North Stradbroke Island-Minjerribah lying just off Brisbane is famous for its magnificent surfing beaches and spectacular humpback whales swimming close to shore. But there is so much more to this ancient sand island’s natural world.
Friends of Stradbroke Island (FOSI) are dedicated to the protection of the delicate and unique environment of Minjerribah and its surrounding waters. This beautiful place is home to plants, wildlife and places not found anywhere else on earth.
In 1988, FOSI was formed to oppose inappropriate development at Cylinder Beach and members have been involved in efforts to preserve Cylinder Beach’s outstanding scenic coastal landscapes ever since.
The late Jani Haenke essentially founded Friends of Stradbroke Island in 1988, after the threatened construction of a concrete high-rise at Cylinder Beach on the site of Clayton’s cottages. Jani organised and funded the initial court case and after losses then successes the proposal was defeated.
