There is a small supermarket selling your essentials in the resort. This is expensive due to the fact of the extra cost of transporting goods to the island.
The Licensed General Store at Bulwar. Has your basic essentials like bread and milk and
Bulwer Garage has fuel, gas refills, firewood, ice and bait.
Bring some of your own essentials with you from Brisbane, this will save you some $$$

davidjo Says: Careful of driving your car along the sandy beach and definitely don't drive through any water as your car might get stuck
pedroswift Says: Have just returned from a four day trip to Moreton. Spent 20 minutes one day watching the antics of 6 corpulent tourists in a NSW registered people mover (non 4x4) - a hire car. They had taken the ferry across to Tangalooma then tried to leave the hard wet sand to gain...
Don't become a 'Road' Statisitic!
pedroswift Says: Much of the driving on Moreton island is done on the beaches which are designated roads and are subject to the same rules as other roads in Queensland. Ignore advice given in other places that hard sand is good for speeding at ??khp. The speed limit is 60kmh. Most beaches...
pedroswift Says: Many vehicles, including hired 4x4s driven by tourists, are lost each year on Queensland beaches at Moreton Island, Fraser Island etc. The reason: disregarding advice not to enter the water to pass rocky parts of the shore or to cross creeks flowing over the beach.Conduct an...
Openseas Says: Driving on the sand roads at times can be extremely difficult and you will probably get bogged once while trying to explore the island. However, its usually easy enough to free your car from. Pleas do take in this simple warnings. Beach conditions change constantly, driving...
it is not impossible to buy food or drinks on moreton island. in the resorts you'll find small stores where you can buy food and drinks. But be aware of the high prices! Buy your beer and meat for the barbecue at the shore were it's much cheaper!
Unique Suggestions: It's up to you wheter you prefer starving and spending an evening at the beach without beer or having a great barbecue with an empty pocket.
Fun Alternatives: buy all the stuff you need for the weekend on the island in a town at the shore. you won't regret it!
