North Lakes, Queensland, residents will have a chance to mingle with Australian pop royalty when the Bee Gees’ only remaining member, Barry Gibb, visits the Moreton Bay area later this year.
The Gibbs brothers, who grew up in Redcliffe, were immortalised by the establishment of a public walkway in their honour.
Known as Bee Gees Way, it opened in 2013 and includes a mural of the Bee Gees, 13 album covers, 60 photographs and a life-size statue. Poster printing featuring the group is also on display.
The mayor of the Moreton Bay Region, Allan Sutherland, said Barry was invited back for the official unveiling of the latest additions.
He said Barry and his brothers Maurice and Robin, who were among the most successful recording artists in the world, first performed around a microphone as the Bee Gees in Redcliffe.
Bee Gees Way is being developed in several stages and, according to the mayor, the latest work will elevate the attraction to new heights.
He said Barry had been involved heavily throughout the design and development process, which added to the unique characteristics on offer.
Barry Gibb said he was looking forward to reliving childhood memories in Redcliffe and sharing the attraction's latest additions with community members.
The official opening of the latest additions to Bee Gees Way will take place on September 11th during the Redcliffe Festival celebrations. The major annual event is held from August 29th to September 13th.
