Hays Inlet

Hays Inlet is a saltwater inlet off Bramble Bay in Queensland, Australia. The Brisway map reference is 420 L19. A mangrove forest is found in the inlet.[1]

Geography

The slender inlet forms the shape of the south-western Redcliffe suburb of Clontarf, and eastern Pine Rivers suburbs of Mango Hill and Griffin. The council boundary between these cities falls in the middle of the inlet. Hays Inlet turns into Saltwater Creek at Rothwell, carrying the city boundary along it.

South of Hays Inlet is Pine River which flows into Bramble Bay. The Houghton Highway and the Ted Smout bridges span Bramble Bay, just east of Hays Inlet.

The original Hornibrook Bridge has been removed with the sections of each end retained as recreational fishing areas.

Water quality

Green algae blooms have developed in Hays Inlet due to high nutrient concentrations.[1]
