Description of Moreton Island National Park
Moreton Island is 40km offshore from
Brisbane. The island can be reached by
barge or boat. Barges for vehicles and passengers run daily. If you are not taking a vehicle, choose your island destination point and book the
barge from the corresponding mainland departure point.
Moreton Island features crystal clear creeks and lagoons, coastal heath, rocky headlands, abundant wildflowers, tall sand dunes, an historic lighthouse, ruins of coastal forts and
miles of sandy beaches. Most of
Moreton Island is both national park and recreation area, which covers the national park and beaches to low water mark. Tidal wetlands and waters around the island are protected as part of Moreton Bay Marine Park. The sheltered bay waters are home to various marine animals. Dugong feed on its seagrass communities while migratory and resident shorebirds feed and roost on the island's beaches. Humpback whales can be seen from Cape Moreton during their migration from June to November. Indigenous cultural heritage includes shell middens that are evidence of thousands of years of Aboriginal occupation. Ruins of coastal defence bases from World War II are a reminder of
Australia's involvement in world conflict.
