Welcome to the Southern

Moreton Bay Islands

Located in Quandamooka Country in the Southern Moreton Bay between the Redlands coast and North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah), SMBI comprises Karragarra, Lamb (Nguderoo), Macleay (Alcheringa & Perulpa) and Russell (Canaipa) Islands.

It is a little piece of paradise that many of us call home.

SMBI

Our little piece of paradise in the Quandamooka Coast…

Merely 18 minutes by water taxi or between 40 and 60 minutes by vehicle ferry from Redland Bay, the Southern Moreton Bay Islands really are a world apart.

The more relaxed pace of life over here tends to help relieve the stresses of modern life. It tends to allow us to enjoy life more. It tends to help us appreciate that the little things in life are as important as the big things.
