Harbour View Restaurant by Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Disappointing; the restaurant has been revamped into faux-Italian, and kept the higher end prices, menu and dinner service wait times that suggest fine dining quality. However, the tables and chairs are still made of light plastic, and our meal experience was average: the"12 hour roasted... lamb" we expected to be succulent was dry and the beef was on the tough side. We preferred the pre-Covid dinner menu and its range of seafood. More

Good food fresh, one of the finest restaurants in the neighbourhood. Staff are fantastic, helpful & friendly. Seafood platter is amazing. Bucket of Prawns, bucket of Muscles, pile of S&P Calamari, Bugs, 1/2 doz Oysters, crumbed Whiting Scallops fries and fresh fruit. All in a... quiet alfresco setting overlooking the bay. More

royal yacht club wynnum

As always the manager here is brilliant, we always have a chat with her and always goes out of her way to make us feel special and update to date with our order. Her customers service skills are making us come to the RQYS more... often. The food is great, we shared the reef and beef for 2 and it was perfect. Our table of 10 all had positive feedback. More

Thank you for taking the time to send such a positive review. Lovely to have you join us at the Harbour View Restaurant and we look forward to seeing you back at RQYS. Kind regards Lenore Bennett Restaurant Manager

Oh my goodness, booked a table for 8 for lunch..... very dissatisfied, salt and pepper calamari was so salty couldn’t eat it, and pizza was ordinary too. Too expensive because quality was so poor. Staff looked like they had to be dragged to work, not... a smile in sight. Food came out at different times, so some of our table had finished while others just started. No collection of empty glasses or plates. What a shame because it’s in such a good position overlooking the harbor. Will not be going back. More

Hello Alex As mentioned to Ingrid in the previous review, we are sorry to hear that you and your group had a poor experience at our Boardwalk CAFE. We would like to invite you and your friends back to enjoy a meal at our Harbour... More

I have been going to RQYS for over 30 years. I have been to weddings, 21st & 60th parties. I can honestly say that today was the worst meal I have ever been served. Party of 7 for lunch. We all ordered at the same... time. Meals were served from 1st to 7th at least 10 minutes between. Two of us had the barra with lentils. It looked like something I would NOT serve to my dog. I did eat the fish, but it was cold & not cooked in the middle. There was enough lentils to feed 20 people. Some ordered desert & we had to ask 3 times as to when it would appear. $50 for the meal, for what it was, is way over the top. Will not be returning. KM More

Great location. Menu has 3 prices for every meal, member, guest, public. All way over the top for what you receive. $16.50 for a pint of Kirin. I had flathead fish of the day. Tiny bit of fish, smothered in batter, cool chips and last... weeks salad, (even the salad was only some lettuce leaf with radish). $36.00. We thought it would be a nice meal out but so far off. Even the toilets were disgusting. Of the 9 meals order only 1 burger was reasonable, not great, just reasonable. It is obvious as to why the Main Street of Manly was busy but this place nearly empty. One star for the location but we will never be back. More

From the moment our grouped walked in the door for our booking in the cafe we were ignored. Trying to get someone’s attention was difficult! Staff unfriendly, meals average and came out at different times. Table left uncleared until we had left 2 hrs later.... Overall a poor experience - won’t be back. Compliments to the lady who took the original booking over the phone very helpful & friendly. More

Hello Ingrid We are very sorry to hear that you and your group had a poor experience at our Boardwalk CAFE. We would like to invite you and your friends back to enjoy a meal at our Harbour View RESTAURANT where we will ensure you... More

The manager Lenore is absolutely wonderful. If she can help you she will and her attitude roles through to her staff who are also amazing. the food is also great and large portions and the view is just stunning. This has been a favourite of... our families for years and whenever we have people come from out of town it is always the place we take them to show off the area. More

Hello Alison, many thanks for your kind words. Lovely to have you join us at the Harbour View Restaurant. We look forward to you dining with us again. Kind regards Lenore Bennett Restaurant Manager

