Cedar Creek is a picturesque waterway, which begins its life as water moving from the high altitudes of Mount Glorious in the D'Aguilar Ranges to the low lying areas of South Pine River. As the creek meanders towards the coastline of Moreton Bay, it is a treasure trove of rock pools, waterfalls, stunning picnic spots, plus home to a diversity of Australian native flora and fauna, including kookaburra's, platypus and wallabies. You can start your exploration from either the location called Cedar Creek (near Samford) or Draper (near Eatons Hill), both just thirty minutes from the Brisbane city centre. Cedar Creek is one of the go-to spots for North Brisbane families and one of the must-dos for Moreton residents. Source: www.visitmoretonbayregion.com.au/natural-attractions/ceda...

good one

flic.kr/p/nHV1oy And here's an old postcard I have of the same place.

Wow, bet there were a few injuries here! Health and safety would go crazy with this today. Looks like fun though. I never knew this existed and have walked the Whitley Bay coastline many times.

The western side of North Stradbroke Island faces into the southern half of Moreton Bay. The sandy shore receives no ocean swell, except at the very north-western entrance. Only at the protruding Dunwich and along the north-western Amity shore are the bay waves sufficiently high to maintain low-energy sandy beaches fronted by tidal flats and/or tidal channels. As the bay narrows south of Dunwich, the low energy conditions permit mangroves to dominate the shore, while between Dunwich and Amity extensive sand flats and tidal shoals extending 12 km into the bay also maintain calm conditions and a mangrove-fringed shore. In all, there are five-bay beaches between Dunwich and Amity Point. One Mile Beach (1578) forms the northern shore of Dunwich. It is a 500 m long, low-energy strip of high tide sand, including a few scattered mangroves, fronted by 1 km wide sand flats. The beach is backed by a foreshore reserve, then houses. Amity is located on the north-western tip of the island and borders the transition from the bay to the ocean shore. The main settlement extends along 1 km of the west-facing bay shore. Unfortunately, the settlement was located too close to the shore and the natural retreat of the beach has caused a 500 m long section to be replaced by a rock seawall. This seawall divides the previously sandy shore into two beaches. Source: beachsafe.org.au/beach/qld/redland/dunwich/one-mile
