Stradbroke Island Lazaret was established over an area of approximately 17 acres, about a mile from Dunwich Jetty, on Stradbroke Island, Moreton Bay. It was situated beside the Dunwich Benevolent Asylum, a location that was next to a swamp and described as dark and miserable.The lazaret only housed male white patients.
In 1907, Stradbroke Island Lazaret was closed and all patients were transferred to Peel Island, where a new lazaret was established for both European and non-European patients. 11 year old Noel Agnew was among the patients transferred to Peel Island.
