Bulwer Island is a 120 hectares (1.2 km2) reclaimed tidal mangrove island at the mouth of the Brisbane River in the suburb of Pinkenba, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

It is named for Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, the British Colonial Secretary who separated Queensland from New South Wales in 1859 and made Sir George Bowen its first Governor.

[1][2] In May 1961 a TAA DC-4 airliner crashed onto Bulwer Island during landing at Brisbane Airport.

An oil refinery commenced operations in 1965, and was converted to an import terminal in 2015.

In 1983 it was replaced by a skeletal tower and relocated to the Queensland Maritime Museum in Brisbane.
