Hi Wendy
nice to see you have mentioned the islands in Southern Moreton Bay. You can make a nice day of it tripping round the islands, and yes there are buses that go to Carindale and Garaden City, also Loganholme I think. ALso there is the train to CLeveland then a bus link to the jetty. Your blog is a good idea, and I'll add it to my bloglines. Jenni
