2009 Visit to Mcleay Island

A Visit to see Ken’s Friend Peter Mulroy in August

Macleay Island is the second largest of the four Bay Islands, situated 30km from Brisbane in the Moreton Bay Marine Park at the southern end of Moreton Bay. It is 6.5km long and 4km wide at its widest point.

Protected by North Stradbroke Island to the east, Macleay is connected to the mainland by ferries and barges, which also connect to inter-island transport for the four Bay Islands.

More than 2000 people are resident on Macleay, enjoying several beaches for swimming and fishing, as well as a bowls club, golf course and boat club. The arts are also catered for with a delightful Arts Complex, consisting of studio, gallery and pottery shed. Click here for further information on these groups.

See the website here on further details.

We had never visited McLeay Island before. It was a pleasure going over and meeting a friend who I had never met personally before but only knew him on the telephone. We had lunch and coffee with him at the Blue Parrot Cafe and then Peter drove us around Mcleay Island and then back for an inspection of his house and more coffee at the end of the day. Then he drove us down the passenger ferry to go home.

Peter has a very inspiring story of how to be a victor and not to be a victim in the worst situations in life. His story and my story are told on my Brain Injury Survivor Network I began a number of years ago. We are both Recycled/Restored Men in a new season of life. Read his story down near the end of the Blog Site.
