SAFETY FIRST

Pleased to be under the watchful eye of the coastguard and his spybird Cecil.

Vehicle Fun

The main beach on Straddie is 18 Kilometers long. DM Took his UTE onto the sand and we drove the greatest part of its length.

Beaches to Die For

The beaches on North Stradbroke are to die for, miles of pure white sand with surf breakers, and aquamarine blue seas. Bordered by Tropical Scrub , Robinson Crusoe eat your heart out.

Point Lookout North Stradbroke Island Wildlife

North Stradbroke Island Point Lookout

Point Lookout is Queensland's most easterly point and its rocky outcrops overlooking the Pacific Ocean are the perfect spot for land-based whale-watching from June to November. The fantastic vantage points are within easy walking distance from the township of Point Lookout, North Stradbroke Island.

The humpback whales pass North Gorge Headland on their annual migration from Antarctica to the oceans around the Barrier Reef. While the calves are still quite young they begin their southern, or return, journey passing close to the Coast.

Whale-watchers soon discover that the Headlands walk is a must. Start at the Captain Cook memorial and follow the signs onto North Gorge. A breathtaking seascape and the chance to see dolphins, turtles and manta rays awaits at North Gorge all year round. The walk continues around the Gorge and past Whale Rock. When the tide and sea conditions are right, air whistles through the blowhole like a spouting whale.

We werent disappointed either and saw Dolphins, Humpback Whales, Wild Kangaroos, Eagles etc.

Hippy House

Description

Point Lookout’s most striking house was designed in the Japanese tradition of elegant spaces and expressed structure to create a zone of quiet contemplation. An innovative mix of raw timber, hi-tech materials and huge openings, the house becomes its native bush setting. Three bedrooms plus sleepout, large decks and a sensual bathhouse complete a stress-sapping environment.

The description from the brochure dosent begin to describe the accomodation. Every wall was cantilevered to open up so open plan really meant just that. The shower was outside i.e. you stood outside beside the bush to shower. No Telly , but a drawer full of 60's music Velvet Underground, Joni Mitchell , Ravi Shanker. Cooking you had the option of a firepit.
