About the Macleay Island, platform 2Lamb Island crossing

Five minutes between Macleay and Lamb in the Southern Moreton Bay Islands, 51 sailings a day running from 00.03 to 23.33.

A round-the-clock island link

The SMBI network is not a tourist service. With sailings in almost every hour of the day, it functions as the local road between four inhabited islands and the mainland at Redland Bay.

Platform 2

Macleay has two numbered platforms and this service uses the second. Different SMBI routes berth at different platforms, so the number matters when you are working out where to wait.

Macleay's two platforms serve different island routes; this one leaves from the second.

  • go card / contactless / 50c flat fare
