Contact Kat Gawlik Resident Lamb Island agent for more information and to arrange a private viewing - 0497 887 953 ABOUT LAMB ISLAND Lamb Island (Ngudooroo) is the second smallest of the Southern Moreton Bay Islands with excellent fishing, kayaking, sailing and deep water moorings on our doorstep. We have about 500 residents and a small community feel compared to the larger suburban islands Russell and Macleay. Most people come here for the peace and quiet. The 1km x 2 km island is small enough that it's not necessary to have a vehicle, and many residents walk, have bikes, scooters or use the community-run Lamb Van public transport. Get your local honey, freshly roasted coffee, organic gardening supplies, local artwork and handmade soap from some of the local small businesses on Lamb. There are many groups and activities to keep you occupied, from Yoga and Pilates classes, community bushcare days, to trivia nights and pool competitions at the Rec Club. We have town water (which comes from the aquifer below the great sand island North Stradbroke), electricity, NBN internet, public tennis court (with flood lighting for night tournaments!), playground, BBQ area and swimming area, off-leash dog park, community garden, free rubbish dump, Lamb Island Recreational Club and a small shop. Eat-in or takeaway meals can be had at The Fat Lamb Bistro at the Recreation Club or Zac’s shop. Woolworths deliver here every day of the week for a small delivery fee. There are essentials such as schools, post office, pharmacies, medical centres, hardware stores and cafes on the neighbouring islands Macleay and Russell which are a free 5 minute inter-island ferry away. We are just a 21 minute Translink passenger ferry to Redland Bay, Brisbane where there is free car parking and the Weinam Creek Development is in the pipeline. The islands are moving ahead and undergoing a building boom which is to be expected for a region only 50 mins to Brisbane City and 50 mins to the Gold Coast. The vehicle barge is $65 each way for residents leaving from Redland Bay, Brisbane. The Island jetties have recently undergone a major revamp with work on the Lamb jetty nearly completed. The secret's out and more people are discovering our beautiful islands and the unique lifestyle they offer.
