Located on the eastern side of Moreton Bay lies the
beautiful Moreton Island. Known as the Gem of Southeast Queensland this island
is just the right place for an enjoyable day trip or an exciting family
vacation. As it’s within the city limits of Brisbane it’s used as a weekend
getaway for those living in the city and also for those who are just passing
by. Camping and four wheel driving is what most of the people plan on doing but
if you are going there for the first time then make sure that you have the
necessary permits. Since 1966 almost 98 percent of the island is contained
within the Moreton Island National Park and is managed by the Queensland Park
and wildlife service. This has been done to preserve the unique biodiversity of
the place and also to make sure that the island doesn’t get affected by the
thousands of tourists who visit and retain its natural beauty and the local
flora and fauna get a chance to have a healthy growth.

tobogganing and in Moreton Island Mt Tempest will challenge you with its
height. You can gather speed as you slide down from the top on a sand board
that is only five millimetres thick and reach around 70 kilometres per hour.

miss.
