Gheebulum Kunungai (Moreton Island) National Park is a stunning natural gem located in Queensland, Australia, covering 98% of Moreton Island, just 40 km northeast of Brisbane. The park is a joint collaboration between the island's traditional Quandamooka People and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. Moreton Island is known for its tall sand dunes, miles of sandy beaches, crystal-clear creeks and lagoons, coastal heath, rocky headlands, and abundant wildflowers.
The park offers a variety of activities, including tent camping and camper trailer camping, fishing, walking, observing the historic lighthouse built from sandstone in 1857, and watching marine life such as migrating humpback whales from Cape Moreton. Access to Moreton Island is available via the MICAT vehicle ferry service from Lytton near the Port of Brisbane, the Tangalooma Flyer from Pinkenba, or the Kooringal Trader from Amity Point on North Stradbroke Island.
The park features three main townships: Bulwer, Cowan Cowan, and Kooringal. It is home to Queensland's first lighthouse and the remains of coastal forts.
