Bayview Conservation Area in Redlands Coast is an award-winning outdoor recreation reserve. At almost 1000 hectares of open forest, Melaleuca wetlands and more, the reserve offers the perfect setting for exhilarating outdoor adventures, including mountain biking, horse riding, trail running and nature walks in an inspiring bushland setting. Due to this diversity, the reserve also provides a home to iconic Redlands Coast fauna such as owls, koalas, goannas, glossy black-cockatoos, and wallabies.
