  • Conservation Advice and Transferred This Species from the Endangered to Vulnerable Category, Effective from 04/07/2019
    THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister approved this conservation advice and transferred this species from the Endangered to Vulnerable category, effective from 04/07/2019 Conservation Advice Litoria dayi (Lace-eyed Tree Frog) Taxonomy Conventionally accepted as Litoria dayi (Gunther 1897). Litoria dayi (Lace-eyed Tree Frog) was recently transferred to the genus Litoria from the genus Nyctimystes after Kraus (2013) showed that it did not meet the morphological characteristics for assignment to that genus (Cogger 2014). Summary of assessment Conservation status Vulnerable: Criterion 2 B1 and B2 (a),(b)(i,ii) The highest category for which Litoria dayi is eligible to be listed is Vulnerable. Litoria dayi has been found to be eligible for listing under the following categories: Criterion 2: B1 and B2 (a),(b)(i,ii): Vulnerable Litoria dayi has been found to be eligible for listing under the Vulnerable category. The species was eligible for listing under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999) (EPBC Act) as on 16 July 2000 it was listed as Endangered under Schedule 1 of the preceding Act, the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). Following a formal review of the listing status of the Lace-eyed Tree Frog, the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) has determined that there is evidence that the species has stabilised but has not undergone any demonstrable recovery since being listed; and that there is sufficient evidence to support a change of status of the species to Vulnerable under the EPBC Act but not to delist the species.

  • Cooktown 1873-1999. Phd Thesis, James Cook University
    This file is part of the following reference: Ryle, Peter Albert (2000) Decline and recovery of a rural coastal town: Cooktown 1873-1999. PhD thesis, James Cook University. Access to this file is available from: http://eprints.jcu.edu.au/19585 156 Chapter 5 The Town Economy: Construction Activity. The construction industry in Cooktown reflects the district's fortunes, and at times provided an economic stimulus in its own right. For instance, the provision of bridges over the Annan and Endeavour rivers stimulated the local economy during construction, and also allowed greater exploitation of the tin, timber and agriculture industries. Despite the perception that the "boom" years were over for Cooktown by 1885, most of the construction work, both Government and commercial, occurred after that time. Many major new projects were undertaken by both tha private and pUblic sectors after the gold reserves of the Palmer started to decline, and in general, the buildings constructed after 1885 were of a higher standard than those built in the earlier period. Some of them survived to become assets to the tourist industry. The local authorities in the area continued to finance the bUilding and maintenance of roads, and the construction of the stone gutters which are a feature of the town, but a shortage of funds prevented them from providing further infrastructure until recent times. Government infrastructure. Any discussion involving these events must take into account the extended planning phase before the actual implementation of a project. This applies especially to Government infrastructure. Many Government construction projects in the Cooktown district after 1885 were planned before that date.

  • 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.

  • Navigating Boundaries: the Asian Diaspora in Torres Strait
    CHAPTER TWO Tidal Flows An overview of Torres Strait Islander-Asian contact Anna Shnukal and Guy Ramsay Torres Strait Islanders The Torres Strait Islanders, Australia’s second Indigenous minority, come from the islands of the sea passage between Queensland and New Guinea. Estimated to number at most 4,000 people before contact, but reduced by half by disease and depredation by the late-1870s, they now number more than 40,000. Traditional stories recount their arrival in waves of chain migration from various islands and coastal villages of southern New Guinea, possibly as a consequence of environmental change.1 The Islanders were not traditionally unified, but recognised five major ethno-linguistic groups or ‘nations’, each specialising in the activities best suited to its environment: the Miriam Le of the fertile, volcanic islands of the east; the Kulkalgal of the sandy coral cays of the centre; the Saibailgal of the low mud-flat islands close to the New Guinea coast; the Maluilgal of the grassy, hilly islands of the centre west; and the Kaurareg of the low west, who for centuries had intermarried with Cape York Aboriginal people. They spoke dialects of two traditional but unrelated languages: in the east, Papuan Meriam Mir; in the west and centre, Australian Kala Lagaw Ya (formerly called Mabuiag); and they used a sophisticated sign language to communicate with other language speakers. Outliers of a broad Melanesian culture area, they lived in small-scale, acephalous, clan-based communities and traded, waged war and intermarried with their neighbours and the peoples of the adjacent northern and southern mainlands.

  • Conservation Advice Litoria Dayi Lace-Eyed Tree Frog
    THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister’s delegate approved this Conservation Advice on 13/07/2017. Conservation Advice Litoria dayi lace-eyed tree frog Conservation Status Litoria dayi (lace-eyed tree frog) is listed as Endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) effective 16 July 2000. The species is eligible for listing under the EPBC Act as on 16 July 2000 it was listed as Endangered under Schedule 1 of the preceding Act, the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). Species can also be listed as threatened under state and territory legislation. For information on the current listing status of this species under relevant state or territory legislation, see http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/sprat.pl . The main factor that was the cause of the species being eligible for listing in the Endangered category was a dramatic range contraction with an observed reduction in population size of greater than 50 percent. Populations are no longer present at altitudes greater than 300 m, likely due to chytridiomycosis (Hero et al. 2004). This species’ status under the EBPC Act is currently being reviewed as part of a species expert assessment plan for frogs. Description The lace-eyed tree frog was recently transferred to the genus Litoria from the genus Nyctimystes after Kraus (2013) showed that it did not meet the morphological characteristics for assignment to that genus (Cogger 2014). This species is a small to medium sized frog growing to 50 mm in snout-to-vent length.
