Dunwich

Set along the western shore of North Stradbroke Island in Moreton Bay, Dunwich is a place whose character is shaped by its position between island bushland and the sheltered waters facing Brisbane. It is the principal settlement on Minjerribah, part of Quandamooka Country, where the Quandamooka people maintain enduring connections to land and sea. Dunwich’s layered colonial past includes its use as a quarantine station and as the site of the Dunwich Benevolent Asylum; the historic cemetery recalls that institutional era. Ferries make the town a practical arrival point for the island, while nearby roads lead toward beaches, wetlands and coastal communities.
