Once the Club House for the Golf Club, now opposite the local RSL. Two ladies have had an enjoyable decade here and nurtured what now is almost Botanical Gardens with under cover car accomodation.

It’s a perfect weekender get-a-way or a place for the boys to fish and play in peace. This little gem is now offered for sale for the first time in 15 years. Priced to sell with all of a beautiful Straddie lifestyle without the Straddie price tag.

LIVING IN DUNWICH

How would you like to live in a community that is tight knit and everybody knows your name . You think the days of knowing your butcher, baker, grocer and newsagent by first name basis, and where they all look out for you, are gone? When you collect your mail from the Dunwich P.O. you will see familiar smiling faces always willing to go that extra mile just for you. And yes, you can do your banking at the P.O. too.

“Where would I go to relax in the evening to get out of the house and have a beer or a wine, and does that mean having to get into a car?” Try crossing the road to the RSL. Here is a place to relax with your friends, or have a quiet drink on your own and chat to some locals and tourists, where again, everyone knows your name. And the RSL prices are great, so grab a meal from the wonderful catering, and enjoy the view across to the Bay.

Whether you are a resident of Dunwich or a visitor, you have access to a wonderful emergency centre within walking distance from anywhere in Dunwich. Whether its a broken arm or a suspected heart attack you will be seen far quicker than if you had to go the one of the main hospitals in Brisbane. An emergency voluntary rescue service is available just next to the Little Ship Club and if you need speedy transport to the mainland for medical treatment you will be quickly evacuated by boat or by helicopter.

For elderly and disabled residents a Respite Centre is available in Dunwich which offers companionship, card games, massage, exercise classes, lunch every day, activities and regular outings. Meals on Wheels is also available for those who prefer to eat at home. There is a pick up service for getting to and from the Centre, as well as a transport service for all medical appointments. And get this: they will also transport you to and from the mainland for your specialist appointments. Can you tell me where in Brisbane you can get this similar quality of care?

“So what will I do during the day when I’m retired on this beautiful World Heritage Island?” For a start, there is fishing, swimming, walking along the beaches and parklands by the Bay; visiting the Island lakes, playing golf, or taking the well marked Heritage Walk set up by the award-winning local Museum in the heart of Dunwich. The Museum holds frequent social events on specific historical themes. Did you know that Dunwich has a long history from the very earliest days of the first penal settlement in Queensland? You might even put your hand up to help out with the voluntary work at the Museum.
