Manly, a beach, boating and residential suburb on Waterloo Bay (a coastal indent on Moreton Bay) is 15 km east of central Brisbane.
Land sales first occurred at Manly in the 1860s, and one of the purchasers established a sugar plantation and built Wyvernleigh House overlooking Waterloo Bay. The house site in Oceana Terrace is now occupied by the Catholic church and the St John Vianneys primary school (1941).
