Buckleys Hole is a productive pond, at the tip of South Point, in the Bongaree suburb of Bribie Island, near the
corner of McDonald St and The Boulevard, Bribie Island.
Walk right to get to the hide and continue along the track to the beach. Return along the beach. A good area for Buff-banded Rail. The beach attracts
many waders.
Directions:
To reach South Point, turn right after crossing the bridge to Bribie Island
(this involves going further on to a roundabout and doubling back). Then
travel a couple of kilometres alongside Pumicestone Passage on Welsby Parade and Torobul St. Turn right on McDonald St – there is a sign – and the
Boulevard at the end is right in front of Bucklye’s Hole.
A Laughing Gull was found here in March 2002 south of the car park at Scoopy’s and the jetty and was back in 2003.
Red Beach (Brisbane UBD: 63 G6) is at the very end of the Island, just
before South Point. It is an area of lowland forest and seems to be a bit of
a trap. Fariy Gerygone and Superb Fruit-Dove have been seen there. To get there
do not turn off to Buckley’s hole, just drive straight on to the end of Toorbul
St, then follow the signs.
