Moreton Island situated on the eastern
side of Moreton Bay is a beautiful sandy island which is on the coast of South
East Queensland in Australia. As it comes within the city limits of Brisbane,
capital of the state of Queensland people use it as a weekend gateway and for
people who don’t want to spare the entire weekend, can go out just for a day
and come back without having to spend the night there. This island is gazetted
into four localities - Bulwer, Cowan Cowan and Kooringal, but the bulk of the
island comes within the locality of Moreton Island.
This island was named by Mathew Flinders,
but the natives used to call in Moorgumpin. This island is the traditional home
of the Ngugi people and the shell middens indicate Aboriginal occupancy for at
least 2000 years. When one goes to the museum he can get the opportunity to
relate the past with the present and can enjoy the travel back in time. Since
1966, 98% of the total island comes within the jurisdiction of the Moreton Island
national park Camping which has a World
Conservation Union category of all. This park is now being managed by the
Queensland parks and wildlife service. The complete sandy terrain of this
