Coochiemudlo Island (Goochie Mudlo)
Affectionately known as Coochie, this small sub-tropical island fringed by bushland is just a short passenger ferry or vehicle ferry ride from Victoria Point. The island is only 5sq km, so there is no need for visitors to take a car – just pack a picnic and go for a walk. This predominantly residential island also boasts significant natural areas and wildlife.

Coochiemudlo's peaceful atmosphere and stunning views have inspired many artists and a range of arts and crafts are on offer at the regular Coochie Markets.

Being so close to the mainland, the island has protected waters and shallow beaches, making the beautiful golden sandy Main Beach a great place for the kids to swim.

You can throw in a line or stroll through the melaleuca wetlands. Or, if you’re looking for fun on the water, you can hire a barbeque boat or tinnie.


Getting there
Daily passenger and vehicle ferries run regularly between the island and Victoria Point. The nearest train station is Cleveland. Transdev Queensland operates regular bus services from Victoria Point.
