After two days sailing from Sydney we anchored off Moreton Island and tendered ashore to Tangalooma resort.
We decided to walk the 3.5Km walking track which started with about 1 Km along the beach and then climbed to the top of the Ridgeline and looped around to the resort.
The beach walk was a little heavy going with the soft sand so we were initially grateful to get off the sand and firmer ground. However leaving the beach meant a significant climb up stairs.
And the stairs kept going seemingly forever, although the view was worth it (maybe more in hindsight than actually while it was happening!)
One of the highlights of the defined track was an option to go to the Sandhills. However as visiting them required a significant decrease in altitude (and associated climbing back up again) we decided we would experience them from afar.
The view from the top of the ridge was impressive.

Great to (finally) hear from you. I’ve been feeling deprived!
Enjoyed this report of your walk and can relate to everything you say. I hate beach walking unless I can get to firm sand; I understand this “the view was worth it (maybe more in hindsight than actually while it was happening!)” perfectly; and I reckon we’d have made the same decision about viewing from afar.
The weather looks gorgeous, and how great that Sue’s hip is up for all those steps.
