island of australia?

Question

what islands buy a house on off the east coast of australia

Answer 1

There are not too many islands off the east coast where you can buy a house. Many of the islands are either national parks or privately owned. Scotland Island in Pittwater north of Sydney is one but it really isn't off the coast. I am not sure of the status of Magnetic Island off Townsville, I believe there are some private houses there so you might be lucky. I don't think you will have any luck with the Whitsunday or Barrier Reef islands but you might be able to buy a house on one of the Torres Strait Islands. South you will have more luck with the Bass Strait Islands and Bruny Island east of Hobart.

Answer 2

Australia is the smallest continent in the world, but also the largest island.
There are some islands off Australia's eastern seaboard that allow private ownership. Magnetic Island - off Townsville and Hamilton Island, - which is in the Great Barrier Reef have private ownership. Occasionally properties become available on Lord Howe Island, but that is quite a distance from Australia's coast.
Kangaroo Island (which is situated off Australia's south coast) consists of national park and private ownership. There is plenty of choice regarding real estate and prices are quite cheap compared to the median house/land price in Australia.

Answer 3

Islands off the east coast of australia that have good properties include Moreton Island, North Stradbroke Island, Coohie Mudlow Island and Russel Island.

Answer 4

Australia is a country and a continent...
an island cannot buy a house on, off the east coast .... or anywhere.

Answer 5

If you mean what islands can you buy a house on (that are off the coast of Australia then try:

and punch in :

Bribie Island
Magnetic Island
Moreton Island
Stradbroke Island
Coochiemudlo Island


I'm sure there are more but that should give you a start.

Answer 6

Good question. Australia is a huge island and at the same time it is a continent. Greenland is an island but not really regarded as a continent, because as the Random House dictionary describes it, a continent is generally regarded as main land mass of the planet. Greenland definitely doesn't fit this description, cause it is not massive enough. The continents of our globe are generally known as Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica.. These are all gigantic land masses. This is the qualifying factor, but not all encompassing. However if you want to regard Greenland as a continent, you may do so, also according to the Random House dictionary's description.

Answer 7

I assume you typed two different questions in this post as it doesn't really make sense. If you are asking which islands are off the east coast of Australia, there are a bunch of them (hundreds to thousands actually). Some of the more famous ones are Fraser, Musgrave, Whitsunday Island and Elliott which are known for scuba diving, pirate excursions, etc. Others are national parks and wildlife habitats. Many are just sand bunkers :-)
