Moreton Island

As our time was drawing to and end in Australia we decided to spend a day over at Moreton Island which we had visited with the boys 25 years ago.
Morten Island is reached by ferry from Brisbane, about 45 mins in a fast catamaran or 1 and 1/2hrs in the vehicle ferry which lands right by the wrecks.
The wrecks form a reef for snorkelling just 100mts off the beach. There were 15 ships sunk which form a great place for colourful fish and coral.The water is relatively calm on the inside allowing svn not so strong swimmers to be able to access them.

We enjoyed the ferry ride on a beautiful clear warm day and soon found a nice spot on the beach in front of the wrecks. Many people take their 4wd vehicles over as you can camp or stay in a variety of accommodation.
We had a great day, the boat left at 4.30pm and this meant we were able to get some good sunset shots coming into Brisbane port.
