 The most popular options for getting to and away from the island is:

 

BICYCLE Cycling has become very popular in recent years. The ferry companies will accommodate you and your bikes on board at a discounted rate. The road to Point Lookout and Amity is bitumen and in good condition. Depending on your level of fitness and skill, it will either be a long, leisurely cycle over varying gradients or a fast track dash! It is up to you, but either way, bring lots of water and sunscreen and enjoy the ride!

 

BY TRAIN & BUS Catch a Cleveland train from either Roma Street, Central Station or Southbank Station in the city and stay on the train to the end of the line at Cleveland. The journey will take around 50 minutes. You will find a FREE BUS (with Stradbroke Ferries on the front) waiting to take you to catch the next available water taxi to Dunwich. There are regular trips across the bay seven days a week. A water taxi trip is usually around 15 – 20 minutes and will run in most weather conditions.

 

The North Stradbroke Island Bus Service has adapted their runs between Dunwich, Amity Point and Point Lookout around the arrival and departure of the water taxis. This is a great service, which means there is a bus to meet every boat and get you to where you want to go.

 

The bus journey from Dunwich to Point Lookout takes about 20 minutes and costs $5.00AU one way for adults and $2.50AU one way for students and pensioners. This service is great for day trippers who want to see as much of the island as possible in one day. The bus stops at the festival site at Home Beach and within walking distance to most of the resorts and campgrounds located close by to the festival.

 

 

BY CAR Follow the directions in your street directory to Cleveland and follow the signs to the ferry or water taxi terminals. The STRADDIE FLYER GOLD CATS terminal will be the first you come to at the end of Middle Street, turn right here if you want to travel with STRADBROKE FERRIES vehicular ferry or water taxi. The trip is approximately one hour and you will arrive at Dunwich on the western side of the island. Follow the signs to Point Lookout.
