Backpacker special...................(saves money)
If you want to be independent and are coming from Brisbane we ask you to catch the
08:55 am water taxi from Emmett Drive in Cleveland. So this is what you need to do!
- Catch the 07:15 am train from Central or Roma Street stations and go to Cleveland
(end of line), as you walk off the station you walk to the right and wait at the
bus stop.
- Catch the 258 bus to the water taxi terminal at Toondah Harbour (this bus goes straight
there to meet the 08:55 am boat)
- Board the water taxi and pay for your return ticket ($17.00 per adult)
- I will meet you as you step ashore 20 minutes later after crossing Moreton Bay. Be
on the lookout for dolphins and dugongs.
- We start the tour from here...........................EASY!
For people already on Straddie, we will pick you up from your Island accommodation
08:45 am and then go to the water taxi terminal in Dunwich to meet the others coming
across by boat.
We all start the tour from here!
This is what we do and see on our 6 hour 4WD Eco Tour:
- Drive through Dunwich pointing out the rich history of this Township
- Next is a cuppa and swim at fresh water Brown Lake (contains medicinal Ti Tree oil)
- From here we go to Main Beach and drive to Point Lookout watching for whales and
dolphins
- we stop on Main Beach for a photo shoot and another swim if you like
- Get to North Gorge at point Lookout and take in the beautiful scenery and views from
this point. This is Queensland’s most Easterly point so a good chance to see humpback
whales (in season), dolphins, turtles, manta rays and other fish.
- Drive through Point Lookout to Flinders Beach
- Have our famous BBQ on the beach for lunch (steak, salad, pineapple, beetroot and
a fruit drink)
- After lunch it is a walk on Flinders Beach whilst driver packs up and then to Amity
Point
- Spot our resident koalas at Amity (hopefully with baby)
