Amity is a coastal town and locality on North Stradbroke Island in the City of Redland, Queensland, Australia.

The site was chosen as a pilot station by John Gray because of its location close to the South Passage into Moreton Bay.

[6] A supply boat called The Otter, which also carried tourists, ran between Brisbane's central business district and Amity from 1885 to 1946.

The other top responses for country of birth were England 4.4%, New Zealand 1.7%, Solomon Islands 1.2%, Papua New Guinea 1.2%, Latvia 1.2%.

[citation needed] The only government infrastructure for the town is a single jetty, a library, a community hall, a Fire Station and a post office.

[15] It is a very small library being only 22 square metres (240 sq ft) on the veranda of the local community hall and open only 9 hours each week.

The cricket club at Amity is the only investment by the private sector that is catered for the local populace of the town, though it still receives much business from tourists.

[citation needed] The forests surrounding Amity are subtropical rainforests with a significant amount of diversity in both flora and fauna.

[citation needed] The flowering rate of these ferns are very slow, and the trees are protected by Australian law so that only the Aboriginals, the original people of the island, may harvest them.

[citation needed] The beaches around Amity township have been eroded heavily by the rainbow channel, but Flinders Beach, 2–3 kilometres (1.2–1.9 mi) to the east, and the Wanga Wallen Bank approximately 500 m (1,640 ft) to the south are in pristine condition, with a range of wildlife from U-Tube worms to Wobbegongs, a small brown shark, all present.
