Escape to an Island Paradise

If you're looking for a day trip from Brisbane, there are a couple of beautiful islands easily reachable from the city. North Stradbroke Island (Straddie to the locals) is just off the coast and is known for its dolphins, whales, kangaroos, and koalas..
The Quandamooka people are the Traditional Owners of this island, which is packed with hiking trails, beaches, and campgrounds where you can connect with nature. The ferry takes around 50 minutes, with multiple departures daily..
The sandy Moreton Island offers a more remote experience. Most visitors book a 4WD tour, take their own car and camp in the national park, or stay at Tangalooma Resort as there is no public transport available on the island. Further north, Bribie Island is the only Moreton Bay island you can drive to, with a large national park and plenty of restaurant and accommodation options in town..
