Dutch, Portuguese and French probably mapped the coastline around Stradbroke

Timbergetters Pamphlett, Finnegan and Parsons were shipwrecked on Moreton
Island and spent the next eight months travelling around Moreton Bay. The
Noonucals at Pulan (Amity Point) looked after them for nearly six weeks. They
housed, fed and advised the trio on canoe making, and saw them off some months
later in the craft they’d made on the island. During their time on Minjerribah
(Stradbroke Island), the three experienced bora gatherings, and ceremonial,
celebratory and gladatorial events.
