North Stradbroke Island / Minjerribah
Located off the coast of Brisbane, it has been described by visitors as Noosa and Byron Bay rolled into one! There are miles of soft white sand beaches, perched lakes, gorges, dunes, untamed bushland and scenic cliff tops where you could very well spot whales enjoying the warm seas.
If you haven’t been here before you are in for a real treat that will leave you yearning to return.
