About
South Stradbroke Island (Indigenous: Minjerribah), colloquially South Straddie, is an island that lies within Moreton Bay south-southeast of Brisbane in the Australian state of Queensland and forms the northern end of the city of Gold Coast. The island is a locality within the City of Gold Coast. In the 2021 census, South Stradbroke Island had a population of 142 people.
The 21-kilometre (13 mi) by 2.5-kilometre (1.6 mi) sized island, approximately 31.3 square kilometres (12.1 sq mi) in area, is the smaller of the two Stradbroke Islands and lies very close to the mainland. The island has hundreds of wild wallabies that are usually inured to the presence of humans. They are well known for stealing bread from tents and cabins, and joining campers at their fires.
