A green seachange on the beach - Seldom do you find the environment and atmosphere to take you back to your childhood? In this small village community, people still wander home from the local hotel on Tuesday night after enjoying a meal together. The local tennis club meets up on Thursday and enjoys the cool breeze off the Coral sea and Moreton Bay as they catch up on events while playing.
There are only a few properties here and very few with the distinct advantage of absolute waterfront.
