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.

Indigenous Coastal.Ai
Cooperative Research Centre for Coastal Zone, Estuary & Waterway Management Technical Report 24 Indigenous coastal and waterways resource management Current reflections and future directions Stewart Lockie Susan Rockloff Bob Muir December 2003 Indigenous Coastal and Waterways Resource Management: Current Reflections and Future Directions Non-Technical Summary Consultation with Traditional Owners and people from Aboriginal organisations was conducted in the Fitzroy and Port Curtis Catchments of Central Queensland during August 2002. The purpose of the study was to assist in the integration of Indigenous knowledge into all future projects in the CRC. Discussions were focused around: Indigenous coastal resource issues; current Indigenous resource management initiatives; future research projects and questions; Indigenous capacity building needs and training; and processes/protocols to advance collaboration between Indigenous communities and researchers. This report attempts, as far as possible, to accurately reflect the views and concerns of those consulted. Study of the stakeholder decision-making environment undertaken prior to this consultation process highlighted several key issues limiting the contribution of Indigenous people to existing projects and initiatives, and future efforts for managing and caring for Country. The issues were: excessive overload and demand on Indigenous representatives’ time and resources by Government and other organisations; limited expertise in some areas and unrecognised expertise and knowledge in others; lack of recognition and understanding of Indigenous people’s culture, country and knowledge; insufficient institutional and legal recognition of Native Title rights and rights to access Country; and an inability or unwillingness of existing natural resource management and planning institutions to adapt structures and processes to suit the specific needs of Indigenous communities. -
Floristic Patterns in Coastal Rainforest of Shoalwater Bay, Central Queensland

Abstract: A study was undertaken of the floristic patterns in coastal rainforest (low closed forest) of Shoalwater Bay, central Queensland. The site encompasses 60 km of coastline, extending from latitude 22° 08’ 30’’ to 22° 30’ 0” and longitude 150° 02’ 00” to 150° 24’ 30”. The rainforest grows on coastal Holocene sand dunes, swales and sand flats, distributed as a series of 27 discrete patches greater than one hectare along 60 kilometres of coastline. Mean patch size was 10.7 hectares (maximum 150 hectares). The flora was predominantly woody, and lacked the complex growth forms of Webb (1968). Floristic links with central and north Queensland were strong, with some species distributions extending into Malesia and the Pacific. Three physical strata, emergent (composed of trees), canopy (composed of trees, vines and epiphytes) and sub-canopy (trees, vines and herbs) were recognised. The herb layer was very poorly developed. Eighty-one species were recorded, representing 42 families and 72 genera. Sixty three quadrats were sampled across the rainforest patches to measure abundance of all vascular taxa using frequency score. Five floristic groups were defined from agglomerative classification analysis, one representing mixed forest, two representing low microphyll vine forest (LMVF) and two representing microphyll vine thicket (MVT). -
