A careful public chronology for the island and Couran Cove. Every entry carries a status and source; allegations are not presented as findings.
Queensland State Archives records that the Jumpinpin breakthrough developed between 1896 and 1898, separating North and South Stradbroke islands. Long before European mapping and resort development, the surrounding bay, islands and waterways were and remain Aboriginal Country. This launch history is deliberately limited. Future writing about people, development, mining, tourism and Couran Cove will be attributed and checked against primary material wherever possible.
