Where to Go - Bay Islands : Lamb Island
Lamb Island is the second smallest of the Bay Islands, and is known as the 'treasure of Moreton Bay'. Lamb Island was known for many years by its Aboriginal name "Ngudooroo" which means "paper bark trees".
There is an abundance of these trees opposite the dam on the island. Lamb Island measures only two kilometres by one kilometre at the narrowest north-eastern end. Enjoy a walk around the island and take in the natural beauty of the environment.
Whether you have a boat, or just want to throw a line in from the shore, there is an abundance of fish in the waters around Lamb Island.
Walk along the foreshore, into the rainforest and inspect the sea eagle's nest. Sea eagles build only one nest in their life and keep the same mate year after year. There is a swimming enclosure towards the northern end of the island on the eastern side.
A deep water passage and former shipping route, known as the Canaipa Passage, is situated east of Lamb Island and runs along the shoreline of North Stradbroke Island to the Gold Coast. The local kiosk provides food, supplies, fuel, ice and souvenirs.
