Six family-friendly Moreton Bay road trip activities
Here are six ways to make the most of time with the family in South East Queensland’s Moreton Bay region during the September school holidays.
1. Pick your own strawberries
The strawberry season is in full swing, and Oasis Berries (on the road into Bribie Island) is a family favourite. From 20 September through to 6 October, families can pick their own fresh strawberries daily.
Forty dollars secures a box big enough to feed five – and yes, you can eat as you pick. There’s also strawberry ice cream, chocolate-dipped strawberries, cupcakes, juice, and even a special treasure hunt for kids.
2. Outdoor adventures for all
The Caboolture Region Environmental Education Centre (CREEC) in Burpengary offers one of the region’s best inclusive playgrounds, designed for active, sensory, musical and imaginative play.
Discover the nocturnal room, interactive educational displays, and a native stingless beehive inside the centre. With free entry and a focus on inclusivity, it’s a space where all kids can join in and explore.
3. Step back in time
At the Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology in Caboolture, families can journey through a million years of world history.
During the September school holidays, kids can take part in Viking Family Fun Week – from archery and runic carving to archaeological digs, crafts, games and quizzes.
4. A nourishing local lunch
Just across the road from CREEC, Project Salubrious serves flavour-packed, nutrient-rich meals crafted from organic and spray-free local produce.
Run by chef Kurt Lovell – formerly of Hamilton Island’s Qualia – the cafe has been recognised as a Best of Queensland Experience and is loved for its wholesome, gluten-free, grain-free menu.
5. Whale watching season finale
September marks the tail end of whale watching season, and Moreton Bay is one of the best places to see these giants of the deep. Brisbane Whale Watching, led by Captain Kerry Lopez, departs from Redcliffe Jetty and offers families the chance to spot mothers and calves, while learning about the bay’s role as a whale nursery.
6. Light up Instagram with sunflowers selfies
Each September, Teembin Pines Farm opens its gates and invites the community to wander through golden rows of sunflowers, pick a bunch to brighten their day, and capture photos among the blooms. For the farmers, it’s a simple way of sharing joy and sunshine. But the tradition carries a deeper purpose, too.
Planting sunflowers draws bees and other pollinators to the land — helping local ecosystems flourish, supporting biodiversity, enriching soil health, and contributing to a stronger environment for generations to come.
