This is the most frustrating fishing area, but it just adds to the challenge! The water along here looks good enough to produce a fish on every cast, no matter what the conditions… not true! The only really successful anglers are those who keep good records and are able to draw upon this bank of experience. This is true of just about any worthwhile spot but is particularly applicable to South White Cliffs. The area has two characteristics – an extension of typical Hervey Bay ledges and also as a deep snaggy hole near the mouth of an estuary. An approach to fishing the area is to decide whether you’re going to think ‘reefy ledges’ or whether you’re going to think ‘deep snaggy hole’. If you treat the area as you would typical Hervey Bay ledges further north, and fish in the appropriate conditions, you’ll probably find a good feed of reefies like coral bream, blackall, Moses perch, and cod. However, blue parrot and coral trout – common on the reefs further north – are not plentiful here. Source: www.fishingmonthly.com.au/Articles/Display/6708-South-Whi...

Wellington Point Wellington Point, a suburb on Moreton Bay, is 21 km east of central Brisbane. It was named by the colonial surveyor James Warner, probably as a compliment to the Duke of Wellington. The point is a slender, northwards promontory with picnic facilities and a sailing club at its end. The area was originally part of Louis Hope's Ormiston estate and was associated with his early attempts at sugar growing. A sugar mill was successfully converted to a timber mill, which continued until the 1890s. A school was opened in 1887 and a Methodist church in 1888. In common with the Redcliffe Peninsula, Wellington Point was the subject of speculative subdividers, but unlike Redcliffe, it had a timely railway connection (1887). By 1901 Wellington Point had 270 people. Apart from timber and land subdivisions, Wellington Point formed an Agriculture, Horticulture, and Industries Association (1890). There were dairying, citrus, and other fruits, vegetables, and displays by coach-builders at its shows. The Agriculture, Horticulture, and Industries Association held its last show in 1939, but suburban growth was minor until the 1970s. Wellington Point has retained a reputation as a popular picnic spot, with views across Moreton Bay. In Main Road, near Marlborough Road, several historic cottages and Whepstead Manor can be seen. The Manor (1889) is a two-story verandahed boom-style residence set in spacious, mature gardens. It is listed on the Queensland heritage register Source: queenslandplaces.com.au/wellington-point.

'Walking on water' across the spectacular low-tide sand bridge from Wellington Point to King Island is a Redlands Coast signature experience and one of the most unique walks in southeast Queensland. A stunning sand causeway emerges from beneath the Moreton Bay waters between the Wellington Point (Cullen Cullen) mainland and the tiny, uninhabited King Island at low tide, forming a natural bridge for walkers. It’s a two-kilometer return walk – great for kids who can paddle along the way and spot a variety of wildlife. Source: www.queensland.com/in/en/things-to-do/attractions/p-5daf9...
