Moreton Island
Moreton Island is one of the largest sand islands in the world and forms much of the eastern side of Moreton Bay. Situated 40km's from Brisbane, the island is 38km long, and 9km across at its widest point and covers 185 sq. km. Moreton Island is also part of the southern Queensland sand mass which includes the Cooloola coast, and islands of Fraser, Bribie and North Stradbroke.
The island consists entirely of sand apart from a small area of sandstone and Rhyolite at Cape Moreton. Several different dune types, of differing ages are recognised by their form and soil development. Mt. Tempest is considered the highest coastal sand dune in the world at 285m.
One of the striking features of Moreton Island is the bare sand areas. The northern west coastline is dominated by a large sand-slip named "Yellow Patch" and the bare sand hills behind Tangalooma are a major tourist attraction. Moreton Island supports a number of habitats - beach and dune communities, the rocky headland, lakes, streams, sedge and paperbark swamps, Banksia heathlands, open woodlands, forests, mangroves and salt marshes.
The island is home to a variety of wildlife including birds such as the red-capped dotterel and thousands of waders which live along the beaches and in the wetlands and scrub. Most of Moreton Island has been declared a National Park to conserve and protect the natural areas, wildlife and historical sites and is also a recreation area managed for public use and enjoyment.
