You’ll be shaking it off for weeks after you visit – after all, this island is made of it. North ‘Straddie’s’ bush, lakes, surf and big sand dunes make it one of the best and most affordable island destinations in Australia – all just a ferry ride from Brisbane. North Stradbroke Island is a massive elongated accumulation of sand, 40 kilometres due east of the Queensland capital. It’s the world’s second largest sand island, after Fraser Island to the north (see Seventy Five Mile Beach). North Stradbroke lost its 21-kilometrelong tail, which became South Stradbroke Island when the island was split in two by a violent storm in 1896.
The beach is usually calm and, as well as swimming and fishing, offers walking and cycling tracks, and a dog exercise and horse riding area in the park behind. There is a clothing optional area north of the Dariba Road picnic area. Lurking crocodiles are removed from Darwin beaches, but visitors should be aware that they could appear at any time, particularly during the summer, as can the deadly box jellyfish or painful ‘stingers’. Casuarina is the longest of the 12 beaches on Darwin’s irregular northern shoreline.
Cable is this historic Kimberley pearling town’s beach, extending south from the northern access point down to Gantheaume Point, famous for its fossilised dinosaur footprints. Pearling luggers still shelter here in the lee of the point. Although tourists have discovered Broome in recent years, the beach remains in a relatively pristine state, still backed by natural sand dunes. It’s busiest at the northern end where the once rustic old camping area has been replaced by upmarket resorts and dwellings, alongside a selection of camping and hostel accommodation, a crocodile park, hotel and surf life saving club.
