Moreton Bay
Bayside
Bribie Island Surf
Only thirty minutes north of Brisbane you can escape to
Moreton Bay Bayside.
At the heart of the bayside is the Redcliffe Peninsula
home to Queensland’s first European settlement and
more recently the childhood home to the Bee Gees.
Today a thriving modern city, Redcliffe retains the charm
and beauty of days gone by, its famous jetty, a launching
pad to the wonders of Moreton Bay. Home to migrating
Humpback Whales, playful dolphins, dugong and turtles,
Moreton Bay is a playground of natural wonders.
For a family day out, picture yourself at Settlement Cove
Lagoon in Redcliffe. Ideal for children of any age, the
swimming areas feature waterfalls and slides and a huge
purpose made lagoon which is patrolled by lifeguards.
Overlooking the bay, this is a great spot for a sausage
sizzle, fish and chips or a delicious ice cream.
To the North of Redcliffe, you will discover Bribie
Island the only large Island on Moreton Bay that can be
accessed by a bridge which crosses the Pumicestone
Passage, a popular calm waterway, popular for fishing
and water sport. The Island is a fantastic holiday
destination, its many features include the beautiful sandy
eastern beach, with national park to the west, the dune
covered beach stretches 34 km along the Pacific Ocean
and can be accessed by 4WD.
With first class hotels, restaurants, and cafes, you
will find Moreton Bay Bayside the perfect holiday
destination.

2 MORETON BAY VISITORS GUIDE
BEACHMERE
The origin of the suburb name is from an early
residence owned by P. Gonney by the name of
Beachmere meaning a beach upon marshy ground.
Situated on the shoreline of Deception Bay, Beachmere
began as a sleepy fishing haven near the mouth of the
Caboolture River, but the development advance of the
last decade has embraced the township. Before the
arrival of the white man, Beachmere was of obvious
cultural and spiritual importance to local Aboriginal
tribes. Close by, a bora ring has been preserved to
maintain that bridge to the past. The ring is believed to
have been used for Aboriginal initiation ceremonies

MORETON BAY VISITORS GUIDE 3
BRIBIE ISLAND
Bribie Island is the smallest and most northerly of three
major sand islands forming the coastline sheltering
the northern part of Moreton Bay. Most of the island
is uninhabited national parand forestry plantations.
The main suburbs being Bongaree, Woorim, Bellara
and Banksia Beach. A bridge from Sandstone Point
on the mainland was completed in 1963. Bribie Island
hugs the coastline and tapers to a long spit at its most
northern point near Caloundra, and is separated from
the mainland by Pumicestone Passage. The lee side is
calm, with white sandy beaches in the south. The artist
Ian Fairweather lived on Bribie Island for many years.
The inhabitants of Bribie Island at the time they were
encountered by Matthew Flinders in H.M. colonial
sloop Norfolk in 1799 were broadly part of the ‘Kabi’
or more correctly Gubbi Gubbi people. Lieutenant
James Cook sighted the Glass House Mountains west
of the Island in 1770 while sailing up the east coast of
Australia. He called these hills the Glass Houses as the
reflections and the shape of the hills reminded him of
the glass manufacturing houses back in England. James
Cook named the area Glass House Bay and was the
first European to name this stretch of water. In 1799
Captain Matthew Flinders left Glass House Bay about
two miles east of the shore and sailed south-west
between Moreton Island and the mainland parallel to
the southern shore of Bribie Island until spotting an
opening in the low western shore.
He landed on Bribie Island unaware that it wasn’t the
mainland and met a small group of Aborigines who had
gathered on the beach. The meeting was peaceful until
one attempted to remove Flinders’ hat. Flinders refused
and returned to the boat. As they left the man who had
tried to remove Flinders’ hat threw a spear that missed
the small boat and crew. Flinders fired his musket at the
men on shore and wounded the man who had thrown
the spear. The Aborigines fled the beach. Flinders
named the southern shore and site of the confrontation
Point Skirmish. There is an area on the modern map
marked Skirmish Point but should not be confused
with the actual place of the incident which is known
as South Point. It was not until some-time later it was
determined that this was an island and the changing of
the name of the waterway between Bribie Island and
the mainland was made.
Bribie Island fortifications were constructed from
1939 to 1943 as part of the defense of South East
Queensland during the Second World War, and to
provide artillery training for Australian soldiers in HM
Bark Endeavour.

