Interest Tropical North History

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Northern Queensland was first visited by Europeans when Captain Cook was forced to land his damaged craft, the Endeavor, on the coast. The vicinity remained a mystery for almost another 100 years, until Europeans ventured north. These expeditions were hazardous and explorers were faced with harsh conditions and hostile Aboriginal tribes. In 1844 Ludwig Leichardt and his group set out from Brisbane to Port Essington but most of the men were killed or injured by Aborigines. In 1848, Edmund Kennedy led an expedition from Cairns to the top of Cape York. All but two of this celebrates moldy plus Kennedy who was speared by Aborigines.

Northern Queensland found wealth from the 19th to 20th century due to gold mines in the region. What was once a thriving city was now a one road town. Today most of their wealth comes from tourism. People travel here to stay at a hotel on the coastline or to visit one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Great Barrier Reef.

Queenslands outback region has a strong link with Australians national heritage. the Tree of Knowledge at Barcaldine marks the meeting place of the first Australian Labor Party during the great shearers strike of 1891.The town of Winston is where Banjo Paterson wrote Australians national song Waltzing Matilda’ in 1895.Today the vast Outback area is known for agriculture and for gold, silver and iron ore mining

Australians sugar producing fields are just north of Cairns. Cairns is the only city in this area, most are just small towns like Port Douglas and Mossman. In this region you can also find the Cape York Peninsula, one of the last untouched wildernesses, at 200,000sq kms. In the wet season this area is green and the rivers are full, but the opposite can be said for the dry seasons.

Cairns are well serviced by public transport with regular air, train and coach connections and also have an international airport.
