About
About Russell Island, platform 1
Russell Island is the largest of the Southern Moreton Bay Islands and its platform 1 carries the heaviest island link: 52 departures a week to Lamb Island over 1.0 nautical miles in 8 minutes, against only 11 coming back the other way.
The mainland connection arrives here rather than leaves — 32 sailings a week in from Redland Bay Marina platform 3, 4.1 nautical miles and 20 minutes, with the first at 04:55.
That 04:55 start is the clue to what this island is. Russell has thousands of residents but almost no services of its own, so the first boats of the day carry people to work on the mainland and the last ones bring them home. Boats run to 23:45 under four day patterns, and there is no bridge to any of the four inhabited islands in this group.
