We live on the beach, so we tend to camp in the bush. But here is an island we loved. Here’s what you need to know to camp on Minjerribah North Stradbroke Island – and why you don’t need a 4WD and you can bring the dog … If you like to travel with a pooch, Flinders Beach and Main Beach are your options for camping – and you will need a 4WD.
