History

Redcliffe district is named after “Red Cliff Point” which was named after the explorer John Oxley.  The red cliffs are visible from Moreton Bay.  Redcliffe became Queensland’s first colony in 1824, but was shortly abandoned in favour of Brisbane.  The Redcliffe peninsula is home to many iconic attractions.  Amongst is the “Bee Gees way”, an outdoor tribute to the Bee Gees rock group that started their stellar music career in Redcliffe.  Other attractions are Morgan’s Seafood market, the Gyandah Wreck, seaside arcades, markets, the Redcliffe museum, and lots of festivals.  The district is also the home to Redcliffe Airport which housed the Scout Air Activities centre in 2020.

Redcliffe district was previously known as Redcliffe Peninsula district.  Prior to Redcliffe Peninsula District being formed, Redcliffe district’s groups were part of Peninsula District which was formed in 1958 by A. Geo “Roo” Thomas who was an Asst District Commissioner of Pine Rivers District.  The original groups were part of Pine Rivers District situated on the Redcliffe Peninsula [1, 2].  By 1983, the name Redcliffe Peninsula appears to have been shortened to Redcliffe district [3].
