One thing people always get wrong about Brisbane is whether it has beaches or not (and I'm not talking about the Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast).

#twistedvisionssummer24
You all did SO well picking topics! It was so difficult to come up with ideas - i had none for you lol. I've really enjoyed this whole challenge!
Fun fact: Moreton Island and all its beautiful beaches are actually within the City of Brisbane.
North Stradbroke too. In the rush to get the video done, I left that out (I had intended to mention it).
Just a short $500 return trip on a car ferry unless you plan on walking 5 km in any direction to get off the report owned section.
I was lucky enough to know a couple of old blokes in the 80's who had a fisherman hut at North Point. There were around 30 huts at that time, a clubhouse/pub 9 hole golf course LOL. A few years latter, they bulldozed the place 😥.
Are the islands Brisbane, Redlands and Goldie Councils?
Moreton>Nth Straddie>Sth Straddie?
@@punk46664 Yes, which puts the first two in Greater Brisbane.
I think people mean there are no beaches you can swim at.
Redcliffe and Sandgate beaches are quite good for swimming when it's not Sea Lice season, even though most of Sandgate and Shorncliffe are sand flats, but all of the other beaches are still just ankle deep mud flats at high tide and as you said, open mud flats at low tide..
Pandanus Beach sand is actually imported from Straddie.
That makes sense. I was looking at it thinking that it was so inconsistent with the low tide sediment that the sand did seem out of place. Will have to fact check, but I suspect you're right about that.
Just checked, and yes, I can confirm what you said. Will definitely include that in the less rushed follow-up video! Thanks for the info.
Sandgate and Redcliffe have beautiful beaches... Love em.
Ssssssshhhh !!!!
😂
Here from Rob's channel. Stoked to have found you. Cheers from Upper Mount Gravatt ✌🏻
Welcome, and cheers from Algester.
Great video! Does Nudgee beach count? I love your take on the challenge. Well done! 😊
Yeah, if I wasn't so rushed to edit things together (and I knew which hard drive I had the footage and photos on), I would've included a bit about Nudgee Beach. Great spot.
It's also the closest to the CBD @14klm away
LOL - I think its proximity to the Luggage Point sewage treatment plant makes it an automatic "blind spot" when Brisbanites think of the word _beach._ I'm sure the water quality is better these days, but still...
@@damonroberts7372 good to know. Thanks
Tyr telling someone in inland Australia that the river beach they got to on hot days is not a beach.
I certainly would never say an inland beach is not a beach, especially when one of the Australian Beach of the Year place-getters last year or the year before was an inland beach on a river. I did see that some definitions of "beach" do require that it's affected by tides, but most definitions don't mention that.
Excellent video! Recently subscribed through T-Rocks and Rob channel, but I remember seeing you on Airbnb experiences ! All the best!
Cheers!
Live near Redcliffe 3:08 I do. (coulda asked)
I enjoyed the video very much mate¡! ❤😊🎉
Got all of that at the river 4:10 near my place.
Haha, so there's someone here who can confirm that we do have beaches!
😉@@BrisbaneChannel 🤣
On the Northside we even have a suburb called Nudgee Beach, admittedly we do not have any surf beaches.
Yes, I was planning on including Nudgee beach itself in the video, but I was too rushed to get it done by the deadline and it somehow fell out.
Ever since I’ve been in Brisbane, I’ve always beached local. Coochie is my favourite, and Petra 🐕 loves the ferry ⛴
There is a great dog beach at Cleveland. Beautiful Moreton bag figs too 🌳
The only time I go to either coast is when we have interstate/international visitors 🌊
Also a great human beach at Cleveland as well. 😂
Great video Adam!
Thanks!