Visiting the area, I enjoyed numerous meals here. The location is the real drawcard, but on every one of my visits for breakfast, lunch or dinner, the food was good (it's not fine dining, but it's good food) and the service was excellent! Great value... for money compared to similar venues around Australia. Bar prices were cheaper than most City and South Bank venues but a bit more than a lot of clubs. Bookings are essential on big occasion days and nights, but normally you can just roll up. Loved the location and the great staff in particular - just nice, friendly, helpful but still very professional. Really enjoyed the place! More

royal yacht club wynnum

Seems like a good concept having external caterers take over the restaurant. Sad not to see any of the RQ staff we know & love retained and taken up by the catering company. Very good food and reasonable prices. A few teething issues which is... to be expected in these early days. More

Sorry today the service alone was terrible, just had to walk out. As a paid member I wonder why I keep paying to get service like this at the cafe. If you can’t get your customer service skills right just to take a coffee, what... more do I have to say! More

Seafood Platter for 2 was Fantastic....Fresh Qld seafood ( mix of fresh & crumbed) with beautiful fruit & wine. Service delightful and views sensational. Cheers to the RQYS Team!

Great service, fantastic food and a lovely view. We had the Butchers Board and it was absolutely delicious, also we had the best oysters we have had in a long time. I highly recommend you try this restaurant.

At manly Marina cove for family wedding, we ate most meals at yacht club and found the food of excellent quality and a beautiful spot to enjoy each other's company whilst watching the boats sail in and around the area.

The location and views are fantastic. We ordered the steak sandwich which I have to say is probably the best I have ever eaten. The prices are very reasonable too. There is a lot of seating and it is spaced well, we didn't feel like... we were sitting on top of other guests (I hate that!). The perfect place to stop in for a drink. The locals are spoiled with this place. The service was fast and very friendly. More

The Wynnum Manly Yacht Club Marina takes up a section of the Manly Boat Harbour, one of the most picturesque areas of the Esplanade along the eastern part of Moreton Bay. It's always a hive of activity and great to take in at sunrise or sunset. The protected marina keeps boats up to 19 metres safe and has berths for lease and sale at various times.

royal yacht club wynnum

The Wynnum Manly Marina is one of my favourite places to walk in Brisbane. It is the most convenient for me that also has water views but even so, it is a relaxing place for sure. Go for a walk along the marina, take your kids fishing off the jetty or grab a coffee and relax on a bench over looking the vast number of boats. Whatever you decide to do, there is a leisure activity for everyone here. Morning and afternoon there is often a stream of boats coming and going which is enjoyable to watch, really peaceful.

  • For Members

The Wynnum Manly Yacht Club was founded in 1962. Although dinghy, skiff and small boat sailing was well catered for in Waterloo Bay at that time, a group of local sailors decided there was a need for an ‘all boat’ club to support racing of various classes of vessels, and the WMYC was formed at its current location.

The WMYC has a dedicated cruising division which arranges several day, overnight and long weekend trips throughout the year, allowing motor and sail yachts to cruise in company and explore Moreton Bay and beyond. This proves a great way for new boat owners to pick up advice on boat handling and for new skippers in the region to find out the best way to navigate and enjoy The Bay. This cruising division links closely with the annual Inter Club Bay Cruise held in September each year and is the highlight of the cruising calendar for many.

Since 1997 the yacht racing activities of The Club have been conducted by the Wynnum Manly Sailing Club. The WMSC runs several regattas during the year including The Hart Cup, a Lady Skippers Race mid-year and since 1976, The Saint Helena Cup. On top of this the Sailing Club also conducts a single or short-handed series of races each year and a social Sunday afternoon race (SAGS) is held each week. These sailing events are of course, complimented by lively social events hosted by the WMYC.

The Manly Dragon Boat Club chose WMYC as their base in 2006 and since then has become a vibrant part of the club community. You will see them launching their boats most Saturday mornings, embarking on training exercises that have led to much success in national and international competitions.

WMYC Members enjoy an active social scene around the clubhouse, with regular dining and entertainment evenings arranged during the year, trivia competitions, a great patio and bbq area and the bar opens to Members, guests and visitors each Sunday afternoon.

Wynnum & Manly: Things to do            

The sun rises with boats in the foreground at Manly Marina.

