Moreton Island National Park & Recreation Area

Covering over 95% of Moreton Island, this protected natural wonderland delivers sweeping sandy beaches, vivid wildflowers, and pristine lagoons and creeks. Among these is the freshwater Blue Lagoon, a calm, popular swimming and kayaking spot. The park's impressive sand dunes include the challenging but panoramic Mt Tempest, which at 280m is the tallest vegetated sand dune in the southern hemisphere.
