Location

The beautiful Moreton Island is on the doorstep of Brisbane City in the pristine waters of Moreton Bay. The island has no sealed roads and has all the facilities of a mainland destination. This trip offers a choice of either camping or glamping. The Castaways resort has Glamping tents that offer 2 and 4 berth accomodation with bathroom facilities and there is a well equipped camp kitchen for all your catering needs. Whilst sitting around the fire on the beach is the norm for this trip we do however have a restaurant night on the Saturday night at Castaways and finish with some Cold Rock Ice-cream supplied from our sponsor.
