Wandered along the other half of the Illoura Reserve and very nice it was too. (Map)
Mary-Lou and Four Winds moored off Illoura Reserve. That's Mary-Lou on the left in the blue & white.
Hardys may be the boatiest bay in Brisbane Water but have a gander at the background in this photo. You can't hardly see the houses for boats.
Davistown (foreground) and Empire Bay (background).
Mary-Lou's and Four Winds's backsides. Just looking at wooden boats gives a person a restful feeling.
In the background is Sorrento Road Empire Bay.
Can't afford a whole wooden boat? Want something with wood but with grunt? Here's yer solution.
Her name's Milly. I like her double wooden doors down into the cabin. Very gambling saloon.
MV Rustbucket moored off Amy Street. Clearly she's had a hard life and it's not over yet. She's for sale.
Quiet spot for a bit of fishing and dreaming.
That's the old orphanage across the water there. St Joseph's and the Holy Cross Church.
All these photos were taken from Illoura Reserve. That green line on the map is it. Goes from Restella Avenue, just down from Central Wharf, to round past the Davo.
The Davo is the Davistown RSL and is a popular daytrip if you want a decent feed and a gargle sandwiched between to rides on the water.
That cross on the right edge is Holy Cross and St Joseph's.

What's a Reserve when it's in Australia? In NM, we have designated public lands - Open Space, Wilderness Area, National Forest, State Park, Wildlife Preserve or Sanctuary, etc - and each has a different set of rules governing its use. Just curious about what makes a Reserve a Reserve...
Lovely photos
I cant wait for november
and to walk along the woy woy reserve............yippeeeeeee
"mv rustbucket" was the livelihood of my family during the 80's and 90's. Her name is Barbara Ann. After another trawler crashed into my father in the dead of night and almost killed him, she sank and had to be pulled from the bottom of the ocean. My father and mother sank all they had into repairing her but it didn't really work out. My father was shortly after admitted to a nursing home in his 50's with dementia. His friends and family struggled to maintain her, 18 months later my father passed away. She was practically given away. She brought us much joy once :-( now you know 'who' she is :-)

Nice post. With regard to Suzanne44's question, reserves in Australia generally aim to protect and maintain biological diversity, whilst being generally "accessible". They fall under the umbrella of the 6 international classes agreed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). These range from strict nature conservation to multi-use reserves (which are less strict on the details but must not be inconsistent with the primary purpose, being biodiversity conservation). Illoura reserve varies between multi-use(playgrounds, boat ramps, picnic areas)and fenced off "exclusion zones". It can be walked end-to-end - with effort - but it gets wild and boggy at times!
