International students in the Redlands
Recreation and Lifestyle
The Redlands offers the best of both study and recreation…as well the Australian way of life.
The farming areas of the hinterland give way to the shores of Moreton Bay - a vast waterway with 365 islands. The largest of these is North Stradbroke Island, which is just a half-hour trip across the bay from Cleveland, Redlands’ civic centre.
North Stradbroke Island is one of Australia’s premier tourist destinations, with its main attractions being beauty and simplicity. Here you'll find sun, surf, spectacular sandy beaches and nature at its best, including whales, dolphins, turtles, manta rays, kangaroos, possums and a great variety of birds.
The Redlands has many accessible parks, sporting clubs and facilities, jetties and marinas, as well as a full range of shopping facilities, art galleries and museums.
The Redlands is home to many koalas. Their protection is a top priority for us. The Redlands is a place where you can be close to nature but with all the facilities you need for modern living.
For the best all-round education for students of any age, the Redlands is the place to be.
