It seems the Moorgumpin-meaning 'place of sandhills' is spelled differently. According to the research, it is more likely to be Mulgumpin (Moreton Island).

Bulwer is a small holiday and fishing village, surrounded by National Park on the N.W. coast of Moreton Island. Great use of tree branches to help secure the tent. The cut pole fence suggests a more permanent stay perhaps.

Mulgumpin (Moreton Island) represents one of the most outstanding records of continuing geological, geomorphological, and biological processes that formed the sand island masses of South East Queensland. The natural dune processes of erosion, accretion and stabilisation by vegetation and the development and infilling of lakes and swamps have continued relatively undisturbed by human activities. Mount Tempest, reaching 285m, is thought to be the highest stabilised sand dune in the world. Mulgumpin (Moreton Island) is also currently the only area in the region where Pleistocene dunes have been naturally destabilised and are being actively reworked. Examples of this are seen at The Desert south of Tangalooma and the Big and Little Sandhills. The only rock on the island is the rocky headlands in the Cape Moreton–North Point area. These are mainly of the Bundamba Group (siliceous sandstone, conglomerate, minor siltstone, and shale) with Undifferentiated Volcanics (mainly rhyolite). These landforms support distinct vegetation types which are uncommon and of conservation concern in South East Queensland. Source: parks.des.qld.gov.au/parks/gheebulum-kunungai-moreton-isl...
