Somehow we look up at the calendar to find that three months of the year have already passed and we are jumping headfirst into the month of April with the Easter holidays well and truly upon us!

Think you know Redlands Coast and all it has to offer? Well, you may be surprised to know that there are some hidden treasures in the area just waiting to be discovered. This stunning coastal region is defined as much by the bay waters as it is by the mainland. From shore, the coastal villages are scattered with cute cafes, seaside fun and an abundance of nature to explore, while the many islands dotting southern Moreton Bay operate on their own island time with plenty of adventures to be had.
