HMQS Gayundah was a flat-iron gunboat operated by the Queensland Maritime Defence Force and later the Royal Australian Navy (as HMAS Gayundah). She entered service in 1884 and was decommissioned and sold to a civilian company in 1921. She then served as sand and gravel barge in Brisbane until the 1950s, when she was scrapped. In 1958, Gayundah was run aground at Woody Point near Redcliffe, to serve as a breakwater structure.

I see from you BTL you played here as a child as I did. although back then we could climb down into the interior and only the lowest floor was filled with water. Constantly found sea creatures, especially soldier crabs. Magical days when parents allowed kids to go off and explore. Congratulation on the award. Good Onya!!
