BRIBIE ISLAND
POP 17,057
This slender island at the northern end of Moreton Bay is linked to the mainland by bridge
and is popular with young families, retirees and those with a cool million or three to spend
on a waterfront property. It's far more developed than Stradbroke or Moreton Islands, but
there are still secluded spots to be found.
