The town of Urangan has a very long pier extending out into the very shallow bay. We walked out to the end and figure that it goes one mile out! There were fishermen & women along the pier and we could see huge schools of fish in the shadow cast by the pier.

We found a tiny 18 acre reserve along the bay, preserving a small remnant of the ‘vine forest’ that once blanketed the south Queensland coast. We walked through the dry rainforest, listening to the birds in the bush. The forest opened onto a pristine empty beach with osprey perched in the trees watching for fish in the shallow bay waters.
