Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Bribie Island is fairly flat, has many beaches, and it doesn't take more than 15 minutes to get to anywhere. It is very popular for its relaxed and peaceful lifestyle. It is quite easy to be self sufficient as all the facilities of modern living are here. It is only a half hour drive to the train station linking Brisbane and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts. There is a bridge which provides vehicle and walking access to the mainland.

We are spoilt having 2 quality golf clubs on the island. Our local golf course, Pacific Harbour Golf & Country Club offers excellent facilities as well as a very attractive and challenging course. There are also several bowls clubs, a surf club, and Services club - all of which offer dining and other facilities.

The weather is pleasant all year round with summer breezes usually keeping the temperature about 28 - 30 degrees celsius during the day, while in winter the temperature usually ranges 18 - 23 degrees celsius. You will see beautiful blue skies, golden sandy beaches, boats, and wildlife.
