North and South Stradbroke Islands provide a sheltered bay adjacent Brisbane and the northern point of the Gold Coast. North Stradbroke Island has some of the most spectacular scenery found in Queensland. White sandy beaches stretch into an endless horizon fringed by the aqua blue ocean, while a system of freshwater lakes in the island's centre provides beautiful picnic and swimming spots. The three townships still have a village atmosphere offering a range of accommodation to suit all budgets, not to mention a variety of cafes and restaurants.
Straddie is 30 kilometres southeast of Brisbane city and is accessible by vehicular ferry or catamaran. The ferries leave for Stradbroke Island leave from Cleveland.
With fantastic weather, a great lifestyle and many opportunities, Brisbane is up there as one of the best places to live in the world and one of the fastest growing cities in Australia.
The Australian paralysis
tick (Ixodes holocyus) is roughly
confined to a 20-kilometre band that follows the eastern coastline of Australia. As this is where much of the human
population resides, encounters with these parasites are relatively common.
Although most cases of tick bite are uneventful, some can result in muscle
weakness, blurred vision, drowsiness, paralysis and even death by burying itself
in a person's skin and injecting a neurotoxin.
