Brisbane Region - Tourism Information
Sunshine Coast
GREATER BRISBANE REGION The region includes Brisbane city and its many urban villages, the pristine marine environment of Moreton Bay and Islands as well as the rural surrounds of the Scenic Rim and Country Valleys.
Somerset
Across the region we boast a diverse variety of experiences making Brisbane the perfect hub in southern Queensland to explore for day touring and self-drive adventures.
MORETON BAY REGION TOP 10 THINGS TO DO:
MORETON BAY
BRISBANE LOCKYER Redland VALLEY IPSWICH Logan
Don’t Miss — 1.
Enjoy fish and chips along the waterfront at Redcliffe or Bribie Island. Often it’s the simple and inexpensive things in life that are the best. Why not enjoy the region’s stunning beaches and parks as well as the ocean’s fresh seafood. Settlement Cove lagoon in Redcliffe and Bribie Island foreshores are great places for a picnic and swim. Just pack a picnic rug and remember to Slip Slop Slap if you’re in the sun.
Scenic Rim
Gold Coast
2.
Get your wheels out and bike ride or rollerblade along extensive cycle ways through the region. Whether you prefer waterfront locations or scenic parks and reserves, there are plenty of paths to choose from. Just remember to wear the right protective gear.
3.
Visit the region’s museums and art galleries for an educational and aesthetic experience. Museums range from local history collections to specialised preservations of art, antiquity and heritage. Local artists have a wealth of scenery and topics to draw on having access to beach and buy in their backyard. There is so much to learn about history and culture and so much to admire about local art.
4.
Stroll through a weekend market. The region is renowned for its many markets from the North Pine Country Market in Petrie, the Caboolture Markets at the showgrounds, to the beach front Redcliffe Jetty Markets and farmers markets on Bribie Island. There is much to look at and buy with fresh fruit and vegetables, hand-made goods, clothing, jewellery, bric-a-brac, plants, arts and crafts.
5.
One of the best things about the region is the choice of so many fishing types: Reef, beacon, rock, beach, rivers and lakes are all catered for. If you don’t own a tinnie, there is a boat hire and chartered tours available.
6.
Have you ever considered a coffee trail for something different? Try the cafes at Mt Glorious, Dayboro, Mt Mee and Woodford with the additional bonus of enjoying great scenery, fresh mountain air and specialty shops to browse. Woodford is the home of the international renowned Folk Festival and The Dreaming.
7.
Visit charming Samford Village. The quaint and picturesque village features of a mix of historical buildings, modern shops and restaurants. Part of the Pine Rivers Shire and located just west of Ferny Hills, Samford was settled in the mid-1850s and has an interesting history that can be explored at the Samford District Heritage Museum.
8.
Go skydiving and aim for Redcliffe’s beautiful Sutton’s beach. Not for the faint-hearted but good for the adrenalin action and certainly an experience to talk about. If jumping out of a perfectly good plane is not the adrenalin rush you are after, try a glider or joy flight available from the Redcliffe and Caboolture airfields.
9.
Visit Old Petrie Town at Dayboro Rd, Kurwongbah to discover and explore historical buildings, quality specialty shops, handmade gifts and crafts, a heritage restaurant and function centre.
10. Discover Redcliffe Botanic Gardens in Henzell Street, Redcliffe. The gardens are a peaceful green haven featuring rainforest, wallum heath land, herb garden and Chorizema Spring. The herb garden is extremely popular with visitors and boasts more than 500 species of culinary, medicinal, industrial and native herbs. There are shelters, seating and drinking fountains provided at various locations as well as facilities for people with a disability. Entry is free.
IPSWICH REGION HERITAGE CITY Located 40 minutes west of Brisbane, Ipswich is Queensland’s oldest provincial city and dates from the state’s earliest colonial days. Ipswich’s heritage is full of Queensland “firsts” and a series of self-guided Heritage Trail brochures has been developed to help you experience the fascinating history of Ipswich and the surrounding areas. Each Heritage Trail brochure includes an easy-to-follow map with lots of interesting historic facts and descriptions. The inner-city Heritage Trail can be explored on foot while those further out are ideal for short drives. You can complement this with a visit to our famous museums, art gallery, antique centre and historic parks. The mark of a great city is its capacity to attract and stage major events, and Ipswich is simply brimming with these. The award-winning Workshops Rail Museum organises school holiday and family programs and other events throughout the year, including the popular Witches and Wizards Steam Train ride from Brisbane to Ispwich. Celebrations of our unique heritage as Queensland’s oldest provincial city is showcased during the week-long Ipswich Heritage Week culminating with a special Heritage Faire at magnificent Woodlands of Marbug. For those looking for a shot of adrenalin in their festivities look no further than Willowbank’s Winternationals or the V8 Supercar Series at Queensland Raceway. There’s year-round entertainment at the Ipswich Civic Centre and the Ipswich Art Gallery holds special exhibitions which illustrate the city’s influence on Queensland’s social landscape. The Handmade Expo, held monthly at the Ipswich Turf Club, is a great place to check out locally handmade wares including children’s clothing, patchwork and gourmet goodies. Add to all this — • Queens Park including the Nature Centre • Outback Experience (coming in 2012)
• •
Denmark Hill Conservation Park • Canoe Trails • Bushwalking Trails 9 Bike loops around the city or the completely off-road Brassall Bikeway and much much more.
If one thing’s for certain, it’s that Ipswich will entertain all interests. Contact the Ipswich Visitor Information Centre (07 3281 0555) for your free Heritage Trail brochures.
