Minjerriba - The Giant in the Sun, is what the aborigines call North Stradbroke Island. It is gigantic indeed, 35 km long and 15 km wide at it's widest point. One of the largest subtropical sand Islands in Australia, it has sand dunes over 200 meter high, Eucalypt Forests, patches of the Rain Forest, Typical Australian bush and hidden crystal clear lakes are situated all over the Island.

North Stradbroke is composed almost entirely of sand with dunes that reach 200m high, which have been formed by onshore winds and currents.

We cross the calm water of Moreton Bay by large car ferry, passing subtropical islands.

Watch from the rocky outcrops and picturesque gorges in the north as dolphins play in the surf, huge manta rays glide past, and sea turtles often come to the surface for air. During winter the magnificent humpback whales migrating to the northern breeding grounds can be observed from land.

The Aboriginal presence is still strong today especially around Dunwich, the Island's main settlement.

This Island is packed with wildlife and large portions are national parks. Experiencing North Stradbroke Island at the gates of Brisbane is like visiting well known Fraser Island which boasts an almost identical make-up and topography.
