About
Bribie Island Seaside Museum opened on 14 May 2010 at 1 South Esplanade, Bongaree, on the Pumicestone Passage side of Bribie Island, in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. It is operated by City of Moreton Bay. The Queensland Government contributed $1 million to the museum’s construction through the Q150 Legacy Infrastructure program. During her visit in August 2010, Queensland Local Government Minister Desley Boyle suggested Bribie Island was arguably the birthplace of Queensland's tourism industry, referring to the steam ship Koopa's regular run to the island carrying 800 passengers.
