Bribie Island is the only island in Queensland which is connected to mainland Australia via a road. It is the most northerly and smallest of the three sandy islands near Moreton Bay. At 34 kilometres long and 8 kilometres wide, it is home to a diverse range of wildlife and marine critters.
It is separated from the mainland by the narrow and ecologically significant Pumicestone Passage, which is an exciting place for marine activities such as boating, diving, and swimming. It has calm, pristine beaches, and is sheltered by the nearby Moreton Island. The white sandy beaches of the southern part of the island are extremely beautiful and popular among tourists and locals alike.
