This map shows Moreton Bay, located on the coast of Queensland, Australia, near Brisbane. My great-great-grandfather's brother Ola Peter Troedson arrived at Moreton Bay on 12 August 1871, on the Friedeburg, which had departed from Hamburg, Germany.

Moreton Island, the world's third largest sand Island, is on the eastern side of Moreton Bay.
