The solar panels, wind turbines and rainwater tanks that power and quench this island are hidden from view. And the beach shacks are illusory, for though Pumpkin Island has been used by families and fishermen since 1964, it has been recently reimagined by managers Wayne and Laureth Rumble as a stylish, eco- conscious island escape. The couple has incorporated all the elements of a casual beach holiday – troughs in which to rinse your sandy feet, barbecues on which to grill freshly caught fish and shucking knives for easy dislodgement of oysters from the nearby rocks – without sacrificing any modern comforts. Pumpkin Island’s seven self-catering cottages and bungalows (accommodating up to six people) are distinguished from one another by unique decorative touches: candy-striped deckchairs slung from hooks on a distressed weatherboard wall; linen bedclothes in this cottage, waffle-weave in that; mint-green accents here, blue over there.

  • Chapter 1: General Introduction and Aims
    Margaret L. Stimpson Banksia spinulosa complex Chapter 1: General introduction and aims “The history of science, like the history of all human ideas, is a history of irresponsible dreams, of obstinacy, and of error. But science is one of the very few human activities perhaps the only one in which errors are systematically criticized and fairly often, in time, corrected. This is why we can say that, in science, we often learn from our mistakes, and why we can speak clearly and sensibly about making progress there.” (Popper 1963 p. 216) Proteaceae and Banksia The flowering plant family Proteaceae is predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere and represents a classic Gondwanan clade, with fossils dating to c. 94 Mya, i.e., shortly after the separation of Africa from the rest of Gondwana (Guerin and Hill 2006). The family comprises about 80 genera with c. 1700 species, c.1450 of which are distributed in Australia and South Africa, which have the greatest concentrations of diversity (APG III 2009). There are also about 83 species in 8 genera in South and Central America (Prance and Plana 1998). Well known genera in the Proteaceae clade include Telopea, Protea, Banksia, Grevillea, Hakea, and Macadamia. The New South Wales floral emblem is the Waratah (Telopea speciosissima); Banksia, Grevillea, and Leucadendron are popular cut flowers, while the nuts of Macadamia integrifolia are widely grown commercially. The genus Banksia L.f. (Proteaceae subfam. Grevilleoideae) was first described on the basis of four species collected by Banks and Solander during the Cook voyage in 1770 (Thiele and Ladiges 1996; Collins et al.
