Cape York Peninsula Marine Water Quality Synthesis
Cape York Peninsula Marine Water Quality Synthesis Technical Report for the CYP Water Quality Improvement Plan November 2015 0 Cover Photos: Coral assemblage (top left) and Crown of Thorns starfish (top right) at Little Unchartered Reef (Christina Howley). 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. -

A Re-Examination of William Hann´S Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland
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.

7. Locating Seven Rivers
7. Locating Seven Rivers Fiona Powell 1. Introduction In December 1890, while on patrol down the west coast of northern Cape York Peninsula (NCYP), accompanied by Senior-Constable Conroy and a few native troopers of the Thursday Island Water Police, Sub-Inspector Charles Savage visited ‘the Seven Rivers’.1 From this place, the party went south to the mouth of the Batavia (now Wenlock) River. There they met the chief or mamoose of the Seven Rivers tribe,2 a man identified as Tongambulo (variations Tong-ham-blow,3 Tongamblow4 and Tong-am-bulo5) and also known as Charlie in one account.6 At the time of this meeting, Sub-Inspector Savage was seeking another candidate for induction into government policies intended ‘to civilize the Natives of Cape York Peninsula’.7 The first NCYP Aboriginal person to have had this experience was Harry, also known as King Yarra-ham-quee, and described as the ‘mamoose of the Jardine River’.8 This man had been taken to Thursday Island earlier in the year: where he underwent a course of instruction and when he had sufficiently understood what was required of him was taken back and made king, his subjects and several visitors, Natives of Prince of Wales Island, being present.9 1 ‘Conciliating the Natives’, Torres Straits Pilot, 6 December 1890, and published in The Queenslander, Saturday 27 December 1890: 1216 [hereafter ‘Conciliating the Natives’ Torres Straits Pilot]. 2 Savage, Charles 1891, Letter to the Honourable John Douglas, Government Resident Thursday Island, dated 11 February 1891, Queensland State Archives, Item D 143032, File - Reserve.
