Bengalee is a small beach community located on the southeastern tip of Wild Cattle Island in Queensland, Australia. It's a quiet spot right by the ocean!
What is Bengalee?
Bengalee has about 16 plots of land where people have built houses or small cabins. Most of these homes are used for holidays and fun activities, not as someone's main home. It's a great place for people to relax and enjoy the beach.
History of the Name
Bengalee officially became a recognized place name in Queensland in 1972. This means it was formally added to the list of places in the state.
