The Gayundah had a long service history, even being used to patrol Moreton Bay during the First World War. In 1921, she was sold to a civilian company and used to haul sand and gravel along the Brisbane River. The Gayundah remained in service into the 1950s, when she was eventually scrapped. Her hull was beached in 1958 to serve as a breakwater off the Woody Point cliffs near Redcliffe.
