First Free Settlers Monument, Heritage monument in Nundah, Australia
The First Free Settlers Monument stands as an octagonal sandstone cairn with bronze plaques on each face at the intersection of Sandgate Roads.
Built in 1938, this memorial marks the centenary of the first free settlers' arrival in Moreton Bay district, where German Protestant families established their community.
The monument includes inscriptions detailing the names and contributions of Protestant missionaries and skilled workers who developed the early Queensland settlement.
The memorial sits within a maintained park area equipped with benches, drinking fountains, and flagpoles, accessible from Sandgate Road in Nundah.
Each October, descendants of original settlers gather at this Queensland Heritage Register site to commemorate their ancestors' arrival through an annual ceremony.
