Osprey House Environment Centre

Escape into the peaceful beauty of Osprey House Environment Centre, where the winding Pine River meets a landscape of mangroves, saltmarsh, and native forest. Just a short drive from the city, this hidden gem invites visitors to slow down, explore and connect with the incredible natural environments of Moreton Bay.

Follow the gentle boardwalks through the mangroves, pause at the bird hide, or take in sweeping views from the riverside platforms. With every step, there's something to discover – watch wading birds forage in the shallows, spot birds of prey overhead, or look up for koalas resting among the eucalypts. It's a place where nature reveals itself in quiet, unforgettable moments.

Inside the centre, interactive displays bring the environment to life, offering hands-on ways to learn about mangroves, marine life, and the region's unique ecosystems. For a truly special experience, keep an eye on the resident eastern ospreys, whose nesting platform and live-stream footage offer a rare glimpse into their daily lives.

Pack a picnic or make use of the barbecue facilities and settle in for a relaxed afternoon surrounded by nature. With free entry and open outdoor spaces to explore at your own pace, Osprey House is the perfect place to unwind, learn and be inspired by the natural world.
