Moreton Island Hike Details

Moreton Island is located 75mins east of the port of Brisbane. A quick barge ride across will cost you around $25 pp each way. Tickets and more info can be found at http://moretonislandadventures.com.au

Myself and two mates took 4 days off work with plans to circumnavigate the island staying as close to the coast as possible. 0930 is the earliest you can arrive if you make the first ferry.

Being fully self sufficient it took us 4 days to complete carrying all our own camping gear, food and daily water. We aimed to reach North Point Camp grounds, Rouse Battery and Big Sand Dunes on consecutive days to ensure we had water each night.

We also filled up at Blue Lagoon Camp ground at lunch one day. We had no issue with water except at Big Sand Dunes as it was bore water and you HAVE TO FILTER IT!

5.5 hrs day one hiking 22km
11.5 hrs day two hiking 35km
6 hrs day three hiking 26.5km
3 hrs day four hiking 14km

25 hrs total moving time not including breaks for a total of 97.5km.

Stay hydrated, listen to your body and come prepared with the correct gear and fitness level. You won't regret this one!!

See you on the trail.. Gaff.
