-coloured, long sleeved protective clothing will minimise exposure to these voracious blood-suckers!
Photo Equipment: Digital camera with enough memory. A wide angle lens for panoramic vistas and a zoom lens for birding.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Swimsuit and towels for beaches and Settlement Cove Lagoon. Do not forget to slip (on a t-shirt), slop (on sunscreen) and slap (on a hat)! Some hardy rubberised soles on wet shoes will protect your feet when venturing onto rocks or shell-strewn shores.
Miscellaneous: Take cash. Too many of the small cafes either don’t have credit or Eftpos facilities or they have a minimum purchase restriction. Always carry water as a precautionary back-up.

Scarborough is the suburb north of Redcliffe. Along Landsborough Avenue, just before it turns into Fifth Avenue, is a narrow stairway leading down to a tiny secluded beach. Rust-coloured water softly laps the shell-strewn beach, with rich loamy cliffs contrasting fiercely with emerald green plants.
Wonderful colours, particularly in full sunshine! Ideal for beachcombers of those needing some solitude.

ASTIEL Says: On Good Friday each year, Redcliffe's Suttons Beach celebrates the start of the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race with a colourful beachside bash. Similar to a seaside carnival, Festival of Sails is a day of family fun. Activities include amusement rides, live music, quality...
ASTIEL Says: Through out the year the pace way is fairly quiet, home to the Wednesday night trotts, BUT twice a year the old pace way is turned into a speedway. The bikes come to town. Tones of dirt is shipped in and the flat track is transformed into a high flying moter cross track.
Before European settlement in 1824, the area now known as Redcliffe was inhabited by Aborigines who took full advantage of the foods that could be easily found in and around its waters. Due to its...
