Wellington Point Wellington Point, a suburb on Moreton Bay, is 21 km east of central Brisbane. It was named by the colonial surveyor James Warner, probably as a compliment to the Duke of Wellington. The point is a slender, northwards promontory with picnic facilities and a sailing club at its end. The area was originally part of Louis Hope's Ormiston estate and was associated with his early attempts at sugar growing. A sugar mill was successfully converted to a timber mill, which continued until the 1890s. A school was opened in 1887 and a Methodist church in 1888. In common with the Redcliffe Peninsula, Wellington Point was the subject of speculative subdividers, but unlike Redcliffe, it had a timely railway connection (1887). By 1901 Wellington Point had 270 people. Apart from timber and land subdivisions, Wellington Point formed an Agriculture, Horticulture, and Industries Association (1890). There were dairying, citrus, and other fruits, vegetables, and displays by coach-builders at its shows. The Agriculture, Horticulture, and Industries Association held its last show in 1939, but suburban growth was minor until the 1970s. Wellington Point has retained a reputation as a popular picnic spot, with views across Moreton Bay. In Main Road, near Marlborough Road, several historic cottages and Whepstead Manor can be seen. The Manor (1889) is a two-story verandahed boom-style residence set in spacious, mature gardens. It is listed on the Queensland heritage register Source: queenslandplaces.com.au/wellington-point.

'Walking on water' across the spectacular low-tide sand bridge from Wellington Point to King Island is a Redlands Coast signature experience and one of the most unique walks in southeast Queensland. A stunning sand causeway emerges from beneath the Moreton Bay waters between the Wellington Point (Cullen Cullen) mainland and the tiny, uninhabited King Island at low tide, forming a natural bridge for walkers. It’s a two-kilometer return walk – great for kids who can paddle along the way and spot a variety of wildlife. Source: www.queensland.com/in/en/things-to-do/attractions/p-5daf9...

Yarrabah Mission, now known as Yarrabah Community, was founded by Reverend John Brown (JB) Gribble in 1892 to protect the Gunggandji’s from the ongoing rampant exploitation of these people. JB fell ill shortly after he arrived so his eldest son Ernest inherited his legacy. Ernest Gribble went on to become one of the most controversial Missionaries in Australia. His career lasted for 64 years, making him the longest-serving Anglican Missionary. Gribble aspired for the Yarrabah population to take pride and control in their community. He implemented a government, formed from indigenous members, and a court (also staffed by indigenous members of the community) that monitored the behavior of the residents. Gribble also crowned a King, King Menmuny, who reigned over the Mission and looked after his people. By 1904, another mission on Fraser Island was closed and 117 residents were forcibly relocated to Yarrabah Mission. A move which was naturally resented and resisted by those involved. Mass breakouts and instances of insubordination became common so the court decided to expel the ringleaders to Fitzroy Island. Gribble secured a lease on Fitzroy Island in 1905 and the first 30 people were moved out to the new outstation ‘Kobahra’. The Kobahra residents were quick to build eight buildings including a coral church. They also planted coconuts, paw paws, mangoes, yams and other crops in an effort to become self-sufficient on the island. The settlement was closed in 1912 after residents petitioned the Protector of Aboriginals for their release. The island continued to be leased to the Yarrabah Mission for many years afterwards. While the Yarrabah Mission no longer maintained a permanent population on Fitzroy Island, it became a popular location for special occasions such as picnics and organised outings. World War II With the outbreak of war in the Pacific the Yarrabah Mission lost its’ lease. The Imperial Japanese Navy had a series of submarines patrolling our coast and attacking shipping. Cairns was the nearest main port for traffic bound to Papua New Guinea via Townsville. Due to the constant threat of attack, the No. 28 Radar Station was established on Fitzroy Island in 1942. No. 28 Radar Station monitored all shipping and air traffic approaching Cairns. Welcome Bay also served as a transient mooring for destroyers and cruisers waiting to join shipping convoys heading to Port Moresby. Between 1942 and 1945 over 100 servicemen served with the No. 28 Radar Station. In addition to the Radar Station, servicemen also manned a Wireless Signal Station and a Morse code-blinking Lighthouse. Submarine Indicator Loops spread through Welcome Bay were constantly monitored. The combination of these efforts uncovered a Japanese submarine lurking around the island in May 1943. The station monitored its movements for nine days while it avoided multiple attempts by the Royal Australian Navy to destroy it with depth charges. It finally slipped away on the 17th of May leaving the Investigating Officers at a loss as to its mission although it was theorized that it may have been dropping off or collecting spies. The World War II military base camp was on the site of the current Turtle Rehabilitation Centre. The dam constructed by the servicemen to store water can be seen at the start of the Summit track.
