The views in the north of Moreton Island (watch video) are stunning. Drive through the sand tunes and a forest, you will reach the north end of the island along the coast, where you can visit the famous Moreton Lighthouse. In fact, every June to October is also an ideal time for spotting whales around this area.

The Moreton Lighthouse, painted in bright red, is constructed on rough faced sandstone one by one by labor. It’s colour making it distinctive so ships could identify it during daytime.

Along the creeks that flow into the lagoon, there are many tea trees growing. Putting your hand into the water, the dark colour you see come from the tea tree oils.
