Tamwoy Reserve was established on 9 February 1957 on Thursday Island, Torres Strait. The Tamwoy Reserve is more commonly referred to by Torres Strait Islanders as Tamwoy Town. The Tamwoy Reserve 60th Anniversary oral history project conducted interviews during the TRAWQ 60 years celebration from the 4th - 9th February 2017. Since the establishment of Tamwoy Reserve in 1957 it has been a cultural and communal precinct for Islanders and recognized as the first of the five TRAWQ communities on Thursday Island (TRAWQ stands for Tamwoy, Rosehill, Aplin, Waiben and Quarantine). These five communities are on the north side of Thursday Island and separate to the Township of Port Kennedy. The interviewees are Islanders who reflect on issues such as housing, school, family life, employment and identity that were faced by early Torres Strait Islander residents living in Tamwoy Town.
