Redcliffe Convict Heritage Trail Historical Site Locations

Moreton Bay Regional Council provides GIS data for the Redcliffe Convict Heritage Trail, marking Queensland's first European encampment from 1824-1825. The dataset includes historical site locations and descriptions, sourced from the Redcliffe Historical Society. It is available via an ArcGIS REST API and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Map historical site locations from the trail for geospatial visualization and analysis.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of stops along the Redcliffe Peninsula for heritage tourism planning.
• Integrate trail location data with other historical GIS layers to study early European settlement patterns.

Strengths

• Data is curated with support from the authoritative Redcliffe Historical Society.
• Provides a direct digital mapping of a specific historical event from 1824-1825.
• Maintained and updated by the official City of Moreton Bay's Data Hub.

Limitations

• The dataset lacks explicit quantitative metrics like row counts or defined feature columns.
• Scope is narrowly focused on a single heritage trail, limiting broader historical analysis.
• Primary data format is an ArcGIS service, which may require specific GIS software to access fully.
