Default Bribie Island

Any comments - how long travel time to city ? Is it a retirement area ? We have this on our shortlist, together with Cleveland, Victoria Point. It is worth having it on a shortlist to see in April ?

About 45 minutes drive to brisbane city. Maybe upto 1 hour at peak times. I don't think it's a major retirement area. We were there in January and put it to no. 1 on our list for when we make the move in June. I have quite a lot of links for information on bribie, let me know what you need and i'll try to help. Would definitely have on your shortlist. Very laid back on the island, great lifestyle.

"The SLA with the oldest population in Australia in 2019 is projected to be Bribie Island on the Queensland coast, with 37% of its residents aged 65 years and over. This is an increase of 9 percentage points from current levels, and almost 20 percentage points higher than the projected national average." - Australian Bureau of Statistics.

20 mins Bribie to Highway at Caboolture. 45 - 60 mins to CBD. Traffic can be at standstill on the highway at peak hour.