Manly Marina

Combine seafood, shopping and seaside activities and enjoy an idyllic visit to Brisbane’s southern bayside. With an always-growing list of activities and cafes to visit, we suggest you put aside a weekend to enjoy these coastal villages.  

01. Swim in  Wynnum wading pool  

Let the kids splash and slide when the  Wynnum wading pool  fills with seawater at high tide. This is a summer playground dream with a slide in the middle of the pool and an adjoining playground. It’s easy for parents to keep a watchful eye on this walled pool area.

02. Book crawl in Wynnum

Discover your next favourite read at one of two independent bookshops. Mad Hatters at Manly has created an enchanting space for minds to escape to, while Wynnum’s Little Gnome stocks a wide range of Australian self-published authors and its cosy on-site cage serves Montville coffee.

03. Share the love in a tapas bar

Quality over quantity is evident at the bayside’s tapas bars. Enjoy wine, craft beer or cocktails with friends at Cedar + Pine as you pass around plates of tacos, baos, sliders and chicken wings. Wynnum wine bar Adelita offers a seasonal menu of shareable plates to sate any sized appetite. Venture down to the Esplanade at Manly to slurp freshly shucked oysters and feast on seafood share plates at neighbourhood oyster bar Shucks Bar .

04. Stroll between Wynnum and Manly 

Start at Waterloo Esplanade and stroll along the bay to Wynnum Manly Yacht Club Marina . A mixture of sea breezes, seaside views and fishing lines will accompany you along the waterfront. 

05. Eat your way through the Manly Farmers Markets

From farm fresh fruit to cakes or from seafood to coffee, the Jan Powers Manly Farmers Market has everything you need to stock your fridge for the week. They are held on the first and third Saturday of every month from 6am to midday along the Esplanade.

06. Treat your sweet tooth

Matilda the art of gelato serves authentic Italian gelato made with nothing but natural ingredients and real fruit. Keep your eyes peeled for new flavours and weekly specials such as Yoghurt and Nutella, Iced Vovo and Rockmelon.

07. Fire up your fine dining experience

Immerse yourself in multi-sensory dining at Manly restaurant, The Arsonist . There are no smoke and mirrors here, just a custom-made fire pit and flame grill and a completely open kitchen where you can watch chefs prepare your meals. All dishes are grilled, smoked and slow-cooked over fire and served share-style – just like a posh campfire! 

08. Spend your Wednesday afternoon sailing

Who wants to work on a Wednesday afternoon? Join the enthusiastic yachties who escape to the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron for a sail around Green Island instead. New sailors can join a crew for free at WAGS (Wednesday Afternoons Go Sailing) .

09. Try not to get spooked on St Helena Island   

Historically known as a high-security colonial prison, you can now visit St Helena Island for a day or night tour to learn the history of the island from a team of tour guides and costumed performers. If you love a good ghost story, choose the night tour for a ghostly experience and prepare to hear the stories of prisoners who continue to haunt the island.

10. Indulge in local seafood 

You can’t take a trip to the seaside without indulging in fresh seafood. Enjoy quality fish and panoramic sea views at Manly Boathouse or head to one of the local fish and chip shops including Sea Vibes Kitchen & Bar , Finn's Fish House or Pelican's Nest Cafe . May we suggest a side of beer-battered chips? Naturally!

11. Catch fish on a charter tour 

Gather a group or make friends on board with deep-sea fishing charter tours heading out into the bay. Get involved with reef fishing or try your luck with heavier tackle – a 40kg marlin perhaps?

12. Shop the local goods 

Wander through the bayside’s range of boutique stores for unique fashion and homewares finds. Discover must-have pieces for you and your home at Cultivate Design Co and Ebb and Flow , or support Australian artisans and designers with purchases from The Collective.  

13. Learn to sail

Sailing lessons are available at the Manly Marina from Southern Cross Yachting , the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron Sailing Academy or South Passage – Adventure under Sail . You’ll be the captain of your own yacht in no time.

14. Hear the history of the Great War

Acting as Brisbane’s front line of defence from 1881-1930 in the Great War, Fort Lytton now hosts a night tour to hear the story of local lad and decorated war hero Lieutenant Stanley. Told by actors from a first-hand perspective, some of Stanley’s own photographs are used to bring his story to life as you walk through the historic fortifications.

