Journals from James Cook University 2009-12-13 Walkabout Activities Croc Feeding I have been staying very busy these last couple weeks with school and weekend (and sometimes weekday) excursions. As an international student, I am automatically enrolled in a club on campus called The Walkabout Club which organizes fieldtrips to different areas around Cairns. This past weekend, 8 other students and I went on a day trip to Millaa Millaa Waterfalls, Lake Eachem, Lake Barrine, Johnstone Crocodile Farm, and the famous Curtain Fig Tree. It was such a wonderfully busy day. Although the weather was not ideal, it was still a lot of fun. First, we went to the two lakes, which were actually formed from volcanic craters. The tour guide bought us scones and locally grown coffee and tea from the tea house that overlooks Lake Barrine.

  • 3.14 Gordonvale – Goldsborough District 3.14.1 Description and Intent
    CairnsPlan – March 2009 3.14 Gordonvale – Goldsborough District 3.14.1 Description and Intent The Gordonvale – Goldsborough District is characterised by the natural features of the Mulgrave River, the Pyramid and the adjacent ranges, as well as by cane fields, the sugar mill and the commercial centre surrounding Norman Park in the centre of Gordonvale. Gordonvale be retained as a distinct community and the recognisable character and local heritage is maintained and enhanced. It is intended that the rural areas within the District should remain and that there should be a range of opportunities for residential living in the areas identified for urban development. There are opportunities for rural residential living in the Goldsborough Valley and in the area on the western side of the Gillies Highway closer to Gordonvale. A Local Store to service the residential population is appropriate for Goldsborough. Such a store should be located on Goldsborough Road, away from the recreational area along the river. This is consistent with the established planning intent. It is not intended that there should be any expansion of the areas identified for this purpose. It is intended that the areas identified for conventional residential living in the northern part of the District should be developed and consolidated. There are opportunities for medium density residential living in areas adjacent to the commercial centre, consistent with the established planning intent. Medium density residential development should complement the character of this part of Gordonvale. There is the opportunity for development of tourist accommodation, such as a caravan park, in an area adjacent to the intersection of the Bruce Highway and the Gillies Highway.

  • Royal Historical Society of Queensland Journal The
    ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND JOURNAL Volume XV, No.l February 1993 THE WORLD OF THE BAMA Aboriginal-European Relations in the Cairns Rainforest Region to 1876 by Timothy Bottoms (All Rights Reserved) Presented to the Society as an Audio-Visual Program 10th August 1991 The world of the Djabugay-Yidiny [Jabuguy-Yidin] speaking people occupied what is now called the Cairns rainforest region. Their term for themselves is BAMA [Bum-ah] — meaning 'people'. To the south are Dyirbal [Jirrbal] speaking tribes who are linguistically different from their northern Yidiny-speakers, as German is to French. There appears to have been quite a deal of animosity' between these linguistically different neighbours. To the north are the Kuku-Yalanji [Kookoo Ya-lan-ji] who seem to have a great deal more in common with their southern Djabugay- speaking neighbours. In the northern half of the Cairns rainforest region are the Djabugay-speaking tribal groupings; the Djabuganydji [Jabu-ganji], the Nyagali [Na-kali], the Guluy [Koo-lie], the Buluwanydji [Bull-a- wan-ji], and on the coastal strip, the Yirrganydji [Yirr-gan-ji].^ The clans within each tribal grouping spoke dialects of Djabugay — so that, although there were differences, they were mutually understandable.^ The southern half of the Cairns rainforest region is home to the linguistically related Yidiny-speaking people. Fifty- three percent of the Yidiny lexicon is derived from Djabugay." However in the same fashion as the Djabugay-speakers — each clan, and there are many in each tribe,^ considered itself an entity in its own right, despite the linguistic affinities. The tribes who spoke Yidiny-related dialects were the Gungganydji [Kung-gan-ji], the Yidinydji [Yidin-ji], the Madjanydji [Mad-jan-ji], and Wanjuru.

  • Holocene Geomagnetic Secular Variation Records from North-Eastern Australian Lake Sediments
    Geophys. J. R. astr. Soc. (1985) 81, 103-120 Holocene geomagnetic secular variation records from north-eastern Australian lake sediments c.G. Constable*and M. w. McElhinny?Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia Accepted 1984 September 21. Received 1984 April 25 Summary. Secular variation records have been obtained from cores from Lakes Barrine and Eacham, two north-eastern Australian volcanic crater lakes. The results from several cores have been stratigraphically correlated and then stacked and smoothed. The chronology provided by radiocarbon dating indicates that the Lake Eacham sequence spans the last 5700 calendar years. The time-scale for the Lake Barrine record is less weil constrained but it appears to cover about 1600 to 16 200yr BP. VGP paths for the sites show two periods of anticlockwise motion between about 5710 and 3980 BP and 10500 and 8800 BP. These times correspond to periods of anticlockwise motion in south-eastern Australian records (Barton & McElhinny) and Argentine records (Creer et al.), to within the uncertainties of the assigned time-scales. Introduction Under suitable circumstances fine grained material deposited in lake sediments can provide a record of the ambient geomagnetic field in its depositional or post-depositional remanent magnetization (DRM or PDRM). This record serves to extend knowledge about the geomagnetic field back beyond the age of the earliest historical records, which only span a few centuries in most parts of the world. The sedimentary record is continuous (unlike archaeomagnetic records), but much poorer in quality than that obtained from observatory instruments because of the smoothing inherent in the signal recording process.
