Getting there and getting around
North Point is in Gheebulum Kunungai (Moreton Island) National Park, 40km offshore from Brisbane. The island can be reached by ferry, barge or boat.
North Point is located at the northern tip of Mulgumpin (Moreton Island), west of Cape Moreton and close to North Point camping area and Honeymoon Bay.
You will need a 4WD for driving on the island. Four-wheel-drives with high clearance and low range function are strongly recommended. All-wheel-drive vehicles without true 4WD function and vehicles with low clearance will have difficulty along inland tracks and in soft sand, therefore we don't recommend them for Mulgumpin (Moreton Island)..
- From the western beach drive via Bulwer–North Point Road and Yellow Patch beach to North Point.
- From the eastern beach drive via Harpers Track and North Point–Cape Moreton Road to North Point.
- Remember all vehicles must be registered, drivers must be licensed and all Queensland road rules apply, even on beaches.
- A vehicle access permit must be purchased. Display the permit on your windscreen before driving in the recreation area.
