Bay Islands (Queensland)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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, is part of the Redland Shire and has a permanent population of 4234 according to 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. New houses are being constructed at the rate of more than one a week.
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.
The islands have frequent scheduled vehicle barge and fast passenger ferries services leaving from Redland Bay. The spectacular Canaipa Passage between North Stradbroke an Russell is a favourite destination for private boats
Coochiemudlo Island has ferries from Victoria Point. North Stradbroke Island has ferries from Cleveland.