Twin Flame Retreat
DECEPTION BAY
Deception Bay is the name of a small bay in the west
of Moreton Bay, south of Pumicestone Passage and
north of the Redcliffe Peninsula. In the north of the
bay at Beachmere is where the Caboolture River and
Burpengary Creek meet the ocean. It was named in
1823 by Lt John Oxley, who thought the bay was a river
and because of his mistake and the shallowness, named
it Pumice Stone River; he later changed the name to
Deception Bay. A notable resident of Deception Bay
was Dr Joseph Bancroft, a pioneer in experimenting in
native plants for their health properties and through
his meat works, in the preservation of meat, fish and
vegetables. Local residents are proud of the contribution
the Bancroft Family made to the early development and
progress of Deception Bay. Mrs. Bancroft’s bath, on the
foreshore of the bay, can be visited
DONNYBROOK
The town name was approved by the Queensland Place
Names Board on 1 October 1975. The name appears
to be derived from a corroboree site or because of
fights amongst oyster gatherers at weekend camps.
The town started out as a small fishing community but
has since developed into a minor tourist destination.
Fishing is the most popular activity, due to its proximity
to Pumicestone Passage which opens up in Moreton
Bay to the south and Caloundra to the north. The
passage separates Bribie Island from the mainland. It is
frequented by dolphins, dugongs and turtles and parts
of it has been declared a Marine Park

The Heritage trail covers about 4 kms and can be completed in

from Manchester Royal School of Medicine in 1859 before
migrating to Brisbane in 1864 on advice the warmer climate
would improve his health. He devoted a good part of his life
to scientific research on medical problems and developed an
interest in economic botany. During WWII, Deception Bay
became an army camp for around 3,000 soldiers.

MANGO HILL / NORTH LAKES
The Corso Library and Meeting Space, North Lakes
The area was named Mango Hill on 1 September 1980,
after the mango trees lining Anzac Avenue as it passes
through the area. Although, the streets are named after
different species or breeds of birds and celestial objects.
In March 2006, the northern part of the suburb was
subdivided to form the suburb of North Lakes by the
Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Water in
February 2006. The suburb is mostly made up of newly
developed housing around the North Lakes Golf Course.
The origin of the suburb name is from the name given
to the estate development. The suburb includes an
abundance of parklands, schools and shops and currently
houses 17,000 people, with 25,000 projected by the end
of the development. There are also many new facilities in
the area, including the North Lakes Community Centre,
The Corso Library complex, Interchange, industrial
estate, and Westfield North Lakes. A cinema complex
is due for completion by end 2014, as is the state’s
first and second Costco and IKEA respectively. North

REDCLIFFE PENINSULA
Redcliffe holds the distinction of being the first
European settlement in Queensland, first visited by
Matthew Flinders on 17 July 1799. The city’s name
originates from “Red Cliff Point” named by the explorer
John Oxley. Redcliffe became Queensland’s first
colony in 1824, it was however soon abandoned for
Brisbane. Since the 1880s, Redcliffe has been a popular
seaside resort location due to its proximity to Brisbane.
Redcliffe became a pastoral district in the 1860s and
in the 1880s boomed as a seaside resort town with the
paddle-steamer Koopa making regular trips to its jetty
from 1911.The Hornibrook Bridge, completed in 1935
allowed easy access to and from Brisbane by motor car
leading the way to rapid suburban development.
Settlement Cove Lagoon, Redcliffe
In Redcliffe during the late 1950s, three young brothers
gathered around a microphone and for the first time
performed using a name now famous around the globe.
The Moreton Bay Region is where it all started for the
Bee Gees, with the group signing its first music contract
on the kitchen table of their Scarborough home.
In a letter to the Redcliffe Museum in 1999, Barry Gibb
wrote “There was the Redcliffe Speedway where stock
cars roared, and the little nats used to race that dusty
oval. The smell of the oil, the noise and the atmosphere
was incredible. This was the first public appearance
Robin, Maurice and I ever made in Australia. We sang
through the PA system and people threw money onto
the track, and we met Brisbane’s leading DJ and racing
car driver Bill Gates, who suggested we call ourselves
the BG’s and even played our songs on his radio show,
“Swinging’ Gates’ Platter Chatter”. Hence Redcliffe
became the birthplace of the Bee Gees.
