Bottom: Flood plume waters at Princess Charlotte Bay, approximately 14km offshore (north) from the Kennedy River mouth (Jeff Shellberg, 29/1/2013). Produced by Christina Howley (Howley Environmental Consulting) for South Cape York Catchments and Cape York NRM. This report was produced under contract to South Cape York Catchments (SCYC) with funding from the Australian Government for the Cape York Water Quality Improvement Plan. The scope of the report, as identified by SCYC and the WQIP Science Advisory Panel, was to synthesize the available water quality data from eastern CYP and to provide a comparison of the data from the northern, central and southern CYP regions and the GBR water quality guidelines.

Howley and South Cape York Catchments. 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Cape York Peninsula (CYP) marine environment (far northern Great Barrier Reef) is considered to be in good condition compared to other parts of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) or global coral reef ecosystems. This is attributed to a combination of factors, including good water quality due to lower levels of development within CYP catchments, as well as less pressure from recreational and commercial fishers, tourism and other boats.

    CSIRO PUBLISHING Historical Records of Australian Science, 2021, 32, 67–82 https://doi.org/10.1071/HR20014 A re-examination of William Hann’s Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland Peter Illingworth TaylorA and Nicole Huxley ACorresponding author. Email: [email protected] William Hann’s Northern Expedition set off on 26 June 1872 from Mount Surprise, a pastoral station west of Townsville, to determine the mineral and agricultural potential of Cape York Peninsula. The expedition was plagued by disharmony and there was later strong criticism of the leadership and its failure to provide any meaningful analysis of the findings. The authors (a descendent of Norman Taylor, expedition geologist, and a descendent of Jerry, Indigenous guide and translator) use documentary sources and traditional knowledge to establish the role of Jerry in the expedition. They argue that while Hann acknowledged Jerry’s assistance to the expedition, his role has been downplayed by later commentators.

FRESHWATER CRAYFISH (FAMILY PARASTACIDAE) OF QUEENSLAND WITH AN ApPENDIX DESORIBING OTHlm AV5'lHALIAN SPEClEf'. By E. F. HIEK. (;ommonwealth Scientific and Industrial l~csearch Organization - Divhdon of Entomology, Canberra, A.C.T. (Figures 1-13.) Freshwater crayfish occur in almost every body of fresh water from artificial damfl and natural billabongs (I>tanding water) to headwater creeks and large rivers (flowing water). Generally the species are of considerable size and therefore easily collected, but even so many of the larger forms are unknown scientifically. This paper deals with all the species that have been collected from Queensland. It also includes a few species from New South Wales and other States. No doubt additional species will be found and some of the mOre variable series, at present included under the one specific namc, will be further subdivided. From Queensland nine species are described as new, making a total of seventeen species (of three genera) recorded from that State. The type localities of all but two of these species are in Queensland but some are not restricted to the State. Clark's 1936 and subsequent papers have been used as the basis for further taxonomic studies of the Australian freshwater crayfish.
