North Stradbroke Island Museum on Minjerribah

The museum's objective and rationale is to represent the 65,000 years or so of Aboriginal history, the British invasion and colonisation and a complex shared history of less than 200 years. The Museum aims to properly engage with, document and display the shared journey of living together on Minjerribah and that the museum is on unceded Quandamooka Lands.

Experience Minjerribah's history through the stories of the people who have lived here.

There are a range of permanent displays about the Quandamooka people, British invasion, convict history, shipwrecks and maritime history, the story of sand mining on the Island, as well as lots of photos of the old fishing shacks, boats and buses that helped kick off the tourism industry on Straddie.

There is also a room dedicated to sharing the story of the Dunwich Benevolent Asylum, and the political struggle of the Quandamooka workers, known as the 'Aboriginal Gang', to get equal wages with the white workers.

Everyone can enjoy the award-winning family-friendly museum and are welcome to browse through the Museum shop for local publications, gifts or a jar of the famous cumquat marmalade.

Well behaved dogs welcome.
