Fascinating stories behind the islands surrounding Brisbane & Gold Coast
Announcement posted by Coastal Ventures 27 Jul 2017
A huge amount of information has been compiled and condensed into this easy to read format to keep this history alive.
Boat hire with stories & info to go too.
The region of Gold Coast & Brisbane has a vast array of historic stories hidden in the surrounding islands.
Their location means that over the last couple of centuries they have seen wars, European settlement, and generally watched the two cities evolve into some of the biggest cities in the country and even the world. A lot of the area is protected as environmentally significant habitats & heritage listed sites which is why the area has remained an idyllic spot for locals and tourists alike. Lots of customers were hiring boats but didn't really know much about the locations we were sending them to.
The 3 major islands; Bribie, Moreton & Stradbroke island protect the bay from the harsh Pacific Ocean swells, giving gorgeous, flat blue waters for boaties to enjoy. It is this gorgeous, protected water that led us in to hiring out performance boats capable of exploring these islands and taking groups on tours to share the outstanding beauty and history behind them.
Coastal Ventures went in search of fascinating stories and information about all of these islands and has condensed it all into one, easy to read guide. Complete with how to access, GPS co-ordinates & other great info.
