Masig Island, QLD 4875, is a small, remote island located in the Torres Strait, off the northern tip of Queensland, Australia. It is home to the Masigalgal people, an Indigenous Torres Strait Islander community. The island, also known as Yorke Island, is known for its rich cultural heritage, traditional practices, and close-knit community. With a population of around 300 residents, life on Masig Island is deeply connected to the sea, with fishing and aquatic activities playing a central role in both livelihoods and cultural traditions. The island offers stunning natural beauty, including pristine beaches and clear waters, but its remote location means limited access to services and infrastructure. Despite challenges, the community is resilient and proud of their cultural identity and island home.
