The Gayundah was one of Queensland’s first naval vessels, built in England and commissioned in 1884 for the Queensland Maritime Defence Force. It later became HMAS Gayundah after Federation, served into the First World War period, and was eventually sold for civilian use before being beached below the Woody Point cliffs in 1958 as a breakwater. Today, the rusting remains are a distinctive foreshore landmark and a reminder of Queensland’s short-lived colonial navy.
