Bee Gees Way

A tribute to Redcliffe's world-famous pop group – the Bee Gees

>> https://www.moretonbay.qld.gov.au/beegeesway/



A tribute to Redcliffe's world-famous pop group – the Bee Gees

In the late 1950s, three young brothers living on the Redcliffe Peninsula gathered around a microphone and for the first time performed using a name now famous around the globe.

Calling themselves the Bee Gees, the Moreton Bay Region is where it all started for the group, with the brothers signing their first music contract on the kitchen table of their Redcliffe home.

Over the next five decades Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb would take their place among the world's greatest recording artists, performing and writing some of pop music's biggest hits.

The Moreton Bay Region is home to Bee Gees Way, a walkway that honours the world famous pop group. 

Located off Redcliffe Parade, Bee Gees way is a multi-media celebration of the Gibb brothers' phenomenal career and their links to Redcliffe.

Free and open every day and night, Bee Gees way has been developed in conjunction with Barry Gibb and features:

    A life-size statue of the brothers as young boys in Redcliffe, complete with bare feet as requested by Barry Gibb
    More than 60 captioned photographs and 13 album covers from across the band's career
    Personal stories and reflections by Barry Gibb
    A 70-metre mural featuring artwork of Barry, Robin, Maurice and Andy Gibb.
    A new statue of the Bee Gees from the 'One Night Only' era
    Seating featuring lyrics of Bee Gees songs
    A copy of the contract they signed with Bill Goode and Bill Gates in 1959
    A 5.3 square metre video screen showing exclusive interviews with Barry Gibb and never before seen home movie footage, along with Bee Gees songs
    Light shows set to music (every night at 7pm, 7.30pm, 8pm, 8.30pm, 9pm, 9.30pm)

The Bee Gees Way photo wall comprises section eras of the Bee Gees' career:

The latest additions to Bee Gees way were officially opened by Barry Gibb on September 11, 2015

Would suggest an anti-clockwise 696 loop from the station to Redcliffe rsl.
Gives a good scenic beach tour of woody point and margate beach etc

There is a 696 counter clockwise that departs Kippa-Ring at 11.29am and gets to Redcliffe (jetty) at around 11.53am.  So that is quite reasonable as an alternate.
