Yes, it’s true! Just off Brisbane’s shore is the third-largest sand island in the world, where you can easily feel like it’s just you and the untouched scenery.
Crystal-clear lakes and lagoons exist among tall sand dunes, abundant wildflowers and pristine beaches.
After you have handfed the dolphins under the stars, organise a trip to dive or snorkel among the mysterious wrecks and colourful coral reefs.
The adventurous can try quad biking, four-wheel driving or sand tobogganing before slipping into a lazy dream on the cooling beach, or watching the silhouettes of fishermen as they cast their lines into the surf in lingering twilight.
