Once the 'Dunwich Benevolent Asylum' - a home for the destitute -
this small but impressive museum describes shipwrecks and harrowing voyages, and gives
an introduction to the island's rich Aboriginal history (the Quandamooka are the tradition-
al owners of Minjerribah, aka Straddie). Island artefacts include the skull of a sperm
whale washed up on Main Beach in 2004, and the old Point Lookout lighthouse lens.
