So you want to go to Coochiemudlo ??
Here Goes!!
Well, basically you head towards
Victoria Point east of Brisbane.
It is a very pleasant
and simple 40 to 45 minute drive
from
Brisbane city
to Victoria Point jetty
Coming south from the city
on the M1(Pacific Hwy), take the Klump Road exit, then keep heading straight east which will lead you on to Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road, just keep on going!!
Eventually you will see signs to follow to Redland Bay.
You will veer to the right onto Mt Cotton Rd, then onto Duncan Road then onto Boundry Road which is the home straight. Near to the end, you will see signs to follow to Victoria Point. It's easy!!
Once you
(ewe) get to the big round about, at the very end of Boundry Rd, you turn right into
Cleveland-Redland Bay Road, then first left into Colburn Avenue
and keep heading east again until you find the Jetty,
which is actually in
in
Masters
Avenue,
turning "right" at the very end of Colburn Avenue!! You can't miss it!!
Please be aware, initially on you trip, you will be following signs to Redland Bay, but DONT GO ALL THE WAY TO REDLAND BAY!
Victoria Point is JUST before, Red land bay,
when you are heading from the south-east and just after if you are heading from the gold Coast!!!!
ONCE you see the jetty, all you have to do is find a
car
park and
board
the
ferry!
The ferry (fairy) ride is just a short, though very delightful 5 to 7 minute
trip across the calm 
and peaceful waters of Moreton Bay.
If you don't have car transportation,
you can actually catch a bus (number 207)
from Brisbane city direct to the jetty, though only in peak times does it go direct!!
You can catch a 279, 271 or 277 through the day,
but you have to change buses at Victoria Point Shopping Center to go to the jetty.
   
If you are driving from the Gold Coast

take the Beenleigh/Redland Bay Rd, Cleveland exit
When you come to MT Cotton Rd, turn left, then eventually turn right down Double Jump Rd.
Keep to the left while heading east, which will becomen Bunker Road that 
leads you straight into Colburn Ave, then you are only approximately 5 minutes away from the passenger ferry (fairy).
Coming from.... 

the airport 
OR (oar)
the Sunshine Coast

Go across the gate way bridge
and keep heading south
Take the Old Cleveland Road exit, follow signs to
Redland Bay/Victoria (Point)

You also have a choice of catching a train!!!!!!


 
You can catch a train from Gold Coast, Airport or Brisbane City
to Cleveland Station . Then the easiest way
is to catch a cab to the jetty.
Cost of a cab is about $
You can catch a bus 
from Cleveland Station to Victoria point,
though it is a lot of mucking around
QUIRKY COTTAGES can organize a limosine taxi service
for you from the airport to Victoria Point
The price is approximately from $ 
Once at the jetty,
you may choose to catch the passenger
ferry to Coochiemudlo Island.
It runs   every half hour starting from
5.15am (weak) week days and 6.30am on week ends, at a cost of $6.80 return for adults and $3.40 for children.
It runs late each night 'till
11pm
If it is more convenient or safer for you,
you can bring your bike motorbike car or car and boat or trailer
across to Coochie on the barge.
The vehicle barge costs $45 return ($50 form August 1st) for a normal sized car.
Bookings are essential!
The Barge makes approximately 12 runs a day starting from
6.40am and usually stops at 5
pm.
It runs later on a Fri day until
7pm,
making it easier if want to come after work for the weekend!
