Wedged between the mainland and [[North Stradbroke Island]], '''Russell Island''' is a small residential island off the coast of [[Brisbane]] in Moreton Bay. It is 8km long and nearly 3km wide. Land prices are a bargain compared to adjacent coastal towns, reflecting the inconvenience of commuting to work by ferry. There is no airfield on the island, and the jetty is at the northen tip, which is where most shops and facilities are located.
