Explore Straddie: win a return transfer

Explore Straddie's history.



THERE'S a lot to be said about North Stradbroke Island's long and rich history.

In fact, Dunwich - one of the three townships on the island - is home to Queensland's first Benevolent Asylum which housed the old and infirm between 1866 to 1946.

Some buildings in Dunwich today date from this period and the Dunwich cemetery contains 8426 unmarked graves from this largely unknown chapter of Queensland history.

The North Stradbroke Island Historical Museum (15-17 Welsby Street, Dunwich) is the perfect place to learn more about the island.

And don't miss out on the current exhibition at the museum, showcasing 50 years of Stradbroke Ferries.

Take advantage of a Stradbroke Ferries deal with the walk-on fare for the vehicle ferry for just $10 adult return or $5 return for children.

Otherwise why not take your car over on Saturday with the Sunrise Special at just $85 return for same day travel, conditions apply.
