Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: coastal sites in southern New South Wales. R.J.

    Australian Archaeology Archived at Flinders University: dspace.flinders.edu.au Full Citation Details: Cambell, J.B. 1979. Settlement patterns on offshore islands in Northeastern Queensland. 'Australian Archaeology', no.9, 18-32. SETTLEMENT PATTERNS ON OFFSHORE ISLANDS IN NORTHEASTERN QUEENSLAND John B. CqbeZZ Study area For the purposes of this study the offshore islands in northeastern Queensland are taken as those lying between Bowen and Cairns. As a matter of convenience these islands are divided into 'major' and 'minor' islands, the major ones being at least lOkm or more in their greatest dimension and the minor ones less than that. This classification allows for an apparent bimodal dispersion in the relative size of the islands. The major islands include the following: Whitsunday and Hook (south- east of Bowen), Gloucester (east of Bowen), Magnetic (north of Townsville), Great Palm (east of Ingham) and Hinchinbrook (south- east of Tully). Some archaeological finds are known from all of the major islands, and at least a few are known from many of the minor islands. However, none of the offshore islands in the study area, or for that matter anywhere in north Queensland, have had any really thorough archaeological surveys carried out. In addition to my fieldwork on the mainland in northeastern Queensland (see Campbell 1978 and 1979), I have concentrated thus far principally on Hinchinbrook and Goold islands, and the results of this island research to date are shown on the map in Figure 1. Both are high, mountainous islands, and both are now National Parks. This research is discussed further below. The relationship between island size, latitude and traditional Aboriginal settlement patterns in Australia in general is still not completely clear, but unlike Kangaroo Island (South Australia) and most of the islands of Bass Strait, none of the major and few of the minor islands in the study area were completely unoccupied at the time of Aboriginal/~uropeancontact (cf.

  • 46 2.2 Characteristics of the Region's Rainforests 2.2.1 Present Day Flora
    46 2.2 Characteristics of the regions rainforests 2.2.1 Present day flora The first extensive collections of the rainforest flora of north-east Australia were those of Sir Joseph Banks and Dr Daniel Solander during an enforced stay near what is now Cooktown, to repair their ship the "Endeavour". While on this epic voyage of discovery along the east coast of Australia, this ship, commanded by Captain James Cook, had called briefly at several other localities. However, after 6 weeks this was by far the best collected area and Banks was able to report on the 28th of August 1770 that :- "Botanizing with no kind of success. The Plants were now intirely compleated and nothing new to be found, so that sailing is all we wish for if the wind would but allow us." (Banks in Beaglehole 1962). Other botanists associated with the early exploration of the coast included Robert Brown during 1802 and Allan Cunningham from 1819 to 1821 (Brass 1953). The first expedition to proceed far inland was that commenced in 1848 by Edmund Kennedy. Although the botanist William Carron was one of the survivors of this ill fated journey, all botanical material, except for a few seeds, was lost. European settlement began in earnest in the region during the 1860s. The following notes on later 19th century collections have been extracted from Roberts and Whitten (undated). One of the first and perhaps the most systematic of the early collectors in the region was John Dallachy. He lived in Cardwell from about 1863 to 1871 and made many important collections which were initially sent to F.

Signature Date iii ABSTRACT Tangled Visions: Changing Scientific Understandings of the North Queensland Rainforests, 1770 – 1990 Science and scientists have played key roles in shaping popular perceptions of the rainforest environment, and their work has directed both the development and preservation of rainforest areas in North Queensland. This thesis examines the broad development of scientific understandings of, and interactions with, the rainforests of North Queensland from the period of early European exploration to the emergence of powerful scientific support for rainforest conservation in the 1980s.
