There is always something to do on Coochiemudlo Island. On Saturday, July 31st, the Heritage Association are organising a Mangrove Festival.



If you don't know much about Coochie, it is an amazing place with 3 distinct habitats - Mangrove Forest, Melaleuca WetlandReserve and Beaches.

The western shore is home to a Mangrove forest. The Heritage Association want to highlight the vital importance which mangroves play in Moreton Bay's health and diversity.



Activities include:




Food is available from The Men's Shed, who will be setting up their Sausage Sizzle, The Oasis and the Curlew Cafe. The Curlew Cafe have a great range of locally made jams and other goodies. Or bring a picnic. There are plenty of lovely spots to sit.



BOOK EARLY. Tickets are limited because of the need to protect the mangroves.

Access is by ferry or barge from Victoria Point. Volunteers will collect you from the jetty, issue you with illustrated guides that provide details of 2 walks. Note that one can only be taken in the morning due to tides. Both walks are about 30 minutes in duration.



Your ticket gives you access to a shuttle bus (but nothing is very far on Coochie) and also to the art exhibition and the at the Community Hall.
