The island is eight kilometres long (north-to-south) and nearly three kilometres wide. The channel separating it from the mainland is known as Canaipa Passage. ==History== A basic survey of the island was conducted by Robert Dixon in 1839. He named the island after Lord John Russell the Secretary of State for the Colonies in the 1840s. The island was first settled by Europeans in 1866, when John Campbell was granted a lease on the northern end of the island closely followed by John Willes and his family.〔Dorrington, Wendy: The Pioneers of Russell Island, self-published, 2003, Russell Island, QLD, ISBN 1-876780-39-8〕 Land auctions commenced in 1870.〔 Farmers and oystermen were the first full-time inhabitants, but with the arrival of the Jackson family in 1906, a small village was created on the western side of the island called Jacksonville, that had a sawmill, pineapple canning factory, jetty and even a picture theatre.〔 A small school was opened in 1916.〔 Russell Island is known for the infamous land scams of the early 1970s, when many of the islands farms were divided into over 20,000 blocks.〔 At the time, the area, with a population of less than 500, did not have a local authority enforcing planning regulations. Heavily advertised and sold off by unscrupulous vendors, these blocks were often not where the unwary customers thought they were buying.〔 It all rode on the vague promise of a bridge from the National Party government at the time. Media reports exposing the scam pointed to blocks that were underwater at high tide and the lack of public land.〔''The Russell Island Land Fraud'' in Grabosky, Peter (ed.)
