Bribie Island


We are leaving Noosa and believe it or not heading south again. After some research Rick found a place in Caboolture (Opposite Lock 4WD) to supply and fit the lift kit (shock absorbers and springs)to the car. This was happening on Tuesday so we thought we may aswell stay a couple of nights at Bribie Island. We were on the road at 9.30am - we are getting a little better at the pack up. We negotiated the 100 or more roundabouts out of Noosa and arrived at Bribie Island around 11am and stopped at the info centre just after the bridge. We decided on the Top Tourist Park on the eastern side of the island at Woorim. Bribie Island is 70km north of Brisbane and is Queensland's only offshore island linked to the mainland by bridge. It is a sand island with protected bushland areas but is far more developed than what we imagined. The caravan park was huge but had only one site left - obviously very popular with the grey nomads as there was no other children to be seen - actually I don't think we have seen anyone else around the park under 60. We had some lunch and went for a bike ride along a paved track back to the other side of the island to the Pumicestone Passage. We went for a walk on the jetty and headed back - the round trip about 11km. The kids still had energy to burn when they got back and took their scooters to the skatepark just outside the caravan park.
