This is being centred on the Redlands<br />
area which is adjacent to the south-eastern<br />
suburbs of Brisbane. The speed event<br />
for the National Meeting will be held at<br />
our hillclimb at Mt Cotton which is in the<br />
Redlands area and is governed by the<br />
Redlands City Council.<br />
Those of you travelling from/with our country Chapters<br />
may like to plan to extend your trip to include some time<br />
to visit some of the highlights of the Redlands area, the<br />
top of the ‘must visit’ list being the Bay Islands, particularly<br />
North Stradbroke Island. All of these are easily accessible<br />
by car ferry or water taxi from Cleveland, the ‘city centre’<br />
of the Redlands. The “Explore the Redlands” page of<br />
the Redland City Council website will assist you in your<br />
planning.<br />
