Here are some old maps of oyster leases and such that we used in our proposal to restore oyster reefs.

I love old maps of the bay. Very interesting history. 

I remember the jetty at Peel Is. and Cleveland pt. Pitty that clevlands jetty was removed. Was a great fishing platform as it went a long way out. Caught some good fish off it back in the day. 

 

An old bloke that lives at amity pt. told me that many years ago there was a horse racing track there. I was totally unaware of this. But it makes sense as he said this is where the "Stradbroke cup" was born. Erosion of the rainbow chanel became its demise.

If you like a bit of local history, you will enjoy this brief history of Stradbroke Island. The racecourse gets a mention, and @Drop Bear will be happy to see that oysters are also highlighted.

That didn’t work too well. Here is the link. I love getting to Dunwich an hour or so before the barge on the way home. Grab some lunch from the big cafe there and wander through the old cemetery. Very interesting (and also one of the best places for koala spotting if you have overseas visitors).

You can zoom right in on the maps to see better scale also handy if you wish to find out if an area is accessible to infantry
