Bongaree is the heart of Bribie Island — the main settlement, the jetty, the foreshore, the shops, and the island's sense of history. Named after Bongaree, an Indigenous man who accompanied Matthew Flinders on his 1799 exploration of Moreton Bay, it's been a seaside destination for over a century.
The Bongaree Jetty is a heritage structure that's been a fishing and leisure spot for generations — one of the most photographed landmarks on the island. The suburb has the island's main shopping precinct, the Bribie Island RSL, a string of parks along the foreshore, and the Bribie Island Library. The bridge to the mainland is five minutes south. Bongaree developed as a holiday destination from the 1910s. For buyers who want island living with mainland access, Bongaree is Bribie's heart at a median around $750K.
Who Should Buy Here?
