The Quandamooka people are the Traditional Owners of Quandamooka (Moreton Bay and its islands), including Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) and the land on which Moreton Bay Research Station is built.

Traditional Owners have rich traditions and a strong connection to their land and sea Country, and are integral to the Quandamooka Estate’s growth.

We work closely with the Quandamooka people, and the UQ/QYAC Memorandum of Understanding allows the undertaking of joint research and development projects on Quandamooka Country. 

Learn about the traditional and living culture of Minjerribah’s Traditional Owners and areas of cultural significance on the island.
This UQ/QYAC attraction will showcase continuing spiritual connections to whales, as well as scientific insights into the animals.
