Bribie Island
History/Tourism/Accommodation
Bribie Island is one of 5 sand islands in Queensland. Originally a sandbank, it has existed as an island for centuries.
There is evidence of Aboriginal settlement. It has long been a fishing and holiday destination.
Before the bridge was built in 1963 there was a regular steamer ferry service to the island, which attracted day trippers and campers.
After 1963 the island became urbanised and now has a population of 20,000 in 5 suburbs and excellent infrastructure including a shopping centre and schools.
WE ARE A CARBON NEGATIVE / OXYGEN POSITIVE BUSINESS
We have arranged for the local community nursery to propagate local large trees (to offset our carbon emissions) and plant these in protected areas on the Island in rehabilitated areas for local wildlife.
We have arranged for more trees than is required to be planted on our behalf.
