Remote Indigenous island community in the eastern Torres Strait, also known as Murray Island and home to the Meriam people. Renowned for its cultural heritage and ties to the Mabo decision, it offers pristine reefs and a traditional lifestyle with very limited services.
Why families love Mer Island
Predominantly Torres Strait Islander (Meriam) community with Meriam Mir language, strong kinship ties, and a subsistence/sea-based lifestyle. Quiet and community-focused, with employment largely in local services, education, and council roles; minimal tourism and limited retail.
