Across the Australia Day long weekend we're expecting high demand for bus services on North Stradbroke Island. 

We've worked closely with our delivery partner to maximise the number of buses and services available. 

Services are busiest during the mid-morning when everyone arrives on the island, and again in the late afternoon when everyone wants to head home. 

If you're looking to reduce delays, consider travelling outside of these times. Catch an early ferry across in the morning, or stay on the island a bit later into the evening before heading home. 

First and last trips

  • Route 880 - 6:15am (from Junner Street ferry terminal) and 8pm (from Point Lookout)
  • Route 881 - 8:15am (from One Mile ferry terminal) and 6:05pm (from Amity Point)
