Explore the Fort Bribie Day Use Area :

The Fort Bribie Day Use Area is a great spot for a picnic. The deep sand in the parking area could be a problem for some vehicles. From the information shelter, two surfaced tracks lead up the dune towards Fort Bribie, a 5km return walk from the day-use area. The walking track stops once you reach the top of the dune and only surfaces some of the Fort. The toilet facilities are wheelchair accessible, but the walking track to Fort Bribie is not. Drive out onto the ocean beach and travel north to Fort Bribie.

30.7 km Southern Searchlight. The two 36″ searchlights were built to assist the guns of Fort Bribie. 31.3 km No 1 Gun. Each gun had a 6″ Mk X1 cannon weighing 36 tonnes taken from a WW1 battleship. The guns fired a 102 lb shell but were never fired in anger. Fort Bribie was completed in early 1942 as an integral part of the “Brisbane Line” defence of Australia. It was disbanded in 1944.

Day Trips from Brisbane, Moreton and the Sunshine Coast :

Bribie Island and its mainland neighbours are in the perfect spot for a school holiday day trip, whether you’re from the north, south or west. A day trip to Bribie Island makes one of those magical childhood memories every single time.

Have a Play at Bongaree Jetty, Park, and Beach :

Bongaree Beach is located right by the jetty and the picnic area. It’s a calm little beach where jet skis and boats in the distance generally cause waves. It’s a perfect spot for young kids to paddle. The jetty is also great for a little walk with the kids; you can often see older kids jumping off the jetty. The calm water beach, the fishermen on the jetty, Brennan Park (with the world’s most fun flying fox!) and fish and chips, followed by ice cream right on the beach. It’s a whole day of fun in one fantastic spot!
