Redland Bay

Redland Bay, a suburb facing Moreton Bay, is 31 km south-east of Brisbane. It is named after the rich volcanic soil found on much of the Redland Shire's area, including several off-shore islands. Known as krasnozem soil, it has high mineral and organic components, and produced a substantial amount of Brisbane's market garden produce.
