Moreton Island National Park is a protected area located on Moreton Island, the third-largest sand island in the world, off the coast of southeast Queensland, Australia. The park covers approximately 95% of the island, preserving its diverse ecosystems and unique natural beauty.
The surrounding waters are home to a rich variety of marine life, including dolphins, dugongs, turtles, and humpback whales. The island is a popular spot for snorkeling and diving, especially around the Tangalooma Wrecks, a series of sunken ships that attract a plethora of marine species.
The island has historical significance, with remnants of World War II fortifications and indigenous cultural sites. The island was also an important site for the indigenous Quandamooka people, and there are areas of cultural heritage significance.
To reach Moreton Island, you will primarily use ferry services, as it is an island off the coast of southeast Queensland.
