Compass Court was completed in the mid-1980s as part of the first stage of the prestigious Raby Bay Canal Estate and is located closer to all the local conveniences than other streets in Raby Bay. There are a dozen fantastic harbour side restaurants an easy 3 minute stroll from our front door at number 6 Compass Court and a 5 minute walk to the town centre of Cleveland or the train station for commuting to the Brisbane CBD (approx. 50 min trip). Being a cul-de-sac means only local traffic uses the street. Homes and gardens are well established and many have been renovated in recent times. Neighbours are friendly and there are always neighbourhood parties and BBQs around Christmas which is lovely.

Wide paved footpaths lead you on a 10 min walk with the dog to the Raby Bay Foreshore Park with its off-leash dog friendly beach and many acres of parklands. There are playgrounds for the kids, lots of shady trees, picnic shelters with BBQs for family celebrations and amenities so you can stay all day if you choose. There are several sandy beaches protected by rock groins so swimming, sun bathing and fishing are all popular activities. A canoe and paddle board hire business and coffee van are on site most days. Sea views from the park to the north go on forever and the cooling sea breezes make for a wonderfully relaxing visit.

A northerly aspect is the most desirable in this area for shelter from hot summer sun and prevailing southeasterly winds while allowing warm winter sun and light in when it is most welcome. 6 Compass Court faces north to the water at the rear where a deepwater canal provides the ideal boat mooring and direct access to the beautiful waters of Moreton Bay. There are no bridges so masted sailing boats are fully catered for. 6 Compass Court has a 10m long x 3m wide pontoon with good all tide access and no restrictions on beam or draft.

With everything we need for a relaxed and care-free lifestyle within easy reach of our doorstep AND with the boat at the backdoor ready to enjoy the sailing,fishing and boating adventures of Moreton Bay AND with SE Qld's long summers and mild winters, we think we have discovered one of the best streets in Australia!
