Exploring Bribie Island from Avon Lodge
Bribie Island Pumicestone Passage

Pumicestone Passage – a marine national park – is a beautiful stretch of water separating our island from the mainland. 350 species of birds inhabit the passage and the bush growing to its edge. This living waterway is also the home of dugongs, loggerhead turtles and porpoises. Just imagine yourselves strolling along the foreshore, listening to the chorus of a thousand lorikeets as the sun sets over the Glasshouse Mountains!

We can help you book a cruise along the passage to appreciate the wildlife and spectacular scenery.

Bribie Island, linked to the mainland by a long bridge, is just forty-five minutes north of Brisbane. It is a subtropical holiday paradise offering total relaxation, long sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and world class fishing. 80% of Bribie Island is forested and there are many places to go picnicking, bushwalking or off-road driving. 

Fishing, bushwalking, bicycling (on the flat!), birdwatching, boating and dining out, are some of the wonderful ways in which to enjoy your stay. The island’s galleries and crafts centers are really worth a browse.Bribie Island is full of historic sites from Aboriginal fish traps to World War II bunkers and gun emplacements. White Patch, the area where he beached his boat, the Norfolk, for repairs was named by explorer Matthew Flinders who circumnaviagated Australia. The beautiful Pumicestone Passage was named by Flinders.
