Isolation and seclusion are big calling cards for most people moving to the Southern Moreton Bay Islands but life can be far from idyllic, particularly for people dealing with mental health issues.
Key points:
The region isn t funded for remoteness , making it harder to attract health care workers
Most of the services provide a part-time model
Just 20 minutes by ferry from Redland Bay and a further 40 minutes from Brisbane s CBD, the four inhabited islands have gained a reputation as a place for people seeking solitude and a new, quiet start.
