UQ Moreton Bay Research Station and Study Centre

Moreton Bay Research Station is located 40km east of Brisbane on the Moreton Bay side of North Stradbroke Island (NSI), providing direct access to the waters of Moreton Bay and the Pacific Ocean as well as the unique terrestrial environments of the 27,700 hectare sand island.

Lying on the convergence of the eastern Australian sub-tropical and temperate zones, NSI and the surrounding waters support an incredibly diverse range of terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems on which to base research and education activities.

Owned and operated by the University of Queensland, the research station offers accommodation for up to 96 guests in a range of accommodation styles. Modern research laboratories, teaching space and lecture theatres, boating and diving facilities and a fabulous location attract visiting scientists and academics from around the world each year.

The permanent staff of seven are available to assist with planning your visit and provide scientific and boating assistance as required.
