Woody Point, Queensland

Download coordinates as: Woody Point is a coastal suburb of Redcliffe in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia.

[citation needed] Woody Point is at the south-east of the Redcliffe Peninsula, approximately 35.2 kilometres (21.9 mi) by road north-northeast of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia.

After arriving in 1824 to establish the colony, problems with mosquitoes and resistance from the Gubbi Gubbi (Kabi Kabi) and the people (Ningi Ningi, Ninghi Ninghi), part of the Undambi people who were indigenous to the land, caused the colony to relocate further up the Brisbane River in 1825, founding the city of Brisbane.

[7] Redcliffe developed as a small seaside retreat accessible only by boat from Brisbane while Woody Point was originally a banana plantation.

By improving the road connection between them, Redcliffe then became much more accessible and grew as part of Brisbane's suburban sprawl.

[citation needed] A one-off 'high speed reliability trial' motor race was held in 1936, with a 4.2km (2.65 mile) circuit using the following streets in a clockwise direction: Oxley St-Duffield Rd-Ernest St-Albert St-Margate Pde-Whytecliffe Pde-Gayundah Esplanade-Lilla St-Alfred St.

This led to the closure of St Mark's on 24 April 1993 which was approved by Assistant Bishop George Browning.

[17] As at July 2020, the St Mark's site has been converted into a multi-unit dwelling but the foundation stone is still visible on the street corner.
