We often visit here every holiday with Grandma and have a picnic or fish and chips, and the best time to visit is at low tide.
There is an island/sand bar with mangroves that you can walk out to, we never seem to get that far as the boys spend alot of time playing on the mud flats with the hermit crabs and the low tide pools.
It is also a lovely spot at hight tide for a knee deep swim, it's warm and shallow, it does get a little deeper but you just don't know what's lurking in the muddy depths. The view below is the little mangrove island and in the distance is looking over to the mouth of the Brisbane River. Those giant giraffe looking things (that's what my mum calls them) are the cranes at the shipping ports.
The other attractions at Wellington Point are the wonderful Moreton Bay Figs.
Ever since I was little my sister and I have been tree climbers. We used to scooch along the boughs to see how far we could go, or how high we could climb. The trees here are just magnificent for climbing. The boys had a go at climbing but weren't too sure about it.

Moreton Bay figs are just the most amazing trees. I remember going to a playground in Brisbane full of fig trees. The play equipment/fort/bridges etc was built among the trees. I'd move to Brisbane just to have regular access to it!!
What awesome trees. I love the picture of the one where the branch is being held up off of the ground.
