Walking on Redcliffe Peninsula

Walking on Redcliffe Peninsula 

What's around the corner
What's around the corner?


I took some time out from work and my chores the other day and went for a walk at Woody Point - on the Redcliffe Peninsula. In the busyness of everyday family life and work it is easy to forget your natural surroundings and what they can actually do for mental wellbeing. It is beautiful here by the sea. How lucky am I to live in a place like this!! Calm blue sea, blue skies and warm sunshine. Have you discovered this place yet?

I recently read in the local paper that a local politician for Redcliffe wanted to remove the restrictions of the Moreton Bay Marine Park… quote: ”so families can go fishing and get sand between their toes”. Now that might sound like a pleasant idea, but how about keeping the marine park now that it is well established and it provides a safe haven for fish, turtles and dugongs. AND families can get sand between their toes on the other kilometres and kilometres of other beaches that we have here; and then just leave this little corner for marine life alone? How many turtles was it that was found dead here after the recent powerboat races (which were held outside the  marine park) – 4?
I say: Please keep the marine park!
