    Supplement to the Interim Report: 2016 Coral Bleaching Event on the Great Barrier Reef

    Supplement to the Interim report: 2016 coral bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef November 2016 This supplement by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) to the interim report1 provides an update on current Reef-wide surveys being conducted by GBRMPA and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. This second round of in-water reef health and impact surveys commenced in October, and is due to be completed by the end of November 2016. The surveys will provide an updated assessment of bleaching-related mortality and reef health and resilience following the 2016 mass coral bleaching event in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The structured survey plan covers the same 63 reefs across seven transects examined earlier this year, as detailed in the interim report, to allow for comparisons and representation of Reef-wide patterns. The transects (reef groupings) are located at latitudes centred on Cape Grenville, Princess Charlotte Bay, Lizard Island, Cairns–Port Douglas, Townsville, Whitsunday Islands and Rockhampton. Some additional reefs were also surveyed where possible, giving further information on bleaching-related mortality over time. It will take several months to complete analyses and reporting, however preliminary findings provided here confirm general spatial patterns of bleaching impacts as described in the interim report. These findings do not yet include information for the Townsville transect. Impacts remain highly variable within and among reefs and regions. From the Cairns–Port Douglas transect north, coral mortality is greater now than in June 2016, as expected, and more reefs now have greater than 50 per cent bleaching-related mortality.
  • The Bathurst Bay Hurricane: Media, Memory and Disaster

    The Bathurst Bay Hurricane: Media, Memory and Disaster

    The Bathurst Bay Hurricane: Media, Memory and Disaster Ian Bruce Townsend Bachelor of Arts (Communications) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2019 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract In 1899, one of the most powerful cyclones recorded struck the eastern coast of Cape York, Queensland, resulting in 298 known deaths, most of whom were foreign workers of the Thursday Island pearling fleets. Today, Australia’s deadliest cyclone is barely remembered nationally, although there is increasing interest internationally in the cyclone’s world record storm surge by scientists studying past cyclones to assess the risks of future disasters, particularly from a changing climate. The 1899 pearling fleet disaster, attributed by Queensland Government meteorologist Clement Wragge to a cyclone he named Mahina, has not until now been the subject of scholarly historical inquiry. This thesis examines the evidence, as well as the factors that influenced how the cyclone and its disaster have been remembered, reported, and studied. Personal and public archives were searched for references to, and evidence for, the event. A methodology was developed to test the credibility of documents and the evidence they contained, including the data of interest to science. Theories of narrative and memory were applied to those documents to show how and why evidence changed over time. Finally, the best evidence was used to reconstruct aspects of the event, including the fate of several communities, the cyclone’s track, and the elements that contributed to the internationally significant storm tide. The thesis concludes that powerful cultural narratives were responsible for the nation forgetting a disaster in which 96 percent of the victims were considered not to be citizens of the anticipated White Australia.

  • Guided by Her: Aboriginal Women's Participation in Australian Expeditions

    Guided by Her: Aboriginal Women's Participation in Australian Expeditions

    5 Guided by her: Aboriginal women’s participation in Australian expeditions Allison Cadzow I was compelled in a great measure to be guided by her. She was acquainted with all their haunts and was a native of Port Davey, belonging to this tribe and having a brother and other relatives living among them, [Low. Ger Nown] was her native place. Though I knew she intended sojourning with them, yet there was no alternative but to follow her suggestions … George Augustus Robinson discussing Dray’s guiding in Tasmania (6 April 1830) Our female guide, who had scarcely before ventured to look up, stood now boldly forward, and addressed the strange tribe in a very animated and apparently eloquent manner; and when her countenance was thus lighted up, displaying fine teeth, and great earnestness of manner, I was delighted to perceive what soul the woman possessed, and could not but consider our party fortunate in having met with such an interpreter. Thomas Mitchell discussing Turandurey’s guiding in New South Wales (12 May 1836) The Aboriginal women mentioned above are clearly represented as guides and appear in plain view; they are not in hiding. While women did hide from white expedition members – for good reason considering 85 BRoKERS AND BouNDARIES the frequent violence of white people towards them – this was not the only reaction they had. Historians have largely ignored Aboriginal women’s involvement in exploration expeditions, though there are some notable exceptions in the work of Henry Reynolds, Lyndall Ryan and Donald Baker. Some other authors who have attended to them, such as Philip Clarke, imply that women were invariably hidden away during encounters, suggesting they were not actively involved in expeditions.1 Even when women did hide, this was not necessarily the end of the story, as they sometimes re-emerged after assessing the situation.
