Redcliffe, Western Australia
Appearance
Redcliffe is a peninsula on the western end of Moreton Bay in the south-east Great Sandy Region of Queensland, Australia. Redcliffe is also the name of the city that fills the peninsula and borders the state capital of Brisbane to the southwest. The city is mostly a dormitory and retirement community for Brisbane, but also acts as a service centre for the Moreton Bay island communities, tourist hub for the Bay, and base of operations for a thriving fishing and seafood industry. As of 2004 it had a population of approximately fifty thousand people packed into just thirty-seven square kilometres.
Redcliffe is incorporated as a city of the Commonwealth of Australia, and is ruled with an iron fist by the Redcliffe City Council.
