"Friendly community, handy to public transport to take you to major shopping and beaches"
Nice place to live. Great to know that the new Merrimac Railway Station is to be built in the not too distance future. It will be an alternative to the bus. The station is to be located just a short stroll across the green space provided for the corridor, access to the station, plans show it to be, basically at the bottom of the gardens of Bourton Rd properties
"Our paradise"
For flexible people. Most the old timers here can help with free advice on the best way to get things over here or do things. Little Bus service, now available on all 4 islands. Drivers very friendly and obliging, the service meets most ferries, $5 each way for each passenger or you can get one of their discount cards and will cost you $4 each way for each passenger. OR walk or bike ride, Lamb is only 2klm long x 1klm wide, a few little hills but lots of flat areas also. We love it
Who lives here?
- Families with kids
Update: unfortunately at this time, our Little Bus service is out of action. Our great driver left and the business is having trouble finding a replacement, truth be known, there may not be enough business for them on our island of 450+ people. So back to self driving, walking or biking, as no public transport on any of the 4 islands, including Lamb
Update again: Dec' 2023 - The rec club has put in place the Lamb Van which is partially subsidized, it now only costs $4 per trip. The drivers are all friendly and our old driver is back driving again. Much needed and appreciated service. Currently you can book a ride or ask them to meet a particular ferry arrival, on 0448466421. The hours that the service runs can be a bit limited though but they do their best.

It certainly is a paradise, agreed. I love the views towards North Stradbroke island, beautiful
