Living in Toorbul: Fishing Village by the Passage

28 May 2026ยท Beverley Gibbons

On the Pumicestone Passage opposite Bribie Island, Toorbul is a genuine fishing village โ€” modest homes, a boat ramp, a community hall, and a pace of life that's measured in tides, not traffic. The Glasshouse Mountains provide the backdrop. For buyers who want to get away from it all.

Toorbul is one of those places that time forgot โ€” a genuine fishing village on the Pumicestone Passage opposite Bribie Island. Modest homes, a boat ramp, a community hall, and the Glasshouse Mountains rising in the distance. The pace of life is measured in tides, not traffic.

The Toorbul Community Hall is the social centre. The Bribie Island bridge is 10 minutes north. For buyers who want a coastal retreat โ€” a weekender, a permanent escape, or simply a place where the boat ramp sees more action than the main road โ€” Toorbul offers genuine character at a median around $540K, one of the lowest on the coast.

Who Should Buy Here?

Toorbul is for buyers who want a genuine fishing village โ€” modest, friendly, and genuinely coastal โ€” at a price that doesn't require a city salary.
