	Walkabout - Stradbroke Island
		North Stradbroke Island is about 38 km long and 11 km wide while South Stradbroke is smaller being only 22 km long and about 2.5 km wide.
		Although the islands (at the time it was just one island) were sighted by both Captain James Cook and Matthew Flinders it wasn't until 1827 that the name Stradbroke, after the then Earl of Stradbroke, was given to the island by his son, Captain H. Rous, the commander of the HMS Rainbow.
		Stradbroke Island's most famous resident was the late Kath Walker (Oodgeroo Noonuccal), the highly regarded Aboriginal poet, who was born on North Stradbroke, established the Noonuccal Nughie Education and Cultural Centre on the island, and who has been at the forefront of attempts to curb the large scale sandmining which has occurred.
