          The third largest sand island in the world is Moreton Island in Queensland, just a ferry across from Brisbane on the MICat (about an hour or so ride). The island is as rough as Fraser Island, if not rougher in terms of amenities and terrain. There are a few accommodation options available on this island, such as Tangalooma Resort, beach cabins, beach houses or one may even go camping if looking for a bit of island adventure.

         At the island’s widest, it is about 10 kilometres and about 38 kilometres long. About 95 percent of the island is a preserved National Park. Really, this means that it is considered to be one special place on earth. A few attractions that make this worth visiting are: the famous Cape Moreton Lighthouse, Tangalooma Wrecks, highest dune Mount Tempest, Blue Lagoon freshwater lake, and really just the magnificent view from the island looking out to the sea is a view to behold and remember.

         Sand boarding is quite a popular activity, naturally, on this sand island. Dolphin and Whale watching is something to look forward to especially when one visits at the right time. Four wheel drive tours can spice up one’s experience, especially when done together with a fishing crew of campers.

         One is left in awe with the beauty of this unspoilt haven, regardless of whether one has been to her sister sand islands. A visit to Moreton Island leaves nothing but sweet memories.
