Overview

On the North Stradbroke Island Tour, migrating whales can be spotted from June to October, along with dolphins and turtles all year round. The island enjoys spectacular ocean views and has a rich history.

On our way to Point Lookout, we will stop at Myora Springs, a small creek leading into the surrounding mangroves.

In the afternoon, we visit Amity Point for a gentle stroll beneath coastal gums, keeping an eye out for koalas resting high in the canopy. This quiet coastal area offers a slower pace and a chance to enjoy the island’s peaceful atmosphere.

Our final natural highlight is Brown Lake, a freshwater lake naturally stained by tea tree tannins, giving the water its distinctive brown color. Surrounded by native bushland and delicate wildflowers, it is an ideal place to enjoy afternoon tea or take a refreshing swim before we begin our journey back to the mainland.

You will leave this beautiful tropical island with many wonderful memories.

Myora Springs Conservation Area

“Capeembah”Myora Springs is a beautiful spot and source of freshwater for the wildlife of the Dunwich area, just a few kilometres out of Dunwich on the road to Amity Point and Point Lookout. Myora Springs, or Moongalba (sitting down place) has a pure-freshwater spring that is running today, just as it has for thousands of years. In the forest surrounding the Myora Springs is an abundance of freshwater crayfish, prawns, bungwal fern, and other plant foods and so it is no surprise to learn this was a favoured camping place of the Aboriginal people. The banks feature parts of large middens, which contain, among other things, cockle, oyster and whelk shells.

The Gorge Walk also offers stunning views along beautiful Main Beach to Jumpinpin, the Island’s southern tip.

Brown Lake

A natural perched lake, pure rainwater tinged brown by the native tea trees, Brown Lake, or Lake Bummiera, is a hidden treasure. Popular swimming place and picnic spot. The calm tranquility of the lake is entrancing, especially if you visit in the early morning or late afternoon. In spring, wildflowers dot the surrounding bushland. Lake Bummiera has special significance to the local Aboriginal people, and if you visit at a quiet time of day you’ll feel the magic.
