Quandamooka people, Indigenous community in Moreton Bay region, Australia.

The Quandamooka are an indigenous people in the Moreton Bay region of southeastern Queensland, consisting of three tribes - Nunukul, Goenpul, and Ngugi - who inhabit the waters and islands of this bay. These three groups share common traditions and governance structures for their ancestral lands.

Archaeological work by V.V. Ponosov in the mid-1960s indicated that Aboriginal occupation of the Moreton Bay islands goes back at least 18,000 years. The Quandamooka first met Europeans in 1799, when Matthew Flinders spent several weeks exploring the bay. In 1824 John Oxley established a penal colony at Redcliffe with 50 settlers, 20–30 of them convicts, and the three tribes were later dispossessed of hunting and fishing grounds. In 2011 they won native title to 568 square kilometres after a 16-year legal battle.

The three tribes spoke dialects of a Durubalic language: Jandai among the Goenpul of central and southern Stradbroke Island, and Moondjan among the Nunukul of the north, named for its word for "no". Traditions were kept in art, songs and dances, and tools such as boomerangs, shields and reed dilly bags were decorated with burned or painted patterns.

The Quandamooka peoples' country covers North Stradbroke Island, Moreton Island and the southern bay waters, reached by ferry from Brisbane or Cleveland. Much of North Stradbroke is national park and native title land, so stay on marked tracks and check ferry times before crossing. Gustavus Birch's 30-year camp at Pulan Pulan (Amity Point) is a landmark to look for.

Gustavus Birch, a reclusive educated Englishman, left mainland life in 1873 and camped at Pulan Pulan (Amity Point) for over 30 years. His daily diary recorded who visited, what was caught and foraged, the weather, and many Aboriginal words with their local meanings, naming the men, women and children he lived among.
