Today we headed out to Scarborough and Redcliffe on Moreton Bay , we'd been here many years ago and memories were a bit vague , so we had a drive around first then went for a ride on the bikes .
Scarborough Beach was the first stop , the beach was very quiet though .
There were people out & about enjoying the sunshine and grassed areas .
There were plenty of boats out , and a few Sup's getting some practice .
Around the northern tip to the marina and you get views to the Glasshouse Mountains .
Down to Suttons Beach at Redcliffe , a sweep of sand with views out to Moreton Island , this is looking down toward Woody Point .
Views from Margate are toward the Brisbane Port and Airport .
There's a beautiful mural along this wall - it looks amazing , the dolphin looks like it will jump straight out of the wall !!
Parking at Woody Point we headed out on the bikes , there's a great network of bike tracks here , we followed the track south down to the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge . It has a dedicated walking lane and two way bike lanes , the bridge is approx 2klms across and carries the south bound traffic , an older bridge carries the north bound traffic , both are 3 lanes wide .
There's arches each side of the bay that are from the original 2 lane bridge that spanned the water - It was the Houghton Highway - this is the southern side .
Here's the view of the northbound bridge , with the southbound bridge on the other side .
Here's both of them
About one third the way across , there's a fishing platform for those who wish to use it !
