Snorkeling around Brisbane???
Hi Everyone,
In March I'm going to Australia for a holiday for 3 weeks. While I'm there I intend to do some snorkelling and I would like to teach my girlfriend how to snorkel. Can anyone recommend a beach around Brisbane that I can go to? Ideally I'm looking for a sandy beach with Very small waves. It dosen't have to be too intresting as I just need it for her to get used to the water while wearing a mask and snokel. The most important thing are the small waves. I'm hoping that we can go to the marine reserve in Moreton Bay, but before that I have to be able take her snorkelling off the mainland shore. Can anyone also tell me if there are box jellyfish around Brisbane at the moment. I don't think there are, but I'd like to check. Thanks in advance Darren |

Thanks in advance Darren Try Pumicestone Passage, Bribie Island , nice sandy beaches, next to no jellyfish, quite a few pods of dolphins and the odd dugong. Just a sandy bottom though so its fairly boring. On calm days the Ocean Beach is ok. For something more interesting the wrecks on Moreton Island are really worth the visit, the area is sheltered and very good for first timers. Redcliffe has a beach which is cross between grit, mud and rocks. Any closer to Brisbane and the beaches get to be muddy and full of mangroves. Going South is similar. -- www.bribieisland4x4hire.com VW Kombi Camper Buy Backs Landcruiser Troopy - Toyota Hilux Crew Cab Mitsubishi Pajero - Landrover V8 Swag Camper |

Bribie Island ocean side - yes! Same for Moreton Island. The good breaks are
also just half an hour further north on the Sunshine Coast - or at Duranbah etc on the southern Gold Coast.

news:XjSZb.22121$o52.7773@fed1read02... are the waters pretty clean? how are the sharks? Most of the time the water is pretty clean - when the lagoons break out across the beach after heavy rains and high tides it gets a bit murky with the tea tree staining the water brown. The good surf is at the North end of the Island, the sand bars in Moreton Bay protect us from the really big seas that you get on the Sunshine and Gold Coasts. But saying that this morning there was about a metre surf at Woorim which was good for body boards, not too good for the board riders though. Sharks? what sharks? There are baited hook lines off the beach and I've only ever shared the water with dolphins, turtles and the left overs that the sharks could n't eat in one gulp. When the tuna are running I don't go in the water - I'd hate a shark to mistake me for a tuna!! |

Clean water - Yes!!
Sharks - Yes! too. But not normally particularly aggressive. Netting and set lines at bathing beaches reduces the number I suspect!
