At 285 metres high, Mount Tempest is the highest stabilised sand dune in the world. The walk to the top of Mount Tempest is a memorable one, with sweeping views of Moreton Bay and the island’s length a spectacular experience. The wildflowers are nice in spring and humpback whales can be spotted migrating in late winter and spring.
