We've been coming to Straddie for 20+ years and have never managed to make it to Myora Springs until this trip. Whilst the site is of cultural significance and there is plenty of information about area, there is little to see and do. Disappointing.

So sorry we didnt see it at high tide. The stream was flowing, but very very shallow.
Lovely shaded place to read up about the aboriginal history of the springs! People seem to swim here.
People turned up with young children with floaties.

Worth a look and you can see the creek and spring entry. It was full of backpackers on a bus. Don't expect to be alone...

Myora Springs Conservation Area, also known as Capembah Creek by the local Quandamooka people, was once a sarced meeting place. Here within the mangroves, the site provided the people with freshwater and food.
Today the area has been conserved and can be visited via the short boardwalk. On entering the conservation area looking to the right you will see a rapid fresh water stream flowing from under the road, as the signage states 2.4 million litres flows out of the stream every day.
Along the boardwalk are many informative signs on the local flora and fauna, we found the information on the boards informative. Watch out for mosquitoes while in the wetlands.
Myora Springs is located on the main road between Dunwich and Point Lookout, a visit here only takes five to ten minutes so its worth stopping and having a look and enjoying the tranquillity of the creek. There is a bus stop not far from the entrance if you are taking public transport.

We pulled off on the main road on our way to catch the ferry. There is a short boardwalk over the creek which leads into where the mangroves are. It is very pretty and amazing to see where the fresh water meets the salty water. There are some interesting info-boards. One which also tells you about the Indigenous shell middens across the creek from 3000 years ago.
The area was closed for regeneration when we were there and I don't think swimming is allowed, but there were people in there anyway having a bathe.

Beautiful spot to visit on North Stradbroke Island. To protect the sensitive environment, there is a timber walkway that allows visitors to view the fresh water springs and the remains of shell middens left by the Aboriginal owners who have enjoyed this spot. The signage discusses the significance of the area and explains how the Quandamooka people would entice dolphins to the area to help them catch fish. The spot is also the habitat of the endangered swamp orchid and the water mouse.
The walkway provides easy wheelchair access.

A short visit to this roadside attraction, primarily to learn about about the local heritage of the area, which is outlined in a series of small information panels. These are mounted along the short boardwalk which meanders out over a small, peaceful wetland area towards the coastal mangroves.

Not a lot to see at Myora springs looks like a massive water leak sprouting out of a drain into a clear swimming pool

This spot is very easily missed but well worth the pullover and visit. Really good since they have upgraded it to include information at the site

Hey was just wondering if this place is a free attraction or is it part of a resort/stay accommodation that we have to pay for?
