Download coordinates as: Wynnum is a coastal suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[3] The suburb is a popular destination in Brisbane due to its coastline, jetty and tidal wading pool.

[5] Wynnum likely derives from a Durubalic word meaning pandanus palm (aka 'breadfruit')[6] or mud crab[citation needed].

[10] Aboriginal men from Black's Camp helped build the original Wynnum jetty in the 1850s, and in 1886, three local Aboriginal men, 'Johnny Murray, Tommy Nuggin and Sam', saved three European women from drowning in Wynnum Creek.

[11] Local Aboriginal people also ran fishing, oyster-catching and turtle hunting enterprises from Wynnum into the early 1900s, with these tours advertised in Brisbane's newspapers.

[12] There were some tensions with the European newcomers, including an unprovoked attack by local ruffians on the Aboriginal camp in Wynnum in 1884.

[14] The area remained sparsely settled by Europeans until the arrival of the railway in the late 1880s, but then grew fairly rapidly.

On Saturday 22 November 1890, 95 subdivided allotments of Wynnum Station Estate were auctioned by R. J. Cottell.

A map advertising the auction show them to be near Bridge Street and close to Wynnum Railway Station.

[23] After some years of fund raising, on Saturday 8 October 1896 the foundation stone was laid in the presence of the Bishop of Brisbane William Webber and the Premier of Queensland James Dickson.

[39] As the congregation grew, the need to enlarge the church resulted in a decision in 1930 to relocate the church building to 168 Bay Terrace on land donated by couple Edward Robert and Catherine Harriet Humphreys (members of the congregation).

[40][41][37][42] Guardian Angels Catholic Primary School was officially opened by Archbishop James Duhig on Sunday 4 October 1914.

[44][45] In November 1914, the Wynnum Sports Ground Estate was advertised as being available for sale on the ground by Cameron Bros.[46] In July 1921, Wavell's Vineyard Estate was advertised as being available for sale by public auction on the ground by Isles, Love & Co.[47] A congregation of the Church of Christ began meeting in the home of Mr and Mrs A. Hinrichsen in Bride Street, who then donated land in Mary Street (now 55 Berrima Street, 27°26′28″S 153°10′19″E / 27.4410°S 153.1719°E / -27.4410; 153.1719 (Wynnum Church of Christ (former))) for a chapel.

[54] Due to declining attendances and rising costs, the chapel held its final service on Sunday 29 September 2013.

[58][59]The Wynnum Seventh-day Adventist Church was established in late 1937 with the first minister being Pastor Septimus Wilfred Carr.

[60] On 21 August 1941, the Minister for Works and Education, Harry Bruce, laid the foundation stone for Wynnum State High School.

[72] It relocated at the start of 2010, reopening as Brisbane Bayside State College in Wynnum West.

On 26 September 1987 Pandanus Beach was officially opened by Tom Burns, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Lytton and resident of Wynnum.
