Summer Holiday In Brisbane Queensland

By Anton Maverick


Like all Australian cities, a lot of the appeal of Brisbane lies just outside the city boundaries. To the east and around Moreton Bay lie the tranquil daytripper islands, Bribie Island in the north, North and South Stradbroke Islands in the south, and Moreton Island in the middle. Each has its own appeal.

Bribie Island, located only 70 km north of Brisbane, is kind of commercialised, being easily reached across a bridge from the mainland. It has a wide variety of accommodation, Campervan Hire Australia is a great way to see this part of the world. There are also good camping sites and good quality motels. There's stress on caravan parks (the island has five) and self-catering accommodation.

It is a haven for those folks attempting to find relaxing activities, with an excellent golfing course as well as notable fishing. The angler can expect to catch flathead, whiting and tailor. The channel which lies to the south and west of the island is also ideal for sailing, canoeing and sailboarding. Here is a destination where people can select the appropriate environment: some areas of the island are developed while others are quite undisturbed.

North & South Stradbroke Islands found only 30 km south-east of Brisbane, North and South Stradbroke Islands were separated from each other by a hurricane in 1896. They're popular daytripper destinations for Brisbane residents, being only 13kms by ferry from the sea side suburbs of Cleveland and Redland Bay. Again the first appeal of both islands is their immaculate beauty.

North Stradbroke Island is known for its beautiful white beaches which are ideal for walking, swimming and fishing. The island premier attraction is Bluelake National Park which is centered on the intensly colored 'Blue Lake'. Here bushwalkers and visitors can expect to see a range of animals including swamp wallabies, skinks, ospreys, the mottled tree frog and if you are awfully lucky golden wallabies.
