Vessels may anchor virtually anywhere within Brisbane Water with due regard to submarine cables, ferry movements, non-obstruction of navigable channels and, of course, wind direction. Visitor should be aware of the impact of both southerlies and westerlies and shelter accordingly.

The bottom is excellent holding in most places if you remain outside the weed-line, which ends at around three metres.