15. Cosy inside a laneway

Trendy laneway dining is taking off in Manly with Cambridge Lane Espresso quickly becoming a local favourite. Picturesque food and quality coffee are always on offer in this little hideaway.

16. Linger long into the night

Looking for a late-night hot spot in the bayside area? Head into the sports bar of the Waterloo Bay Hotel for a counter meal and a few bevvies with mates. The Manly Deck is an option for a finer dining and drinking experience that continues till late, often with live music playing throughout the night. Wynnum’s Cedar & Pine is open Wednesday to Sunday from 4pm until late with a focus on craft beer, great food and live music.

17. Picnic by the sea

There’s no better way to watch the sun go down than with a picnic by the sea. Picnic and barbecue areas are abundant along the Wynnum Esplanade, perfect for cooking up your fishing catch.

18. Take a walk along Wynnum Mangrove Boardwalk

Wander through the mangrove forest and spot the local wildlife who call this place home. Display boards along the way will help identify the area’s natural highlights and explain the importance of mangroves to the Wynnum and Manly foreshore.

19. Taste the local roast

Dramanti coffee is served in cafés throughout Brisbane but we recommend trying it directly from the source at  Dramanti Cafe Wynnum . You can even grab a bag or two of beans to take home with you.

20. Try your luck on a fishing pier

Apart from being a picturesque spot for sunrise, Wynnum Jetty is a popular spot for local fisherman to cast their line into the waters known to house bream and whiting. Looks like you’ll be having fish for dinner! 

21. Have a craic at Celtic Corner 

Celtic Corner brings a little touch of Ireland to the heart of Manly. Enjoy a braised beef and Guinness pie, creamy pints and live music – all the necessary components of a true Irish pub.

22. Drive your way through Southern Moreton Bay

Starting in Loganholme, the Southern Moreton Bay tourist drive takes you through scenic Mt Cotton, Victoria Point, Cleveland, Wellington Point and Manly before finishing in Wynnum. Perfect for anyone wanting to cover the coastal villages of Southern Moreton Bay.

23. The pooch is always welcome

With plenty of dog-friendly activities available, there is no reason not to bring your pup along for the trip. Walk along the bayside and let them play in Elanora Dog Park before heading to the dog-friendly markets. Finish the journey off with a coffee at  Frenchies Café , where all coffee and animal lovers are welcome.

24. Brunch like a local

Start the day right with a delicious breakfast using fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. Try  Rabbit Hole Café  at Wynnum for its delectable all-day menu or  Frankie’s Coffee Bar  for fresh-baked muffins and 5am starts. Venture to Manly and check out  Coopers Specialty Coffee  for lattes and sunrise views and  Groundhog Social  for breakfast dishes that look almost too pretty to eat. 

25. Experience the ultimate in waterfront dining 

Located within the Manly Harbour Village precinct,  Tide Wine Bar  is perched completely over the water, with one of the bayside's most remarkable views. Meals are served from breakfast through to dinner or you can enjoy a drink and tapas at Happy Hour in Tide’s relaxed, modern setting.  Manly Boathouse  is located on the eastern-most tip of Manly with uninterrupted views across the bay. It offers several dining experiences from fine dining in The Restaurant to drinks and snacks at The Bar to coffee and pastries or fish and chips at The Patio.

26. Kayak at Manly Harbour

Paddle around Manly Harbour or venture into the Moreton Bay Marine Park to explore the many islands of the bay. Keep your eyes peeled for the occasional dolphin or dugong that may cross your path. Download the  Marine Park User Guide  before you go for a safe and hassle-free day on the water.

The Ultimate Guide to Yacht Clubs in Brisbane

Bill Michaels

What are Yacht Clubs?

Yacht Clubs are social organizations created to bring together people who have a passion for yachting, sailing, and boating. They offer a wide range of activities, such as sailing lessons, racing, and social events. Yacht Clubs also provide opportunities for members to connect with like-minded people, share their experiences, and learn from each other.

