Qld - Scarbourough

We have met several people on the road who had told us about the Redcliffe Penninsula just north of Brisbane, so we decided to stay a few days and check it out.
We stayed in a caravan park at Scarborough by the harbour. Unfortunately, while we were here the Queensland weather once again was storming and wet, but on the last day it was sunny so we checked out the area.
The bike and walking tracks are fantastic, running along the entire coastal areas with rest stops, work out areas, barbeques and parks. It was a Saturday morning and Redcliffe was humming with a market on the foreshore which was a “must do” for us, where we picked up some wonderful fresh fruit and produce. The restaurants were packed with people which is always good to see.
We spent a couple of hours watching the local kite surfing. As there are no surf beaches in the bay to jump the waves, they had built ramps, similar to skate board ramps, close to shore, where they would fly up to them and “sail” along them and jump off the end. Incredibly skillful and very entertaining to watch.
