The Moreton Bay Discovery Centre Museum is located on William Gunn Jetty, in the heart of Manly Harbour Village and Marina, on Quandamooka Country. It showcases the natural and historical wonders of Moreton Bay for local, interstate and international visitors.

The Discovery Centre supports environmental values and sustainable uses to help protect the rich, biodiverse local environment and unique marine wildlife of Moreton Bay for current and future generations to experience. Where else in the Brisbane bayside community can you see vision of dugongs, turtles, dolphins, manta rays and the thousands of amazing migratory shore birds that call Moreton Bay home?

The Discovery Centre encourages learning about Moreton Bay’s colonial history, with visual displays of St Helena Island, Fort Lytton National Park and Peel Island.

Growing local and regional tourism is informed and serviced by an accredited Tourism and Visitor Information Centre adjacent to the Discovery Centre.

Use of the Discovery Centre by the local community enhances our sense of place in Manly Village, particularly when connected to the many land and sea festivities in the Manly and Wynnum area.
The Moreton Bay Discovery Centre Museum is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation working alongside community organisations, universities and research projects. As it is a registered charity, you can make a tax-deductible donation using the link below.
