Queensland's oldest lighthouse opened in 1857.
Cape Moreton Light, also listed as North Point Range Rear Light, is a heritage-listed active lighthouse located on Cape Moreton, a rocky headland located at the north eastern tip of Moreton Island, a large sand island on the eastern side of Moreton Bay, on the coast of South East Queensland, Australia. It marks the northern entrance to Moreton Bay and Brisbane and also serves as the rear light for the North Point Range. With its two distinctive red bands, it also serves as a daymark. It is the oldest lighthouse in Queensland, and the only one to be built by the New South Wales Government before the separation of Queensland, which took place in 1859. It is also the only lighthouse in Queensland to be built of stone.

Explore the cluster of fifteen deliberately sunken ships just off the coast of Moreton Island. The wrecks create a stunning artificial reef that is a popular destination for snorkelling, teeming with a diverse array of fish and marine life. Regular guided snorkel tours operate every day from the nearby Tangalooma Island Resort. These tours can be purchased as part of a resort day trip package from Brisbane or as an activity during an overnight stay. Helicopter tours, boat tours and self-guided tours using non-motorised kayaks and paddleboards can also be arranged from the resort to explore the Tangalooma Wrecks
