  • The History of Green Island
    91 THE HISTORY OF GREEN ISLAND By DOROTHY JONES Read at a Meeting of the Society on 24 June 1976 Introduction — I have chosen to present this paper, on the occasion of the centenary year of Cairns, on the history of probably its most familiar area, Green Island. 1 do this because the broad history of Cairns itself is already well known in the Society's papers through the researches of the late Mr. J. W. Collinson. Green Island, about 34 acres in extent, lies some 16 miles due east of Cairns. Low and sandy, it is virtually a wooded sand cay surrounded by coral reefs. On Trinity Sunday, 1770, Captain Cook anchored the Endeavour in Mission Bay to look for water, the third landing he had made in what was to be the Colony of Queensland. From this anchorage a "low green woody island" bore 35 deg. E, which he named Green Island. Generally accepted that the naming was to honour the 'Endeavour's'' astronomer, 1 have found only the patently descriptive reference given. Green Island with its dangers of reef and shoal, flat profUe and obvious sand cay characteristics deserved and received no attention from mariners in transit, official or otherwise, who confined their activities to nearby Fitzroy Island with its mainland characteristics and, more importantly, easily accessible fresh water. After settlement began in the far north Green Island was well known to the captains of the small ships of the sixties sailing a hazardous course out of Bowen through Cleveland Bay, Cardwell and Somerset to Gulf ports, or on a commercial venture in search of sandalwood, pearling or beche de mer grounds.

  • Sedimentary Framework of Mainland Fringing Reef Development, Cape Tribulation Area
    Sedimentary Framework of Mainland Fringing Reef Development, Cape Tribulation Area D.P. Johnson and R.M. Carter Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority 551.424 Technical Memorandum 099436 JOH GBRMPA-TM-14 copy 1 GREAT BARRIER REEF MARINE PARK AUTHORITY TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM GBRMPA-TM-14 SEDIMENTARY FRAMEWORK OF MAINLAND FRINGING REEF DEVELOPMENT, CAPE TRIBULATION AREA D.P. JOHNSON and R.M.CARTER Department of Geology James Cook University of North Queensland Townsville, Q 4811, Australia DATE November, 1987 SUMMARY Mainland fringing reefs with a diverse coral fauna have developed in the Cape Tribulation area primarily upon coastal sedi- ment bodies such as beach shoals and creek mouth bars. Growth on steep rocky headlands is minor. The reefs have exten- sive sandy beaches to landward, and an irregular outer margin. Typically there is a raised platform of dead reef along the outer edge of the reef, and dead coral columns lie buried under the reef flat. Live coral growth is restricted to the outer reef slope. Seaward of the reefs is a narrow wedge of muddy, terrigenous sediment, which thins offshore. Beach, reef and inner shelf sediments all contain 50% terrigenous material, indicating the reefs have always grown under conditions of heavy terrigenous influx. The relatively shallow lower limit of coral growth (ca 6m below AHD) is typical of reef growth in turbid waters, where decreased light levels inhibit coral growth. Radiocarbon dating of material from surveyed sites confirms the age of the fossil coral columns as 5680-6110 ybp, indicating that they grew during the late post-glacial sea-level high (ca 5500-6500 ybp).

Contact the Department of Environment and Resource Management on (07) 3404 3070 or email <[email protected]>. Published May 2009 ISBN 9 311662 182357 #28813 1 Archer Basin Wild River Declaration Consultation Report 2009 Foreword This report has been prepared to summarise the issues raised during the community consultation process, which includes the formal submission process, which supported development of the wild rivers declaration for Archer Basin Wild River Declaration 2009 and the government’s response to these issues. While the involvement of representative stakeholders provided essential checks and balances throughout the process, the public consultation process on the declaration proposal allowed for scrutiny of the provisions at the broadest level. Declaring the Archer Basin as a wild river area is an important step in preserving the natural values of the State’s unique wild rivers, which have largely been untouched by development, and are a vital part of our natural heritage. The declaration provides a framework for preserving these natural values in a way that balances the needs of a wide range of stakeholders. Although the intent of the declaration is to preserve the natural values of a wild river area, economic development can still occur in a wild river area.

  • [Mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 October 2002 3:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Review of GBR Water Quality
    From: Bob Carter laptop [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 October 2002 3:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Review of GBR water quality Mr Greg Murtough Productivity Commission October 27, 2002 Dear Mr Murtough, Measures to Address "Declining" GBR Water Quality With reference to our previous correspondence: I attach to this email an electronic copy of the Report and Chapter summaries from a recent comprehensive environmental envestigation into the water motions and sediment distribution in Trinity Bay, Cairns region. I wish this material to be included in the Submissions to your review, and posted on the web. Our research investigations have showed an absence of major environmental problems to do with suspended or deposited sediment in the Cairns area. Particularly relevant to the Terms of Reference of your review is that this thorough investigation has provided no evidence which suggests any widespread decline in water quality in the Cairns region, and particularly so so far as the Great Barrier Reef is concerned. I draw the attention of your Review to the well documented fact that all coastal waters in North Queensland are naturally muddy, and that no scientific basis exists for the widespread public alarm which has been generated by mischievous claims that muddy water poses a threat to the Great Barrier Reef. The body and figures of the Report contain material which is scientifically privileged until it has been published. For that reason, I am not providing you with an electronic copy of that detailed material for web posting. Please note, however, that you have been provided with a printed copy of the full Report, and that members of the Commission are welcome to access and use the detailed information within it for the purposes of your Commission's review.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction. ...................................... 5 List of birds. ...................................... 7 Gazetteer ....................................... .. 179 3 INTRODUCTION In 1967 I began to search the literature for information on Queensland birds ­ their distribution, ecological status, relative abundance, habitat preferences, breeding season, movements and taxonomy. In addition much unpublished information was received from Mrs H.B. Gill, Messrs J.R. Ford, S.A. Parker, R.L. Pink, R.K. Carruthers, L. Neilsen, D. Howe, C.A.C. Cameron, Bro. Matthew Heron, Dr D.L. Serventy and the late W.E. Alexander. These data formed the basis of the List of Queensland birds (Stort 1973, Spec. Pubis West. Aust. Mus. No. 5). During the last decade the increase in our knowledge of Queensland birds has been such as to warrant a re-writing of the List. Much of this progress has been due to three things: (1) survey work by J.R. Ford, A. Gieensmith and N.C.H. Reid in central Queensland and southern Cape York Peninsula (Ford et al. 1981, Sunbird 11: 58-70), (2) research into the higher categories ofclassification, especially C.G.
