Norfolk Island Pine Trees, Cleveland, Heritage pine trees in Cleveland, Australia

The Norfolk Island Pine Trees are a heritage-listed group of trees at 127 Shore Street North in Cleveland, in the City of Redland. They stand on part of allotment 8 of section 6, Town of Cleveland, land alienated from the Crown in 1853, and were added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 November 2003.

The Norfolk Island pines at 127 Shore Street North were most likely planted in the early 1860s by Francis Edward Bigge, who spent an estimated £10,000 over two decades promoting Cleveland as a rival port to Brisbane. The trees stand on part of allotment 8, section 6, land alienated from the Crown in 1853. The group was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 November 2003.

The trees served as reliable reference points for fishermen when poor weather made returning to shore difficult. They were indispensable landmarks for the local maritime community.

The trees are easily accessible along Shore Street North and serve as good reference points when exploring the area. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when you can clearly see the structure and height of the specimens.

The trees stand on part of allotment 8 of section 6, Town of Cleveland, land alienated from the Crown in 1853, before Francis Bigge is thought to have planted them in the early 1860s. Bigge, a Brisbane Valley squatter and later Queensland Legislative Council member, spent an estimated £10,000 over two decades trying to make Cleveland the port of Moreton Bay.
