BONGAREE

Lifestyle

Defined by its relaxed lifestyle and sub-tropical climate, Bongaree on Bribie Island, in the Moreton Bay Region, is considered pure paradise by its lucky residents.

Situated on the eastern coast of Bribie Island, which is Queensland’s only island connected to the mainland by a bridge, residents have total seclusion and tranquility. Living here means embracing a relaxed and laid-back lifestyle where the pace of life aligns with the ebb and flow of the tides.

The beach is the epicentre of Bongaree. Residents wake up to the sound of waves crashing on the shore, inviting them to start their day with a refreshing swim or a leisurely stroll. The coastal lifestyle means that fishing, swimming, and water sports are integral parts of daily life.

Community is at the core of Bongaree's charm. The suburb's tight-knit population fosters a warm and welcoming environment, where neighbours often become lifelong friends. Community events and markets are big here with Bribie Island Rotary Markets on the second Sunday of every month and the Bribie Island and District Community Chest Market on the third Sunday of the month, there’s always something to look forward to. There are cute cafés, grocery stores and playgrounds, adding to its local feel.

Bongaree offers an escape from the chaos of city life, yet it's within easy reach of Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast (about an hour’s drive), ensuring you can have the best of both worlds.

In terms of schools, Bribie Island State School is a co-ed primary school and Bribie Island State High School is a co-ed public school and are both excellent institutions.

Living here means waking up to the beauty of the Australian coastline every day, immersing yourself in a tight-knit community, and enjoying a lifestyle that embraces the natural rhythms of the sea. It's a place where life slows down, and every moment is a reminder of the simple joys of coastal living.
