Karragarra is a small island just off the coast of south-western Queensland, close to the city of Brisbane; It is also a locality within the City of Redlands Local Government Area. The smallest of the Southern Moreton Bay islands, Karragarra Island is sandwiched between two of its larger cousins, the islands of Russell and Macleay. Much of the island’s circumference is occupied by stunning public beaches providing breath-taking views out into the Coral Sea or vistas of the Australian coast. As there are no sources of fresh water on the island, it is believed the first people to settle it arrived in the 1850s from the west, when an oyster depot was opened on the western coast of the island.
With a total of just barely over 200 permanent residents, Karragarra Island’s atmosphere is one of warmth and peace. The island’s beautiful beaches and relaxed vibes are a stark contrast to the high-stress, high-energy city life found just a short trip by ferry away in Brisbane, and draw a lot of tourists and holidaymakers to the island; Indeed, much of the Island’s economy is from visitors renting accommodation. All in all, Karragarra island is a beautiful island providing a relaxed lifestyle to its residents and visitors, while only being a short distance from the amenities and lifestyle of Brisbane.
