On the road to Redcliffe in QLD Australia lies a town named after the mango trees that line Anzac Avenue. Formally known since the 1950s as Mango hill, the QLD suburb which lies in the vicinity of North Lakes, was officially defined in the 1980s. It is now a great small suburb which lies a short 30 minutes to Brisbane airport and 55 minutes to the beautiful beaches, which line the prestige Sunshine Coast. Whether you are considering to buy to live in the suburb or buy as an investment, this area has plenty of potential – offering everything it can to the community.
