Moreton Bay and Islands
“There’s nothing to do in Brisbane” – If that’s what you want to do!
Brisbane’s beautiful Moreton Bay, and the islands within it, create a remarkable setting for a range of wonderful things to see and do, right on Brisbane’s doorstep.
With the islands forming a natural barrier to the wider ocean, the sheltered bay is host to incredible natural displays of animals and environment, as well as the communities themselves that have developed in and around the area since Brisbane’s colonial birth. The region is rich in environmental, historical, and cultural significance.
