Hello

@oceangirl @Shaz51 @Adge @MDT @BPDSurvivor @Appleblossom and all others

 

Stunning photographs

 

The Wave is an incredible sight of nature

 

I have not been to North Queensland

I have been to North New South Wales and love the top part there. Visited parts of the hinterland and went on a boat tour on a river part meeting the ocean. The eco-system in the area was discussed. A lovely trip.

 

Thank you everyone for including names as well.

 

I found this and thought that I might add the information.

 

 Prior to European settlement the area around Augusta was occupied by members of the Wardandi Aboriginal language group. * In March, 1622 Dutch sailors sighted the south western tip of Australia and named it 'Landt van de Leeuwin' meaning the land of the lioness. There is a debate about the origin of the name. Cape Leeuwin appears on a Dutch map drawn by Hessel Gerritsz in 1627 with a note saying that it was discovered in 1622. 

 

Then this and look who gets a mention 😊

Although Augusta is a common town and city name and usually derives from the Roman Emperor Augustus, in the case of Augusta it was named by Captain James Stirling after Princess Augusta Sophia, the daughter of King George III.
