Point and the island, the barge and ferry

routes between Cleveland and Dunwich,
and from Victoria Point, Redland Bay

and Macleay Island. The absence of

buildings and infrastructure in the views
to the Emerald Fringe means it has a
high aesthetic value. The Emerald Fringe

comprises diverse coastal eco systems

that include mixed woodlands with
beautiful scribbly gums and Bribie Island
pines, Curlew Creek with its six
mangrove species and the distinctive
red rocks that give the island its name,
Also, seen from within the place and
forming part of the aesthetic experience

of the place are the shore eco systems
including sandy beaches, the tidal reveal
of crabs and feeding shore birds, rocky
platforms and sea grass beds; the
wetlands; the modest roads and
pathways without kerbs or managed

lawn verges now uncommon in SE
Queensland; and the sandy beaches
with undeveloped public parklands
