Considered Queensland's first historic national park, this island features the ruins of a colonial prison, once known as the "hell hole of the South Pacific."
What an interesting tour! The island is just a short boat trip away from Brisbane and offers a lot of surprises. The wildlife is stunning on the island. Thousands of wild wallabies and a lot of butterflies. It was really interesting to dive into the past and learn about the prison and the people that used to live on the island. A fantastic day spent with friends. Highly recommended!

The Caboolture Historical Village is situated on 4 hectares (about 12 acres) of land just north of Caboolture town centre on the old Bruce Highway. It is listed as the Number One Tourist destination in the region. The dream of preserving our local heritage started with the formation of the Caboolture Historical Society in 1959. The first building arrived 20 years later when the old Caboolture Shire Council Chambers was moved to the site. Since that time with the contribution of many volunteers and supporters, the Village has grown to be the popular destination for tourists and locals to explore the local history.
A group of friends and I visited here on Friday. What a fabulous place! Beautifully maintained and cared for by dedicated volunteers. Spotlessly clean both in the grounds and numerous facilities. Sadly, when we arrived anticipating a nice cuppa, were told that due to circumstances, the cafe would not be open as they couldn't get enough staff. Not to worry I thought, spied the 'tea room' across the way and saw a lady there. Wandered over and asked if she was open as they had a sign outside. She said "No, I'm just the cleaner, what did you want?" I said that we were looking for a cuppa before we started around the village. She asked how many of us there were, and I told her nine. " I can make you a cup of coffee or tea with some scones, I'll just get my friend to help, she's the gardener, come back in 15 mins, if I can work this microwave, we'll fix you up"... I was stunned by her lovely manner and willingness to help out. We proceeded to indulge in the yummiest scones I've ever had, with bowls of delicious plum jam and cream. It was amazing. Thank you Donna and Carmen for your warm and friendly efforts. Nothing was too much trouble. There is so much to see at the village, sadly, my old legs gave out in the heat and I didn't get to see everything, but what a fabulous day. Our group travelled back in time with the relics of the past. (some of us still remember certain things ha!) The village originally had over 300 volunteers before Covid, now there is merely just over 100, most of whom cannot work yet due to the wait time on blue cards which they now all must have! Such a shame to see them suffering with this downturn. It is such an educational place, interest at every turn. I would highly recommend it for a beaut day out. The facilities and grounds are spotless, and there is quite a bit of seating for tired bodies throughout the village.

There is a bronze statue of the Bee Gees from when they were boys growing up in Redcliffe. The statue marks the start of Bee Gees Way, a walkway dotted with photos, anecdotes and other items donated by Barry Gibb. It was opened by Barry on 14 February 2013.
This is so well put together and a great tribute to these Aussie / Queensland Boys, and so interesting to take time and just walk along and listen and read and the memories come flooding back.

Right on Brisbane’s doorstep and yet undiscovered by many is Bribie Island and it’s beautiful National Park which covers much of the Island. Only an hour from Brisbane and accessible by 4WD only, the Bribie Island National Park has a variety of camp sites, abundant wildlife, a 30km stretch of ocean beach (perfect for fishing, boating, swimming and surfing) and a rich WWII history including the relics of Fort Bribie, which marked the eastern point of the famous Brisbane Line and protected Brisbane from enemy ships and submarines. There is something for everyone.

Woody Point Jetty is a lovely walk. A fabulous place to view the islands in the bay and just take in the water calming. I think it is the biggest..widest jetty I have been on. Plenty of space for people walking, fishing and sitting for a pic-nic at the shelters they have along the jetty. There are plenty of food shops across the road to choose from for pic-nic yums. Another great spot in Redcliffe to take friends and family. Highly recommend.

A visit to the Butterfly House at Bribie Island is a wonderful experience. You can spend as long as you like and be amazed by the number and assortment of butterflies to interact with in the enclosure. You also get to learn about the life cycle of the butterfly and see different caterpillars. Kids would love this and I feel it would give them a good idea of how important it is to save our beautiful environment. How exciting to have a butterfly land on you! The volunteers here do a great job and profits are donated to charity.
