Abstract:
Paronella Park, near Innisfail in far north Queensland, is a 1930s pleasure garden of around five hectares on the old route of the Bruce Highway between Townsville and Cairns. The focus of the garden is the Mena Creek waterfalls close to the road crossing of Mena Creek. The garden stretches from the road eastwards along the north bank of the creek. The park is set in the sugarcane fields surrounding the South Johnstone Mill but the tropical planting within the garden has developed to a degree where this landscape setting in uniform cane fields is hard to believe.

Abstract:
Eight kilometres south-east of Ipswich, along the banks of Deebing Creek, lies the site of a former Aboriginal mission reserve which, from 1892 to 1915, accommodated Aboriginal people from across Queensland, displaced from their lands by encroaching white settlement and government intervention. Some came from faraway places – Normanton, Burketown, Cooktown, Townsville, Barcaldine, St George, Alpha, Mitchell, Cunnamulla, Roma, and even New South Wales. Others were from regions adjacent to the mission such as Logan, Beaudesert and Boonah and from nearby Ipswich, Purga and Deebing Creek itself.

Abstract:
Large volumes of methane plus some other gases are generated during the coalification process. Under suitable conditions some of this gas is adsorbed within the microporosity of coals. The rate at which the gas can desorb is a function of the permeability, degree of fracturing or cleating, moisture content, geochemistry of the coals, and the pressure differential. Flow rates from coals are generally low but can be dramatically improved by artificial stimulation and techniques such as lateral drilling.Methane drainage or coal de-methanisation has been carried out for many years, primarily for safety reasons. The resource value of methane in coal seams is now being recognised and considerable research is being undertaken both overseas and in Australia.In the Northern Bowen Basin, several million tonnes of coal are mined each year. The main seams of the Permian Collinsville, Moranbah, German Creek, and Rangal Coal Measures are generally thick and laterally extensive. The area north of Blackwater probably contains more than 100 billion tonnes of coal from which several hundred billion m3 (several Bcf) methane could conceivably be recovered in those areas where the coals are too deep for commercial exploitation.The coals of the Northern Bowen Basin are considered to have better physical parameters for the commercial development of methane drainage projects than those of the central and southern Bowen Basin where methane drainage projects were undertaken several years ago. It is estimated that more than 85 million m3 (3 Bcf) of recoverable gas per square km could be present in some areas. This gas can probably be produced for less than $1.50/GJ (1 Mcft, a figure which compares favourably with many conventional natural gas sources.The Northern Bowen Basin is well-situated with respect to potential gas markets at Townsville and Gladstone. The gas could also be used as a chemical feedstock for products such as ammonia, fertilisers, explosives or synfuels, with the plants located close to the producing wells, thus significantly reducing gas transport costs.

Robertson, AI. "Abundance, Diet and predators of juvenile banana prawns, Penaeus merguiensis, in a tropical mangrove estuary." Marine and Freshwater Research 39, no. 4 (1988): 467. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/mf9880467.

Abstract:
Sampling of Penaeus merguiensis de Man with a variety of nets in several microhabitats of a small mangrove-lined estuary near Townsville on seven occasions during 1985 and 1986 captured only one adult prawn. Juveniles of 1-21 mm carapace length (CL) entered the mangrove forest at high tide throughout the year in concentrations up to 0.45 m-3. The mean density of juveniles (3-23 mm CL) in small creeks, which drain into the mainstream of the estuary, was highest in April (41 m-2) and lowest in August (0.3 m-2). The diet of prawns varied with size and microhabitat within the estuary. In creeks, flocculent detrital material (FD) composed of organic aggregates, but without recognizable mangrove detritus, was the most important food item for three size groups of prawns. However, the importance of FD decreased with prawn size as did the proportions of small prey such as diatoms, ostracods and harpacticoid copepods in the diet. The importance of recognizable mangrove detritus increased with prawn size, but never made up more than 15% of the volume of the diet. Insects, mainly dipteran larvae and ants, were 15% of the dietary volume of medium sized prawns (11-15 mm CL) in creeks. On shallow banks on the edge of the maintstream of the estuary, prawns consumed more animal tissue than detritus, and polychaetes and fragments of large crustaceans were important items in the diet. Seven of the 122 species of fish captured in the estuary consumed P. merguiensis. Young barramundi, Lates calcarifer (Bloch), (30-50 cm total length) were the most important predators on juvenile P. merguiensis, with prawns making up 22% by volume of their diets. The possible causes of the link between juvenile P. merguiensis and mangroves are discussed.

Abstract:
An ecological study was undertaken on four populations of Krefft�s River Turtle Emydura krefftii inhabiting the Townsville Area of Tropical North Queensland. Two sites were located in the Ross River, which runs through the urban areas of Townsville, and two sites were in rural areas at Alligator Creek and Stuart Creek (known as the Townsville Creeks). Earlier studies of the populations in Ross River had determined that the turtles existed at an exceptionally high density, that is, they were superabundant, and so the Townsville Creek sites were chosen as low abundance sites for comparison. The first aim of this study was to determine if there had been any demographic consequences caused by the abundance of turtle populations of the Ross River. Secondly, the project aimed to determine if the impoundments in the Ross River had affected the freshwater turtle fauna. Specifically this study aimed to determine if there were any difference between the growth, size at maturity, sexual dimorphism, size distribution, and diet of Emydura krefftii inhabiting two very different populations. A mark-recapture program estimated the turtle population sizes at between 490 and 5350 turtles per hectare. Most populations exhibited a predominant female sex-bias over the sampling period. Growth rates were rapid in juveniles but slowed once sexual maturity was attained; in males, growth basically stopped at maturity, but in females, growth continued post-maturity, although at a slower rate. Sexual maturity was at 6-7 years of age for males, which corresponded to a carapace length of 150-160 mm, and 8-10 years of age for females, which corresponded to a carapace length of 185-240 mm. The turtles were omnivorous, although in the Ross River they ate more submerged vegetation (by percent amount and occurrence) than those of the Townsville Creeks. Turtles in Townsville Creeks ingested more windfall fruit and terrestrial insects.

"limited data for the greater Townsville area (Kay et al.1996). Based on the prevalence of key vector species and their abundance and that of the viruses recovered, it was concluded that Big Bay, originally recommended as a prime site for recreational development by the Department of Local Government in 1985, actually presented lower risk than any other locality. Antill Creek also proved relatively safe in terms of mosquito-borne infections, whereas Toonpan during the wet season was a place to be avoided. Both Ross River and the environs of Townsville offered intermediate risk, the latter due to large numbers of saltmarsh mosquitoes breeding in intertidal wetlands. 9.5 Snails and swimmer’s itch Schistosome dermatitis, known as swimmer’s itch, is a common global problem for users of recreational swimming areas in water resource developments. The rash is caused by free living larvae called cercariae (Figure 9.4) of parasitic flukes which burrow into exposed parts of the body. Normally the life-cycle involves water birds such as ducks and pulmonate snails, so infection of humans is accidental. A large number of cercariae may penetrate the skin where they die but cause a localized allergic reaction in sensitized persons. In northern Australia, swimmer’s itch (Trichobilharzia) has been traditionally associated with Austropeplea (= Lymnaea) lessoni (= vinosa) although two planorbid snails, Amerianna carinata and Gyraulus stabilis, have also been identified as intermediate hosts in Lake Moondarra near Mt Isa, Queensland. Our recent data implicates Gyraulus gilberti at the Ross River dam. Snails are also commonly infected with other trematode cercariae, mainly echinostomes, strigeids/diplostomids and clinostomids."
