Whale watching
Enjoy the majestic beauty of these fascinating creatures as you cruise in comfort
through the beautiful waters off Moreton Bay from June through to November with
Moreton Bay Whale Watching.
Charter Fishing Trips
Moreton Bay and the outer reefs have some wonderful fishing, ranging from exciting game
fishing to chasing pearl perch and snapper. A number of charter boats operate out of the Newport Waters Marina.
Australia Zoo
A great place to visit is the
Australia Zoo which is just over 30 minutes away. See
crocodiles being fed, feed kangaroos and get close to many Australian and overseas animals.
This is a must see venue where you could easily spend a full day.
The Gold Coast
Just over 1 hour to the south lies the Gold Coast, stretching from Surfers Paradise to the northern
New South Wales coast. Attractions on the Gold Coast include
Dreamworld,
Movieworld,
Seaworld and
the Currumbin Bird Sanctuary.
Moreton Island
For those with 4WD vehicles,
Moreton Island is an experience that rivals Fraser Island to the north for its natural beauty.
Visit Cape Moreton Lighthouse and drive down the thirty or so miles along eastern beach and have a picnic at beautiful
North Point. Accommodation on the island can be arranged, and for those without vehicles, tours are available.
The Sunshine Coast
Under 1 hour to the north lies the Sunshine Coast, stretching from Caloundra to Noosa Heads. Visit
UnderWater World at
Mooloolaba and watch the sharks and rays from the underwater tunnel. For lovers of tropical fruit, the
Big Pineapple
and the
Buderim Ginger Factory are well worth a visit.
Stradbroke Island
Located 30 km southeast of Brisbane, South and
North Stradbroke Islands and the historic settlements at
Dunwich and Amity Point have become day tripper locations for Brisbane people
wanting to escape from the city. The island is accessible by regular ferry services.
Brisbane City
Brisbane is Australia's largest city in the sub-tropics, enjoying an enviable climate of hot, brilliant summers
and clear, mild winters that makes it the ideal destination for visitors all year round. Shining glass towers stand side by side with
historic sandstone churches and the gleaming white stucco of the city's heritage colonial buildings.
