  • Hinchinbrook Island Group Itin
    SOUTHERN SEA VENTURES AUSTRALIA Hinchinbrook Island Group North Queensland Paddling Adventure Seven day trip SOUTHERN SEA VENTURES Australia: Hinchinbrook Island Group Seven day sea kayak trip Hinchinbrook Island, Goold Island and the Family Islands are located along the tropical coast between Ingham and Tully in North Queensland. Hinchinbrook's 39,000 hectares makes it Australia's largest island national park and part of the Great Barrier Reef UNESCO World Heritage listing, due to its unique fora and fauna. With granite peaks rising 1142 metres directly out of the sea, Hinchinbrook Island is a magnifcent backdrop for sea kayaking. Waterfalls, tropical rainforests, precipitous headlands, coral reefs and secluded beaches are among the island’s treasures. The island is perhaps the last remnant of the eastern coastline that remains exactly as it was before white settlement of Australia. After four to fve days exploring Hinchinbrook Island, our paddles continue north to Goold Island. We camp with beautiful views of the Family Islands to the north and the towering peaks of Hinchinbrook to the south. From Goold we continue north to picturesque Wheeler Island, one of the Family Island group. We spend our last night here before paddling to Dunk Island for our fnal lunch. From there it is a short paddle back to mainland Australia where we make landfall at South Mission Beach and end our trip. Using our specially designed sea kayaks, we paddle approximately 90 kilometres over seven days. Most days allow for some island time in the afternoon to walk, snorkel or just relax in a hammock. Each evening ends with a gourmet meal cooked by our skilled guides who are just as handy with a chef’s knife as they are with a paddle.

  • Boigu Island (Wilson 2005; Schaffer 2010)
    PROFILE FOR MANAGEMENT OF THE HABITATS AND RELATED ECOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCE VALUES OF MER ISLAND January 2013 Prepared by 3D Environmental for Torres Strait Regional Authority Land & Sea Management Unit Cover image: 3D Environmental (2013) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mer (Murray) Island is located in the eastern Torres Strait. It occupies a total area of 406 ha, and is formed on a volcanic vent which rises to height of 210m. The stark vent which dominates the island landscape is known as ‘Gelam’, the creator of the dugong in Torres Strait Island mythology. The volcanic vent of Mer is unique in an Australian context, being the only known example of a volcanic vent forming a discrete island within Australian territory. The vegetation on Mer is controlled largely by variations in soil structure and fertility. The western side of the island, which is formed on extremely porous volcanic scoria or ash, is covered in grassland due to extreme soil drainage on the volcano rim. The eastern side, which supports more luxuriant rainforest vegetation and garden areas, occupies much more fertile and favourably drained basaltic soil. A total of six natural vegetation communities, within five broad vegetation groups and two regional ecosystems are recognised on the island, representing approximately 2% of regional ecosystems recorded across the broader Torres Strait Island landscape. The ecosystems recorded are however unique to the Eastern Island Group, in particular Mer and Erub, and have no representation elsewhere in Queensland. There are also a number of highly significant culturally influenced forest types on the island which provide a window into the islands past traditional agricultural practices.

Hinchinbrook Area Boater’s Opinions Of and Compliance With Dugong Conservation Initiatives Image by GBRMPA Matilda Andersson World Learning, SIT Study Abroad, Cairns December 2008 Advisor: Russell Butler, Girringun Aboriginal Corporation Abstract Taking into consideration past history of the area this report aims to examine the views of Hinchinbrook Area boaters and fishermen regarding conservation initiatives and indigenous hunting. A combination of surveying local boaters using a questionnaire and interviews conducted with local experts and people involved in dugong conservation resulted in both numeric results and many personal opinions. Conservation initiatives include voluntary speed guidelines, voluntary transit lanes, and a Traditional Use of Marine Resource Agreement. Boaters’ opinions and compliance with all the initiatives was examined using a questionnaire which included a True or False section, personal opinions, compliance, and sighting information.

  • Australian Archaeology
    Australian Archaeology Archived at Flinders University: dspace.flinders.edu.au Full Citation Details: Cambell, J.B. 1979. Settlement patterns on offshore islands in Northeastern Queensland. 'Australian Archaeology', no.9, 18-32. SETTLEMENT PATTERNS ON OFFSHORE ISLANDS IN NORTHEASTERN QUEENSLAND John B. CqbeZZ Study area For the purposes of this study the offshore islands in northeastern Queensland are taken as those lying between Bowen and Cairns. As a matter of convenience these islands are divided into 'major' and 'minor' islands, the major ones being at least lOkm or more in their greatest dimension and the minor ones less than that. This classification allows for an apparent bimodal dispersion in the relative size of the islands. The major islands include the following: Whitsunday and Hook (south- east of Bowen), Gloucester (east of Bowen), Magnetic (north of Townsville), Great Palm (east of Ingham) and Hinchinbrook (south- east of Tully). Some archaeological finds are known from all of the major islands, and at least a few are known from many of the minor islands. However, none of the offshore islands in the study area, or for that matter anywhere in north Queensland, have had any really thorough archaeological surveys carried out. In addition to my fieldwork on the mainland in northeastern Queensland (see Campbell 1978 and 1979), I have concentrated thus far principally on Hinchinbrook and Goold islands, and the results of this island research to date are shown on the map in Figure 1. Both are high, mountainous islands, and both are now National Parks. This research is discussed further below. The relationship between island size, latitude and traditional Aboriginal settlement patterns in Australia in general is still not completely clear, but unlike Kangaroo Island (South Australia) and most of the islands of Bass Strait, none of the major and few of the minor islands in the study area were completely unoccupied at the time of Aboriginal/~uropeancontact (cf.
