The town on the island is also called Darnley but the locality is called Erub Island, both being within the local government area of Torres Strait Island Region.[2][3] Approximately 400 people live on Darnley Island. There are two stores, one school and a health centre. Accommodation is available through Norah's Guest House and the council run 'five star' dongas. The effective community language is Brokan (Torres Strait Creole), though many people still speak Meriam Mir, the traditional language. Darnley Island became better known around Australia in 2015 when the acting school principal asked via social media for donations of books to assist her primary school children and their education. Her efforts resulted in more than 18000 shares on Facebook and hundreds of books being sent to the island.[4] HistoryThe island was named by Captain William Bligh in 1792 during his second breadfruit voyage to the Pacific, after his distant relative, the Earl of Darnley.[1][2] Christianity was first introduced to Darnley and the Torres Strait region by the London Missionary Society on 1 July 1871. Before this, pearlers and beche-de-mer gatherers visited the island. Over many years, these industries attracted an influx of seamen from the Pacific Islands, the Philippines and Malaya, many of whom married local women and settled on the island. Early in the twentieth century, the Queensland Government started installing various facilities such as a school, medical aid, post office and an Island Industries Board store. Darnley people have been at the forefront of the movement for adequate recognition of Torres Strait Islanders' rights, with George Mye among the most prominent advocates of Islander interests from the 1960s to the 90s and Carlemo Wacando among the first to challenge the legal notion of terra nullius. Pau Enterprises Indigenous Corporation was established in 2015 to manage and maintain the Pau family native title lands and interests on Darnley Island. It also seeks to create social enterprises on Darnley Island and other locations where community members have migrated to, such as Cairns.[5] Flora and faunaThe Kinabalu giant earthworm, Pheretima darnleiensis, is named after Darnley Island, although it is likely not a native but an introduced species there.[6] Heritage listingsDarnley Island has a number of heritage-listed sites, including the All Saints Anglican Church.[7] AmenitiesThe Torres Strait Island Regional Council operate an Indigenous Knowledge Centre at Madige Village on Erub.[8] See also{{stack|{{Portal|Queensland|Islands}}}}
