NSI Golf Club

iam: hosting the Minjerribah Photography aways

Nestled into its beautiful bushland setting, east of Dunwich, you find The North Stradbroke Island Golf Club. Over many decades the Club has been developed and lovingly cared for by its volunteers, earning it several award nominations as one of the best small country golf courses in Australia. 

The competition’s Open Section prize honours Minjerribah elders and North Stradbroke Island Golf Club founding members, the late Aunty Margaret and Uncle Pat Iselin. Aunty Margaret was the first golfer to score a hole in one on the 12th Hole, just after the course opened. Margaret Iselin was a long-standing chairwoman of the Minjerribah Moorgumpin Elders-in-Council and she and her husband Pat were instrumental in opening people’s hearts and eyes to the depth of Aboriginal knowledge and culture in the Island community.

The course, which is home to an abundance of wildlife including Eastern Grey kangaroos, swamp wallabies, stone curlews and glossy-black cockatoos, is in full bloom with native flowers come late winter/early spring — and it is those FLOWERS which this year form the theme for the photography competition.
