What to expect

Experience the islands calm waters

The ancient sand and waters of North Stradbroke Island, is known as Minjerribah or Terrangeri to the Quandamooka Peoples. It is surrounded by the salt waters of the Coral Sea; fresh waters lakes and ecosystems within the island; wet and wild bush land throughout its interior; surrounded by surf beaches and mangroves on the bay side.

Koalas, kangaroos, dolphins and sea eagles

The island is dense with animals, birds and sea creatures who make themselves known to us in surprising ways. Journaling is a wonderful way to record and helps define the inspiration and guidance you can take from wildlife sightings and interactions of koalas, kangaroo, dolphins and sea eagles.
