Lance (Marty) Martin, Owner and shaper Gnarly Sandboards
We have chosen to come to Moreton rather than Fraser Island due to it's proximity to Brisbane, and because Moreton is second only to Fraser in terms of being the worlds largest sand island. Everything is sand - literally! Several different dune types, of differing ages are recognised by their form and soil development. Mt. Tempest is considered the highest coastal sand dune in the world at 285m.
We drove down through the middle of the island and came out half way in at a wonderful site called the Desert. The Desert is a major sand blow reached by either 4wd or a scenic walking track.
