On Feb 22, 2024, we anchored in the harbor of Moreton, Queensland, Australia. Moreton Island is an island on the eastern side of Moreton Bay on the coast of South East Queensland. The Coral Sea lies on the east coast of the island. Ninety-eight percent of Moreton Island, which is over 27 miles long, is sand, and 95% of the island is a national park. We took a tender to the pier, and then a bus excursion, on a very bumpy sand road or on the beach, to the northern point of the island. The beaches were very wide, pristine and beautiful. We had a picnic lunch on the beach and were able to climb a large dune to see a lighthouse. Then we drove back to the pier, and reboarded our ship.
