Summer Holiday In Brisbane Queensland
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, found only 70 km north of Brisbane, is reasonably commercialized, being easily accessed across a bridge from the mainland. It's got a wide range of accommodation, Campervan Hire Australia is a good way to see this part of the Earth. There also are good camping sites and high quality motels. There is an emphasis on caravan parks (the island has 5) and self-catering accommodation.
It's a sanctuary for those people hunting for relaxing activities, with a brilliant golf course as well as exceptional 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 great for sailing, canoeing and sailboarding. Here's a destination where folk can choose the proper environment: some areas of the island are developed while some of the others are quite undisturbed.
North & South Stradbroke Islands located only 30 km south-east of Brisbane, North and South Stradbroke Islands were separated from one another by a storm in 1896. They are preferred daytripper destinations for Brisbane residents, being only 13kms by ferry from the sea side suburbs of Cleveland and Redland Bay. Again the primary appeal of both islands is their unmarred beauty.
North Stradbroke Island is famous for its attractive white beaches which are perfect for walking, swimming and fishing. The island premier attraction is Bluelake Nationwide Park which is targeted on the intensly colored ‘Blue Lake’. Here bushwalkers and visitors can expect to see a selection of animals including swamp wallabies, skinks, ospreys, the mottled tree frog and if you are extraordinarily lucky golden wallabies.
