Bribie Island - Australia's Beautiful Hidden Treasure

A stunning morning twilight & sunrise was captured at Woorim Beach, Bribie Island, Queensland, Australia. The jetskis & yachts were filmed later on the other side of Bribie Island, near the township of Bongaree, at the entrance to the Pumicestone Passage. Bribie Island is only an hour's drive north of the city of Brisbane. It is the smallest and most northerly of three major sand islands forming the coastline sheltering the northern part of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. The other islands are Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island. Bribie Island is 34 kilometres (21 miles) long, and 8 kilometres (5 miles) at its widest. Bribie Island hugs the coastline and tapers to a long spit at its most northern point near Caloundra, and is separated from the mainland by Pumicestone Passage. The ocean side of the island is somewhat sheltered from prevailing winds by Moreton Island and associated sand banks and has only a small surf break. The lee side is calm, with white sandy beaches in the south. Most of the island is uninhabited national park (55.8 square kilometres or 21.5 square miles) and forestry plantations. The southern end of the island has been intensively urbanised as part of the Moreton Bay Region, the main suburbs being Bongaree, Woorim, Bellara and Banksia Beach. A bridge from Sandstone Point on the mainland to Bongaree on Bribie Island was completed in 1963. Pumicestone Passage stretches for 35 kilometres, from Caloundra in the north to Deception Bay in the south. A marine park with the oldest registered fish habitat in Queensland, it is a narrow, shallow estuary, encompassing a meandering system of channels, sand banks and islands. The Passage is also recognised as one of the most important bird habitats on the east coast of Australia on the east coast of Australia, and is protected by its inclusion on environmental treaties.
