Scott Hillier’s Bribie Island: A Paradise for Coastal Living
Nestled along the serene coast of Queensland, Bribie Island is more than just a beautiful getaway—it’s a vibrant ecosystem and an angler’s dream. For seasoned fisherman and outdoor enthusiast, Scott Hillier, this stunning natural paradise is one of his favourite spots, brimming with opportunity for exploration and relaxation.
A Marine Wonderland
What makes Bribie Island so special? According to Hillier, it’s the diversity of its marine life. “It has such a healthy ecosystem,” he shares. “With big waterways and mangrove-lined rivers it lends itself to so many different species.” Depending on the season, says Hillier, you can catch bream in winter or chase whiting and flathead in summer. And for those who enjoy a different type of seafood, the mud crabbing is “second to none.”
The best part? You don’t need to venture far to experience this natural bounty. With many properties—including the sensational current Mater Prize Home—offering waterfront access, Hillier explains, “You can have a crab pot or be fishing off your own deck, catching a feed of seafood.” Whether you’re an avid angler or simply enjoy a peaceful boat ride, Bribie Island delivers an unbeatable lifestyle on the water.
Unforgettable Encounters with Nature
For Hillier, the magic of Bribie Island extends beyond fishing. One of his most memorable mornings included sightings of dolphins, turtles, and even a pod of whales, all within a few hours. “We turned the boat off, and the whales came over to us. It was amazing,” he recalls. The island’s rich marine life makes every outing a potential adventure.
Hillier emphasises that timing and tides are key to fully enjoying the experience. But whether you’re fishing, boating, or wildlife watching, Bribie Island offers something extraordinary for everyone.
Coastal Living at Its Best
What truly sets Bribie Island apart is its accessibility. “To have your own boat on your own pontoon is very special,” says Hillier. Without the hassle of towing and launching, spontaneous outings become effortless. Whether it’s a quick cruise or a leisurely day on the water, the convenience of living right on the coast is a game-changer.
But the island isn’t just about the water. Hillier highlights the vast inland tracks and opportunities for four-wheel driving, especially with the Land Rover Discovery included in the Mater Prize Home package. “The Land Rover Discovery just opens up all your options,” he notes. Pair this with the luxury of the Mercedes-Benz C 300 and a waterfront property, and you have the ultimate island lifestyle.
A Life-Changing Prize
Winning the Mater Prize Home isn’t just about acquiring a stunning property; it’s about stepping into a dream, and a new way of life. “Living on the water in a home of this calibre a couple of beautiful luxury cars and a boat… it would change your life,” says Hillier. From morning coffee with a waterfront view to spontaneous fishing trips and beach adventures, Bribie Island and this stunning prize home package really have it all.
As Hillier sums it up, “This place is very, very special.” With its unique blend of natural beauty, convenience, and adventure, it’s easy to see why Bribie Island is one of his favourite places.
