We had very little phone coverage on the island, so we spent 5 days pretty switched off from the outside world (and loved it).

Moreton Island (Mulgumpin) is an island on the eastern side of Moreton Bay on the coast of South East Queensland. It is the third largest sand island in the world and 98% of the island is national parks. We drove onto the Micat ferry at the Port of Brisbane, caravan and all, and got to the island 90 minutes later. The ferry ride was super smooth with great conditions. We even saw some humpback whales.  

We found our camp spot and quickly set up before venturing down to the water. It was picture perfect and we all felt so lucky to be there.

We explored the island from top to bottom. Majority of the tracks on the island are only accessible by 4WD, so I was very thankful for Stephen’s driving skills and our capable car. We saw so much wildlife and the bird life was incredible! Sugar gliders, possums, a bandicoot, humpback whales, dolphins, stingray, mantaray, sea turtles, starfish, curlews (the most interesting birds I’ve ever seen!). Harriet made friends with a beautiful butterfly too.

Below are some snapshots of different things around the island. The wrecks, Tailor Bight, Honeymoon Bay, Champagne falls, Cape Moreton Lighthouse, Castaways cafe, the Blue Lagoon, Little and Big Sandhills, Gutter Bar, Tangalooma wrecks.
