Mirriginpah

This significant place marker designed by Quandamooka artist Belinda Close location at Cabarita Park, Amity Point (Pulan Pulan) on North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) acknowledges the importance of Quandamooka culture and its story provided a unique insight for island visitors into a connection between people and place that extends more than 21,000 years.

The Amity (Pulan) sculpture, which also acts as a weathervane, depicts the sea eagle Mirriginpah soaring high above the waters of Moreton Bay in search of food, alerting the Quandamooka People to the annual arrival of mullet – a story that is millennia-old.

The three dolphins in the sculpture represent our three Clans – Noonuccal, Gorenpul and Nughie.

Funded by the Queensland Government, the Amity Point and Point Lookout artwork projects are led by Redland City Council in collaboration with the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation (QYAC) and the artists.
