Those who visit Brisbane for the first time remain
really amazed by the fact that this bustling metropolitan city has within its
city limits one of the most enchanting islands. Moreton Island, on the eastern
side of the Moreton Bay is just 58 kilometres from Brisbane and if you opt to
go by ferry then you will not take more than an hour. For the local people this
is a great weekend getaway and for the tourists it is a wonderland which can’t
be missed if you are visiting Australia.
This beautiful island used to be the home of the Ngugi
tribe before being discovered by Captain James Cook and subsequently by Matthew
Flinders. The island covers an area of approximately 186 square kilometres and
has only four small settlements. More than 95 percent of the island is
contained within a national park and so the natural beauty and the unique
biodiversity has been well preserved and enjoyed till now. Though many people
opt for a day tour; a 2 day tour is better to see all the attractions, both
natural as well as man – made.
