A majestic lighthouse, my first ever sighting of a turtle in its natural environment and a flock of gleaming white birds overhead to welcome me as I stepped off a boat onto a tropical island, known as Low Isles. As the new caretakers of this island, Peter and Jane Nolan have the pleasure of calling this island their home for the next year. They share with us how they intend to help this little piece of paradise stay just that! (See page 34) Since that day at Low Isles I have fallen in love with many of the attributes offered by Port Douglas, the weather, the food, the landscape and, to be honest, the people. The slower pace of life means people do have time to engage; a friendly smile, a beach stroll hello or sharing a conversation over your morning cup of coffee or with the local boutique owner.

  • Water and Waste Committee 21 October 2009
    1 WATER AND WASTE COMMITTEE 1 21 OCTOBER 2009 WATER SUPPLY AND DEMAND, PORT DOUGLAS/MOSSMAN WATER SUPPLY SCHEME Eric Zesers : 24/22/212-03: #2339446 RECOMMENDATION: That Council notes the report. INTRODUCTION: The water supply for Mossman, Port Douglas, Craiglie, Mowbray, Newell Beach, Cooya Beach and Cassowary is sourced directly from Rex Creek which is a tributary of the Mossman River. Due to unprecedented dry conditions, water levels in Rex Creek have fallen to levels that have required the following actions be undertaken: • Implementation of Level 1 Water restrictions for Port Douglas, Mossman, Craiglie, Mowbray, Newell Beach, Cooya Beach and Cassowary, on 2 October 2009. • Progression to Level 2 Water Restrictions on 12 October 2009. • Application to the Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) for a temporary emergency extraction permit for water from the Mossman River. • Application to DERM for an internal review of the original decision relating to the licence limit to extract water from Rex Creek to supply water to Port Douglas and Mossman. • Application to DERM to exceed license limits for water extraction during periods of low flow. This report provides details of the above matters. BACKGROUND: The winter of 2009 has seen the lowest winter rainfall on record at the Low Isles Light House – 25.7 mm (average is 136.4 mm) and at the Cairns Airport – 17.2 mm (average is 102mm). As a result of the unprecedented dry conditions, run of river water supplies such as Rex Creek can also be expected to reach record lows or potentially could dry up completely.

  • Conserving the Sugar Legacy of Far North Queensland
    Wilis - Remembering the cane Remembering the cane: conserving the sugar legacy of far north Queensland Joanna Wills Far north Queensland's post-contact history and identity are entrenched in the story of sugar. The industry's influence remains evident in the milling towns and in the cane fields along the tropical coastal plains. Although it has developed and changed over time, the sugar industry is still central to the region's economy, an anchor that provides communities with livelihoods and continuity. From downtime to harvest, and crushing to transport, the sugar season guides the region's rhythms of life and still shapes local identity. Cultural traditions of the sugar migrants permeate the region and breathe life into the distrfct. Weatherboard farmhouses and outbuildings stand like sentinels in the cane fields around Tully, Innisfail, Babinda and Mossman. Old canecutters barracks are still visible in the landscape, rough resting places that were once home to a transient, seasonal workforce. Tram tracks still crisscross fields and townships despite the development of road transport and bulk sugar refineries. And sugar mills, almost Dickensian in their appearance, punctuate the landscape with chimney stacks belching smoke plumes of cloying, syrupy aroma. This visible link between the past and the present is a veritable feast for cultural heritage workers, and provides an opportunity to document, manage, conserve and interpret the sugar legacy of far north Queensland before it is lost. Understanding how the heritage industry chooses to do this, how it currently conserves, promotes and interprets this sugar history, and how it could conserve, promote and interpret it, is critical for remembering and recognising how sugar has shaped the region's development.
