Moreton ferry to assist tourism
A new $10 million ferry to Moreton Island, near Brisbane, would herald
a new era of accessibility for tourists, officials said. The ferry will be able to carry 40 people and 50 cars and make the trip from Brisbane to Tangalooma, on Moreton Island, in a little more than an hour. This will cut the journey time in half. "Moreton Island, a popular destination for holidaymakers and day-trippers, will now be more accessible to those wanting to experience the Island's many natural attractions and activities," Queensland's Tourism Minister, Margaret Keech, said. "Where else can you take a quick ferry trip to a national park that promises experiences such as encounters with dolphins in their natural habitat, whale and bird watching, sand dune riding and mountain climbing?" The ferry includes a viewing deck that seats 100 passengers. - Travelpress --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |
