To the north of Brisbane is Deception Bay.

All sorts of water activities, sailing, skiing, swimming, kite boarding and much more are available. If driving in the countryside is more your style, then head north-west of Brisbane to the Caboolture area. Pastoral land, pretty farms, some selling their produce in roadside stalls, antique shops to find a bargain and country pubs for a cold ale and some good Aussie tucker are to be found here. To the East of Brisbane is the bay side suburbs of Cleveland and Wynnum-Manly. These areas look over Moreton Bay and it is from here that the vehicle and passenger ferries leave to take visitors and locals to the many islands in the bay. Both Deception and Moreton Bays offer visitors plenty of history to explore, old museums, the Cleveland Lighthouse constructed in 1864 and served for 110 years and the Old Court House built in 1863, now a restaurant which is said to be haunted. Weekends in the bay areas are special with the locals offering fresh farm produce and arts and crafts at one of the many markets
