"The king tide did not erode Bribie Island much further on Tuesday, after the powerful waters cut through the northern tip on Monday.
However, a Department of Environment and Science expert says it is only a matter of time before the island is permanently split in two, given the long-term erosion that has worn the island down.

DES principal coastal scientist Sel Saltmann said Bribie Island had been eroding about one metre a year as far as records went back.
"It may recover after this event, but the long-term erosion process is going to continue and it's most likely that Bribie Island will break through between Moreton Bay and Pumicestone Passage this year and the next few years," he said."
