Book excerpt: Within these pages are sprinklings of tropical splendour; a finely curated selection of locally-sourced travel inspiration from Queensland's Tropical North. Stretching more than 1000km down the coastline from the most northern tip of Australia, this region of tumbling waterfalls and exquisite reefs is the first to feature in our coffee table travel series.Here, the planet's largest reef system sits tantalisingly close to the continent, separated by an array of idyllic islands and secluded sand cays. Parting ocean and outback is a rainforest 80 million years older than the Amazon, sprawled over ancient ranges that loom above the seaside. Tropical conditions and natural abundance present a delectable selection of local culinary delights, from mud crab to mangosteen, barramundi to black sapote. We've picked exotic fruits in the gardens of local growers, slept beneath an ochre monolith at a luxury outback lodge, sampled award-winning gins made with locally sourced botanicals and crawled into ancient cave systems deep beneath the Earth to uncover the magnificence of Australia's Tropical North.

Download or read book The Dyirbal Language of North Queensland written by R. M. W. Dixon and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1972-12-14 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1972, this study is dedicated to the surviving speakers of the Dyirbal, Giramay and Mamu dialects. For more than ten thousand years they lived in harmony with each other and with their environment. Over one hundred years ago many of them were shot and poisoned by European invaders. Those allowed to survive have been barely tolerated tenants on their own lands, and have had their beliefs, habits and language help up to ridicule and scorn. In the last decade they have seen their remaining forests taken and cleared by an American company, with the destruction of sites whose remembered antiquity is many thousands of years older than the furthest event in the shallow history of their desecrators. The survivors of the three tribes have stood up to these diversities with dignity and humour. They continue to look forward to the day when they may again be allowed to live in peaceful possession of some of their own lands, and may be accorded a respect that they have been denied, but which they have been forcibly made to accord to others.

Download or read book Invasion and Resistance written by Noel Loos and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Queensland has long been a frontier province of Aboriginal Australia. Well before Europeans penetrated to the south-west Pacific, the Torres Strait Islanders had regular and extensive contact with Aboriginal groups in Cape York Peninsula and the Dutch had visited the coast at intervals since 1606. Not till the coming of the white settler in the mid nineteenth century, however, did ‘invasion’ begin. When it did, the Aborigines were dispossessed of their land and, since in British eyes they had no title to it, resistance was considered a criminal activity. This book studies Aboriginal-European relations on four different frontiers of contact. Though the pastoral industry led to the colonisation of most of North Queensland other parts were also the scene of confrontation: the gold mines, the timber-getting areas of the rainforest which later were settled by farmers and the pearlshell and bêche-de-mer areas on the far north coast. In all areas, despite sometimes armed resistance by the Aborigines, the Europeans imposed their authority. This book has something challenging to say to all white Australians interested in the basic values on which their society is based and is an essential reference for Aborigines wanting to know how and why they were dispossessed.
