This authoritative local history compiles archival research, oral testimony, and photographic documentation to construct a comprehensive narrative of North Stradbroke Island’s transformation from pre-colonial times through the 20th century. The editors chronicle Indigenous stewardship, colonial incursion, and the emergence of Dunwich as a central administrative and social hub. The volume illustrates the island’s layered past through maps, portraits, and site histories, arguing for its significance as both a cultural landscape and a contested historical space. It documents the interplay between Aboriginal heritage and European settlement, instructing readers on the enduring legacies of displacement, adaptation, and resilience.
