You Can Visit 4 Islands for Just 50 Cents from Brisbane! 🇦🇺 Moreton Bay Islands

Take an incredible 50-cent ferry journey through the Southern Moreton Bay Islands in Queensland, Australia, visiting Karragarra, Macleay, Lamb and Russell Islands during a beautiful golden-hour cruise. In this Brisbane travel vlog, I head to Redland Bay and board the passenger ferry for the Southern Moreton Bay Islands loop. What makes this journey fascinating is that these island communities are part of suburban South East Queensland, yet they rely heavily on ferries for everyday transport. For just 50 cents, we travel across Moreton Bay and visit four very different island communities — Karragarra Island, Macleay Island, Lamb Island and Russell Island. Along the way, we see how residents commute to work and school by boat, discover the difference between passenger and vehicle ferries, and experience everyday island life just outside Brisbane. The journey becomes particularly beautiful during golden hour, with sunset light across Moreton Bay, small jetties, boats and peaceful waterways making this feel much more like a scenic island cruise than ordinary public transport. We first stop at tiny Karragarra Island before continuing to Macleay Island and Lamb Island. Our final stop is Russell Island, the largest community on the route, before completing the loop and returning to Redland Bay. For visitors to Brisbane looking for something unusual and inexpensive to do, the Southern Moreton Bay Islands ferry is a fascinating way to experience another side of Queensland — and at just 50 cents, it may be one of Australia's cheapest island-hopping journeys. 00:00 Introduction – Southern Moreton Bay Islands Loop 00:39 Brisbane Suburbs Connected Only by Water 01:11 Boarding the Ferry at Redland Bay 01:36 Southern Moreton Bay Four-Island Ferry Route 02:32 Island Life – Commuting to School & Work by Boat 03:00 Passenger Ferry vs Vehicle Ferry 03:39 Exploring Moreton Bay for Just 50 Cents 04:07 Golden Hour & Sunset Across Moreton Bay 05:02 Cruising Through the Southern Islands 05:37 Vehicle Ferries & Everyday Island Life 06:17 Approaching Karragarra Island 07:02 Karragarra – The Smallest Island 07:43 Ferry to Macleay Island 08:14 Macleay Island to Lamb Island 08:45 Arriving at Lamb Island 09:31 Golden Hour Through the Moreton Bay Waterways 10:03 Russell Island – The Largest Community 11:13 Inside the Ferry & Passenger Amenities 11:38 Russell Island Jetty 12:13 Returning to Redland Bay 13:22 Redland Bay Marina & Ambulance Boat 13:40 Final Thoughts from Redland Bay #MoretonBay #MoretonBayIslands #Brisbane #Queensland #AustraliaTravel #IslandHopping #BrisbaneVlog
