Manly Boat Harbour

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain


The jewel in the crown of Wynnum-Manly is the Manly Boat Harbour. This impressive harbour is the largest small-craft harbour in Queensland and is a safe haven for hundreds of crafts. It was established in 1958 and in 1964 the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron moved its clubhouse to the harbour. The stone breakwaters at the harbour entrance provide protection and a handy place to fish. At the point (end of the bitumen road beside the Wynnum-Manly Trailer Boat club) is the Rotary Club directory plaque. This is a great guide to the surrounding areas and Islands.- Thanks to the Wynnum Manly Heritage Trail
