Southern Moreton Bay Islands (Queensland)
- Southern Moreton Bay Islands (Queensland)
The "Bay Islands" is the local name of the four inhabited southern Moreton Bay islands in Queensland, Australia. The group is at 27°38'S 153°23'E, and is part of the Redland City, with a permanent population of 4234 as of the 2006 census. However, nearly one third of all dwellings on the islands were unoccupied, suggesting a high proportion of "second homes" are maintained by people elsewhere on Census Night.
The four inhabited Bay Islands are:
*Karragarra, population 125
*Lamb, population 373
*Russell, population 1776
*Macleay, population 1957
Tiny Perulpa Island is joined by a causeway to Macleay and is generally regarded as part of Macleay.
Transportation
The islands have frequent scheduled vehicle barge and fast passenger ferries services leaving from Redland Bay. The spectacular Canaipa Passage between North Stradbroke and Russell is a favourite destination for private boats
Coochiemudlo Island has ferries from Victoria Point. North Stradbroke Island has ferries from Cleveland.
