Redland City

Redland City is my town. Not my kind of town just my town. It is not where I was born but it is where I grew up. AKA Redlands City or just The Redlands. I have spent 32 of my years here stuck not being able to get out when I could and now I can’t leave. Anyway this place is bland but beautiful, never bold. The beauty is in the islands including Russell Island, Karragarra Island, Macleay Island and Lamb Island where my Dad lives, which can be accessed from the Redland Bay ferry terminal. Beautiful also is Coochiemudlo Island which can be accessed from the Victoria Point ferry terminal and North Stradbroke Island, the most beautiful of all with its crashing waves and great surf I am told, which can be accessed from Cleveland ferry terminal.
