Brisbane Overview

If you travel west of Brisbane, past Ipswich, you'll soon be climbing the Great Dividing Range to Toowoomba (1hour 15 min) and the rich farmland plain of the Darling Downs. These Downs stretch more than 100km across the maintain tabletop before falling to much drier regions on the other side. Ultimately, if you keep going you will run out of road and find yourself in Australia's outback.

The Stradboke Island Car Ferry
To the east, Moreton Bay and its islands offer water sports, sailing and a sea-side lifestyle. Although the seaside immediately adjacent Brisbane is dominated by industry and mangroves, with surprisingly few beaches and no surf, getting off-shore opens up a playground for safe water sports dotted with fantastic sand islands such as North and South Stradbroke Island where you can camp bush-style or stay in a fabulous five star resort. North Stradbroke Island is one of (or is) the largest sand islands in the world.

Although Moreton Bay is protected by these islands, you can't afford to be flippant about safety and from time-to-time, even the locals can get into trouble taking that protection for granted. If you would like to visit these islands for a day, or a week, you don't need a boat though, passenger ferries and even a car ferry travel regularly to these islands though you will need a four wheel drive vehicle in most cases.
