Redlands

All located within an hour's drive of Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the Redlands district is a convenient and diverse holiday destination. Bordered by the beautiful aquatic paradise of Moreton Bay and its islands, the region boasts glistening beaches, mountain ranges and a fascinating history.

Redlands includes the busy city suburbs of Cleveland, Capalaba, Alexandra Hills and Birkdale, where visitors will find excellent facilities and shopping. The Cleveland Bayside Markets bring the town centre alive as local artists and craftspeople sell their wares. By the sea shore, the bayside suburbs of Victoria Point and Wellington Point boast wonderful views of the water, and are the perfect place for a relaxing picnic.

The region has several national parks, including Venman's Bushland National Park in Mount Cotton. There is a variety of walking tracks through bushland, which comes alive with wildlife at dawn and dusk. Barbecue and picnic facilities are available, as well as fresh water and toilets. Nature lovers should also be sure to visit the Eprapah Environmental Centre at Victoria Point.

Along with its natural beauty, the high mountain region of Mount Cotton offers many diverse attractions for visitors to enjoy, including an award winning winery, a rainforest garden and a unique commercial herb garden and cafe.
