Mooring Sites

HOUSEBOAT LAND MOORINGS *Some sites may not be available all year round.

Sandy Beach. This mooring has a sheltered sandy beach and the clear water of Platypus Bay is great for swimming. Take a walk over the rise in front of your boat to another swimming lagoon with ancient granite rock formations. Or make friends with the resident kookaburras that visit in the late afternoon.

Platypus Bay. A quiet mooring midweek that transforms into a perfect location for observing the antics of weekend water-skiers. During flowering season, the banks come alive with bright red blooms of the native bottlebrush trees.

Grassy Banks on the Fong On Bay Peninsula lead onto the site where an old homestead once stood. During World War 2 there was a military camp around here & many army artifacts have been recovered from this area.

Grandfather Beard’s Bay. A very private mooring, nestled at the back of the bay. Spectacular scenery with Hoop pine plantations on the port side and rainforest views on the starboard. Note the Spanish moss (Grandfather’s Beard) hanging from the rainforest trees.

Pine Tree Landing is situated deep into the long inlet south of Fong On Bay, fringed by plantation pine forests & provides a view from afar of our busy weekend water playground. Usually a peaceful mooring during the week.

HOUSEBOAT FLOATING MOORINGS

Island View. Tucked away in a very tranquil spot beside Tall Tree Island, enjoy the magnificent sunsets over Tobacco Hill silhouetted by an epiphyte in the nearby tree.

Rainforest Dreaming. East of Tobacco Hill and distanced from most boating activity, float amidst the beautiful rainforest and flooded forest surrounds. An excellent mooring from which to view the brolgas as they return to the rainforest each evening.

Sunset Bay. A perfect spot for taking the time to watch the sun set over Lake Tinaroo and contemplate the meaning of life. A favourite night roost for some of the local bird species.

Lofty Pines encircle this quiet, sheltered bay past the Fong On Bay State Forest Park. Keep a watch over the ranges to the north-west, which are noted for UFO activity.

Lily Bay is a calm, sheltered inlet near School Point, surrounded by lily pads & pine forest. A very quiet floating mooring mid-week, protected from windy weather.

On the southern side of Fong On Bay lies a small calm, Peaceful Inlet, fringed with majestic pines. A particularly sheltered mooring, where the mind can easily drift off into daydream or convenient for a quiet siesta after a BBQ.

Brolgas at sunset. Photo - Sture Karllson North of Tobacco Hill, convenient to our base mooring. A good place to catch the brolgas at sunset, particularly if you are planning an early return the next morning.

Gumtree Dreaming. Float above one of the many old World War 2 military camps in this area that pre-existed the construction of Lake Tinaroo.

Flooded Forest lies to the south-east of Tobacco Hill. From this peaceful mooring you have views of the scenic rainforest shoreline, the Southern Cross and a surrounding forest of flooded trees.
