  • Myna Control Underway in Far North Queensland
    Myna Control Underway in Far North Queensland By Ron Moon, Cairns Men’s Shed Indian Myna control across Far North Queensland has gone through a number of iterations to be now firmly established under the umbrella of the Men’s Sheds across the region. The current program was borne out of a confluence of serendipitous events involving the Cairns Men’s Shed, the Cairns Rotary Club, Warren Entsch the federal Member for Leichhardt, and the Canberra Indian Myna Action Group (CIMAG). Research by Chris Tidemann on myna trapping in tropical Cairns had earlier concluded that trapping was ineffective: while Cairns had an extremely high density of mynas – up to 750 per sq km – the tropics have lots of insects to feed on and mynas appeared to avoid the traps. Separate to that, Warren Entsch had noticed, each time he came to Parliament in Canberra, the progressive drop in myna numbers as a consequence of the trapping program by Canberra Indian Myna Action Group members. When Mr Entsch visited the Cairns Men’s Club in May 2011, he suggested they build a few myna traps for a bit of additional income. Within a few weeks Ron Moon of the Men’s Shed had come up with a trap design. As it so happened a month or so later, Bill Handke from CIMAG was holidaying in Cairns and was invited to speak about the Canberra community myna trapping program to the Cairns Rotary Club – attended by Mr Entsch. As a result of that presentation, the Cairns Rotary Club promptly established a myna control group, and arranged for the Men’s Shed to provide traps.

  • The Evacuation of Aboriginal People from Cape Bedford Mission, 19421
    ‘What a howl there would be if some of our folk were so treated by an enemy’: The evacuation of Aboriginal people from Cape Bedford Mission, 19421 Jonathan Richards One fine and warm winter morning in May 1942, the Poonbar, a medium-sized coastal vessel, steamed into the Endeavour River at Cooktown, North Queensland, and berthed at the town’s wharf. After she tied up, over 200 Aboriginal people carrying a small amount of personal possessions emerged from a cargo shed on the wharf. The people were herded by about a dozen uniformed Queensland police as they boarded the boat. The loading, completed in just over an hour, was supervised by three military officers, two senior police and a civilian public servant. As the ship cast off, the public servant, who boarded the boat with the Aboriginal people, threw a coin to a constable on the wharf and shouted ‘Wire Cairns for a meal!’ Unfortunately, the wire did not arrive at Cairns in time, and as a result the party of Aboriginal people was given little food until they reached their destination, 1200 kilometres and two day’s travel away. The war between Japan and the Allies was nearing Australia, and this forced evacuation of Aboriginal people was deemed necessary for ‘national security’ reasons. Although the evacuation has been written about by a number of scholars and Indigenous writers, the reasons for the order have not, I believe, been clearly established. Similarly, the identity of the forces – military or otherwise – that carried out the evacuation have never been conclusively determined.
