During the early stages of World War II coastal
fortifications were built at the northern end of Bribie Island (Fort
Bribie), and at Skirmish Point (Skirmish Battery) at the southern
end near the seaside village of Woorim, as part of the defence of
the port of Brisbane. Check out the
Fort Bribie

Indicator Loops of the Royal Australian Navy at Bribie Island
site. What are Indicator Loops? Indicator Loops were developed by
the Royal Navy in the early 1900s to detect enemy submarines in
their ports. Source:
