Wondunna, Queensland, is a rural residential
suburb located in Hervey Bay. The Wondunna
area was named after an Aboriginal tracker,
Willie Wondunna, who was from Fraser Island. It
was formally named in 1980. Wondunna
was popular for being one of the trackers who
were tasked to hunt the Kelly Gang, headed by
Edward "Ned" Kelly. To some, Ned Kelly was
a murderous outlaw, while to others, he was a
hero likened to Robin Hood. Ned Kelly was
eventually captured and then hanged at the
Old Melbourne Gaol in 1880.

Today, Wondunna is served by a local store, a
community swimming pool inside a sports
reserve and two schools: Fraser Coast Anglican
College and the Star of the Sea Catholic
College. Wondunna's nearby attractions
include the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery
and the Hervey Bay Historical Village &
Museum.
