The Mt Tempest 4WD tour ~ 2 hours.

The 360 degree views of the whole Island make the 2.5 klm walk to the top worthwhile. On a clear day Cunninghams Gap can be seen.


Views on the way up are inspiring. Looking north to Cape Moreton


Initially the walk is through scribbly gum forest, as we climb we come to heath land on the top of Tempest.

Cape Moreton ~ 3 hours

Bus to Spitfire Creek, North Point and Cape Moreton.


Half way into the 20 minute drive to Cape Moreton we cross Spitfire Creek. It is here that the timber getters Phamphlett, Finnegan and Parsons, the came ashore in 1823 to get freshwater only to be stranded when there boat was broken up in the surf. When rescued by Oxley their story was recorded by Uniake.

The Cape provides amazing ocean views with plenty of maine life to spot, humpback whales (May to October inclusive), dolphins, rays and turtles. The Cape Lighthouse was built by the New south Wales government in 1857. We also visit the Moreton Island National Park information centre which is housed in one of the light house keepers cottages built in the 1930's.

Rocky shore intertidal animals can be studied at North Point. Vehicle access to North point is restricted so bus and walk time adds up to about 30 minutes to reach the rocky shore so rocky shore is only scheduled by request as means less time spent at the Cape.



Spectacular views of the Island and also marine life, rays turtles, dolphins, sharks and from May till the end of October, humpback whales.