Yip. Im constantly trying to bust this "no coastline/no beach" myth. Brissy has a river and the cbd is built around that but on a map there’s a 66km plus coastline. Greater brissy (moreton bay, logan, Ipswich, Redlands, and Central BNE councils) has 3x councils that have coastal boundaries. Sandgate, Manly (marina vibe), Cleveland/Raby bay (incl beautiful canals), and Redcliffe to name a few. There are swim and triathlon clubs at Redcliffe that swim regularly... go on a Sat morning anytime and there's sometimes a hundred swimmers. I think part of it is the signage that just says "Brisbane 29km) for example but it should say Brisbane City 29km or CBD 29km ... this would help remove the mindset that the CBD is all that brissy is. Further, why can SYD have it's northern beaches with some being an hour away from central or southern SYD but if we travel out to our southern or northern beaches aka GC or sunny coast, respectively then it doesn't count? Brisbane residents have access to some of the most pristine surf beaches in Australia/world. In fact if you live in south or north brissy then surf beaches are less than 30 minutes drive ... that's better than say someone living in Parramatta or Penrith. Also brissy's coast of mudflats are better than Melbourne's or Auckland's mudflats ... have you been to Auckland's eastern bays? At low tide the water is revolting 🤮 with mud/course sand and debris ... and guess what? This is considered one of Auckland's top 3 areas 😮. Aucklanders claim Piha beach (40 to 50 min drive from central city) as their example of a top surf beach but it's nothing (rough surf and black hot sand) compared to GC or sunny coast. Ppl of AKL also need to drive hours out of city to get something even half as good as GC or sunny coast surf. Some for Melbourne's inner city coastal suburbs - all mudflats, even at high tide. Then there's Brissy's sandy islands with tropical fish. Sure it takes some time to get there but all very doable as a day trip. Anyway, awesome video and I can add to my tool kit on my mission to debunk the no sea myth of Brisbane ❤🎉😮😢😂
Cheers! Good points.
Mate Refered here froms Robs Channel, G'Day from B Ridge, And i went to Bribie Island in January for the first time after going to Sandpoint Hotel for Lunch and i can verify its on Par with a definition of a clean sandy Beach with waves as Woorim Beach is kinda outside Moreton Bay. Although drive Time wise the road to Bribie is long esp the 2 way congested bridge conecting to the mainland and depending on the Bruce hwy Kings Beach Caloundra might be quicker to get to, Mooloolaba with the congestion on the Sunshine mwy at timea it might better to just go to Bribie when the Bruce aint chockers:) keep up the good work mate!! So Woorim Beach is Brisbane's closest proper beach
Might be closest living at the top of Greater Brisbane, but for me, it would be quicker to take a ferry over to North Stradbroke island if I wanted a beach with proper waves.
@@BrisbaneChannel North Straddie for Southern agreed
It's partly the muddy/rocky shoreline along much of Moreton Bay, but it's also the poor water quality. Brackish, lots of sediment, and pollution. This has been improving, because sewage effluent is treated to a higher standard now than in the "bad old days". But there are still 30-odd effluent discharge points around the bay, and of course Brisbane's stormwater isn't treated at all. Water quality in Moreton Bay is particularly poor in the rainy season. Brisbane City Council does environmental monitoring at various points around the bay and estuaries, and put up signs if counts of indicator organisms (like enterococci) get too high. But I wouldn't be keen to swim in the bay at the best of times.
Great info. Gives me more to look into for a properly researched video. Thanks!
I'd like to see more of Buddy in future videos.
So would I 🙂
@@BrisbaneChannel I know a great place where he could go for a walk while you tell an interesting story about lost caves.
Gidday from a fellow Brisbane youtuber 😉👍
Hi. Haven't seen you here in a while. Hope you're doing well.
@@BrisbaneChannel Yes thanks. I don't think I've ever seen you on my channel...I'm sorry that I wasn't included in the challenge of Brisbane youtubers, after doing so for 18 years though...
@@SteveMack I've dropped by from time to time. I thought I'd commented on one or two videos, but maybe that was back when THE Brisbane Channel had a different name (it had changed twice before I settled on the current and final name).
When did you change the name? What was it before mate?
@@SteveMack It was BNE Lens, then just my name (Adam Robert Young). Finally settled on the current name when it became clear what the focus of the channel would be.
You say beaches .I say Banana.????😂😂👍👍 great video
I'm confused! But cheers!
@BrisbaneChannel maybe your too young to get it. It's an old saying 😁
@@GizmosBushEscapes Haha, nice to be too young for something these days. I guess it's a "let's call the whole thing off" reference?
I felt very underwhelmed by Nudgee Beach!
I think Nudgee Beach is good for sunrise photographers and dog walkers. Certainly nothing to write home about for most other people.
@@BrisbaneChannel I feel sorry for those people who's homes back onto it. They've probably paid a fortune for their beach-front property.
Nudgee Beach was the closest to me growing up in Nundah... Whilst not it something thats postcard worthy like the Gold and Sunny coasts its still a muddy silty sand beach of sorts and its the closest to the CBD being only 14ks away
Yes, I love Nudgee beach. Great for photographers especially, but my wife also really enjoyed watching the sunrise there last year. Great spot.
good pick of course we have beaches!!
I just wish I'd been able to get to more of them.
