	Walkabout - Stradbroke Island
		The islands, they were separated by a storm in 1896, are only 13 km from the seaside suburbs of Cleveland and Redland Bay by regular ferry services.
		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.

	North Stradbroke Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		North Stradbroke Island is an Australian island in the state of Queensland, 30 km southeast of the capital Brisbane.
		As an alternative, development of the island for seaside residential use was mooted and in 1970 a bridge from the mainland via Russell Island was under serious consideration by the Queensland government.
		North Stradbroke Island is known for its long clean white beaches in the east, its peacefulness due to a long isolation and its rich diversity of nature varying from whales passing Point Lookout to the many wild orchids in the interior of the island.

	Notes On North Stradbroke Island, Queensland, Australia
		North and South Stradbroke Islands were initially joined and separated in 1895 after a violent storm to give the passage known as Jumpinpin.
		It is probable that the former Stradbroke Island joined the Spit at Southport, as neither Cook (in 1770) nor Flinders (in 1799) recorded the passage now known as The Southport Bar.
		It is also possible that Moreton Island joined Stradbroke Island in recent times, as Cook (in 1770) did not note the South Passage Bar, Flingers (in 1799) being the first to record it.