The History of Yacht Clubs

The first yacht clubs were established in the 1700s in Europe, mainly in the United Kingdom. These clubs were exclusive, members-only organizations for the elite. However, over time, yacht clubs became more inclusive, and their focus shifted from social status to the love of sailing and yachting.

In Australia, the first yacht club was established in Sydney in 1856. Since then, yacht clubs have become an integral part of Australian culture, and today, there are over 400 registered yacht clubs across the country.

The Wynnum/Manly/Lota Foreshores is part of the Bayside Parklands which is a 16 kilometre green ribbon of connected parks on Brisbane’s south western edge of Moreton Bay.

The parklands stretch from Whyte Island in the north, fringe the Wynnum/Manly/Lota Foreshores and include bushlands around Tingalpa and Lota Creeks in the south. These parklands conserve the remaining tidal wetland and bushland habitats in the area and shelter many wild life species. The foreshore parks overlook the tidal flats of Moreton Bay Marine Park, an important feeding and resting ground for migratory wading birds.

The Wynnum/Manly/Lota Foreshores extends from the mangrove edge of Elanora Park in Wynnum, south to the tidal mangrove swamp at the mouth of Lota Creek. Notable features along the foreshore include Elanora Park, Oyster Point, Greene Park, Pandanus Beach, Wynnum Jetty, Wynnum Wading Pool, Darling Point, Manly Beach, Norfolk Point, Manly Boat Harbour and Fig Tree Point. A ribbon of small parks runs along most of the length of the foreshore interrupted only by the Manly Boat Harbour.

Expansive views of Moreton Bay and its islands are afforded from most locations along the foreshore. Views extend from the Port of Brisbane at Fisherman’s Island, around to St Helena Island, the sandhills of Moreton Island, to Green Island and Stradbroke Island. The Wynnum/Manly/Lota Foreshores is popular for picnics and promenading, walking, cycling, fishing, boating, informal sports and games, swimming, windsurfing and birdwatching.

Elanora Park accommodates facilities and a large area of sporting fields for a number of sporting groups including Wynnum Rugby Union and the Wynnum Manly Bowls Club. The Wynnum Rugby fields are distinguished by a prominent timber clubhouse which was relocated from the Lytton Quarantine Station. A mangrove circuit boardwalk commences in Elanora Park and extends north through the mangrove swamp fringing the Park

A thin open grassed park clings to the foreshore between Elanora Park and the mouth of Wynnum Creek. The parkland north of the creek is distinguished by exuberant Moreton Bay Fig Trees. A concrete and stone slipway stands just north of the creek mouth and breakwater groins extend east to the north and south of the creek mouth. The Wynnum Fish Depot is accommodated just within the creek entrance and boats, including the Wynnum fishing fleet, are moored along the creek edges. Greene Park lies on the north bank of Wynnum Creek and is bounded by Fox Street,

Wynnum Creek and Moreton Bay and accommodates picnic tables and shade trees. Further south at the commencement of Wynnum Esplanade the Wynnum Jetty is a notable feature. A stone sea-wall supporting a fenced walkway, the jetty has allowed the flats to be reclaimed and a sandy beach, Pandanus Beach, has been formed to the north of the jetty with sand imported from Stradbroke Island. A tidal wading pool, Wynnum Wading Pool, stands within the park to the south of Wynnum Jetty.

The pool fills at high tide and seawater is retained by closing valves along the sea-wall.

A large sandstone monument accommodating three drinking fountains stands west of the Jetty. The monument is a memorial to W.H. Barnes, M.L.A., a former State Treasurer who represented the Bulimba and Wynnum electorates from 1901 to 1933.

Darling Point protects the small bay formed by the north breakwater of Manly Boat Harbour and affords views across Moreton Bay.

West of Darling Point, a finger of parkland is trapped between Lower and Upper Esplanade and accommodates a bandstand, picnic tables and shelters, BBQ facilities and a toilet block.

Manly Boat Harbour, the largest small-craft harbour in Queensland, was formed by reclamation activities and has developed into a safe harbour for boats. The Harbour accommodates marinas, docks and facilities for a number of clubs and organisations including the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, Wynnum Manly Yacht Club and the Coast Guard. The eastern point of the northern wave break of Manly Boat Harbour is known as Norfolk Point.