Living in Cleveland, we definitely have beaches. Those who are saying we don’t, need to have a better look. They have obviously forgotten about North Stradbroke Island beaches, which is part of Redland City, as well.
And Moreton Island. But I think people are talking about beaches that don't need to be part of a full daytrip.
Possibly. Cleveland and Victoria Point have beaches as do the Islands like Karragarra. Though Straddie is only a 20 min ferry ride away. I think a lot of people think that if they are no waves, it is not a beach.
Moreton Island is part of the Brisbane City Council and it has a surf side, the eastern side. The best part of Moreton Is. is that it is difficult to get there, so it's not crowded. Love going to Tangalooma and 4WDing as it's mostly a sand island. There's history there too.
Beaches nobody goes to don't count
@@davidwilliams7552 there are always people at Cleveland beach. I swim there every day. Loads of families with little kids. Australia Day must have had 1000 people. They also have a coffee truck there mornings and weekends. So yeah, people do visit.
Nudgee beach ? Another option
Yes, another I was planning to include in the video. Too much got lost in the rush to get it done by the deadline, sadly. I think I'll need to do a follow-up video without the time limitations!
Kangaroo Point Beach anyone?
I actually love that little area, and technically, it does qualify as a beach. I'll probably include it in a less rushed followup to this video some time later this year.
Good one, but so was Walkabouts’. How you picking the winner?
It wasn't a competition, but it seems everyone has their own favourite. Rob's was definitely very entertaining.
@@BrisbaneChannel 🤣gotta be a winner mate? Only way to pick might have to be a best of 3?
Yeah, enjoying watching what you all come up with. Thanks👍
How good is Coochiemudlo!
Pretty good! We didn't get to explore much because a lot is off limits to dogs. Will have to go back and explore properly another time.
Coochiemudlo is amazing. I got engaged there! ❤
Spent a lot of time there as a kid...great memories.
These days, I mostly hang out at one of the 5 beaches at Cleveland.
Nice!
I complained about this when I was a kid, they are not beaches, the a muddy sea toilets, its stinks, the mud sand is actually poo from the fish and animals. The solution is to remove the rocks and filter the sand in a machine so its completely clean, get rid of ALL the ugly Mangroves, and bull-dose the islands blocking the surf and dump the sand to make huge beaches, have surf at red-cliff!
Hey mate, howcome you removed Adrians 'interview'? Did the men in black suits contact you?
Haha. Just a gesture of goodwill ahead of the proper interview next week.
Moreton Island is part of Brisbane. There are no beaches on Moreton Island?
I was going to mention North Stradbroke and Moreton islands, but it got lost in the rush to get the video out by the deadline.
@@BrisbaneChannel Straddie is part of Redlands but Moreton Island is in Brisbane City.
@@mikeyhau I always thought it was part of Moreton LGA, but you're right. I learnt something today!
But for the purposes of this video (and the channel in general), I'm usually talking about Greater Brisbane.
Lol norrr folk
Only good beaches there are out on Straddie
What makes a beach a good beach? What about the ones on Moreton Island?
Wynnum beach is not a natural beach. It is man made back in 1987.
Yes, I'll be addressing that in a follow up video that is not rushed as this one was! But I didn't know when it was first "installed", so thanks for sharing. I'll have to look into things more deeply...
Technically, the only real beach near Brisbane would be Sandgate-redcliff area. If you include islands then it gets into the other bay islands.@@BrisbaneChannel
And the winner is ROB
this would be a great topic for a long form video that you could spend time on making, when not rushed , covering all our beautiful beaches 🤙
Yes, you're not the first to say so. I've added it to the list.
Dear Mexicans
Brissie has NO beaches
Please move to Tassie instead 😂
This could have been a really good video had you been able to put more effort into it. It was disappointing, as you did have a really good subject! Would have loved to have seen Colmslie, Nudgee, Wellington Point beaches... Maybe Victoria Point? Oh well. there's always next year lol
There's no reason I can't cover those this year in a video that's not part of a challenge. And I just might...
@@BrisbaneChannel That would be cool ✌I would love to see that! 🙂
Again Coochie is NOT part of Brisbane. It is part of Redland City.
I address this in my response to your original feedback. I am aware it does not belong to Brisbane City, but it is part of Greater Brisbane.
bondiiiiiii
I'm a former Sydneysider. As such, I know that Bondi is greatly overrated, and there are so many FAR better beaches in Sydney. Bondi's just popular because it's easy to get to from the city for tourists.
