Tannum Sands

Tannum Sands is a small locality located in Queensland

History
The Area around present-day Tannum Sands was originally known as Wild Cattle Creek and had been a fishing place for the residents of Boyne Island. But it was inaccessible and so not settlements were made there. The town was named Tannum when sunburnt children returned from a picnic by the beach and made a comment that the QLD land Department liked. The town got the name Tannum Sands in 1951
