There's something about a village setting by the sea. A feeling of friendliness, a nautical atmosphere with a warmth and charm that's hard to find anywhere else...

Just 20 minutes drive from the heart of the city is Brisbane's only bayside village, Manly Harbour Village. A place where old world character and charm sits comfortably beside present day chic, right on the edge of picturesque Moreton Bay.

Manly Harbour Village overlooks the largest man-made marina on Australia's east coast, which is home to over 1,500 craft of all shapes and sizes.

Cat-o'-Nine Tails Cruises have been operating educational and historical tours to St Helena Island since 1982. Our modern 17 metre catamaran, Cat-O'-Nine-Tails, takes only 30 minutes to reach the Island from Brisbane's bayside suburb of Manly.

Tours to the Island operate all year long and we offer Day tours or Night 'Secrets of St Helena' conducted by members of the St Helena Theatre Troupe.

These tours won the prestigious Queensland Tourism Award for Heritage and Cultural Tourism in 1998.
 

Established in 1992 at Manly, a bayside suburb of Brisbane, The Manly Gallery deals in original paintings, sculpture, glass and ceramics produced by artists living and working in Queensland.

We represent Adam Bogusz, Bruce Buchanan, Christine Reilly, Denise Murray, Marc Kalifa, Frances Luke, Michael Cawdrey, Trevor Platt, Graham W. Smith, Pam Walpole and other Queensland professional artists.

Located in Brisbane's idyllic bayside, Wynnum Plaza is a sub-regional Centre anchored by Woolworths, Coles, Kmart, Dan Murphy's and Fitness First and over 55 specialty stores. The Centre is located in one of Brisbane's fastest growing areas combining older residential areas with newer more affluent homes and young families. The Centre is the only sub-regional shopping Centre within the main trade area, and through strong community support Wynnum Plaza is a favourite in the area.

During WWI, the Pinkenba wharves on the Brisbane River were the point of embarkation for many Australian troops, including members of the Light Horse. Not far from where soldiers were waved off, a solid cairn memorial stands remembering those who did not return. The Pinkenba monument unveiled by His Excellency the Governor Sir Hamilton Goold-Adams on 16 August 1919, records the names of 42 men who enlisted from the Toombul district, eight of whom died. This memorial features the bronze work of skilled Norwegian migrant Ernest Gunderson, also known for his war memorial commissions in Gayndah and Dalby. A plinth of cast rusticated-finish concrete blocks supports an obelisk-like bronze pedestal with Doric columns at each corner. This section contains the honour roll. A small dome sits atop a square platform with an upright artillery shell and a laurel wreath, all in bronze, projecting from the dome. Pinkenba's war memorial is not intact: miniature bronze mounted troopers and soldiers have long since disappeared. A WWII memorial plaque, set on a basalt stone, sits nearby, recording local enlistments and the four who died.
