more info
North Stradbroke Island has some of the most spectacular scenery found in Queensland and some of the best vantage points for viewing the Whales as they head north for the winter months.
North Stradbroke Island of the world's largest sand islands, it is situated at the southern end of Moreton Bay. White sandy beaches stretch for as far as the eye can see, while a system of freshwater lakes in the island's centre provides great picnic and swimming spots.
Watch the whales frolic and breach on their annual trek north. Or watch the Whales pass with their playful calves on their return south. Dolphins, turtles and manta rays also frequent the waters off Point Lookout.
From June to November each year, the majestic humpback whales pass the North Gorge Headland on their annual migration from Antarctica to their calving grounds near the Great Barrier Reef. While the calves are still quite young, they begin their southern return journey passing close to the coast.
You don't need to take a tour to do whale watching. You can take your own car or public transport and watch the whales from North Stradbroke Island.
The rocky outcrops at Point Lookout are ideal vantage points for land-based whale watching. The whales pass close to the island, so it is usually possible to see them without the aid of binoculars. You can dine at one of the local restaurants or cafes, or take a picnic lunch and eat overlooking the ocean. One of the advantages of this, is that families with small children, elderly people or those with disabilities, are able to spend a day whale watching from a convenient and safe spot.
Those wishing for a different viewpoint can take the North Gorge walk. Starting at the Captain Cook memorial, there is a signed track all the way around. If you would prefer to go on a guided tour, the 4WD tours take you on a tour of North Stradbroke Island, including land-based whale watching.
North Stradbroke Island has three main townships - Point Lookout, Amity Point and Dunwich.
