    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.

  • HYDROGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT Charts, 1769-1824 Reel M406
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT HYDROGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT Charts, 1769-1824 Reel M406 Hydrographic Department Ministry of Defence Taunton, Somerset TA1 2DN National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Copied: 1987 1 HISTORICAL NOTE The Hydrographical Office of the Admiralty was created by an Order-in-Council of 12 August 1795 which stated that it would be responsible for ‘the care of such charts, as are now in the office, or may hereafter be deposited’ and for ‘collecting and compiling all information requisite for improving Navigation, for the guidance of the commanders of His Majesty’s ships’. Alexander Dalrymple, who had been Hydrographer to the East India Company since 1799, was appointed the first Hydrographer. In 1797 the Hydrographer’s staff comprised an assistant, a draughtsman, three engravers and a printer. It remained a small office for much of the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, under Captain Thomas Hurd, who succeeded Dalrymple as Hydrographer in 1808, a regular series of marine charts were produced and in 1814 the first surveying vessels were commissioned. The first Catalogue of Admiralty Charts appeared in 1825. In 1817 the Australian-born navigator Phillip Parker King was supplied with instruments by the Hydrographic Department which he used on his surveying voyages on the Mermaid and the Bathurst. Archives of the Hydrographic Department The Australian Joint Copying Project microfilmed a considerable quantity of the written records of the Hydrographic Department. They include letters, reports, sailing directions, remark books, extracts from logs, minute books and survey data books, mostly dating from 1779 to 1918. They can be found on reels M2318-37 and M2436-67.

    The Ultimate Self-Guided Booklet: Summit/Lighthouse, Secret Garden, Nudey Beach and the Resort Grounds Plus bonus material: Fitzroy Island Tropical Fruits and Fitzroy Island Bad Boys! IF YOU INTEND TO UNDERTAKE THE SELF-GUIDED SECRET GARDEN TRACK, BE AWARE: 1. Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service recommend allowing 45 minutes to complete the return loop 2. Take plenty of water, good walking shoes, a mobile phone and sunscreen 3. Leaf litter debris can hide holes created by submerged granite boulders to the side of the track. To prevent injury never leave the path 4. You are moving through a National Park so be mindful of the flora and fauna and do not throw any rubbish away. If it was not too heavy to carry when full of water and/or food, it is not too heavy to take back empty!!! The information in this booklet is dedicated to all those that have called Fitzroy Island home, from the island’s original inhabitants, the Gunggandji people, to the military and lightkeepers who each played their role in shaping the island’s fate. The Gunggandji were walking these paths before paths existed, living off these trees and surviving in this forest for thousands of years before the first European explorers ever set foot on this land. When war threatened our shores the men of the No. 28 Radar Station stepped up to protect these lands; their influence can still be seen across the island today as can the Lightkeepers that came after them. Each served their country in isolation in lieu of modern comforts.
