Here is the ferry leaving the Island. I am going to Stradbroke Island. I will have to get a  bus from Redland Bay to Cleveland, then the Stradbroke Flyer, which is a free bus which meets the Stradbroke Island Ferry, and then the ferry to Dunwich  In Dunwich, I walk through the Dunwich Cemetery.   The Cemetery   has over 10,000 graves most unmarked from the Dunwich Benevolent Asylum.    The first of the Dunwich Cemetery ’s estimated 10,000 burials is believed to date from 1847 when a victim of the shipwrecked Sovereign was interred, which makes it one of the earliest surviving cemeteries in Queensland. Also among the early burials were the victims of one of Queensland’s immigration tragedies: a typhus epidemic in 1850 on the ship Emigrant, which claimed about 27 lives https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipPbqtVLkNmuWlAdCK_uGPwxKvmpiqaiMdjqTjVo

  Sunrise Today will feature new sunrises and sunsets from around Australia and travel photos and details as I travel Australia. I live on Macleay Island in Queensland and this is a sunset over the Bay viewed from Macleay Island Jetty as I start my journey to the mainland. I am living on Macleay Island and this is  now my home. Tomorrow I will head up  north to Cairns and then further north to Lakeland which is 3 hours north of Cairns. I will be sharing my adventures.
