Stradbroke IslandsNorth Stradbroke Island is a small island in the state of Queensland, 30 km southeast of the capital Brisbane. Before 1896 the island was part of the Stradbroke Island. In that year a storm separated it from South Stradbroke Island, forming the Jumpinpin Channel. The island is about 38 km long and 11 km wide. It is known colloquially as "Straddie". North Stradbroke is the more developed of the two islands, with the three small townships of Dunwich, Amity Point and Point Lookout offering vacation rentals, shops and a range of eateries. It also has a sealed, bitumen road network.South Stradbroke Island the smaller of the two islands, south of Brisbane and forms the northern end of Gold Coast. The 22 km by 2.5 km sized island is one of the two Stradbroke Islands and lies very close to the mainland. South Stradbroke, while less developed, has a number of anchorages, campsites, and two major tourist resorts, Couran Cove and South Stradbroke Island Resort, or Tipplers. There are no sealed roads on the island. |
