Theres a wading pool at Wynnum right next to the beach, that is used quite regularly for boats, ive used my rc ele boat and sail boat in it, but decided to put it next door in the sheltered part of the ocean water.
My father was into model boat making in a big way for such a long time. I'm pretty sure the club was called SSS Model Boat Club and they were situated on private land at Mango Hill on the northside of Brisbane.
I think they have now moved across the road to the lake in "Northern Lakes (modern manufactured utopia for the masses)", try contacting the Northern Lakes Information Centre ... They might be able to help, seen them there most Saturday mornings when I have had
Close Mr Flibble,Dont mean to poke you in the eye but the area is called "North Lakes" 20 min from the CBD heading north from Brisbane up the Bruce take the mango hill turn off you cant miss it I used to live near there when it was just a new estate
yes it is north lakes, i lived there up untill 5 months ago exactly 7 roundabouts from the lake LOL. as normadic69 said "heading north from Brisbane up the Bruce take the mango hill turn off" onto Anzac Ave (heading towards Redcliffe not Kalangur), then go to the 3rd set of lights and turn left into Discovery Drive, follow it down to the round about and the lake is in front of you.
the only boaters i ever seen there were old blokes with there electric sail boats but, and IIRC it was almost every saturday morning.
My son and I run our SV27's in the lakes at Springfield, usually early in the morning when there are not too many around and the lake is mirror smooth. Being electric it don't cause any concerns with noise or pollution.
there is a boat club that is connected to the carbrook golf club near redland bay just off the redland bay benleigh road not too sure what they call them selves i have seen boats there and they have a club house and a wharf type of setup on a lake from the old sand farm at carbrook
sorry i can't be of more help maybe ring up the golf club
