Description

In the heart of Moreton Bay there lies an Isle whose ruined walls tell a tale of suffering and woe. For these walls were once cells and this island a prison.

St Helena Island By Day and By Night will help you relive those times during a dramatised tour of this historic site National Park. St Helena Island, once known as 'The Hell Hole of the Pacific' is now a tranquil isle set in Brisbane's Moreton Bay, just a short journey from Manly. For 65 years this pretty spot was home to some of the worst criminals Queensland could produce. Cat o' Nine Tails Cruises has regular day and night cruises to St Helena. Be adventurous and try the Ghost Tour or come during the day and enjoy the spectacular views whilst being enthralled by the stories of old St Helena.

Be glad you went, grateful you weren't sent.

Prison Life Experience

St Helena Island - Prison Life Experience allows the visitor to feel the way a prisoner felt when incarcerated on St Helena. Using drama, the guides will make you feel the agony and desperation of these men locked up just a short distance from their homes, often for minor offences by today's standard.

St Helena did also have its dark side as it housed some of the worst criminals in Queensland. Come along and hear their stories.
