SMBI promotional video by local business

Bay Islands Photography, a relatively new local business has started production on a short promotional film for the Bay Islands. It was originally going to be a very short feature on Macleay Island, but as word has spread and interest has grown, it has now been expanded to include all 4 of the Southern Moreton Bay Islands. Video editing is handled by a sister company Wishie Multimedia. The goal is to make a video that will not only promote the island on the mainland and interstate, but also hopefully inspire people that live on the islands to take a look around, and soak in all the beauty the islands have to offer. Bay Islands Photography are also looking for people to assist in the 'filming' of this video, as well as other photographers to provide any images they would like included in the final product. They are also open to submissions from local musicians, so that their music may be included in the final production. They plan on releasing a DVD with the short video…

New Features

Over the last month or so, we have been thinking up ways to make life easier for the locals. For this reason, we have teamed up with Bay Islands Events to bring you an up to date events calendar for the Southern Moreton Bay Islands. Whether you are on Macleay, Russell, Lamb or Karragarra, you can now be kept up to date on local events. We have also added some great informational pages on the Bay Islands, and are trying to source images and artwork from local artists and photographers. If you have an image you would like to include on one of the islands pages, please contact us.
