Osprey House Environment Centre
Osprey House Environmental Centre is a must see when you’re staying in the Moreton Bay region.
The centre is owned by Moreton Bay Regional Council and operated by trained and enthusiastic volunteers. It is nestled amongst mangroves on the Pine River, where it opens into a wide estuary and is rich with sea life and bird life, with bird hides along the boardwalks amongst the foreshore.
It features an osprey nest on the “Osprey pole”, with live streaming video of the ospreys fishing and nesting. The Ospreys can be seen at almost any time in daylight hours, soaring over the river, diving into the water to catch fish, or carrying fish back to the cross bars or nest. These majestic birds have become very rare or locally extinct in some parts of the world
The interpretive centre includes a life size dugong, bird and animal displays and the live streaming video from the osprey nest. You’ll find interesting educational displays, ‘touch’ tables and information provided in numerous and novel ways.
Osprey House Environment Centre is located on a picturesque site on the Pine River on Dohles Rocks Road, Griffin.

Heated to a “just right” 26 degrees, our turquoise blue pool is simply divine.
Simply floating about in a pristine outdoor swimming pool has huge benefits for your well being.
If you like to dog paddle or breast stroke, it is a soul soothing remedy for stress.

Amazing.

It’s reassuring to know that when you stay at Scarborough Beach Resort your vehicle is safe and sound in our free, secure undercover car park.
This gives you the freedom to leave the car behind to wander on foot, exploring the immediate local area and attractions or travelling across the water to mesmerising Moreton Island.
We are also in a fantastic location – conveniently positioned within driving distance of numerous day-trip destinations.
While we have an undeniably picturesque beach on our doorstep, the coastline drive is refreshing. You might like to drive south along the short peninsula route to Redcliffe Jetty, checking out Woody Point on the way.

Alternatively, a one-and-a-half hour drive into the hinterland will get you to the aptly named Mount Glorious in the D’Aguilar Range.

Groovin’ on a Sunday afternoon: Scarborough Sounds on Father’s Day
When: Sunday, September 3, 2017, from 4-8pm
Where: Scarborough Park, Scarborough
Dads everywhere will wish they were up our way on Father’s Day when Scarborough Sounds comes to Scarborough Park as part of the annual Redcliffe Festival.
This year’s lineup is grooving and moving and shaking (no faking) with the hip sounds of two local “big bands” and several more accomplished acts.
The Steele Syndicate, an octet, are guaranteed to knock Dad for six with their funk, reggae, ska and indie-rock inspired sounds.
It’s a great opportunity to watch Dad “dance” and have a gentle chuckle among yourselves (but never at his expense – at least not on his special day).
Food and drinks will be available from market stalls and a bar will be located near the main stage (BYO is not permitted at this event).
Weather permitting, the evening will end with a huge bonfire that emits magical rainbow flames.
All this for Dad? What’s more – it’s FREE!

Sand toboggan or skydive over Redcliffe
If adrenaline is your drug of choice, there’s absolutely no excuse to stay inside this winter.
Get out of your comfort zone and dive into amazing action adventures.
We’ve browsed through some of the most spine tingling, mentally and physically challenging experiences for our totally terrifiying top 2:
Brisbane tandem skydive from 14000 ft: Woah! That’s rather high and definitely not for the faint hearted (so get the old ticker checked before you even think about it). Brisbane Skydiving is taking it to the limit, climbing to the maximum legal allowable height in Australia. A huge motivating factor is the view of Brisbane City, Moreton Bay and Bribie Island that is made complete by a beach landing at Redcliffe. G’arn. You can do it!
Head out to Moreton Island for some serious sand tobogganing. This is a free activity that requires a high fitness level. You can propel yourself down a range of sand dunes or, for those wanting a bigger thrill, bring a sandboard – a waxed masonite board that has been properly waxed and buffed.

winter warmers: our spa is heated to 36 degrees!
Get cosy with us this winter. The sun is shining on the coast at Scarborough Beach and we have the perfect solutions to beat those winter blues.
Enliven your senses in our heated hydro jet spa:
Let go of mid-year stress in Scarborough Beach Resort’s hydro spa. Our extra large resort-style indoor hydro spa is heated to 36 degrees. It has the right temperature and water pressure to soothe aching and tired muscles and boost the immune system.
Fish and chips by the seaside:
Let your nose lead you on a stroll from our front door to The Boatshed at 63 Landsborough Ave for mouth-watering fish and chips (or burgers if that’s your thing). Cross the road to the beach and feast on your bounty while inhaling that fresh sea air and dreaming of summer!
Move it in our gym:
Maybe it’s wise to wait for the fish and chips to digest before making the most of the fitness facilities available to our guests at our gym, which contains a rowing machine, treadmill, stationary bikes and circuit equipment.
