One of our favorite walks in our home state of Queensland Australia is the King Island Conservation Park. Our favorite because you can only really access it at low tide and it looks and feels like our walking on the ocean bed. The Aboriginal name for this place is Yarra-bin. It was hard to find a meaning for this name but it may have something to do Swim and walking which makes sense. The Conservation Park is located 27 km east of Brisbane and you start off from the Wellington Point Recreation Reserve.

It is a great place on a nice day.
You can just make out the Port of Brisbane in the back ground.
There is not much in the Island just a few mangroves. It is hard to believe a family actually live out here for 2 years in the early 1900s.
The sea bed reveals different shells, coral and sea weed.
Walking back from the Island, looking at Wellington Point.
It is pretty popular and can get busy on a nice day.
Looking out to the island. It is about 1km off shore.
The tide was so low we could actually walk past the island and out further into Morten Bay.
You can catch a nice sunset from here too. These two sunset photos were from a different day but they show the wide as it coming back in and you can just make out the Island in the top right corner.
