Redcliffe peninsula - Gateway to Moreton Bay

Redcliffe is a popular location for residents of Brisbane seeking a place to relax at its sandy beaches and café strip and hotels on Redcliffe Parade, through the CBD.

Redcliffe is the first European settlement in Queensland, first visited by Matthew Flinders on 17 July 1799. Explorer John Oxley recommended "Red Cliffs Point" – named after the red-coloured cliffs visible from Moreton Bay – to the Governor Thomas Brisbane as the site of a penal colony. He and Settlement Commandant Lieutenant Miller, with a crew and 29 convicts, sailed on the Amity from Sydney and arrived at Redcliffe on 13 September 1824.

In September each year, Redcliffe celebrates its history as Queensland's first European settlement location with the First Settlement Festival. This festival is chiefly held in the Redcliffe CBD.

The construction of the 2.8 kilometre Hornibrook Highway, which officially opened on Friday, October 4, 1935, allowed more and more people to experience the magic of Redcliffe. The bridge meant Redcliffe was no longer considered isolated - and this resulted in significant population increases across the city.

The City of Redcliffe is home to approximately 50,000 people and is located 35 minutes north of Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane. The city contains the suburbs of Redcliffe, Clontarf, Scarborough, Woody Point, Rothwell, Kippa-Ring and Margate. Situated on a peninsula, the city is only 37 square kilometres in area and the lifestyle is relaxed with a distinct focus on leisure and recreation. The mix of golden sandy beaches and picturesque foreshore parks makes Redcliffe a popular destination to experience the best nature has to offer.

Attractions  - Suttons Beach, Redcliffe Jetty, Settlement Cove Lagoon, Redcliffe Museum, Redcliffe Botanic Gardens and Redcliffe Showgrounds are all within the suburb of Redcliffe.