The foreshore from the mouth of Lota Creek to Manly Boat Harbour accommodates grassed open parkland with picnic tables, BBQ equipment and play areas. Fig Tree Point projects into Moreton Bay north of the mouth of Lota Creek and features a small elevated timber lookout platform affording extensive views across Moreton Bay. A concrete path commences north of the lookout at Fig Tree Point and continues along the foreshore edge diverting to follow the footpath west of Manly Boat Harbour and connecting back with the foreshore path beyond the Harbour and continuing north along the foreshore edge to Elanora Park.

A concrete slipway and a set of stone stairs immediately north of the creek mouth allows boat and pedestrian access to edge of the foreshore.

The mouth of Lota Creek accommodates areas of extensive mangrove swamps. Fragile narrow timber jetties jut out into the swamp from the north grassed edge of the creek. Mangrove swamp lines the foreshore north from the mouth of Lota Creek stopping a short distance south of the Manly Boat Harbour.

A number of concrete and stone groins of varying lengths and widths extend out into the flats along the length of the foreshore. A low stone retaining wall runs along most of the foreshore edge. The Manly Boat Harbour is sheltered to the south by breakwaters edged with a battered bank of loose rough hewn stones.

City Plan Interactive Mapping

In 1933 a souvenir booklet for Wynnum observed,

There is an irresistible appeal about the Wynnum district to the holiday-maker and tourist. Its healthy climate, proximity to Brisbane and splendid transport services are a few among the many advantages which the district enjoys.To these may be added the invigorating sea breezes, magnificent views of Moreton Bay, whose islands stand out like rare jewels in a rich setting, and the everyday work of country life, carried on in many instances in full view of the glistening waves as they break on the grey sands of the beaches. (Back to Wynnum)

The first European record of the Wynnum/Manly/Lota Foreshores and the Moreton Bay area occurred in 1770 when Captain James Cook named Moreton Bay and several features on the outer islands of the Bay, but sailed to the east thinking they were part of the mainland. In 1799, Matthew Flinders sailed inside the islands to the inner Bay but failed to notice the mouth of the Brisbane River.

From 1824 to 1839, the settlement at Moreton Bay was a penal colony and no free settlement was allowed. In 1842 this restriction was lifted and free settlement of the area began. In 1859 the area was surveyed by James Warner whose survey map of Wynnum shows the coast as composed of “mud and mangroves, covered at high tide”. The shoreline of the Bay has been considerably altered since European settlement of the area.

The first land sales in the area took place in 1860 at Lytton and around Waterloo Bay. Most of the initial settlement was concentrated in the Wynnum North region. Grazing, viticulture, farming and fishing were the primary occupations for these early settlers in the Wynnum/Manly/Lota area. In 1882, the first subdivision in the area took place at Manly Beach Estate and the first subdivision in Wynnum was the East Wynnum Estate in 1884. The area soon became popular with holiday makers and holiday homes were constructed along the Bay.

When land was subdivided in Lota the land along the foreshore was reserved for the esplanade. Farms and vineyards dominated the Lota area, supporting a range of crops and sugar, orchards and grazing. Closer settlement of the area began in the 1890s and by 1920s most of Lota had been developed. It has remained primarily a residential area but was a popular holiday spot in the 19th and 20th centuries. Until 1973, people could camp at the lower end of the Esplanade.

The arrival of the railway line to Cleveland in 1889 further boosted the popularity of the Wynnum/Manly/Lota area, particularly as a seaside resort. The many guesthouses and camping sites along with the provision of safe bathing areas and fishing and picnic spots were marked features of the Wynnum/Manly/Lota Foreshores. The Bay was well sheltered and favourable to boating activities.

Farming and fishing remained the primary occupations for residents of the area. Oyster leases were established along the foreshore and creeks. A flourishing fishing industry was partially responsible for the growth of Wynnum and the fishing fleet operating out of Wynnum Creek was the second largest in Queensland. In the 1930s the fleet consisted of 28 licensed fishing boats, employed 108 men, and landed some 2,000 tonnes of fish annually at the Wynnum Fish Depot. The Wynnum fishing fleet, based in Wynnum Creek, has along association with the area although its size has declined in recent years.

