The island is owned by Wayne Rumble: it was given to him by his South African-born parents, who bought it in 2003.
Between 2012 and 2015 the island was leased by Queensland brewer Castlemaine Perkins and, for the duration, renamed XXXX Island as a promotional campaign for their beer, Castlemaine XXXX. Over the course of the 3 years, 3000 visitors enjoyed trips to XXXX Island.
