Moreton Island(Mulgumpin) is the third largest sand island in the world and located only 40 kilometres north-east of Brisbane. The Island consists entirely of sand, apart from a small area of sandstone and rhyolite at Cape Moreton, which has built up over the past 400,000 years. It is also home to the highest coastal sand dune in the world, Mount Tempest, which at 285 metres provides 360 degrees of breath-taking views. Moreton Island is one of the least polluted and least disturbed coastal environments along the Queensland/New South Wales coast.
Big and Little Sandhills
These sand hills are all amazing because they a free from vegetation. The wind shaped dunes of the Big Sandhills rise up to 60 metres above their base.
Blue Lagoon
Unlike most freshwater lakes, which are fed by local freshwater streams or rivers, Blue Lagoon is filled from rain water which simply soaks into the sandy soil.
Cape Moreton Lighthouse
The iconic red and white banded Cape Moreton Lighthouse is located on the Northern point of Moreton Island and was the first lighthouse to be built in Queensland.
Dolphin Lake
A lake on Moreton Island has found a new lease of life after a group of Chinese visitors to Tangalooma Island Resort, realised it resembled the shape of a wild dolphin.
Harper's Rock
Situated at the base of Cape Moreton on the eastern side of Moreton island, lies Harper's Rock, a strange cluster of red sand formations.
Just a 75 minute ferry trip from Brisbane.
Moreton Island (Mulgumpin) is 40km offshore from Brisbane. The island can be reached by ferry, barge or boat. Barges and ferries for vehicles and passengers run daily. Extra services operate in school holidays and on long weekends.
