Dunwich Convict Causeway, Historic convict-built causeway in North Stradbroke Island, Australia.
The stone retaining wall stretches along Junner Street in Dunwich, featuring rough red stones carefully positioned without mortar during its construction in 1827.
The causeway served as the primary landing point for vessels entering Moreton Bay, facilitating the transportation of supplies and prisoners to the Brisbane penal settlement.
The structure demonstrates the engineering capabilities of convict laborers who quarried stones from Doctor's Hill using traditional European building methods of the period.
Modern visitors can observe the original stonework while using the adjacent barge and water taxi services that connect North Stradbroke Island to the mainland.
The causeway remains one of the earliest surviving maritime structures in Queensland, representing the initial European settlement phase in Moreton Bay.
