southern bay islands

  • If you desire seclusion or a sheltered location, try a group of five small islands - Coochiemudlo, Macleay, Lamb, Karragarra and Russell Islands at the southern end of the bay. Here, you’ll find a quiet paradise to enjoy safe swimming, boating and water sports such as kayaking. The fishing is also popular with an abundance of species found around the islands. The turtles, dolphins and dugongs seem to like this quiet environment too, and can often be seen in the waters.
  • Most of the Southern Bay islands are located just a short distance from the mainland,
  • Only 25 kilometres from Brisbane City is an incredibly diverse paradise that stretches 125 kilometres from Bribie Island to the Southern Bay Islands.
