Long before Margate existed as a suburb, and decades before the Redcliffe Peninsula was divided into the communities locals recognise today, the name Humpybong was already in everyday use. It described a place, a moment in early settlement history, and eventually a school that would educate generations of peninsula families. Humpybong State School, now firmly…
From the Bruce Highway, it’s easy to mistake Caboolture for a place you pass through on the way to somewhere else. Step into the CBD, and the story shifts. Caboolture isn’t a detour. It’s a working heart — and it’s getting clearer where that heart now beats. By 7:30 a.m., Caboolture is already doing what…
While recent updates to Beachmere’s foreshore zones have focused on where dogs and horses can go, the changes are rooted in something less visible but deeply important: the survival of shorebirds that rely on this stretch of the Moreton Bay coastline. Understanding how these birds use the foreshore helps explain why access has been reshaped…
By early morning, Redcliffe’s foreshore is already doing what it has always done best: pulling people to the water. Walkers loop the esplanade with takeaway coffees. Kids race the path toward the lagoon. Fishermen claim a spot on the jetty before the bay turns glassy. It feels easy now — like this place was always…
Pride. Passion. Pathways.At Clontarf Beach State High School, the motto is not treated as decoration. It is used as a reference point for how students are expected to carry themselves, how teachers frame learning, and how the community measures success. Pride in effort and conduct.

It’s not widely known, but parts of today’s Pine Rivers once helped move a war.

At a time when fewer than 5,000 civilians lived across the region, an estimated 50,000 servicemen passed…
Less than an hour’s drive from Brisbane, Dayboro sits within the Moreton Bay hinterland as an easy and accessible day-trip destination. Close enough for a spontaneous visit, the township offers a clear contrast to suburban and coastal centres, making it a natural option for those seeking a slower weekend pace. Located on the lower foothills…
Some families plan carefully for specialised education from the outset. Others only realise the need after a child struggles in a mainstream setting, or when everyday routines begin to unravel. In both cases, one factor quickly becomes clear: proximity matters. Once a child is settled in the right environment, moving suburbs can be deeply disruptive…
At 5:00 a.m., Caboolture is already awake. Headlights sweep across the car park at the showgrounds. A few thermoses are cracked open. Utes reverse into place with that familiar Sunday choreography — quick wave, small talk, someone helping someone else wrestle a trestle table into line. By the time the sun properly lands, the rhythm…
By mid-morning on a Sunday, Redcliffe’s foreshore is already alive. The scent of coffee drifts across the promenade. Stallholders call greetings to familiar faces, and families wander between rows of colour and conversation. It’s a familiar scene — and one that hints at why Redcliffe has become a well-known host for markets, festivals and community…
