North Stradbroke & Moreton Island...... anyone ?

[04OFF]

I don't have any trip dates set yet , but Im posting this on the off chance, anyone would be interested in a future weekend trip to North Stradbroke Island, with a day over on Moreton Island ?

Its not the cheapest trip so certainly won't be for everyone, its a lot to spend on just a weekend, but our family have spent more $$ having less fun doing other stuff, Moreton Island (if you haven't been) has been compared to Fraser island by many people, and Straddie is also a great place, in fact its the sand island i choose to visit most.




Moreton Island is expensive to get to at the best of times (about $265 return, car+ family of 4), to get to straddie costs about $135 return, but there is a car ferry between straddie and moreton, so if you are already on straddie,you can take your car and family over to Moreton for a day for $110 return (+ permit cost)


So doing it this way, the "total" ferry cost for both islands is cheaper than just going to Moreton ($245), spend a day on Moreton Island and you get a day on North Stradbroke for free, there is other small bonuses to doing it this way, but ill see if anyones interested bofore going into that.

In that case ... plan away ... depending on when, we should be right.

Yeh good stuff Scotty, so thats "definitely maybe" for you then (lol)



If we can get a few definite cars together, and agree to at least all do the trip from Straddie to Moreton at the same time, im pretty sure ill be able to get us private ferry crossings to and from Moreton outside the normal timetable.


The great thing if we can obtain a early private crossing ,is this would get us over to Moreton before "any" cars travelling over that day (inc the only other car ferry, the Micat) and leave us last to get off the Island, thus giving us more time over on Moreton for our $$

Excellent Tim,

Ill see how many people we get interested over the next week or so, then make sure we all talk about a future weekend date/s that suits everyone !

The date is our only issue - right date (which we'll sort no doubt), then we are in!!