The boat slip at Lota Creek is thought to be the first slip built to service Lota House. Constructed in the late 19th century, the present slip is an upgrade of this earlier one. Lota House (1863) was the residence of William Duckett White whose property of 300 acres extended from the Lota foreshore to Manly Road. Lota House is now the Edward Marsden Tooth Memorial Home for the Aged and the oldest surviving house in the Bayside area. White grew sugar cane, grapes and ransome cattle. He is said to have patrolled the cliffs above the beach to prevent day trippers stealing oysters.

Endeavouring to continue to attract holiday makers and residents to the area, much attention was paid by the local authority to increasing the amenity of the foreshore area. Clearing of timber along the foreshore (where the esplanade parks are today) began in 1890 and bathing boxes were erected in the area of the present Manly Baths. The planting of shade trees along the Esplanade commenced in 1895.

The development of facilities included the establishment of the fish markets at Wynnum Creek and the construction of slips and moorings for boating and fishing. Public baths were constructed at Manly. A public bathing enclosure was constructed alongside Jetty No.1 at Wynnum Creek in 1891. In an effort to fund the improvements to the foreshore, in 1909 the Wynnum Council struck a special “Esplanade Improvement Rate” of a penny in the pound on all properties in the Shire. In 1913 the sea wall between Jetty No.2 and Darling Point was constructed. In 1915 a pavilion and kiosk were added to the Manly Jetty. The foreshore became known for their saltwater baths, play and picnic areas, shade trees and open grassed spaces.

By the late 1920s access to the area was possible by rail, bus or road, further increasing its popularity as a resort and also as a place of residence for commuters working in Brisbane.

During William Jolly’s term as Lord Mayor of Brisbane (1925- 1931), priority was given to the construction of a durable arterial road system, the acquisition of more of Brisbane’s scenic viewpoints for public use and purchase and improvement of public parks. Prompt attention was given to the improvement of the foreshores at Sandgate, Wynnum and Manly with a view to increasing their attraction as seaside resorts. Plans were formed to reclaim portions of the foreshores to increase the recreation areas available. The construction of good arterial roads and improvements to the jetties made the areas more accessible and attractive to the public.

During the 1930s Depression improvements on a large scale were carried out along the Esplanade by relief workers engaged on construction projects of civic improvement and beautification. This work included reclamation of 2.023 hectares (5 acres) of mudflats, formation of a drive to the Wynnum Jetty, construction of 610 metres (2000 feet) of stone revetment wall and the Wynnum Wading Pool. Opened in 1933, Wynnum Wading Pool was constructed on parkland reclaimed from the sea. A revetment wall was built and backfilled and an area left empty to create the tidal pool. The pool is a large oval shape measuring 128m x 54m with a depth at the centre of approximately 750mm. The pool has concrete walls and a sandy bottom and a system of automatic valves to maintain the water depth from the tide flow.

The stone sea-wall that supports the Wynnum Pier was another Depression era project. The wall allowed the flats to be reclaimed as parkland. A sandy beach was formed, Pandanus Beach, which was opened in 1987.

In 1958 work began on the Manly Boat Harbour dramatically altering the environment of Manly’s coastline. Protective wave break walls were built to the north and south and gradual dredging took place between them. Dredging and land reclamation developed it into a safe haven for boats. The dredged soil was used to form the parks and parking areas adjoining the Harbour.

In 2000 the eastern end of the northern wave break of Manly Boat Harbour was gazetted as Norfolk Point in honour of Lieutenant Matthew Flinders who in the sloop Norfolk explored and mapped Moreton Bay in July 1799. Greene Park, on the north bank of Wynnum Creek, is named for a prominent Wynnum family. The Greenes operated a timber yard and John Greene was a builder and sawmiller.

His sons were building contractors in Wynnum and built most of the early buildings. They also built and operated the Star Theatre which burned down in 1959. Sam Greene published the Waterloo Bay Leader, was elected alderman in 1913 and is well remembered in the Wynnum and Manly areas. His son John was the last mayor of Wynnum and second Lord Mayor of Brisbane.
