Bribie Island Day Cruise on MV Lady Brisbane
TUESDAY 3 OCTOBER
On board the MV Lady Brisbane, retrace the route of the extremely popular Steamship Koopa, travelling past Woody Point, Redcliffe, Deception Bay and the majestic Glasshouse Mountains. Sailing through the Pumicestone Passage we may see turtles, dugongs and migratory shorebirds, before arriving at Bongaree Jetty on Bribie Island.
On the island we have two hours to explore or just take a relaxing stroll along the waterfront. The museum (which is free) is 500m from the jetty. If you turn right at the jetty, the Bowls Club, where you could have coffee or a cold drink while watching the locals compete, is only three minutes away. A further three minutes takes you to the Water Tower with supersized artwork chosen by residents and business operators who live and work nearby. The artwork aims to bring awareness of the region’s delicate ecosystem and the important of humans living in harmony with nature. Turning right at the jetty, another option could be to take a half hour walk to Red Beach passing by the RSL, where you might like to take a cool drink with you to Buckley’s Hole Bird-hide which is halfway, to do some bird watching. But don’t forget, if you plan to go to Red Beach it will be another half hour back.
Cost includes morning/afternoon tea, and barbecue lunch on board.
Meeting point (Please be there by 8.45am for 9.00am departure):
Lady Brisbane, Recreation Hub, Commercial Pontoon, 449 Kingsford Smith Drive, Hamilton (opposite Hamilton Hotel). This is Lady Brisbane’s own pontoon, a two minute walk from bus stop 19, and adjacent to the CityCat terminal at Brett’s Wharf.
Parking may be available in the streets around the Hamilton Hotel.
DATE: Tuesday 3 October 2023.
COST: $80 (Includes Boat cruise, Lunch and Morning and Afternoon Tea)
