Yeah the music was pretty bad. I was thinking of playing my guitar and singing, but I would probalby have been banned from Youtube.

Don't really think the photos and music do the place justice. A few nice sunrise and sunset shots in there would help convey more mood. It is a great place however.

Thanks for the comment. I agree a few sunset and sunrise shots would have be great.

i love that place- but be warned. i saw a guy fall overboard one night we were fishing out the back, and he didn't come up for a while, so, just as a guy was gonna jump in, he came up....dead. his legs had been bitten off by a 18 foot tiger shark... and when i went there yesterday, i hooked a fish that nearly snapped my new overhead reel that was designed to land 5 metre marlin easy! so i pulled it up, and this great white shark, 5 metres long, had taken the bait!!!

Hi Gizmooo,

Thanks for the headsup. It must have been pretty creepy seeing the guy pop to the surface.

i lived there for 6 months loved the freedom and beaches but the only problem i had was some of the people were ferrels and poeple hooning around in cars my sisters recived mental trama from a group of children that live there but all in all its a nice island but beware of some people and children over there

I had my first kiss on this island today :D

[Martinxxxxxxxxxxx]

do you need to have a boat to get there? does every1 in this country has his own boat?

[kecksc72]

very nice island, we have a boat moored over there 100 mtrs from the beach will be sitting down there relaxing for chrissy.

i love cooochie! =] stayed at quirky cottages, very quiet litle island with friendly people

[dustywaters]

the island is realy nice, but i think you should take your video of the web. not that its bad, but i think a place like coochie shouldn't be advertised at all, cause then it looses the thing that makes it. something special, protect it!

cheers mate!

can you say where these two incidents took place - My family have been in the same house on Coochie for 70 years my grandfather was an original resident. As a child (now 50) we regularly ran a 300ft fishing net straight off the beach at the boat ramp at night and the biggest thing we ever got were gummy sharks of about 3-4 ft. (great eating)..My grandfather was a game fisherman and never caught nor encountered sharks there but held tiger shark records in Moreton Bay.I have pics of the sharks.
