Stradbroke Island
<b>Stradbroke Island (including the North and South Islands and Dunwich)</b> <br> <b>Fascinating islands lying to the east of Brisbane.</b> <br> Located 30 km southeast of Brisbane, North and South Stradbroke Islands and the historic settlements at Dunwich and Amity Point have become popular holiday destinations and day tripper locations for Brisbane people wanting to escape from the city. The islands, they were separated by a storm in 1896, are only 13 km from the seaside suburbs of Cleveland and Redland Bay by regular ferry services.
