For primary school kids
One of Queensland’s unsung gems, Moreton Island is just 75 minutes by passenger ferry from Brisbane (the car ferry takes 90 minutes). Despite its proximity to a capital city, an astonishing 98 per cent of this vast sand island is national park. Spend your days with kids tobogganing down otherworldly sand dunes or snorkelling around the rusty Tangalooma wrecks sunk off the island’s sheltered west coast.
