Moreton Island

Another fantastic day or weekend trek from Queensland's capital city, Brisbane. Only a short trip by ferry and you're surrounded by beautiful beaches, wonderful scenery and great beach driving.

Hi David,Yeap from one of the shops, $80/ 20litres for diesel. How long you going for? If for a week, fill up before you go and take an extra 40 litres with you. I think limit is around 30litres can't remeber.

I remeber you can buy fuel from MICAT shop. If you bring back the drum you get $35 dollars return. Don't forget your jiggle hose or siphon hose.

cheers i hope this helps.

Where are you planning to camp????

Thanks for the info,
We are booked on the 8:30am barge in the morning, camping in the North Eastern zone.
Its been a while since i have been to the Island. Can you buy fire wood from the barge?

Cheers

not that i can recall, i went via the kooringal trader via stradbroke

this year we will be going via micat.

i know you can buy it on the island, my suggestion would be to buy it on the mainland and cart it over, but if you want to support the islanders, go for it.

can't remember prices sorry.
