The Aborigines had been visiting Peel Island, in southeast Queensland's Moreton Bay, for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. However, the first European to chart the island was Matthew Flinders, in 1799. Captain James Cook had sailed right past the opening to Moreton Bay when he charted the eastern coastline in 1770.
