Moreton Island, Australia

I had to take a day to visit this place because it is rare that swimming in the Australian ocean is not fraught with potential danger or death. I wasn’t disappointed one bit. The island is located off the coast of south-east Queensland and is relatively tiny.  It is only 20 miles long and 5 miles wide.  Nearly all of this island is sand so there are no roads.  Consequently, 4wd is the only way of getting around.   People visit for all of the recreational activities which are available here.

Beach scene is relatively quiet here.
Great water temps too.  The temperature was a comfortable 82 degrees, or 28 celsius.
These sandy cliffs were apparent only because the vegetation had slid into the sea.
Coastline shot taken from the small boat I was able to charter in order to get to the island.
Great sign but I didn’t want to spend the time in order to check out the Smoking Management Plan.  So you’re good to smoke and get loaded here, but please no pistachios or nacho chips.

Next stop for me will be the big cities on the eastern coast of this so far incredible continent.
